Don't you just those people.If he's not one of us then he really should be here in the retro thread! Hopefully the article is true regarding Konami and they are beginning to realise they need to sort out the offline side of the game and get back to concentrating more on that.
@WhoAteMeDinner
Can't really argue with that apart from the spitting, think that's disgusting as it was when in that Germany v Holland game. No need for it at all.
I've not really seen any of the women's world cup bar a bit of highlights here and there. I'd imagine France or USA would win it from what I have seen.
As to the comments from Neville, I'm sure they could find some old clips to show him
Seriously?They sound like the sort of people we have now who get offended on other people's behalf. The sort that will say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas in case they offend another religion (who actually aren't in the least bit bothered about it!). Or the one's who go on twitter to complain in absolute outrage that a shop doesn't have a blue sweater for their little girl. So go shop somewhere else then.
She's been boycotting them for a while right?
Spot on!That's almost what we say only we end it "on penalties"
As to the other point, you're right, that's the whole point of jokes (joke being the operative word, people(!) ) to poke fun at something whatever it may, stereotypes, men, women. Here's a briliant clip about being offended, health and safety and political correctness.
Sure does,they haven't been Uber impressive (Germany ) yet.Yes she stopped playing for Norway in 2017 over pay equity and stress.
Chin up though for Sweden my friend. The German women's team are not quite the same as their male counterparts......yet.
Guess that inner sense of superiority takes a while to grow.
(Well sort of but this question stems from a discussion we had here about the causes of the death of grand and epic video games in the mid-2000s and not just PES, but RTS and strategy games too. Was it just the new online intensive console generation of the Xbox One and PlayStation 3 or did the arrival of the IPhone in 2007 deliver the fatal blow to our gaming world).
Lol @rockstrongo , dude, the lack of self-awareness of some very privileged white people is almost absurd and funny. But also deeply offensive to developing countries in Africa and elsewhere.
Remember we once called it the third world and yet some forget that women footballers have none of the support, training and facilities in Africa that are taken for granted here in Europe.
A certain poodle-haired German player once spat at Frank Rijkaard. And the use of an odd elbow in most men's professional games is frankly routine.
Guess you get an outrage pass if you are white and blonde.
I was swearing and insulting my players while watching loooool, especially whenever there's an opportunity to pass the ball to a free teammate and that pass would make a clear chance but the sucker keeps trying to dribble.
My first spent was in a KONAMI's free mobile-app, trading card game (yu-gi-oh). Basically i had not any serious intend to spend on the game, as it was a typical KONAMi mess, buggy single player with app-crashes, ultra-buggy online pvp and almost no support or application updates and fixes after the initial months.Quick question for everyone. What is the most you have spent on a Smartphone game ?
Your thoughts welcome comrades.....
and the second decent purchase i have spent ZERO money to anything. I only regret for a turn-based RPG i have on my smartphone Android, Summoner WAR-SKy Arena, cause i play it since 2014 and it is decent RPG and has cery good support, although the last 2 years i can't play it due to lack of time and it needs daily attestation. If i continued to play daily, i would give them maybe 5 or 7 euros, not for the loot-boxes, but to support their good job as a developer company. Their name is Come2us.@mattmid, matters mate, expected as much from yourself. Not distracted from the true path.
Let us pray....
Smartphone game - bugger all, I have never bought one. I have no inclination to play a game on my phone, why play on a tiny screen when you can play on a full size tv? I guess if you travel a lot then it's something to do but not for me.

I just put 7€ cause i wanted to test out a digital pre-paid card i had created back then and it was the minimum amount i could spend. A STRANGE observation i made was that, in-game there was a shop with loot boxes, that you could spend in-game currency points acquired from battles, where the RNG drop rate was very poor, it used to give the worst cards in free spins. AFTER i spent the 7€, the next 5-10 free spins in loot-boxes, gave some of the most rare and powerful monster cards. I assume a similar algorithm works in PES/FIFA "surpise boxes!!!" This was a total waste of money although.Thumbs up KONAMI!!!
My second purchase worth my money 1,000%. I gave 4€ for a DS emulator, which is the only one i have found for ANDROID without any slowdowns. Unortunatelly Nintendo DS code emulators are usually very messy , even in powerfull PC, this 4euros emulator i paid worked for every game that the free DS-emuls failed to run without dramatic slowdowns.
Except the first test money to KONAMI
@slamsoze , thanks for the feedback my old pal. What drew my attention to this topic was the increased power of smartphones that are now packing enough processing power to run PC or Nintendo DS games from fifteen to twenty years ago, as you mentioned, the new phones can run emulators at full speed too.
There are now full version of games like Z Steel Soldiers for sale on Android phones and Final Fantasy series games from the early 1990s being flogged for a whopping 16 euro to squint at on a tiny phone screen.
So gentlemen, here is the big media corporations master plan at work. Make older PC games from the 2000s unplayable on the newest and mandatory OS for Windows. Then start selling the same games back to us for a six inch smartphone screen, to blind us and mug us at the same time.
Nice one Google, Microsoft, Sony and all....
