I put a disgusting amount of time into FM over the years (have had every release of the past 12 years, since I was 15) and it has lost its fun somewhat over the time. The 2011 and 2015 versions are my two benchmarks - with a whopping 1,000 hours on the latter. It was simpler back then and i would manage teams for 10+ in game years. Nowadays, it feels stale after a couple of seasons and i've struggled to get into the recent versions.
Haven’t checked but I’m pretty sure my play times on 15 & 21 are really similar? I haven’t been able to do a save of more than a season and a half, feel like it was way more enjoyable than it is now
 
Played through Mass Effect Legendary Edition in all of 7 days. 130 hours total.

Its still a special series, although not really worth if you have the games unless you don't have any of the DLCs. The older ones have barely been touched up while ME3 is the same, even has the same weird bugs like shields not regenerating if you set the frame cap to higher than 120. I'd never played the ME3 DLCs so that was new, and the Citadel DLC adds a nice chunk of personality to the characters. I know it includes the 'extended cut' with more details to the endings but I still feel unsatisfied from the endings. Definitely more enjoyment out of the journey, rather than destination.

Got Andromeda while it was cheap ready for next week after I finish my masters dissertation. I know its crap but I just love the ME universe so I don't care.

Similarly loved the ME games but Andromeda is so bad from the start that it completely takes you out of it. It's not even the terrible graphics or gameplay - it's just completely off in terms of character and dialogue.
 

Enjoying Sable on Gamepass at the moment

Love the aesthetic and idea - It's a little glitchy and doesn't run perfectly but well worth a look



Haven't tried that yet but I seen it was developed by 2 people. Always find it impressive when modern games are created by small teams. Pretty sure 3 or 4 people developed Hollow Knight.

There lies the problem with modern gamers - More bothered about the presentation than the gameplay

Who's really arsed if the players likenesses are perfect? FIFA has been using a football made of sponge for the past 10 years and people seemingly haven't noticed

all reports suggest everything about the game is terrible though, some of the clips on twitter of the gameplay are hilarious.

I mean if I'm staring at it for hours and hours every week then I kinda want it to look nice. It is 2021.
 

Looks like they’ve added Ozil’s eyes to Messi?
Such a shame though! Pro Evo on the PS2 was absolutely fabulous. Not sure how they made a footie game feel so right, almost like it triggered the muscle memory of actually playing football, but they did. Only other game that's gotten close to that feeling for me was Sensible Soccer.

The FIFA gameplay is much better than it used to be, but it still doesn't have that "feel" to it. Maybe because you don't feel like you have full control?

Yeah agreed on that, I do miss the old PES games. Some games on FIFA, if just feels like no matter what you do, you won’t win. Others you get stupid luck in your way, just doesn’t make sense. FIFA 13 was the last one I actually really enjoyed properly.

I’ve only played PES demos occasionally over the years, really not a fan of it at all
