Game #2; Chicago Fire vs Orlando City, Mastering FIFA 16 from Semi Pro to Legendary 

25/9/2015

 
Our first real game sees me playing in the US Open Cup. I'm not sure why but my PC loves the Chicago Fire so that's the team I chose.
Gameplay still at semi-pro level.

I have a very simple desire to improve at FIFA. In this series I will be showing my development throughout the game as I aim to be proficient in the Legendary band of the game at some point in the future. It's a tall order but one I want to fulfil.

The Backwards Compatible Random Chat Podcast; Epsiode 10; FIFA Chat #1 The Visual Experience

16/1/2015

In this weeks Random Chat I take a look at one of my favourite franchises in Gaming FIFA. I'm flying solo but in the cast I talk about FIFA and its place in the wider gaming world along with the odd tangent.

This video can also be listened to as a podcast via iTunes and other podcast services. Check out the Random Chat on Backwards Compatible for further details.

Special Recognition Award; Services to the Promotion of Batman.

28/12/2014

 
Picture
In the far flung past of Backwards Compatible we had a little show called Why should I? In this show I would have guests come on and tell me why their favourite pieces of entertainment needed attention. On one of these shows (the video below), Chris and Matt came on to tell me about the greatness that is The Court of Owls by Scott Snyder and Greg Capulo. Now thanks to a sale at Comixology (although I got mine from Amazon on the Kindle store) I have realised my error in judgement by not getting into this series earlier.

For their brave attempt to educate a boring old fart and for being right, I award them this Special Recognition Award; Services to the Promotion of Batman.

Random Chat; For the love of FFA; Call of Duty Ghosts; Hunted Free for All 

6/3/2014

 
My first look at Call of Duty Ghosts did not go according to plan. I have tried a few times over the last few days to get some footage of this mode but to no avail. So today I changed tact and created a video with the help of a few computer generated helpers. The gameplay is pretty sweet but please be aware I am playing privately with bots.
As always if you like hate or are indifferent to the video please leave a comment or thumb up/down.
I thank you for reading this far and I bid you farewell.

Random Chat; Titanfall Thoughts and Beta Gameplay

17/2/2014

As a spoiler this game has hooked me.
First Person Shooters have a habit of making players fell like Gods or else make them feel worthless. One of the unique aspects aspects of Titanfall is no matter your skill you can feel like a God among Men.
In this video I have tonnes of fun in a Titan or two as well as get some kills and more than a dash of deaths. 

Special thanks to @ILoveMalteaser1 for sorting me out with a Beta code a wonderful gesture and very much appreciated.

Random Chat; Can Tomb Raider; Definitive Edition, be the true HD remake we have been craving?

29/1/2014

 
Picture
Tomb Raider was my game of the year for 2013 (you can read why here).
Now my favourite game is having a full make over and the changes that are being implemented although mostly cosmetic sound amazing.
The Trailer below will give you all the details you need but for me one of the most impressive points concerns the yellow Walkie Talkie you can see on Lara's back in the picture to the right. In the first game things just appeared when you needed them as if by magic. Now we are seeing a more realistic take on a character model as well as their interactions with heir own equipment.

I hope this is the start of improvements by developers in this area as they strive for a more realistic form of storytelling.

Random Chat; comment on @xXGunsForShowXx, Earn your YouTube Support !

28/1/2014

 
I first found Guns thanks to his previous series called My wife is trying to kill me. It featured a dual comm with his better half where they were playing COD. From there I found his other videos to be of good quality but most importantly this is a man with something to say.

In this video his concern is how to correctly interact with others on YouTube. If you are an aspiring commentator its a great lesson in etiquette and I must say I am guilty of a few of the sins listed here (but I do not ask for a sub for a sub)

Anyway lesson learned and I hope you will enjoy the video as well.

Random Chat; Pain from 12 yards out FIFA 14 Penalty Discussion.

24/1/2014

Why are penalties so difficult?
As an Englishman I have had my fair share of penalty heartbreaks but what is it about the 12 yard spot that makes scoring so difficult?
In this video I take a look at how FIFA 14 makes the task of penalty taking a bit of a chore and also have a little think at last nights penalty shootout featuring Manchester United &  Sunderland

    What this is

    The random chat is changing a little to be just as the title says. This is going to function as my place to chat about things that can come from anywhere, from TV to films to Sport to gaming. Most things are up for discussion even though I will avoid the key no no's like Religion, Politics and Macro Economics (Micro economics of the gaming/comics world though is still fair game) and of course the biggie whether the Spice Girls were the greatest musical group of all time or not. I hope to bring a taste of something different in these posts and please feel free to comment where you see fit.
