This is great news for those Super kill challenges. I'm not great at PVP so I usually only get 2-3 per match, if that.

They canbut a couple are pretty tough

Reading v Derby tonight! The football season has officially begun😎

We have a few new faces here so rather than sift through all the posts to find PSN tags for tonight's races, here's a summary: @Narj: CaptConfusion @Spacedeck: Spacedeck @Scort: TheScort @Andybtsn: Andybtsn (not sure if racing or not, have asked on OcUK) I'll add more as they join but please send these guys some friend requests and get them involved!

If you haven't played the "Spark" redux mission I highly recommend it. The boss fight 😄😄😄

Epic night again for GTA Friday. Too many crashes to count back on. @Narj and @Spacedeck fit in like gloves with the amount of crashing they started! I can't even believe Shut up Adam @Dr Diamond turned up too. @Greboth won far too many on his first week back since being reborn. Honestly, the night goes so quick and my eyes bleed after crying of laughter for most of the night. GGFG all. @crispymorgan @Diddums @Spacedeck @Downsy2000 @Amnotright @LordBaguette @Narj @techno @phil bottle @Dr Diamond @Misneach_ TeeHee(Stouty)

It says to start with full solstice armour then when I loaded in I changed to my regular higher light stuff except for the piece with the homecoming mission and did it that way.

I don't, which is why I got the Modmic in the first place. I should still be alright though. Not sure if I'll be on for 8 as GF playing Trials but shouldn't be too long if I don't make it for 8.

I honestly haven't done any photography to a standard I'm happy with yet. We have a reservoir about an hours walk away from here, so I keep meaning to wake up early enough to get up there for the sunrise. Loads of fields and stuff too, so should atleast find something to photograph. I get some great shots of my daughter but I feel that it's the camera doing the work on them. I just joined Abobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan so I can jump on Lightroom and learn about editing my images. The only images I have uploaded to Flickr was very early on when I got my camera (https://www.flickr.com/photos/139888824@N06/). This also was before I really wanted to learn to edit the images. Both taken along the local canal. If I can learn to edit some of the better pictures of my daughter, I might start uploading them. Subject wise, I like scenery and wildlife, I am interested in other things like racing or airshows but I haven't done any of that yet. I need to get out more for opportunities to take photos but I just don't do it 🤨. Due to my lack of confidence mostly, I planned on going to my local ParkRun to take photographs but again, I haven't had the guts to do so. I have a D3300 with the stock 18-55mm lens, also have 35mm lens and a longer 55-300mm which I like to use for wildlife .

Thoughts on this after a few days. (I wont' go into game library comparisons) Being able to play all my old digital 360 games is pretty amazing to be honest. The menu system is absolutely horrible. OMG it is bad. I am pretty sure they had blind people test it using braille enabled controllers. I actually had to ask my nephew how to turn the damned thing off. It is all so counter-intuitive. Graphic's and sound are actually amazing, but its hard getting passed the horrible menu system. The controller is good, it feels nice in Destiny 2, really quick and responsive. My KD actually was better in the crucible. This might be because most good players are on PS4. If so, I should be wrecking shop here soon. The Xbox Game pass subscription service is also pretty nice for 10$, the game selection was better than the PS4 version of it. Using it as a media center is also better, sort of.... Once again the menu system is absolute shit. Their appeared to be more streaming services on it than what the PS4 had, I need to look into this more. Conclusion: The system is actually really good, if you can ignore the UI. The UI is so terrible that is obvious to me why PS4 is dominating right now purely based on user experience. If Microsoft were to address the shit menu system, I could see the Xbone X being a better system to be honest. I have read a lot of horror stories about hardware issues, so I will have to see how this treats me over the next few months.

The place has certainly livened up a bit over the last couple of weeks, it's great to be able to post from work again as I'm usually fucked by the time I get home and then it's relaxing time, not post on forum time. I agree it's great to see so many folks making a comeback and so many joining the fray. Good stuff FG

Just wanted to mention that it's pretty awesome to see so many PPR updates of late. Its great to catch up with so many of you and read what you've been up to. I hope you can continue these updates as its a great little way to keep a track of your gaming progress and a little insight into what's happening in your lives, as we all know that we're way more than just interwebz friends aren't we 😆 To the recent newer folk of FG, go tale a look. Its a great way to extend your recent new 'Hello' and helps get to know a lot more people around the place. You may even find other good interesting updates in there too! Oh, and you'll ever see them if you're logged in so it is absolutely a place just for FGers... as you guys are all FG too now! 😃 GGFG

Can the redux missions be done solo? If not if people are on to do them over the weekend I'd appreciate the help as I've only just picked up the green armour today

Welcome to FG

I work all weekend and doubt anyone will be on Monday morning to do it. I’m off next weekend so hopefully can do it then.

Woohoo looks like Shut Up Adam might even make an appearance 😎

Still need two more missions on the green set. Hope to finish it Monday

Yeah that was a fun fight

I watched bits of Drift0r's stream and he got fucking battered in almost every match. There's no nades or special grenades so you're relying purely on the gunplay and that looks pretty horrendous. It looked so polished and clean on a LAN at E3 but 150 heath + shitty bullet detection/connection + armour and it's a nightmare by the look of things. The TTK and insta health regen seems fatally flawed and the UI and on screen HUD is ugly as hell.

Greboth Guru, has a nice ring to it

I’ve never had a problem with it though I’ve really only used it in the last few years. I was rendering on a 3770 so not massively more powerful but maybe working with already compressed files helps. I really don’t know that much about video files. @Diddums how did I know you were going go link to that one! Forget that though, go full spec with dual socket threadrippers or xeons, a couple quaddro cards Can the FGFG fund stretch to £50k+?

Nice introduction! I’m far more into my cars than bikes but anything with an engine and wheels is an interest so good to have more petrolheads on here. You seem to have a hood selection of games which overlaps with most if what we play. I’ll try to remember to add you later on PS

I think I tried handbrake a few times and had issues with it, can't remember what it was but it never played nice (we're going back 5 years now tho). I used to render on my trusty 2500k. Maybe I should buy this, should cut my render times down a bit. @GazzaGarratt how much is in the FG fund? Can you buy me that PC?

Welcome to FG. It is always good to see fresh meat......I mean see a new face around here. It is good to have more PC people too.

The impression I've got from looking on Reddit is that the body armour is annoying as fuck. Couple that with other things that boost your health and it makes gunfights completely random as you never know how much health people will have. And it has a shit Destiny-ish UI where you navigate with a cursor rather than use the controller buttons and sticks.

Get your names down for tonight as its FG GTA FRIDAY PEOPLE. Calendar event is on there as always! I think we could get a serious amount of FGers on tonight. Can see us breaking the current 14-man race record tonight. You in? Edit: Stick down any requests for tonight too!!

Ive only just started since getting back from holiday so only in green armour and only started my Titan. Normally I would be looking to do all three but lack of time means I’ll probably just do one. Also trying to pick up moments of triumph along the way (got latent memories done today) and need WotW as well. So much to do , so little time!

So it’s live if you preordered digital. Not impressed with the look of it at all. I love the Blops series but this looks disappointing to me. If Bees gets it and wants to play I may get it. If not I’ll pass

We had a quick go at Eater of Worlds Prestige. Well, its abit rough this week as Ads just pummel you intonthe ground quickly at the first phase. We'll have to be more prepared and think of a few strats on Prestige mode to make the ads less painful. Determined to get it though.

Hey, multiple reskinned maps and pretty much the same specialists with a few new ones. Rushed like a motherf*cker. Didn't like specialists in the previous BO either. And from what I've seen from this, it's a big Fuck No for me. The QSing alone should put people older than 16 off this game.

Thought this thread was going to be about Arsenal😎

I've been recording Stalker on Twitch this week. Mostly playing with audio settings. The final broadcast was about 45 minutes long and I think the audio is finally getting there. I really should start using my Astros though. I'm intending to do a Stalker video this weekend from the footage. On the highest settings the game looks good, despite its age.

That is impressive tbh. Lol. It was a quick way rather than check as your post was seriously worded that way. I'm sure people will answer if you spend the time to interact like some recent folk have. Its a unique place here that you'd find out if you stayed. Anyways, the quickest answer from me would be - don't focus on the money. Focus on the fun. Games are meant to be fun and people can see straight through it if its forced. My 2p and welcome to FG, Pedro.

Holy moly, why? I love Spyro and will be buying this on release, hopefully. This news though is just stupid, how can they not fit everything on one disc? How big is the first game? If Crash can do, I don't see why Spyro can't. To include a day one patch of TWO full games could be pretty huge in itself. I really wanted to buy this as a physical but now I think I might as well just go for digital and get the extras from PSN...

Let me know if anyone needs help with these. I’ve still got to do all of them so I don’t mind helping.

I'm on if you need a hand

Pretty much what Rob said. /patientgaming4lyfe!

You couldn't pay me to touch Call of Duty or pre-ordering a game, let alone a pre-ordering Call of Duty.

I think PC had an open beta. Either way, not touching this shit even if it blows up like Fortnite has. Famous last words I know...🤣 Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Not a chance I'll get this unless there is some kind of massive change in the industry. I've reached a point where I'm pretty much going to stop spending my hard earned money on triple bullshit games companies. I have plenty of games to keep me occupied for years. Other than Fallout 76 and maybe Red Dead I don't see myself supporting the madness any more. I need to save money for a new GPU and not buying games seems the bestxeay to save. Plus, I need to catch up on games I bought in sales. On console I still have Last of us and Horizon to play.on PC there's a queue and I just started Warframe...so yeah...fuck em all...for the time being....end of ramble[emoji6] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
