With Final Shape being delayed, Bungie promised some bits to keep players engaged. I think they've done a decent job looking at what seems available: Here's the trailer: Some thoughts Finally added some form of a horde mode, called Onslaught. 50 levels. Different difficulties. 12 weapons, removed because of gamebreaking elements, now back in the game. Updated and enhanced. 2 exotic missions. Whisper and Zero Hour. Probably 2 of the best missions we've ever had. Raid Gauntlet Boss new activity. I think if this works, this will hit fantastically hard. There seems more but those were the key parts for me. Most people are saying PvP will be broken as hell, but I think we were already there anyway with that lol. For free for the 2 months ahead of the Final Shape, it seems like a great update to me. Any thoughts?

Its finally coming....soon. Never thought it would be 10 whole years of Destiny and we'd get some form of a conclusion to the games story and activities we've played for so long. Trailer above shows we finally have a new 5th enemy race, as rumoured at the start of Destiny that we'd have 5 total races. They are also combining Light and Dark subclasses to create a new subclass, Prismatic. They clearly are blowing all the doors off what's possible now in Destiny and open admit they want to break certain floors and ceilings in the game. If the story can be anywhere near as good as Witch Queen, then we'll be in for a treat. I can't see any reason why it won't be. I'm intrigued to see what else they change with it. Possibly a few months of this before an overhaul and into a Destiny 3??? I'll keep that to another thread but for now, Final Shape seems to be finally giving us that wow factor we've missed for so so long. As for me, its been a long break for Destiny - nearly 18 months it feels like. I've been cautious to get back into it before now because it never felt any different. Regardless of how this lands, I think its probably a perfect time for most FGers, old returning Destiny folk or ones that never tried it, to into this DLC. To finish off a story that's been a huge part of our lives, as well as FG, seems fitting to try and get as many on it as possible. Set at £40 to be released 6th June, which I think is reasonable. With the new Into The Light refresh they are having right now for a few months, this should also leave us with plenty of activities to experience together. No boring grinding btw, just finding nights where we can hook up and help each other accomplish cool, awesome missions, strikes, dungeons, raids, etc. Anyone else have thoughts on this gameplay?

Me too as you've told me about this before! Looks decent. As you say, one man band so be interesting how its supported over time when you find a killer bug.

Loads of gameplay there! 🤣 It does look good, cutscene wise...😅

Me neither, but I loved the first episode! I won't get many references but its good to know it feels like its a really good watch regardless if you have or haven't played the game.

I think its only fun with FG. I may be somwhat biased in that answer, but when they do this type of stuff it just doesn't feel fun to play at all. With others, you create far more interesting and fun objectives in each match to focus on. I'll play scheduled events on when we can with a group of FGers and maybe some FG Fridays to keep it ticking over.

Yeah, all the episodes too apparently so you can binge to your heart's content 😄

The end of that killed me @phil bottle 🤣🤣🤣 I know his pain though! 😭

Looks like a Devil May Cry game, and I was always pants at that style of game. Nice to know there's a demo though for people who want to give it a go.

Yes mate - absolutely loving the game. We need to try crossplay more but I think its also knowing when people are on PC as one of the things that had a bug since launch was the friends in-game system. Whilst it has a few bugs here and there for £30 its an absolute steal. A few missions here and there together in a group is awesome and also brings some hilarity to the conversation as someone's 500kg Bomb beats the shit out of you when they throw it on your head....accidentally of course 👀🤣

I've finally finished all the Cafe Menu books so now just have the Extra Menus to work on which is basically unlocking the cars. Trying to not to spend too much as I wait for the Ferrari to be on sale for the Platinum PS trophy. I like the fact I should be able to save money via these menus though, as i've got 150 cars so plenty of purchases to make!

How big are the screenshots? I increased the cap to 10MB per post a while back so should be enough? Pictures stored on FG are the biggest source of cost increase on our host bills (like most other websites) so you can probably understand why theres a size cap on it - I wish there was an inbuilt system like whatsapp that makes the pictures absolutely tiny on memory (less than half a MB most times) but as we don't have huge traffic of constant photos its not too bad tbh.

Spelt PS5 wrong 😄 In all seriousness, I enjoyed the gameplay but I think it never grips me too much based on the intensity for a top down shooter is far different to FPS. I would love to go back and finish the story though. Maybe crossplay is worth a shout if its a thing.

He really is World Class. He now has that aura around him that other countries are afraid of which always gets him more goals too. I feel we've always needed a Bellingham, someone to really standout as best player in the world. Owen was the only one when he burst onto the scene that felt similar. Lets hope he stays fit as he'll need a truckload of players to stop him. I still winning tournaments is much harder than people realise. Stuff needs to go your way, and the consistency is hard to get against other top quality players over 7, 90 minute games. I so badly want us to get over the line as I really do think the philosophy the international team has followed has been the right one for years - its just that mental hurdle to get past now. 🤞

Games. Games. Games. Can't see what a PS5 Pro can do really without better, exciting, enhanced games ready to come out and blow us away. Games will almost certainly dictate what people will play on...and I think they are forgetting not everyone that had a PS4 has a PS5 yet due to the sheer availability and cost of them for so long has been super high.

Bloody hell mate, didn't know you needed that and you've spunked all your money away! Le Mans every day here we come 🤣

I watched it a few days ago too and honestly its a run of the mill, easy watching, action film. Nothing too crazy, although McGregor in parts is hilarious so its worth 6-7 out of 10. Never watched the original, probably should now but I enjoyed this one nonetheless.

Nah that can't be right. It won't just be free for a month. If you 'purchase' it via this PS Plus offering then you're effectively buying the DLC. So it should absolutely be free for however long you keep your PS Plus subscription which you'll always have.

I think the theme is it depends on what the MTX is. Or maybe it should be the total cost of one skin and have a cap on what one should cost. I don't agree how nice looking skins get marketed to young kids in Fortnite at the costs they are. No wonder why parents spend so much on that game as they should be just 1-2 quid given what they do in game is nothing.

I don't mind them much really - you don't have to buy them. I think sometimes gamers aren't able to take a step back and put themselves into the developer/programmer company side of things, just to help give some balance. No doubt about it, its income for a company, but i'd suggest thinking about what its used for. If I had made a great game and there was an outcry to add certain cosmetics or even extra enemies then I'd have to think how do I pay for the devs to make it. Thats just common sense. There is a reason we're seeing not many AAA games being made now and its purely down to cost. People can say 'it wasn't like that back in the day', but we have to be mindful that gamers expectations change and shift over time. Demand for the best graphics, the biggest games, the largest content drops, etc...its relentless and I don't envy any company that makes games these days. Social Media and the way we gorge content is just something that can't be matched in terms of delivery of content in games. I may be widening the discussion but I hope you can understand why I try to take in both sides of the story before thinking immediately from the gamer side that 'they're just crap'. However, you still need morally correct businesses to choose the right reasons to implement MTXs. That's my initial 2p anyway.

Honestly, if the Ferrari I now need to Platinum this game sells out before I logon, I will be screwing so badly. I've just found a website where they'll send you an email once the car is available in the Legend shop. It updates daily so can't see it selling out by the time i get the email. Might wanna have a look mate. Legend Cars - Gran Turismo 7 GTDB.IO The complete list of legendary cars in Gran Turismo 7, with all the details – including what's appearing next. Any other way of getting invitations other than just reward tickets?

This is brilliant, thank you all so far. I've known for a while we have underutilised sections and its a cyclical thing really. We really removed things over time to make it simplistic and then I added new features on top over time to keep the place fresh and worth coming back to it. This feedback really helps work out where we can potentially remove certain areas off the main focus when they don't seem to be being used and try and circulate more key features. I think I've always been clear on one principle that has to stay for FG to work for me and that's the website being our main HOME. WhatsApp is chill and great for connecting, as is Discord, but its not personable as this place as is viewed as 'your place', not standardised bland group chats. One thing is for sure, I need to pick Announcements again, which are similar to what Welchy picks up around what's on. It was essentially a notification system of telling you all there's some new shit this week, go and check it out. It was just something that takes a while to get used to doing because everything requires time. Time around work, life, home, kids, etc. We can all make time though, if we want stuff to work. And I'd love to try yet another way of getting more people involved, I won't stop trying different ways to ask people if they want to get in on the FG act - just note that's its not the first I've asked everyone so its on everyone to recognise that a little more stepping up to the plate is all that's needed for FG to grow and flourish. So with that in mind, whilst I take some thought on some changes, let this be the place for the first way to gather interest on who would love to be involved in this stuff. Even if its just one small part of FG, it all counts. Remember, there's many things where people can immediately add value by just going into that section and creating or interacting with it. Quizzes, for example, ANYONE can create one if you are an FGer. I have also linked very many medals and achievements for interacting with this type of stuff, including responding to Events so it all counts, especially if you can see a nice shiny medal on your FG profile. Please keep the feedback coming in here everyone - its great we've had 4 comments above but more feedback and dialogue in here between us all will really help get things going at FG 👊

Very interesting, nice share John! @Tar-Eruntalion 4v1 games have got some traction with Friday the 13th type games in the past so being on PC is probably the best place they'll get that. Not sure how they'll manage matchmaking though as thats not been their bag before. I just wish they'd push out a ton of RPG, quest shaping elements in the main 7 Days game as the sandbox makes the game worth playing, just needs a little more depth.

The whole weekend of football was a delight to watch, maybe with the exception of the Man City game. Incredible cup ties, and what the FA Cup is supposed to be all about. For any neutral watching football for the first time, that was pinnacle football drama at its best. Fair play to all the ones that got through too. Every winner felt like they did enough in my eyes to win their cup ties.
