  1. I ditched the whole AC franchise years ago and only recently got back into it with Valhalla (cause Vikings), but ever since this game came out to this very day I still see people talking about how good it was. And it’s got me wondering if it’s worth picking up for the ps4 after all these years? Anyone played it much that could give me some input at all?
  2. Congrats everyone! Can’t believe The Mad Twatter ran away with an award too @TheMuggySpud 😂😂
  3. If Spurs still had Poch I would't mind as much as he was a great guy and what he did with the club was amazing, but Jose can fuck right off 🤣 I don't want that man winning any trophies ever again. Bring back Happy Harry so we get some awesome deadline day signings! At least he was entertaining 😂
  4. Another thing I love about this game are all the references to pop culture. Some of the missions being named after famous songs always tickles me the right way and I also did a sidemission which basicly pays tribute to a scene from the US version of The Office, fucking brilliant. Also had my first actual bug that wasn't just the game crashing. Went into a building where someone laid a trap for me and shut the garage door behind me so I couldn't leave until the target in there was dead. Fair enough... Except the target could glitch through the closed garage door. Luckily a nearby gangmember killed him while I was trapped inside 🤣 I've got the footage of it saved as well.
  5. Graphics on the bog standard PS4 not as good as I expected, but they aren't bad. Might also be down to my shit monitor though. Overall I'm not a fan of the hacking or stealth mechanics, they will definetly take some time getting used to for me. Combat is decent, but I need to figure out if you can outright buy ammo as I keep running out 😅 I love that your lifepath option comes into play during conversations and also that you get more options at times depending on what you put skill points into. Inventory UI is kind of meh... Bit too unorganized and cluttered for me and kind of hard to navigate at first but I'll probably get used to it. Not really explored a whole lot, just kept going with missions at the start so I'm really excited to look around Night city properly later. Loving the story and the characters so far and there seems to be a lot of sidemissions you can do as well as a ton of random events around the city. I'm sure once I've played more my opinion on things might change, but we'll see. Definetly enjoying it so far!
  6. Got it downloading right now, as soon as it let's me boot the game I will 😂 Staying clear of reviews, the only opinion I care about when it comes to this game will be my own!
  7. Holy shit. I'd actually love to have that as well
  8. Welcome aboard James! In Rod we trust! 😄
  9. 9 days... Not gonna lie I'm looking forward to this more than christmas eve 😂
  10. I'm not actually watching the matches so I dunno, but seems we just can't score. I like how Keane is the one saying it as united were 1 spot above us on the table before the weekend as well. But then again he's always been a twat 😂
  11. Don't know how many FG'ers have the game, but I figured one of these threads might still be helpful to some people. Sure, youtube and google covers pretty much everything, but there's always something that's left out and then there's also the dangers of spoilers when looking something up. So for my tips I will try to keep them spoiler free or at least add a warning when there is one. If you play AC Valhalla and have some useful tips to share, don't hesitate, post them up! Here's what I've found so far: 1. Synin the raven. This avian companion of yours is actually really useful. He's a bit clunky to use but he also has some pretty good sides. If you are in an area you haven't synchronized and want to know if there is anything to explore or any dangers around, simply summon Synin and take a look around. He will give you a very nice view of the surrounding area and can fly pretty far from your location to seek things out. You can also mark locations with him which will make it easier for you to get there. The other good thing with Synin is during certain instances you'll have to seach an area for an ally, location or enemy but the game doesn't tell you where that is. Summon Synin and fly around and it will show you a big blue circle. That's where you want to go! 2. Flyting. I thought this would be just another pointless minigame like the drinking contests, but it actually gives you more charisma which at times will help you out with dialogue options. So they are actually worth doing. 3. You can steal money back. If you have to pay an npc for anything, you can steal your money back off them if you are standing behind them. You might get caught, but if you spent a tidy sum and need the silver for other things it might be a risk worth taking. (Haven't checked if it works with shopkeepers) 4. Treasure hunts. Those golden dots on your map and compass? They're worth getting. I think I spent 90% of my first night playing this just hunting treasure. Some are easy to get to, others more complicated and I'll happily admit I had to youtube a couple of them, but down the line I'm glad I did. These treasures can be anything from suppleis for your settlement, materials to upgrade gear or just gear and are all worth taking the time to get. 5. Gear. There seems to be no "oh this piece of gear is so much better than this piece of gear" mentality in AC Valhalla. They all have their strengths and depending on playing style and what skills you pick you can run whatever set of weapons and armour that you want. Look on the bonuses the gear gives you and what bonuses the skills you pick gives you and find what suits you. I quite like this because it means you can use just about anything as long as it suits how you play. 6. Skills. You can reset your skills at any given time! This is actually quite huge. There's no complicated thing to get in order to do a full reset and no feeling of "Shit, I messed this up and should have picked something else". As I said about the gear, pick what suits your playing style, or what aligns the best with the gear you have equipped to maximize your stats if you want, got a new piece of gear that has a different bonus and needs you to reskill from light armour into heavy? Not a problem at all. Just reset! 8. Power levels. Grind, grind and grind some more. Just about anything gives you xp in AC Valhalla, and you'll need it. Getting your power levels up takes a bit of time and I've been to areas I really shouldn't have been in to get high level gear early on, which while worth it to me also took me hours because I was way in over my head against pretty much every enemy. So grind up power levels either by completing quests, exploring, fighting or treasure hunting. It'll make it a hell of a lot easier for you to explore the map early on. That's about the only things I can think of just now, but when I stumble upon something else I'll jot it down! Hopefully this helps someone out 🙂
  12. That's dark... I can't really see the game getting another delay as I've seen numerous posts online of crates in stores full of copies of the game. We're getting closer boys! The hype train is pulling into the station and I've got a first class ticket after preordering it in the playstation store on saturday 😂
  13. Well, I actually ended up picking it up yesterday after watching some videos on it. Only played about an hour so far and I spent most of it treasure hunting but I love it! Can't wait to have a proper session on it and explore more and actually progress the story 😂
  14. I'm at the point where I've given up and just get people giftcards if they don't have specific wishes 😅 Personally I'll be ordering the FG hoodie as an xmas gift to myself. Also pre-ordered Cyberpunk the other day for an early xmas present 😉
  15. Has anyone actually got this? I was considering picking it up but I'm conflicted due to previous titles 😅
  16. I wont make it tonight so one of the striker spots will be open
  17. These are dropping on DayZ standalone? I’m guessing they’ll drop on pc first, hopefully ps4 will get them as well!
  18. We almost have a full starting XI by now 😂
  19. There’s also races. With horses. Get the lads on for some horseraces on a friday 😂 There’s a bunch of shit to do, we’ve just been focusing on the stuff that makes money. You could technically also just freeroam and hunt/fish and explore rather than do missions. Honestly some of the most fun I’ve had has been when we’ve attacked other players transporting goods to make money 😂
  20. This can either be brilliant or just downright dreadful 😂 I’ll hope for the former but expect the latter.
  21. Sergio Ramos has now scored 100 goals for Real Madrid after last nights CL match, you can say what you want about his personality and rather rough playstyle but what a player he's been for them over the years....
