In terms of turning the MCU round it was never going to do that / nor should it have been that kind of film. Im glad it was self contained and not bogged down by all the MCU crap. that being said I hope Disney take the right lessons from how well this film will do and take those lessons into their future projects

Drinkers review is bang on (it’s spoiler free If you’re on the fence)

This sounds really interesting. Wondered if anyone hears any of this in the early days of trying out 1.0? I know they are looking to release a Story Mode by the of 2025 which may even introduce bosses, you never know! Really simple but I love this. They've needed an upgrade for years! @Plumbers Crack enters the conversation...😎 FG picnic day out to the Deadzone all? 😄

All I wanted was Ryan Reynolds and Hugh jackman sharing a screen with 10/10 chemistry. It achieves that in bucket loads so I’m happy. The plot isn’t great but it didn’t need to be. Some insanely fun cameos also If you loved the fox marvel movies youll love it, mega fan service for them, if you didnt not so sure

Current build looks like a PS3 game in places

I'm suprised you're not famous now you've been in so many games...in that building. Add it to your CV under Greatest Achievements.

Correct. Also, I worked in that building.

So this essentially a modded version of the game people have made from the Fallout 4 core game?

For anyone who doesn't have Fallout 4, it's on sale on GOG for 12 quid I think.

Installed it last night, looking forward to exploring London 🥰

Had a couple of hours last night, died a few times and got evicted by Americans. The game looks a million times better, but my poor little GPU feels it. Might hafta turn the quality down a bit. booo. It feels much more in depth and grown up, and I'm looking forward to getting pissed tonight and getting stuck in again.

This isn't all of it, I cut a lot of the guff off the bottom because nobody cares how many pixels a toilet is made of or how high your eyelids can go, so here's the relevant stuff. I've no idea how to fix the background so meh. The full patch notes can be found here.

They are small X’s on the country roads and are near wilderness POI’s within 1km of a trader. New Points of Interest In order to complement our updated RWG system, our Level Design team has added a ton of new content with over 75 new POIs that will be coming to Version 1.0. Notable additions, improvements and efforts include: A high focus on new remnants enhancing performance and providing more diverse environments to explore with lighter zombie counts. A majority of the remnants were created for the downtown district which was low on these types. These efforts have helped significantly with performance. New high-tier locations have been introduced for players to explore and conquer. Haven Hotel (Tier 5) 7 Days Suites (Tier 5) Navezgane Athletics Complex (Tier 5) Grover High (Tier 5) Minotaur Theater (Tier 5) 6 – New Tier 4’s A new zombie spawning throttling triggering system has been added to the level editor and the level designers have made use of it to keep the higher count POIS challenging but running better.

Here are some of the more notable improvements: Traders give less dukes and have nerfed rewards that no longer break progression. Trader inventories offer sales staged items for sale that are more appropriate for your character’s level. The game is a little more crafting oriented than in the past, and legendary items are now craftable. The end result is the game feels much more balanced and even in a coop team players will find themselves still engaged on day 70, single players even further. Crafting Quality 6 crafting is back Tools/Weapons/Armor Requires new Legendary Parts Traders/Biome order Rekt – Forest Jen – Burnt Bob – Desert Hugh – Snow Joel – Wasteland Quests Quest Progression has been improved so you get higher Tier Quests offered with each trader and can roll back to lower tiers if you want to Armor Quality determines perk level Basic Example – Q1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50% Legendary Crafting We have added new Legendary Parts which can be acquired in high end loot chests, and higher Trader rewards With these player can craft Legendary Q6 weapons, tools, and armor Dew Collector Overhaul The Dew Collector has been reworked.

These features provide more interactive and engaging content for both players and their audiences. New World Borders The game now features layered world borders, replacing the old radiation zones. The very outer layer is a no-go zone, preventing players from walking off the map. Just inside this is a no-build zone, ensuring players cannot build too close to the edge. As players approach the border, the area fogs up, providing a clear visual cue. This system allows more Points of Interest (POIs) to spawn near the map’s edges, increasing the playable area while communicating to the player you can’t go that way. New Upgradeable Player Chests Introducing player writeable storage boxes! Start with a basic wooden box, which can be upgraded to iron, and eventually to steel.

Fuck yeah I'm gonna be all over that like a rash.

Hi friends, The new FG server is up and running as of now! I posted the PW; if someone takes the time and effort to find this post, find us on the server and grief us: 1. I'll be impressed, 2. we will kill them, 3. I'll just change the PW 🙂. 149.102.133.85:26910 PW: GGFGPC Cheers!!!

I really enjoyed that last night, was fortunate to get to see it a day early with a very good friend 😄 I’m a bit skeptical about Marvel films at the moment but enjoyed every second of it. It was like an Eminem song, it’ll take me about 20 watches to catch everything. The one thing I will say is that the stunt team on that film were incredible!

Out today finally! Can't be picked up free on GOG Fallout: London on GOG.com WWW.GOG.COM

Sorry @GazzaGarratt, but if BOB can't get more than 80%, the quiz is fucking broken.

Anyone thinking that one single film is going to turn an entire universe around is an idiot. It certainly has little pokes, but that's about it. Also, I'm old enough now dad, you don't need to sneak me in.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 70/100 My Time 86 seconds  

I'm up for this, it's been a while since killed some zeds. @Chocolateboy Do you want to join from the beginning this time?

I think its had some bad reviews, mainly from a view that it may not turn the Marvel Cinematic Universe around, but they shouldn't be reviewing in the light of the bigger universe. More if the film is good on its own merits. Sounds like an easy fun watch guys. I'll have to see if I can sneak the lad in to watch it! 😅

I am giving that as an example - where users can pay up to $200 on the likes of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and not get a good return in titles for that value. The Pass has also been stale for about 8 months now and its growth has stalled once again. After a strong summer line up of games, they then put the price up with no real justification. Users are also being pushed into higher tier passes on all platforms as the likes of Microsoft deliberately make the the lower-end is so unattractive, it's hardly worth considering these days. Any fringe titles I am remotely interested in, I'd rather buy in the sale - at least the developers will get paid a proper cut rather than an install fee. Also having to pay to play online using external content services is absolutely insane in itself. £60 for a basic PSN is ridiculous. All platforms on PC are free to play online and that's how it should be for console. I actually think it's the other way around. If I were a developer who worked on a game for 3 years and found out that the publisher wanted it on a pass dwarfed by AAA games and a diminished install cut of the revenue, I'd feel really demoralised especially as the games 'success' could not be measured. The game could sell 1m copies at £10 a pop but instead the publisher accepted 75p an install rate and only 100,000 people played the game. Old established games don't really matter as it's just a tiny extra bit of revenue but when new in-house games go on and they bomb, then it's fatal and Microsoft already butchered 4 studios last year who's games were successful enough. Ones that don't perform in the future will just get culled especially if they are turning the Pass more premium with AAA games and slashing revenue potential for fringe titles. Developers who's games go onto such passes certainly aren't sitting comfortably and many wont have a chance to make another game after that if their already income-squeezed product doesn't get monumental traction.

All I can say is wow! Went with my mate last night, did a double feature and watched Twisters first, which btw is a solid movie, a great tribute to the original. Now onto Deadpool & Wolverine, I honestly don't think ive smiled so much in a cinema theatre in so long, one of the funniest films I've seen. Ryan Reynolds throws so many one liners out there, his performance as deadpool in this film is probably his best one to date, Hugh Jackman balances the film out with a more serious role sprinkled with the odd funny moment. I won't give anything away but there are so many fucking cameos, some of which will have you buzzing. The storyline isn't Oscar worthy but it's great for the film itself, for me....it was the perfect Deadpool film and ill deffo see it again, 9.5/10 for me!
