I think you analysis is flawed. If you want to play on Xbox and you want to MP games it's going to cost you $9.99 (game pass essential). So the cost for Game pass ultimate is really and extra $13. Now ultimate gives you cloud gaming on top of stuff, is it worth it to people. Don't know but I have been able to play some of the games on Cloud without have an Xbox X or having a bunch of games on my HD. So the value is not just the games. The two bottom tiers on playstation are same price. the top one is cheaper at $18. So if you want to MP game on console that's the price you got to pay or you go PC

Thank you Phil, I would feel cheeky asking for Tempest as well after Tensei. I said in my reply that I will take my Rog on holiday now and when the kids are asleep, downtime of an evening I will boot up Tensei so thank you very much!

Crysis 3 (and 2 for that matter) are on another level, compared to the first one... at least as far as I'm concerned, so I might give the remaster a go. Tempest Rising is kind of a modern Red Alert but no, not personally tried it and probably won't, so still available. I'll send you the Steam code for Shin Megami Tensei V via WhatsApp, as FG messaging seems to be broken (FYI @GazzaGarratt) and won't let me enter any text ?!

I enjoyed Diablo 4 but I think we got drawn away to something else at the time. Those sorts of games are good in that you don't have to think too much just go around and bash things in and pick up stuff. Shin Megami Tensei V is something I have wanted for a while, it's like a more mature pokemon type game and honestly I tried the first Crysis game (Remastered) and I think it felt clunky and since then I have not played any of them. It does seem a decent month though. @phil bottle have you played Tempest Rising, is it any good? Reminds me a bit of the command and conquer games?

Yeah I used the Moguri Mod (I think that's what it's called) which uses some really impressive upscaling techniques. Total game-changer really and made the experience look exceptional!

Is this modded on pc? I keep meaning to take a look at the visual mods and see if I can set them up on my Ally. These look great.

Resident Evil Requiem

Return to Moria is a lot of fun, but I think it could be better with either patches or mods.

Ironically it's what we have found with the crew in recent days. Can see this being a natural progression. If the price drops on the current Forza on PS I might pick it up.

I'll probably grab this in the far future when it's £25. It's basically the same game once again but with a different backdrop. FH4 was where the series peaked but now it's a bit stagnant.

Just saw that it's £790 for a PS5 Pro from Argos. Absolutely disgusting really. I could probably sell my old PS5 standard for more than I paid for it back in 2021. This is also the end of the generation and the prices are still going up. Doesn't make sense. These machines shouldn't cost more than £350 for what's under the hood and how powerful they are.

Smart move from Microsoft to fool consumers once more. Even though the pass is $7 cheaper now, it's still $7 more expensive than it was several months prior. Removing Call of Duty will see them getting paid massively at retail once again, so any freeloaders who choose not to renew the pass even at the cheaper rate, Microsoft will still rake the money in from unit sales of the game which will comfortably exceed any lost revenue at the original pass increase rate. Arguably $23 a month without a flagship title like Call of Duty is an outrageous rip-off in itself. The only consolation is that the games on the pass, particularly the indie games may actually get to make a better share of income without COD absorbing it all. Some indie titles were probably lucky to walk away with 30 cents an install on products that would cost £20 at retail.

Once or twice a year the offering is dire and I don't get it but otherwise I pick it up every month. DIABLO 4 and the Crysis 3 remaster may tempt me again this month. From recent months I have a few keys spare, so if anyone fancies any of the following, they're yours: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria Zero Hour Tempest Rising Chants of Sennaar

The May lineup looks interesting. I am not 100% sure on Diablo 4 though. Anything stand out this month in that bundle to make it worth getting?

I'm off to Crete for a week tomoz, will hop on when I get back.

there needs to be more padding on the walls for him

If you played with us on the server, we could have just told you this in chat. @Tar-Eruntalion and I even built you a room in the big house. Just saying.... 🙂

Join the Forever Gaming Discord Server! DISCORD.GG Check out the Forever Gaming community on Discord - hang out with 130 other members and... And building where you are building is fine

hey real fast, two things A) whats the discord? B) if I am building to close to yall, let me know and I can move.

I hate these damned birds on yalls island...

I would also again highly recommend wveryone to buy the keelhold hull in tortuga, I forget from which faction vendor, but it’s OP as hell as it allows you to keep repairing even if you keep getting hit

What a fuckin dumbass. I've spent the last few nights sucking at ship battles, and wondering why I couldn't upgrade anything on my Shipwright's workbench. Turns out you have to remove the stuff from the ship and then upgrade it at the workbench. Yanno those warnings on shampoo bottles? Yeah, me. All me.

Cheers Seb!

For the ship combat, you get more stuff from boarding, I’d say it’s mostly worth boarding the haulers/transports, there is a counter in the top right of your screen during the boarding process which tells you how many enemies you/your crew has to kill. Upgrading your boarding crew helps with this a lot. I also agree the xp gain is slow, I do wish you would get it from combat, farming and building as well but I can see how they have intentionally slowed it down to match your exploration which makes sense, it’s just annoying 😂

Two things worth mentioning. There are very limited ways of earning XP, basically quests and POIs / camps. On the map page, at the bottom right you can see how many POIs you've completed on each biome so you can max them out and get all that sweet sweet xp. The other one, and this is a big one, is to always have some building mats on you. Boars don't seem to break through walls, so when facing multiple, you can box some of them in and face one at a time. This trivialized a fight I had to do many times over. Question - ship combat - do you always sink the other vessels, or also board them and wreck them? I've only tried boarding two vessels. One from my tiny little dinkyboat, and the other was the first ship for the quest. On both occasions I was fighting a seemingly endless supply of dudes and eventually gave up. Is there a trick to this or just keep killing them until they stop?
