Bungie are having a sale right now and in which you can get 3 expansions plus other content for around £7. I thought I'd revisit the game after an almost 5 year absence and it's a bit overwhelming , but I think I am slowly finding my feet. There are lots of new things and quite a few old elements that I have forgotten about. I seem to be going through the New Light campaign for returning and new players which is a bit of a recap of sorts. Once that is out of the way I can have a look at the expansions I didn't stick around for. This game is definitely a convoluted mess for returning players, let alone newcomers, and I think Bungie have made a lot of things rather shambolic and bloated. Much of it is a result of sustained development even with the vaulted content, but others are through efforts to drive income particularly when they went solo away from Activision and it looks quite messy. The content included in the Legacy Collection (2025) are:- The Final Shape Standard Edition Lightfall Standard Edition The Witch Queen Standard Edition Beyond Light Pack Shadowkeep Pack Forsaken Pack 30th Anniversary Pack Pit of Heresy Dungeon Shattered Throne Dungeon Grasp of Avarice Dungeon I'm definitely going to look forward to working my way through this content and it may even lead me to purchase some of the newer expansions. I hope this bundle will get more people back to the game but it may be a little late in the day for many and I must say Destiny 2 is one of the least welcoming games for new players and even past veterans because of its approach and execution despite simple and enjoyable gameplay mechanics.

Now on PS5 too. Which has seen the studio censor parts of the game to satisfy Sony etc

Sadly not - I kept a lot of the world saves as we changed the server packs. I’ve had a look but I can’t find one for this pack which means the world is lost to the digital trash pile 😞 Is that Direwolfs building gadgets? I think that would fit in most packs given it just helps with building. FTB Utilities, is this the one that adds teams, chunk loading etc?

I see it's been a while since this was posted, but I'm curious if anyone’s tested out other mod setups around that outpost idea. Been messing with Building Gadgets and FTB Utilities lately, wondering how they could fit into something like this. Does anyone have updated screenshots or a tour of the area now? Would love to see how it’s evolved since the last update.

My last event came about 700th out of over 6300 also got 86th for my age category plus a PB of 44.57. Only 2 events left both in September.

Microsoft use flawed AI image to advertise new jobs🤣

The turnover of staff whilst this idea had lots of momentum hasn't helped and its lost its way. Game didn't have much identity, or wow factor. They can save Bungie by doing a U-turn and really redefining the Destiny roadmap. It still is a huge moneymaker and doesn't take much to bring people into the game. Marathon won't be for many casuals and that kills it immediately.

Whilst we're missing you online mate, at least you're keeping yourself healthy and fit! Pretty good going too, finishing in top 20% is class.

You both need to be in FG club so when the rest of us play, it will collate all of our wins, goals, etc together. I think theres loads more they could do to improve it, like Tournament wins, etc but not sure they'll do that anytime soon after such a big update.

The medals are very hard to collect if you’re a casual gamer/don’t have a large Club. My brother and I have been playing a lot lately and are still yet to get any. We did however win a 2s tournament which I thought would give us something towards the club but it did not.

It's basically a Chinese Battlefield 2024 with an old trademark they purchased. I never bothered with it in the end but it's getting a lot of players. I imagine it's a lot from China and the majority are probably cheating🤣

I've never played Project Zero 🙄. Maybe I'll try on an emulator or I just saw that there are some episodes on Steam, I just wishlisted them.

There have been a few GTA spin offs, I never played it but there was also China Town wars on the DS wasn't there?

You can see it all on google how it play's but it feels old school GTA, more top down rather than modern GTA, the driving is a bit off but everything else is quite good fun.

That might be the one

@Luseth and I were talking about this tonight whilst Matt was playing it. Now its out and its only £30, seems abit of a steal...I've always wanted to be the good guy instead in these games! 🤣

It reminds me a lot of Battlefield, I had a go of it on the PC playtest.

Mafia 2 is actually a really good shout. Driving around, listening to the radio, and just soaking up the atmosphere is my favourite part of the Mafia series...and 2 does it best imo

Love it. One on the watch list for me soon then. I'd mainly be buying it for the PvE operations but I'm sure taking a look at PvP is worth a few tries at the very least.

@Sennex I appreciate Gran Turismo 7 isn't really an open world racing game - however, it can be quite therapeutic to drive around a few different tracks just in time trial mode (so essentially free play) and mastering the turns, braking points, etc. Elsewhere, you could arguably try Mafia 2? As plenty of time to do open world stuff. Just stick the limiter on and play in easy mode and cops aren't a concern.

Rocket League have overhauled their club feature for the first time since launch and its well overdue I reckon. Some nice, cool additions to the area, including badges to obtain as a club now - all obtained just by playing in your club name with teammates. A brand new stadium with new arena announcements was a nice surprise and well received. Key Club Updates: Club Career Stats will keep track of Club statistics earned over the course of the Club’s lifetime. Club Seasonal milestones will be tracked in the form of Club Medals, a new concept in Rocket League. Clubs accumulate Medals by making progress in three main categories: Goals, Saves, and Assists. Each one of these categories includes three Medal milestones in order of accomplishment: Prospect, Signature, and Premier. Reaching a milestone rewards a Club the associated Medal. This Medal is displayed in the Club profile, viewable in the Club menu and within Club matches (against any opponent, not just other Clubs). Medals will be shown publicly in the intro sequence of matches where all members of at least one team are in the same Club (these are called “Club matches”). If a Club receives the highest-tier Medal (Premier Medal) in all three stat categories, their Club profile icon will have a special look visible in intro sequences and the Club menu. While public Medals help Clubs show off their progress and prestige, they might deter Clubs who enjoy playing more non-competitively. Club Owners and Managers will be able to toggle public Medals on or off within the Club Customization menu, to prevent their Medals from being shown in Club match intro sequences. By default, Club Medals will be shown in the Club match intro sequence. Club Medals will always be viewable in the Club menu, regardless of toggle status. General Club Stats and Milestone Rules: Club milestones will reset every Season. This gives Clubs opportunities to improve Season over Season, as well as earn new Club Titles every Season. Once a Club earns a Medal, Club members will receive a notification that the Medal has been earned. The Medal will immediately be shown on the Club profile. Additionally, members will receive a notification when the Club earns a Club Title. Stats towards Medal milestones are only recorded during matches with more than one player on each team, including Club matches. There are three earnable Club Titles based on Club Medal progression. New Titles are available per Season, and linked to the tier of the Medal (Prospect, Signature, Premier). Link to full Patch Notes: Just a moment... WWW.ROCKETLEAGUE.COM What do you think? Personally, it feels a good Quality of Life update to prompt you to play more games with friends. Resets every season, so depends on how hard these medals are to collect.

Yeah...reminds of how clunky Project Zero came out as a release game on the 360 I believe and the horrible controls ruined it.
