Yeah i can't see myself going back. If they ever do a Fallout 3, New Vegas remaster, or Elder Scrolls 6 (won't hold my breath) I'll just buy the games themselves.

Ah, I did wonder how you could play DayZ on console lpl Nice one, I like laptops just afraid of the heat 🫠 I've picked this up now as i have no chill, so I'll be joining too 👊

Thank you! Actually been playing pc for a few years now but still mainly on the ps5, but bought a pretty decent Asus Rog Strix laptop which set me back a good 2000£ or so. Seems to run anything I want fairly smoothly so far. Hope to see you on the big blue sea soon dude!

I love how @TurboR56Mini went straight from "I'm downloading the demo" to "we have a server" lol. I'm downloading it now, be good to fuck about with you cunts again 😄

I suspect ill pick this up at the end of the month. Does anyone know if they fixed the issue with save files? @ChaosGladiator Didn't know you were on PC now, welcome to the brave new world 🫠

Couple tips for anyone starting this or considering starting this. Never stop grinding for resources. Early game it’s not too bad but you do get a taste for how much you will actually need when you build your first ship, mid to late game it gets very, very resource heavy. Always pick up food and potion ingredients. Better food means better bonuses, but needs more ingredients to make so grab it when you see it! Potions ingredients will also be very important as fights will only get harder and you’ll need to heal more often if you can’t master the dodging and parrying. Upgrade your gear and your ships gear. I kept losing fights and sea battles over and over and over, upgrading my gear as high as I could for how far I had progressed definetly helped out a ton. Specially for sea battles against multiple ships. Once I upgraded the hull, cannons and my boarding crew it was like going from playing hardcore instadeath mode to playing the game normally so keep an eye on it! Before you start exchanging your insignias and letters of favour for reputation with the different factions, make sure you check the different provisioners!! They will all offer different schematics for upgrades, building and so on and early on silver will not be easy to get until you find the different factions own holdouts where they actually buy things off you. So don’t waste your silver early, look at the different provisioners, see what they offer at what reputation level and then decide wich factions to turn your insignias into. (Also note that upon switching game sessions the reputation does not carry over, but you can go back to the session where you have said reputation, buy what you need and then switch back and have what you bought still available.)

It might have went better for them if the game was anygood. I got the game pass, tried cod for a month/maybe two. it was garbage so I cancelled the game pass. You can get a lot of the same games on steam cheaper than the cost of game pass so it makes not sense.

Yup, someone there thought that COD was the best game in the world and everyone wants to play it so from their perspective it made sense. Ultimately they were expecting everyone on the subscription to pay for the game that probably half of the people subbing wanted essentially subsidising those people. Absolute madness, in fact the initial outcry should really have been the wake up call they needed, instead they have persisted for a few months now and they won't suddenly get those subscribers back now. Many of them will feel a little burnt and will be hesitant about committing to the service again. I had the subscription for my handheld and ended up cancelling it and unlikely will pick it up again soon now unless some special games come to the service.

Microsoft Cuts Price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate WWW.IGN.COM Microsoft has dropped the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from $29.99 per month to $22.99 per month, while PC Game Pass is being reduced from $16.49 per month to $13.99 per month. Both changes... They added COD to Game Pass with BO6 but then had to increase the price to cover lost sales. Seems that they then lost subscribers due to the ridiculous price increase. So now they're lowering the cost and removing COD. What a complete fuck up by everybody involved 🤣

It’s a mix of utmost frustration and fun for me, still get well pissed off every time I die to something silly, but I keep coming back anyways 😂 The fact that questprogression carries over between sessions is nice, same with your gear and whatever you have on you or in your ship transfers between them too. I do wish the progress you’ve made with the different factions also carried over as that can be quite a grind to level up, but can always go back to your own world and get what you need from them and then join a buddy’s game and you’ll have it there too. Also the fact that to get a crafting recipe for armor or weapons, if someone else has the item you can borrow it for 2 seconds and you’ll unlock it as a craftable is nice, on that note, if anyone gets the rapier of a thousand cuts, let me know. I need that little bastard 😂 And if anyone needs pieces from the filibuster (I have almost the full set), conquistador or privateer let me know. Think I have some odd pieces of others too as well as the cutlass and two different clubs that I can’t remember the name of

I might have a look, certainly looks good.

I have an FG server if anyone wants in. The game is fun for sure!! They have hit over 200k concurrent at this point and over a million sold.

New trailer. Still calling it Tarkov in space but that's partly because Nikita, the lead dev, is working on this.

I found the PS5 Pro on sale on EE's website (of all places lol) the day before prices all went up. Couldn't resist picking it up as I've one eye on the forthcoming GTA 6 and I hear Pro is the way to go. Got the disk drive for it too.

Looks to be doing very well right now, getting decent reviews considering it's early access

New trailer released along with the early access release. There’s also talks of them testing out the possibility of upping the co-op player limit from 4 to 8 people which would be great.

I've just decided not to renew my PS subscription as I don't play that much anymore. I've snagged some old "not good enough for Windows 11" PCs from where I work part time and I'm now running a Minecraft server for me and my 6 year old grandson . It's great but there are times when I feel like changing my name from "Grandad?" 😂😂😂 The PC he's using is the one you guys got me in 2019 (that day was epic!) so that's been repurposed as well, just needed a wifi card 😊

Official release is tomorrow!! Holy shit this flew right under my radar. I’ve even checked the page several times to see if they have put up a date and out of nowhere a youtube video with the title "Windrose is finally here" caught my eye and I instantly went to check their steam page. Fuuuuck yes

When this comes to PS5, I'll purchase it but not doing any gamepass malarkey for it. Looks decent and I agree that a chill open world area to chill and find stuff at your leisure is a good, different way to essentially create the opening menu UI.

Yeah gamepass has become too expensive - I’m not paying £23 a month for it. Especially when I’m only interested in FH6 and you can get a PC key for £40. It’s coming to PS5 at the end of the year apparently. So maybe a bit more FG interest then - though I didn’t realise that when I bought my PC key else I might have waited - oops 😅

FH5 was ok but I agree, preferred FH4. I also only played 5 on gamepass whereas I bought 4 and have it both on PC and Xbox. Since the ridiculous price hike for gamepass my Xbox has become kind of redundant but FH6 may be a purchase at some point, the reviews have all been very positive.

After a shaky start it's doing quite well for itself. I didn't know there were mods already!

Pretty much, yeah. Did you ever play the open world NFS games? As it's basically like that. Or GTA if you can't get out of your car. An open world you can cruise around, find stuff, easter eggs, collectibles or things like speed cameras to try and go the fastest through or drift zone challenges to score the most points on a section of road etc. Though to progress the story you need to do actual races but, like NFS or GTA, you need to go to the place on the map to start them. The world is multiplayer too so you'll find other people driving around or you can set up convoys to cruise around with or take photos.

So can you just drive around in these and explore? I would love to have a chill driving game where I can just sit back and enjoy the view.

I'm surprised there isn't a thread on this yet given it's out in a a little over a month. There's some pretty good reviews coming out in the early previews highlighting the world variance and it feels more alive than previous titles. Slightly improved physics and tweaks to game modes with the inclusion of time trial that you can do on circuits that are accessible in free roam. I played FH4 a lot but didn't get on well with FH5 so much - playing it for a week or 2 when it was on game pass. I've decided to buy this one though so hopefully it's good 😄
