    Hello All

    Hi, was recommended to this site by "Plumbers Crack". I'm a 50 year young gamer, been gaming probably 40+ years. Main console now is PS5, sometimes on PC too. Still wasting time on Destiny 2. Anyone wanna shoot some aliens in the face, send me a DM/friend request

    I don't know if this will get any interest as most people are here for multiplayer gaming but thought I'd give it a try. I was thinking it might be a nice idea to try doing a game club similar to how a book club runs, we all vote on a relatively inexpensive single player story driven game to buy and play through over the course of a couple of months and then jump on chat one night a week or even discuss it in here and how we are getting on with it, what we are enjoying and not enjoying etc etc, talk about the writing, the story etc. Would that peak anyone's interest? With games such as Baldurs gate down the road where you can approach things so differently it could be good fun I thought. Anyway, yeah will see if there's any interest first 🙂

    I'm overall pretty happy with how things are, but I do agree with Luseth. Some areas are not being used as much. Maybe due to interest or general knowledge of existence. Maybe trim some fat, keep the majority of what we have tho. I think the "Your Picks" for cod maps and guns isn't really worthwhile. It was a good idea, but we can easily discuss such things in topics or vote on polls. I think that we could get shot of it. I do admire the work and effort of especially Lee, that he puts in here. If anyone has geniuene good ideas for things to add, I think we should look at what can we rid of first. But the current layout, features etc we have are really good. It's something that has improved on vastly over time.

  6. SIFU was my second favourite game from 2022, behind only God of War Ragnarok! I adored SIFU and it remains one of my proudest platinum trophies! Highly recommend people try it if you haven’t yet, now is the perfect time!!

  11. FA Cup Quarter Finals were pretty insane this weekend - Wolves 2-3 Coventry, Man City 2-0 Newcastle (yawn) Jammy Chelsea 4-2 Leicester and Man Utd 4-3 Liverpool. Really enjoyed watching all those games minus the City one which I comfortably ignored.

  20. A great idea Matt - we did try it briefly before but as always its about getting enough people behind the idea. Its likely it would work best if its maybe 1 game a month and as you say, something cheap or free to get involved in that we can all focus efforts on to have a good chinwag over it on here. We also did FG Film Club like this but I noticed doing it weekly was a hard slog (although would love to see that back too). Loving the ideas of FG scores. I've never found a way yet to record them in a smarter way but that doesn't stop us sticking them on posts like Phil has mentioned. I think if you can have a think of some certain games that could be potentials to maximise the amount of people that could get involved in this, lets then see if we can make it work for the upcoming month perhaps! Nice one Matt! @Luseth

  23. A nice idea, could be up for it depending on games chosen and time available. Maybe a part of the conversation could be to agree an FG review score for the game out of 10 or 100 whatever...and post it on the forum.

    I think it’s a great idea! I have always wanted to be involved in something like that but have either never found the right group or never found the time or organise it myself. I think we would have to work out some logistics etc but definitely put me down as interested. I would suggest one way to do would be to try and pick games that are on a subscription service (Gamepass, ps plus, EA play etc), that way the majority of people can play the game for free using the service they are already paying for, therefore not spending money just for this. I know not everyone will subscribe to these services and if not we can still try to find a cheap game on the service? One potential idea is recording a review/discussion video. It will be difficult to arrange but if we could find a time where everyone (or the majority) could spare an hour or so to join up on discord and record a conversation reviewing and discussing the game. To upload to a Forever Gaming YouTube channel? Just a thought.

    FG Feedback Time

    As a newer member to the site, I would say the main thing I notice is that there seems to be a lot of underused features. I wonder if there could be an easier way to keep up to date with what’s going on in the community without having to go through all the different tabs and forums? Could we have a ‘features’ or ‘what’s on’ page, which highlights the main events going on. The page could show the next and upcoming FG events, a hot topic from the forums, latest videos being uploaded, new quiz posted etc etc. It wouldn’t even have to be the most recent posts and not everything posted needs to be featured, but if there is a forum post that you or any moderators here think is worthy of being ‘front page news’. Essentially a place that just makes it easier for members to see what is going on. I often forget to look at the events tab and don’t even know until this post that there was a quiz tab!! I quite like @Luseth idea of having certain members being responsible for certain areas too.

    I somewhat agree with @Luseth, less is more sometimes. Which is probably why the WhatsApp and Discord chats do so well. Easy to use and takes no effort whatsoever. The forum is a good example of this on the website. I think unless it benefits people they’re not going to use it, a good example of this is the events… it takes so much effort to get people to click one button because it does nothing for them. I, as most others probably do, use FG as an archive and large discussions space. If you want to create more movement it needs to be a tool to either create discussion (competing with WhatsApp) or create/share content like videos or games/quizzes/competitions.

  29. Whilst some may not think its as challenging as the super hard games we expect, Hogwarts Legacy has one of the most satisfying gameplay controls to play with in an RPG. I've managed to find this small clip online that shows a small part into the spells and combos, including how you can flip to flying so easily mid-battle. There's so many combo spells to choose from, it really is a whole lot of fun. Smooth is the perfect word for it. No wonder it was the biggest selling game of 2023.

  31. Episode 87 is LIVE!! We talk about Pacific Drive, Geometry Survivor, and some card/board games Adrian has been playing this week. Regarding the Spotify episodes, the rest should be uploaded but I have no ETA as to when. We've all got some things outside the podcast going on right now, but I'll keep you all informed. Thanks for watching/listening!

    @Riff Machine I have been listening to these on and off via spotify depending on what topic I am fancying. I have only just realised that there are none on there from about May last year, is this intentional? I.e. if I want to listen to any later ones it needs to be via youtube?

  34. First weekend with Helldivers 2, played probably 2 and a half hours total and had a fun time! No login issues whatsoever! Didn’t get the chance to play with any FG members, saw some of you online but your lobbies were full! Played with random people and even that was a good time! Looking forward to playing more later in the week 👍🏻

  35. I used to play Age Of Mythology online years ago. Back originally in 2004, but I played it on and off for years. Absolutely fantastic game. Because of the mythological side and the god powers, there are so many cool strategies available. I was pretty good at it in the early 2000's. Managed to reach the top 20 of the world leaderboards a few times. Was rank 4 at one point in 1v1.

  38. Helldivers 2 purchased and downloading 👍🏻 Hopefully I’ll be able to join one of your sessions tonight or Saturday, I typically play quite late (22.30ish UK time) and have to be relatively quiet as my girlfriend and daughter are sleeping, but looking forward to playing with some FG members for the first time!

  39. I've been going back through all the old FromSoft games I missed out on before Elden Ring. I started with DS3 and now I'm doing DS1. Love them both! But, coming back to Elden Ring, it feels so different! I need to brush up on my Elden Ring skills for sure before this comes out. I guess I've got time.

  40. Arrowhead games has said several times now it’s not about server size. If it was that it would be an easy fix. It’s something in the code. That’s coming from the developer.

    So far, my biggest issue with this is trying to get online, and the servers are full. 2 nights in a row for me in the EST timezone. I hope they increase their server size soon.

  43. The whole weekend of football was a delight to watch, maybe with the exception of the Man City game. Incredible cup ties, and what the FA Cup is supposed to be all about. For any neutral watching football for the first time, that was pinnacle football drama at its best. Fair play to all the ones that got through too. Every winner felt like they did enough in my eyes to win their cup ties.

  47. Dishonored is another one that is commonly overlooked probably because most people play in low chaos or just don't make the most of the powers on offer. I certainly am nowhere near good or creative enough to pull off half the stuff in this video but it just goes to show what can be done if you go beneath the surface and really utilise everything on offer.

  49. Echoing this Lee, it's an absurd idea to expect servers to be capable of millions of players, even if you look at Counter Strike on PC which has a sizeable following it doesn't hit 1 million players. Considering the first helldivers was nowhere near as popular it's hard to predict this would have gone down as well as it has. Sony could easily spend a fortune now ramping up servers similar to Palworld but is that practical? The numbers will drop fairly quickly with quite a few online games coming out over the next month or so.

  50. You should use it mate. Its really so easy as we've used the FG Game Room discord chat within seconds onto the PS5 and its just as, if not clearer than PS5 party chats. I'm here atm. I'm just trying to work out if I can do that because I have a feeling it will drop a little soon too. If Helldivers and Sony can't sort the max capacity servers out in the short term then this could push me into this sooner.
