  1. Stupid name for a game if you ask me, but looks interesting enough. Hope it comes into GamePass otherwise I'll be waiting for a sale.

    Dragons Dogma 2

    Another promising game that's had a miserable launch which will sour it permanently. This time a disgusting amount of microtransactions along with aggressive Denuvo implementation and performance issues. Literally charging $2 just to edit your character! Never got the original despite it's cult success but it just defies belief how companies literally ruin their new game for the sake of greed. It's not like Capcom need the money either and it's a full price bloody game too!

  4. So I finally watched the beekeeper, now it's a Statham film so you know what your getting but for me that's fine as I like his stuff and it's pure brain out entertainment. I also watched, back to back the new road house and the original. Now for me it's the original hands down but I have to say the remake wasn't as bad as I expected if you can get past Jake Gyllenhal fighting Connor McGregor 🤔 however not sure we should see McGregor acting again either 😉. However not a waste of 2 hours.

  12. Plenty of companies still release games on PC for around £35 and without microtransactions. If people want to pay to win in single player games that's up to them, sad but I don't care to be honest. Pay to win in multiplayer is obviously a massive no no. Paying for skins, again, I don't care. And gating or deliberately removing game features simply to make money is shitty imo it wasn't always like this, so it kind of tarnishes gaming for me personally.

  13. Quite looking forward to seeing where we go with this ^_^ I didn't think we would end up in the position we are at the end of the last one but could make for some interesting scenarios with Cal returning as well! @GazzaGarratt also need's to get his name down, he's had enough notice.

  15. I was so close to buying this yesterday, but mam, between the micro-transaction bullshit, and the insane price they're asking for it, I just can't. I think I'll wait for a sale or game pass release at this point. Thankfully, I've been hearing some good things about it gameplay-wise.

    Apparently if you try and start a new game with a new character after deleting your local save file then Denuvo will ban you for system tampering lmao! What an absolute shit show.

    GT 7

    Of the 494 cars available in this game, i currently have 491 🤗 One car, a Porsche, is locked behind an invitation, so that's in the lap of the rng gods 🙈 The other two, a Ferrari and a McLaren, I'm waiting to reappear in Hagerty's Legend Cars. The Mc was there last week but very annoyingly it had sold out by the time I'd raised the 20 million required, so will have to wait for it to rotate around again...

  19. More drama about the England shirts and this time with the flag on the collar. Really not sure why we need an American company to not only produce, but also design our shirts. Surely there is a UK sports manufacturer that could do this? Umbro are surely still in the game. Nike should stick to basketball and selling 40000% marked-up clothing and footwear.

  20. Yeah, still one of those companies that pays poverty wages to people in Cambodia and Vietnam. Nike are scum. Like all these corporations they like to pull the wool over people's eyes with all the bullshit they sponsor. And it works lol

  21. Horrible shirt ruined by the overly-big collar plus the price is £100-125 apparently which is beyond disgusting. Probably cost £3 to make in a Nike sweatshop. These shirts should be £40-50 max.

  24. Losing out in the play offs, at home, to penalties, must be a massive kick in the teeth. As for England, all the Kane haters have learned a few things about England without him in the team. And not sure I like the over reliance on the brilliance of Bellingham. However, the Euros are there for the taking...

    6 months on and still nothing. Seems people on social media have given Rubin and co a long overdue poke but this is just getting silly now. Generic promises and just a load of 'soon' and 'we hope' lines.

  34. That's exactly the problem with the industry - they are more concerned about money than delivering a piece of content they can be proud of. Publishers have them over a barrel - why produce expansive DLC when you can sell a skin that makes one hundred times as much. Precisely why microtransactions have ruined ethics and standards in games - sure they seem an innocent addition but actually they have a devastating wider effect overall. Thankfully there are still a few developers and publishers out there who take pride in their products rather than using them as annual cash cows to keep the money men happy.

  35. I think the theme is it depends on what the MTX is. Or maybe it should be the total cost of one skin and have a cap on what one should cost. I don't agree how nice looking skins get marketed to young kids in Fortnite at the costs they are. No wonder why parents spend so much on that game as they should be just 1-2 quid given what they do in game is nothing.

  37. I've asked Lee to spend £10 on a Tarkov expansion just so he is allowed to play offline coop with me. You have no idea how shitty that makes me feel. That kind of shabbiness and anti consumer exploitation is a fucking disgrace and should not be part of our hobby.

  38. There’s a clip online from a former Blizzard developer, I can’t remember what game he was referencing but it was something along the lines of them spending months and months of time, and millions and millions of dollars developing a substantial piece of DLC content (similar to the likes of the upcoming Elden Ring DLC), but when they released it, it made significantly less money than a single simple cosmetic microstransatcion did on World of Warcraft. I’ll try and find the full quote for you as I haven’t summarised it well, but essentially developers move towards microtransactions as they are time and cost efficient, and can often result in significantly more income than a substantial piece of content. My personal view, they don’t bother me as I know I won’t buy them unless I really love the game and want to spend money on that game and developer (I buy the occasional Marvel themed skin on Fortnite). Do they have a place in single player games? Personally I think it’s a bit greedy but at the same time the developers want/need to make a bit more cash, and I know I’m not going to buy them so it doesn’t bother me. My issue comes when they go further than simple cosmetic items, if it’s something that significantly impacts the way the game is played or is pay 2 win on the multiplayer side. I haven’t played Dragons Dogma 2 but if they are charging people to create a new character, then that crosses a line for me. Keep them as fun, cosmetic and non essential items then people can buy them if they want to have them, or can ignore them and carry on playing the game without it affecting them.

  39. I don't mind them much really - you don't have to buy them. I think sometimes gamers aren't able to take a step back and put themselves into the developer/programmer company side of things, just to help give some balance. No doubt about it, its income for a company, but i'd suggest thinking about what its used for. If I had made a great game and there was an outcry to add certain cosmetics or even extra enemies then I'd have to think how do I pay for the devs to make it. Thats just common sense. There is a reason we're seeing not many AAA games being made now and its purely down to cost. People can say 'it wasn't like that back in the day', but we have to be mindful that gamers expectations change and shift over time. Demand for the best graphics, the biggest games, the largest content drops, etc...its relentless and I don't envy any company that makes games these days. Social Media and the way we gorge content is just something that can't be matched in terms of delivery of content in games. I may be widening the discussion but I hope you can understand why I try to take in both sides of the story before thinking immediately from the gamer side that 'they're just crap'. However, you still need morally correct businesses to choose the right reasons to implement MTXs. That's my initial 2p anyway.

    Honestly, if the Ferrari I now need to Platinum this game sells out before I logon, I will be screwing so badly. I've just found a website where they'll send you an email once the car is available in the Legend shop. It updates daily so can't see it selling out by the time i get the email. Might wanna have a look mate. Legend Cars - Gran Turismo 7 GTDB.IO The complete list of legendary cars in Gran Turismo 7, with all the details – including what's appearing next. Any other way of getting invitations other than just reward tickets?

  43. I’d personally love an Umbro England shirt. But the whole thing is a shame really because I’ve always loved Nike’s design but this one has hit a nerve with me. Really don’t like the changing of the England flag and I really don’t like the alternative colours. Stick to White, Red and Blue.

  44. That was some sweet fucking justice. The lengths that dude has had to go to to get those buffs is unreal, he literally tripled his character's power with them which is why he was such a bitch to fight. Unfortunately he came up against a frost mage, the last thing you'd want to fight as a melee class. Ziqo got lucky there, if it wasn't for that final stun the paladin would've wiped the floor with him. Great fight 😄

  47. This is brilliant, thank you all so far. I've known for a while we have underutilised sections and its a cyclical thing really. We really removed things over time to make it simplistic and then I added new features on top over time to keep the place fresh and worth coming back to it. This feedback really helps work out where we can potentially remove certain areas off the main focus when they don't seem to be being used and try and circulate more key features. I think I've always been clear on one principle that has to stay for FG to work for me and that's the website being our main HOME. WhatsApp is chill and great for connecting, as is Discord, but its not personable as this place as is viewed as 'your place', not standardised bland group chats. One thing is for sure, I need to pick Announcements again, which are similar to what Welchy picks up around what's on. It was essentially a notification system of telling you all there's some new shit this week, go and check it out. It was just something that takes a while to get used to doing because everything requires time. Time around work, life, home, kids, etc. We can all make time though, if we want stuff to work. And I'd love to try yet another way of getting more people involved, I won't stop trying different ways to ask people if they want to get in on the FG act - just note that's its not the first I've asked everyone so its on everyone to recognise that a little more stepping up to the plate is all that's needed for FG to grow and flourish. So with that in mind, whilst I take some thought on some changes, let this be the place for the first way to gather interest on who would love to be involved in this stuff. Even if its just one small part of FG, it all counts. Remember, there's many things where people can immediately add value by just going into that section and creating or interacting with it. Quizzes, for example, ANYONE can create one if you are an FGer. I have also linked very many medals and achievements for interacting with this type of stuff, including responding to Events so it all counts, especially if you can see a nice shiny medal on your FG profile. Please keep the feedback coming in here everyone - its great we've had 4 comments above but more feedback and dialogue in here between us all will really help get things going at FG 👊
