Diddums

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 😄 

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 👍🏻

HAHAHA!!  The first night I jumped into some games with @TigerBurge and @Jason I ended up killing Chris 3 times.  Lol.  He got me back in the end, but fuck was that fun.

It's a fantastic game, the absolute carnage and chaos is unlike any other game I've ever played and accidentally dropping an orbital on your team mates is so satisfying hilarious embarrassing. Looking forward to another sesh tonight. 

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! 

I haven't been able to log on all week.  I didn't get a chance to try last night, post-patch.  I'm hoping to get some time in this weekend.  I really love this game.  

Ok, @Diddums and @GazzaGarratt you have sold me. Seems like the right time to jump in. 
 
It’s pay day too, so I’m going to make the purchase and jump in this weekend! 

Played all night, zero problems. 
 
 
 
 
No they don't, this isn't a Sony problem.

Another sound night, got straight in and no problems whatsoever!
 
Also, looks like they have pushed another few patches out. Yesterday was the AFK fix and now they've upped server limits too:
 

 
I think I would go as far to say right now, that if you've been holding off because of this - don't. Buy the game, and jump in with everyone. It is fantastic and a really enjoyable experience in missions.

It's so weird that you say this as I reinstalled it on Friday. @techno and I were gonna have a little play but a 132gb download quickly put an end to that. It's fully updated and ready to go though, maybe I'll even put something in the calendar for Friday.
 
I'm so bored of cod it's unreal. 
 
I even subbed to WoW for a month to see if that would keep me busy but after running a few dungeons I'm just bored again.
 
Helldivers 2 looks ace but my days of spending cash on games that get played a few times and then get abandoned are done, I'm only spending cash on stuff I really intent to get stuck in to. 
 
I really wish Playstation would give trial periods of games, even just an hour to get a feel for it is usually enough. 
 
That being said, it is payday on Friday and this sweetens the deal even more:

I’ve seen it getting bashed but honestly, Matt, Cal, Aaron, Marc and I have all really been enjoying it so far, guess it just comes down to taste like with everything else in the end. 
 
I have to admit I love the party system as you can be in a group but all 3 of you can be doing different things should you want to, but all of you still get rewards for quests/missions done by anyone in the group.
 
My one gripe so far which made crossplay with Marc a tiny bit annoying is that there’s no game chat what so ever. So would have to link psn and discord I guess.
 
Not had too many bugs so far, been the odd one every now and then but compared to other games close to release this is nothing. (Thank fuck it’s not another cyberpunk)

This is getting such a panning it's hilarious.
 
What does this do that Sea of Thieves doesn't?

Hey everyone, 
 
I’m Andy and I’m a massive fan of multiplayer games, mostly Fifa and COD (Warzone).
 
Over recent weeks I find myself wanting to be more involved with gaming communities and my good friend Welchy recommended Forever Gaming as a great community to join.
 
The last time I was part of a gaming community was back when OSRS started to die down and coders started making private servers for OSRS, so if you ever played LostPKZ many years ago you may have come across me. 
 
I’ll try to be as active as I can be and you may see me upload gaming reviews, I’m currently writing a review for EA Sports FC 24 which I hope to finish over the next few days. 
 
Anyway, I look forward to chatting to you all and being part of the community. 
 
Andy

Had my reservations about this game due to the amount of delays. It's not what I was hoping deep down that it would be, but it's better than expected. Land movement annoyed me a bit the first maybe hour of playing, then I progressed far enough to where I could get a proper ship and some cannons and boy... This game is epic. Combat is actually challenging, progression actually feels like you've worked for it and properly earned the upgrades you get. I think on saturday I spent a good 10 hours playing the demo and 3 of those were me just working to get the best ship available in that demo. There's so much to explore, plunder to be had, upgrades to farm for and ways to earn silver and infamy that I have to admit, I fell in love with this game and by the time the beta ended last night I was pissed at myself for not having been on the ball earlier in the week to get the demo on the 8th to maximize my playtime 😅

Hell I only fucking found the black market 2 hours before servers went down on sunday I was that busy burning every port to the ground.
The few things I didn't attempt was mainly the pvp events and also the sea monster event. I did try going after elite captains and also the ghost ships but it's near impossible while solo. (hint hint nudge nudge people, get on the ball!) Did have anamerican budy join me on sunday for a bit but he was hours and hours of progression behind me, it does seem like quests completed while in a group counts for everyone though, as he was completing his early quests I still got silver for them, not sure if I would have gotten infamy as well as I had already reached the max infamy rank available in the demo.
 
Overall I have to admit I quite enjoyed the grind to get better ships, weapons and armor and finding combinations of these that worked for me. It's time consuming but this can be sped up in a group as you can send your friends materials, guns, blueprints and all kinds of things. So if anyone is ahead of the pack you could help out others that find the grind tedious or simply can't get the required items to progress due to enemies being too hard for them to fight.
 
As for how many can play together I've seen both 3 and 5 mentioned and the menu in the demo looked like it had room for more than 3, so I'm not 100% sure. But, I'm willing to bet you can get more of your friends on the same server and then split into several smaller groups but still take on elite captains, ghost ships, sea monsters and bounties all together as any player ship can do this without being in the same group as you. Pvp also seems to be off unless you go for the pvp events so sorry @Diddums you wont be able to ram everyone to try and sink them if you end up playing this 🤣 
 
Honestly very excited for the full release, I've seen their planned roadmap as well and there seems to be quite a bit of content they intend to add in so I can see myself spending many an hour on the open sea plunderin' fer booty!
 
 
 
Yo, ho, haul together
Hoist the colors high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die

So... I'd suggest Destiny 2.
 
In June. 4th June to be exact.
 
I'm partly joking but also not. We've all had a break for over a year, I intend to keep away even further until June. DLC will close the story off we've played for 10 years. Seems fitting to play it with all the QoL enhancements we've not seen. Lots of FGers here too still haven't got into it and if we all did around the same time it'll be a better experience. No grinding, just play different experiences with everyone. You'd probably enjoy that if you did just work yourself around all the experiences as objectives for us to do together.
 
You just need a game for the next 4 months mate - Helldivers 2 and CoD will cover that period 😉

Yessir. Loving it, what an amazing place to work!

Bit gay this innit
