Winning at Millwall away first day of the year can’t be bad😎

Voting is now open for the FG Game of the Year 2024! Vote for your 2 favourite games from those nominated. Please do not select anymore than 2 titles. Voting closes next Friday, 10th Jan.

Some lazy fuckers in the community need to post more and support their community. Costs nothing 🙂 that's my 2024 feedback, you're welcome 🤣

First post will keep the running total and then each week I will put up the weeks stats in a new post 🙂 Hopefully get a few of us back on here keeping an eye on it, see who comes top and maybe get us chatting on here a little more. It also gives us a little more to clubs again as we have a decent regular group! So here are the running totals (which is essentially game week 1) - Currently there are a few getting off the mark with red card's and a couple of hat tricks in the first week (well done Macca!)

The obvious game for most will likely be GTA 6. There's rumours of a Bethesda remaster of Oblivion and/or Fallout 3. Which would be nice but not really necessary. Escape From Tarkov is due to release the final map and come out of Beta. Elders Scrolls 6 would be nice but unlikely. If I think of more I'll come back. I'm actually in a sweet spot right now game wise so I'm in no real hurry for anything tbh

Giving this thread a nudge as I have been playing this over the Christmas break with my wife. She love's games like this and generally the only sort she will play but I have been enjoying using it to wind down after hectic day's with the kids! The multiplayer works well albeit there seem's to be a glitch in the mines for player 1 where it all freezes up and you have to leave the mine and re-enter which can be a bit rubbish! I just got our first bit of Irridium which was a pain the first time, I imagine next time will be a bit easier as I have a few Crystalarium's producing Jade for staircases now! We completed the Community Centre, now I am just getting the boat done to head off to Ginger Island and then converting the old Jo-Jo mart which I believe become's a Cinema? Anyway yeah this game is as great as ever. Another note is that it also exceed 41 million purchases last year I believe which is a phenmonal achievement considering where it started!

Respect to Littler, when you watch him you forget he's only 17...

The site has been pretty dead for the past few months I feel and I think a large portion of it could be trimmed down. Many of the game sub forums could be removed or replaced with newer/more popular titles. Overwatch, ESO, Diablo 4, Hunt Showdown and Valheim all probably don't warrant their own space now either by virtue of diminishing popularity and/or their age.

As an American who sees clips on TikTok. I will never skip a video. I love hearing, "onnnnnnnnnneeeeee hunnnnnndreeeeed EEIIIIIIGGGGGHT". Inject those 9-darters into my fucking veins.

Current software restraints from webp being used unfortunately. However, there is a huge update to the software at Invision coming very soon and that will allow webp I believe - we will need to do some significant lift and shifting for that once it is ready.

Online multiplayer football game from Soclap. Arcade inspired.

@slamminbones @Luseth @GazzaGarratt @Diddums Great to hear from you all! I actually just got the PS5Pro and have been gaming quite a bit on Bo6. Y’all should add me! Would love to get some games in. I mainly play TDM/Kill Confirmed/Dom/HP/Prop Hunt MuzzLiteYear#4017081 haply holidays as well!

Astro Bot Metaphor Helldivers 2 Hope everyone has been well. 🤘🏻

I tried the UFL demo, it wouldn't ever connect to servers. So I think EA are doomed to reign supreme a little while longer 🤣

I saw this earlier. Looks like rush though rather than a full football game. It looks like something I wouldn’t mind trying

It has become pretty tiring, if the game isn't a halo/cod manly men circlejerk then it's woke and DEI, how are we regressing that much as a society? This Ciri is older and has gone through hell to become a Witcher, of course she won't look like a perky teenager like in Witcher 3, that doesn't make her ugly as some call her and with the way the Witcher 3 ended it makes sense for Geralt to live out the rest of his life in peace while Ciri becomes what she always wanted to be

All of the Gamerbro's are having a meltdown because Siri is the main character. The game is "woke" (I absolutely hate that term) now 🤣 They clearly know fuck all about the series.

When it's core that's when the real profanities come out 😂

It's when bones gets bummed by hitmarkers galore.

Never heard of FG-core, is that when you play with rubber bullets? 😂

Astro Bot Black Ops 6 Pokemon Pocket Marvel Rivals the only other game I’ve played that came out this year is EA FC 24 and I’m definitely not putting that on my list. going off what I’ve heard and seen I’ll put down Helldivers 2

I love that darts is still so popular, this year's finals are rocking already. Wright always manages to rise to the occasion... although I'd love to see Littler win it.

I couldn't see a thread for this which surprises me. It seem's to be our surprise new game recently, 6v6, fluid combat in the Overwatch style. There seem's to be a few of us giving this a go so come this year I can see it getting some use! This thread is to ask about people's favourite characters, any tips and tricks for anyone struggling to find their feet and also to talk competitive nights. I think it might be good to create some events and get a full squad of 6 on the go as co-ordination on these game's can really send things your way! So to kick this off I am going to make a suggestion for new players for each class - Tank - Hulk - Easy to get to grips with, has a great deal of health and his Ult just allows you to charge in and attack like mad (Click the sticks in for an entertaining move on enemies if they are close enough). Don't forget when you die as Hulk you turn into Banner, if you keep your distance he can deal a fair amount of damage with his Gun DPS - Punisher - For anyone who has played a shooter before he is the character to use. Simple, has the choice of machine gun or Shotgun and can deal a fair amount of damage. His ult can clear out a whole team with it's rockets and using positioning his turret cleverly can allow you to deal huge amounts of damage. Healer - I think this is a tricky one, there are definately some good one's but I think for a new player I would suggest Jeff the land shark. He can spray and pray so to speak to heal and launch out little water bubbles that players can run through to heal.

I've had it for ages and it seems the perfect game for the SteamDeck but never got around to it. Should really give it a proper go 🙂

Got my diamond ARs 4 out of 6 gold SMGs 1 out of 3 LMGs gold 1 out of 4 Pistols gold

Sadly it's like everything people need to use it or lose it so to speak! It's the same story with high streets, pubs, Shops, local authority facilities. I have gone a bit backwards on everything recently, you need to take care of the things you have or one day it won't be there anymore. (Heck it's the same with the planet). But for some reason people do not seem to understand it and only moan once things are gone!

Littler played fantastic, didn’t miss many doubles and chose some fun checkouts as well which was entertaining.

Haven't seen this in years....

And for us all mate. Plus would reduce storage space dramatically! Quite a lot to do back end before we get it though and a few decisions to make on where we store FG in teh interwebz too.... Amen to that ❤️ It will cost us at some point though and I hope people want it enough to be here forever ❤️🖤

Ah fair enough, I can obviously convert them when needed. It would have just removed a step for me ^_^

@GazzaGarratt any chance you could make it so event cover photos can use other image types? Webp seem's to be most common at the moment to find so might be worth incorporating here?

CDs are coming back out for me. The ease of Spotify and streaming music is great for certain scenarios but if I'm chilling at home in the shed, then a CD in the background is a far better option as its a choice to do something you want to do specifically rather than get a curated playlist continually retune your needs. ooo I'd love to see tapes make a comeback! Probably not worth the hassle unfortunately but would be ace to play on the odd occasion. As we love games, I'll obviously say all my old consoles and handheld devices are a great alternative for an evening of gaming. Makes you appreciate the gaming industry, especially when lately it feels like new good games are a thing of the past. Actually, to finish I'd also say one more thing...I got Hayley a Tamogochi for Christmas! 🤣 They were ace back in the day, just to pass abit of time. These days we use continuous never ending free games on our phone but this feels like a cool way to get off those things to help you back into the real world and not lose too much time into the those awful mobile games.

As we get older, we don't want to change. Easy to get stuck in a rut and not move with the times. Doesn't mean we should like what people do new, but games have to evolve and we must adapt sometimes to how new games move. As we haven't got the reflexes or the time we used to have (if you're moving 30+ and above here), then its pretty easy to see why the new games don't feel great. Quick movement on BO6 and smaller maps which means more gunfights. I still think its great we wreck as a team because thats they way to combat better individual players. I'll go on the old ones for Private games for good laughs with each other but they won't offer much more other than sweats that don't want to move on so therefore older games get even harder. My 2p.

Really enjoyed it...but then, I enjoyed all of them 👍

Thanks all for your nominations, this is now closed! I’ll be making a new thread in a few days with the final voting process for our official Game of the year! I hope you all have a great Christmas!

Yep, it's really telling that we miss the centre partnership in particular. Although Bissouma seems out of sorts lately and not playing to previous standards, he was poor today.

Barcelona is my top city in Europe, amazing food scene and also perfect blende of a city and beach trip

When Spurs go 3 up versus Utd, I get the cold sweats...I have a memory from a certain game. So, I'm glad we fixed that little issue tonight. Hard work though as usual 🙈🤣

Basque country, don't dare call it Spain, they'll kill you 🤪 but love that place, great food, culture and people.

Bruges, Budapest or Prague.

Yep, hypocritical nonsense. Although I have banned myself from picking up this game 🤣

I'm not a Situationist myself but I do like their proverb from back in the day: Be realistic, demand the impossible! 🤣

The trailer for the new Naughty Dog game has dropped and it looks prettty good. I loved the Uncharted and Last of Is games so got high hopes for this.

Game awards last night and lots of announcements of new games, of which this was not expected at all...

Let's be honest, this is going to be great, the question is how great? Does it live up to the Witcher 3 which is to be fair still my number 1 game. I put a lot of hours into that and intend to go back in the new year! Ciri as the protagonist is not surprising, what is though is that she is using witcher spells and drinking witcher potions, the lore has always said that a witcher can only ever be male so they are going to have to go into that a little bit. I imagine it will be down to her blood I suppose. New voice actress? And it looks great but you always have to take cinematic trailers with a pinch of salt as so often we have been burnt by them in the past.
