Hi everyone, new member checking in
I know someone on here from another forum and they mentioned here in a post and it looked like a good place to get my gaming fix!
I don't play multiplayer games all that much any more - mostly due to unsociable work hours (and locations) and friends getting married and/or pregnant - but I still enjoy talking about them and have a youtube channel where I play through a few of my favourite games too.
Most people call me Nubs as it's easier to say than my mouthful of a username, and sounds amusing in a northern accent.
I am from the South West but now live in Hampshire. I work in TV, mostly in football and rugby, so travel around the UK a lot and am forced to see a lot of sport which I don't particularly enjoy.
I mostly play small indie games these days as I'm using a laptop in a hotel room but I do sometimes go for AAA games when I can afford them - I am a particular fan of Forza and used to have a few global top 10 times back in the days when I had spare time.
I am also a car nut.
I look forward to irritating you all with my slightly pedantic online nature and hopefully learning some shit about games and picking up a few tips on which ones to look at next.
Cheers!
It changes up the strike to make it more challenging or more fun, elemental burns, non replenishing shields, your mele is stronger, you take more damage in the air, shit like that. I said when I first saw the road map that I would probably play the game again in May, and it seems that hasn't changed. Via the FG App
The next Calibur is due this year and a rumour spread a few weeks back that they'd get a special charater from the Witcher
The story mode in the early games were brilliant and made this much more than just a straightforward beat em up.
Thought it would be good to get some quick basic tips to help people starting out. A few people have given me the following so far:
You can shoot other ships through waves – it sounds like the bottom of the ships are the most successful and dangerous target to focus on.
Stock up on supplies whenever you can(bananas/wood planks/cannon balls)
The more treasure on your ship, the riskier you are playing(pirates will be pirates)
If you are returning treasure, people wait at outposts to steal it. So, if you see a ship or blue smoke in the water at an outpost, someone is there. prepare to fight or go to another one
Cannon balls arch down and when moving, they arch behind you, practice is all you can do
