@J4MES OX4D In short, to combat any burnt out feeling i'll try and get both if I can. I'd obviously pick Destiny up ahead of CoD if I can't have both striaght away and thats more down to the variety of stuff to do in the game. I can play PvP like in CoD and thats one element of whats in it, on top of all the other game modes available. I think sometimes expectations of ours are either unrealistic or inaccurate based on what we've been fed before. I was talking to @Plumbers Crack the other night about some of this and how it factually works out in terms of money which gives you some options about what to do, especially on Destiny. I'll use the Destiny Roadmap to explain how that bit works cos I don't think its clear: Note - This roadmap doesn't tell us every bit of detail because they like you to find more bits as you go through the content For Info: Standard Beyond Light Edition £34.99 Standard Edition + Season 12 £42.99 Deluxe Edition £59.99 Yellow = Free to play and doesn't cost anything. Just update your download and you'll access to it. Red = Beyond Light expansion elements - worth £34.99 Blue = Season of the Hunt Content - worth either £8 bought alone with expansion or worth £6.25 if bought in Deluxe edition. There are 4 Seasons due so I'd expect they will last for 3 months each. So whilst £59.99 looks a larger amount, I think it boils down to whether you think the Seasons will be worth it. You could say looking at the above there's only 3 Season elements on the roadmap. They'll likely be some form of playloop with new loot (weapons & armour) to obtain and chase included within it and if you work that out what it essentially costs per month, its £2.08 if its the season pass, £2.67 if bought standalone. For the amount of content you get for that, i'd say its worth a coffee a month based on previous seasons content. However, as theres not much difference between each season cost either bought upfront or just standalone, then I'd say its up to people if its the £42.99 or £59.99 edition they think is worth it considering how Destiny is a game you can come and go back to whenever you want. I think you do get a few extra things like an emote, ghost shell, etc but i'm not classing that in this thought. With Call of Duty the editions are: Standard PS4 edition - £59.99 Cross Gen edition -£64.99 Ultimate Edition - £84.99 Cod is priced higher because its not an expansion, more so a new game. although conveniently its the same price as Destiny's deluxe cost. Cross Gen makes total sense for people with PS4s getting a PS5 as its only a fiver extra. Shame they have to charge an extra fiver as others are giving upgrades for free but here we are. The ultimate edition is £20 extra. That seems to be for these additional items: Woods Operator in MW/WZ AR Weapon Blueprint in MW/WZ Confrontation Weapons Pack Cold War Land, Sea and Air Pack Cold War S1 Battle Pass Bundle Now £20 for a years worth extra cosmetics is down to everyones opinion. Less than £2 a month for extra shiny stuff might not be worth it in some eyes (although Fortnite offer their seasons around similar prices through the year and people buy them like gold dust). However, it looks like you get access to some guns that could make a bit of difference in gameplay to people. As this is all just facts to help people work out if its all worth it, it will also come down to upfront money you have available. Most FGers I would think be on Destiny at some points, however the recent MW shown how many people here still like playing CoD. And that will still be available for us, including the Warzone mode with is F2P. Hope the breakdown helps - be good to know who we've got about around the place come these coming months!

That's all very helpful @GazzaGarratt👍

It’s only a small thing but it’s little touches like that that will probably make me choose Beyond Light

Nope. Every version you buy is cross gen. So a PS4 or PS5 copy will allow you to play with the other Playstation groups. Same for Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Destiny is one game you can use straight away on the PS5 and continue to play with PS4 players.

Everyone will be moved up to 1050 come Nov 10th, regardless if you have bought anything or not. Destiny will start everyone at the same pegging so everyone can basically access nearly all content available. You then work up your Power as you play to access content that is generally harder to get better rewards. Rinse and repeat through the different gamemodes. PvP, PvE, mix of both, etc.

Spurs up to 2nd. Finally managed to win a home game. If Jose can get a consistent performance from this team it will be a good season. Good to see Bale get off the mark. I love our new left back Reguilon. I have warmed to Jose if only for getting Daniel to open up his wallet.

I hear they might be adding crossplay in 2021 between console and PC. I'd get it for that. After playing it on PC it feels clunky on console. Still, though, its tempting as there'll be a lot more FGers on Density than COD...

I feel a bit burnt out on CoD so will probably go for Destiny

I've pre-ordered beyond light and I'll probably pick up cold war as I didn't bother with MW19 and I've done all I can in the last 7 months with blops4. I hope though to get into cyberpunk more than I usually do with single player games.

I'd do this for Xbox as well but most of their exclusives are not for 2020. So, for those getting a PS5 day one, or before Xmas, what games do you have your eyes on. For me it would have to be Demon Souls and Gran Turismo 7, and possibly AC Valhalla...if it turns out to be decent. The first two would be enough to make me buy the console.

Anyone else torn between the two or planning to pick up both or neither? With Cyberpunk being delayed it's given me more time but I still don't think I'll be able to squeeze in both or be willing to buy each at full price. I quite enjoyed Cold War and I may get a month of action out of it but I also enjoy Destiny 2 which is far more relaxed. There hasn't been enough footage of the new expansion for my liking though and I don't want another situation where it's another shoddy Bungie vanilla experience where we have to wait months for extra content and overall improvements. I was gonna make a poll but I'd rather hear people's actual thoughts. Cheers!

I see you @phil bottlepractising away on Laguna seca 😄 some of those top 10 times are rapid this week!!

Kingdom Classic FREE on Humble https://www.humblebundle.com/store/kingdom-classic-free-game?hmb_source=search_bar

I doubt I'll be getting it anytime soon but when I do, Demon Souls will be the first title I imagine.

Nothing I truly want comes out immediately at launch. If I were to score a PS5 at or around launch, I would probably get: Godfall Spider Man: Miles Morales Obviously, I would be on Destiny 2 as well.. but that's not a new thing.

Yeah, i could. Depends how you see it working though? I was looking into an acca facility where we have a little internal game but It was pretty clear when you watch the documentary when he first needs a new manager what Levy thinks of him. I don't blame him tbh, his trophy record is clear to see. He just needed proper backing, like he got at good ol' Cheatski back in the day.

Upcoming week of daily races are as follows: N400 Sardegna A Gr.4 Laguna Seca Gr.1 Autpolis Might want to give Gr.1 a swerve or drop it to Gr.3 as some might find it tricky.

Teardown

Out of interest, does anyone on here enjoy the odd flutter on the footy? Was thinking if we had say 5+ people, we could all pick one selection a week and make a FG Acca 😄

I'll be picking this up when the PS5 drops, so I'll be sure to get on with you guys 💪
