I will try and get on today, I believe the magnificent Isambard Kingdom BruCarl has been at work and want fo check it out 🙂

5 March 6.05pm ‘mmmmm Gary will you just jump on this til xxxxx arrives ‘ 😂

So after trying numerous times I finally got my Playstation Wrap 2021 to work and thought it would be cool to share and compare what we were all playing last year, how many new trophies we got, and how many hours of glorious gaming we had. I've screenshotted and shared mine below, and look forward to seeing everyone else's 😁😁

Good share @Antpool84 ! Its abit amazing when you look back and see how many hours you end up playing just one game....and then rest 😅. @slamminbones , those trophies are literally insane! Here's mine. I wish I could get my PC stats too!

Under the radar game (again) and after re-reading this thread, i'll admit i'm hyped but keeping it very under wraps. The thrill of the night time mixed with Parkour was something to behold.

Not been trying to post in here about the Championship, mainly because I don't want to jinx it! 😄 All i'll say is that the seeing is an absolute cracker in the Championship so far. Everyone beating everyone, and I think it shows how good a league can be with tight squads. Even the likes of Fulham, Bournemouth and West Brom have not been allowed to run away with it....just yet. I geniunely think that Derby will also stay up now! -21 points and only 8 points away from getting out of the relegation zone. Especially 19 games to go. Mental season.

Tbf, Day One whilst anyone trying a raid goes in to try and complete, based on previous contest modes we aren't goign to get majorly far so i'm not concerned about busting a gut for hours on end. However, I wouldn't say its the sweats, I genuinely believe most of us can do a Week One completion as after that Day 1 contest mode is switched off, we should feel the change up in getting through the raid. Make sure you're available both weekends buddy. We need to change the mentality that we have to wait ages to raid and be ridiculously overlevelled to complete it. 👊

Been many years since I last played this but it's an utterly excellent game and I will have to do it again soon now that it's complete.

I have these. There's just a wire that goes from the controller to the headset. The sound is excellent and I've never had any complaints about voice comms.

Sorry for reviving an old thread but I have so much love for the Arctis 3 (the cheaper version of the 7), I've been using mine for 2 years so far and the sound quality is just superb. I'm no audio enthusiast but it's a great pair of cans for Xbox gaming and Spotify sessions on the good ole mobile phone. Plus really, it's super cheap. Became even cheaper now that there are better Arctis out there so if you're strapped for cash, don't disregard it completely yet.

Not sure if Charlie has voted, but @Venom is defo up for 6pm 5th March, to the bitter end !!

As I was definitely happy to leave that vog day one run I'm happy to let you raid sweats give that a go but I'd like to get in on some more raids starting next season. I'll be back to weekends only at that time though.

Absolutely cracking game I went to today - Oxford beat Sheff Wed 3-2 after coming twice from behind to do the double over them. Watch us lose to bottom of the league next week though😂

I won't pick it up at launch but with the postponement of Stalker 2 I think I'll be on it pretty soon after. It looks good and I hope the parkour and melee is done well. Tempted to reinstall the first one again in the meantime.

This arrives in a couple of weeks and I'm bloody tempted to grab it from the off even if that means playing Elden Ring and GT7 a little later than planned. It's been in development for 5 years and whilst it doesn't look like a huge leap forward over the original, it will certainly be laden with content on what should be a very enjoyable gameplay foundation. The original game which has been out for a staggering 7 years already had been one of the most underappreciated success stories of the last generation and developers Techland provided some excellent post-launch support with that. Dying Light sold 17m copies by 2019 and is probably past 20m now which is crazy but completely deserved. I just hope the sequel can capture the same level of interest and quality.

I finally got around to playing Rimworld last night before and after D&D, and I'm hating myself for taking so long to try it out. I'm totally in love.

According to this tweet from Jason Schreirer at least https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1483428774591053836?t=iOxXYxEdlwfqyFqEDbyW9Q&s=19

I absolutely loved that in the first one. When it got to night and you had to literally just run your ass off to get to a safe place it got so intense!! I have to admit I can't wait for this to come out 😀😀

Didn't know where to put this, so I'll drop it in here...listen out for the video games reference and it's not FIFA BTW this is a really interesting channel

No shame

Not quite sure how I feel about these.

Jesus I need to get my trophy level up! 31 games though which I'm impressed with! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Such a pity they are on the verge of liquidation. Been following this loosely last few days and I didn't realise how serious it was. If they don't survive the league then I hope they survive as a club and I'm sure they will bounce back. It would be incredible of them if they stayed up and the amount of big teams they've beaten this year is insane. Shite ownership once again destroying a club.

After convincing/challenging Carl @TurboR56Mini to make the entrance underneath the OG base, we've now made huge progress to the underground network, connecting it fully to the Big Base, Horde Base and work has started on the tunnel to the Bad Place 😄 We've toyed around with the lighting and came up with a snazzy Lamp Post effect, that is inside the walls. Carl has been incredible on it, and its been a pleasure working it all out with him. I've also started on the huge space of nothingness in the Big Base so we can make more of it, adding a slanted roof. However, as the Stability has been creaking, we needed to start getting rid of the remaining rock underneath the surface. This led to a bit of the existing part falling down (@crispymorgan - your Plane Tower took a hit) but if we don't do it now, we won't be able to build anything in that area. I'll grab some pics when I can. I also think La and Carl should share pics of the Bad Place as the house looks great and its a great place to chill out and mine underneath too! Penis Ball Art FTW 😎

Even if he gets the inevitable payout, it sounds like he will go which can only be a good thing. I don't think changes anything straight away, imo. Immediate positives through a few games on GamePass but longer term i have my doubts. But thats also gaming in general. 100% agree with the money model is not after $69, which is the more slightly concerning issue here in general. Agreed again. Culture is changing and people seem to want this as a feature as they don't want to change allegiances in platforms. Although, I think this has become a glorified bonus personally as many won't/don't want to play with crossplay on in an FPS game. I think for me the gaming industry has shifted already. We've talked before on how consumers gorge content like no tomorrow and waiting 7 years for an original AAA masterpiece is very difficult to wait for these days. I think many games won't be at the same quality if we keep forcing consumers down a rental service. Movie industry is a prime example that has seen this impact. Over time, the real winners will be the games that keep alive via Live Service, or can create sequels that are essentially add-ons. In a weird sense, could be fantastic news for Overwatch 2. Release smaller content drops more regularly. People want to play all the games and don't want to be held down to one anymore by Game Producers. We'll see how quick they can actually churn out AAA games to match what Sony have produced in the last 5 years. I think they can, but could take another 5 years to come side by side.

I saw a rumor on another forum, sorry it slipped my memory and I can't quote it at the moment, but it was rumored this was coming to Switch's N64 lineup for the subscription package... but then, somebody said it probably won't happen due to licensing issues. Is this "licensing issue" because Xbox have the rights to it? And I play on both but I would love to play this on Xbox instead. 😄 (for the record, I missed out because I never had an N64)

yeah day 1 I’ll be delighted to get any loot, as I recall that day 1 DSC we got one drop but it was a great moment. Ive for a stupidly busy week before the raid, so my 150 stored bounties are my comfort blanket !

Please! An awful lot has been done in the last week 👍💯

I’d keep it as it is, there’s enough map to not care about missing out on a few buildings and I can’t imagine there’s a huge amount of difference in most the updates. Probably just fixing textures otherwise they’d say we definitely have to restart. I’d only restart now if it was a massive jump, basically Alpha 21.

There is no money to be made in selling gaming platforms. XBOX sales at a loss. The margins are shit. With regards to the devs, once they are part of MS they become part of the bigger picture and $.13 cuts is not an issue for the MS group. They will be recognized based on gaming revenue. Just like I get recognized for datacenter revenues at Intel but work on probably less than 5% of the product offering and have absolutely zero to do with the CPU business. That's how these massive companies work. Intel is $78 Billion. My paycheck is based on Intel achieving better than $78 Billion this year. People don't count each of our products and brake it down, I suspect MS will do the same. They won't care how much Skyrim or COD puts into the business. They will care on how profitable the gaming business is. If a game isn't they likely will more people around and put them on the next project. The job market is extremely competitive these days. I don't for a minute believe that the developers won't end up ahead with this deal

I was speaking in terms of the broader pass concept and not the actual acquisition. Microsoft snapping more and more studios and then planting them on a cloud-based structure would likely see revenues heavily squeezed for developers and morale depleted among studios. Imagine spending 3 years to make a game and then receiving a 13 cent cut just because someone installed your game and you can't measure if it was curiosity or an 'intended purchase'. We've already seen a few of their Indie studios disappear with staff being moved around where needed whilst other developers are left in limbo. I do think the the Activision acquisition will boost the publisher no-end especially under improved ethics and a new direction - it can't get much worse after all but this aggressive stance Microsoft are taking in the industry which mimics that of Tencent may have knock-on affects in other areas that aren't apparent yet. The Game Pass has been very successful for gamers but for devs, not so a bit like how Spotify is to musicians and this could worsen the more Microsoft aim to grow their Cloud and subscription services. It may help them sell more Xbox units now but the long-term consequences may be worse for the industry especially with independent developers.

I really hope they sort it out properly. I'd love a good shooter again.

Tonight's update - the Player Vault is now open across from The Boom Boom Room. All of your boxes and items have been secured and ready for your use. We've also given some additional presents. @Plumbers Crack and @crispymorgan take a peak among others. The farm has been at least doubled with around 100 plots being added. The stairs to the garage and Pink Mist room have been reconfigured along with a some more work done down there. All the exterior walls are now double thick and it's coming along. The tunnel is passable on a bike which if I'm honest, the best way to travel for ease of turning. The kitchen renovation has also been completed with some fresh paint, extra storage, and more ease of use. Added another chem station as well as part of the farm renovation. Lastly, if y'all can move your nasty bedrolls to somewhere out of the smelting area and kitchen, that would great. It fucks with my mild OCD in these games 😎

I'm not precious about buildings i am about my character, I don't really want to start again. I'm happy to keep as it is and I guess you feel the same 😁

Scoreboard coming next month and it's not going to be called any 'legacy' bullshit either. It's the real deal although it does look a bit nasty in terms of colours and bloat. Cannot believe it's taken 4 months to get the most simplest feature into the game. It's also been an absolute shit-show between the developers and the community majority on getting this in with Vince Zampella saving the day it seems.

On top of this their cross play and cross saving features between PC and Xbox make it a huge seller.

This... a million to this. I understand that the tinned food recipes give lots more health and whatnot, but the effort to get the tins for our group is higher in the effort than making things like Hobo Stew or Meat Stew. We have ingredients for those in spades. Every time we hunt for fat, we come back with hundreds of meat, which we can sell half and keep half.. and we still have like a shit ton of meat. The cooks and the farmers of the team (me, @GazzaGarratt, @tronic44) can stretch the resources better than non-farmers/non-cooks. The harvesters/hunters (like @TurboR56Mini ) always come back with so much meat and bones when hunting for fat. The amount of time it takes to get the ingredients for meat stew or hobo stew is a fraction of time it takes to accumulate the same amount of tinned resources for equal amount of health in tinned food vs. non-tinned food. Obviously, I will always bring back any canned food I find, but more often than not, I can make 30 meat stew for the team as opposed to like 2 tinned-recipe foods for the team.

Although I'm not a huge fan of these sandbox racing games, I can't help but appreciate the sheer level of polish that these developers offer in them. It looks absolutely remarkable in places and the technical quality is some of the most refined I have ever seen. Horizon 3 and 4 were both incredible and 5 looks to be another stunning experience
