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.

Yeah, think I'll pass this month

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 😀😀

I will probably try UFC and Dragon Keep, but not particularly excited for any of them really

Not quite sure how I feel about these.

I got a whopping 35 hours but I swear it's wrong as I played Bloodborne for 30 and Dark Souls on PS5 for 15 along with some hours on FIFA 22 and the Matrix game.

@slamminbones i habe to agree with @GazzaGarratt, your trophy count is mental!!!!! And @GazzaGarratt that is some serious hours dude!

Battlefield 3 - still holds up beautifully RIP my screenshots corrupted😅

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.

Mexico

Any of you guys know what the next 2 DLCs are? I was checking the Xbox sales at the moment (Lunar Year), passed by the premium content and saw the game will be having 2 DLCs soon. I wonder if these are new maps, or new activities which are still within Mexico. Played this a lot but got bummed out a little after I completed all events. Fantastic game. Very casual and chill. I just didn't find the urge to go through the smaller activities anymore. My regret for stopping is I was unable to attain the Mercedes flagship car in the trailers. It looks so awesome @_@

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)

@TurboR56Mini and I are in for all. 😄

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.

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.

Keep as is please 👍

I'm currently Level 30 as i play a couple of times a midweek before bedtime. The only update I'm interested in is optimisation for PC. It runs my CPU hotter than I'm comfortable with. Other than that, the game is a blast.

This is how you get me to stop playing this game.

Savegames should be compatible, but they recommend starting fresh... What does that mean for our server group? (Indifferent to me, but I know everyone put in a lot of work into the bases...)

A20.1 EXP - News & Announcements - 7 Days to Die COMMUNITY.7DAYSTODIE.COM Today we deployed A20.1 b4 to EXP for you all to enjoy! Savegames should be compatible, but as...

Game Pass is a terrible deal for developers so the only way Microsoft can expand their game range for that is by directly acquiring the developers/publishers for themselves. It's definitely a good deal for gamers but some developers are walking away with under 50 cents an install as opposed to up to $60 licence ownership to the consumer minus any distribution cuts. Not every game has additional revenue streams either. Just like the Epic Games Store, the pass once hosted older games that already reached peak revenue potential but now MS want newer titles straight on there and the only way they can do that without stumping up lump sum fees is by owning the publishers themselves. Centralising gaming like this could reduce output quality going forward and increase already tight internal competition so I really hope that it doesn't have a negative affect on newer releases that may go on there. Could also increase bullshit like NFT's to mitigate any reduced revenue as we've already seen with STALKER 2 who are already confirmed to be on the pass day one.

I believe this is to increase their GamePass and cloud gaming. A lot of people are working on making consoles disappear so having a solid porfolio is Key. They have Bethesda, EA, Activision now. I can forsee them having various tiers for the subscriptions and getting a constant revenue stream by not charging for the games and charging for in game content. Companies were already making a shitload of money that way. The $69 for the game is not what companies are after these days. I have their gamePass and generally speaking I am happy with it. All the games are older games but I don't give a shit. Most of them are fun to play. Been playing Doom, Battlefield, Skyrim, Oblivion all for an extra $4 on top of the gold membership. Most of the time I am playing off my laptop on the cloud. Much better experience than Vanguard or 2042 has to offer

True but it doesn't hurt to check the vendo's as you go past them. The other thing with the tinned food...if it isn't used in a recipe, just eat it as you pick it up. Thinking mainly of chicken rations here

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
