This one dropped today on PC, Xbox and Game Pass. An interesting FPS by the creators of Rick and Morty. I downloaded it and I'll give it a go tonight but it's been receiving some mixed reviews so far. It's been called a "sloppy shooter" or "generic shooter" and the humour bits are either hit or miss depending on the player. Thank god it's on GP then. Lol

This dropped off my radar, will have to check it out. The original video looked interesting but I think I heard some negative feedback on it, can't quite remember.

Cool, it's been so long I imagine there's a lot of improvements. I created a new character yesterday and I'll jump on a new game one of these days I'm off work.

Best perk ever 😁

As it says on the tin. Looks like MP is free to all, just found it on Playstation when I was searching the store. Could be something good for some to download to try before they buy for Christmas perhaps? May want to tag people here that you know don't have it so they don't miss it.

Some real interesting builds there I'm interested to use some of them to switch up my classes, I am low key addicted to resupply though having such a vast supply of flashes and grenades on hand is intoxicating!

I've lost interest now we're out 🤣🤣

This is where Soul Calibur always did well by fleshing out this mode to give some longevity to a fighting game. @Spacedeck @Tove , with you both there. Street Fighter was my go-to fighter a s a kid as I grew up playing SF2 Turbo Tournament on the Mega Drive. I just never sat down and studied some of the moves enough. Equally, there is so much more to it now. Even in Defence. @jordie1892 and @Stretch616 are the resident lovers of beat 'em ups but not sure they have this on their list. @LordBaguette dabbles in them too.

High risk of reward is really paying out well on this mode. 3 times myself, @phil bottle and @James5497 went in two nights ago thinking we'd get some nice loot and also try some keys we've all picked up along the way. Every time we pushed probably for something just a little more than we went in for....and then got took out dramatically around the extract and also by human players too. One run we nearly did multiple bounties and had the Weapon Case virtually extracted, only for us to fall at the final hurdle before the time just ran out. More and more people here need to give a few rounds a go as they won't be disappointed.

Yeah let us know! If the shooting is decent I'll give it a spin.

Ages ago

My go to is Overkill, tracker, Cold blooded and Ghost. Overkill let's me run round with a shield on my back which just gives me a little extra protection, it has allowed me to get into cover a couple of times when someone has got the drop on me. I put ghost / cold blooded on as I was a bit bored with shooting down UAV'S, VTOL's etc as some rounds it seemed to be all I was doing.

The only big issue with this game was the lag, particularly when more than a few people are on. Have they sorted that out yet?

Haven't got round to playing the demo yet but did watch some of the footage. Bit on the fence with it really and the gameplay just seems to lack flow when compared to the likes of Nier or DMC. I'll definitely wait for reviews for this one.

@Riff Machine as carl said the survival aspect isn't annoying at all, you can choose to not eat anything for hours in the real world and your health will stay at base level, you won't be tired, slow or have any annoying visual/auditory effects it's a very chill game, it doesn't annoy you constantly except for the occasional raid which we can easily counter in our server with our fortress bases and it has a ton to do, resource gathering, exploring, dungeon raiding and mine and carl's favourite building, it's a blast in this game

I don't bother too much with demos or betas these days as I find they are builds that tend to be quite a few months older than the date they are released. If you consider that's potentially September maybe even August build, that's getting on for 4 - 5 months polish before launch and that can make quite a big difference to the end game. I actually have it on pre-order, even if it's just a glorious looking world and game that would be enough for me because right now my PS5 feels like a glorified PS4...

This game is looking really interesting, Particularly the world tour aspect having some decent single player content is really interesting for a fighting game

I'm interesting in builds which others are running are you struggling with the limited perk packages? I would certainly like some extras considering we have 10 classes available. I've a couple of classes running default perk packages. I've got an adapted version of the Default Assault Class with an M4, Expedite 12 using the default Assault Perk Package and a Sniper Class which is running the Default Sniper Perk Package Then I've got my 5 custom Perk Packages Double Time, Extra Tactical, Resupply, Quick Fix - This is on my my AR, SMG and LMG Leveling classes these are generally my goto classes most of the time. Battle Hardened, Bomb Squad, Cold Blooded, High Alert - On an Anti Air class which usually consists of an LMG with a Large Mag and Strong Ammunition. Battle Hardened, Tracker, Fast Hands, Quick Fix - Is on my Shotgun Class this is great for Shoothouse and I suspect will be for Shipment too. Strong Arm, Battle Hardened, Resupply, Quick Fix - For an Anti Riot Shield class which usually doesn't have a set gun usually at AR or LMG, but always has an RPG, Tear Gas and a Molotov Battle Hardened, Bomb Squad, Fast Hands and Ghost - This is on a couple of classes which I run with AR's LMG's or SMGs these are my goto classes when I get games with too many UAV's or I want to slow down or try and flank a bit more.

Its limited to 3 maps and 4 game modes but looks like enough to be interesting

Man....this is one thing I haven't even touched yet, lol. Just used the stock Assault group and then switched it when I don't need Overkill to shoot down the UAVs. I really should look at what's available. Bomb Squad sounds decent and feels like one that would keep me alive more considering the way I play.

I played through the intro/prologue last night. I gotta say, that intro had me laughing my ass off. Aside from that, the shooting seems fairly generic. It’s nothing I’d say is revolutionary, but the controls are pretty tight.

No way was that (another) penalty last night. Peter Walton is also doing my head in with his analysis. The player literally ran into the keeper after scuffing his shot - keeper couldn't get out of the way and the Argentinean player was never going to make the second ball and made no attempt to either. If this is the standard then you could basically kick the ball, run into someone and then claim a free kick. Keeper made a legit attempt to block the shot and actually forced the striker to shoot tamely and off-target. Refs are just getting worse and Walton's interpretations of fouls are nauseating. Him and VAR are forgetting common sense.

Thank you, though I feel like you type this bit out through gritted teeth 😄 But yeah it has been incredibly welcoming here and getting to meet you all quite early on was really good 🙂 It genuinely feels like just a big group of friends (or as you put it Lee a family).

Battle hardened, bomb squad, resupply, got to leave a trail of claymores and ghost . Unless there's a challenge don't need to change anything out.

Is it survival, sure, is it annoying survival? Not at all. Also, since it's an existing server, you can choose to essentially start where we left off for gear and what not or choose to start from beginning. It's so chill and the building mechanics are top notch.

Black marble my man, so many things. I'm genuinely excited 😆.

That was probably one of the best gaming moments I've had in a very long time. I've been really enjoying playing DMZ, think I like the objectives and fast paced gameplay over Warzone.

My default is Overkill, Battle Hardened, Cold blooded and Ghost. If I don't want 2 primaries then I run bomb squad in place of overkill. On my class, I typically run radar as, primarily playing objective game modes, it's so useful to see people approaching an objective. For a couple of run and gun classes, I do use dead silence.

I always have 2 field upgrades going. Always Dead Silence, the other is usually DDOS, Ammo or Trophy system. Ammo if not using Scav, Trophy if not using Bomb Squad. DDOS for leveling up guns.

It's a great mode. You can really get people to rage in it and sometimes to hilarious results. Yesterday I decided to solo and went in without a gun. Couldn't find the dam things. Two operators came around in a car. So I hid. As one of the guys was looking at something I punched in the face a got a nose breaker. Dropped my C4 on top him. Waited from a distance. Buddy comes around to revive. Boom! Needless to say they said a bunch of things about my heritage and my mom 🙂 Picked up their M4 and LMG and went on my merry way. Far more fun that DOM or TDM

I really have to give this a go at some point. It's one of those games that I'm interested in, but also a little turned off by the survivor aspects of it. Maybe I'm just weird. Lol.

i have seen almost nothing on purpose cause i want to go blind in but it seems they added a ton of stuff for us to see and do and revamp our bases yet again😁 but i don't think we need to restart, we barely touched one or two mistlands islands before this update so we should be fine unless many people want us to restart then i am fine with it if we can have 10 people for example playing it

Aye that's fair Chris, you shouldn't have to justify your beastly grinding. I love it when multiple guns are close and you can just knock them all off. Well played sir!

My favorite is Battle Hardened, Bomb Squad, Fast Hands and Quick Fix. Since ghost is broken I switch to Quick Fix and haven’t went back. I really don’t switch up a lot unless I’m running a shield and pistol.

Serves the people right that bought it. Everyone on YouTube and Reddit was saying it was going to get nerfed. If people want a change to the system then they have to stop paying money for shit like this. Stop buying all the bundles. I’m fine with season passes. I hate them but I understand why they do them. It pays for the content. I would always buy the dlc packs and typically hated the maps that came with them and disabled the map pack or your connection suffered because the community was split. This way now everyone has the maps. Even though most of them suck or we get Shoot House and Shipment instead of any other classic map for the MW series.

I've put around 60 hours in T7 so far. I play MAME, so play arcade fighters on them sometime and I have Fightcade setup if I fancy an older game. Add me and maybe we can play sometime, same name as here.

I would put myself in the same boat as you. I really like fighting games but I'm not very good at them, I would say that I'm better that most of my friends but considerably worse than most people online so finding people to play with can be a bit difficult. I've always enjoyed fighting games since having SF2 on the SNES as a kid, I've attached a list of my current fighting games from Steam. Most recently I've mostly been playing Street Fighter 5 and Guilty Gear Strive, I've got about 30 hours in each of those games. Skull Girls is an interesting game too, with the option of each side picking up to 3 players and the game buffs or nerfs damage caused accordingly really interesting art style also and I can't forget about my all time favourite Killer Instinct. # I've been playing with the Hori Octa controller which is a really interesting fightpad I played a lost of Strive with this one and the 8bitdo Arcade Stick which feels awesome in most games I've played.

Do we have anyone here who plays fighting games? I've dipped on and out over the years, but never tried actually learning due to the difficulty. I recently upgraded my aging Venom PS3/4 arcade stick to SANWA buttons and joystick. I've started playing T7 and yeah I'm a noob who loses 98% of match ups but still trying to learn Asuka and the Korean Back Dash.

A demo for this popped up during the Game Awards for the PS5, so I gave it a go. The world looks really beautiful and the magical combat is really fun to utilize. There's a "magical parkour" movement system that basically propels you over obstacles while holding the circle button while dashing. It's neat, but you can also scale walls with it by tapping the circle button a few times during a climb. While it looks and plays really well, the style has me taking a pause about whether this will be a day one purchase. I found the dialog to be rather dull and lifeless, and the game is showing the usual troupes of a stealth/action/adventure/open-world/crafting kind of game. I'll be curious to see how this reviews as a lot of similar complaints are being levied by some web sites. time will tell, but I do hope it's a solid game.

Portugal was a blast. Being there at Christmas time was a lot of fun with all the little holiday markets and fairs. If you have Discord and are interested in pictures, see: https://discord.gg/gdANcvFJ TAP airline was pretty nice. Clean, relatively roomy, friendly staff. Food wasn't that great, but that's the general rule on airplanes so no surprise there. We flew Economy there and got an upgrade to Premium Economy on the way back. We ended up seeing Lisbon, Evora, and Sintra on this trip. We'll definitely return to see more.

Large Update today for Metal: Hellsinger, new difficulty, new combos, weapon skins. Looks quite exciting I really enjoyed this when it launched so it'll be nice to get stuck into it again! Metal: Hellsinger - Update 1.5 (2022.12.08) FORUMS.FUNCOM.COM Hellsingers! Muted in exile, my developer demons (dev-mons?) at The Outsiders have been hard at work to deliver to a Hell near you the new 1.5 update! Our first content update for Metal: Hellsinger brings a bevy...

I quite like this game. I think it's better than the last few games we've had. The maps are mostly decent apart from a couple. It's not perfect but it's not totally shit and much better than MW2019.
