All ARs are platinum. That give me 39/51 guns platinum. The rest of the long shots should be easier.

So I've recently managed to get the SO-14 gold, thats all the battle Rifles gold. I did find using it in full auto with a 50 round mag and turning it into an LMG more successful and fun. Also got my first Marksman Rifles gold with the SPR and LMS. Got my first Pistol gold with the Desert Eagle . 50Gs. That is all for now.

I've played it a bit on PC, and I believe @TurboR56Mini and @RenFengge have been talking about playing it too. I love the Fallout games. I'll install it today on playstation to see what it's like on console. I agree @GazzaGarratt as its free we should be able to get a few of us on it, get it installed 🙂

I was looking forward to this as I love the apocalyptic style of games, however I do feel the zombie thing has been done to death now. Surely they could get a bit more creative with end of world / life scenario's. I won't be picking this up right away and can see it being one of those games that drops in price pretty quick so maybe will give it a go when it's a little cheaper. Besides with FO76 on PS I have been getting back into that which is providing my post apocalypse fix for the time being.

Zombie Division. Hard pass. I'm so done with the whole zombie genre.

Finally got round to picking this up it's basically siege turned up to 11 on the realism scale. Phil and I spent literally all night in one mission. It was hard. Could do with maybe one more person to make it a bit easier. I'm loving it though.

I watched live on his channel when their new video dropped, his reaction was priceless 😅 Yeah this game seems well dodgy 🙈

I have been on 🙂 Up to level 14 I think now, been pottering about with a couple of friends and it play's fairly well, loading time's aren't too great if you fast travel and such but I'm not sure if it installed on my internal storage or external. It's typical fallout but I am enjoying something that isn't quite so fast paced and hectic and running round just trying to shoot other people. Kinda pleasant!

It is quite tough with just two people but a lot of fun. Amazing to think it's an early access game. The gun play is superb.

I'll shoot zombies until the cows come home, and then some. I'll never tire of that. I like shooting shit. I find that fun. I don't like being in an army, or a government agent, or a cop and the way the world is, I end up having to be a character like that in many games we play. So zombies are fine by me 😅 But yeah I get scam vibes from this game...

'Mixed up' eh? You just wanted to shut us up. 😂 Thanks bud

Is this something that is still active? I enjoy a bit of Minecraft every now and again.

SMG's are next I got the BAS-P Gold tonight I don't usually run SMGs as I struggle with the recoil on them but I'm finding you can create some sensible builds making them more manageable to my playstyle.

much better @GazzaGarratt top job 🙂

Just keeps getting worse and worse

Looks interesting - a lot of The Division vibes but the trailer stinks a bit of Cyberpunk's marketing approach. I'll keep my eyes on this but raw gameplay is needed The Day Before on Steam STORE.STEAMPOWERED.COM The Day Before is an open-world MMO survival set in a deadly, post-pandemic America overrun by flesh-hungry infected and survivors killing each other for food, weapons, and cars. You wake up alone in a...

With the announcement of the Minecraft better together update which supports cross play we've chatted about having an FG server. Last time though we never pulled the trigger as it still hadn't been rolled out to all platforms. Chatting to Matty @Misneach_ the other day about quite enjoying playing on a vanilla server, he checked and the better together is now across all platforms. So PC, PS4/5. Xbox's, Switch, phones and tablets alike can all play together on the same server and with discord available for free, it's easy to all chat together too. What is Minecraft? I think most people know of the game but having had a few conversations with FG'ers not everyone knows the game. In short, Minecraft is an open world sandbox game with the aim to traverse and survive the 3 dimensions and ultimately kill the 2 bosses, the Wither and Ender Dragon. Along the way you can take the short route, the long, manually mine and harvest resources or set up automatic farms, build, trade, fight - it's up to you. How to join; If you're on console or mobile device, the version you download will be the correct version. For PC, you will need to make you download the version which in most places it is referred to as the "Windows 10 version" (if you want to cross play do NOT get the java edition). If you're new to MC on the PC then you will need to buy it however, if you had an old java account you could, and maybe still can, claim a free Windows 10 copy. Actually joining the server, you will need an invite, however Matt has set the server up as friends of friends, so one of us already on the server should be able to chuck an invite your way if you want to join. We just need your Microsoft account name to send you a friends request and invite. I'm sure there's something important I'm missing but any questions just ask and I'll update this post to include the Q&A's.

I cant post in PPR'S for some reason. Other threads is ok.

Thanks, thats what I thought. Is it HC mode in this COD?

Hipfire 99% of the time

Always go tight, helps with ADS and hipfire consistently. Only exception is if your playing Hardcore, wider pellets are usually better for more spread.

I steal this thread for a minute.. on shotties, is it best with a tight or wide pellet spread? Cant remember what I used in earlier cods.. Given the hit detection, I lean to a tight spread..

Send us over a pic of the error please Kenny - I've just quoted Brede and it seems to work fine for me but could be some weird permissions perhaps.

Same here, If I goto the PPRs Category I can't see any PPRs and if I go into them from the Activity list I cannot post.

Looks decent - a mix of Wargame and Generals with some nice attention to detail with the effects

Thanks @Antpool84 for organising this, it really has been a great thing to keep going through the WInter months and brings a lot of us together when we don't see much of us online sometimes. I definitely think we'll have some more to join us next year. I'm expecting to get some more Americans in early so they have no choice ( @TigerBurge @Jason cough cough) but also new people should really give this a go too. I know @Ally is keen on getting involved next time!

I agree with you and I think that, much like many 3D films, many games do it as a gimmick or addon. However a game like Alyx, much like Avatar for films, that is made specifically for VR then it can show off VR in it’s best light. Though on second thoughts, I’d probably go for niche rather than gimmicky as the adjective of choice. Which ties in to, as you said, the types of games people play. Unlike 3D films though, VR seems to have more of a foot hold so maybe we’ll end up with Ready Player One and look back at this era as we do today to tiny black and white tv’s.

Now delayed until March 2023. Bloody knew it! Developers silence spoke volumes The Day Before: Steam's Most Wishlisted Game Shifts to Unreal Engine 5, But Gets a Delay NORDIC.IGN.COM The open world survival MMO will now arrive in March 2023. Probably wont even arrive then. Yet another title I will happily pass on.

Any chance I can get one of them sweet invites to the server?

Is this still running by any chance?

The Division Z is looking pretty cool. I could get into this.

Cheers buddy. Will let him crack on tomorrow

Done @Stretch616

Same here...just need to dig! 😎

Wow, I'm super impressed with the imagination you guys have for building! I just don't have that creativity in my mind 🤔.

Update time 🙂 Matt continues to work on his castle is (currently) the biggest build in the little FG village. Though Mike has started outlining a build on top of the hill next door. I think he said with the intention of maybe joining it in to Matt's castle which would make it a pretty big build. While the house on the hill which, I think, was built by James and Lee has also gained an extension of a tower. Jordie has decided to move a bit closer than his first base so has moored his Dreamboat on the river at the foot of Mike's work in progress The storage room has finally got an outside too, I decided to go with something that leaves no doubt as to what the building is for 😄 And lastly we've also gained a villager trading hall next door to the storage Currently it has 8 prisoners...I mean volunteers in captivity, 4 farmers to trade crops for emeralds one each for wheat, beetroot, potatoes and carrots. Though they all do melons and pumpkins which is the easiest as they're both can be farmed automatically. I've done some trading so we're starting to build up a supply of emeralds in the storage room. The other 4 are enchanted books and the sign above their heads tells you what each sells. I've also traded with them and left a supply of each book in the chests above their heads. Each villager has been zombified and cured so should be offering most things at a rate of 1 emerald. If the figure is higher it's because they've been traded with recently and if you wait a day or 2 in game their prices should come back down. Currently have trades for; Mending (armour and tools get repaired as you gain XP) Impaling 4 (I think there's an impaling 5 but two impaling 4 books can be combined should anyone want this) Looting 3 (Gives you better / more loot when killing passive or hostile mobs) Aqua Affinity (goes on your helmet and allows you mine faster under water) Fire Protection 4 (exactly what it says on the tin, protects you from fire so you take less damage if you're set on fire. Best combined with Protection, Blast Protection and Projectile Protection but we don't have them yet) Infinity (goes on your bow and means you only need 1 arrow in your inventory to fire an infinite number of arrows) On the list still to get; Unbreaking 3 (tools and armour wear out slower) Efficiency 5 (tools mine quicker) Fortune 3 (get more drops when mining ores) Silk Touch (get the block you mine, stone won't turn in to cobblestone etc. and you can also mine glass and other breakable blocks) Sharpness (goes on sword or axe and increases damage) Protection (goes on your armour and does exactly what it says) Blast Protection (goes on your armour and does exactly what it says) Projective Protection (goes on your armour and also does what it says) Feather Falling (you can fall further without losing health or lose less health if you fall a long way) Respiration (Stay under water longer) Depth Strider (Move faster in water) Smite 5 (goes on your sword or axe and does extra damager to undead mobs; zombies, skeletons, drowned, wither skeletons and the wither boss) Knockback (goes on your sword and maybe your axe but knocks enemies back when you hit them - great for creepers as it can knock them out of exploding range) Fire Aspect (goes on your weapons and sets mobs on fire when you hit them) Flame (same as fire aspect above but for your bow) Power (goes on your bow and increases arrow damage) By my count that is 21 enchants so with 4 farmers, we will have 25 villagers. So while I think I've covered the important enchants, we have 7 slots spare if there's any you want that I have missed. Any spare slots at the end, I'll probably fill with tool/weapon smiths to save us always having use diamonds to make tools and weapons.

Welcome back Anna @craftofboredom Great to see you back. It’s annoying when life gets in the way but hope it’s treating you well. Of course you’re welcome though, once an FG’er always an FG’er. I assume you’ll be on PC? so you can download the windows 10 version of Minecraft and click the invite link Misneach posted above. Let us know when you’re hoping on and I’ll give you the tour 🙂

Of course there is, pretty much smack bang in the middle of the first screenshot. Go down the stairs then drop down the hole. To come back up just walk in to the water.

@Grebothdoes it have a mine yet? (begins stretching exercises)

I've joined. I'm not sure what use I'll be but I'll be there to do something 😅.

Nice one guys, logged into the server as smooth as butter 👍

A quick Google suggests there are third party methods for have 2 discord accounts on one PC. However I've no experience with any of them to recommend any so this would be at your own risk and your mileage may vary. Given how easy it is to use Discord on a mobile device, the easiest way (and potentially safest) would be the PC user logs in on the PC and the PS4 user joins using a phone.

As one of my kids borrows my gta 5 disk guess they can return the favour with minecraft. If one is on pc the other on ps4 would they need to chat via a different device to use discord?

Must admit this trailer pulled me in a lot more than the previous one. I'll say this, if the combat/gun play feels good, I'm now actually interested in this game.

Feels a bit off and like a cheapo version of The Division which is essentially what it is The devs really need to start selling the concept and what differentiates it from that game.

It's what we're all thinking
