I’ve seen it getting bashed but honestly, Matt, Cal, Aaron, Marc and I have all really been enjoying it so far, guess it just comes down to taste like with everything else in the end. I have to admit I love the party system as you can be in a group but all 3 of you can be doing different things should you want to, but all of you still get rewards for quests/missions done by anyone in the group. My one gripe so far which made crossplay with Marc a tiny bit annoying is that there’s no game chat what so ever. So would have to link psn and discord I guess. Not had too many bugs so far, been the odd one every now and then but compared to other games close to release this is nothing. (Thank fuck it’s not another cyberpunk)

It's so weird that you say this as I reinstalled it on Friday. @techno and I were gonna have a little play but a 132gb download quickly put an end to that. It's fully updated and ready to go though, maybe I'll even put something in the calendar for Friday. I'm so bored of cod it's unreal. I even subbed to WoW for a month to see if that would keep me busy but after running a few dungeons I'm just bored again. Helldivers 2 looks ace but my days of spending cash on games that get played a few times and then get abandoned are done, I'm only spending cash on stuff I really intent to get stuck in to. I really wish Playstation would give trial periods of games, even just an hour to get a feel for it is usually enough. That being said, it is payday on Friday and this sweetens the deal even more: 15% off PlayStation Gift Cards - from £4.25 for £5 to £85 for £100 | hotukdeals WWW.HOTUKDEALS.COM

So... I'd suggest Destiny 2. In June. 4th June to be exact. I'm partly joking but also not. We've all had a break for over a year, I intend to keep away even further until June. DLC will close the story off we've played for 10 years. Seems fitting to play it with all the QoL enhancements we've not seen. Lots of FGers here too still haven't got into it and if we all did around the same time it'll be a better experience. No grinding, just play different experiences with everyone. You'd probably enjoy that if you did just work yourself around all the experiences as objectives for us to do together. You just need a game for the next 4 months mate - Helldivers 2 and CoD will cover that period 😉

Hey everyone, I’m Andy and I’m a massive fan of multiplayer games, mostly Fifa and COD (Warzone). Over recent weeks I find myself wanting to be more involved with gaming communities and my good friend Welchy recommended Forever Gaming as a great community to join. The last time I was part of a gaming community was back when OSRS started to die down and coders started making private servers for OSRS, so if you ever played LostPKZ many years ago you may have come across me. I’ll try to be as active as I can be and you may see me upload gaming reviews, I’m currently writing a review for EA Sports FC 24 which I hope to finish over the next few days. Anyway, I look forward to chatting to you all and being part of the community. Andy

Control 2 is already in the works! Control 2 - Remedy Entertaiment WWW.REMEDYGAMES.COM Remedy Entertainment has signed an agreement with 505 Games to co-develop and co-publish Control 2...

I'm glad to see some of you are having fun with it. I'm interested, but I just can't warrant dropping that much money on another live service game. I wish gamepass and ubisoft+ were linked.

Agree with you on the combat. It didn't feel great at all, but serviceable to what you had to do. I'm looking forward to the next entry. I also wouldn't mind seeing a Control sequel.

I just beat the story for Alan Wake 2 last night! Overall, I enjoyed the experience, however I did find the combat to be quite clunky and unsatisfying. I actually much preferred the combat in the original Alan Wake. I actually didn’t like Saga’s mind place as much as I was hoping. Alan’s plot board was a little better but still not quite what I was hoping for. The visuals are phenomenal and I loved the way they used live action footage, Remedy are definitely the masters of this right now! The voice acting is also fantastic for basically every character in the game! Speaking of characters, I really enjoyed all the new characters, and the reoccurring ones! Saga Anderson is great and hopefully a staple in the series going forward. The story is … great! But it’s a real mindfu**! Obviously this game is part of the RCU (Remedy Connected Universe), so has links to Control. You can play Alan Wake 2 as its own game, but it definitely helps to play Alan Wake and Control first. It’s the kind of story which leaves you with more questions than answers, and it wants to come up with your own theories about what has happened and why it’s happening. I’m really hoping there are others here on the site that have beat the game, as it’s definitely a game that you could spend hours debating and theorising! Anyone played it and have their thoughts? If I had to put a score on it, I would give it an 8.5/10!

This is getting such a panning it's hilarious. What does this do that Sea of Thieves doesn't?

Had my reservations about this game due to the amount of delays. It's not what I was hoping deep down that it would be, but it's better than expected. Land movement annoyed me a bit the first maybe hour of playing, then I progressed far enough to where I could get a proper ship and some cannons and boy... This game is epic. Combat is actually challenging, progression actually feels like you've worked for it and properly earned the upgrades you get. I think on saturday I spent a good 10 hours playing the demo and 3 of those were me just working to get the best ship available in that demo. There's so much to explore, plunder to be had, upgrades to farm for and ways to earn silver and infamy that I have to admit, I fell in love with this game and by the time the beta ended last night I was pissed at myself for not having been on the ball earlier in the week to get the demo on the 8th to maximize my playtime 😅 Hell I only fucking found the black market 2 hours before servers went down on sunday I was that busy burning every port to the ground. The few things I didn't attempt was mainly the pvp events and also the sea monster event. I did try going after elite captains and also the ghost ships but it's near impossible while solo. (hint hint nudge nudge people, get on the ball!) Did have anamerican budy join me on sunday for a bit but he was hours and hours of progression behind me, it does seem like quests completed while in a group counts for everyone though, as he was completing his early quests I still got silver for them, not sure if I would have gotten infamy as well as I had already reached the max infamy rank available in the demo. Overall I have to admit I quite enjoyed the grind to get better ships, weapons and armor and finding combinations of these that worked for me. It's time consuming but this can be sped up in a group as you can send your friends materials, guns, blueprints and all kinds of things. So if anyone is ahead of the pack you could help out others that find the grind tedious or simply can't get the required items to progress due to enemies being too hard for them to fight. As for how many can play together I've seen both 3 and 5 mentioned and the menu in the demo looked like it had room for more than 3, so I'm not 100% sure. But, I'm willing to bet you can get more of your friends on the same server and then split into several smaller groups but still take on elite captains, ghost ships, sea monsters and bounties all together as any player ship can do this without being in the same group as you. Pvp also seems to be off unless you go for the pvp events so sorry @Diddums you wont be able to ram everyone to try and sink them if you end up playing this 🤣 Honestly very excited for the full release, I've seen their planned roadmap as well and there seems to be quite a bit of content they intend to add in so I can see myself spending many an hour on the open sea plunderin' fer booty! Yo, ho, haul together Hoist the colors high Heave ho, thieves and beggars Never shall we die
