Hi everyone, casual gamer here. Hopefully get some games of Arc Raiders going with some of you

Welcome to FG mate, hope you enjoy your stay. If you still play GT7 let us know too, a few of us play that, though not for a bit....and maybe it's time we had another race night : )

Never seen a demise like this since Sega.

COD Poster-child and Activsion shill Fazz Swagg got banned on the first day. He's been banned from every COD title in recent years and has been caught cheating numerous times on several accounts whilst streaming. Also cheated during the Battlefield preview event and Activision famously paid him and his friends to provide fake trailer reactions It was also funny to see so many big streamers struggle yesterday because their Cronus software hasn't been released yet and no cheats have bypassed the secure boot yet.

Ok so I've hit level 20, been playing every night since I bought it on Saturday. This game is basically e-crack. Anyway, I've learned quite a bit, some of it isn't in any of the millions of Youtube videos and I had to figure it out myself so I'll drop those pearls of wisdom all over bones' mum the thread. Firstly, and this is imo one of the three biggest things to know about this game, is that you can drop in for any reason you want. Sometimes I'll just grab a free loadout, hoarde as much shit as I can and then extract. This is howI strongly suggest everyone start, as picking fights WILL lead to some of the most hilarious, devastating and embarrassing deaths. These robots are out to kill, and kill you they will. For your first hour or two, the free loadout will be your friend. You have nothing to lose so can go balls-to-the-wall with it, and if you die, nothing lost. Secondly is the attitude towards loot. Loot is everywhere in this game. Find a building? Full of loot. Find a car? Could have loot. Kill a robot? Full of loot. Kill a dude? Full of loot. It's everywhere, and habit says that you need to hoarde as much as you can. Whilst this is good when you're running low on resources, you can also end up collecting a load of shit which isn't useful at that point in time. You'll also suffer from "gear fear", ie. dropping in and then getting killed, losing all your shit in the process. This hurts the first few times, but once you adjust your mentatlity to realise that you can hustle up most of that stuff again in a few rounds with a free loadout and it's all gravy. Don't be too precious about loot, you're gonna lose it anyway. Thirdly is the unlocks and upgrades. Stuff like workbench upgrades, Scrappy upgrades, skills, etc are all permanent. These are your focus, the gear and loot is merely a way of getting there. Fourth is don't pick fights randomly. These robots are absolutely ruthless and WILL fuck you up if you're caught off guard or aggro then when you're not prepared. Even the tiny ones can be a pain in the ass and many will also call for backup, so make sure you're prepared before engaging. Rule no. 1 is never, ever engage out in the open, as they'll retaliate and your peace will be shattered in to a small little skirmish of death. Make sure you've got cover, make sure you've cleared out the room you're using as cover, and be aware of your surroundings. I've got shitloads more but I'll leave it at this for now. There are also tons of third party resources which help a ton, I'll link to them later. Get on this game. It's bloody good and bloody entertaining. Often hilarious.

Cheers @Diddums. Last night was first full night on it and I'm finally getting it all. The playloop is great, just the UI doesn't initially help you in that fact. I'd say one of the biggest things it doesn't tell you to do but to help you on your journey is to 'Track Resources' for all bench installs and level up upgrades. Its like extra mini objectives alongside the main quests the game gives you. Helps you then focus on specific loot rather than it all because there is absolutely shed loads the game gives you and you can feel like you are full within a minute of spawning in. Its good to be in a group and share what things that people may need so we're all looking for 5-6 things on each run and we can share and help each other with whatever we all find. I love that bit about it all, way more objectives then and definitely better feeling than the 'I'm helping' meme in your head.

No, you're wrong there, it's because the servers are fucked and hardly anyone can get on 🙃 It's fucking annoying as I've been trying to get in since 11am when it was supposed to go live 😭 Not entirely unexpected tbh and I can't even get on their website lol

Did not expect something like this but its early access release is imminent Assetto Corsa Rally on Steam STORE.STEAMPOWERED.COM Assetto Corsa Rally is a high-fidelity rally sim built for precision and challenge. With 3D laser-scanned stages and cars, professional co-driver support, and dynamic conditions, it delivers a demanding...

It's only on PC for now but it's £19.99 until 27th November on Steam and I am now tempted 🤪

I think that's what will happen to Microsoft - they'll become an overnight publisher for Activision, Bethesda, Halo Studios and all the other dying brands they own. They may dabble in cloud gaming to try and maintain an Xbox presence but that will ultimately flop I reckon as a non-viable concept. Sega died because of the prowess of the Playstation but Microsoft killed Xbox spectacularly and they've also destroyed so many developers too. The sooner they vacate this space, the better.

Looks like a good start for this game. Needs more time for me to see how close they can get to WRC where that now is quite fleshed out as an experience for rallying. Does look gorgeous though and something about rallying from Colin McRae days that its so unique that it makes it a great game to get into.

Hi Paul! Welcome to FG, Lee here! 😄 I think Arc Raiders is gathering some great momentum so hopefully we can get in some games online with you soon! Always been a PS guy? Most of us are now these days. Well that and PC anyway. Hope you enjoy your stay, nice to see you're already having a look and getting involved everywhere! ❤️🖤

uh... wheres the farm?

ARC Raiders

IDK who sucked off whom to get the world cup here, but it really needs to be moved elsewhere.

Yea the CGI was top notch in those movies. If it wasn't for the MMC (LeBouf/ Wahlberg), those movies would have been absolutely amazing

So thinking of downloading this today (Friday). Fairly new to PVP type extraction games, so don't really know what to expect, but I am finding a lot of games stale and too formulaic at the moment, so need something different. Will probably be a weekend game with some week nights due to working patterns. Ps5 player, using a Steelseries headset and possibly in the future a dual sense edge (just for thr custom button profiles mainly) Edit: Played for a couple of hours this afternoon, loving it!!

I'm sorry baldy 🤣 A very stupid way to get arrested and what a waste of resources but it cracks me up every time I see it.

England are playing against Serbia right now. In theory playing for a place in this summer's World Cup, however England already qualified, so no stress. The World Cup will be taking place in a few American cities so you'll have lots of games in your time zone to enjoy 🏆

Getting pretty decent feedback : )

I wish I knew enough about yalls leagues, teams, etc... to have an opinion here, I base my opinion purely off who has the best 3 letter name.

yea, thats where I am at as well. Especially once the Steam console/ pc comes out. Shit I might even sell all of my 40k stuff to get that thing sooner. I could put it in the living room and then the wife and I can game again

I kind of feel like Blackburn have turned a corner, at least on the pitch, I'm pretty ignorant about the rest. As for the Prem, I did not foresee LFC having some major issues, it's definitely been a more interesting league the last couple of years. Just waiting for the Arse to bottle it again 🤭 Please.

I checked and my Gamepass subscription for December increased to £22.99. I have now cancelled the subscription and I doubt I'll ever own another Microsoft console ever again. Xbox 360 was a great console and experience, and they have completely fumbled the ball since then.
