It's on par for sure.

Shouldn't you be posting something in your PPR? I'm sure your PC can handle your PPR right? Hint fucking hint? 😄

No jokes, this is the best community in the world.

Very. When I started playing it I literally couldn't stop until I'd finished it. The graphics were just gravy, the game itself was excellent. The plot twist halfway through the story was a bit shit but worked out fine in the end. I loved it so much I also bought Crysis: Warhead which was kinda-sorta a DLC but it just didn't feel the same, it already had a bit of a hint of the game wanting a slice of the CoD pie. The original game was one where you needed to actively think about how to approach certain situations or you'd get pancaked, but Warhead was basically "take gun, kill stuff". 2 was the result of them wanting to cash in on the name by bringing it to console and it showed, the massive open world was gone, it was now an a-b shooter designed for consoles, extremely disappointing. 3 was just.... no.

I'm happy to take bank transfers in to my bookies account and set up a recurring standing order to the Paypal account if that makes things easier 🙂

Hahaha, we knew you'd be back. We didn't think you'd fuck up your username, but we knew you'd be back! How you doing mate? How's life in the Coronaworld treating you?

Welcome to the forum dude, you're gonna blend right in! How'd you end up here out of curiosity? We're always looking for ways to expand our horizons and any info we get is a goldmine! Cheers!

Day 8: As humanity continues to descend in to a primal state of ferocity and self-serving passive aggression, the structures once known as “supermarkets” are evolving in to huge PVP arenas where combat takes place in the form of ferocious tutting and sighing, with some clan members even resorting to the strategic placement of trollies to defend their self-claimed patch of shelving, forever in the hope that another packet of Tesco Value Lasagne will be placed in front of them by the Food Gods of Tesco, enabling them to return to their tribal village, triumphant in their quest to obtain more supplies from the PVP arena. At the doors of these arenas, the mods are struggling to hold the crowds of undead back, receiving their orders from the game master over a walking-talking device. These mods will eventually succumb to the non-stop pleas of players to allow them to enter which will unleash the tide and the structure will complete its evolution in to a survival deathmatch arena. The mod will be overthrown and will have to enter the Safe Zone behind what was once known as a cigarette counter, only for a new mod to rise up in its place. This mod will eventually dethrone the Game Master and will assemble an army who will construct a vehicle out of trollies. This vehicle will become the new GM’s combat vehicle, propelled by the undead who have committed to a life of servitude in the hope of getting a bite of the GM’s last chicken drumstick which is strategically hung from a rope made of Andrex toilet paper. Nobody knows where this story will end. The undead are becoming more contagious, slowly losing more and more of the mask they used to cover the fact that they were nothing more than slightly evolved primates all along. The wars will continue. The food will be eaten. The arses will be wiped. But at what cost? This is the world we live in. Be strong out there. Resist the urge to become an undead and cherish the moments you had with those who are weak of mind and gave in, for they will never get to have a bite of the GM’s chicken drumstick no matter how hard they push that trolley. God save us all.

Cheers y'all, happy birthday to Brede too!

I'm not entirely sure to be honest, have you googled it? Thanks to those of you who have signed up, it's very much appreciated! I'll do an audit soon and find out who's getting a silver star ❤️

This will have nothing to do with that. Most of the OG blizzard crew have left, they want to start another company because ever since Blizz became a sellout to Activi$ion their creativity and visions have been flung in the bin for nothing other than greed, just look at the WC3 fiasco. They've let slip a few times what their intentions are, I fully expect another Infinity Ward / Respawn thing all over again. As for the gay thing? He could've at least done a fucking unicorn which shoots rainbows out its ass before leaving, I've always wanted to be that in a game.

Well that got your attention then didn't it? TL;DR we want £2 a month. This, in the current climate, is less than the price of a pint, or a half of loo roll. As most of you will know we had a bit of a thing today, nothing we couldn't handle but the end result is that we need to chip in monthly to prevent it happening again. Now in the past I've kept this shit as anonymous as possible because not everyone can afford to chip in to some of our fundraisers but come on, £2 a month. Even @crispymorgan can't say no to that. So, this is a plea, chip in £2 a month please. I'll personally be going balls deep and more than doubling the amount to a fiver a month. (it sounds so baller when you can throw these large numbers around and still only be a fiver lol). Please set up a recurring payment to: Paypal: forevergaming.co.uk@gmail.com Alright you bums, get on it. ktnx, Cheers, Diddums PA to the Dean (Leigh Gazzagarratt) The Internet 666 LOL Internetland

Imma list these in order of importance, most important being at the top. You have two XP bars. One is your blood rank which is permanent no matter what. Think of it as your player level. Your hunters have their own levels, and once a hunter dies, all those levels, unlocks, xp, weapons, everything, is lost with him. LOOPHOLE TIME! Up until blood rank 11, your hunters won't permadeath. For this reason you want to stick to one hunter and level him up as much as possible. Then when you are almost at blood rank 11, retire this hunter. All the XP he's earned will be put in to your blood rank level, unlocking loads of free shit. Think of it as 11 levels of free xp. You'll lose the hunter, but let's be honest, you were gonna lose him anyway. Melee combat. This is the single biggest game changer for me. Once you learn the melee system, the game changes completely. Let me explain. There are two melee attacks: normal and charged. To charge up a melee attack you simply hold the button down for a second. You can move whilst it's charged, so charge up, run to a zombie and thwack him in the face. This will disorient it so you can hit it again. Rinse and repeat and you'll kill it without taking a single hitpoint of damage. This applies to Grunts (normal zombies), armoureds (the ones that look like they're wearing a nice fur coat), and immolators (the ones that are on fire, ie NOT the ones that are holding something that's on fire. For a Grunt, it takes one charged hit and one normal hit to take them down. There are also two types of melee: blunt and piercing, and each monster will have different reactions to each. An immolator for example will only explode when pierced, so you can safely walk up to one and batter the fuck out of it with a mallet. A pitchfork however will pierce it and then that motherfucker's gonna assplode and set you on fire. Learn their weaknesses folks. Also, the two types of damage are reflected in the various weapons found on the map. A mallet for example is obviously blunt and a pitchfork is obviously poking. All guns do blunt melee damage unless they have a bayonet attached, in which case their melee damage type changes to piercing, changing the weapon completely. Detail is the name of the game here, and learning all the various tips and tricks will massively improve your game. All monsters have three states: bored, alerted, and imma-eat-you. These are all noticeably different so getting to know what's what will tell you if there are other hunters nearby. Their behaviour changes, as do their sounds. Clues will make a noise and glow red if other hunters are nearby. The range is 32m, so if a clue is glowing red, that means an enemy hunter is within 32m. It will also make a noise which can be heard from a few meters away. This does not apply to clues which you've opened. Clues which the enemy has opened will have a hole in the middle, clues which are untouched will still have the crusty bit in the middle. The game has cages in compounds. These contain dogs or chickens, or might not contain anything at all. The difference can be seen a mile away: cage red - bad guys inside. Cage grey - empty. Occupied cages will always have a lantern hanging above it. Shooting the lantern will burn everything inside the cage. If a cage is red but empty, it means a hunter has killed everything. Water devils, those weird tentacle things in... you guessed it... water, are not killable. Two gun shots will disabled them for 10 seconds, after which point they're return. They also often hunt in packs, so just because you've disabled one, don't think the water is safe. Be very observant. Dogs always come in packs of two or four. Again, just because you've killed two, doesn't mean you're safe. There could be two more. Ducks and crows, like anything else, have three states. They'll go in to an alert state when you or anyone else gets too close, and fly away when triggered. The time between alert and triggered is determined by your distance, and duration in their range. Their fuse is extremely short however, in most cases once alerted, it's impossible to stop them triggering. One very important part here is that they will always fly away from the direction they've been triggered from. If you hear them flying off, look which direction they're flying from, there's a hunter there. Spawns are all over the outer edge of the maps at set spawn points but are completely random. When you first start, stand still for 10 seconds and just listen. Listen for anything, and gauge distance, this is the most important time of any match to learn as much as you can about enemies and locations. If it's completely silent, you're likely alone, but enemies can spawn as close as 30m away from you, so be alert. This is the easiest time to gain the upper hand and nab a kill or two. Think that's all for now. Happy hunting you glorious psychos! @Nutcuttlit @J&B @Stretch616 @GazzaGarratt @phil bottle @tronic44 Pls tag anyone else who has it ktnx.

Fucking loving this game. Honestly it's so refreshing to play, really keeps me on my toes. Last night I managed to get a couple of games in, one with @phil bottle which went exactly as we'd expected, and one with @tronic44 which went rather well, we killed the spider and extracted without running in to a player once. I will say that the shock and tension is starting to wear off which is great because it allows me to concentrate on my shooting and hunting. I'll do a new thread for tips and tricks.

Turn your sensitivity down to the lowest and build it up. Saying "play on sensitivity x" means nothing as there are a load more variables at play which dictate how fast your cursor moves in relation to your hand movements. Some people will say that playing on sensitivity 1 is best for them, whilst others will say "lol noob I play on 10" - what neither of these super elite CoD players realise is that there's a 50k DPI difference in their mice so they're playing on the same effective sensitivity. Christ one thing I learned very quickly on Sunday was that I seem to have lost all ability to aim with MKB, so I'm also starting low and building up until I'm happy with it. I can't hit the broad side of a barn at the moment.

Oh you've got it on PS4 right? They need to enable crossplay sharpish dammit.

Thanks to having some of the most amazing friends in the world, I now own this on PC. Let me first state that I had zero interest in this game. I judge games a lot by the folks who play them, and Rachel, Phil, @Nutcuttlit, @J&B and a few others all have one thing in common: survival games. These games aren't my bag, I need an end, an objective, something to achieve. I thought that this was going to be just another survival game with a bit of a twist. I couldn't have been more wrong. First off, with everything maxed out at 3440x1440, I never dip below 70fps. For a game which is this stunning, that's seriously impressive, but then let's not forget that this is the studio behind "but can it run Crysis". I did the tutorial mission and killed the spider, but not once I'd thoroughly shat myself. Holy shit, what a mindfuck. I then hopped in a few games with @phil bottle and @tronic44 and the tension in this game is like nothing I've ever experienced before. The immersion and atmosphere is on a whole different level. The monsters are quite possibly the most fucked up things I've seen in a game since STALKER. The sound design in this game is also ridiculously good. The amount of times we were just walking around only to shit ourselves because of some fucking birds is ridiculous. We lost every match I was in but this game is very different to anything I'm used to so it's going to take a bit of practice. It's a bit Battle Royale, a bit Escape from Tarkov and even a bit of Gambit from Destiny. The ideas and concept behind the game are superb. I've not yet mastered the whole hunter customization thing, will need to have a go at that tonight maybe. Oh and at one point Phil and I were approaching a building when I saw an immolator walking around on a roof. I remarked to Phil about how awesome it looks, Phil says "yeah they can also run at you like motherfuckers" and at that literal exact moment I turn around to see one of these cunts bearing down on me at a billion miles an hour only to explode in my face. That moment will forever be etched in my memory and is hopefully a sign of things to come. TL;DR, graphics are superb, sound is superb, gameplay is superb, I think this could be a good one for a while.

Yeah I think I'll pass.

This do ya? I'll pop it in the post this evening 🙂

What happened with your PC in the end? RAM sorted? Keep me updated on this one pls, if it's a hardware issue it needs resolving before your warranty is up. Also, I highly recommend all of you watch this video, there's a load of very useful stuff in here beyond the most barebones beginner stuff. This is where I learned about the backpack and mining stuff. I'll be concentrating on this this weekend:

Philly I split your post as it was in the events section and merged it with mine, we were both typing out our excitement at the same time!

I got a couple of hours in last night. Not as much as I'd have liked but it was a start nonetheless. The whole session was full of little niggly things: Leigh's PC was giving him trouble again. Dave's headset was giving him trouble. Nobody was showing up on the party system. Loads of little simple things which I suspect we'll have sussed in no time. That said, the foundation is there. With a bit more practice and experience I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes my next WoW. At one point I was even doing a bit of showy-offy flying, until I crashed. I will say however for that very brief moment I felt like a god, able to out maneuver anything that came my way. In fact, I felt a little bit like Khan in that scene where he's attacking Starfleet in Star Trek: Into Darkness (epic film, absolute must watch if you haven't already). Here's the scene: Now that being said, I decided to use my trusty Mustang Alpha because it's my ship that I own so regardless of what happens, that little beastie is always mine so I wanted to practice flying in it, so I left the big one which we've got on loan which in hindsight was stupid, I should've taken that big ass freighter and abused the fuck out of it to make as much bank as I can whilst I've got it. Anyway, I accepted a little package collection mission, a bit like that Death Stranding game but with spaceships. I went halfway across the galaxy to collect the package, realised I couldn't put it in my ship, so left it on the surface of whatever planet it came from and stuck a Hermes card in the mailbox, fuck 'em. I then had to go find some chump who went spelunking and got lost and died, spent over an hour in a cave searching for this Darwin award winner and couldn't find him so gave up. To my amazement however, I managed to negotiate the cave fairly well and even got the layout down, if all the caves are the same then I'll be just fine. Then Leigh came on, then Dave, then Rachel, (the Bottle was online for most of the night), and we spent most of the night just ironing out some bugs and stuff and discussing the basics like sensitivity and buttons n shit. All in all I achieved nothing, but the learning curve in this game is basically a wall, and it was fucking ace. I might even hop on tonight and do a bit more, it was honestly the first time in ages I've turned a game off and was legit pissed off I had to. @GazzaGarratt @phil bottle @Plumbers Crack @tronic44

We need a game. There've been murmurs and whispers amongst the gamersphere that people are bored / uninterested in whatever's on the market nowadays. We've got the survival crew, @Nutcuttlit, @ChaosGladiator, @LordBaguette, @Misneach_, @J&B, @fg_cal and whoever else, who enjoy the survival games, I'm talking Ark, Conan, etc. Then there are the FPS players, @Plumbers Crack, @Plumbrodders, @Middle Class Caveman, @Greboth myself, Maz, Gary, Clive, and all the others. Then there are the PC master race which currently consists of @phil bottle, @Greboth, @phil bottle, @GazzaGarratt, @tronic44, myself and whoever else we can rope in to our band of merry men. There are of course the outliers, like @crispymorgan who has decided that hoes go before bros (I jest, bout time he found happiness), @TigerBurge who lacks the determination to hang with the cool kids, etc. @techno is in the middle of a BO4 resurgence because he lacks the testicular fortitude to purchase MW. Now what I'm about to say kills my soul because I know how happy it's going to make Dad / Leigh, but what do all these people, these gamers of various generations, various platforms, various interests have in common? Destiny. Destiny was the game that brought us all together as much as it kills me to admit because I'm so Anti-Destiny at the moment that it kills my soul to play it, but we can't deny that the game dragged all our sorry arses online to get shit done. We need another Destiny. We need another game which: Is on a platform playable to all, which in our case will be PS4. We all enjoy. We can hop on and play whether it be for 10 mins or 8 hours. Destiny 1 fulfilled all of these. Destiny 2 has moments of passing interest and not matter how much certain folks *cough* Leigh *cough* triy to cling on to the memories that D1 created for all of us, the simple fact is that Destiny 2 is not even in the same ballpark. I could go in to the reasoning for it, but that's a thread for another day. So folks. Let's find our game. To start off with, we're all on PS4, so that's a good starting point. I'm not saying quit on PC obviously, but PS4 is the route of least resistance. I want you all to list the games you enjoy, the games you don't enjoy (these can be whole genres too), and we're going to slowly eliminate games that we don't enjoy as a group. For funding, I don't want people to worry, we can work shit out, that's what we do. Criteria for a game: Must be multiplayer in teams of min 4. The cheaper the better, but like I said I don't want people to feel alienated / left out because of a few pences. So get cracking you lazy fucks, find us a game. Much love, Your favourite bastardcunt ❤️

Hi Wolfy, thanks for signing up, that’s such a lovely tune you’ve shared with us!
