Server situation is completely unacceptable right now. Was really hoping to pick it up but there were apparently hundreds of thousands of users who couldn't get in all weekend and the servers were also overwhelmed with AFKers clogging up the joint. Server capacity was also capped at 450,000 yet Steam had a peak of 330.000 accessing the services. If they are going to go down the live service route so they can attach their shitty microtransaction plague of a store then they really need to cope with the demand or keep the game local only with P2P and basic online service access. Servers in this day and age for a game of this nature should be expecting between 2-5m active players so capping at less than half a million is a joke and it's not like it's release weekend either. Very poor showing. 

I have to agree I think it’ll be a bad thing if Microsoft go the streaming way only and stop making consoles. Sony always have that motivation/challenge from Microsoft to keep developing the best console and games and if no one is challenging them, then the quality could go down. 

Whilst I agree that it’ll be good for PS5 owners, I think it’s important to consider that IF Microsoft/Xbox do pull out of the console hardware market, then who challenges PlayStation? What’s stopping Sony from charging £700 for the PS6? Nintendo aren’t really trying to compete at the high end powerful console level, so it would just be PlayStation.
 
Xbox are in a really difficult position, by focusing so much on Game Pass they have cornered themselves into this position. Particularly with a lot of their most popular franchises being multiplayer (Gears, Halo, now COD), these games benefit from having a large player base … best way to get that is to have them on all consoles.
 
We need to see what Xbox say about these rumours next week, but right now I am worried for the future of the video games market if this is all true.

So, after playing the BETA over the weekend, I can honestly say I had so much fun playing this.
 
The starting section seemed to drag a bit and was almost turning me off the experience until I youtubed how to collect fucking wood 😂
 
Once you get your own bigger ship, that's when the fun starts. I can only imagine how fun playing with friends will be. An FG Friday with a bunch of us scallywags ruling the high seas could be glorious.
 
Did anyone else play? Also, does anyone else think they're going to pay the hefty price tag for the console version? 

The circus has come to Blackburn and unfortunately I can't see good times for a while. 3rd time in a row we've cocked up paperwork and the final minute for a big transfer, results have been awful for months, club captain loaned away to Ipswich, and now JDT likely not to be in charge before Saturday's game.
 
For a postive person in life that I am, its really bloody hard to see many positives right now. No idea what the owners want out of our club. They still pay the bills, but sometimes in life we know you can't just get by with the minimum as more may be needed now more than ever in terms of building relationships.
 
I really hope the players dig one out on Saturday. Even a scruffy 1-0 win would be a lovely present to try and dig ourselves out of this mess.

I played this with @Luseth and @Lurchzy a few weeks ago. I won't lie that I stuggled with the actual gameplay. Shooting feels a little rusty and blocky. Really good for a free game but nowhere near the level of Apex Legends, Halo or Destiny FPS shooters gunplay. The gamemodes seem fun and definitely Ienjoy different spins on how the game can pan out across 4 teams against each other. The chaotic scenes when you try and go for a specific vault are initially hilarious...and then it quickly turned into chaotic sillyness because i felt like I couldn't get anywhere near the vault due to all the destruction.
 
Reminds of that harsh grind of learning Overwatch for 25 levels before we could play Competitive. Definitely need to be in the full squad of 3 to get some enjoyment out of the game.

Had fun playing this last night. It's a decent game.

Must've gone 20+ games unbeaten last night which was fun!

Mitch said the same thing last night in the party about the campaign being rubbish... Shame really.

Disappointed, probably won't be playing any of these.

Hamilton to join Ferrari in 2025.

Formula 1 Topic Thread.

Disappointed, probably won't be playing any of these.

I borrowed Steel Rising from a mate, didnt fancy it. 

As much as these games don’t appeal to me personally, I am always happy when PlayStation offer brand new games releasing on the service day one! I think they should do more of this.
 
I will definitely try out Foamstars, unlikely il try the others.
 
 

What is the bull shit.

I'm just trying to work through camo's now. I play Hardcore so it doesn't really matter which gun you use.
One thing to add is that on EVERY class I have Covert Sneakers and the Assassin Vest. I like to be a stealth bastard.

On my own here we go.

Beltaahhh!

Jürgen Klopp has decided to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

Getting Ndombele off the books probably helped.

Everton and Nottingham are looking at further charges laid against them this week.

On my own here we go.

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
