Yah. Got two crates yesterday as well. Some kind wanted level up is weapon and we just started doing contracts casually and squad came up and announced they were friendly so we joined up. Wanted to do the weapons cases so we rolled with them. Went really well first time. The kid and I went in again and found another squad  and did the same
 
We were particularly lucky. The extraction was almost right next to the case so we didn't get anyone chasing us. His gun went up like crazy

Just out of curiosity James have you played the game? Or if not where did you get the idea that the dialogue is as bad as you are suggesting? I.e. were we able to see the script pre-release?
 
The fact the keys were not issued to pc gamers is telling of the performance issues that are going to be there, though I do know a couple of people who are playing on pc and said so far they have not really had many major issues.
 
I have this game to play actually so once I have got started with it will put in some views but the signs do suggest that the game is decent but somewhat incomplete may be a better way to put it. I.e. similar to no mans sky and fallout 76 when they first launched? The couple of people I know playing it said that the actual gameplay, traversing of the map and combat etc is actually quite good fun but didn't give much away about the story knowing that I will be playing it. I tend to ignore reviews these day's because they can be such a mixed bag and I can tend to enjoy games that they do not or find that games that reviewers tend to love, I just do not get on with. Couple of recent examples include elden ring (reviewed well and I did not enjoy), days gone (reviewed badly and I enjoyed), dying light (did not review well but was one of my most enjoyable games the past ten years.
 
The NFT decision was a terrible move by square and I think I read something recently that they are still backing their decision? I may be wrong though. Final Fantasy saved them once but as much as I love that series it has mostly gone down the toilet in recent years (the exception being FF14 but it's not one I play). I think a lot of their problems come from poor management.
 
Just as a note, a lot of their "crappy fringe brands" as you point out James are some of the best games they have created in years and tends to be where you find the best that Square has to offer, it is the big games that tend to do much worse and that's because they are trying to make Western style games with a Japanese touch to them, people don't want that from Square (we already have good Western games that then make these look bad). A lot of their greatest games in recent years are the smaller budget one's, I would love any of these to get the same sort of budget that FF or Forspoken has, they could easily be mind blowing games.
Dragon Quest (Their last game rated incredibly high and was old school FF) The builders games were great fun too
Nier (This has quite the cult following now)
Kingdom Hearts certainly isn't going anywhere anytime soon (I thiunk this does get a big budget anyway?)
Star Ocean - Yes the game before was bad but this latest one was heading back in the right direction
Octopath Traveller is getting it's second game and is building into something and I suspect Triangle Strategy will go the same way
Bravely Default is looking more and more likely to get it's next game too.
 
The plus as well is that they do keep trying to bring new IP's to the market, whilst a lot of the Western studios we will just be playing call of duty, ffa (EA Sports FC), dark souls 27 in 20-30 years time.
 
Even Sony's games are much of the same these days and often based on IP's they have had in the brand for quite some time and with Microsoft, have they released anything new since the og xbox?
 
Don't get me wrong Square have made some bad decisions but they have made some good one's too.
 

Very accurate 🤣🤣🤣

Very accurate 🤣🤣🤣

Whenever a developer selects where their keys go to, its always a warning sign as to what to expect so not surprised most (not all) that did receive it have rated the game decent but not setting the world alight.

You probably registered back in 2014 when it was due for release the following year🤣
 

It's installed 🤡

When are you planning on getting the ball rolling? (No pun intended) 😂 Looking forward to the draw!

Yep, we rarely see any honest debate online. Also, shit stirring is profitable and the amount of grifters on there with their click bait content makes it even worse. 

I'll look into it 🫡

Close🤣
 

If I gey a chance will download it when I'm able to get on next.

FIFA 22, not sure if it was on PS Plus or not though, sorry.

There was a chant going "I can't see anything, I can't see anything, I can't see anything, I can't see anything."

Sound fucking wicked mate! Nice one!

Always the case, pushing it a little too far is the name of the game.. It's definitely happened to me. Sounds like you've been doing pretty well otherwise so GGs on that 👍

That was probably one of the best gaming moments I've had in a very long time.
 
I've been really enjoying playing DMZ, think I like the objectives and fast paced gameplay over Warzone.

Thanks for all the kind messages and wishes all! ❤️

I've gotten a lot of people to team up. What I do is I say I can see you, don't shoot or our squad will return fire. I also ask to party up
 
The only reason to shoot is the hunting a squad contract or the picking up tags mission
 
I know you run mostly solo but if they think you are rolling a party they might leave you alone.  I would say use proximity chat to scare them away. If you are solo you are easy pickings. Just occasional say that you have they operator in your sights. Do you want to ping if you want to engage. They might just decide to run at that point. 
 
 
It does happen a lot however. This morning my team killed 9 operators in our deployment just because they decided to shoot at us. We all rock a thermal sniper and ping the bad guys these days so it usually doesn't end well for them.  It would be impossible for a solo player like you to survive that 
 
When we go to extract we take a car and I get out before the extract point. My team mates go to the opposite end of the extraction point. So if people attack they attack the two in the car and I am typically behind them so they get wacked 🙂

Just finished the first episode. I have never watched anything that is so close to the source material in terms of the look and feel. 10/10 so far for me, only 1 episode in but you can tell already its going to be a fantastic series. My minor gripe I have is the zombies kind of have tendrils instead of spores, but thats my only small issue
