Thanks for this @Shucker , it's intrigiung me and because I get abit FOMO of what i'm missing out I can't deny its on my mind on whether to get it. However, i'm like Chad @Riff Machine atm because it feels like a lot of money for a game we don't know how endgame will pan out quite yet. The difficulty is that we're all used to gorging content like there's no tomorrow so I have no doubt if you have the willpower the game will be a good experience...until endgame. I'm also similar to @phil bottle as the gameplay hasn't excited me watching it atm. It must be different playing it to reports though. I've never been a fan of Gears of War titles because of the camera and way the controls felt to move around, it never felt natural. Third person cover-esque games (I know you aint supposed to use cover, but its in there) is more Division 2 as the standard to reach so I just worry can it make the heitghts of that - even Division 2 has struggled with endgame albeit having a great campaign mode. Crossplay is a great enabler and one that might trigger me over the line. I'm still invested in Destiny 2 because I know i'll always have some things to do in there but when we get the quieter weeks this could be a good filler and that way the game doesn't die straight away. Its not a live service game though, right? You can play offline like Borderlands I heard. That means endgame will suffer surely as endgame really means 'give me stuff to do all the time that changes'?

Well, its been a while for an FGFGF update, but hopefully you can let me off on that, as the first months of 2021 have certainly been busy to say the least 😄 The Big Xmas FGFGF Giveaway was a huge thing for me to try and organise and complete but I was determined to do something extraordinary because of the hard times we've all had through this global lockdown. FGers received playstation, xbox and steam vouchers, brand new games (quite a few that were AAA) to play with other FGers, quality merchandise through special edition statues and FG personalised stuff thrown in to make it all up. All FGers ( except @Dan94 because of Merch supplier issues 😤) have their gifts and I really hope they've been well received and you're getting a lot of smiles out of them already. Even though that was quite a significant mini project to do, especially alongside the FG Awards (how can we all forget!), I still managed to get a few more Feel Good Fund surprises out there in the wild over that period and into early 2021. Clive @Teenwolf25 and Justin @FallenDark200 helped us massively get through the difficult times on Destiny in the last few years and helped many FGers get their first raids done and some seriously hard activites completed. Games like Destiny require people to keep the social side of things going whilst we wait for better days and i'm glad its still a game that is a core game here. A Feel Good surprise in the way of FG personalised Hoodies went their way as a thanks to them. James @Lurch has been a newer FGer to the fold at the back end of last year, getting involved every week on FIFA nights and embracing what FG is about finding the time to get into the other games we all play on an FG Friday. With some harder times that he's had to overcome, a Feel Good opportunity was open for the taking which we gladly took with both hands, so he now is a lovely owner of a 2TB Hard Drive for all the extra games he has to play with FGers. Tom @LordBaguette has made a real effort to bring a buzz around the place with his Marvel comic/movie knowledge, his support with setting up previous poker nights as well as having other challenges to deal with, so sending him a handmade version Iron Man Arc Reactor (picture below) to brighten his days with an FG smile. We were also able to honour our promise last year of getting Cyberpunk 2077 for Sam @Capn_Underpants and we hope everything at home is getting better with her Mum and family ❤️ Finally, @JBR-Kiwi was struggling for a while in GT Sport when shifting his gears would completely take him out of the race, and whilst that wasn't much of a bad thing 🤣 , we're not that bad so he now owns a lovely PS4 controller so he can beat us again and again 😁. It should be also noted Kiwi immediately sent a donation to FG related to this, once again showing justification as to why he was much deserving of a Feel Good present. Outside and on top of all the of FGFGF gifts, we also shouldn't forget we've created and maintained 3 PC FG Dedicated Servers; 7 Days to Die, Minecraft and Valheim. Whilst we are putting 7 Days on hold, this is something we'd love to see more of if we physically can make it happen but would require relevant support, via activity and ad-hoc donations to keep them going. And lastly on the topic of donations, I've started to see a few coming over recent weeks without saying anything and its HUGELY appreciated. ❤️ We all hopefully know by now we can't do all of this, on top of making everything run as normal without regular donations from you all. If we can get a few more over coming weeks then my hope is to look at the FGFGF in April and get even more Feel Good surprises out where possible, so if you can donate it is a huge benefit to everyone here at FG. You can do this through the homepage link to the PayPal FG Account or let me know (i'll get the merch stuff updated so we can also get a little bit when you get stuff from that too). GGFG all ❤️

Also, quick note that now @Diddums is 11th, not last and higher than people that haven't turned up yet. I think its time we saw some of your lovely faces for a race @G_dub52 @jordie1892 @Macca89 @tronic44 @Spacedeck @Stretch616 @TonyAE86 @Findmartin @Misneach_ Even if you finish and don't CBA and quit, you'll get points!

Gutted you had problems @phil bottle. I felt better this week, or at least a little bit closer to sort of okay driving so it would've been good to race you. A bit disappointed on the strategy if i'm honest as one mistake made me think i should try something different, fully thinking everyone would pit. However Hard tyres just seem to be too durable on most tracks which allow for no stop strategies usually beating the stop strategies. Any thoughts on this as I love how strategy can change a race but now i'm thinking just to never pit in the race with hards. Mandatory pit stop perhaps? or at least make fuel saving more of a burden? On the points perspective, i'd need to break the top 2 to try and catch up on @Mikepjbell and Phil. I really wish my race pace wasn't way off to what I am on a controller. Keep plugging away though, must persist with the learning!

Looking back at this I'd say Destiny 2 has been my most played next gen game on the PS5. The enhancements we all got for free were truly gamechanging and now make me feel like I'd struggle to play it on a PS4. Can't believe @jordie1892 played the PS4 version for abit on his PS5 before realising there was an upgrade! 😄 WRC9 is very much a solid game for the PS5 but I wouldn't say it showed off much of the kit the PS5 has.

Time to finally try the new Oddworld game!! Awesome!

I need some help from 15 other FGers to try out something we went to years ago but didn't quite pull off. If this can work just alongside our usual fun nights of gaming then we can keep making them along the way! I'm trialling fun little tournaments ahead of making the section fully open to all different kinds of stuff we can do. Here's the dealio: On CoD MW, a Gunfight (2v2 mode, random guns each round gamemode) knockout tourney that i need 8 teams of 2 people. I could put you all in one big group and pull people out at random but lets face it, its hard enough to get people to turn up sometimes! So find a partner in crime, and create a team with its own name on the Tournament pages: Step 1 - Create a team >>> On the main tournaments page, this is where you can find a place to create a team >>> https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/index.php?/tournaments/ Step 2 - Go to the tournament details page and join the tournament (it then asks you to select a team to enter it with): If you can't quickly find a partner, just put your interest here and we'll just partner each of us up. Remember, this is about having a laugh with each other and not a super sweaty tournament, although i'm sure you'll have good banter shooting each other in the face! We can then organise your games on a night which will only probably take 10 minutes, and you can then move on to Warzone as a whole group or whatever else you were gonna play that night! Extra people can jump in and take the Codcaster role if they really want to spectate too! 😄 We'll come back to this topic when its running and keep people informed of the scores and when you might play to make a night of it. Anyway, lets have some fun. I'm in it, but I need a partner in crime so need to see some names below so i can ask you (or you can ask me) to group up! Funny team names are allowed too, just grab a pick and add a description - my team that has been entered is called 'Shotgun and Pliers' and you can see who else has entered one along the way. If this is a success we can keep doing these - I'm counting on you FG!! 😄❤️

Yeah that sums up where i'm at with him. And as much as people may want to see him have more of a story arc and/or potentially get some form of super powers too, I just can't see that right now. I don't find him warming (as expected) but usually you can notice straight away if a person will do well and i'm not sure he will alongside Falcon and Winter Soldier. Problem is we were spoilt with Chris Evans for probably too many years to feel any different. That being said, another decent episode which i'm glad was longer than the first one! I'm loving the Winter Soldier little black book of names he's starting to cross off, that totally works for a little series and keeps him playing a cool dark character which suits him. They've done a good job showing how vulnerable Falcon can be from other external factors so far and I think that sets him up to be hopefully adored by the end of the season. The balance of action to story seems about right too. We needed more action in this than WandaVision but good to see its not all explodey stuff everywhere because we need to learn far more about the world now as we know it in Phase 4.

Sounds like you'll win out either way as they are both very good choices imo. Personally, i'd go for whatever that can give the headset today or tomorrow to make full advantage of the headset!! 😄

It may not feel that way when you play TF2 however, you can't deny that Apex launched at the correct time, for free without any fuss which gave it a huge step forward in the market. Right now, its seriously a big deal with it being a successful F2P game alongside Warzone and Fortnite. This saved the existence of TF series for the future imo. With Apex keeping the franchise relevant, Ithink they could easily work on a small DLC/patch update to Titanfall 2 and create a 'Definite Edition' to relaunch Titanfall 2 at the right time. They could make a little bit of cash and increase the playerbase overnight bearing in mind how well it was received previously from the 47 players that played it at the time.

Man, he could've got points but he really did lose it with Ocon didn't he?! Nice to see Aston Martin do well though....albeit we have to see their sponsor Congizant on a regular basis *body shudders hearing the word*

Right, here's my 2p from a headset POV on the PS4/5. On Budget - I've searched around and luckily by chance the Astro A10s have gone down to £49.99 on Amazon. I think this is a great price albeit wired but that doesn't matter too much in the grans scheme of things. My daughter has these and I think they are a huge update to a simple earbud. You may have to check the options they have though as stock may not be available straight away or you could spend an extra tenner to get a variation of the headset abit earlier? ASTRO Gaming A10 Wired Headset, Lightweight & Damage Resistant, ASTRO Audio, Dolby ATMOS, 3.5 mm Audio Jack for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Switch, PC, Mac, Mobile - Black/Green: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories WWW.AMAZON.CO.UK Shop for ASTRO Gaming PC products at the Amazon.co.uk Computers & Accessories store. Slightly over budget - The best value for money that always gets mentioned is the Sony Golds. You can usually find them for around £70-£100 but they've always been on point and amazing at sound. Not forgetting they're wireless too. They were my first headset from the PS4 earbud and I couldn't recommend them enough. Way over budget - I love Astro A50's but they are in the hundreds (usually £250). Something to aspire to get one day as they'll take your hearing skills to the next level! One thing I have noticed is that Steel Series are catching up in this area and you could find a top level headset from them for around £150 which are nearly on par with these based on other FGers past buys. Hope this helps @Antpool84 !

What a first race that was! It was great actually because we popped on to try and play Valheim and then ended up watching the F1 race together with @Plumbers Crack , @TurboR56Mini , @crispymorgan and @RenFengge ! Whilst it stopped me playing cos of frames, if i can do it again i'll try because it was definitely enjoyable watching the race and talking to people about it at the same time. Hamilton played a blinder I thought as Verstappen clearly had the car to win that race. Superb 4th place for Norris and another stellar drive from Perez from the pit lane to get 5th. Those remaining laps kept creeping down tensely as Verstappen ate away at Hamilton's lead. Unfortunately for Max I think Hamilton cleverly defended his position to the point where Max pushed too hard on the wrong section of the track to takeover first whilst off the track. Having said that, that was the most mature i've seen Verstappen regarding him giving the place back as quickly as he did. I think we all expected him to drive Lewis off the track but fair play. Its only one race in the season and a long way to go. Did I miss where Gasly went btw? His Qualy pace was lightning and then he completely dropped off in the race! Granted I missed the start unfortunately.

Why I enjoy Marvel stuff they create is how they interlink so many things across multiple films and series. This little nugget connecting Ant-Man to WandaVision is the best by far!
