The latest 3 new maps run pretty well. Alongside most maps from the start, apart from Highrise, its been really good running through them. Lots of rotation and not much Shipment popping up either. Rust is the Shipment alternative but it doesn't run that bad in MW3. Domination games have been tight last 3-4 days, which led us all to think some matchmaking has been tweaked. Still an enjoyable experience. I wish they'd make it clear though on where the new stuff is within Challenges. It would be nice to track them in the menus and in mid-game.

FG Save The World? Nah...but actually maybe? Why not, eh?
GazzaGarratt posted an article in FG Specific
Where to start? In fact, that's a good point in itself because I have no idea where the starting point is for 2024 now we're already in February! 😅 Life has seriously flown by from what I've experienced, even when it has certainly been busy (Yes, 'busy'. The common phrase we all fall into using most days...I have also been one of those victims 💀). With 2024 already well on its way and started it would be awesome to see the energy pumping back up again across the board. As you get older I've realised that my purpose in life is really to make others feel happy and that they have meaning too. Seems cheesy, like, really cheesy doesn't it. 🧀 But sod it, I don't care. And it matches what FG does and already has been doing for years and years. Depression, Loneliness, Illness, Loss, Sadness...I could go on. Think of all of the things you can you think of that aren't a great feeling to have in life, FG has been there in some way to help people with this. We should do more of it. We need to do more of it. Someone said to me recently you can't change the world...yeah, yeah, I know that. But I woke up today thinking, well is there any problem if we did give it a go? 😎 So, rather than go on and on as I know you all love it when I do 😘 lets be far briefer than previous articles. All I ask is we make one promise together here at FG in 2024 - to put in as much effort as humanly possible making our FG Home alive and kicking more than it ever has been. No metrics, just pure effort. You'll quickly find you'll be helping more FGers than you realise just by sticking around, getting involved and thinking of others. GGFG ❤️🖤 -
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.

Watched Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick, again. They really are top watches. Fantastic action scenes and I appreciated even more watching them for yet another time.

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.

I'll be on tonight but be a little later in the evening 👍

Could SEGA find a niche in todays digital only world?
GazzaGarratt replied to crispymorgan's topic in Hardware
More of generalised thought process @Luseth, I'm pretty sure not everything will. When you think of two ways stuff changes, it either evolves or there is a revolution, the revolutionary ideas and ways society drive have becoming far less as we developed all the amazing things we have over the past 200-500 years. So things will evolve and I do think digital media will be the mainstay of what we see, but it evolves over time like you mention about Vinyls and other such physical items in their own categories like gaming, music, etc. You see artists now try to create money through special edition vinyls because they realise they can't make as much money with digital media. And that's where I think most things now get driven by - money. One of the highest, well known games that made a huge profit was Witcher 3, and a lot of that was down to how they packaged their physical media and accessories within it. As I watch prices go up more and more for retro items and things people want to 'own', the key here is that humans enjoy that owning feeling and when its not tangible, they can't see or feel it and that doesn't fill them with joy. Digital will be 80% and 20% will be the specialist items we all want to have in our hands, kind of scenario. So both can be right to a certain extent. Chad @Riff Machine goes into it a little on their latest podcast too after Ubisoft guy went and said the thing you shouldn't say. -

I'd agree with this as it seems on the face of it their company are structurally ready to be able to get a new console break into the market. That has been getting harder and harder to do out there...but equally as with everything in the world, it isn't impossible. I really genuinely believe in the world we do have a cyclical process on how we do things though - I can see a world where some games go back to basics, build them all on one disc without digital updates and people will lap them up. Indie games have had a revival and now they are a mainstay of what games many gamers love to watch out for. I feel like a mid-tier group of games set around 30-40 pounds would generate some interest with offline play to keep and play forever. Good marketing tool anyway, just sayin'. -
Welcome to FG @Andy_White_07 ! Hopefully its a good thing that Welchy gave some glorious feedback that this place is half decent for your new interwebz home 😄 We do play it from time to time, however before FG I used to play Campaigns on CoD and ended up just not wanting to miss MP nights with any of the FGers that were on. Funny how nearly 99% of our game decisions get created from this ol' place. Hopefully you'll pop in one day soon. Like you'lll see, we have loads here we try to get involved with. You could argue too much sometimes but I like to think theres enough here to keep people busy and call it their home. Looking forward to seeing you around FG and hopefully online too. 😄

Another night of fun races for us all. Ideas for tracks below in the comments please! 😄

I'm sure we spoke recently about this and I'm loving the Command & Conquer vibes as that would always be my underrated special pick to be remastered. Crying out for a game like that with multiple discs of different forces you can be. Hell effin' yes to these. @Findmartin would wholeheartedly agree with you given Master League PES was where it was at for us growing up for years. Timesplitters was an incredible game, campaign and the online multiplayer. One game I felt really really good at too.

They made 'crews' now which I think is 4-6 people and then you can ally with other ships i'm sure so you can all travel the seas together as one big group so I think its all doable now with planning 👍

Yes. Yes. And YES. I already own it on PC via Microsoft but it would be the perfect game to open up to PlayStation from a developer point of view. You can literally have just chill game sessions on it and it can take all night to do a simple step depending on how you play. Open to a whole lot of fun and different ways to play in this Live Service game.

Planet Earth is a phenomenal series and the third one is now out on BBC. Attenborough is a legend in whatever he narrates. If sports docs intrigue you too, The Last Dance is incredibly good. I never followed Basketball at all, just knew about Chicago Bulls when I was a kid but nothing more. An incredible insight to how big Michael Jordan was and transformed the sport. Gaming wise, its not a documentary but a film which is based on a true story (so close enough 😅) would be Tetris. Absolutely superb and learnt something new about the history of it.

I'm personally looking to try and get my PS1 ready to be able to play the original ones again at some point over weekends. They were stellar games back in the day @slamminbones, I agree. For me it was actually the puzzles and abit of the story that sucked me in. I remember once as a teenager being stuck on Tomb Raider 3 round my Nan and Grandads house and all of a sudden I had my Dad, Grandad and Uncle trying to help me get past this certain bit to know where to go. Ahh the days before YouTube was a thing 😄 @WelchyTV, I think it is hard to like remasters if you never grew up with them as I feel like they are always targeted at the crowd that played them before. If you like puzzle type games and work past the graphics (because obviously it won't look and feel the latest gen), then I'd say its a cheap pick up to say the least. Also depends how much you enjoy playing those older games too. I think you have to have a certain brain now to get past the graphical side as lots of younger games switch off if it looks old, which you would expect some of this to be that way.

Yes its fine to use for just this video @WelchyTV, thanks for offering to do this.
-
Yes! I saw this a few days ago, and should've shared so thanks for doing that @Luseth! I think its incredible how the way its evolved and also how much love that this game still gets after all those years. I watched this one which gave a bit of a backstory into how the world record and what you physically can aim for in Tetris.

Anyone taken their kids to Lapland recently?
GazzaGarratt replied to Middle Class Caveman's topic in Any General Discussion
No, we haven't gone. We wanted to, but the cost just meant we couldn't make it work and now our kids are virtually in their teens so I think we've missed the magical boat for this. If anyone can afford the cost, I think its a worthwhile trip for the memories. Just a bit hectic i've heard given how much you have to cram into 1-2 days, alongside the plane journey too. If I see any tips from some of my IRL people i've grown up around, i'll share them here.
