It does look very intriguing. I used to enjoy simulators like this but this one seems very harsh and based on your initial opinions that could get annoying very quickly!! 😄 I've haven't got the time to sink into something like this at the moment. If I did, I wanted to get back into Two Point Hospital as thats far less strenuous and abit of fun on top. Keep us informed if there is a decent way to start out which helps get into it. Can you pause it at any moment btw? I would probably get interrupted alot you see.

I love Alan Tudyk in Firefly. Looks pretty good although I'd be watching it on my own as Hayley hates alien stuff cos she thinks its not real...well, duh 😄

In the This Week At Bungie (TWAB) post this week, they've explained within the next Festival of the Lost event coming up soon, they get the chance to offer one concept armour via Eververse (so real money)...so, which one are you?! Lets see which wins a poll here! #TeamDino or #TeamMonster ?! Both sets look incredible if you ask me! Lets hope its one of those things to spin up some PR and we get both! Can't deny I'm team dino, but the more I look at them, the more I prefer the monster versions!

If i'm honest Tommy @BO7H B4RRELS , I have no idea where to start with this stuff. I've usually played a blind eye to all of it. How did you all find out where to start?

For other races each Tuesday makes sense. Not for this league one though. We can still have fun most of the night then and I don't think Qualifying will always be in the same order as we think when I can see many people improving week on week!

Can't wait to check it out Carl @TurboR56Mini ! Looks fantastic. Definitely needed something safe and cosy to smelt the iron deposits in that ol' Swamp

Good thoughts, La. I enjoyed reading all of that. Usually this is my tagline for anyone at FG when i'm trying to get them to join in on the fun 😄 The only thing I would say is that not all shite games are salvageable, even with the fun levels us lot can create 🤣

Yeah seemed a good race from what I could hear. Unfortunately that incident completely ended the race for me really early on but that's racing for you. I also didn't put fuel in by accidentally pressing X on the wheel so for 3 full laps @ 4mins a pop, I had to conserve fuel massively. If I didnt need to do that I would've been at least one or two places higher even after having a huge deficit to claw back. Penalties weren't as bad as qualifying. I got through the whole race without them until right near the final few corners.

Sorry buddy, we don't allow just spamming of links to other sites unless you're a trusted FGer. This is your first post, with your username as what you're trying to do. If you here cos you want to be here, fantastic. I'll lok forward to seeing your intro in the introduction section all about you, what games you like, etc and then see you around FG in other places. 👍

Seeing the Swamp and @tronic44's Tombstones.... 😄

Not sure whether to be impressed or scared how real it looks! I'm mainly an objective based person though so I ain't really sure what i'd do with it Cal! @TheMuggySpud

Sounds like a great idea and a super idea to ask everyone before we look into what to do next. I think as more and more of us are getting on, I really want to make sure they can feel like they can contribute and create stuff themselves, all for the community cause. I think this is a SUPER idea and we should get it up as an event! The game isn't going anywhere so we shouldn't be in any rush to do stuff. This is why I'm comfortable just creating more places, reinforcing more current builds because it adds to the fun of it all. I'd rather create something near the swamp to smelt the Iron to make stuff than hop via my own personal world to speed stuff up. Sometimes it makes sense but I enjoy the idea of even saying to each other 'how should we do this?'....and now we can build LONGBOATS...I think we should explore the seas over the coming weeks and watch us get obliterated together by some sea serpent. Sounds deligtful and hilarious even when I type it! 😄🤣

Yeah, about that....its incredibly insane!! I was determined on my day off to go and have some exploring time as I wanted to feel like I was able to attempt something that was challenging. This was to go to the swamp and survive enough to bring back some loot to create better things to then go back and get the prestigious Iron we needed for next steps. @tronic44, Pablo (rich's friend) and me went to the swamp after i pushed so far and got loads of items but ran out of luck. We attempted time after time to get our stuff back, and continually died getting caught out by leeches in the water. About 5 boats later, we eventually got our stuff and went in a little deeper. I must say the jump after the second boss to the third is quite substantial. The subconscious way through someone thought about this change in the game and allows you to subtlety change and adapt to potions whilst using the latest things you could make, like the tankard are very satisying. After a few runs to a few crypts in between breaks, @tronic44 beat an extended pathway to the swamps whilst Ihad a brief look at the Mountains on our spawn island, as we can now make Frost resistant potions. Be well aware, Wolves HURT ALOT. I died many times killing a few but going back to see what was in there. At night something amazing is in there called a Fenring. Apparently only appears at night and howls to call other wolves to come close when you take it on. Lots of health, i got within 5% of killing it to then die and wasn't able to get back in time before sunrise. Apparently some pretty Wolf leg armour can be made with the stuff he drops, alongside some rare drops Wolves give you (Fangs, Pelts, etc). Anyway, before I got off for FIFA Monday Night Football, I added a few bits which I believe Carl completed later on to our Forge, thanks buddy. You'll now find the dining/storage hall at the Vault to be a cool place to hang out with the Comfort level now at 12. Here's a view from either side. Go and sit in the Raven Throne when you get chance 😄

And on balance (which is effing weird cos i'm saying this in a thread I have little love for EA 😄 )but you would say that the fun has happened because sometimes game development IS good? I don't like watching the news because its far more bias to negative news because it generates more interest. I'd love to see what makes us tick in a positive sense. Not many people decide to pick up on the positive parts of really anything created these days but I'm just trying to step back a little and see if there is any positive stuff in this? Maybe just admitting the fact they were wrong to dictate so much to game developers and the next few games they'll be trying to allow them some freedom....IS a good thing? Albeit very minor because we have little faith that they'll truly follow their own words? 😄 Just a random 2p that popped in my mind.

To be clear before I get into it, this isn't a dig or directed at anyone specifically at all. From since the beginning of time, which is basically FG's existence obviously, we see so many people - so many of us - disgruntled, annoyed, pissed off, etc, about the state of Call of Duty franchise and hammering the next game that is out without really seeing what people really DO want. So here it is - what Call of Duty characteristics do you want them to create? Think of setting, time, perks, guns, gameplay dynamics, ultimates/supers (or not). I'm trying to see if there really is something that would get your spices flowing. And don't cop out with 'just make MW2 remastered' because that shit has been done before and did well in that era. You've seen how remastered goes. A little nostalgia and the positive comments soon turn into utter negative crap which after a while you just don't wanna read cos it depresses you. I'm really interested to know what you guys want and how they could concoct a near perfect Call of Duty. And don't get hung up on the name, some people will hate CoD if it just says 'CoD' in it. Rather than dwell on that, focus on what could be GOOD to see. Maybe we could see some in the next game, or the ones already out today.

Hmmm, you got me thinking of a separate question that could spiral.

That's what it felt like to me. I'm a firm believer in always reading things and seeing what happens too, because, whilst it was a good analogy, I wouldn't rate this on the same level to partner abuse 😄. I bought Anthem for a fiver one past Christmas because it felt like it was worth that gamble to see what they'd do - and so I didn't lose too much after the many worries that came out before and just after the launch. Funnily enough, I agree with you in most parts of Destiny too as many developers can get super lazy in these times but theres enough in that game to be able to enjoy yourself with just the basic core gameplay loop. That is something that many games don't seem to be able to master in the times of 'Give me everything NOW and ALL OF IT so I can gorge it and forget about how good/bad it tasted'. I think you're bang on the money. The amount of games we all at FG play with each other are either games that have been out for many years and well established, or they are new games that are based on their predecessors. I can't see when the next stand-out game will be out there for our one community to rally behind. CoD and Destiny were the ones and ironically still are to some degree - but that isn't a bad thing either. We're all very quick to jump on the bandwagon and give games shit whereas, if we stopped for one second and played some games with everyone, you'd find it we'd be talking more about our hilarious memories we've made than how shit the games are. From a keyboard. Without the games switched on.

Do you think though that's because you need the whole open world to go and source yourself a chocobo yourself? Have the fun was finding the right type of chocobo in the wild and then bringing it to the races. Surely they need more installments of the game to come out?

You're not missing much on next gen mate, thats for sure. Especially with this game still the winner of the CoD that is keeping most players on it, and clearly available for PS4. Separate problem I think that will hurt their income over time will be the size of their games. They've got to do something about it as it isn't just Sony to deal with it and give us bigger hard drives (although i'll take that purely from a different POV). Now they've figured out the F2P market with Warzone somewhat, I actually think this will do the franchise a favour and maybe they'll go away from their ritual stuff that nearly everyone here and elsewhere hates.

I see in a separate thread we get a free PS5 upgrade for the game which is ace to see. Do you think they've released this as they had Yuffie ready to go but the next installment is going to be delayed? Oh, and @Middle Class Caveman you seen this yet?? 😎

Good to hear stability is coming to the game now. I'm still watching from afar and when time allows outside the fun of so many other games we're all playing i'll try and update it and take the ship for a spin. I wasn't close to the game so taking a large planet out of the game doesn't bother me as much because the game space felt huge already. I just want to see more variety stuck into it over time.

This is so where I get stuck in. My wife thinks I do not need to lose weight at all in anyway as its more about if I feel I want to feel better in my body its about toning, rather than losing weight although I feel the difference. Difficulty alongside fitness is how to change your food without losing the fun bits in life such as having a nice takeaway family meal together. I don't want those things to stop so it makes you feel like the easiset way around that is to just not eat as much in the week. However, I get so exhausted - do you try the same? Want it now is absoultely bang on the money for EVERYTHING in the world right now. It tires me out seeing people tired and impatient for things. I get it, Covid exacerbates the issue as we don't want to feel like we're wasting our lives away but above all you can still be a realist through the can do positive attitudes to get up and get shit done. Right now, i'd like more time in life to enjoy all these fun things we do at a slower pace. Enjoy every moment kind of thing.
