Good video @phil bottle. Worthwhile working out what settings should be on a private server to help players in these situations, otherwise it could end up being a really harsh experience whilst learning the game again.

You're not being a twat, I think my post was trying to be hopeful but knowingly watched this and thought very similar. Abut gutted tbh, was expecting way more from it but that was naive to think that way.

So a gameplay reveal has come out. Its not AAA so there is that to bear in mind. Part of me feels like it would work better as a PSVR2 game perhaps? I like the puzzle solving side, I just have a little worry over controls and shooting mechanics. The nostalgia of being Robocop though is still an overwhelmingly good feeling to have, even if the game isn't top notch. Thoughts?

You know what, we experienced this that night too! And you're right its a sucker punch, especially when you go to one map, get the intel and need to go to the other map to drop the intel off. Love the idea of how mixing the missions across 2 maps works. Hopefully more of the same at the higher tiers.

Just as James said @Tove, this is awesome work! Your stories and updates have been a great read. So much so, I tried to have some time for some DMZ this past weekend and really enjoyed it. One quick game on Friday @LordBaguette and @James5497 jumped in with me and we ended up getting a Tier 2 quest where we needed to get a few UAV Towers done, buy a car, drive across the whole map to the City to kill 15 people with the turret and then blow it up. Hilarious stuff as there ended up being multiple teams at the Extraction point given we had around 3-4 minutes to go. I feel like those games give you the best feeling as its definitely high risk, high reward. Extracted with £97k but didn't realise until afterwards....just kept picking up the dog tags whilst gunfire went off everywhere. Love pieces of candy 😅 Which faction has the best and fun missions to do so far in Season 2?

Welcome to FG Aiden! Hope you enjoy your stay here and getting involved where you can. ❤️ Hopefully see you on for a CoD or GTA Races on an FG Friday soon! I kid you not, that line of 'oh, I have a story about that' came out last night. Not sure how someone of his age has that many stories to tell! 😅 Yes, you are an all round kind person, Bones. 😎

The most successful FG Friday games will also be the ones most accessible to large parties grouping up and the ones that cover off an element of variety in-game. I think the staple games I'll always try and arrange nights as a minimum for FG are: GTA Races (Car races and other car modes can take up to 16-18, others slightly less) Among Us & Fall Guys (Both really require at least 10 of us to play so its more varied, and worthwhile to try out - also, these games normally have a 2 hour limit cos they are simplistic games). CoD MW Remastered (Most have it cos it was free years ago on PS Plus - and you can have up to 16-18 on Gun Game) CoD MW2 (Seems to be the most up to date game most have and does have many gamemodes that can be used in Private Matches. Need to check can we have more than 12 in Private though) Wreckfest (Max 16 players. When we all have PS5s that goes up to 24) Couple of things to mention. We've slacked this year on FG Fridays because I have. No excuses. I ploughed effort into all parts of FG in Jan and haven't got a rythm going yet. Also, to get new games into this list reglarly is extremely difficult because a) not everyone owns whatever game we suggest and b) most other games struggle to get anywhere near 12 in one group. A few thoughts on the other candidates that would work some one off nights but maybe not as regular FG Fridays: Battlefield 2042 or 4 - Most have 4, some have 2042. The squad size is an absolute killer. Max 4 in squad is just a nightmare. Private matches are difficult as maps are so big. It would help if we had 20+ for this, so more FGers are needed for sure. Destiny 2 - Most have it but limited to 6v6 Deathmatch or Control. Difficult because most haven't played much so may not have a back catalog of guns so if we wanted to be creative, we struggle because there aren't the same guns owned by everyone. You also sometimes find people joke too much about this which puts people off it before we even play. Overwatch 2 - We did try this a few times. Main challenge is again the max party size. Can only really play team games so 3v3, 4v4 or now max 5v5 which is a PITA cos it used to be 6v6. Most nights on FPS tend to need a large Free For All mode, like Gun Game, One in the Chamber, Snipers Only, etc, but I think FFA is maxed out at 8 on this game. Star Wars BF2 - We tried this once, was really up for it - max 4 in squad killed it. Such a stupid rule as we hoped it would work but no one could get on with it for Private or Public lobbies. Most own it though. Super Bomberman - We've done this a few more times and has been successful a few times. You can have up to 64 players and game is cheap on PS Store if not owned. Difficulty is longevity. Some struggle to play more than 30 mins, max 60. Would work well with a Fall Guys or Among Us night. Brawhalla - Max 8 players. Fun small game and similar to Bomberman. Just wish more than 8 could join. Sports games like Golf, other Racers. I think these would work well but difficulty is many don't own the same game or version to crossplay. I could go on, but as you can see its something I've put a lot of effort and thought into over the years and continue to do so. Challenge is understanding the whole FG crowd and trying to find something that hits the spot on. Thats tough sometimes as we are a very unique and diverse group. FG Fridays don't always have to be large 12+ nights, always open to try out other stuff that has lower max players. The challenge is always what do you do when max is 10 and 11th person shows up. We try to help where possible with larger ones so no one misses out. Maybe the RSVP system needs to be used better here, I don't know if i'm honest. One thing is clear though, no matter how many turn up, FG Fridays were and still are killer as long as everyone makes an effort to get the word out and join in, even if you were hoping to play one of the other games on the list. I'll think of some other options out these when I check whats available for cheap or owned in our back catalog.

Ah good spots! Easy to get the names jumbled up. Does the remake have these endings cos you said it was fairly short? I thought they remastered it with new sections, etc?

Resident Evil 2 by a mile for me first, although I actually loved Resident Evil 3 because of how short it was. Back in the day, these games scared me so I was so happy to actually fully complete this one on its own. As people say above the camera aesthetics were/are unique for how the early ones played. Does the new one allow multiple playthroughs like the old one? The reason I say RE2 is because you were actually supposed to play it through 4 times. Once as Clare, then Leon and then vice versa to get the outfits. At least twice would show how forward thinking they were on how the stories were put together from different angles and perspectives. I may play RE1 again to see how it plays as I never got far with @Findmartin on it. For some reason, although RE4 was given huge praise I never really was interested in it. Mainly because it was actually the opposte of sneaking around and using ammo decisions. It was way more action packed and I actually like the look of the remake camera angle than the OG camera as over the shoulder was super close to the camera on PS2. I nearly have the whole set on GameCube just missing RE2 which I think may be a good playthrough from start to finish. Code Veronica has to be up there too as visuals and aesthetics are superb in that.

Thanks for the views so far @Luseth @SWAINEY84 and @TurboR56Mini. @Luseth Matt, its difficult to explain how it used to be for quite a while. Most nights would be a one game thing through the week, as it was with CoD right now. However it used to be Destiny most of the time and then Overwatch other nights. I think the game is in a far better shape where we can chill and talk and not have to feel like we're miles apart becase the game doesn't have FOMO or any grind. Its more about learning techniques on how to play, build a armour set which even i need help with but its far better bouncing off you guys than just looking at a YouTube video. And FG Fridays, i've slacked tbh. They were never normally the same game like the past 6 weeks. You'll find some games can be on one night whereas others, just from experience I know that its easier just to stick up one game. I'll commit to getting the other Fridays up...although we need all round support to get people's butts online to have a laugh. They are still legendary so won't go away from here. @SWAINEY84, you hit some of the feelings I have. I know this game has actually helped people more in their own life than just playing, like yourself. There's now plenty of options with the Dungeons, Raids and now even the Strikes getting a facelift, that I think just running a few things together would be nice to do as a group. @TurboR56Mini, thanks for being honest. I think luckily, with raids and Dungeons there isn't really much you need before you go in that needs a heavy grind. FOMO is literally down to how we 'used to play' imo. We used to play so much that it felt like we couldn't have a day off! Now, I've missed so much that I don't care about getting everything, I just want to have the experiences together. In fact even back to Destiny 1, the stuff we remember isn't getting everything, its more the memories of epic laughter whilst doing a raid, or even just crucible together. I'm actually with you on wanting to build cool stuff on Valheim, the point should be we play this alongside other stuff, not to make it feel its the only game that exists at FG. Theres so much to talk about in the game that if all of us played it would give us a different perspective to what we had before now we have most of us starting from scratch or for the first time in ages.

Yeah...I mentioned when playing last night about it as it has some ideas, i've been trying to get on here for quite a while....added to the backlog of interesting fun stuff to have on FG if we can get it on here!!

Hear me out for 2 minutes please. I'm really wanting to have a good discussion about it because I honestly feel like there is a game to be played that fits right into our fun happy place without the need to be having to grind or play multiple hours of it and feel 'left behind', etc. I look at the past feelings about CoD over the years, even money wise, but we keep coming back to that, paying the money and this time round its proven (generally here) that the latest one has been a success. I think a significant part of that is many of us here playing it and having others to group together on it - although I see many here too play solo and be fine with that also. So, being there still feels no superior competitor to Destiny 2, and given thats it had a pretty big overhaul of the game again just now, what would it take for you to come back? Or even, start playing for the first time? With Discord integrated with Xbox and PS5, we're even closer to crossplay feeling pretty simple now as the chat was the only major blocker for me (now its just PS4s ffs Sony). I'm just really interested in whether or not we could create that buzz and talk again about the game, given there is still loads of different activities to do and especially at Endgame where most here haven't completed any Dungeons (3 players) or Raids (6 players). So don't hold back, lets chat about it and be open. I feel an FG hole waiting to be filled in 👀 Lets try and be positive and constructive about what we could do together as a community. It could be Guides we could write together, open group up nights, videos, private matches, etc. And the existing ones that still play, give ideas on what you think we could do too! Looking forward to seeing what we all come up with. GGFG!

I think it looks great tbh. Not that I will be playing it but I may pick it up at some point later down the line. Its way more gun-ho in this one which may help me get over how I always used to be struggling for ammo in the others!
