Just catching up on old threads and forgot to say the day we managed this in a party of 6 was really fun. It felt partly like Mass Effect 3 MP abit with the objectives and waves. Never really a fan of the endless one but that's just my personal opinion when it comes to modes without an end goal or objective. Could play this more often if I could understand more of the game e.g. how many different types of missions, players to upgrade, etc.

Best thing ever!! I can switch off pedestrians, make him invincible too! When games are difficult to find for a lad who can't mentally cope with losing, this just breaks it down to be a simple type of Burnout game mode where he can just pick any car, drive around wherever and make the biggest crashes where he wants! Shame it's not in online mode, you could really have some fun with this type of mode. Thanks again!

They'll be 8 player raids in Division 2. Granted don't know how many but that's why this initially gripped me.

As much as I disappointingly didn't get to try it and wanted this game to be a mainstay for FG like Destiny, I just can't see myself now buying it at launch. I have an urge to, but if many here are sitting tight and waiting then I'm happy to stick with Destiny and look forward to Division 2 instead. I'm sure it'll save me a tenner if I wait a few months.

Morning FG! January's been one of those months for me but also a lot of people here. I apologise in advance for not being around enough to positively kick you all up the arse to have fun and be merry. I'm hoping a new month ahead and the seeing the games coming out over recent months will give us some fresh playtime fun to get some groups together. I learnt alot about last year, we had a lot of grouping together, did far more activities and game nights across multiple games...actually more than the days we started playing Destiny 1 without it feeling like it! That doesn't mean it didn't take a ton of effort though to sort. Physically and mentally. We hit over 100k posts at FG and I also learned at the end of year our average age of FG is 33. Probably not surprising to regulars but it also shows why we're active at some parts of the year and not in others. The post count states though show we have something we should keep going for the sake of everyone's home from home. We got a bit of feedback from some of you - thank you massively for doing that survey I created. Overall rating out of 10 was 8.29. That surprised me. Can't deny theres a few low scores in that average and that backs up my sentiment that I always think we can make FG far better than it is so it's a place to look forward to stopping by. Things that people have asked want more of: • More threads on various topics • More FG videos • The attitude we all have to one another to help • More events • More PC Gaming • Quizzes Things that people have asked to look into as they need more work, in no particular order: • Calendar and also how to make events more accessible • Grouping up online • More diversity across gamers and countries • More interaction on posts • Consolidate dead spaces on forum • Integration with all parts of FG • More social presence • Images • Streaming • The battle between WhatsApp and use of any FG elements • More people • More regular people • Grab back existing groups of members I'm going to start looking at getting an FG Roadmap installed so you can all see what we're hoping to do in the future and how close we are getting it. We'll also have a suggestion tracker so you can continue to add ideas but in an easier way. Ultimately, we just need to group together and #makeFGgreatagain. I haven't got shirts or some fluffy thing to get you back over to FG like a few years ago. I'd hope that's not needed to make you enjoy this place and that's not why I did that sentiment (although a merch shop wouldn't go a miss). Let us know your thoughts as you'll start to see multiple changes in February. Thank you for continuing to always be here and enjoying staying around any part of FG. Website, Discord, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, the lot. Oh and TLDR: #makeFGgreatagain if that wasn't already clear. GGFG

Do we?! Awesome! Love watching him in the mornings to see what stupid carnage unfolds! (Clearly you don't feel that way because he supports Arsenal 😘). I'm with Adam's sentiment in the OP. Yes, it's annoying how people take this and run away with it. Also, yes its annoying he didn't realise it would blow up like this. Shit happens. I won't change my opinion on what I think of him because of this. I love Twitter but hate it for partly contributing to this type of news. I think it's best put - Before there is a problem, we already know there is a problem. Ah, the glorious world we live in today. Be good to each other, don't be a total cunt and be happy. Regular cunt is just fine with me.

I'm pushing to sort my PC setup out this year as it's not what I intended to have (thought she'd buckle, there we go, you learn everyday). I can play PC, I'm just being realistic to my time invested currently on PC games atm based on my past year of gaming.

PS4 for me too.

Thanks for turning up and spotting it but not fixing it brother.

I really enjoyed getting back into it. No, not because I'm sick of Destiny, just wanted that fix before Division 2 comes out and we got gotta get playing together again. Problem most here have is that we've become quite dependent on Destiny, because most other games don't scratch that looter shooter itch we've got, but then you can get sick of a really solid game if that's all you have to play. I get that. My view is - play all of the games. We'll appreciate Destiny and Overwatch, etc, more so if we start trying these games again. And this one really has some good looter shooter positives. I'd consider the DLC if it's gets a bit cheaper - found it for £18 somewhere online. @Diddums, I wanna get Platinum on this now. I'll await your annoyance to me becoming a magpie again

This game is getting major rep on all social networks. I woke up to seeing at least a dozen tweets saying this is fresh, new style of Battle Royale and not one bad comment so far at all. I've started my download. Keen to give this a go considering people are saying it has a lot more to offer than Blackout.

Absolutely quality video and great to see all those put together Chris.

Awesome! Thanks @J4MES OX4D! I'll try it this week and see how it works then. Oh, and yes Philip, I know it's an 18...that's why I'm only letting him play the bits that don't have the worst bits in it 😜 He only wanted to drive around in fast cars but he kept on running through online situations where he picked up stars. This now should be ace though for him!

Thanks both. I might need to grab that cheat code instead then so when it does go up, I can help lower it or teach him how to do it.

Okay, interesting as Inwasnt expecting to hear that. I mean, I'd try it out but it has to be significantly better than CoD Blackout to peak my interest. As it's just a game mode it needs to do far more than just exist.

We could have a little lul in the market for a year or so until companies start to change their business models. We are definitely gonna see the F2P market go nuts although I think it'll quickly fade (hoping) as it's a discrete business model that is more about money than meets the eye. I think it could be the case of gamers to reinvest time in games that are fully matured in the market with content and get their satisfaction from then and their content drops until a time a game can blow the market up in a few years.

Random ask of anyone that knows how to switch off the cops on GTA? My lad has seen somewhere on YouTube (he thinks) that you can drive around and there's a way you can not trigger the cops. I ain't so sure. Cant seem to find anything and if I do I imagine it will be a PC mod rather than on the PS4. Is there a cheat code or something that I/he could do to stop them ever being triggered? I said I would ask as he went stop asking me! Thanks all.

Nice Chad. I've seen theres a free DLC skin for Spiderman just released so should be in the PSN store if you take a look.

Let us know which world comes across as the best. Always loved watching my mate play the original.

I'm just sad now. Granted, most people staying on side of Anthem are saying most looters shooters start with limited content and then release more as time passes. We haven't seen any roadmap though and I've seen a conversation they had on a stream which mentioned that they have some 'aspirations' to create big things like raids but not them. Clearly though that work hasn't started as it probably down to EA needing to see sales in the game initially.

So much is now riding on endgame for most games being created right now and after seeing SkillUps tweet earlier, tbh it's pretty concerning for me. I want to give the game a go but I'm worried it'll be extremely repetitive and very shallow pretty quickly. Wondered what other peoples thoughts are?

More than happy to give it more of a go. I know Nutty has recommended some differences that I'm cool with. Still think if we pick a night in advance next week we're more likely to get more on. What about next Thursday Sebba/all?

I'd buy it if they did that in a store here.

I agree with sentiment too, I've only ever pre-ordered one game which Destiny 2. Doesn't stop me from going out on the first day or two to buy a game. That's pretty much what we all do. Every time.

I can't believe I'm getting caught on Anthem's side of the fence, especially after feeling I tend to defend Destiny's existence against this game. Just because my opinion is that it won't be as good as Destiny will ever be, doesn't mean we can't give it a good try. The core of what most people dont like so far about Anthem is It's EA It may have expensive microtransactions It's EA Looks a little bland It's EA Comparing it to Destiny EA - Well, EA might be a crock of shit in some instances but that doesn't mean they will do an injustice to this game. Microtransactions - we dont know what the final score will be bit we have to give them some credit for saying no loot boxes ever will be sold and it'll only ever be cosmetic crap that is sold. I'm fine with that currently, need more hard facts on this before we screw it over. Comparisons - Stop comparing this game to Destiny in the way we do. It's not like Destiny. The only part I see is that it's a looted shooter, that's it. Both Destiny and Anthem can exist. Blandness - Yeah, the colours of the world are always a subjective point. However for the shots sometimes we've seen on streams, they aren't doing the game justice. I've seen some screenshots that the game is beautiful in some aspects. I shouldn't stop all this negativity about Anthem when I know underlyingly this is the best thing that could happen to Destiny as people will stop moaning about Bungie and start realising what we've had and still have in Destiny is a unique world that is already developed tons of content that is ultimately fun to play.
