Soul Caliber on the DreamCast was possibly one of the best games ever on that console. The world quests were so well made. A multiplayer game that I loved as well but only played split screen was Outtrigger. Look it up if you can. What I never got around to trying properly was the Visual Memory Cards. They looked like Tamagochis which back in the day were like golddust.

It is true. They added it back. Should've had it in the first place. My PMA pulls me through. At the end of the day, its just a game. They fucked up and now its back. You can either moan about it or just play it and enjoy we get stuff we wanted back. This game has so much potential because of the easy access to it and whatever anyone says its still a solid shooter. And PvE at that. If we could just have more activities with larger fireteams than 3 this would be amazing. Back to bounties. They need to be harder and worth more. Its still 'pick them up and don't think about them, they'll be completed anyway'. They know this and I'm hoping the world vendors get bounties like Forsaken new vendors.

Exactly. Don't get confused though, as I'll never say Discord for console chat. Its too hard work. But definitely discord for cards against humanity. I suppose the only thing to consider for discord is, if we have 16-20 on gta and someone disconnects, unless you have their phone number for whatsapp, discord can just be used the same way. Getting active members is all about supporting FG channels of discussion AND event nights when possible. We wouldn't be talking about this if we made multiple game nights across different games btw.

Yes.

This isn't an issue for me like i said ages ago. Whatsapp and Discord do the same thing. Both chat services. Whatsapp for random crap non-pc stuff I get it. We're a gaming family. We need to use all latest social stuff to reach out to FGers not usually active here. Not just Discord. FB, Insta, the lot. Also. Totally get: Console chat - PS4 Party Chat or in-game chat PC chat - Discord Either way, if we want FG to grow we need to support the largest growing chat service for gamers. What I would say that helps the website is Discord has a plugin that we can share 'automatically' threads, videos, events, live streams, etc. So you get notifications. If whatsapp had a plugin I'd do it in a heartbeat. Last point. I won't ever stop people using whatsapp or discord or whatever chat service they want. Its their life and idc what others use. Use both, use none - Just support FG shit in one way or another is the take away. So much effort goes into thinking how much fun we can have on a daily basis and those others that try should be recognised (and they will in the future). (P.s. @Diddums no idea why it was stickied, not had chance to keep clean up on subforums).

My god Bill. Falling in love with this 😍

You know I'm with you. I'll keep it short - the irony of this is that we need current FGers to get behind these awesome rally calls and do what you've said. To do that, they need to interact. Here. Other FG places. But they gotta stop being lazy. We forget here sometimes and thats cool. Life happens. But this place deserves lots of love so people need to remember that. Effort and quality ratio of FG stuff to active members is disproportionate. I'd love that to change. I think we all would, right? So yeah. Get on the case yourself dude and tell them all! ❤

Re OCUK guys. @Diddums awesome work to get a few to game with us. I think what would stem more games and more activity is if they talked here. You can't force them though so its a double-edged sword. It is a little disappointing however there is more engagement in that thread than here. Especially when its an FG night, not an OCUK one. That being said, nothing to do woth your awesome work at spreading the love Didds. Its more a factor of what our own FGers are like. Gotta start talking more. Its only one click away on their phone.

Re Discord. Its for PC games, not console imo. But as we get more games going we should use our server. Its what its there for. And the largest growing chat service for games there is. You know what i think about whatsapp but I cba with that battle again. Game chat has to be used for console for +8 players. GTAs isn't that bad. Use discord when ppl need to get hold of each other quickly.

When I set up GTA Fridays it was the start of trying to get a regular schedule for FG. Every week will always prove difficult for some people but having a fixed night it something I've always been keen on as people remember 'its game night'. Its okay if people miss a week because its designed for anyone to join but a core group is always needed. I for one will always try to be there, more so now to support FG and for the amazing banter but I know I Don't want to play every week. If I'm honest, people need to embrace giving things a go. I posted in the GTA racing thread foe more ideas on different modes because nearly all want to jump on do stuff but its easier for someone to organise. We should take that on ourselves to organise but need input or Didds' post happens. There's so much to do on the game but we need to be told once in a while whats there. We don't know it all. Tldr - I'm one for keeping regularity - Maybe push to fortnightly - More input is required - More willingness to trial and error is required - More game are needed

Funny. That's exactly what I visioned when I read Phil's post 😂

What would you say the average age of the Golden FG Destiny crew are??
-
Its a real big help tbh. Current thoughts on them: - Nice to get additional XP and Tokens - Helps rank 50 grind - disappointing not to see more variety - also disappointed to not see more than Crucible and Vanguard ones I know more is coming as they have on purpose stated you'll get some Exotic ones and when Forsaken drops the Vendor called The Spider will give you Outlaw bounties increasing in difficulty. Just felt like Faction Rally could've been supported by them at each vendor. Getting to Rank 50 with a new faction in a week its a grind in itself.

Gutted to hear that about Black Panther but its probably cos of what you've said how you feel on blockbusters more so. I'm still waiting for it to be on Sky. Cba to stream it.

Help Needed Please - FG Champions
GazzaGarratt replied to GazzaGarratt's topic in Site info and announcements
Its more the help that I need and FG needs. Having 'Champions' to help share news for certain games helps the overall site. Otherwise, its just a couple of us finding stuff unnaturally and creating threads to keep the place ticking over. These guys have an open pass to help engagement and activity on things Overwatch (and i know theres tons of stuff we could add) and its only one section. I really don't think its that hard but i must be missing something. Totally agree with trophies and medals though for everyone is more important - that gives everyone the chance to feel good about FG stuffs. -

Agreed. I was trying to find time to do an infographic but not had chance yet. Lemme see what i can do over the next few days... -
Help Needed Please - FG Champions
GazzaGarratt replied to GazzaGarratt's topic in Site info and announcements
Well, that's obvious [emoji41] But really though, this concept should work but its fell miserably by the way side. I'll need to reach out to people to see if they want to still keep this going. -
Here's the official answer from TWAB last night. Prestige raid lairs and armor from Solstice of Heroes were not intended to be infusion fodder for two reasons: These items are intended to be trophies, for players to show their accomplishments leading up to Forsaken. If players who own Curse of Osiris but do not own Warmind use these items for infusion, any gear infused above 335 Power will no longer be available for use. Players who have already done this can claim a duplicate of their weapon from their Weapon Collections, which will become available to all players when Forsaken launches on September 4, 2018.] Personally, I get the MoT armour. The cap is there and the event is to focus just on this new gear. However, the raid weapons at 400...well, that felt like it was just cos they didn't have time to build more new weapons so opted for an easy answer. Plua to push prestige raids, which imo still need more rewards.

I think you could find one a little cheaper on eBay @Sennex. I've still got my original one but if I hadn't I would've took a punt on one there. Guarantees are good but most old consoles tend to be pretty solid and I've never bought any of my consoles with a guarantee. What I would say is you may just need to invest in another aerial or maybe even an older TV. Mine works currently but it sometimes can flip out on screen which I believe is to do with the TV more so. You have to get Crazy Taxi if you do btw.

No Copyright Sounds have tons of hidden gems.

Anytime Adam! You need to keep trying them around your milestones to get some higher gear. I'll see if I am matey, if not, I'll be around another day. Equally keep getting around on here. Hopefully others can help too.
-
I'll take this armour. And at least it drops at 400.

Moderation of Speakers Corner
GazzaGarratt replied to phil bottle's topic in Site info and announcements
I'll summarise what I've taken from this good discussion. We'll keep learning from how people post, existing and new. That's where all this stemmed from, so not a big issue. Not changed my stance as i said earlier: - We aren't going moderate differently - We always need to think how we post regardless of section - I'll move things as usual and give transaparent updates - We eventually need basic guidelines for newbies. This includes just how to interact with FG. - We will need a section for this stuff somewhere and when I've worked out how the overall structure looks I'll update it I sit here and just thought, biggest point for all to take away - It wouldn't have probably been talked about if we had more footfall and more posts on gaming and other general life stuff. If everyone got behind the FG bandwagon its all gravy, baby (as Romeo and Christina Milian once said) Normal business resumed. Thanks for the feedback. Always useful to know thoughts. I also won't lock this if others have more opinions. GGFG.
