That's a really good and short video Justin, cheers for that. Looks more of an attack and dodge rather than attack and parry in Dark Souls games. Still quite tactical though. The skill tree looks like something I could really like. Lots of progression but not to heavy to understand.

Maybe IGN were obliged to big it up by a contract with Microsoft earning them some pennies pre-launch? Would make sense. As Phil said, if its half the price then maybe its already at its correct value?

I usually pick up the AAA games that you guys will as I think a real test in knowing its a good game is if you can have fun with your mates. This might be me being naive here but whats wrong with a game set in WW2?

Thanks Rich, but I didn't want to change my iTunes files because they work on my car as well as the iPod we have. It was just Hayley's car that doesn't like it which was weird as I'd expect all latest cars to support all music file types.

How far have people got so far on Escalation Protocol? Anyone beaten bosses yet? I know@Bruce has on PC but I've only got to Wave 4. Also, do rewards drop after Wave 3, 5 and 7 still?

How is Banner for everyone this time round? I think I'm going to try some tonight with Suros Regime and Kibou AR3 (Ana Bray AR).

Nightfalls done with Chad, Nick and Brede. Want to get a bit more Power before really giving Prestige Nightfalls a go. Has anyone used Challenge Cards yet?

Don't worry bud, we'll get our heads together and drum something up ahead of next week.

Don't think I'll ever not like this song. Can't beat abit of Wilson Philips. Via the FG App

How does it render? The big problem I had with PUBG on Xbox was how it renders and felt so laggy most of the time. As it looks a little more towards PUBG I do worry about the game when multiple players land in the same zone.

LOL. I'll try and be on with you mate, need to get your ass on before you pick up Carter more

We're about it all Shucker, we really are a family of people, closer than possibly your IRL friends and we've wanted others to come and experience this with us. I think everywhere should be as active as each other as, because as you say, there are tools for everything we all need. For instant chat, quickly grabbing a team together and banter you don't want to be found exclusively on the web its an instant chat service, so Discord is your best bet. For all really useful info on stats and news, opinions on games and real life stuff I believe the website is the key place as its easier to filter and read through it. I've been keen om developing this further e.g. stats pages for FGers, blogs, etc but I need development help with that. As you can see theres way more here as well e.g. quizzes, videos, etc, but as most don't see it if you don't look around it can be easily missed. This place is for everyone and it can be what everyone wants it to be if they ask and help where they can. God, i want people to be involved more in Feel Good Forever Gaming Fund but if I dont know them how can we help? The funny thing of this convo is it only stemmed from a little hiccup where people just forgot to say I'm hopping to a different game. That stuff can happen from time to time 😂

I made that point clear to regular website users and whatsapp users. I actually did more when I left a group called FG on whatsapp. The problem always comes when instant chat services get full with really useful game and life chat that is more suited to the website. My point to probably clearer (which I'll make clear to the 3/4 regular Discord users) is I want everyone to use the services we have as a community and I will ask active users of all places to use everything. I dont want to encourage as much as I have to but at the end of the day we are too small right now and we need support until a day comes that naturally people come to all angles and enjoy FG for what it is. At the end of the day if people want this place to be awesome most of us need to help push this place a little more. I know you're with the vision of FG Rob, my words come from positive places as sometimes we all need a kick up the arse to help around here. I have to be clear to everyone at FG.

Here's the deal. I want to make it clear when I took over FG I was pretty disheartened by how people use other formats and ignore the website. It took a long time to engagement back to a steady state but also I had time to learn over the months and years that if we want FG to be fun and engaging then we have to accept all formats of FG. That includes Discord, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc. At the same token, if you look at any family or community they will always have a base where you come and then branch out to other sections, acknowledging not all will go to every section. However, the reason we keep the Hub at the website is that we are far more than a forum. there is so much on here than anywhere else and because we're relatively small due to active users (people who post) you feel the quietness a little more than say reddit. Rob, I agreed with you initially that people who care most about FG should be on both. But equally the most active Discord users can't get pissy when we share stuff on FG and ask nicely to give their view. It goes both ways and at the size we are we know we probably ask people to help the FG cause a little more. Theres enough examples out there to show that places like Reddit (a forum) can work together with all the other channels of contact. But remember, this is more than a forum. We must remember this is how we met and this is why I keep this going. What I need people to get off their high horses on both fucking sides (regular members and new ones) stop being so god damn lazy and help the FG cause, if they truly care about FG. This place is bigger than any one person, including me. End. P.S. This isn't like me but I care more than anyone to keep FG going. If you did you will understand where I'm coming from is a positive place.

As part of trying to create a simple schedule so people have the chance to at least have a fun large party to play with, I want to get a list of games you'd like us to feature, similar to FG GTA Fridays but more on a monthly basis. I think its unrealistic to expect people to follow a weekly guide as alot of the time people like to pick up and play a game of their choice on any given night. We need to give things a chance though and it will turn out alright just like GTA Fridays did. It can even be small party games and we all jump on to do specfic challenges we set ourselves e.g. Pistol only Fortnite sessions or team speed runs on Co-op games. I'll start. I think we need at least a night on: - Black Ops 3 - Cards Against Humanity I want some real feedback here and for everyone to stick by it and give it a chance.

W/C 22nd May Developer Update They're continuing to make little steps forward with the QoL updates in game. I still think next week is the time to hop back in though as May 29th brings the first free content drop to players The Hungering Deep. Their plans to keep campaign drops in-game after completion are a good one, however that will have more impact when you can replay 3 or 4 different campaigns they need to drop. May set aside a night on PC to try it out next week - @phil bottle you game?

This was interesting watch, thanks James. Good points - I like that they are trying something different with the health regen. We're always asking for something different so no harm in trying it. - Good to see its not all about kills and assists count as the same as kills. Coming from a person that wants to try and support the team with a kill but doesn't get rewarded much from it, seems like a great move. Bad Points - 5v5. I wish games could hold down a standard party size but at the same token, there doesn't seem to be many games going forward that support 6-8 player teams which would be a nice change. Undecided - The select player at the start of game. It's trying to follow Overwatch's style but I'm not sure that works in a CoD. Like some of you guys say, keep OW to OW. Depends if it really changes the way you play or its just another gimmick. Overall though, seems like a game we could get some time sunk into it.

How is everyone doing with their milestones? How is this week's Nightfall?

The Clan XP Engram is still bugged - Don't turn it in! It will be fixed with the next patch update which comes next week on May 29th.

Watched Spiderman Homecoming. Never ever liked Spiderman as a Hero and the other earlier films I've watched back my dislike towards him but this film was completely different. The new Spiderman actor plays it brilliantly and I love the humour in it. Hits the right angle for a Spiderman film.

More than happy to try this out this week with others. I think we'll get more engagement from randoms too due to the Nascent Dawn steps. Got to Wave 4 last night. Does anyone know where the loot was for Wave 3 completion? I didn't seem to drop anything specific.

Plenty of decent randoms doing EP for the first task of step 3. 10 wave completions required mean Escalation Protocol is going off all the time.

This is one of the things to pick up again. To share, it would be really good to have something called 'FG Gamerscore'. If anyone has ideas they want considering in this please shout up now.
