  1. Had my first few hours on Dirt 4 last night and it was the most unexpected fun I've had for a long time. Straight off, the menus are inviting and the guide that talks you through is clear and concise, helping you along with relative ease to a complex game within the detail. I chose Simulation over Gamer (Arcade) as I used to love the Colin McRae's with that driving style. Not that I was any good, but it felt so damn amazing when you pulled off a clear stage sliding around the dirt rally tracks. I started off a little slow, trying to remember how hard the brakes would be in rally games and how forgiving it would be when you make a mistake. I started at Pro, second option, like Hard really. My first stage went pretty decent until I hit massive fog so you had to immediately listen to Nicky Grist giving the instructions; 4 right, 4 left, over crest. That's when I found out how unforgiving the game was and exactly why I love it, turning slightly too early and hitting the apex of a corner when he has told you not to cut, nearly damages your entire stage. The true, gritty sounds rip through you as you hear the gearbox rattling away tried to help pump you round the stage as fast as you can. The graphics are more colourful than expected, yet show true deep colours on a showery dirt stage through the woods. When I completely lost it after a fantastic split, I actually made the car flip. It rolled a good few times and even though I was gutted for my was-good run, I knew this was an addictive game to play and enjoy. The thrill of having certain failure on the end of a mistake at high speeds is epic. I won a few races and tournaments before logging off when I got the hang of turning into corners and striking the balance on the throttle and brakes again. Tonight I quickly checked the 'My Club' element. Again, they've thought it through. Similar to TOCA Race Driver with the great story campaign, it has this but extra detail yet not too complex. You can still tweak the car at each rally if you know what you're doing. I tweaked my brakes for more responsiveness which I think helps when you start out. Great game and just what the racing genre needed as not a great deal stands out right now. I'll stream some more when I can.
  2. I'd love to try and do this again but it takes a lot of energy and time on my part - which I haven't got massive amounts at the moment. There's a few things I was looking at actually to make it fun to show our fixtures and imbed a little tournament on here so it would be cool to look and visit. Let me look into this before I start rounding people up. Let's face it, I doubt anyone else will sort this out based on the last few months. In the meantime, why don't you all put your name down again on this thread if you're interested in Rocket League doubles league/tournament. That'll be a good start.
  3. Haha!....Read again Marty, read the factual statement donkeybutt You pillock Now sort it out!
  4. You donkeybutt, you haven't logged in with your FG account so you posted with your separate Tapatalk account!
  5. Tapatalk and Mobile App are now fixed. Thank. Fuck.
  6. I've updated the plugin. Should take you last post always now.Also, I think you must mean the click unread all button. That will have a pop up because otherwise like most forums, you could accidentally read everything and then you won't know what you've have or haven't read. Many people read things via the Unread Content button so I don't believe I can trun it off. Sorry. (its only one more click though, right?) Do you mean just the brightness from the blue or the entire blue? I think the blue compliments the red buttons quite well but I can see what I can do once you've got back to me. Have you got the same issue still Dave? You should be on the new theme now so you should have all the reactions available (like, thanks, sad, etc) Thanks Crispy, I need to understand this more and get it to work when you don't have one of those so it completes it.
  7. It was the patrol and tons of exploring that I've been looking for. Clearly a story to go with it will be ace. It's a game where most of us didn't mind too much that we didn't know the backstory because D1 was such a good game but i'm really keen on understanding where stuff came from, why people are fighting each other, what hidden secrets are behind the key NPC's. As we all know Bungie, they have been good in the past to link up why things are said or seen in the game. Things like this would be amazing if they linked them to quests or hidden secrets to help you get some decent loot. I don't have much of a problem with the game mechanics themselves, they could've left them alone for all I cared but its nice to see them trying to improve where possible as long as it doesn't come at the detriment of the gameplay going forward.
  8. It's just in the PSN store. Fortnite The Full Game. Theres multiple versions that cost money but look like they have tons of add ons.
  9. Sorry @Greboth and @tronic44 been a little busy sorting out other shit. Will do this tonight. Do you need from others so I can get on to them?
  10. Well as it could be the very last time that we can join up and smash Guardians in a 6-stack just wondering who wants to entertain some iron banner this week coming? I did put a calendar event on ages ago so check it out or just let us know here. Always have enjoyed Banner, providing its the right game mode (Control).
  11. I got an email about this today so you can download it for free to try it as its in early access. Worth a stab I suppose.
  12. Anyone picked this up yet? Justin had mentioned its partially like the witch doctor so it sounds pretty up my street.
  13. Don't worry about the profile completion for now. I need some time to look into it as if you complete it, it stays at 0% for me. I configured everyone over to this theme now but if you don't like it the others are still available and will remain that way. If you don't like let me know what you don't like about it. I'll see what if i can do tonight based on what you guys said so far.
  14. Its all about the retro look. Not only has 98Demake on youtube took Rocket League and recreated it for the Playstation 1, he's made the case to boot. This little video just shows how awesome it would've been if released nearly 20 years ago. He's done a few more that are pretty cool, Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us to name a few. Really, really cool and definitely worth a look. I think if there was enough interest, this game could be made for the PS1.
  15. Change your theme at the bottom to 'Dreadnought'. Then like
  16. Not sure i get the same as you for new posts. I press the blue star on the unread section. Its probably because the plugin to go straight to last post needs updating. I need to update a few of them so you checking these things helps me work out what needs updating / fixing. I marked a section read yesterday but didn't get that. Do you mean when you click ALL section read? As above people, any comments, stuff you want, shout up. I'll install the pages soon now I've purchased it so if some people are interested getting involved in this stuff let me know.

  18. I've raised a further ticket for tapatalk. I'll keep you all updated. In the meantime, i've changed the default theme to Dreadnought whilst I fix issues. All the other themes are still available at the bottom of the page so you can change from this at any time. I'll be updating bits and pieces across the weekend so bear with me. Shout up whatever you see that may need doing or is good or bad or indifferent. Cheers
  19. So we are now set to a Clan which will mean we will get the perks that has been mentioned previously. I'll keep an eye out to what is involved in it as there isn't anything showing on Bungie.net as of yet. Make sure if you're new to the clan you register the clan to show uo against your gamertag - you have to do it through bungie.net and the Interact button. I'll look into a Clan roster shortly. Anything people want to see or others things you'd like to do to get ready?
  20. This fucking Tapatalk is driving me nuts. Last 3 hours has gone by and no connection. I've managed to make some progress so i'm hoping I can keep looking at trying a few things to get it to work. Please be patient people if you're primarily use the android app or tapatalk
  21. I have more of an urge to play the 4th one so it's good to know they aren't connected as I don't like picking up a game half way through a story.
  22. Cabal's (Go Balls) Deep. I thought it was quite ingenious at the time Chris said it....
  23. The annual price is hiking up as of 31st August from £39.99 to £49.99. Well, that's pretty shitty if you ask me but now I can understand why they've just released much better games on PS Plus this month. Still though, it doesn't seem reflective of what PSN functionality. They need to being LFG in console and gifting games, both are fully intergrated with Xbox.
  24. Say it quickly Dave......
  25. Tapatalk is down - trying to update as soon as possible. EDIT: It's still down and the tapatalk application won't load up. I've raised tickets with both Tapatalk and Invision. In the meantime the app or tapatalk won't work I'll try and get it sorted ASAP. Grr.
