So we managed to try out the mechanics of multiplayers using Bomberman R from handheld to dock station with 4 players. The initial syncing of the new controllers took a while and then understanding how to make them to be used as 4 way. However, after a few minutes in the main menu we sorted it and it was job done. The screen resolution lost to the naked eye is really minimal. May be different on other games in the future. The additional sliding on of the controller extensions work really easily. As with anything new, taking them off again is a little stiff but they play and feel so good. And you can't buy the laughs you have with it. Mario kart 8 will be amazing on it for sure.

I'm happy to go back to the still logo. I'm not fussed either way. If it helps the performance then I'm cool with it. We can use the spinning logo on twitch and other things like that still.

Come on then ladies and gents, Control is back on next week so hopefully good drops should be a plenty too.

Xur is in the hangar this week at the Tower. - Legacy engram [Special weapon] – 31SC - Crest of Alpha Lupi [Exotic Titan chest armour] – 13SC - Shinobu’s Vow [Exotic Hunter gauntlets] – 13SC - The Ram [Exotic Warlock helmet] – 13SC - Invective [Exotic shotgun] – 17SC - Three of Coins – 7SC - Invective and Storm’s Reproach [weapon bundle] – 30SC, 25 Silver Dust - Truth and Heart of Gold [weapon bundle] – 30SC, 25 Silver Dust Make sure you pick up your 3 of coins and maybe some exotic shards if you need to infuse some exotic stuff to get to 400.

So Oracles are quicker. You need some more co-ordination than usual. We did tremendously badly, but I personally don't think they are that bad if we have a switched on co-ordinated team. I think not trying to forget there is snipers around the edge is one definite task to remember. Via the FG App

Well Square Enix aren't impressed by the Scorpio as they've committed to putting the Nintendo Switch as a priority ahead of this. To be honest, we know that the Japanese company likes saying shit just for the sake but it's quite a blow just after the release. Via the FG App

So did you guys try the beta and was it any good being on the ps4? Via the FG App

1.5 million copies moved worldwide in a number of days after release. Extremely impessive. Via the FG App

One of the main reasons I haven't invested in my PC gaming is because of how PCs over a short space of time for me become slow and not running at optimum performance. Can somebody help me out to understand why this would be and what could be done to combat this? I want to understand if its continued maintenance of wiping and starting again or/and if I have to buy new equipment to keep it at the latest and best performance to be expected. I even notice it on my laptop I have today which is only 2 years old but takes forever to turn on. I purposely also didn't download anything on it, not even games so I'd be grateful for your input.

It seems like quite a lot to get your head around in the game but the anime graphics look so marmite different and I love them. Which ones did you enjoy/hate and why? Would be good to know more about the series as I haven't played any of the previous 5 games.

Framerate and graphics are neither here or there for me. Unless you're comparing the SNES to an Xbox One to me the graphics aren't a deal breaker. It's great you get a little bit of a smoother screen res but it's all about the games and gameplay for me.

It's not pointless at all. I do want a PC. However, all great games in my life that I've enjoyed have been on consoles. I tried PC and it doesn't grip me for games like a console game does. Maybe its the controller, but for sure I hated over the years after installing a few things it would be slow to load even after system restore. I like the idea of packaged items that don't need tweaking. You have to move the times though as I'm well aware that the latest gen consoles are effectively PC Lite. Dont forget though, you can't buy the community you get on console. That's where I met you guys. Via the FG App

This does feel more like a system that isn't designed for games but for all round life. I think companies are forgetting if you focus solely on games they will make a better system rather than get extra kudos for supporting UI crap. Don't want to derail thread but I get the controller Rob, its just I get annoyed having to deal with PCs after a short time the performance always slows down as it isn't just for games. You don't get that with consoles. I'd have to keep upgrading with the times, which frustrates me. Its why I stopped investing in my PC many years ago.

This JRPG is finally out on PS4 and has ridiculously high scores on Metacritic. The anime feel of the game looks incredible and it actually feels like you are watching one most of the time rather than playing. It is effectively turn based action like the JRPGs with puzzles along the way. Highly addictive feedback from the critics and with average user ratings so far of 9.3/10 of really tempted to try it out. I thought the following review from Gameranx was helpful.

I initially thought Jackal's perk was very OP, however it just feels like a longer Caveira perk but just on one Operator. I can live with that. Mira seems very adaptable on certain maps when you the key points around a zone that you're looking to defend. I've still got to commend Rainbow Six for actually continuing to bring Operators out that compliment team play for different scenarios and environments.

Sounds like a new event is upcoming real soon. A tweet from the Blizzard Australia/NZ account leaked a video surrounding 'King's Row Uprising' that happened 7 years ago and is 'Confidential'...until April 11th/12th. Jeff Kaplan said in a recent interview with PC Games: “We’ve heard the call that a lot of players want a non-real-world-tied event, meaning they want some sort of set event in the Overwatch world,” explains Kaplan, regarding reception to the large, seasonal events that have kept Overwatch on top these past few months. “The event is going to be something - when players see the event and play the event, I think they’ll see that we’ve been listening to their feedback,” he continues, confirming - as many have assumed - that there will be a playable element to the April 11th/12th event. If they are really developing the PvE side somewhat this will be fascinating to see and get to grips with. It's already a gripping game, even if you're getting hammered (well, we keep playing one more game) and I think this is the part that really requires some broadening. Hopefully some further lore will come within the game too.

Well, to say last night we took one hell of a beating would be an understatement. Pretty sure it was the whole night without a win. Still, we seemed to have close matches until we buckled in certain strongpoints which quickly turned into being steamrollered most matches.

Do you know if they will look to chane the saved game from local server in the future? It would be great to have an FG saved map for all of us to join when we want to. Also, do we know if they will increase the max players up from 4? Phil said its a lot more on PC I believe? Via the FG App

This week Microsoft will be teasing their new console spec ahead of E3, which should be a full unveiling. It is expected to have 4k uncompromised gameplay and potentially more powerful than the ps4 pro - Terraflops and memory to be considerably larger. Talks have been we'll see Red Dead 2 being run on it to show its capability. That might be at E3 but its good to hear what we'll be looking forward to seeing on the day.

Nice post Justin! Crusader seems the next one to do for me. I want to try a bit more close combat rather than Witch Doctor. Also, would be good to know basics like levels of loot to keep, sell, gems, etc. Keep it coming mate, I think this is a great game to party up on, especially now seasons has come to console.

Hell yeah! @Chookes may get annoyed with you though, you know how sensitive that ginger boy gets 😆 @Stretch616 @crispymorgan @RLPK and anyone else fancy doing something like this? Or could give Gamebattles a go? Last nights games were pretty decent and rewarding on ranked.

Got exotic Thagomizer Titan gauntlets drop at 393 and my key for the week. Me,@Diddums and@crispymorgan ran it twice all around LL 390 and found it reasonable difficult. Zhalo Supercell makes it a damn sight easier with the Arc Burn. Via the FG App
