Just watched the Hobbit films back to back over the last few days. I enjoyed the story across the 3 films and I'll be moving on to the Lord of the Rings trilogy next so I can see what the links are like. Haven't re-watched LOTR for some time so it'll be good to watch them all. I thought the Hobbit actor Martin Freeman played the part really well, better Hobbit than Elijah Wood is in LOTR from memory.

So looks like we need 5 people to get this done. Anyone done it yet? Just wondering if you get some random trolls trying to ring a bell to put you out of sync.

Going to pick up the Monte Carlo and the Titan and Warlock upgrades. Anyone know if the Titan helmet is any good?

Bit late but hey ho. He's in the Reef tyis week: • Monte Carlo (Exotic Auto Rifle) - 23 Strange Coins • Transversive Steps (Exotic Warlock leg armour) - 13 SC • Celestial Nighthawk (Exotic Hunter Helmet) - 13 SC • Twilight Garrison (Exotic Titan Helmet) - 13 SC • Legacy Exotic Engram (Gauntlets) - 31 SC

Trailer released with game expected on November 15th on all platforms. Lots of hacking, of course and looks like they'll try and take advantage of the recent news around hacking to promote the game. I still can't see much of a justifiable reason why this game is worth more than a tenner after the awful predecessor.

This is just plain strange to me. It was first thought that to access the whole Multiplayer mode early, go to the Buffalo Wings restaurant and they'll give you tickets for eating there. EA have clarified the situation that eating wings won't get early access, as you can get tickets simply by playing the game however you can pick up additional tickets from Buffalo Wings - so in effect you can probably play it slightly earlier for a plate of wings. I bet the healthkick organisations will have a field day with this.

These are brilliant Rob, thanks for sharing. What's the main difference between the tv show and the games/this? Ash was a bit patronising however I would still enjoy watching episodes probably because it's all I've ever seen.

Absolutely! I can look to add one in, don't see why not. We have 2 spare slots as you can have up to 6 backgrounds to choose from so if anyone has another cool background to add let me know and I'll add it

So.....when you getting a ps4????

Is this AAA or indie?

Juggle trick awesomely demonstrated by good old Rob @PlasticGaming

Looks superb and some great little moments in there. Seems worth a punt.

I didn't realise when I posted this, we'd completed the main storyline Have you done all of the quests Sam? I still have a number of quests open so I still feel there is plenty to do, but I'm abit gutted there may not be more cutscenes. Also, Didds and I ran the Sepiks Perfected Strike. I expected it to be different but not too much....the fact that most enemies spawn in exactly like the normal sepiks strike just let me gobsmacked.

I'm seriously considering getting both. I enjoy the gameplay and master league mode for PES, however the Pro Clubs on FIFA have a definite pull to it. Even more so because there could be a decent amount of us that can play on the same side. Both games aren't worth £50 though imo, i really do struggle to part with that sort of money for games which both lack in certain departments.

Quest info, courtesy of Reddit and Gary (Wapntake). Saves some time if you still have your original one in the vault. STEP ONE Either breakdown one of the Khostov's you saved from when you rolled a new character to obtain the schematic, or: Go to the Plaguelands Patrol Head to The Divide. See this video Go through the building at the back The Divide (the one that you originally came from at the very start of the game). Follow the path all the way until you reach the area where you ghost found you right at the start. You'll see a large Ketch (Fallen Ship) in the distance, run toward it, board it, kill the enemies, open the chest at the back right to discover the Schematic. STEP TWO Talk to Shiro at the Iron Temple Head to The Divide as you did above. Go to the back left and through the room that originally took you to the Devils Layer strike. The area has been updated visually, so don't let it confuse you. It's one straight line. Keep going. On your way you'll see a Triangle Marker appear indicating you need to pick something up. This is WEAPON PART ONE. Once you have this, keep going forward until you reach the area with the Fallen Tank from the Devils Layer strike. WEAPON PART TWO is next to the main central building in this area. Again, it will be indicated by a Triangle icon. STEP THREE Head to The Divide the same way as before. As if you were heading toward the Earth Patrol spawn point, head through those tunnels. WEAPON PART THREE is in the middle of this tunnel area, again indicated by a triangle. That's it. You'll have all parts. Thank the Iron Lord Go back and talk to Shiro accept the mission kill the major and enjoy your Exotic.

Thanks Chris for sharing ----------------------------------------- Iron Ghorn This quest line was a doozy. To start it you need to look for a recon patrol beacon in Archons Keep(The symbol for it will be a ghost) Before following it make sure you have picked up a splicer key. they can drop from killing brood mother wizards while on patrol. Once you follow it you end up picking up a relic(the hammer) and having to fight off a SIVA Fallen Walker inside of Site 6. Once he has been defeated you have to scan the Iron Medallion that was behind him. After completing this step you have to speak to Tyra Karn. She then asks you to find more Iron Medallions. There is one in Felwinter peak and one in every patrol area of the Plaguelands. I'll post screenshots in a little while of the locations. They are not hard to find because your ghost points them out for you, but if you're having a hard time locating then you can ADS with a sniper. (Screenshots below) Once you've completed that you go to Banner Fall and run around scanning archives, a library and blueprints. Once that is complete the towers defense systems go off and alert you that you're under attack by Fallen. At this point a bomb is put on one side of the map and you must defend the area. It's a lot like defending a Warsat but much smaller area and a lot of exploding shanks. Once the ghost disarms the bomb you must do it again on the opposite side of Banner Fall. After both the bombs are done you fight a giant fallen captain with the help of the banner Fall defense system. You then return to the cryptarch and she asks you to find 5 pieces of SIVA cluster. I used the Megathread to find the easiest five. After that you are asked to go back to Earth and find the pieces to create the ghorn. It starts in the Steppes as you clear enemy Fallen and dodge slow mines and it ends up on the Frontier map from crucible. Here your ghost is in a room with Ghorn trying to reconstruct it while you fight off waves of fallen with the occasional elite captain with a scorch cannon. If you thought defending the bombs was challenging this level has many more enemies coming at you from different sides. It's fun and intense to do solo if you're looking for a challenge, otherwise go with a fireteam. After fighting them for what feels like forever you receive the Y1 Ghorn at 350 LL. At this point you can leave it like that or infuse it into the Iron Ghorn. Immediately after you are ordered to clear out the remaining enemies, to so this they spawn in a ton of heavy ammo crates so you can go wild with your shiny new rocket launcher. You'll have to fight off some SIVA Fallen dregs, walkers, and dregs on spikes. Easy pickings for a Ghorn. The quest was really intense, I had to solo all of it and it really gave me a challenge. If you feel like the story was too easy give this a shot without a fire team and you'll be sweating. Edit: Locations of the 7 medallions. Felwinter Peak This one is the easiest, at Felwinter peak you climb the makeshift rocks and it will be at the top. Lords Watch Immediately upon landing in patrol on plaguelands it will be in this room Giants Husk Upon entering giants husk head to the right and climb up the mountain onto the overpass. Once on it the medallion will be hidden in some creates on the right side. Archons Keep. Passed Giants husk there is Archons Keep, go until end where it splits off to Forgotten Pass and towards the Archon Forge and it will be here. Forgotten Pass Once in forgotten pass head towards the end of the bridge and it'll be on the ground. Bunker As soon as you enter the bunker area head towards the left side and stick to the left wall. Fight off some fallen and it'll be next to an open room. Site 6 From Archons Keep head towards the forge and keep going into the warrens, you'll be in a tight area and once you come out move forward while fighting fallen and it'll be to the left. Edit: Cleaned some things up, added the Giant Husk location, added how to star the quest and some tips to help find the medallions. Good luck Guardians.

Just done some of the first quest and Im really pleased with it. Storyline and cutscenes are well presented and missions are so far enjoyable. Hoping it's more to come over the first month.

Nice to see you're here Hammy, from what I've seen so far you fit in like a glove

I think he works effectively when we all want to rush into a room. As a player who doesn't play shield, I'm starting to enjoy when Montagne is being picked rather than Blitz, I think there more strategies that could be applied to him in certain situations.

Will be looking to do some tidying up this week. Please shout if you want to keep / change / remove / add anything you think. We do need the feedback. After speaking to a few people we'll look at moving the RPG subforums as all 3 aren't played by the community of late. I've been thinking of us having a Racing subforum in Sports, as it may help newer members see the posts within there. Could easily do the same with Beat em ups too if people desire it. If anyone has any games that they feel deserve its own subforum can you please add your feedback here. We'll add them in! Thanks all Lee

Such good fun tonight people! Great laugh doing all kinds of stuff (Supers, Punches, Grenades, No weapons, swords, infection) A few things stood out. We can make this a weekly thing on a Monday night. Whoever is on it is private party time after most of the weekly content has been done. Most were up for it tonight so I can set up a regular event up so we can add our names to each week if we're on or not. Ending on a traditional team deathmatch would be epic. Traditional PvP styles as we normally would. Lastly, to keep it fun each week, to buy the green guns on sale from the Gunsmith that Monday night and only use them. Tonight was a dirty hand cannon with machine gun. Hilarious fun and we could do so much with these games now. Great start to the week!
