Maaaaaaaateee @Riff Machine , it really IS AWESOME!! I absolutely love that the game plays and feels so much like the old classic side scroller, but it also feels refreshed, extra moves and details. Actual content to replay and the fact it is 6 Player co-op online is incredible. Also, I really love the extra detail on the Story mode that it has a World Map, very similar to how Super Mario World would have, which i'm really impressed by. For £18 it is an absolute steal of a buy. Couldn't agree more Chad.

Went to come here and mention Hustle so I'm glad someone else has had really positive feelings from this film. I absolutely loved it. Sports films with a drama and uplifting theme will always be an easy and good watch for me but I think it was just how Adam Sandler played such a real role. Not his usual funny self but still had that natural sarcasm in it that was enough to just really love it. I don't follow Basketball closely but if anyone does, it is a MUST watch because of how many famous IRL players are in the film.

Great info post @Lurch . I think these two updates feel like they should have the most impact out of all the changes imo. It really changes the combat depending on how much you can either walk on walls, jet packs, or boots on the ground. I think adding verticality is a good thing, providing they have enough options to combat camping at high places. The ledge-hanging definitely sounds interesting and makes you feel like you can hide on a ledge for a short while.

On the England front, I think its perfectly acceptable to say that the performance against was unacceptable and deservedly lost badly and at the same time say that the Nations League was clearly used to bleed players in for the next 2,4,6 years as thats how Southgate has been. Yes, he hasn't won anything only one manager ever has for us. If you look at his past record, because thats all you can do, his Win % is higher than Sir Alf Ramsay right at this minute. I think a lot of younger folk too say this is the best squad we've had in years too which I don't think is accurate either. When they say best, usually thats through stats and stuff on paper. If thats the case then the late 90's and for 15 years onwards, was probably the best but we all know it takes a good team to get you over the line, not individuals. I've said it before and I'll say it again. You don't know what you've got 'til its gone 👊

How much does it come up in the rotation? Worthwhile enough to give it a few tries?

All good @Riff Machine , I now get to experience a bigger co-op experience on Shredder's Revenge while we wait!!

Here you go John @Tar-Eruntalion , if you just copy and paste the youtube link in the text box here, it should automatically embed. Yeah, looks decent tbh. Not something i would naturally pick up but would be interested to hear more from others.

Hi all! As luck would have it, to go along our many increasing server list for PC games, it was about time to go and set one up for a PS4 game so many of you FGers have somewhere to share on console too! 😄 You'll find a current Vanilla DayZ server on the console version available if you search 'Forever Gaming DayZ PS4'. Its initially set up for 3 months and we'll keep it going if everyone is enjoying it. Obviously be good to get some interest below and if you want any requests put them here now so we can work out what would be good for everyone to have in the server. No password for now, completely open to all. We'll work out a few basic guidelines so at least no one takes the pee out of it all! Let us know if you fancy getting on as i'm sure there's a few resident DayZ console players itching to get in those woods! 👀

3D modelling eh? @Greboth would i'm sure very much like some of your best efforts to be shared with his here 😎 its in the Hobbies section I think, or could be Cars as he's pretty good at that too. Job wise, happiness is the ultimate goal. Need to get the balance of not just always chasing the money so totally understand staying put if its great...and clearly nice chill days like today. FO76 is a game I wanted to get into but struggled. The idea that we could have a server was more interesting as I couldn't keep my self interest there on Single Player. Assuming you played the previous Fallouts then, which one would you say ranks highly?

Sounds like a great day tbh already! Ah, I wouldn't be too concerned about not much work. When it has been busy, i'm sure you've bust a nut to help them whenever needed so it all swings in roundabout ways. I now keep all my actions or stuff to do for work AND life on the same list. We sometimes focus too much time on work and get that balance wrong when really important stuff happens to yourself that you need that time to do those things. I feel far better about work/life balance. You've still had a busy day getting those bits done in the garage....time for more games I think!

Sounds like bliss if you ask me @Luseth ! 😅 On a sunny day you'd pick gaming? Of course! 😄 How are you with setting yourself some lists to do stuff or certain goals you wanna do? I'm not talking aspirational huge long term goals. More so mini simplistic ones to start with. Could just be completing on the latest game you bought (MW Camos perhaps? 😄) or could be stuff to share on FG too...do your worst!! 😎 Some good TV binge also doesn't go a miss. Stranger Things being a good one lately.

Ahhhh, its says not until end of the year @Riff Machine 😞 Unless its available on digital way earlier?

This WEEK?!!?! Man, i'm so off seeing this completely. I'm going to check stores to see if i can get it sent to me. Important question - is it crossplay/crossgen? I'm thinking about picking up the PS4 version because i'd be worried you can't play with people on a PS5. Can't find much online at all about it.

How the hell did I miss this thread?!!! I still have my copy too! What a game that was and this MUST have co-op online for those games in this collection. I can seriously see loads of us grouping up to play 4 player co-op on this! Reminds me of the time too we all went to the Arcade Club in Bury some years ago and we all button bashed the hell out of the arcade real life version that had unlimited play 🤣 Never really played many of the others. Have other people played them? What the hell?!! This is class!! Gonna have to find one that maybe people make these days with that on 😍

Here's the date reveal trailer for anyone that's interested. Not long to wait then and I think its great news thats in October this year and not next year. I agree @J4MES OX4D , I think they would struggle to charge anything more than 20-25 but I do worry now for the PvE side of this as I would really hope there's enough content in the game to keep the playerbase active. It'll be a bit weird for sure moving from 6 to 5 player teams. One less place to fill for an FGer 😞 Anyways, I'm still hopeful for this and you still get some nice hype feelings from watching the trailer above. A few new characters will help the mix, just need to lock a few characters down in each type of role to feel that you can help the team. Btw, here's the YouTube link below for the reveal event on Thursday. You can set a notification to watch it when this link goes live.

I've tried to get back into Clash of Clans which has had a huge update to support teams of people towards a large goal. If you have the time its worth it but I think I struggle to keep opening it and forget when stuff has to take days to build. Outside of that....Among Us? 😄 I know @NCA-Paendrag Brede used to play a huge RPG game that has quite a lot of people on it. Might be in his PPR.

Nice addition to the PC library, cheers James!

So strange. Sometimes there are things that are so obvious that if you can release at a certain time, the social media side of life would lap it up. I suppose with a game release like this, regaredless of when it gets confirmed, people will positively react to it by the bucket loads.

Oh man, I used to watch and get excited way before E3 was coming out. We used to talk on here about what to expect and what people were excited about, etc. Clearly, 2 huge things have happened and probably why I don't keep the same level of hype or interest in them currently: Covid - clearly made everyone rethink how they could do game releases. Now that people rely on social media more than ever, its allowed people to create their own game release shows at far less of a cost to go and show off at the old Expo events. The demand on current games. We want games far quicker than the usual 6-7 years to develop a AAA game, but unfortunately the only games that take less, are Indie, current games that are live and receive updates/patches, and game sequels/prequels from existing code so aren't true AAA games. The general average gamer's needs have changed so now they don't wanna wait too long and are also happy to get smaller games as long as they are good value for money. Their attention spans just fade so quickly these days that even live service games struggle to cope because people gorge content like watching a TikTok and swipe off their game faster than you can say anything positive towards it. On a more positive note, now Covid restrictions are being lifted gradually through the world, lets hope that we can have an E3 at some point again, as all things in life are cyclical anyway 🙂

I think that's the thing though. Many people back when it comes out give over the top reviews and talk like CoD has been a 3/10 game for years. 7.5 is a fantastic score for a CoD game, but I appreciate that the game is only NOW far better because it released with so little maps. Map rotation now is so good. We get to play so many different maps and it never feels like it gets old. This has always been the case, although some games bullshit can stop that too. This game doesn't. Thursday nights event on CoD saw 5-6 of us group up and dominate all night. The only time where it felt like we probably need to practice like we used to was for a few games of Search and Destroy. More so because we haven't played that in years (sad face). I'm not finding it a campfest atm. Maybe its just because of the years moved the sweaty players away, or that map rotation is good enough to force that not happening. I'll argue with you to the end of time that now Dead Silence not in the game as a perk has made it a better game because that invokes MORE camping. Honestly, I think you'd love grouping up again on this. The content I think was the main killer for people's views when it initially came out. I think the only spawn trapping I see now is on Shipment, which lets face it, is a clusterfuck abomination of a map that you are supposed to just have fun with rather than worry about spawns and K/D. It's the world we live in today - AAA games of the last 3-8 years are the strongest out there because of the constant updates they've had. Very few AAA games now get the content that you would expect in games 10 years old where we all got it from launch. Its a shame but maybe the positive is we are now seeing these games flourish, and for people that haven't bought them, they're only £15 pre-owned.

Thanks for this Matt, I think we're only gonna see huge improvements come 2-3 years after patch updates. Such a shame as there's a lot of the functionality I prefer in this over BFV. I may give it an update and we all could find a night to try it again considering so many of us picked it up to stare at it.

Couldn't agree more with Kenny, @BrettyBoy ! Make yourself a new intro for yourself and everyone can say hi!

Then maybe i'll check out MW2019 one considering its all updated and we're playing it regularly now.

I know many of us are online tonight so lets try and get us all on for something - you decide what! . Its multiple choice as we can play a few games in one evening to keep it fresh too. Pick as many as you want to and we'll see what comes out on top. Get voting folks and see you in the Game Room 1 on Playstation around 8pm.
