  1. Nah that can't be right. It won't just be free for a month. If you 'purchase' it via this PS Plus offering then you're effectively buying the DLC. So it should absolutely be free for however long you keep your PS Plus subscription which you'll always have.
  2. I think the theme is it depends on what the MTX is. Or maybe it should be the total cost of one skin and have a cap on what one should cost. I don't agree how nice looking skins get marketed to young kids in Fortnite at the costs they are. No wonder why parents spend so much on that game as they should be just 1-2 quid given what they do in game is nothing.
  3. I don't mind them much really - you don't have to buy them. I think sometimes gamers aren't able to take a step back and put themselves into the developer/programmer company side of things, just to help give some balance. No doubt about it, its income for a company, but i'd suggest thinking about what its used for. If I had made a great game and there was an outcry to add certain cosmetics or even extra enemies then I'd have to think how do I pay for the devs to make it. Thats just common sense. There is a reason we're seeing not many AAA games being made now and its purely down to cost. People can say 'it wasn't like that back in the day', but we have to be mindful that gamers expectations change and shift over time. Demand for the best graphics, the biggest games, the largest content drops, etc...its relentless and I don't envy any company that makes games these days. Social Media and the way we gorge content is just something that can't be matched in terms of delivery of content in games. I may be widening the discussion but I hope you can understand why I try to take in both sides of the story before thinking immediately from the gamer side that 'they're just crap'. However, you still need morally correct businesses to choose the right reasons to implement MTXs. That's my initial 2p anyway.
  4. Honestly, if the Ferrari I now need to Platinum this game sells out before I logon, I will be screwing so badly. I've just found a website where they'll send you an email once the car is available in the Legend shop. It updates daily so can't see it selling out by the time i get the email. Might wanna have a look mate. Legend Cars - Gran Turismo 7 GTDB.IO The complete list of legendary cars in Gran Turismo 7, with all the details – including what's appearing next. Any other way of getting invitations other than just reward tickets?
  5. This is brilliant, thank you all so far. I've known for a while we have underutilised sections and its a cyclical thing really. We really removed things over time to make it simplistic and then I added new features on top over time to keep the place fresh and worth coming back to it. This feedback really helps work out where we can potentially remove certain areas off the main focus when they don't seem to be being used and try and circulate more key features. I think I've always been clear on one principle that has to stay for FG to work for me and that's the website being our main HOME. WhatsApp is chill and great for connecting, as is Discord, but its not personable as this place as is viewed as 'your place', not standardised bland group chats. One thing is for sure, I need to pick Announcements again, which are similar to what Welchy picks up around what's on. It was essentially a notification system of telling you all there's some new shit this week, go and check it out. It was just something that takes a while to get used to doing because everything requires time. Time around work, life, home, kids, etc. We can all make time though, if we want stuff to work. And I'd love to try yet another way of getting more people involved, I won't stop trying different ways to ask people if they want to get in on the FG act - just note that's its not the first I've asked everyone so its on everyone to recognise that a little more stepping up to the plate is all that's needed for FG to grow and flourish. So with that in mind, whilst I take some thought on some changes, let this be the place for the first way to gather interest on who would love to be involved in this stuff. Even if its just one small part of FG, it all counts. Remember, there's many things where people can immediately add value by just going into that section and creating or interacting with it. Quizzes, for example, ANYONE can create one if you are an FGer. I have also linked very many medals and achievements for interacting with this type of stuff, including responding to Events so it all counts, especially if you can see a nice shiny medal on your FG profile. Please keep the feedback coming in here everyone - its great we've had 4 comments above but more feedback and dialogue in here between us all will really help get things going at FG 👊
  6. Very interesting, nice share John! @Tar-Eruntalion 4v1 games have got some traction with Friday the 13th type games in the past so being on PC is probably the best place they'll get that. Not sure how they'll manage matchmaking though as thats not been their bag before. I just wish they'd push out a ton of RPG, quest shaping elements in the main 7 Days game as the sandbox makes the game worth playing, just needs a little more depth.
  7. The whole weekend of football was a delight to watch, maybe with the exception of the Man City game. Incredible cup ties, and what the FA Cup is supposed to be all about. For any neutral watching football for the first time, that was pinnacle football drama at its best. Fair play to all the ones that got through too. Every winner felt like they did enough in my eyes to win their cup ties.
  8. Yeah its crossplay but we haven't tried much of that yet. I'll have a look when I know I can dedicate some nights to it and hopefully we can squad up. Discord shouldn't be an issue to use too.
  9. New DLC soon perhaps? Or just another way to get a little more revenue?
  10. A great idea Matt - we did try it briefly before but as always its about getting enough people behind the idea. Its likely it would work best if its maybe 1 game a month and as you say, something cheap or free to get involved in that we can all focus efforts on to have a good chinwag over it on here. We also did FG Film Club like this but I noticed doing it weekly was a hard slog (although would love to see that back too). Loving the ideas of FG scores. I've never found a way yet to record them in a smarter way but that doesn't stop us sticking them on posts like Phil has mentioned. I think if you can have a think of some certain games that could be potentials to maximise the amount of people that could get involved in this, lets then see if we can make it work for the upcoming month perhaps! Nice one Matt! @Luseth
  11. Hey @oldskoolrave ! Great to see a new face as always! @Plumbers Crack is the 3 wise men all wrapped up in one here...with the odd Dad joke somewhere involved to keep us all sane. So if he's recommended you, then you must be golden 😉 Yep, Matt is right, Destiny 2 was many peoples game here for years. Its dropped off the last 12 months considerably but I know I am planning on making a big push to ask everyone to get back into it come June for the The Final Shape. Its such a fun game to play and help each other. So much stuff to do and lots we can talk and have a laugh with. Fingers crossed I'll be seeing you online with FGers taking on whatever Dungeon, Raids and Missions we have to try and get done 😄 You play anything else other than Destiny? We also group up on other stuff too just in case you like different things alongside D2. Hope to see you involved on here, a great place - the best place, to call Home on the interwebz (thats fact, not just my humble opinion 😄 )
  12. Really intriguing, agreed!! I think like with most MMO or open world games it will probably depend on how much content will go live at the launch to be able to keep people engaged in this. I do fancy giving it a go though just based off what I've seen above.
  13. Looking for a bit of feedback everyone! Always want to keep everything as fresh as we can here, and I know we have an awful lot of stuff to get involved in - sometimes too much! At the same time, its ours and we can do loads of things together so why not! FG has lots of spaces so would be ace as I'm starting to look at how we can keep everything fresh here, what parts you'd like better, more of, confuse you, don't understand, want more on how to get involved, anything missing we should have....the list i'm sure goes on. To help if you are struggling what things to send me feedback on, here's a breakdown of areas we have now or had in the past: Forums Articles Blog Videos Quizzes Events Predictions Merch Achievements / Medals Memberships Game Hubs Guides and Tips History Ideas Leaderboard Polls Raffles Roadmap Search Servers Tournaments FG Team Themes Most of these you can find in the menus on FG - just click the burger 3 line menu on mobile or hover over 'More' on the menu bar on PC. I'm all good taking any feedback, good, bad or just comments. If we don't know, we can't improve. Cheers all!
  14. Interesting to watch. Not much of an opinion on this right now. I think so much more is now depending on what you want out of a video game more than straight up graphics. Thats backed up by the Indie scene and quite a few double AA titles doing way better than expected because they are just fun. We'll see where cloud gaming goes this year. I'll be sitting, watching and waiting to see what happens.
    Great video mate! I know it takes a while to get these types of things together but I always feel its worth it when you see the final product.
  15. When was the last time you jumped on it @phil bottle? Like you said, hard to keep up with the updates - I feel like it needs a big re-launch to get behind certain objectives to play and energise people to squad up. Is there another wipe coming up anytime soon do you know?
  16. Yep, awesome to finally get games in with you! More to come i'm sure this week onwards. Remember...if you're having you've already won 😎 We'll have to try some crossplay, it was encouraged at the start to turn it off whilst it sorted its matchmaking issues out. I'll have to search to see if all is good now but let us know when you get on next, i'm sure some FGers will be on! It is hard to make time for it for sure so I feel that pain a little. I may set some nights up where maybe we all know they'll be enough around for 1, 2 or 3 squads to be able to go out there and have a good laugh with each other.
  17. Whilst some may not think its as challenging as the super hard games we expect, Hogwarts Legacy has one of the most satisfying gameplay controls to play with in an RPG. I've managed to find this small clip online that shows a small part into the spells and combos, including how you can flip to flying so easily mid-battle. There's so many combo spells to choose from, it really is a whole lot of fun. Smooth is the perfect word for it. No wonder it was the biggest selling game of 2023.
  18. I'm gutted I can't get to this! I'm out for a meal and drinks with the wife and family. Really hope that loads can make it and we can get to see loads of videos of who is getting voted out for no reason whatsoever 🤣
  19. I think thats a slightly better than half decent I think! Everyone should be putting adding them into their library, the last F1 game i tried was pretty good so its nice to see that latest one enter the collection. I'd tell anyone here that hasn't got Witch Queen to bank it in their library ASAP if we do call on it from June onwards.
  20. I have played a small part of the start - but more of the multiplayer when I tried a few missions out with Tom. I'd love to find time to go back to some single player action as I was a fan of how varied it felt when taking on the enemies.
  21. I think if the game has been fleshed out a lot more than it was, I'd be up for having a world on it. Can we get Private servers at all on this? Be interesting if so. Not that it needs it as its more about wherever the local host is at. Similar to Green Hell for me this one. Worth a few plays on it in a month to push the story through and build on whatever homebase you have set up.
  22. @LordBaguette will, its Ghosts of Tsushima all over again. I propbably need to get into GoT first properly before thinking about investing in this.
    As if the launcher wasn't enough...you then pull out your rifle in Tac Stance and nail a few more 🤣 Quality, Kenny!
  23. Another sound night, got straight in and no problems whatsoever! Also, looks like they have pushed another few patches out. Yesterday was the AFK fix and now they've upped server limits too: I think I would go as far to say right now, that if you've been holding off because of this - don't. Buy the game, and jump in with everyone. It is fantastic and a really enjoyable experience in missions.
