Got the lad this for Xmas and I've asked for it too. Really looking forward to giving this a go as I've missed ATB styled systems.

Holy fuck @phil bottle!! Those 2 new tracks are a fantastic addition! Got to have some night races on Yas Marina. To have Montreal too is superb, what an iconic track.
 
Its been desperate for new tracks to keep it fresh. The new cars look nice too, maybe a full race with the Panda's would be hilarious with all of us.
 
A collector level limit change is great, this game really needs that extra feeling of chasing objectives. A real plus for the more casual hoarders like us 😄 Data Logger looks like one for the ultras.
 
Price - As the video above didn't know at the time of recording I've just checked...£24.99. Not sure on that. Seems abit much for me for just 50 challenges and £5 mil credits. Feel like they had to add teh credits to justify it in my opinion. For a game nearly 4 years old though, I've absolutely got my money's worth out of this, so it could be worth a punt because once you get going on this, its hard to stop.

This was one hell of a round, crazy amount of huge robots went down and really good to see so many working together. I think there's a few more 'big ones' that defo need more than 3 tbh, we just haven't engaged in them yet!
 
 
Well done mate! I do feel a little bit of the @J4MES OX4D completed it mate vibe. Its extremely good value for money and then December update (that really should be this week) is welcomed at a nice time.
 
@Luseth, yes defo seeing more PvP now in trios but I feel it could be way worse. Apparently there is a free loadout matchmaking element to it which may mean making friends abit could still happen.
 
@phil bottle, whats your thoughts on end game for an extraction shooter, given the pinnacle right now is supposed to be Tarkov?

So, just starting this thread for any RPG fans on here, I know that is a loose term but I am big into RPG's of all kinds and thought it might be a good thing to start a thread. Post in here what you are after be it combat style, setting or games you have played and you are after something similar and we can recommend games to each other.

Two new tracks dropping tomorrow. There's also paid dlc dropping too with new game features.
 
 
 

Glad you enjoyed it! Really hope it cleans up at the GOTY awards as it is deserving of so many categories. Also with the FFVII Remake point - maybe if they cut half the crap in those games, they would've been able to make the whole thing in one package or whereby it doesn't take 9 years to finish the 'whole' game. I was engaged from start to finish and never got bored or felt needlessly side-tracked but some of these padding-filled open world games today are just exhausting to think about let alone play! 

So I realise I have not posted on this since completing it. I just wanted to say this is a brilliant game and a real gem so I advise not sleeping on it.
 
I must admit I did not get the platinum, whether I will one day or not I don't know, I find myself not enjoying the trophy grind at the moment and just want to enjoy the games how I play them.
 
On the game though, it is incredibly atmospheric, the audio and visuals are great and especially as you come to the end the story comes together really well. 
 
Just to echo James' point above the game is streamlined and well made, the story flows nicely and there isn't a load of filler, when you compare this to the Final Fantasy VII remake for example you sit there and wonder why they put half the crap in the remakes, why not lower the price, put less crap in and draw a bigger audience.

Then this is where we got most of our info etc

I've just been to one of the most incredible places I've ever been. It was 4 years of waiting as we got stopped because of COVID back in 2021. 
Svalbard an archipelago in the arctic circle, the most northern continually habited town in the world. I've been to the artic circle before in Tromso but this place is a 3 hour flight north from Oslo. 
@Middle Class Caveman if you have any thoughts of going do it, most people haven't even heard of this place. We chose this last week as they do a whole local Christmas walk for the kids and it's in polar night, 24 hour dark, you can't leave the town without someone with polar bear protection basically they are armed. 
This two and a half day trip had a guided taxi ride to various places of interest, a few beers in their own brewery, my first snow mobile excursion, I ran a dog sled team no practice simply here ya go, we also had snow cat rides and reindeer stew out in the wilderness. I ended up in the background of an Instagram post made by the main content creator who lives their, I'll link her YouTube. Anyway I'll post a few pics and links. 

Had some good games tonight.  Especially when we just gathered more and more people until we were just a horde shooting everything like it was nothing.  They should crank the difficulty on some enemy that 3 people just can’t kill.  Force coop.  What you do after that however…..

I haven't played this much recently and I'm kinda at the stage where I know what is required to essentially complete the workbenches and then that's the game pretty much 'completed' in its current state. It's been one hell of a game and incredible value for money but there doesn't seem to be much of an endgame. I'm not sure how much legs this game has in its current form and I kinda wish the live event was longer and there was a bit more meat to it. I'm overloaded with gear to the extent, looting has lost a lot of meaning but the stuff I need is almost out of touch with the way PvP is right now and I can't be bothered taking in lots of gear, killing a major ARC and then getting shotted by a free loadout user. It's basically high risk, huge reward but at the same time potential infuriation. If successful, I then have less reason to play the game so I'm damned either way.  The skill tree is just pure bloat and whilst the Raider Deck is good to sift through, it is essentially built off the back of doing generic daily feats. 
 
Another annoying thing is spawning in late when trying to do a task. Free loadout users should be the ones being dropped in late to lobbies and not someone geared up only to have 16 minutes. Better off just heading to the exit and even that's a risk in itself. Longevity is definitely an issue and although I didn't feel this way at 40 hours, once you progress so much and do so many runs, you can really see where this game is at. 

Just saw this and checked it out.  Seems pretty cool so far!  Thanks.  

Sunderland still ended up spending close to £160m I think. They spent really well but if they were to get relegated, they'd be in a whole world of trouble for years to come and they wont want to go back to League One or end up doing a Reading. Leicester are due to be deducted an estimated 9pts this month for PSR violations too and their situation could turn extremely dire if they have to sell players in January to stop it happening in the summer. There's just not enough windows or time for teams who are going down to adjust their situation - I can understand why teams going up may be scared to spend because it means they don't have to try and balance the books to fit the stupid PSR rules in no time at all. Maybe getting promoted, planning for relegation and then trying to get promoted again isn't such a bad idea especially if you can pocket a huge sum. Spending it seems to have a double-whammy knock-on effect.

100% agreed. Add to that the fact that newly promoted teams can only spend a limited amount due to PSR whereas the bigger teams can just go and spend £600m plus. Declan Rice going to Arsenal cost nearly as much as our entire summer spendings. Newly promoted teams just can't compete. Seems that Sunderland may be the exception to the rule. Fair play to them if they do stay up. 

The gulf between the Championship and Premier League is ridiculous and it's getting wider all the time. I think Ipswich have a good squad but I don't think any team in the league this year would be good enough for the Premier League, not even Coventry. Ipswich last night created some decent chances and looked dangerous but just lacked anything clinical in the final third - partly down to our keeper having a great game and perhaps being burned out after Hull away on the Tuesday and some crazy away fixtures in succession. I can definitely see you lot challenging for promotion and securing a playoff place but the days teams can do a Bournemouth or Brentford and maintain a Prem place are long gone.

Don't lie! 🤣
 
I think our league position doesn't reflect our play. I think you could call it "generous". If we get promoted again, I think we would get wrecked most games and be straight back down again.
My preferred result would be narrowly miss playoffs, strengthen the squad and finish strongly for two more seasons before possible promotion.
Actually I would be happy with top 8 finishes every season playing entertaining football. Premier League is the dream but can be a nightmare as well 

I think that Leeds will be going straight back down. The recruitment team utterly failed in the summer and just didn't get in the players we needed. We've been crying out for a decent striker for years but we never get one.
Farke is out of his depth in the PL as well. I was all for giving him a chance after he got us promoted but I think that he needs to go. He's incapable of changing things up when he needs to and always picks basically the same team. Add to that the fact that he won't make changes at half time when it's blatantly obvious that we need to make changes. I guess the only issue is who would we get to replace him? 🤔

If it wasn't for all those last minute goals at the start of the season, they'd be sitting in 19th right now. Slot has to go as nothing is working. Pretty amusing situation as the consensus at the start of the season was that they'd with everything with all the signings they made yet they are lucky not to be in the relegation zone🤣

Hi, new here on FG
 
Looks like nothing has been said about valorant since release (forgive me if I didn't search hard enough). Seems to make sense with most of the player base being effectively poached from CS and primarily American. 
 
Wondered if anyone here was interested in having a go? I've been playing for a couple of years now and to date it's been a very different experience to other FPS games because really I'd describe it as being CS but with more imaginative util that pretty much blocks players from dominating matches with cheater-level aim ability alone as long as they don't also have strategic dominance.
 
PC player, the game is available for console too but there is no cross play because of MnK flash dodges let alone other things

Liverpool lose AGAIN last night. Never expected a freefall this badly.

I know what some of these words mean.....

US beating Uruguay is quite a big deal imo, looks like getting Poch as coach is finally coming good @Sennex
 
 

Ironically, that seems the best way to make friends and not get killed by other teams. Console trios seems to be the opposite as they don't spend time to say 'Don't Shoot' and have a chat to a randomer.

I think it will get game time but it has come out at a time where there are quite a few new games coming out and a some tough competition, notably Arc Raiders which has took off really well. It is going to struggle to keep the momentum going with a map here and there that have been let's be honest are pretty crap. If that is what they are releasing at this point when they still have a sizeable workforce on the game then just think of the dregs we will be getting in a month or so. 
 
Worse still is they are just sections of the Redsec map which show's where yet again they put most of their energy towards and yet again it won't take off for them, you think they would have learned after last time. Battlefield will never be a battle royale.
 
 

Guess the battlefield hype ran out fast?  I had high hopes too.
