That worked out well for that other company didn't it....

I think assault is the worst class if I am being honest so with the others - Engineer, can destroy vehicles with RPG's and the mine, I think the mine is crap though and far too big so easy to spot. Recon is great for the respawn point, however frustratingly every time you place it in, your squad can spawn on it but as soon as you do it breaks and you need to put it back down. Sorry I missed this before I went away, tanks as with I think every battlefield they have weak points. Get them just right and you do a lot more than 25 damage, I know one of the tanks if you hit it in a certain place to the rear you, the turret rings and tracks usually do additional damage too I think. If you hit the armour then yeah it does 25 damage. I had another go yesterday with 2 of my battlefield guy's and enjoyed it, I am on the fence about buying it right away as mentioned before and it's mainly because of being burned by the last game. Squad play as ever does work, I think my more recent cons - - Snipers are overpowered and on some maps it becomes unplayable as now cover can be blown to bits it makes it difficult to move from cover to cover. - I do prefer guns to be locked to classes - The issue with 4 man squads. I think when portal is launched with the game (assuming it is) we can probably get round it by all selecting to join a server by searching them rather than jumping into official servers.

2 too many Joshes now and that makes to many Joshes if you ask me.... Anyway long time no speak Josh 😛

I did decent stats wise, you can tell this game is still very much my home when it comes to shooters, could not do this on COd. however I also notice that scores are not in the summary this time around which always used to be the focus to encourage more team play and such.

I am glad someone feel's this way, it was madness, you spawn in, you are in combat within a couple of seconds and fighting for your life. That's fine in the sense it is quick and you are straight into action but that's not entirely battlefield, Battlefield has always been a game you have been able to influence and turn the tide by getting a great flank or creaping behind enemy lines to capture a base to the rear. The games of Conquest I played and the points were constantly changing and it was a little disorienting. The game is better than the last one and I could see me playing this but more because I prefer this over COD, that's not to say COD is bad or anything and I played it with FG socially really but for a long time it has not been a series for me.

I gave it a go, the guy's I play battlefield with are generally loving it, I don't feel quite the same way, with COD being in a lull I can see this taking some of the players from there so will improve the longevity of the series however This feels like a middle ground between Battlefield and Call of Duty, the gameplay is fast, the maps I have played so far are very infantry focused, you spawn in almost in combat. The vehicle play was limited again and unlike previous games a tank did not feel like something to be afraid of, 1 well placed RPG could take it out.

I wonder if part of it may also be fear, if your brand is built off the back of a particular game, any threat to that game is also a threat to your brand. Trying to switch over to a whole new game if it is far more successful and trying to make something of a game or series that you have never experienced and fully understand is not something that I imagine would be easy to do.

It is also crossplay and I managed to get @LordBaguette to get it too. @GazzaGarratt come on pick it up and then we have 4! 😄

I am pretty surprised no one has discussed this on here, I picked it up on PS plus and I am playing it with a group of mates and it is brilliant. Up to 6 players, if you enjoyed the half life games, Black mesa and such it really has those sort of vibes. You begin the game as a scientist going into an underground base to presumably begin a new job but things go wrong very quickly, everything get's shut down and you are trapped under ground. Your goal is to find out what is happening, what is going on and to escape. The survival and crafting element is brilliant in that you are eating snacks from vending machines, having to purify water and turn plastic dinner trays into protection. It plays really well and is great fun and loads to get your head around. There are multiple levels of threats and then you can go and explore little portal worlds as well to bring back different gear or equipment. Please please please check it out if you are into survival games it really is a load of fun!

I am guessing they do it cuz at the start of their streaming career they are generally crap at games so helps with their channel but by the point they get big then they can't get rid because it would be obvious? I don't get cheating on games to be honest but I suppose there is no financial implication if I have a bad game or bad night, usually just a pride thing and realising I am getting older!

In the same boat, I pre-ordered the last one having enjoyed the few before, won't be doing that again. The group I play these games with are liking the looks of it but I won't lie to me it just looks like a call of duty game at the moment.

Good month really, lot's of new players for Day Z is always good and Lies of P looked really interesting when it came out, I feel like this is them jumping on the Clair Obscure bandwagon as I have a feeling the setting & atmosphere is similar.

There have been a few GTA spin offs, I never played it but there was also China Town wars on the DS wasn't there?

You can see it all on google how it play's but it feels old school GTA, more top down rather than modern GTA, the driving is a bit off but everything else is quite good fun.

I have never completed it and to be honest I have no idea why! Maybe I need to put it in the queue to actually finish!

I would have said Forza but when I played the last one (my first experience of Forza) it felt a little overwhelming with races and events everywhere, that said the cars were great in it. I have been wanting a steering wheel recently and contemplating where to go with it. If you are happy to go a little bit older I think Test Drive unlimited was quite open for exploration and just going for a drive or I think I would second James with The Crew. If you wanted to go a little bit different play Red Dead redemption, get to the point where you get a horse and just potter around on a horse instead?

Hey everyone, I know FG has been pretty quiet for a while, so I’m not sure how much traction this will get — but I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic lately and thought it might be fun to start a series of threads revisiting some classic games from back in the day. First up: GTA Vice City — a game I’m pretty sure a lot of us here played and loved. I wanted to kick things off by sharing some of my own memories and inviting others to do the same. Whether you played it solo, with friends, family, or just have moments that stuck with you — missions, music, mayhem — I’d love to hear it. For me, one of the biggest standouts from that era of GTA was the soundtrack. The 80s music was just perfect — imagine cruising down the strip with Toto or Michael Jackson blasting on Flash FM. I honestly think if Rockstar ever remade Vice City (or folded the music into GTA VI), it’d hit hard with fans. The setting was on point too — that whole neon-drenched, Miami-inspired vibe. I still remember the first time I flew a helicopter in-game (pretty sure Vice City was the first GTA to have them?) — planting bombs in a construction site, then later storming Diaz’s mansion… total chaos. And of course, who could forget spawning a Rhino tank just to wreak havoc around town? Or the classic 80s fashion — Hawaiian shirts and pastel suits everywhere. I wasn’t around for the 80s, but between the music and style, this game made me wish I had been. (Still a big fan of 80s rock!) So yeah — anyone else feel like sharing some Vice City memories? Favorite missions, hilarious moments, radio stations, or just how it made you feel back then? Would love to read your takes.

It's a shame, I was going to pick this up but I suspect it was a case of being too ambitious with the budget they had available. They should have drawn some elements back and improved others so it was a bit more polished then you build upon the rest with game 2 if your first game goes well.
