  1. So first day back at work and I have next to nothing to do, I am playing around with my 3d modelling software, building a few more templates and the such but I am likely to have a lot of free time for the foreseeable whilst the higher ups try to win new work. The senior designer has asked about dropping down to 2 days, that will be an indicator then as to what they anticipate the next few months will bring. This thread isn't to discuss my workload though in that regard. What I am after are for some suggestions on some free software / apps that I can spend some time learning and playing with during my free time. I am not the sort to rest on my laurels and whilst I will be reading materials based around my job and the such it would also be good to learn or develop a new skill or 2. (I am likely going to have a look at Macca's thread after this one to see the suggestions around video editing). My ipad's in the process of upgrading but things I can play with on there would likely be my preferred but I can use my work desktop as well for anything more demanding. So yeah, does anyone have any suggestions?
  2. It is a physical release and i have 2 chapters to go. I am aiming for the plat trophy so doing every little bit i can I was a little disappointed that the clip where Sephiroth is standing in flames hasnt had much done to it. But overall they have done a good job with it 🙂
  3. Have any of you delved into it much? I had a brief experience with the psvr when it first came out and I think I went in too hard and put myself off it, ultimately sold it and have not been back since. However I got a deal on a refurbed Oculus Quest 2 the other day and my first impressions have been quite positive, a big improvement over PSVR, the controls are brilliant and it has additional features which are useful such as being able to double tap and see what's actually going on around you when needed etc. I do need to work on my VR tolerance now so I am going to spend 10-20 minutes everyday if I can just having short experiences while I get comfortable but there are a number of games I want to try on it as well as wanting to try and model some architecture / building services in it as well (so try and explore the productivity side of things). So yeah, has anyone else tried any of the headsets, what are your good / bad experiences?
  4. That's a drop in the ocean for them, they won't even batt an eyelid at paying that i'm sure.
  5. I have put maybe, will do my best to get on though, would be good to get a bunch of us on 🙂
  6. So they have re-released yet another Final Fantasy game and I picked it up as I tend to do, I did not give origins any time really but imagine I will try it again at some point. This one however was originally a PSP title, they have done a fairly decent job though of giving it a new life with the visuals being uprezzed and in some instances redone and the combat has been improved. It play's quite well, I suspect the only downside might be that it is a short game compared to a typical Final Fantasy release but it provides some of the villains back story to the FFVII games which is good to delve into. Has anyone else picked this up?
  7. The shield did need a nerf, it may have gone too far though. That said I have it on mostly as ninja say's a turtle shell, it just provides a little extra protection if someone get's the drop on you and gives you chance to get away into cover before fighting back 🙂 On the flip side, with it being 3 hits, it's not exactly going to be easy for those who enjoy it to get the gold camo now as well.
  8. Yeah, I have it installed and will likely be playing it through for the third time 😄 I am quite the fan of the series and still have the original physical releases of the first game, I only have the 1 book so far though and am yet to read it so not sure on what if any the differences are between the different forms of media. I can say though that the storytelling of this game is brilliiant and the scenery looks fantastic, the only thing that lets this game down is the clunkiness of the controls.
  9. I thought I would ask you guy's what gadgets you have that you have bought that have been worth the money or better than you thought? I.e. on my old TV, it was a Philips tv and on the back it had the philips hue lights built in which really made it just that much better when gaming. I have contemplated buying the hue sync box and lights but they are a bit too steep pricewise. Did that £10 controller stand prove to be a surprisingly great buy? Are there headphones you swear by, have any of you splashed out on fancy controllers etc etc
  10. Has a third place match ever been watched by more people than the final? I feel like if it's ever going to happen it could be for Morocco lol
  11. My go to is Overkill, tracker, Cold blooded and Ghost. Overkill let's me run round with a shield on my back which just gives me a little extra protection, it has allowed me to get into cover a couple of times when someone has got the drop on me. I put ghost / cold blooded on as I was a bit bored with shooting down UAV'S, VTOL's etc as some rounds it seemed to be all I was doing.
  12. I don't bother too much with demos or betas these days as I find they are builds that tend to be quite a few months older than the date they are released. If you consider that's potentially September maybe even August build, that's getting on for 4 - 5 months polish before launch and that can make quite a big difference to the end game. I actually have it on pre-order, even if it's just a glorious looking world and game that would be enough for me because right now my PS5 feels like a glorified PS4...
  13. Not sure if any of you played this on the GBA/ DS, I could never get into traditional mega man, I am not much for a side scroller but this spin off series I found really fun. It was pretty much an RPG with grid based combat and somewhat in the style of pokemon when it first game out. Well there is a collection due to come out next year and the date has finally been announced, having not played the 5th and 6th games I will likely be picking this up, does it take the fancy of anyone else here? Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Release Date Announced - IGN WWW.IGN.COM The Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, which collects all ten Battle Network games, gets a release date for Switch, PC, and PS4.
  14. Thank you, though I feel like you type this bit out through gritted teeth 😄 But yeah it has been incredibly welcoming here and getting to meet you all quite early on was really good 🙂 It genuinely feels like just a big group of friends (or as you put it Lee a family).
  15. I did enjoy Guardians! I tried GoW (the first game), on paper it's my sort of game but I struggled to really get going with it unfortunately. I would definately recommend the Witcher 3, would make for a good christmas game as well as there are some snowey / wintery sections as well. The storyline and side quests are brilliant and it's a game I am contemplating playing again with the upgrade coming out. Maybe I will finally get the plat trophy (I think I just needed to use the crossbow to shoot and kill so many people in the face or something like that) 😀
  16. Ah what's your twitch Phil? Will give you a follow and look out for a stream or 2 🙂
  17. That's good to hear, this was one of those games that looked great and had some real potential only for it to be somewhat lacklustre on launch. A lovely world created but it was pretty empty from what I read. I will give it a go now it's coming to ps plus for sure at some point.
  18. I would second this, it gives you the console aspect, it's portable but if you wanted to, could also get a dock up and running to use it as an actual computer as well.
  19. Christmas tends to give us all a bit of free time (with the exceptions of running round to visit family). So do you have a game in mind to play over the christmas spell, do you tend to pick christmasy games or is it just whatever's next on your to play list? I have the remastered Final Fantasy Crisis Core turning up soon so imagine that will be my go to game over the christmas break. I should have the platinum trophy for Spiderman this week as well so should have space for another game to play until it turns up so depending on what it is, imagine it might extend into the christmas break. So what games are you guy's going to be playing? What have you set your sights on?
  20. It's one of those games I would have liked to have picked up, more of the batman games but with co-op should have been something really good. I imagine I will try it at some point but the reviews have certainly put it on a wait until it's below £20 game now which is such a shame.
  21. Don't take anything away from Senegal though, the first 30 minutes was as much because of their tactics / game management as well. They set up to defend and then nick a goal, they almost managed that as well. We only went on to a comfortable victory because we got the first goal and they had to attack then and it opened up spaces for us to counter attack. Had Senegal's first goal gone in and then Senegal sat back and defended the rest of the game I am not so sure we would have gone through. That said thrilled with the result, France will be a tough game next but I feel there will be goals at both ends of the pitch.
  22. Welcome aboard 🙂
  23. Hi trouble 👍
  24. I am definately not as good as I was 10 years ago but still a bit of fun 🙂
  25. So I have been working towards and picking up a few gold camos, mostly coming through gameplay and just trudging along with a gun until I get it ^_^ And just typing this out I realise I have a couple more than I realised. So far I have (just working through assault rifles at the moment as they are my preferred choices, imagine I will move onto SMG's next) - Taq-56 (Got this last night) M4 Kastov 762 STB-556 Kastov 545 I am now working towards the Kastov 74U which isn't too bad, I have 4 of the point blank kills that Lee said are a pain in the ass but I find these are ok if you manage to get the drop on someone and I have 10 of the 30 crouched kills. Maybe if I get the lacman 556 (have not used this yet) and the M16 which I haven't unlocked yet I will be able to look at platinums on the assault rifles before too long.
