Hear hear @phil bottle. I do add some protection from keywords to try and stop as many as we can not even posting but it is inevitable we'll keep getting them over time. Like Philly the Great says, keeping reporting them.
Note, you can use a button instead of replyign to report content if needed. That sends an email straight away to all Moderators and Admins that a post has been picked up by someone that looks suspicious.
Thanks all GGFG ❤️🖤
Thanks for pointing out the report function, I’ll be sure to use that in future 🫡

Being born in 1993 I didn’t have too much time with video games in the 90’s. That being said, I did have a game boy and a Dreamcast. So I would have to say Pokemon Red/Blue for me, with a shoutout to SoulCalibur too!

Love this topic! There are so many great stories in video games now. It’s hard for me to choose but I would have to go with God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarok.
Some honorable mentions:
- Last of Us & Last of us part 2
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Gears of War 1-3
- Star War Fallen Order & Survivor

With FC 24 hopefully get a big tournament on the go could be interesting.
I like the idea of a tournament 👀
I don’t always have the time to join the clubs sessions but a tournament could be really cool!

I played and beat Tunic on Xbox Game Pass, fun little game but a bit too hard for me so I had to tone the difficulty right down 🤣
I don’t care for Destiny and I already have EA Sports FC. Really excited about GhostRunner 2 but I still haven’t got around to playing the first one that was on PS Plus a while ago, maybe I push these up the backlog!

Dead Space Remake - screenshots really don’t do this game justice!

$80 gloves
Nice to see Microsoft making a positive difference to the franchise🤣
Wow! They’ve actually released an item for £80?!
That’s insane!

My favourite player, Micky van de Ven got a Pundit Picks SBC this week — which was an absolute no-brainer for me to complete.
I’m not massively into UT, but I have enjoyed playing it this season. Never go too hard into getting any Hero’s or Icons either. I just enjoy building a good squad with players I like.
As an Arsenal fan, I can’t say I agree with your taste 🤣 but glad you’re enjoying FUT!
Question, do you play online or the offline modes? One of the main reasons I don’t enjoy FUT is that I don’t have the time or patience to play enough to be able to keep up with the best teams, so I tend to play the offline modes but get bored of them pretty quickly.

I don’t like the idea of selling season passes as part of deluxe editions etc, especially for games we have no idea are even good or not!
Even when God of War 2018, my favourite game of all time, had the sequel Ragnarok coming out I refused to buy any deluxe edition. Just give me my £70 standard version and I’m happy.
For Star Wars Outlaws, I want to see a bit more before I commit £70, but I probably will!

I would definitely say Lara Croft is iconic, but not the MOST iconic.
For me it is Mario. Whilst I’ve only played a handful of Mario games and he wouldn’t be anywhere my list of favourite characters, I do think globally he is the most recognised and iconic character!
If you did it for the different consoles, the for Xbox it would be Master Chief without a doubt. For PlayStation I think you could have a debate: Kratos, Crash, Nathan Drake come to mind. But I wouldn’t put any of these on the level of Mario.

How big are the screenshots? I increased the cap to 10MB per post a while back so should be enough?
Pictures stored on FG are the biggest source of cost increase on our host bills (like most other websites) so you can probably understand why theres a size cap on it - I wish there was an inbuilt system like whatsapp that makes the pictures absolutely tiny on memory (less than half a MB most times) but as we don't have huge traffic of constant photos its not too bad tbh.
So it appears that my screenshots are larger than 10mb which is crazy. Downloaded straight from the Xbox and PS app. I assume they’ve done something to the file size on their end as I haven’t had this issue previously …
I’ve found a way to make them much smaller so will try that!

It’s time for an update on the Open Critic challenge!
Since the last update we have had 7 games release! Here are their open critic scores:
Skull and Bones: 60
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: 93
Alone in the Dark: 65
Dragons Dogma: 88
Princess Peach: Showtime: 76
Rise of the Ronin: 76
South Park: Snow Day: 61
This means our scores are:
@J4MES OX4D = 5
@Andy_White_07 = -3
@Luseth = -4
Me = -6 … 😔
We only have 9 games left on the list, so it’s looking like I’m going to need a miracle to win this!

Has there been a change to the file size we can upload? All of my screenshots are suddenly too large to upload.

Are people still playing this? Is it still worth picking up?
I'm off work until Tuesday and can't decide whether to go for this or do the Cyberpunk DLC
I’m still playing this a few times a week with my mate, and I’ve seen some of the FG crew that I have on PSN playing pretty often too!

Hits GamePass today I just found out, now to decide whether PC or Xbox : )
I have downloaded it on Xbox, first time ever playing a Diablo game. Only played an hour so far so too early to give my thoughts on the game! Not sure if it’s cross play or not? My tag should be WelchyTV#2960 if anyone wants to team up at some point!

There’s a clip online from a former Blizzard developer, I can’t remember what game he was referencing but it was something along the lines of them spending months and months of time, and millions and millions of dollars developing a substantial piece of DLC content (similar to the likes of the upcoming Elden Ring DLC), but when they released it, it made significantly less money than a single simple cosmetic microstransatcion did on World of Warcraft.
I’ll try and find the full quote for you as I haven’t summarised it well, but essentially developers move towards microtransactions as they are time and cost efficient, and can often result in significantly more income than a substantial piece of content.
My personal view, they don’t bother me as I know I won’t buy them unless I really love the game and want to spend money on that game and developer (I buy the occasional Marvel themed skin on Fortnite).
Do they have a place in single player games? Personally I think it’s a bit greedy but at the same time the developers want/need to make a bit more cash, and I know I’m not going to buy them so it doesn’t bother me.
My issue comes when they go further than simple cosmetic items, if it’s something that significantly impacts the way the game is played or is pay 2 win on the multiplayer side. I haven’t played Dragons Dogma 2 but if they are charging people to create a new character, then that crosses a line for me.
Keep them as fun, cosmetic and non essential items then people can buy them if they want to have them, or can ignore them and carry on playing the game without it affecting them.

A nice idea, could be up for it depending on games chosen and time available.
Maybe a part of the conversation could be to agree an FG review score for the game out of 10 or 100 whatever...and post it on the forum.
Definitely like this idea!

I think it’s a great idea! I have always wanted to be involved in something like that but have either never found the right group or never found the time or organise it myself.
I think we would have to work out some logistics etc but definitely put me down as interested.
I would suggest one way to do would be to try and pick games that are on a subscription service (Gamepass, ps plus, EA play etc), that way the majority of people can play the game for free using the service they are already paying for, therefore not spending money just for this. I know not everyone will subscribe to these services and if not we can still try to find a cheap game on the service?
One potential idea is recording a review/discussion video. It will be difficult to arrange but if we could find a time where everyone (or the majority) could spare an hour or so to join up on discord and record a conversation reviewing and discussing the game. To upload to a Forever Gaming YouTube channel? Just a thought.

EA SPORTS FC 24 - Ultimate Team Review
in FIFA
Posted
Since my last post, I have gotten really into FUT again 😅
I’ve been sucked back into the loop of completing objectives in order to unlock the objective players, and completing evolutions. I don’t spend any money on packs as EA don’t need any more of my money, so have to get a good team the hard way 🤣
Playing mostly squad battles with some rivals matches here and there. Having a blast again crafting my ‘dream team’!
As and Arsenal fan I tend to focus on Arsenal players, you’ll see from my images below I have a premier league team which is my main team for rivals etc, and also an Arsenal team! Just need to add Saka to the team!
(The Gabriel from my Arsenal team should now be the 92 version too, the screenshot is a few days old)
