What Game are you currently playing ?

[Will370z]

Exactly why I'm avoiding them

 

I hate hard games. I play everything I can on Easy if I get the choice, as I want to be able to enjoy myself and relax rather than stress and get irritated by cheating AI or me just being rubbish. I play for the story as much as I do the action.

 

I know what you mean but i like setting the difficulty to hard and earning every step as an achievement, made the arkum city, asylum games really rewarding

As I'm getting Black Ops 3 on Friday I have been playing MGSV with a bit more vigor as I know COD will be taking up a lot of my time this weekend.

 

Just wondered what sort of stats people (Ekona, Fodder etc) have now on MGSV?

 

 

I'm now 25% complete with 3.2million GMP, 55875 Heroism level & an Espg rank of 403533.

I've 700 staff on Mother Base ~ every platform is at level 32 or above with my Support platform & Combat platform being the highest with both at level 35.

 

Just nosey to see how you others are getting on.

[Fodder]

GM I've hardly had chance to play due to a mixture of work being sick for my first weekend off in a month but I got an hour in on Monday night and I was on 18%. I'll have a look at the other stats tonight if I get chance.

 

The OH had said she will get me either Fallout4, COD or Assassins Creed for my birthday at the end of the month and as I've only just started to play Forza6 I'm really struggling with limited time

[Ekona]

Think I'm 35% now, only about 1M cash (but I spend a lot on upgrades), Heroism looks similar to your numbers and Espionage level I have no idea.

 

Now I've figured out that when you set the game to auto-manage your men it can ditch the specialist guys you get from the Side Ops, I'm through with this. No more playing for me, I'm now waiting for Fallout 4. I'd only just unlocked the FOB stuff too, which appears to be an absolute crock.

Exactly what I thought about the FOB.

 

I finished the game the other day (NO SPOILERS DON'T WORRY)- IMO I didn't like the ending, but it was still a great game and will probably come back to it at some point. I also need to give the multiplayer a bash to see what that's like.

 

Pre ordered Fallout 4 as well so that will keep me busy for AGES!! Cant wait.

[Mudman]

+1 on Fallout 4 and then Battlefront a few weeks after

[BulletMagnet]

On Assassins Creed Black Flag, felt like being a pirate

Well that sucks balls, ....surely it should ditch the C-E class cannon fodder guys first followed by B class etc. Makes no sense otherwise.

[Fodder]

Well I picked up where I left off and I'm stuck....

 

 

 

I'm on the mission where you need to find and then steal a truck transporting cargo. I have found the truck and I've managed to take out the two armoured vehicles escorting by using c4 on the road and waiting for them to go over the top then shooting the driver in the transport by then all hell breaks loose.

 

How the hell do you dispose off the guys who are obviously hard core vapers? I've tried all kinds and I have quiet as my buddy but she's shooting smoke!

Oh it does, but you know for some upgrades you need a Cybernetics Specialist or a Heavy Armour Specialist? Well, some of those guys are only rated D or E, so if you haven't locked them in then BOOM they disappear when you auto-sort. Which means you then cannot get that upgrade.

 

Sure, you can probably find other ones by doing the side op again, but who the hell really wants to?

Much easier than you think, although it flummoxed me first too!

 

 

From the drop point, head West to the three way junction coming out of the airport. Take out the guards however you choose, I used a sniper rifle. On the Northern road, lay one electrical mine, and then on the South road lay one regular mine or C4. Arm yourself with a rocket launcher and make your way to the ridge overlooking that road.

 

When the convoy comes, the first tank is destroyed by the mine, the truck is knocked out by the electric, and you destroy the rear tank with the rocket launcher. This should put the truck to your left, on the North road, but crucially you'll have that bit of rock in the junction for cover...

 

Walk up to the tank keeping behind the rock. If you've got your distances right, you'll unlock the cutscene whilst still hidden. At that point you turn 180deg and run like hell! Once you get to about 80m you can safely turn around and mark the Skulls so you know where they are. Now it gets fun!

 

I then used the East road to lay a bunch of C4 in the road, all in a line to cover the entire road. You'll find the Skulls will follow you automatically, but at shuffling speed. Keep them around 40-50m from you, they won't see you. Wait until they get over the C4 then detonate: If you're lucky then you'll kill them all, if not you'll get at least three like I did, then killing one with a rifle isn't actually too bad as they only have a melee attack. Quiet will help you here, but only if she has a gun that does damage instead of ZZZ.

 

 

And all that said, it is possible (although I didn't try it) to simply coax the guards away from the truck, then run back and drive it or balloon it away They'll never know you were there!

I can't wait for Black Ops... bring on the Zombies!! Doubt I'll play any multiplayer as I can't play much these days, Coop could be fun though.

Thanks Dan. Need to research some of the items so will come back to this section another time

Yep I'm looking forward to it now as well. Picking my pre-ordered copy up after work tomorrow that my Mrs bought for my Birthday last month.

Think I might get the new cod. Always say I won't as they are pretty much the same game but I will get suckered in.

 

Anyone on PS4 add me (jimboy2). Should start a little cod group.

Just picked up Forza 6 second hand for £30. Will have to get out my driving rig again to give it a proper go.

At least with Black Ops you get different Zombie maps. The mordern/advanced warfare games are literally re-branded code, even the old hacks work on the later games.

We should get a race going

[S7nny]

I prefer the IW games over Treyarch, in all honesty. I picked up BO3 though and finished the story and have spent an hour or two playing mutliplayer now. It's not a bad game! It's a bit tricky learning the movement patterns especially with wall-running now as you can end up running around trees by mistake.

 

SonnyMarrs (PSN). Hit me up if anyone wants to have a game!

Yeah would be good. I'm KingMarz. Usually on after 10.30pm most nights.

 

I'm not that happy with Forza 6 though... i gave it a couple of hours at the weekend and i dont like the handling with my Thrustmaster TX. Under braking the cars just dont feel right and i don't have that much confidence on the steering. I've got the handling set to simulation though so maybe i need to try it on standard. What do you use?

It's not you, it's a game-breaking bug and is why I've stopped playing it. Basically, when using the wheel it turns every car into an oversteery mess, like you're running 165 width tyres on the rear! It doesn't matter if you put it on Sim or Std, it's still broken. You can try changing the diff lock, or camber or toe, or whatever you like: It doesn't matter, every car will still be shocking. Some people have had success by turning the steering lock down on the wheel itself, but it just made it too twitchy for me. Basically, you need to play with a pad, which is ridiculous.

 

 

 

However Fallout 4 is out tomorrow and scoring 9s and 10s, so I don't care.

Interesting is this a specific issue with the TX wheel as i am not experiencing that with the logitech (mind you that was designed in collaboration with team 10)
