WHAT PLAY YOU!? Version 2.0

[The King Of Swing]

I actually really enjoyed the reboot last gen. Shame it didn't seem to do very well.

[Onyx2]

Yeah I really enjoyed it. Tough as nails, no bad thing. It'll come back again.

 

In other news, what do we think about the new Metal Gear Survive game?

Or Solident Evil, as it should be called? It reeks of an existing game getting rebadged while Kojima isn't looking.

[Merzbow]

The MGS3 pachinko looks more appealing, these survival games are ten a penny and the majority aren't at all good.

 

Some good news if you're a Skyrim fan, a huge overhaul called Enderal has been released on PC. It's a completely new world and story done by some awesome German guys who did the same for Oblivion a few years back.

Started playing WWE game as it was free on Gold. It's amazing how these games haven't got any better in the many years since I last played them. Anyway, it's still pretty fun for the novelty...

Out of interest, what are Purple Aki's specials/finishers? Something suitably gropey, I hope.

Haven't found something suitably sexy for the Pop or Slash yet. Have been working through the move set very slowly because it's enormous and takes forever. So I'm editing the character a bit, playing a few matches, coming back to it... Seems the best way to break it up.

 

Any suggestions welcome!

[CleetusVanDamme]

Viscagra would be perfect for Purple Aki, if it's still there. I spent an unhealthy amount of time using it in the older games, seeing if I could hump people through tables or the roof of the Cell. Never worked.

[Bus Surfer]

Does the move list included a Road Dog Pump Handle Slam with the bumming bit as a tease?

 

That's your winner right there.

I found out that if you create a character in My Career mode, you can't export them. But if you create one in the proper CAW section, you can import them into Career mode. So I've had to start from scratch and can't be arsed with creating the same thing again. So I've created Fat Mac from Always Sunny instead. He'll have a lot of the same sloppy fat man offense though!

I have picked up Destiny again after I finally got over Golgoroth crushing me in the Kings Fall raid last November. The bug has bitten me again, so just in case there are other guardians out there here is a quick run down of the new DLC, "The Rise of Iron", released 20th September

 

 

 

Rise of Iron

 

 

• Rise of Iron will release on Tuesday, September 20th for Xbox One and PS4 only.

 

 

New Social Space on Earth called 'Felwinter Peak'

• Players must clear Fallen out of it to reclaim it.
• There will be new vendors, secrets, and more!
• Saladin will sell 'Iron Engrams' which can decrypt into old Iron Banner gear pieces.
• Also, Iron Banner will now be hosted from this social space
• A special area will open up when Iron Banner is active.

 

 

• Iron Banner will no longer be hosted at the Tower. What this means for the Traveler's Walk is unknown. It is labeled for 'Events' so we may see it re-open with the return of various events such as SRL or Festival of the Lost.

 

 

New Patrol Zone on Earth called the 'Plaguelands'

• From what we've seen in one of the Live Streams, the patrol appears to be Level 42 but that could change as they were playing in a development environment.
• It consists of a new area beyond the wall as well as most of the original Cosmodrome.
• New 'Archon's Forge' arena! Found out in the patrol zone (Think Court of Oryx but bigger and longer. If you die, you're out unless revived!)
• Winter is here! There is more snow in the new patrol.
• The current Level 4 Cosmodrome patrol on Earth will remain untouched to give new players the original Destiny experience.
• Sparrows can be used in the Plaguelands!
• 'Dormant SIVA Clusters' are scattered around the Plaguelands which must be collected (Similar to Calcified Fragments from The Taken King). What exactly they are used for is currently unknown. They do unlock new Grimoire cards though.

 

 

• New Title Screen and music (This is actually the music from the PS4 Dynamic theme but it is probably the title screen music, or at least part of it).

 

 

5 new story missions revolving around the Iron Lords and fighting SIVA.

• Many new quest lines to do both during and after the story has been completed.
• Most new exotics come from quests (Including Gjallarhorn)
• Daily Heroic Story now has a recommended Light Level of 350 (Level 42 enemies).

 

 

1 Brand New Strike in the Plaguelands called 'The Wretched Eye' (IGN Gameplay Video of new Strike)

• 2 Re-done Strikes: Summoning Pits (Phogoth - Moon) and The Devils' Lair (Sepiks Prime - Earth)
• Strike bosses can now drop 'Skeleton Keys' which you can hold in a stack up to 5.
• Skeleton Keys can be used on a chest that will appear after a Strike Boss is dead.
• The chest contains a guaranteed Strike-specific loot drop.
• This should cause players not to have to grind strikes as much to get specific loot drops.
• Nightfall Strike now has a recommended Light Level of 360 (Level 42 enemies).
• Weekly Heroic Strikes now have a recommended Light Level of 350 (Level 42 enemies).

 

 

New Raid in the Plaguelands called 'Wrath of the Machine'.

• It will come out that Friday, September 23rd.
• The new maximum Light Level is 385 with normal mode
• When Hard Mode comes out at a later date, it will be raised to 400.

 

 

• New 'Iron Lord' themed artifacts have game changing abilities.
• New Armor Sets and Weapons for Vendors, Iron Banner, Factions, etc.
• All Year 2 Legendary and Exotic items can be infused to the new Light Level cap
• You now have a choice when picking up Faction Packages. You can choose between Weapons or Armor!
• There is also a third package option for Chroma compatible Armor!

 

 

Sterling Treasure boxes are being replaced by Radiant Treasure boxes.

• (In case you've been out of the loop since before the April Update) Sterling Treasure boxes are micro-transaction boxes that contain special legendary armor sets and other various goodies. The armor sets drop at 3 Defense and must be infused up to a higher light level to be viable. 3 can be obtained for free each week per account just by playing the game.

• Radiant Treasure boxes will likely contain all new armor sets as well as other goodies such as sparrows and ships.

 

 

Private Crucible Matches are now a thing!

• You can choose gametype, map, score limit, time limit, and whether or not light level matters!
• Also, a new gametype: Supremacy (Think Kill Confirmed from CoD)

 

 

Exotic Weapons and Armor and even some Legendaries can have new 'Ornaments' applied to them that change the way they look.

• Most aren't terribly drastic though. Think of them more like weapon skins/camos in other shooters.
• Every (Legendary) class item ever is returning as Infusable (Except old Raid class items).
• Class items now change color with shader.
• Thorn and Gjallarhorn are both confirmed to be returning with Rise of Iron.
• No mention of Icebreaker or Pocket Infinity.
• Year 1 Raid Exotics (Vex Mythoclast and Necrochasm) will not be returning with Rise of Iron.

 

 

• Festival of the Lost is returning in October
• SRL (Sparrow Racing) is returning in December

 

 

Miscellaneous

• Level cap staying at Level 40.
• Light Level cap raising to 400.
• The Pre-Order Bonus 'Iron Gjallarhorn' is obtained from the Postmaster as an entirely separate weapon from the traditional Gjallarhorn once the quest to obtain Gjallarhorn is completed.
• The Pre-Order bonus 'Iron Gjallarwing Sparrow' should be available from the get-go. Most likely found at the Postmaster.
• The normal 'Gjallarwing Sparrow' can be bought from Eververse for Silver.
• There are new emotes coming with Rise of Iron.
• Vault Space will remain the same with the release of Rise of Iron but Bungie has hinted to an increase coming sometime after release.
• Year 1 Raids are not being brought up to current Light Levels and Year 1 gear will still be capped at 170 Attack/Defense.
• Everyone who purchases 'Destiny - The Collection' receives a Level 40 Character boost. It is unknown if those just purchasing Rise of Iron will receive a character boost or not.
• Can now sort Friends list
• New 'Clan Roster'

 

 

PS4 Taken King Exclusives are remaining exclusive until at least Fall 2017

I'm just installing Elder Scrolls Online.

 

Anyone here play this? Any tips for getting started / things you wished you'd known about from the beginning?

[Thunderplex]

Learn the race traits regarding your character class. Some races are better with magic. Not played for about 6 months, but it's a cracking game.

I got Farming Simulator 15. Wanna make something of it?
