Anyone fancy running the nightfall tonight at 9PM?

Ain't not the raid groups full...was a happy coincidence with the king of drifting joining us. What's a fucker to do? Refuse the king drifter? Straighten yo back and reentet the ring. Ain't no guy gonna refuse you at yo L29 prowess. Prove yo' worth guardian. Settle YO BAWZZ in the ring. etc.

Yes. Don't be fooled by thinking that official necessarily means better!

I remember having this conversation before about how this was overpriced. You can pick these adapters up for sub £5.

Why is the boss standing still for most of while Time's Vengeance is active? Normally he would turn around and kill you.

So this is pretty cool I don't own this though, but you can buy it for a fair sum.

I am thinking we wait for L32 before doing hard. :p Guns right now feel like they do next to nothing against Oracles/Supplicants. Early December, right?

It would be more user friendly to include a 500GB hard drive like the other consoles - that way nobody has to faff around with anything. You can argue it's more profitable for them, but not more user friendly.

That's because PS3 is on the way out with most top charting games for PS systems being on PS4 now, while PS4 is too new to start giving games away on it yet. Everyone knew it would happen, but that doesn't mean the stuff on it isn't great. Pretty damn awesome if you have a Vita, in my opinion. Also games like Strider and Resogun are pretty sweet giveaways, too.

Anyone up for nightfall and/or weekly heroic shenanigans tonight? 8:30PM?

Extra strike, not raid, unfortunately. I am happy with the content actually. Mostly because I get the next 2 expansions at no extra cost and I got a killer deal on the limited edition. But also because I know this will probably be at least 30+ hours of extra content for me (probably more).

@Daft not sure about tonight, Sunday would be preferable for me for a hard raid. Would prefer to scoop up Nightfall and Weekly Heroics during the week in anticipation of Xur (plus they're easier). To be honest, I would be more up for one of us grabbing an Atheon final boss checkpoint from someone on Destiny Tracker and inviting everyone else rather than suffering through the garbage that is the gatekeeper again. Mythoclast/helmet only drops from the end boss anyway. :p

I think Demon's Souls had it down perfectly. For the first game in the series it had never been heard of and wasn't initially even released over here. Word of mouth and praise got it an EU release, but only on PS3. Dark Souls was its sequel and that went to every format bar Wii, and was universally renowned and reached many people for the first time. Dark Souls 2 basically carried on from Dark Souls, more of the same, but it hadn't outstayed its welcome yet. And now they go to Bloodborne before the format got stale (unless they plan to do another DS at some point, but doesn't seem too likely I guess). Assassin's Creed has a story element that people want to follow, but at the same time they went with ships with AC4 and have now really ramped up the AI and scope of the world by the looks of things for Unity. To me, it looks like a very welcome boost which makes it seem a lot more fresh (fresher than, say, the Pikmin 2 to 3 transition or any NSMB titles).

To be honest Microsoft have been getting these sorts of deals out because they know their console is faring worse than the competition and they need to sell units. For me, the ability to play with people online is more important than saving a few quid. Like you noticed, the PS4 is far more widely adopted on here, with only a few people having X1s, so you're going to find matches a heck of a lot easier. As far as I know there is next to no Destiny raid organising going on here for X1 users yet just this week we have run two full separate sets of raids (12 forumers total) on PS4. As for the PSN downtime, it's not so much absolute downtime (although there has been some), rather there is a delay with sending and receiving messages and invites. It's annoying but I'd still rather have the system that people are actually playing on. I can't think what the cause of this is other than far more people adopted/are now using PS4 than they anticipated. Exclusive wise as well, we have no idea what the future holds but PlayStation has historically had great Japanese dev support, so if you're into your RPGs then this will be another plus point. And most of your games will also run better on the system compared to X1.

Maybe you can find it on eBay or somewhere else? Just trying to think of other places but nothing comes to mind. Would love that PS4 though...

Let's all get to L32 and go back to Vault of Glass normal mode. Dat no death trophy. Anyone fancy nightfall tonight @ 8:30PM?

I definitely felt the same when it came to gamecube...less so when it came to Wii, now even less so on Wii U. I find it really quite hard to get excited over Smash these days, given it's the fourth time we've seen near enough the same kind of game in 15 years. I'd be super bored with Assassin's Creed as well if it carried on in the same way as AC2. Going with the ship and exploration in AC4 was a great change.

Different strokes, I guess. For me I could very easily live without the new Mario Kart, Smash and Pikmin, on account of them being highly derivative. More so than most other new generation titles on other consoles (AC Unity looks like a rather big jump, Dark Souls has now moved onto Bloodborne, Destiny was likely the first true console shooter MMO). That's just the beginning, too. About the biggest Nintendo jump so far looks like it's taking place with Zelda and its open world.

Is that the Dragon Quest PS4?

It's not just that small selection though, it'll be the vast majority of quality games you can think of that are coming out that aren't made by Nintendo. There are always brilliant new titles every generation released from someone...what are the chances they'll be coming from one company versus almost every other games company there is? It's inevitable that having access to the overwhelming majority of developers vs one company's portfolio is going to give you the diversity, quality and selection in the long run.

Had to reset my PS4 as it did that glitch where it said I didn't have PS Plus. Coming back on, everyone ready?

Just got an error trying to log on. Will try again. Tonight isn't out @Shorty, keep trying! I want to do it tonight. :p Still says server down for me, maybe login is being overloaded right now. @Daft says downloading update in Destiny. You guys done this?

I find the best way to be comfortable is to simply not imagine ludicrous things like that in the first place. That's fine, but saying that people who cuss at games have an anger management problem is just wack. Surely you must realise that? :p

You really think Nintendo only fans have a better deal with the games from just one overarching company they'll be getting from now on relative to pretty much all the other games, visions and ideas that come from everyone else? Come on man, Nintendo just aren't that good.

lol, the hell he is. Don't encourage him! First, he said that the 'Nintendo difference' is that their games don't cause you to cuss when in fact they do (at least for many). At the very least you could argue that getting hit by blue shells is just as annoying as game mechanics in other games, which is goes against what he said. That last line - "that's the Nintendo difference" sounded like something lifted from a Nintendo promotional speech. Did nobody else wince a little like me when they read that? Nasty stuff. Second, I also think that a small amount of cussing at a reasonable volume isn't indicative of an anger management problem. Something like the blue shell is designed to severely disrupt in such a random way for maximum annoyance, so it's pretty understandable. To me, anger management issues would be breaking things in rage, or screaming the house down over it. Basically to the point that you are affecting those around you or your own things/wellbeing. Not everyone who expresses anger automatically has an anger management problem!
