Derivative or not, the games he's cited are still being critically acclaimed. It doesn't mean they're not good. One could say the praise given to The Last of Us is praise for a derivative game. How many non-derivative games are there these days? It's such a bullshit point.

One Piece...

Once you've done the campaign @dazzybee it's a simple case of replaying everything over and over again. With a daily mission that's a higher difficulty of missions you've already done as well as a weekly one which again is of à higher difficulty of ones youll have already done. Then you unlock the Raid which is where the game is most enjoyable... but again, that's just one mission. On paper it's shite, but there's something about it that keeps me playing. The banter with the guys, the want to level up my gear etc. It's just like in MH, when you're just hunting the same monsters over and over just to get that gear you want.

If I was to compare it to a game of prior gens it would be Monster Hunter, but I would say the "grind" on this isn't as fun as it is on MH. MH is definitely more fun and the levels at which you need to work together are similar. The Raid on this is fantastic though, as the Nightfalls would be if it wasn't for them being missions you've already done tens of times over. If you don't like it from the get-go though I can't imagine you'll like it at all @dazzybee

Yeah I'm game

It's Nintendo that have turned us.

I've got to say, good job @Blade, you've done well organising and fitting people in the two groups. Especially those who weren't too sure what the situation was in regards to availability of places in Raids etc. Also, like you've said, those that haven't done any Raiding should have priority in group 3 so us that have will drop out to accomodate. Kudos mate!

@drahkon put your name in for Group 3 to @Blade

Talking about #Smashingnicelookingbirds... I'm not. Haha! Getting dates is easy, I can get loads, but my conversion rate is awful. I'm like Torres at Chelsea, I'll be put right through but fluff my chances somehow! #Backofthenet :p Got a date Saturday though and chatting to another girl on POF who is quite bloody tasty! Maybe one of these will go well, although given my amazing track record with crazies... Update: I've called today's date off, I'm just not feeling it. I'm getting along with the other girl much better.

Because for me Smash isn't about being the best I can be at it, it's about having fun... absolutely mental, crazy fun! For me that's onły multiplied by being able to chat to my mates... it's essential for me!

I'm up for doing the Raid more than once a week after getting through bounties. The Raid is the most fun part of the game! Who else would be up for it?

I'd be interested in an N-E tournament if the game had voice chat during battles. Otherwise I'm just not interested. Yep, I went there (again).

1 hour and done, awesome guys!

Is 20:30 ok? If it's too late a time I can be on from 18:00 onwards but @Blade won't be home from work until later.

Could you imagine if there was voice chat too..? Their console would probably explode!

Had a right laugh on this tonight with @MilaGi, looking for jumps on the moon for the Tumbler... and he found the most epic of jumps to trick off!

Cheers for letting us know @Agent Gibbs! @Blade @MilaGi @Eddage @Map, are you all ok for it tomorrow night before the reset, 20:00-20:30-ish..?

Yeah I got it on the PS4. I'd imagine I'd still find the WiiU version of this more fun than The Last of Us.

It feels weird having no Naruto to read.

I've a Warlock at 9, I'm thinking of ranking up the fucker so I can start doing the daily/weekly/raid/bounties twice.

Yeah but to be fair... #smashingnicelookingbirds

Yeah I'm game for it.

I remember when I was in year 11 at school and saw a lad (bless him he looked like the atypical nerd) in year 7 or 8 I guessed, being bullied by a group of lads. Verbally at first but then they set upon him, pushed him over and started kicking him. I ran over, picked up and threw a couple of them a good distance and the other two stopped, I picked the lad up who was getting kicked and shouted at the bullies "you fucking touch my cousin again I'll rip your heads off!". The kid wasn't my cousin, just felt he could do with them off his back. The other lads ran off and the kid thanked me, I said no probelm and carried on playing football with my mates. Bullies just need showing up.

Being half Iranian (even if I don't look it) I used to get into fights when I was younger through racism. I say get into fights as opposed to get bullied because I don't feel I was bullied, I didn't feel a victim of bullying. When I was young my Dad told me and my brother what we'd probably go through and have to face and so he prepped us for it, taught us how to fight and took us to martial arts (I remember going to Judo first on my 7th birthday). He'd always told us to always talk your way out of a fight first but just in case, we knew how to fight. However, he did say that if people try to bully that we should beat them up and beat them up good, that'd put a stop to them... lo and behold it did. It started in primary school. My brother is 2 years older and after he left a few lads in the year above me tried their hand at bullying me. I remember a lad starting with the racism and then he and his friend started acting tough and pushing me. I did my best to talk my way out if it but this didn't deter them and so we fought. After giving them a good thrashing (one was completely KO'd and went to hospital) I was taken to the headmaster's office and my Dad was called into school. I love when my Dad tells this story, always puts a smile on my face as the teachers really wanted me in trouble for what I'd done. So my Dad is sat in the headmaster's office and at first just listens to everything he has to say. My Dad then asks why the fight started and the headmaster tells him. So my Dad's response was this; "I'm sorry Mr Bennett, then you'll have to blame me and not fault my son. I have told him to do this if anyone tries bullying him. He could tell the teachers but what would you do? You could maybe put a stop to it inside of school, but what happens after? What happens at weekends? They'd carry on, even worse than before because there'd be no teachers to tell them off, but what I can guarantee you now is that these two lads will never try bullying my son again and maybe others too." The headmaster asked my Dad if he'd tell me to beat then up outside of school and my dad said he'd not, that if it was dealt with there and then it would nip it in the bud and not have to carry on through the day until after school. The headmaster had nothing else to say. The attempts at bullying stopped and so he had no complaints thereafter. In secondary school it took one early fight in year 7 to stop it for a good few years, until my brother left the school again and the year above turned their attention to me... that again was quickly stopped. In year 7 the supposed hardest lad in the year tried his hand at being racist with me. A dislocated jaw later and nobody said anything derogatory for a good while. Again after my brother left the supposed hardest lad in the year above gave it a shot, again I beat him down and nothing carried on. So in school it wasn't really bad. It was outside of school where it used to kick off often, with the lads in the area that I grew up in. That was because of the numbers of them, plenty would try their hand but would get beaten up. My brother and I used to fight a hell of a lot growing up, but once all were beaten they stopped. Bullies just need a good hiding, it soon puts an end to it.

I'm free whenever. @lostmario, I'm happy doing it more than once so if you need anyone to do stuff with give me a shout too!
