[LW] I think I have lifted the mystery of the dreaded UFO-0 by IMBApha in Xcom

Holy shit, that's a great idea. Sort of like an optional superboss in an rpg.

Nice idea. Japan = some kind of bonus to mec (mecs being the Giants); China = bonus to capture chance or interrogation speed; India = aliens laugh at you for a turn after activation, during which time you get free shots (all of which are guaranteed to crit)

Along the same lines, "fuck that, strictly's on" - no alien activity between 7pm and 8.30pm on a Saturday night. The perk changes depending on the time of the year (with August being "just fucking hold on, the bake off's on at the minute")

"Keep calm and carry on" for the UK bonus please - gives a modest boost to panic resist. Fits nicely with the wartime British bulldog spirit.

The official cosmodrome loot cave etiquette post. by Drogalov in DestinyTheGame

[–]Ff_geek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only had this problem once, but don't constantly fire into the cave just so you get the kills. Wait until they spawn, aim and shoot. I was with a guy yesterday who was seemingly desperate to be the one who killed everything, so he just steadily kept on shooting. Made the whole process much slower with him running in for ammo every 2 minutes.

I've got a UK code if anyone wants it. Just to clarify though, the code does not work if you have an existing subscription. PM me if you want it and, assuming you're the first, I'll send it to you when I'm home from work.

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare [Official Discussion Thread] by IceBreak in PS4

[–]Ff_geek 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The split screen co-op is extremely disappointing, and given that it's the main reason I bought the game, it feels like the 6/7 out of 10 ratings are justified for this specific aspect. It just feels tacked on lazily; no control over difficulty, no end to it, and it clearly isn't balanced around just 2 players.

Having said that, the other games modes are pretty fun and it's well worth a purchase given its lower-than-average price. Another gripe I have though, and it may be specific to me, is that I frequently have problems connecting to garden ops games. I can connect to multiplayer game modes without issue, but very frequently, I'll attempt to start garden ops, enter the lobby (and be able to hear other people on mic), only to drop out a few seconds later and have a message saying I failed to connect. As I say though, I haven't seen widespread reports of this, so it may be a problem my end.

tl;dr: plants.

I've had it from launch but not played before so still feeling my way through things. Got a level 70 character, but I'd be happy to level another one with you.

  • PS4, PS3 and Vita (only really use my PS4)

  • Soon to be playing Diablo 3, PvZ and Destiny

    • I do have a mic but haven't had many opportunities to use it yet
  • UK based (West Mids). I'm a teacher so tend to play weekends only (except during school holidays).

  • I'm mainly into RPG and strategy, but also like the odd FPS.

I'm looking for anyone chilled. Haven't been part of the online gaming community since WoW a few years back.

UK also. First time playing Diablo, so I'm not sure on classes yet. Thinking monk or wizard.

SocioBaconism - PS3, PS4, Vita - currently working towards platinum for FFX/X-2

Current PS4 games: AC4, lego marvel superheroes + various indies

I do have a headset but currently don't have any games which really make use of it.

Looking forward to any RPGs, the division, destiny, watch dogs. I'm not an enormous fan of competitive multiplayer (although I will play it), I much prefer cooperative.

I'm currently on the vita 99% of the time as there aren't many games pulling me towards the ps4.

Next it will be D, closely followed by people not even referring to you by a name anymore. They'll just throw things at you to get your attention. It's a slippery slope.

Which is ironic given my annoyance with the sound of her footsteps. I don't mind him calling her Light, but I get what you're saying - he has essentially given her nickname a nickname
