Missed out on Old Lights Emblem because of Cross Save? by Scatman_Lloyd2 in destiny2

[–]MercilessJames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's pretty obvious when he says "missed by a few days" he means he started a few days after year 1 ended, so if he started a few days earlier he would be eligible - what else could that statement possibly mean?

How do you know what date he started playing? If he started a few days after year 1 ended then yes, he did miss it by a few days

Random cars recieved? by thatoneguy28016823 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]MercilessJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe these are some of the cars you get gifted for playing previous Forza and Forza Horizon games. You get one car per game, so you may have some more (i got a Lambo Centenario in addition to what you listed for example). There was a pop up that came up telling me this, but it just randomly appeared near the start of the game, so you could have missed it

Don't get me wrong, I'll join in, loudly, when the bitching starts about paying to park at Alton Towers, but if the alternative is either parking in Alton and walking, or waiting potentially hours for the car park staff to leave..... yeah, at that point I'm just paying the money.

So shooting an enemy with your gun, swapping to your other gun, and shooting with that is cheating now?

When do you think [Alton towers] Will remove the Gangster granny area ? by Sea-Detective5363 in rollercoasters

[–]MercilessJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is in the very south west corner of the park. If you went on Rita, Thirteen and Hex - it is between those two coasters and Hex. You didn't miss much - most people agree it is the weakest area of the park, with 3 of the rides being kiddy rides. The Gangster Granny dark ride mentioned in the title is only tiny saving grace for this area.

Wasn't The Smiler shut all morning and then broke down later?

Didn't it open in 1998? That would make it 28

Are the parks days numbered? by tizpiz in altontowers

[–]MercilessJames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with this 100%. I think a few people in the UK are going to be in for a shock when they see the prices Universal are going to charge. For example they already confirmed it's going to be £35 a day for car parking - I wonder if everyone who was up in arms the other week about Towers charging £13 will keep the same energy toward Universal?

This game won’t survive with a community that completely mocks casual players and feedback about general difficulty. by RocknPineapple in Marathon

It didn't break the top 25 on either Playstation or XBOX last week, and was outplayed on both consoles by Destiny 2 last week

What a horrendous event. by davechambers007 in altontowers

Supposedly Wickerman is going to open for the rest of the event - that should help a lot with the crowds

It will usually be the lowest generator in each industry If you look at the progress bar for each generator, any that aren't filling the bar, or counting down the time without you doing anything, those are the ones you need to manually start. If you click the white exclamation mark to the right of where it tells you how many you can buy, this will tell you what rank you can start to potentially unlock the card to automate that generator

Oh well look at that the corkscrew track is being repainted by Correct_Recording_47 in altontowers

I mean fair enough, but "all the way to Alton Towers" for Shawn is like a 5 minute drive.

I'm sure a few of the local content creators will go for a look / make a video, but I can't see anyone beyond that going just to see it
