  1. Beginning to play, Grand Theft Auto Five on my Laptop. Epic Games previously confirmed a deal where the firm will be offering free of charge, available to download from their store, GTA V. Even though I originally purchased the version on my Xbox 360, there's absolutely no damage to see how well the PC corresponds to the console model. It takes some time, however, to get on with teaching myself the controls through my keyboard, after playing for a second time today. GTA V download was 89.05GB overall, although, this took hours to download through my internet connection.

    Grand Theft Auto Five was the last video game I played, today (22/05/2020).

  2. I started playing the original story first, then I moved onto Rio and the Space version. Angry Birds has a simple concept that you should only attack using a slingshot and send birds to attack the pigs. As you progress, the levels become more difficult, and I'm fairly confident everyone would love the puzzle aspect of the video game.

    I would recommend this to anyone, it's free, what have you got to lose? 

  3. 1) Taco Bell

    2) KFC

    3) Subway

    Since being on lockdown for months now, here in England, it's made me appreciate for what I take for granted. Enjoying a takeaway or dining in is a massive privilege and I can't wait until they re-open the eat-inside option. My favourite fast food establishment has to be Taco Bell - I love their cheesy chips.

    A lot of semi automatic guns come into my mind. I think there seems to be ton load of those in COD if I remember. In case of PUBG not many though. 

    What's your favourite semi automatic gun and why? Call of Duty developers have made their graphics as realistic as possible and aimed their target audience at young adults. COD developers have replicated various situations and potential scenarios as best they can to reproduce planet earth's weaponry and former World Wars.

    I have a 360. And this week I’ve already changed my password twice because when I wanted to play Rage it said I needed a password. But each time I create a password I can’t get in my account and it says I have the wrong password.

    This is not my first problem with Microsoft. I use Mile IQ A mileage app I pay for and had a similar issue and they took weeks to let me back. 
     

    I guess I need Xbox live to play Rage and certain games? I’m not even talking about multi player, just single player. This really annoys me because I can never continue the game.

    Another issue I’m having is that my xbox360 is not even reading many games. Could it be on its last leg and does this have anything to do with not being able to sign into Xbox Live?

     

    Hi GeepyX

    Many thanks for your message. 

    If you already have tried resetting your password with your email and this issue repeats itself, it might be a device issue. You may want to check Microsoft support and FAQ (frequently asked question page). On the otherhand, it's a good idea to check whether your console is still under retailer or manufacturer guarantee, in which case, you might be able to get a replacement or your product repaired for you at no cost. 

    I might be able to help diagnose the issue, if you can screenshot or take a picture of the error that your facing. The error might include an code which if this the case, it's going to make a lot easier to solve.

    Kind regards

    Alex

  6. I love watching TheAmazingTop10 on YouTube, their videos are so engaging. My favourite theory is number three. Disappearing teddy bears are often used in Horror Movies aswell as Video games. I would struggle to see how they could implement this while keeping their PEGI Rating and their target audience the same. Perhaps, Epic Games would use less realistic graphics? Time will tell - let's see if this theory is debunked or is actually true in future seasons and chapters in Fornite. 

  7. What streaming platform do you use to live stream playing Esports and other competitive video games? Some of the most popular ones are Facebook, Twitch.TV, and YouTube. If you have to choose, which service would you choose to be your number 1 favourite and why? Do you share your content live through multiple platforms at one time? If so, how can you monitor both chats and communicate with your viewers?

    Really? No replies? No one willing to help a newby?

    I've replied to your OP Post. Please see my reply above and let me know if there is anything else you would like to ask or clarify. I'm always here to help any fellow gamer enjoy their gaming experience and time at VGR Forums.

    Hi folks,

    I'm completely new to high end gaming. I know zilch. But since the quarantines, and since there's no Formula 1 season, I've gotten into watching The Race esports racing on ESPN. And I started googling the gear I saw the competitors using. Whoo! Nah, not gonna pay $1500 just for a wheel. Or a high end PC with three nVidia cards and three monitors. Wouldn't pass the wife test. 😲

    But a modest setup is doable...so I ordered an Xbox One S Digital, a Dell 32" curved monitor, and I think I got the last Logitech G920 wheel/peddle set in North America! From Canada! And pay $100 more than retail for the privilege! 🤑 

    I'm planning to get Forza Horizon 4 and Dirt 4. I'm mainly interested in driving sims. Like what they're doing with The Race. Road racing at various real tracks. I was also into World Rally Championship and wanted to try my had at that too.

    I'm a fan of forums for learning about new things (I'm also into RC cars, and I have an electric vehicle, a Bolt EV), and I've been trying to glean some knowledge here, but I'm just too behind the times. And I haven't picked up the lingo. Haven't found an FAQ.

    What I'd like to know: I'd like to know what to expect when I get all this stuff and set it up. Like I said, I'm looking for a driving experience, but I understand there is some sort of game play involved, and I earn credits to buy more cars? How does that work? I can't just pick a car to drive? What's a Wheelspin? 

    Eventually, I'd like to be able to race against my buddy (who will eventually get a similar setup). How does that work? I read a little about Xbox's online gaming site, but I still don't get it.  I have to subscribe to the service to play? 

    My internet connection is over the air, and I'm in the single digits for speed,  although I can upgrade. Would 15mbps be sufficient? 

    Thanks in advance for any info and advice. I need it.

    Let me breakdown the questions that you have asked. This is a very detailed post so please let me know if I have missed anything, thank you. 

    A) Would you like me to make a suggestion for a video game in this niche? Most video games allow you to choose what car you'd like to have the driving simulation experience in. A wheel spin occurs when the rotation of wheels without any steady grip.

    B) Yes, you are correct. You will have to subscribe to play if your friend is using Xbox Live. You will have to purchase the Gold Membership which costs £40.00 for a years membership. Please find attached a picture which compares the "features" of your benefits between consoles. 

    C) Yes, your internet connecting is more than enough for the type of gaming which you have stated.

    For some reason I never really liked the Skylanders : Imaginators. 

     

     

    Really? I really enjoyed playing this when I was younger. What don't you like about Skylanders: Imaginators? Are there any aspects of the game you would change if you WERE lead developer? If so, why?

    I think there are server that have managed to counter this anti-hack server patches. I think on that context anti cheat often may not work. 

    Yes you are right, some owners have installed a plugin known as NoCheatPlus which prevents users from hacking, cheating or exploiting their server. Hacked clients don't work on some multiplayer servers though, but may work on others. It's also important to note that there is no anti-cheat system in place for Single Player Mode.

    Thank you for the generous offer! I have clicked on the banner and Crucible took me to the advertisement on Steam. It seems an interesting game to me - I'll look into purchasing this after I've finished watching the game trailer.

    You need people for the real life board games and also for online versions mostly being bots. I find it harder to get stuck on the board games. 

    What's wrong with playing against artificial intelligence (robots)? You can choose your own difficulty whether that's easy or hardcore - we can still stimulate our minds by doing this. Have you got a favourite board-game to play?

    I think these days sticking to one genre forever is also boring. Trying out different things definitely helps out as well. 

    There's no harm in doing so. If you never try, you'll never know. It doesn't cost anything to try different genres, so what have you got to lose exactly? Have you got a favourite or do you generally do the same as me when playing computer games?

    That happens with me espeically in games like COD and the PUBG. Most of those falls are harder to survive. It's kind of irritating that way. 

    I couldn't agree more. When you have found Legendary or Rare Weapondry in Battle Royale on Fortnite and then you die, this can be very annoying. This doesn't happen often to me or any other game but when it does, it's depressing.

  16. Minecraft ends the game if you resort to this, whether it's a hacked client or using cheat commands. Without a challenge, objective or some form of difficulty in any video game you play, there is no fun and you'll soon become bored of playing. You may gain temporary pleasure by "cheating" but it won't be long term.

  17. Probably Skylanders on the Nintendo Wii. Skylanders originally costing me £50.00 and each of the figures that I purchased cost me £5.00 each. I spent more on the Toys than I did on the video game itself. Physical Skylander Characters are required to unlock certain aspects of the game such as new levels and superhero powers. 

  18. Hi there, @invirtualities, I would love to take your survey although I can't as your questionnaire is closed. If you need any further survey participants for research purposes, please re-open the study and I'll be more than happy to share my opinions 🙂 I look forward to hearing from you. 

  19. Reading through this discussion, there are definitely some diverse gamers here which is fantastic to see. This is a difficult question to answer because all of my most favoured games are in a wide variety of genres. I couldn't pick one. FPS, Shooters and Battle Royale would be my Top three if I had to choose a selection. 

  20. In Fortnite, one of the most funniest and dumbest ways I can remember dieing was by fall damaged. After building some height, I decided to jump - although I forgot they removed Gliders in their most recent chapter update. Believe it or not, I was in the Top 10 aswell...

  21. Words for Friends is an excellent puzzle gaming which I would recommend. This puzzle is very much similar to a classic game of Scrabble.  It's fun to play with friends, family and colleagues and the best part? You can play with anyone, anywhere in the world. Let me know what you think of WWF!
