Racing defaults to "catch up" meaning any following car/bike is slightly faster, being out in front on long straight races is rarely an advantage to taking the win. But even on shorter twister circuits keep an eye on what's going on behind you (radar and rear view) . Also suss out how the opposition play (especially corner) and take advantage of any break you're given, ie. If you're in third and know one of the drivers in front is a dirty bustard you're almost guaranteed to get by them when he tries to take out the other driver so wait patiently.

I was knackered last night and couldn't play for shit. (early starts this week)

might be on tonight after night ride, post ride beer will dictate. How well/badly I play.

Totally gutted. My PS3 is toast.

I have tried everything online and the file system keeps corrupting. So I phoned up PS Support today and they said it's unrecoverable 🙁

Is the PS4 back compatible? Do I save for that or buy a cheap PS3?

Both.
And upgrade to PS+ so your save data is stored online instead of on the hardware. It's well worth the 4quid a month for the free titles anyway.

I finished the game last night. Last few missions seemed a bit too easy.

Well it seems like I will be joining in with this - the 13yr old daughter wants it for Christmas 😯

Initially we said no - she still doesn't think she's getting it. Considering all her mates have it and she's already played it, then not much point trying to shield her from it.

Yes there is - by buying it for her you are condoning the content. The language is very fruity indeed and im my opinion (which is not humble)13 is too young.

Its pretty harsh for a 13 year old, not sure if I would want to condone my kid playing it; as its pretty brutal in places and has a lot of anal sex references.

Hell yes. WAY too young. We're not talking about a bit of guns and violence, the characters are seriously depraved in places.

Drac, which COD you playing?

Mainly Black Ops II. I've got Ghosts but not sure I like the multiplayer.

I've not been on much due to work and family, I'll not be on this weekend as the weekend is Xfactor then Jungle so by the time that crap is done I'll be thinking about going to kip.

Quite an interesting couple of hours today. After a lot of messing about (I don't spend very much time playing so I'm still only level 16), I nicked a helicoptor from Trevors field and then flew, completely unchallenged, into the military base, flew off in an F16 and then spent a while shooting things with missiles in the city.

It's a beautiful thing to fly but targeting other players is impossible. For a start it only wanted to target police. Any ideas how to get it to aim at players?

You can't in free play but for players use the guns it destroys them almost instantly.

Finally managed to steal a jet. Got shot down immediately.

Once I'd stolen the F16 (laser), I was invincible.

You know, until I crashed due to my crap flying.

They scrambled loads of jets rather quickly, somehow. Sidewindered my arse.

It's a bit odd. When I flew in I flew all over the base for a while, it all went red and I could see the red dots. They scrambled at least two interceptors. I flew back over the base, saw the plane sitting on the ground and 'landed' the helicopter (i.e., just held the left trigger).

Legged it to the plane, jumped in, took off. Not one shot fired. A police helicopter came at me (bro) but I had missiles, see.

I will be trying again, even though it takes ages to walk back from where you respawn and go fetch another chopper.

OK, finished the singleplayer story mode over the weekend.
Still plenty of side missions to clean up like ramps and things but yes, finished.

Absolutely awesome. Best game I have ever played. Better than Red dead, Elder Scrolls and I think, even better than Borderlands 2. And there's still multiplayer to mess with (although I quite like the linear aspect of singleplayer).

If you're looking for a present for an adult who likes games and for some bizarre and inextricable reason they don't have this yet, get it for them.

What next?

The multiplayer is so massive I've no plans to move onto a new game. The new game modes they're introducing are excellent and the ability to create your own deathmatches and races is superb.

I tried a capture the flag the other night - 4 people joined in and it ended up as me vs 3.

I had the most kills but there was always one of them near the flag so I didn't get one. Would be good with headsets and a few clan people to play with.

Someone else has just given me even more money out of nowhere. I've got about $250mil now.

I've spent a bit but am fully expecting it to be taken off me at some point. Got a lovely apartment with a 10 car garage and a collection of nice cars.

Hopefully, as I didn't request it or agree to it, I've not really done anything wrong.

I hate this game,

My lad got this about 2 weeks ago and has turned from a typical unresponsive teenager into a total zombie who refuses to leave his room. He runs down stairs raids the cupboard for food then disappears back to his pit and continues to shout at random people through the silly headset he wears.... 2 nights ago I got woken up at 2.30am with him shouting down the mic at his mate online. Game got removed.... With a little tussle!

What's brilliant is that Michael's son is that person.

Apart from the actual teabagging at the end.

Someone called icongratulateyou gave me $21 million today.
There were bounties of $20 million being put on people regularly too.

Money is no longer an issue. I was staying about even anyway. Bought a fast car, already had a nice apartment.

That's a complete lie.

If you have a huge bounty on your head just enjoy the action. If you're aware of it then once you die, go hunting for the perp. See if you can get him before he banks it.

Or just hide in you room for 24 hour game time which is about 24 minutes then the bounty is yours.

Nice. I have some game time booked in this evening, from about 8 or so. Need some mayhem. Has anyone tried a Mt Chiliad megavalanche yet?
