Think I'm probably the only one excited for the release of the new formula one game, seems like they've listened to the game fans and actually changed it up a bit, getting rid of the 'single season career mode' and actually expanding it to a 10 year season. Also now allowing yourself to create your driver and work your way through teams.

Good, I might actually get this years one then.

Ah so I wasn't the only one that bought it To be fair the first expansion that came out recently isn't that bad, although I had hoped for a bit more variety in the missions. I only started playing it because I already had the season pass, but it isn't actually as terrible as most of the rest of the game. It kind of makes up for making the dark zone a piece of shit because you can get all the new gear sets and weapons quite easily, plus there is no PvP so you can do all the missions solo if you want.


Was that the Underground one? I heard mixed reviews on that, it's still not tempting me back. Most of the friends I played with stopped playing so going back in on my own picking up where I left off isn't very appetising. The last time I went in DZ was depressing, it was really piss poor haha.

I returned for the Underground DLC for like a week and then was bored again. Makes it a lot easier for the casual player to increase in level though which is good

Yeah I'm on Xbox One. I didn't play 2014 or 2015 but it does look much better than those.

I've got 2015, it is good graphics and gameplay wise, they just messed up the career that'd all!

Saw a quote from someone to do with the game that said that ''full access'' thing is a mistake and it only gives basic info to them as per other apps. My gmail is my spam email account anyway. Make another gmail account, you won't regret it!

The company that made the game are connected to Google, so they have all you're information anyway if you own a phone that runs Android OS.

Got back into playing Fallout 4 about a month ago, currently at level 31 and the Overseer's Guardian is seriously overpowered when you have the rifleman perk, I kill pretty much everything I come across with 1-2 shots,

pokemon go uses the google maps maps xD
so if you download them, the app doesnt require data/internet to download them again and again. try it

But do you not still need the Internet to run and pick up GPS signal? Is there a certain one of the app store to download to directly correspond with the game?

I'm level 8 at the moment and my team is probably as bland as it could possibly be, Pigeot, Fearow, three Raticates and a Hypno, with CPs from 221 to 345. The most interesting one I have so far is a 189CP Beedrill

You still need it but requires less data and it's visually faster

Just walk away repeatedly then and get a Pikachu!

Went for a walk around our local lake at lunch with some work colleagues and leeched 3 lures

Still a lowly level 7, but caught a Dratini (I understand that's an uncommon one?)

I went for a walk with my dog this morning and managed to catch a starter then, found a Drowzee straight after too.

I can't figure out this whole CP and arch and evolution thing, I know what they are all by themselves but people seem to disagree about aspects of it. Some say evolve before powering up, others say power up fully then evolve?!

Not that it matters as it's too damned hot here in Ipswich. I'm not a fan of the sun once it heats up the area above 24 degrees!

Some of the Pokemon Go stories i've been reading are hilarious, mainly about egg hatching. One guy thought running 10km on a treadmill would help while another used the microwave to try and speed up the hatching

Thankfully though, those stupid people haven't hurt anyone (except maybe themselves). Keep reading about stupid people playing it whilst driving! Think the latest one I read was someone playing whilst driving and crashing into a police car in Baltimore *double facepalm*

I've been evolving first and then powering up, but like you I'm not sure if thats the best way. I'm level 12 now, best is a 612CP Golbat I caught yesterday, followed by a 460CP Pidgeot and then a 450CP Hitmonchan. Held a gym for 3 days straight now with Hitmonchan, but I think its because its a quiet village gym with hardly any signal...

Yeah living in a city is a bit of a pain, every bloody gym has like multiple over 1000cp people defending it, which with me being only level 6 at the moment means im probably not gonna hold a gym for a very long time, if ever
