[Nicky91]

had my first ever free practice at F1 2021 game

Bahrain GP


my team name Jordan-Emirates, my car looks fab, of course in Yellow as they always had been, and that name has a great ring to it

my driver name, i use a former driver name Alexander Wurz (Austria) and my team mate is Christian Lundgaard (Denmark)


1st free practice session

Lundgaard placed 11th, and i myself was last place, but it was a first time ever me doing F1 on PS so at least not bad i managed to get a time in and didn't crash, the joystick steering is decent but i gotta learn when to be slower when into turns, since i notice i went off track a few times too many because i was still too fast

It’s not just about speed, you need to brake before you hit the corner, keep a STEADY speed through the turn, then accelerate away. If you’re braking OR accelerating as you turn you’ll be likely to understeer and leave the track when you exit the corner. This applies in all driving aims (and in real life) so worth remembering . Though IRL you really shouldn’t be cornering at racing speeds very often (or ever) .

something i've done many times now


my speed sometimes is too fast, i don't know when i must use brake for the corner, turn


the steering with the ps4 controller, joystick is quite decent i guess, i'm starting to learn how you steer, that you must keep pushing joystick in the direction you want to go



first two races, two last places but still i finished the race (one of which with penalty seconds though)

my teammate Lundgaard finishing those two races in 16th (Bahrain) and 18th (Spain) respectively

[Nicky91]

F1 2021 again

started over, i also saw you can enable help at steering, brakes and i enabled that and it goes better for me (the beginner i am)

4th place in 1st free practice my team mate ended 21st so i need to coach him a bit more too or at least more time in the simulator training, bit more in the spotlight of the media either maybe


myteam is Minardi-Petronas, my name Gaston Mazzapane (i know mazzacane is real driver but i want to keep things mixed up of fantasy/real name) and my team mate is israeli Roy Nissany

[Nicky91]

Woo Hoo, 1st place in second free practice


16th in qualifying


shame i DNF'd in the race, but i couldn't do anything about that, i ended up having gotten lapped when i needed to repair my car after the start because of stupid Ocon when i tried to go in a turn he showed up out of nowhere and we collided and i got the blame and a penalty then i got yellow flagged i had to go in pit lane again to get behind the other cars and safety car, but i bumped into slow driving Vettel because they of course were slower behind safety car and i was catching up to them, so after that collision my nose flew off again, and i spinned out of the track


my team mate Nissany was driver of the day though so at least one positive out of that mess of a race

You'll pick up Nicky.

and yes i flopped


20th place, and lapped twice


my team mate Nissany finishing 18th



i hate Spain track, some of those corners are so difficult, i had to box twice too, since i felt like those hard tyres weren't good so i switched back to inters


at least i finished the race, unlike Ocon, Vettel the only DNF's

I need a new game, I finished Ghost of Tsu-tsu and I haven’t found a replacement yet . I was waiting for Far Cry 6 but I play first person games on PC and within the next couple of weeks I’m going to at some point be bed-bound (for up to four bloody weeks). PS5 is getting brought upstairs but PC gaming will be out for a month

What kinda Game are you looking for?

My personal recommendations.

Home Sweet Home if you're looking for a good Survival Horror experience.

Berserk And The Band Of The Hawk if you want a really fun Hack And Slash Game. And the story covers the general ball park of the Manga too, so it's a good entry point for potential new fans of the franchise.

Also Tales Of Arise has been a really fun JRPG.

Oh and if you're looking for a Platformer then I recommend Crash 4: It's About Time.

And my final recommendation is for Mafia III if you want a Mobster GTA type of Game. It has a great story, and imo I think that it's one of my favourite Mobster Games of all time controversially.

But yeah hopefully you get a speedy recovery TS.

[Nicky91]

am playing telltale twd over again, because i made couple of mistakes in terms of outcomes and certain dialogue options i had missed

currently at last story of 400 days


i sided almost every time with Kenny, and i'm planning to do the same for season 2 as well

[user104658]

I got the Ultimate Edition of Spider-man Miles Morales and I'm playing through the Spider-man Remaster right now. Enjoying it just as much as the first time, and it's brilliant at 60fps, I'm probably going to platinum it again . Nu Peter takes some getting used to but I don't mind it as much as some people seem to... he has a mask on 99% of the time so it's kind of an irrelevant change.

I never got around to the DLC's on PS4 so will be doing those this time, then playing through Miles Morales.

I’ve been playing FIFA 22 and tbh it’s been crap so I’ve gone back to playing Warzone cos they had the Halloween event which was actually pretty decent.

I’m unsure whether to get COD Vanguard or not? I might just wait and see what the reviews are saying.

FIFA hasn't been that good since FIFA 12 imo.

If you want a good Football game I'd recommend Inazuma Eleven, it has RPG elements too, just to warn you because I know some people don't like RPG's.

How have you been doing btw Dogeatdog?

[Nicky91]

i've discovered the swapping teams function on FIFA 21


so i've re-organised some leagues more my fantasy way now


i got Hamburger SV, and i LITERALLY bought Harry Kane for 194 million


i also bought John Fleck and Noussair Mazraoui




i also got Hannover 96 back into top division where for me they belong


in spain i placed Espanyol, Real Zaragoza, Real Mallorca back into top divisions of la liga either

Auxerre back into top division of france


i placed Brentford, Norwich City, Middlesbrough into premier league level instead of west brom, burnley, sheffield united

A good idea there Nicky.

On my end I've finally come out of Yakuza retirement as I'm playing Yakuza 0.

I'm only on chapter 3 so far, but I'm really enjoying the Game's content so far.

I finally finished this Game a couple of days ago.

A great Game like most Yakuza Games tbh, the story for Makoto's side of the story gets a bit too messy for my tastes by the end, but for the most part the story was intriguing.

There is a lot to do in the Game as well, basically if you want to take a break from the main Story you can do Substories, Karaoke, Scalextric (what memories) and Catfighting (attractive women wrestling each other not animal abuse) plus loads more.

Overall I score this Game a 9/10, for my personal taste I enjoyed Berserk: Band Of The Hawk more out of what I've played recently, but Yakuza 0 is a great Game like Tales Of Arise & Little Nightmares II imo.

Well done Nicky.

I'm playing Resident Evil Village at the moment, and I've got to say that I'm not liking it very much so far.

I normally love my Resi Games, but something about this one just feels distinctly missing.

I loved it and did multiple play throughs . It’s definitely a much more action-oriented game though, especially on repeat playthroughs with infinite ammo etc.

But yeah I played it to death - I did a 2.5 hour knife only/no crafting/no healing playthrough (to get various trophies all in one run) which was quite fun, I don’t often do speedruns.

In fairness I get why you or anyone else that likes the Game would like the Game, I think for me personally I really hate the actual open world Village segments, and I personally feel like at the moment there's not many elements of the Game in gameplay or story that screams that it's a Resident Evil Game imo.

[Nicky91]

i got pole position


1.37

and 2nd and 3rd places on 1.39





today i'll do the race, ooh i am scared focus on getting a good start i guess

[Nicky91]

i won the first race JIHAAAA (my team mate Deletraz only 20th sadly)


1. Rashad Khan (Qatar) Andretti Racing
2. Valtteri Bottas (Finland) Mercedes
3. Sergio Perez (Mexico) Red Bull



i fell back at start to near last place and i had to fight my way back up again



Imola up next, this one is tough, 19th in FP1 in rainy conditions and my team mate 13th

[Calderyon]

FML 22 on mobile.

Very addicting.

Before going on topic, if there are any Ukranians using this Forum, I sincerely hope that you can underdog this and crush Putin, not only is he a war criminal, but he has made his country a disgrace in it's current position that it's in.

I am honestly really angry about this topic, I'm really trying to be careful what I say though as I honestly don't hate Russia or the regular people, but I seriously hope that some karma comes Putin's way and that he somehow gets forced to resign, but I sadly don't see that happening.

Anyway back on topic to more fun stuff.

I tried playing the first Dark Souls a few days ago, and I still can't get the hang of that particular type of Game. I think I've just reached my limit of what I can and can't do in Video Gaming when it comes to that thing.

It's a well made Game though.

And then much more in my comfort zone I've been playing Primal, which is an old PS2 Game that let's you play as Jen (who's Human) and sexy to boot, and Scree who looks like a Gargoyle to me, but I might be wrong in saying that.

Basically it's a fun Game imo, it has two good characters imo (four if you count the two characters on Jen's chest) but being serious two good characters, a surprisingly strong story, and a decent combat and puzzles.

The only real negative that I have with the Game is the awful navigation in the Underwater stage of the Game, I never understand it when a Game makes everything in a particular zone look the same.

But overall a really fun Game imo.

I hope that everyone has been doing okay lately.
