Rainbow Six Siege patch notes for the update that goes live today @9 to 5 @Jericode @Stevie B @Cymbols @Just Joe and I feel like I am missing someone and I feel awful for it >_> Some really cool stuff in there - your Glaz gets a cool new claymore item Niner, Twitch gets a significant boost, Blackbeard has mercifully had a major nerf, Doc gets a big boost that helps both him and team mates, Thermite has lost his breaches in favour of claymores too, a lot of people have lost access to nitro cells meaning that shield operators are actually a significant element of play now (apparently "again"), Mute has reportedly had the biggest weapon buff out of all operators, there's now an attachment that makes long range shots hit harder but with more recoil (weirdly Glaz can't use it) many defenders now get "Impact Grenades" which sounds like they will be useful for those last seconds you need to keep someone out of the objective room, plus a whole host of other stuff.

Also, PS4 4.00 goes live today.

What do claymores do? I liked having breaches as thermite  

Also, no mods for Skyrim rules me out. Fucking spiders. 

[Benji]

Claymores are placed on the ground, ideally near doors or choke points, and blow up. Similar to Kapkan's door trap, but can be placed on the floor. Useful to protect your back whilst you're droning/preparing a long breach charge/sniping. Have to admit, I'm not sure Thermite needed them either, but he's still pretty strong.

[Cymbols]

Claymores seem a bit pointless for attacking tbh. Just seems a bit daft that the guy who can breach reinforced walls can no longer do normal ones. 

Also, can I play DVDs on my PlayStation? Read something about needing to install something first. 

[Benji]

He can still do normal ones, he just has to use his thermite charges to do so. Plus he can still breach with his gun like everyone else.

I like them to be honest, too many people roam, and claymores will cut down on that. It's basically a tactical nuke on Caveira sneaking about everywhere.

 

RE: DVD

Quote

Yes, you will need to download and install PS4’s day-one system software update 1.50, and then activate your Blu-ray Disc video capability with a one-time activation through the internet in order to play Blu-ray Disc films and DVD video content..

Booooo I was hoping Sledge would get like, two sledgehammers.

[Cymbols]

Not gonna lie, I just stuck the DVD in and it worked.

And why stop at two sledgehammers? Why not four?

Sledge is boosted, the new attachment is apparently very effective with his sniper weapon.

Resident Evil and Transformers Devastation for free in October

[Benji]

Original Resi? Wonderful!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Interesting pair, never played any of the Resident Evils so will have to give it a go.

[Just Joe]

 I paid £15 for it when they brought it out. I'll be getting Devastation, it's meant to be very good. 

[lanky316]

Was looking at Devastation just the other day, good thing saved the money on that!

[King Ellis]

Seems like some UK places are seeing (normal) PS4 + FIFA 17 for £150 at the moment. Shame @Baddar spent £200 on the one he's getting someone as a gift...

Still, considering FIFA is like 35/40£, you're getting a PS4 for like £110. Crazy. Maybe it's a time/stock limited thing?

[Baddar]

Yeah, but do I care though?

Sounds like a good time to join us Ellis.

[King Ellis]

I've had a PS4 since like March 2015. It's primary use is to attract dust.

Get Overwatch

[Cactus Drags]

Transformers Devastation was decent. Loved the art style and the core gameplay. Weapon crafting was wank, and its a bit on the short side, so it gets pretty repetitive pretty quickly. I got 40 quid's worth of entertainment out of it anyway.

If anyone wants to play the Overwatch clone that pre-dates Overwatch.

[Benji]

We're going to try and get some Last of Us MP going tomorrow around 9ish if anyone wants to join in.

EDIT: That's GMT btw, @Meacon
