At the moment voice chat isn't working for me, to the point where I can't hear other players. The only time it has worked is in the lobbies before missions and in ps4 party. It's set to 'everyone' in the interaction menu so I don't know why it doesn't work. Could someone help me with this please?

Xbox One

I know we are primarily a Sony PS3/4 crew but I was wondering if anyone else plays on Xbox and if so what games do you play? I have a Xbox One (and an old 360) and I mainly use it to play Forza 6 and Horizion 2/3 although I do have a few other games such as Dirt Rally and Need for Speed as they were cheaper to pick up secondhand than on the PS4. My user ID is the skip rat, feel free to add me .

I have noticed a lot of lag recently, much of the lag seems to come from certain players, although there have been crazy instances of lag with quite a few players in the crew. It can be pretty frustrating during contact races and DM's with said players literally bouncing from one location to the next, killing you at least a second after you've taken cover and even instances of players getting back up off the floor and continuing after clearly being headshot killed. I don't wanna show anyone up, I'm simply trying to find out something that may help people find faults with their connections and maybe improve them over time. It would be interesting if members would t…

I've sung the praises for the Sony Gold headset on this forum before and my opinion has not changed. They have always worked flawlessly for me. However I realized early on that while they look bulky and robust, in reality the plastic it thin and brittle and seems prone to breaking. Other users confirm this and I've read reports of them breaking. So I've always handled them very carefully like they were made of glass. They've never been dropped or tossed. Last Friday I got home early and the EU playlist was still going on so I joined and when I picked up the headset the head band cracked in half. I was careful to not put any stress on the wires that connect the left to rig…

4k TV or VR?

Question as the title. I'm now happy with my PC set up for now. The next thing on my upgrade list is going to be my viewing equipment. I currently have a 3 year old 40" 1080 LCD TV, nothing wrong with it really but seeing as my PC is 4k compatible I think I could get better. I've seen 4k TV's at around £400 but the alternative is getting the oculus rift or PSVR. 90% of my free time at home I'm gaming, other 10% of the time I do have company and end up watching films TV etc. Should I buy a new TV or save up the extra cash to get the VR equipment? Few things I'm not sure about are, is the Rift compatible with Playstation VR or is the PS VR compatible with P…

I was wondering how many people here have the camera/motion sensor accessory for the PS4. If you have it do you ever use it? Mine has sat under the TV since day 1 but other than a few minutes setting it up I can't remember ever having used it. In fact I was thinking of selling it as I'm sick of moving it to dust

OMG OMG OMG!!! Ok, so I'm sure you all have noticed by now that PS VR is getting ready to release in NA. If not, CLICK HERE to find out more about it! So, I have been signed up through GBTN (Global Beta Test Network) For a little while, trying to get that dream job of being PAID to test video games... well, my dream has come true! On June 30th, I received an e-mail asking if I had already pre-ordered, or planned on pre-ordering, the PC Oculus Rift, or the PS VR setup. I replied to them, and said more than likely not, do to the cost. They had responded and just asked that if I change my mind, to let them know. So Mrs. Complex and I sat back and talked... Figur…

179Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 1

I agree @djw180 The Fall of the House of Usher is worth a watch for Mark Hamill’s performance alone. Plus, I’ve been on the fence about watching Kaos. I will definitely give it a go now. Thanks!- 2

TV shows
I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1
