@zhoont I'm still stuck in the subway level and have been for a year. I'm out of ammo, lost and can't get out alive and the save slots in this game sucks big time. So I have yet to see how great this game really can be ... I mean, all the clues, and the Case board, it's all so confusing.
Great game. Both me and my son have sunk almost 100 hours into this game between us on PS4 and PS5. We both have got the platinum, and I also bought all the DLC. Such Great entertainment😊
Yeah I got it friday. And yes, it's been grand playing something familiar to COD again for the first time in 5-6 years. Also the Zombies mode is back and great to play. And the leveling, progression and gun play in MP is good. The game over all is very polished and no bugs so far. The old SBMM is there of course, so that is still negative.
@Yagami "They just need to stop jerking themselves off, lower their scopes and focus on quality over quantity. I´ll take an AC Odyssey any day, if it´s a third or even a fifth of the size, just super polished and with loads more thought and effort put into the remaining content."
I think it's a no brainer the Ubi formula is done and done. Many have grown tired of the same games in different wrappings. Some things need to change in a serious way. I also have had a good time with both Far cry games and AC games, but man, lately it's become very stale ...
@get2sammyb I loved DC! It was my first game on PS4 (bundled with the console). I've got such much fond memories from that era. I still think it's a real and utter shame that Evolution got closed down. What a developer!
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare Well summarized! I've had a lot of the same experiences with the game. I got the plat and never looked back, coz I was totally spent after the riding around.
@Kidfunkadelic83 I feel you. I'm still trying to get through it, but dayum it's clunky, slow and a lot of door opening and bad jet packs. And the AI is horrible and every level so far very samey. It's not bad, but far (very far)from some of the best shooters I've played including both Doom and Wolfenstein games for example.
@MasterChiefWiggum I agree on that. And also at times, this games is just an 'Open gates simulator', walking past empty assembly points and interacting with that door knob, again and again. Oh, and the jet packs, not very fun ...
Bah! This is just alarmingly depressive. I was once also a PC gamer. It was good reasons why I chose console instead… I’ll go play some Vampire survivors now. I will not need the Pro for that, like ever …
Bought it and love it!
It makes me wonder though, why Capcom don't make a similar version of the old Commando game, with hordes of enemies and you the player just mowing them down in a similar fashion but maybe still just vertical scrolling and not endless levels. I'd buy that for a few dollars for sure (I know I'm very old and old school )
@nessisonett I also played the Beta. I didn't hate it but I don't love it either. And I can't see myself paying for this. If it was FTP I probably would give it some more time, but as it is now, no way.
I love these games. But I'm also surprised by why many of the old shooters hasn't been remade for consoles; like Terra Cresta, Xenon, Xenon2, RType, Sanxion, Delta, Commando, 1942 etc. I think they would be great. Also the old platformeres like Monty on the run and Aufwiedersehen and so on. I think so extremely many cools things could be done with these games and added upon with the fidelity and possibilities the new HW has now.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Yeah, I feel you, same here. But ... with 2 player and my son by my side, this could go well. This looks so sweet! I completed Xenon2 Megablast on the A500 back in the 90's without any cheats, so there is hoping
Yeah, I tried it, and it's not bad. I'll boot it up frequently to check on the changes UBI will be doing the coming weeks after all the feedback from users on netcode etc.
I'm still stuck in the subway level of AW2, and haven't played it since november ... It's just to damn weird and the save slots etc. is hopeless and not being able to restart a level is not good... at all.

@BAMozzy so true. I saw recently that David Vonderhaar has started a new studio called Bullet Farm. Their philosophy with no BS games, no annual releases and no battle pass, sounds Very interesting.
@get2sammyb "especially as the PS5 begins to move beyond its peak years and into the latter stages of its lifecycle"
This must be based on experience from previous generations and the belief the current gen will be similar. I would say in no way the PS5 has peaked. My PS5 is still sitting here waiting to be maxed out by som monster games(not released on PS4 also). And this gen was hit hard in the start (pandemic) and now we're on the cusp of starting the articles regarding 'next gen' even before the likes of Naughty Dog have released anything new this gen. I'm almost lost for words how weird it's all become ...
@Northern_munkey I haven't played it and I didn't vote. That said, I would've liked it if there was an alternative in the poll saying 'Not played it yet'
