Re: Video: Which Far Cry Game Is the Best?

NoCode23

My favorite to date is FC5. Plays and looks great on my PRO, big interesting map, fun companions, Peaches and Cheeseburger, the Arcade online mode, and the New Dawn expansion/dlc .

My choice may change after i play six. I have played all listed except six and BD.

FC3 plays and looks better on PS3 compared to the poor PS4 port. A remaster of FC3 would be nice for this fun game.

FC2 has its moments but i find it annoying and unplayable. The world is not really open which limits movement as i try to fight respawning enemies as my assault rifle jams after a few shots and i die. Adding more annoyance is no fast travel between safe houses.

FC4 is my second to FC5. Interesting map and i can ride elephants.

Primal i rented and never finished or purchased. It has different and fun going for it, but not the graphics. I hate the washed out, god ray volumetric lighting mess that made my eyes hurt.

FC Classic on PS3 is a classic that i still find fun to play. The PS3 version also looks and plays well.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Far Cry 6?

@ Toypop, how is the ammo system annoying? Is it because specific ammo types are needed for certain enemies with other ammo types being useless, and that multiple ammo types can not be carried at the same time?

A review i watched mentioned specific ammo types and how it could be annoying. Hopefully an annoying ammo system will be fixed in a patch.

Re: Feature: 12 PS5 Firmware Updates We Want to See

NoCode23

1, Shapeshifting app to optionally reshape the PS5. Matt black rectangular box shape is my choice.

2, all of the choices given here as most wanted.

3, I am a member of the console web brower users anonymous. I am using the PS4 browser now. No little phone/ tablet screen, i am viewing on a big tv screen using a DS4 to type. It' so easy and so convenient.

The X Box Series X & S were released with a browser and received a new updated browser this month.

Re: PS4 Users Report Issues After Downloading Firmware Update 9.00

NoCode23

@ Sawako, The same thing happened to me this past weekend and maybe a year ago. It happend on my PRO which is not registered as my primary PS4. My fix was turning my system off then back on. No more messages, no 15 min. warning.

I always do a wait and see before i download a firmware update, and never download non mandatory updates. One non mandatory PS4 update 2-3 year ago caused problems that required a patch to fix.

Re: GTA 5 Is One of the Most Disliked PS5 Trailers Ever

NoCode23

For me it was not about the graphics. I gave 2 thumbs down to the lack of presentation and mention of new content. Specifically, SIGNIFICANT NEW CONTENT. Better graphics and performance? Well, duh, it should be if it a PS5 upgraded version of a PS3 game.

Re: GTA 5 Fans Are Not Happy with Expanded & Enhanced's PS5 Reveal

NoCode23

Epic facepalm moment was my reaction to that GTA 5 video yesterday.

I will hold my final judgement to when the details are released of the PS5 version.

As for graphics GTA 5 looks very good on my PRO when the weather and atmosphere are clear. Like when online and in a car race and sunny and bright is selected. Eveything looks sharp with good color. However it seems that 90% of the time, on and off line, the visual quality is reduced, some or a lot, by Rockstar's GTA weather/atmosphere/ blur effects simulator guy. That guy's brother is the weather effects simulator guy for RDR2.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the New Saints Row?

NoCode23

Four middle class teens from the suburbs that just graduated from high school and are now bored. What to do? Get a McJob? No way!

Then as they sit in a coffee shop with faces buried into their iPhones one of the four, Urkel, giggles and suggests they should start a gang. All four unanimously squeal with excitement at how really awesomely cool that would be. Thus a gang is born.

Re: Dying Light 2 Stays Alive with Acrobatic Story Trailer

NoCode23

Almost Spider-Man parkour and human enemies reminiscent of Mad Max. Definitely does not look like the first Dying Light. That's probably good considering the vast number of hours i have played the first game. My hopes still remain high for DL2 to be a game that i can add to my favorites list.

Re: Dying Light 2 Schedules Gamescom Showcase for 26th August

NoCode23

I have high hopes for DL2. Starting with Dead Island the combat, story and map gets better to me with each new game.

Big pluses for DL2 would be higher ammo carry limit, ammo crafting, molotoves/explosives more effective, custom mapping of controller buttons, camera motion blur options, and fov options.

Re: Soapbox: GTA: San Andreas Is Still an Open World Classic

NoCode23

SA was a release day purchase for me. Right after work i hurried on down to my local Blockbuster. At home i was giddy as i removed the wrapping and put the disc in the tray of my PS2.

VC was a step up from GTA 3. San Andreas was a giant leap up from VC. Fond memories? Jet pack, basketball, riding bycycles, home burglaries, getting an Elvis haircut, the crazy car crashes on a particular hill in San Fierro, the Catalina missions, and the many hours of just messing around in free roam using the long list of codes. Peds riot and recruit anyone are fun codes to use.

Re: Talking Point: How Would You Improve PS Plus?

NoCode23

I picked other as i want a cheaper price, $20, for basic online play for those like me that are not interested in the games offered. The Plus discounts always seem to be for games i have, games that i don't want, or games i want but a physical copy instead of a digital copy.

Re: Rumour: GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas Being Remastered for PS5, PS4 with 'New and Old Graphics'

NoCode23

I'll see it when i believe it. However if true then yea i will be like a little kid that can't wait for xmas and a new bycycle promised.

My pick would be Liberty City Stories for a remaster instead of GTA 3. I find LCS an overall better game that featured motorcycles, protagonist Toni Cipriani, better missions, fun replayable stuff, improved camera/movement and more. However new remasters would most likely feature the current camera and controls of GTA5.

Re: GTA Online Guide: Tips, Tricks, and Where to Start

NoCode23

1. Play story before starting online. At least enough to get familiar with the map and basic game mechanics. Stealing a taxi and doing fares and stealing a helicopter is what i did to learn the map.

2. After the intro play online in invite only, alone or with friends, to learn the basics before entering a public lobby. Public lobbies have predictably high occurrences of random amounts of chaos.

3. Most of online is playable in a private lobby. Multiplayer races, survivals, and missions can be joined from a private lobby. Business stuff needing a public lobby can be done by tricking into a solo public lobby if desired. Also private lobbies have better frames rates, shorter loading, free of griefers, and free of modders/cheaters.

4. First thing for making money is to buy the cheapest office and become a CEO. Then take advantage of everthing that is free. Think before you spend for expensive vehicles and cloths. Buy the armored Kuruma before buying a super class car.

Re: GTA 6 Out in 2025 with Fortnite-Like Evolving Map, Leaker Claims

NoCode23

A rumor about GTA 6 maybe releasing four years from now. Well ok cool, but i hope no R* staff responsible for RDO are involved with that project.

If 2025 is the release date then it will be 12 years between GTA 5 and 6. That would be like if Vice City came out in 2013, 12 years after GTA 3 released in 2001.

Yes i wish 6 was releasing today or even a year ago, but as i age i have become more patient in waiting for the good things. GTA 6 will probably be a good thing and so worth the long wait.

Re: GTA 5 Heading Offline on PS3 by the End of This Year

NoCode23

Well i quess it's time to go on a big spending spree for my 2 characters that share a bank of about $45 million. First stop is the Unicorn and make it rain.

The best of GTA online in many ways was the first year. For me that first year was golden. My breaks after hours of play would be reading and responding to the GTA Forum and watching GTA Online videos.

Sad to see it end on the PS3, but the player numbers are probably very low now. However GTAO coming soon to current gen gives me comfort in knowing that my 2 characters, tranfered from PS3 to PS4, will still live on.

Re: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Is a Fantasy Borderlands Spin-Off Coming Next Year

NoCode23

Tiny Tina was fun in BL2. Definitely silly like a twisted Hannah Montana. I was then disappointed when Tina was not one of the playable characters in BL3. A good game, but i thought she would be awesome as one of the vault hunters.

I will need to see more than this teaser trailer. However count me real interested just knowing it is a Borderlands spinoff with Tina getting her own game.

Re: PS3 Received a New Firmware Update, By the Way

NoCode23

Why am i paranoid about adding a new update to my PS3 slim? Especially after the recent announced and then cancelled store closure. Sony may be annoyed that so many PS3's are still working and in regular use. Like the last 2 updates i am going to wait and see before updating my 11 year old original slim.

Recent plays on PS3; New Vegas and Naughty Bear Panic in Paradise.

Re: Talking Point: Did Sony Lie About PS5?

NoCode23

Thankfully there are so many new games on both gens. How sad to have RE8, FC6, ect. only on PS5 this early in the current gen life.

Also there is the superior performance of the game when played on PS5 compared to on PS4. Just 60fps instead of 30fps along with faster loading makes the upgrade worth the wait for PS5 only games. Then too how many of those future PS5 only games may make the PS5 seem weak?
