My thoughts exactly! It's such a shame as they have a good game here let down by systems that I cannot believe they have implemented. Who honestly sat there in the development meeting and signed this off?
I like the gameplay but there is simply too much downtime between missions and the loading screens whilst improved from the beta are still soul destroying.
@mimiku A common misconception, but I can asure you in many games there are people cheating on console. It's far less common and it's also far more work, but it is possible.
The Internet seems unhappy with almost anything and everything lately which is making it harder and harder to find websites to rely on for good impartial reviews and discussion.
In fairness to Respawn, they gave an excellent game in Titanfall 2 (one of the best single player FPS games in years) and a brilliant free to play title in Apex Legends!
I’ll happily look forward to any title they release in the future given their recent track record.
Anyone on the fence about trying this game, give it a shot! It’s absolutely fantastic! Great fun in a small group of friends, fantastic gunplay and movement from titanfall 2 and runs like a dream!
When it works, the game is fantastic! It's so frustrating with all the technical faults though. I don't get why there is such a massive issue when the alpha client ran faultlessly.
Give what Sony have provided game wise this year along with what we have coming next year, they can take all the time they want announcing 2019 fall and 2020 titles!
@ShaiHulud personally I thought the campaign for Titanfall 2 was one of the better ones in a long time! I paid full price for it and loved the game. At £3.99 it’s an absolute steal for the 6-8 hour story alone. It’s so much more than cod with robots!
I honestly don't understand why there is no legislation in place to stop these companies releasing products which are nowhere near ready. They are clearly taking advantage of their dedicated fans.
It should be a given in the current digital generation. We have massive catalouge of games on our accounts now and the opportunity to go back to them if wanted should be available.
@sonicmeerkat Honestly I'd take it and play the campaign as even just limiting yourself to that it's a good blast for that price. If you decide you like it then bonus
I must admit the reveal looks quite interesting and should set the stepping stones to a return to form with the big September update (Taken King part 2??). I love Destiny and continue to play weekly although its just one night a week opposed to 4 or 5 with the first game.
The only game I'm interested from EA is Battlefield. Everything else would only be considered following a number of good reviews. Battlefront has left a very sour taste in my mouth.
Just finished the main campaign and the hidden ones DLC and burnt out a little so taking a break before starting on this one. Good to see such a positive review though.
Only just finished the main campaign and have a few levels to grind before I can start The Hidden Ones, then onto this which looks pretty awesome in fairness

Re: Respawn Bans Over 16,000 Cheaters from Apex Legends, Plans to Add In-Game Report Feature
I’ve put a ton of hours in and not seen anyone I suspsect of cheating on PS4.
PC has always had massive issues with cheats and always will do. I suspect 99.9% of that 16,000 are all on PC.
Re: Neill Blomkamp's ANTHEM Video Conviction Is More of a Trailer Than a Short Film
I want more!!!!! Excellent trailer & bring on the 22nd!
Re: God of War Cleans Up at DICE Awards 2019 with Nine Wins
The game and the people who worked hard developing the game deserve all the credit around! Absolute masterpiece!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 258
I've been waiting for The Division 2 beta for ages but can't stop playing Apex Legends!!!!! May have to consider my pre-order on this one.
Re: Hands On: Apex Legends Is the First Compelling Twist on the Battle Royale Genre
I'm in love with this game!

Bravo Respawn Entertainment, Bravo!
Re: ANTHEM Public Demo Appears to Be Going Smoothly on PS4
The more I play it, the more I want to explore the world and story. Day off work booked for release weekend and cannot wait!
Re: ANTHEM VIP Demo Still a Mess for Many Thanks to Endless Load Screens and Frequent Disconnects
When it works, the game is fantastic! It's so frustrating with all the technical faults though. I don't get why there is such a massive issue when the alpha client ran faultlessly.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 256
Pubg & Anthem (when it works)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 254
PUBG for me this weekend although over the course of yesterday I gradually performed worse and worse
Re: Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition for PS4 Spotted Again Via Ratings Listing
@MattyHammo yes, I’m with you 100% on this. A remaster with all the DLC would be awesome!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 252
Just picked up Assassin’s Creed in the sale! Enjoying what I’ve played so far.

@TheArt I wish I was playing God of War for the first time again! Enjoy!!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 249
Anthem Alpha in 7 mins
Other than that, Destiny 2 and maybe some Dragon Age Inquisition!

Re: The Game Awards 2018: God of War Wins Game of the Year
I thought Red Dead would take this but super happy to see GOW taking the award. Game of the generation for me personally!
Re: The Game Awards 2018: ANTHEM Spews Some Sci-Fi Mumbo Jumbo with Story Trailer
I thought that video looked awesome personally
Alpha invite has been approved and just waiting on the email to come through to download in preperation for tomorrow's test!

Re: ANTHEM Closed Alpha Test Starts Next Weekend on PS4, Sign Ups Open Now
Signed up! I want this game to rock my world so badly.
Re: Fallout 76 - A Shockingly Bad Attempt at Multiplayer Survival
I honestly don't understand why there is no legislation in place to stop these companies releasing products which are nowhere near ready. They are clearly taking advantage of their dedicated fans.
Re: God of War Wins Big at the 2018 Golden Joystick Awards
Very well deserved! My GOTY without a doubt.
I'm due a second full playthrough very shortly
Re: Destiny 2 Is Still Making Activision a Crazy Amount of Money
I still play daily and enjoy it. I'd say the series is in the best position it has been in with the current build.
Re: Battlefield V's Release Schedule Is So Ridiculous There's Now a Guide
EA slowly doing what EA do best, screwing shiz up!
I’ve always enjoyed the Battlefield games but this one doesn’t appeal to me at all.
Re: Patent Prompts PS5 Backwards Compatibility Rumours
It should be a given in the current digital generation. We have massive catalouge of games on our accounts now and the opportunity to go back to them if wanted should be available.
Fingers crossed this is true
Re: Fortnite Players on PS4 Can Now Login on Other Consoles
Now give me this for Destiny so I can go to the PC version
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 226
The Division for me at the moment and enjoying the game again
Re: E3 2018: Nioh 2 Unleashes Surprise Announcement Trailer
I wasn't expecting this but super excited to jump back into the world again.
Re: Brand New ANTHEM Assets Unearthed Ahead of E3 2018
I want to be really excited for this but EA have left a very bitter taste in my mouth from Battlefront 2!
Re: Nioh Slashes Through Two Million Sales Worldwide
@Elodin you will not be disappointed! It’s a fantastic game with super slick combat. It’s still rage inducing like the souls series though 😂
Re: Nioh Slashes Through Two Million Sales Worldwide
This is one of my favourite games of this console generation so far. I prefer the faster combat in this to the Souls games.
I don't plat many games purely out of time constraints but I done this! 10/10 game for me!
Re: God of War Surpasses 5 Million Units in a Month
@JohnnyShoulder
Bummer on the dlc front but glad there are sequels!
Saying that I’ll be happy to play through the game again shortly!
Re: God of War Surpasses 5 Million Units in a Month
I’m glad it was so successful and I hope to god they are working on a truck load of story DLC! Take my money!
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Gets a Brilliant New Story Trailer
@jacobia WOW how did I miss that then? Oh dear /hangs head in shame!
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Gets a Brilliant New Story Trailer
Never played the first one (previous Xbox fanboy sorry!) and wish they would remaster it!

Re: Soapbox: You Should Play God of War III While You Wait for Kratos' Return
@Flaming_Kaiser I hope so mate! I'm so hyped for the new one and thought this would tickle my taste buds whilst we impatiently wait!!
Re: Soapbox: You Should Play God of War III While You Wait for Kratos' Return
Picked it up on Amazon for £11 yesterday and plan to play it this weekend! Never played the series before
Re: PS5 Is a Long Way Away, Or So Sources Say
Until they can make a reasonably prices machine that will do 4K 60fps with HDR comfortably I really don't see the point in a new console.
Re: PlayStation VR Becomes Even More Affordable as Sony Cuts Prices
OK now I am super tempted and will probably bite at this even if its just for a few titles.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 211
Started a new Borderlands 2 character again - ooo it's good!!

Assassins Creed: Origins for me, about 25 hours in!
