@kyleforrester87 Good tip. I took the first sniper rife I could because I could see how useful it would be on the map. The enemies move slowly and aren't great at getting behind cover, so headshots are easy to come by. Far Cry 4 was also way too easy for the same reason. This is basically Japanese Far Cry.

Metal Gear Solid V. Holy moly it's a good stealth action game. You have to sit through a lot of nonsense to get to where you want to be, but once you're out there taking on the enemies, it's fantastic. Unlike previous MGS games, getting caught is one of the best parts because then you can bring out the big guns, grenades, C4, attack helicopters... and just go to war. I'm very impressed by this game.

I heard you had to do side missions in this game to level up so you could do the main missions. I might just put it on easy then because I'm so sick of AC side missions. When I played Unity I completely mainlined it and had a good time. The trick is to ignore the vomit of side missions on the map.

Re: Single Player Games Are Really Struggling Right Now

I notice that people don't float anymore from one AAA game to the next. It's more like continually playing one or two service based games and picking up the odd outstanding AAA game like Horizon Zero Dawn then going back to Dota/ CS Go / Destiny / League etc.

Re: Sony Doesn't See Much Potential in Portable Platforms

I've gone back and forth on the Switch, but in the end I don't think I'm gonna get one. I've actually been having a lot more luck with remote play on my Vita. I think they've gradually been improving that service. What I really would like is a new Vita with that thing getting on for 6 years old now... That doesn't appear to be in their plans. I wonder what they're going to do for that Asia/Japan market though...

Re: Review: PES 2018: Pro Evolution Soccer (PS4)

@AFCC I haven't enjoyed PES for two generations. That's after buying and loving 2,3,4, and 5 on PS2. Nothing could touch those games at the time. Now I can't get into PES or FIFA. It might also have a bit to do with not having a great Arsenal team to play with anymore...

Re: Why Didn't Sony Show Any Indie Games at E3 2017?

@banacheck I personally think the conference had too many similar AAA action adventure titles shown closely together. Dreams was promising a completely different flavour of game, so I think it would have been welcomed for that reason.

@get2sammyb Cool. I also think it was wise for Sony to do a more measured conference with truly solid games that will absolutely come out and be high quality. No Man's Sky under delivering, Dreams disappearing, the negative rumours circling about FF7, the lack of information on Shenmue, Rime being dropped, all reflect poorly on Sony.

@get2sammyb I enjoyed the longer press conferences because it gave guys like Sean Murray and Alex Williams the time to sell us on a vision. By blending indies with AAA games in press conferences, I think they successfully legitimized indies to the mainstream gamer and told a story about the PS4 with more diversity and imagination. God of War, Spider-Man, and Days Gone all look like 10/10 games, but they also feel like a bit of known quantity, to me.

Re: Why Didn't Sony Show Any Indie Games at E3 2017?

Wesker

I disagree. The conference needed exactly the type of variety indies bring to the table. Having all those narrative driven AAA games back-to-back made them all feel less special. They should have stayed more true to the concepts they launched the PS4 with.

Re: Review: Nex Machina (PS4)

@get2sammyb Weird question, but how do you fire in this game? Do you have to press the trigger like Aliennation, or is it automatic like Resogun?
