Still into AC Origins (40 hrs, not yet finished the main story) which I love.
I have dropped Destiny 2 (what a massive let down, both the Vanilla and the first dlc) and got hooked again with some friend on The Division (that game is getting better and better).
@ShogunRok endgame is boring as hell. Most activities have no mean and personally I found the raid very repetitive and infuriating without any intense boss battle. The disappearence of gun rolls killed the game completely then.
I got the season pass, but I have zero interest in going back to that game
@get2sammyb Wolfenstein 2?
True about infinite warfare (I agree with you that campaign was way better than this year's one).
I am still thinking about Titanfall 2, a pure gem that bombed hard (and sold considerably less than Cod:IW)
No surprise regarding Doom for Switch. It is very tipical that Nintendo fans cry for new games on their console and then they just ignore everything that does not have Mario or Zelda in it...
This specific franchise could be good or bad, could have great or poor single player campaigns full of cliches... it could have broken servers for days and days or be based on a real conflict without even trying to recreate the real feel of it....doesn't matter...it will still print money.
@get2sammyb the selling point of gran turismo for me was always the single player career mode. That is gone. Single player AI I found it ridicolously easy anyhow, online I got ghost cars (??) penetrating my own car, got penalized for being bounced out of the track and generally had to wait 20 min before racing. Ah, 3 times every 4 I got server connection issues....
If this is the future of GT franchise, I will stay with Forza
I also bought the ps4 in 2014 for a proper GT game, and after trying the beta I am thinking buying an xbox one s with Forza....
The driving feels very arcadey. My beloved Alfa Romeo 4c handle exactly the same as all the other cars, single player is a joke and arcade won t let you race a cup....
Huge letdown for me. Between this and Battlefront 2 I am pretty pissed
Destiny 2 is very dumb compare to the first, too straight forward. No random characterization of weapons anymore, useless strikes, overcomplicated mechanics in the raid (it is not though, just annozing). No secret exotic quests... In a sentence I am bored of it.
Well, after two weeks, i am basically left with nothing to do. The only way to rise my power are the weekly quests that will come tomorrow. (and bungie promised tons of content.....).
I guess it is finally the time to experience the eastern front in Battlefield 1
They should release a Vanilla Ware collection: Murasama Rebirth, Dragon Crown and Odin Sphere all in the same box. And that would be my first preorder in years....
"I think the game is actually a great game..." ahahahahahahaha....
Story was boring at best and quests were sooo repetitive...
Also, you got a whole new galaxy with what, 1 new alien race only? Same wild animals on every planet no matter the weather and the kind of Biome? are you kidding? Laziest release ever for a Mass effect game
@AlexStinton #17 totally agree. It is definitely a space simulation, and it looks so retro in being so, i used to love this kind of games back in the 90's pc gaming!
@LieutenantFatman don't give up! With a lil of practice you will get it. Yesterday I passed from almost throeing the pad at the tv to very smooth (usually...) landings.
Remember that by pressing L3 you will switch from lateral trusters to front rotation with your right stick. It help a lot to allign your ship to the docking pad.
Thank you very much for the guide Alex! I have got it yesterday and after the first 20 minutes spent hovering pointlessy over a landing pad, it is going much better!.
Very steep learning curve but the vastness of it is totally worth!
I stopped having fun with cod after Black Ops 2. Too much verticality and too fast ttk killed the fun for me.
I had much more fun with Titanfall 2 and Destiny as fast shooters and found myself home again with Battlefield 1, which is very tactical. So if WW2 is going towards that direction I appreciate, but I believe many people won't be so happy
It will all be about the games. Sony had won the console war so far for this iteration and I seriously doubt Microsoft has many Aces in the sleeve at e3.
Scorpio situation looks very dire at the moment. The only thing that can save it is if it turns to be a sort of Steam machine, but I strongly doubt it will happen

Re: Guide: The Best PS4 Local Multiplayer Games
Diablo and Borderlands with my GF have been a blast. Overcooked too, but sometimes it gets frustrating.
Also Broforce is great as coop game
Re: Assassin's Creed Origins PS4 Patch 1.10 Out Now, Adds Horde Mode, Difficulty, Enemy Scaling
I am loving it so much. 40+ hrs into it and still plenty of places I did not touch yet

At night I try to go on with Evil Within.
Re: Bungie Details Big Destiny 2 Changes Coming in December, New Weapon Tier, More Rewards
I do not see any groundbreaking changes here.
Big problems are still there.
Re: Guide: The Promising New PS4 Games of December 2017
I will pick something from my backlog then...
Very poor month to be honest...

Re: Poll: Are You Buying Star Wars Battlefront 2?
I will take a stand against this microtransactions madness so EA won't see a penny from me.
...this game should have been their excuse for the lacklustre prequel....
Re: October 2017 NPD: PS4 Is Still the Best Selling System of the Year
GT sport also bombed, right? Do you have sales numbers for it?

I do not really get it.
Re: Game of the Month: Top 4 PlayStation Games of October 2017
AC origins hands down. It repayed me for the big disappointment of GT Sport

Re: Feature: Assassin's Creed Origins' Open World Is One of the Best We've Ever Seen
@ShogunRok In terms of weather, have you seen bugs rain??? 😃
Re: Feature: Assassin's Creed Origins' Open World Is One of the Best We've Ever Seen
@ShogunRok I can see that by looking at my friend list! How many hours have you already sunk into the game?
I am also loving too, keep thinking about it when I am not playing it. Did not happen many times recently...
Re: Review: Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon (PS4)
Reading the review I was expecting an 8 at least.
Re: Review: Gran Turismo Sport (PS4)
@Gamer83 #23 spot on!
I don't get this justufication "he cut the single player and car numbers, but now the racing is good"
Why can't be both???
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 191
Various Forzas for me!
Re: Feature: DriveClub Is An Alternative to Gran Turismo Sport Worth Considering
Fantastic game. Pure racing for the sake of it!
Still the best graphics on ps4, I love the driving model and it is not an easy game at all! The Dark Souls of the simcades

Re: Site News: Gran Turismo Sport PS4 Review - Where's Our Verdict?
I was so impressed by the Beta that this weekend I got an Xbox One S with Forza Horizon 3 and Forza 7 on it......
Re: Bungie Is Looking Into Improving Destiny 2's Endgame
They made a huge mistake when they decide to get rod of the weapon roll.
Once reach 300 (super easily) there is nothing left to do

Moved to FiFa and my huge backlog

Re: Gamescom 2017: Here's 11 Whole Minutes of Open World RPG BioMutant Gameplay
I am very much sold at this point. Could be the next big surprise...
Re: Gamescom 2017: Monster Hunter: World Is the Real Deal in Direct PS4 Gameplay
Looks cool, and I would prefer if the grinding is a bit "watered down". Monster Hunter Tri can be extremely boring at time.
The only thing I do not like at all is the map, still this "arenas" connected to corridors and not a real open world like Horizon.
Re: Assassin's Creed Origins' Completely New Combat System Explained
It looks darksoulesque... maybe will be my next AC after the IV.
Re: Review: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (PS4)
Hi Sammy, thank you for the great review, as usual.
Could you comment a little more about the combat system? Is it relying on parry, dash and so on? What about weapons?
Re: Gran Turismo Sport May Be in for a Tough Ride
No GT career no purchase for me. Simply as that.
There are plenty of racing games I can play online already.
Waiting for Project Cars 2. The guys did a great job with the first.

Re: Final Fantasy XV Goes Off-Road with 8.65GB Patch
Most overrated game of the generation, imho.
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Most Anticipated Games for the Second Half of the Year?
In no particular order: Project Cars 2, Destiny 2, Elite Dangerous.
The rest of the year is pretty unexciting for me

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 173
I am all about racing game now: dirt4, project cars and Wipeout omega collection. Life is beautiful... and fast!
Re: Project CARS 2 Starts Its Engine on 22nd September
Rhe first one with a driving wheel is the top sim on ps4. The second will improve from that and, qualitatively speaking, will shadow GT

Re: Review: The Surge (PS4)
After Lords of the fallen and this, it seems they got potential, but they definitely need a proper game director...
