Played about 3 hours yesterday and after a frustrating entry period it started to click and had a good time. It’s a weird mix of battlefield & Apex wrapped in a gaudy game show. It’s solid enough at its core but different enough it stands out.
Im not sure if I’ll stick with it but it has potential. Time will tell if there’s more fundamental issues with it but given its free id say try it.
The recent trailer showed there will be modifiers applied ( looked like a flaming melee mod from the very brief clip). I think this mode will be great as TLOU2 has some genuinely good gameplay that often gets overlooked due to the heavy story focus and general controversy it had at launch.
I tend to think about Infinite this time of year and jump back in for a few weeks but holy shit! Let’s fucking go with firefight! I love this mode and if this is a good version it might get me to stick longer this time around.
The weakest CoD in years (ever?), in a year or nothing but gold releases across every platform and it still causes waves and records. No wonder this DLC was pumped up into a full game and pushed out half arsed, why try when you win without effort.
It’s exactly a DLC that Activision realised they could make people pay £70 for instead of half that. Only a few weeks after MW2 came out it was being floated that there was no COD for 2023, and instead a Ghost focused expansion would come out to fill the void.
Don’t like it don’t buy it but FFS stop with faux shock and horror. COD is of the most aggressively monetised franchises in mainstream gaming, from a company with zero scruples. Facts that have been valid for a decade or more and the regular news cycle attached to it all gets tiring.
Ignore the bugger and maybe they’ll be forced to do better next time when this sell’s poorer (you can hope at least). It’s not like this is some long awaited sequel either, just skip this one. There’s so much more to play this year in particular.
Can’t agree more. I don’t think there’s a studio under MS that’s done better under their leadership/portfolio than they’d done prior to their acquisition. The studios created to shepherd Xbox franchises that original studios move on from generally have never matched the highs previously seen either.
I also don’t appreciate them hoovering up franchises, via acquisitions whilst failing to develop much new that’s if any note. All it does is condemn a growing back catalogue to mediocrity or have them disappear into the vault.
Sony aren’t perfect but their studios tend to produce top tier games that look and feel like they’re a tier above most, making the most of their “exclusivity”. Most (all?) their major releases are their own franchises developed in house too, and it feels like there’s a steadier turn out of new, quality IP to boot.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor port for PS4 and Xbox One is in its ‘early stages of development’. Performance improvements in current versions are a ‘top priority’ for Respawn.
Given how rough this game is (was? not sure how much its been patched) on current gen and OC I’m not hopeful about an old gen version.
Really liked the game but playing on PS5, the performance was definitely a distraction to the point I put the game down and still haven’t gone back to it.
Don’t disagree with your point but it was only a 51.9/48.1 split of votes cast.
In raw numbers only 72.2% of eligible voters actually voted and so the split against the total pool was:
37.5% of voters for Brexit -34.8% of voters against Brexit -27.8% of voters did not vote
It is what it is and we are where we are but I feel two points quite strings about these figures:
-Little over a third of the population upset the established norm to our collective detriment on empty promises and questionable rhetoric.
Just under a third of our population didn’t even turn up and threw away there say in something that was going to be permanent and far reaching to their lives.
It just rubs me up the wrong way how so few can affect so many on such aobg term basis. This isn’t on the scale of having you choice loose at an election as those are time limited. This was permanent and way more intrusive.
