I tried playing Fifa 21 but defending is non-existent. Genuinely one of the worst games I’ve ever had the misfortune of playing. Outside of the matches is an Ultimate Team with outright criminal practices, inside the matches is a soulless fun vacuum, where defenders inexplicably sit at your halfway line outside of your control which means the opposition hit a long through ball EVERY SINGLE TIME. It’s beyond awful, FIFA games on PS1 are more playable and anyone who tries to insist that the gameplay is good is outright lying. There are no redeeming factors as any fun to even be had playing with the legends is locked behind a paywall. You know what, yeah. This is the worst game I’ve ever played. For a recreation of football, it plays nothing like football for a start. It’s build around extorting money. It’s a car crash. Avoid avoid avoid.
Had my first proper sesh on Dying Light today (I’ve previously put in an hour or two’s worth of play time across three afternoons)... probably played around 10 or 11 hours today and it really is a top quality game. The controls can take a bit of getting used to, as parkour is a major gameplay element but it becomes quite comfortable after a while. Looks great considering how early on in the generation it was made too.
@RogerRoger I’ve always gone between both FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer over the years but I hadn’t realised things had gotten this bad with FIFA in the previous few years. PES might not have the licenses or a particularly sophisticated Ultimate Team mode but the actual games are fun. EA have forgotten that the game part should be the matches, not the spreadsheet management of the menu navigation.
I will add though that there was an update today that seems to fix a few of my issues with the gameplay. I’ll give it one more go but I’m not confident.
@RogerRoger I actually got FIFA for free which is why I’m playing it as I normally do get the latest PES, which is taking a break of sorts this year to focus on a next-gen overhaul. I can’t really complain about getting my money’s worth when I didn’t spend anything but the constant attempts to get me to spend extra is rather annoying!
Been playing Arkham Knight pretty steadily the past few weeks. Got it from ps+ a while ago and had time for it now. It's been awesome! Kinda wish i played the previous game to see the story but there's only so much time.
@Onigumo I really enjoyed Prey. I got strong Bioshock vibes from it. There can be a far bit of backtracking, and the load times are pretty bad, but I had fun with it.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Have you played any of Death Stranding? I'm playing that at the moment and thoroughly enjoying it, I just completed order no.7 and am on to order no.8 . Apparently, @Th3solution ,you get the motorcycle at the end of order no.9 ,or at least access to it but you have to set it up yourself, so I'm really looking forward to using it to get to Port Knot City that way.
"Even in the face of death, the samurai stands unwavering, for honour is a blade sharper than steel".
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Even though the Obatarian is a gold hostess, I always felt a bit sorry for the clients whenever I paired them up with her. She does do surprisingly well at it though.
And I agree with your sentiment on the Balan Wonderworld demo. I did try out the other two levels, and they're only marginally better.
The lack of a health system means that there's no tension to fights. But yet, it's also tedious to take damage, since you lose your current outfit. So that means trekking back to get another one.
And due to the simple one button controls, it never excels as a platformer either. Instead, the only vaguely interesting part is making sure you have the correct outfit to collect the secret collectable.
It's a shame, I was very excited for this when I first saw the reveal trailer.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy haha yeah, the Obatarian really makes me laugh for some reason. Libido probably is a bit one note but I just can't get enough of that dance 😂. I did majimas shakedown sidequests in the end but didn't get around to Kiryu's.
I finished the story last night (this morning?). I think I did 46/60 kiryu sidequests and 36/40 majima sidequests maybe. My save was 107 hours before the last mission so I guess about 108/109 for the final save.
I think I am a total convert now though. In 107 hours I went from "meh" to "I can't wait to play Kiwami". I actually ended up loving Kuze in the end. I don't know why. I think all of the old boys in it have really interesting looks and voices which make them quite fascinating to watch once you get into it, people like Kuze, Awano, Shibusawa, Sagawa and Lee. Sera too, they must have based his look on Ken Watanabe. They didn't sound a like but I still looked up to see whether he played him because they looked so similar.
But yeah, wicked game and I'm glad I played it!
Edit: I should also add that I am obsessed with the music in this game especially (and surprisingly to myself) the song that plays in the cabaret club dress up bit. It just sounds like an old 90s/00s pop song but I really like it. I don't hear much of it though because Im only looking at the stats as I flick through the menus
About 10 hours in to Days Gone now, it started really slow and the Bike Riding took a little bit getting use to, not as fluid as the likes of GTA.
Starting to enjoy it now it's opened up a lot more and given you the freedom to sort of explore the world and play as you want. I feel as though there is a lot to do in this game though to get anything moving, how long roughly did it take to complete the game for any one who finished it?
@MaulTsir as you upgrade your bike, it starts to handle a lot better... as does the fuel tank last a lot longer. You'll also notice that the shooting mechanics tighten a lot as you skill-up there and it starts to 'feel' a lot more playable.
@Thrillho haha well it was only the tough ones, Mr shakedown for kiryu, the pocket circuit fighter kids (I still did the friendship with the guy so I could claim his building) and the dancing ones I didn't do. I may have missed a couple of the dating ones, I got two of the "girlfriend's" and I met a predator, an "ugly" person, someone who didn't turn up and somebody else. I think I'm done with the game though now, I've got too many games I'm planning to play next so I want to get a move on!
