@rastamadeus Titanfall isnt "****" you really dont know much do you? I doubt You've even played it. Every game is garbage according to you, especially the ones you've never played. You're as transparent as a glass of water.
@voodoo341 strangely MS free xbox1 games are strike suit zero and crimson dragon, which are hardly classics granted. But are still games that of a built for next gen.
@get2sammyb yeah i know m8, i will still give them both a whirl. I guess any games after that Russian bloggers promise of octodad and the swapper was always gonna dissapoint........ Where the schmuck is secret ponchos!!!!!!!!
Alas my powerhouse ps4, is still getting free plus games that have the graphical fidelity and gameplay mechanics, of games i played on my Atari st or Amiga......._back in the days before i had pubic hair!!
@rastamadeus well thank you captain obvious!! Of course its about money, thats why i said this------> "THE DEAL TO LET MS BUY"!!! I never said they did it for the feckin fun of it , Now did I.
Also do you realise the amount of money it wouldve took MS to secure titanfall, taking into account the lost projected sales from ps3/ps4 versions. EA and respawn have admitted they took a loss by having titanfall on pc xbox only(even with the disgusting amount of cash MS gave them) they lost alot of money,. But that didnt stop them, signing a deal with MS in the first place did it?.
EA favour microsoft in virtually every way!!, the deal to let ms buy exclusivity of titanfall, when they published the game. The deal to offer the uber popular FIFA14 as a free digital download for XBOX1 with select console bundles. Elxclusive FUT content also ONLY on xbox!! And now THIS!!! Its no wonder sony are not keen on the idea.
EA "We do not favour microsoft, over other platforms" that statement simply reeks.
They should have kept the campaign offline imo, that way it would have been a more personal, story driven , cinematic experience. Instead of "this mission ends in 20 seconds"
The campaign will be back n forth between planets, with alot of revisting and bactracking involved. Its obvious that to have access to those parts of old russia that have fallen ( that you cant damage and can one shot kill you), They're lvl20 or even????
You will have to go back to old russia armoured up to the eyeballs!! And have an attack lvl 350 gun.To face them. I can see alot of backtracking in this game!!!!
I wonder if that female huntress from the cut scene, will fight along side you in some story missions? If so how would they implement that with other players often being in the space as you, during the story missions?
Hey shogunrok, great a read, very evenly balanaced article. I have concerns mainly due to fact the story missions, seem to be exactly the same objectively as what you do in exploration mode random public events or even the solitary strike mission.
Harsh to judge on a beta though like you said, I just hope it has a compelling story and more varied enemy AI, in the final game. I guess the main thing that struck me, is, that after playing with friends in a strike team and then playing solo in the story missions, the latter feels quite dull in comparison .
I dunno halo gameplay was far more compelling than what destinys shown so far. I cant see bungie changing the style or direction of the story mode now. 5 missions so far? All identical in gameplay style and objectives. Halo also had a much stronger narrative than destinys displayed so far.
@Reverandjames hey rev, yeah i agree the moon looks cool, but Didn't you find the mission to be a carbon copy of the four missions on old russia? In the sense that u can explore the odd cave, but essentialy the missions are just about killing large groups of fallen n hive who have bad AI and then deploying your ghost to decipher stuff or open doors ?
@Azikira as far as i know , playing the beta 10pm tonight gives you a emblem probably for that moon mission or something equally as tedious like having new dance new dance moves. Maybe its something that carries over to the full game.
WOW just played the moon mission it has pikes!! , the story missions I've played so far are unbelievably bloody DULL!!!
This mission on the moon was just the same as the ones on Old Russia !! Eg kill waves of the fallen and hive (or Should that be the covenant and the flood) and then deploy your ghost into a console!!
This is very uninspired game design, the story missions are bland. its like " kill 400 fallen and hive and then press square"
Strike mission was great at first!! Bored me witless the second time though, the boss fight are rather dull and long winded.
Also whats with every weapon type, looking aesthetically identical? My "marshall" auto rifle looks exactly the same as someone else's "sahara bk426 deluxe" except the scopes are different!!!
And as for the scout rifles ? They're all the bloody same gun to the human eye, just with different scopes!!
For christ sake bungie vary your weapon models!!! They're getting 20 different gun types outta one design in destiny!!
I mean the attack level 350 guns that you cant purchase yet in the tower, are all identical to the guns ive gotnow you know!!! Except They're painted BLOODY ORANGE!!!!!!
I have no problem whatsoever, with driveclub being locked at 30fps. It runs smooth as silk from what ive seen. It is also the best looking racer ive seen ........by a comfortable margin
@Mrskinner your concerns are actually very valid. If in the full game when we get to explore moon,mars,venus etc . It remains the same mopping up groups of enemies to grab a loot chest or take down a wizard. Then i will be very dissapointed.
The game is still very good at what it does, but.......Goin by the beta the game seriously lacks gameplay variation
The pvp dissapoints me (albeit in the one capture mode We've seen so far) i genuinely worry about the games balance for the final release. Pvp runs too fast when youre face to face with an opponent especially, its all abit cod paced. whereas bungies former halo was like a chess match..
The fact a warlock or a tiitan can use their super 's in a enclosed space without needing to leap is also a bit naff!!. Pvp is quite good dont get me wrong but i reckon the strike/story co op will be the highlight for destiny EASILY.
@Reverend_Skeeve cheers for the info skeeve. Do you know if these 57 guns are always in the same location or is it random? I feel like ive searched every nook n cranny of the map!
Hey chaps how do i get my hands on a 60+ attack auto rifle? I haved looted and explored to death, but the only weapons I've found are the same as the ones i purchased in the tower!! And how come only some guns give you the options to upgrade them?
@get2sammyb Or perhaps Different review systems LOL. I think some people were blinded by the fact that disgustingly mediocre Entwined, was bizarrely championed by sony at the beginning of their E3 press conference !
Yeah but 9 was generous m8!! Entwined was and a simplistic twin analog stick only controlled game. And it still had major control issues!! Im not saying IGN are a gaming bible or anything. But Entwined only scored 6/10 on that site calling it "okay"
I cant believe Entwined scored 9/10 on push square!! "On the cusp of being a masterpiece" the review said., Its bloody poo!! 60 percent on Metacritic to boot!!!
Also anyone else reach the maximum weekly crucible score of 100 points? I did but, I went back to the tower and there doesn't seem to be a reward for doing so, I think they require level 9plus. Or have i missed something?
Anybody was who hasn't played the original oddworld or players who are revisiting a gorgeous looking remade classic from yester-year are gonna be delighted with this game.
The 2D Oddworlds are still the best platform/puzzle games I've ever played, cant wait for this, unbelievably great game.
I wish they included assassinations in destiny. I mean melee-ing is fine an all. But it would be cool if for instance if it switched to 3rd person(like it does for your super charged) when playing as a hunter to slit someones throat with ur knife, Fry someones brain as a Warlock or snap a players neck when using the titan.
assassinations/executions would be welcomed in this game!!
@Squiggle55 i meant on normal difficulty, same goes for every game playing through on harder difficulty always takes longer. You can still beat resoguns campaign in under a hour. On mid difficulty. If you played through KZSF on hard it would probably take you 15 hours plus!!
Oh an btw Im not disputing the fact, that resogun is a great game. because it is.....I just dont think its the best experience you can have on ps4.
@get2sammyb Well thats your opinion sammy, and you're quite entitled to it. If you're comparing it to other PS4 exclusives, then I personally got far more enjoyment from infamous ss and Killzone sf. If you strip away resoguns fancy voxel efffects, then it is just a rock solid twin-stick shooter (albeit a very good one), that you could conceivably play on your phone/i-pad. You can also beat evey stage in under an hour!!
@ToOGoodOfAPlaya Yeah good point about the MP, criminally underated. It was perfecly balanced, and very enjoyable. Alot of people dismiss the MP component in the TLOU. Which is a shame, because It's very,very good....
Shenmue 1 and 2 are two of the best games I've ever played, they were way before their time. SM2 ended on such a cliffhanger aswell, (with that swine Lan di escaping on the helicopter, just as you thought you were about to fight him) which has made the age-long wait for a sequel even more unbearable.
I remember thinking at the time, how i wanted to cut Lan Di’s balls off and fry them in garlic as he watched.
Id give valiant hearts a 6/10 7/10 tops. I loved its art style and narrative, however the gameplay is overly simplistic imo. Its a game that a 6 year old Wouldn't find taxing! (for the most part)
Towefall is a HUGE missed opportunity !! Never mind its woeful 8 bit graphics why did they not include online mp? The game is branded as a 'couch' mp game. There aint NO way im spending $150 extra on DS4 controllers, just to have mp fun. And as for strider? The gameplay /enviroments are very basic and dull imo. Strider is a one button masher plop fest. I loved the original (all them Mega Drive years ago) but the remake is shiiit. Its a game that should have stayed in the past.
@Demi_God LOL "tired of the mgs series " ...... it has been 7 YEARS since MGS4!!!!!! Its not like kojima pumps out a MGS game every year u know!! 7 years between games in a series hardly constitutes as game overkill!! assassins creed for eg, gets a game every year!!
@Punished_Boss spot on. The phantom pain will be without question the best ps4 game next year even though uncharted 4 will run it close. Metal gear deserves to be in the the top 5, without a doubt. BTW ben... You speak like David cameron. In the sense that you have a accentless voice.
