@Northern_munkey I loved Skyrim, very much in part because I felt there was an improvement on the combat/animation over Oblivion. I gave Oblivion a couple of hours but the skating around movement, and swinging the sword like a drunken man/woman just grated too much for me. As long as it is at least Skyrim level improved ( and it should be ) then Oblivion should be a blast to play for me. Really looking forward to it. 👍🏻
Gonna sound like a bit of a moaner, but as much as I love Helldivers 2 I'm not particularly motivated to fight the bots so soon after the last bot mo. Think they should have introduced new bug types and vehicles etc, then after a week or two bring the bots back. Still the game is great and moan over.
@NinjaNicky when you complete a mission you'll see a green tick on the ship map. The immediate mission/s beside your completed one need to be selected and done.
I like Stylosa's giddy enthusiasm, but in truth you have to work at using different weapons that suit you the individual I reckon. The amount of different Youtubers that think this weapon or that is better is varied. There's defo depth with loadouts considering fire modes, and strategy depending on teamwork or going solo etc.
@Northern_munkey ... don't be modest munkey ... you did complete an operation on extreme difficulty. It was on suicide we got our behinds handed to us.
It deserves the success due to just having good old fun core gameplay, and dropping in for a max 40 mins mission helps those with time restraints without fomo as well.
Destiny 1, FIFA Pro Clubs and now Helldivers 2 are the only online games I've really gotten into as it's kinda good old fashioned fun. Please do add me if you are looking a squadmate - HotstuffFred
Good fun game back in the day, along with XIII and Prince of Persia - Sands of Time. Ubisoft gets plenty of stick but they produced these three around the same time and nobody bought them ... can 'almost' understand their cynical business strategy that followed later.
Would defo be interested in seeing what Generation Zero is like, especially at this point. Concept doesn't make a good game in itself of course, but I've always been curious about Generation Zero and maybe hook up with some folks.
AC3 gets a lot of flack but I personally enjoyed it as much as any in the series. Good choice of period and looked great, with the homestead being a nice task building side thing.
Considering they've probably made more money than the Beatles, not having staff to work on Red Dead is a poor show. I always felt their efforts were half hearted with the online mode, and yes I too also got fed up with GTA5 several years back. Not having Liars Dice in RDR 2 was a shame as well.
For their premium subscription service they maybe should consider adding whatever Sony owned movie and TV shows to it ... a kinda PlayStation and Netflix rolled into one service.
Defo one thing they should change is to make the ending more memorable and challenging. If folk are actually up for multiplayer gaming from time to time please do add me ... HotstuffFred
Konami musn't be that costly to purchase nowadays. Think it would be great if we get the magic of International Superstar Soccer rebooted ( every two years release with a free update inbetween ideally imo ) with Sony applying much needed pressure on FIFA regarding licenses. Castlevania can do with a big budget new release, and Bluepoint can take care of a MGS remake.
I am no fanboy of any big company whatsoever, but I have to say what have Microsoft really achieved in 20 odd years in the videogame world? Decent success with the 360 ( which I owned ) and a handfull of franchises and that's pretty much it from what I see. It seems just a classic case of trying to buy up everything for success, which I actually feel won't work as for eg surely soon enough folk will start to get bored with CoD.

Anyone wish to hook up for Helldivers 2 atm? ... doing ok with strangers but it's not as much fun.
Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Helldivers 2 Is Unstoppable, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Settles for Second
@Professor_Niggle if they keep adding new and fun stuff to it, as well as the much earlier release date then it should have legs.
Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Helldivers 2 Is Unstoppable, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Settles for Second
It's gonna do what Hogwarts Legacy did last year and become the surprise best selling game of the year.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Helldivers 2 Bucks Industry Trend with Rising Weekly Sales
@knowles2 It's already happening ... turning off crossplay may help, but maybe that's stereotyping PC players on my part.
