@HammerKirby3 its a great gane with a great single player. Very tactical and rewards patience and a very slow approach. If you play it like 99% of any other FPS out there you will get your ass handed to you by the CPU.
Yeah @Northern_munkey i think GT7 had a specific T598 update. I didnt however try it out pre update so i couldn't compare before and after like you can. I do find the reccomended in game settings too strong tho. I think FFB is reccomended to sit on 6 but i find 4 more than enough unless i want to give my biceps a real workout. Its a shame the AI is still naff tho and they havnt implemented qualifying in to the game. For a game that claims to be "the real driving simulator" starting in last place and pplaying catch up isnt my idea of fair. Its far too easy on easy, easy on medium but make 1 mistake on hard and your starting your race again. It just feels like a strange way of doing things in this day and age.
@get2sammyb yeah id love world tour mode back. The music from Bisons stage set in the long grass is so amazing. Ive currantly got the PS1 version loaded on my snes mini just so i can expierience it.
Ready or not for me. Saying that ive purchased nothing else released this month. SF6, GT6,EA WRC and Ready or not are all ive really been playing as of late.
@Andee i think it would work out as expensive or more so to buy the characters individually (which you can do from inside the game) than buying the pass. Season 3 is ยฃ24.99 i believe and an individual character is about 350 fighter coins (purchasable in game) which is about ยฃ8. It works out cheaper to buy the pass and just take the extra goodies. I think you can buy an ultimate pass that offers alot more but thats like ยฃ40
Agree with others here Bad company 2 we fantastic as was BF3 although i really like 4 too so if 6 is a mix up of those were in for a treat. It will be great to play a good game in this series again. Its long overdue.
I just mentioned exactly what you said. I was fully expecting an excuse of some sort but they added added funds back to my PS account as i origionally purchased a reduced price gift card to pay for it. Pain in the neck tho as i added a ยฃ50 gift card to my wallet 2 weeks ago before even thinking about refunding Oblivion, so ive got ยฃ110 just sitting in there now ๐
That was a great trailer not a major spongebob fan but ive seen it a few times and this looked fun. Props to the Hoff tho. He loves giving a fun performance.
I wouldnt say battlefield is realistic as last nights long play just looked like pure chaos from what i watched but as far as keeping rediculous "celebrity" likeness out of it im all for it. As long as they dont add any pay to win mechanics in to the game and it aligns up to BF3 and 4, which it certainly looked to do, then i will probably get it. They can add all the other monetization they want, i dont buy it anyway. Ive always liked BF more than COD but tapped out after 4.
Looks good but all this swapping out stuff with 3 other characters is too complicated for my old man reactions. I will leave this to the pros i think. Couldnt even get in to MvsC.
Wont bother with the beta. Will just wait for the release and reviews/performance to drop. It looked a little too frantic for my liking during the live stream. Not many players were alive after 20 seconds of swapping to their screens.
This is awsome news. Such an amazing game but i was worried that the "sim" nature of it would turn alot of folk off. Its the type of tactical shooter ive been waiting years for. Congrats to the team for bringing over such a good game in a playable state from day 1.
Iminterested to see if they can bring back the battlefield of old. Bad company 1 and 2 and BF3 and 4 were all outstanding but everything since then has been very lack luster imo. If they can nail this game and take on board fan feedback i really think they can turn things around and hopefully challenge the also mediocre COD.
@Rich33 well i have gone through their online chat support and the case has been forwarded. I just need to wait up to 5 days for a response. Tried to get me to rebuild my database to sort the issue out but im not doing that when its clearly a software optimisation issue.
@ErrantRob doubt it, im crap ๐. Its still bloody hard with a wheel but its super fun and so much more precise. Even with a cheaper wheel like the T300rs or logitech g29 its going to add alot more to your game but these T598s are just a step ahead. @Northern_munkey isnt keen on the feel of GT7 but i absolutely love it. 5 series race tonight and after i thought my arms were going to fall off ๐ messed up aswell on the last track and came 2nd so ive got to do it all again tomorrow ๐คฌ
Like i put over on Nintendo life, i always found the 2D MK games hard as nails on the standard settings. Any other 2D fighters i was competent at but MK used to kick my ass. Will still get it if the price is right tho.
Yeah this does look sleek as hell. Interested to know if they are using premium components. Sanwa, Hayabusa, semitsu etc. Ive got the 8bitdo arcade stick for the switch and swapped the buttons for micro switch sanwas and an hexagonal gateway and sanwa stick and it feels lovely. Shame the blueprint for the 8bitdo stick is on the smaller side and a bit tall. Makes it a bit uncomfortable on the wrists but for light, offline play its cheap and does the job very well.
Is battle royale where the map zone shrinks? Ive had a couple of rounds of Fortnite where this happened and i didnt mind it. I prefer a standard death count mp mode tho. To be honest im more of a single player loner really but did enjoy BF 3 and 4 multiplayer.
@Northern_munkey it brought back memories of when my dog chewed our brand new table legs. I cant beat you on WRC anyway, thats something ive come to terms with ๐
This weekend i will be playing some more of the fantastic Ready or not and some Pikmin 4 on the switch with a little EA WRC and maybe some GT7 on the wheel. A nice bike ride with the wife and Fantastic 4 at the cinema. Have a good one.
@pharos_haven its probarbly because people got it thinking it plays like cod and it certainly doesnt. Dont check rooms before breaching, your dead. Dont check your corners, your dead. Dont flash/smoke rooms. Your dead. You have to play it like its the real deal.
@Deljo @KillerBoy please dont let that ruin the game for you. Me and my buddy are playing this atm both in single player and once you get your head around the command wheel its fu**ing amazing. There is plenty of single player content in this game. More so than nearly any fps i can think of. You wont be breezing through levels like in call of duty thats for sure, especially trying for S rank when you cant kill anyone. We go in to work every day and talk about the missions, tactics etc.
@Flaming_Kaiser a thing like what? Sorry its been a while since ive seen this thread ๐ like you tho, ive never had an overheating issue with my PS5. Even in the 30c weather we've recently had here in the UK.
Bad that the game is shutting down but it was a bag of sh*t anyway. I believe that Slightly Mad were told to make the game more "approachable" to the "casual" gamer and in the process completely lost the identity that made PC 1 and 2 such great games. Shame.
@DaveTheRave also agree. Its a great incentive to get people to buy digital and even transition them on to digital full time. Its a daft move removing it really and the fact that it wasnt on the console is beyond me.
@Propaperpusher no, you cant run. You can lower your weapon to move slightly faster but you cant run and nor do you need to. You have to change your way of thinking from nearly every other FPS and once it clicks it will click. Take it slow, use your squad check your doors and corners etc. Me and my mate couldn't believe how slow it was to begin with then we got our heads around it and now were loving it.
As long as its akin to something like Advanced warfighter 2 and not the later more action orientated games then im in. Having some fun with Ready or not at the moment.
@Mostik sorry its taken me half the day to get back to you. Its very good. Once you get used to the controls and issuing orders etc its very tense. AI for the most part is pretty good and does what its told. I love it.
I will be playing the fantastic Ready or not on PS5. Loving the slow pace tactical side to this game alot. Theres alot to learn and when things go wrong its generally down to your lack of preparation or awareness. I will also be playing some GT7, Dirt 2.0 and maybe some F1 2025 on my new Thrustmaster T598 wheel. To lighten the mood i may try and get some Pikmin 4 in on the switch if time permits. Happy gaming.
@Romans12 its not that bad buddy. I did the 1st mission solo with a raknk of A+ on my first go. Its just one of those games that rewards a bit of thinking as opposed to opening a door and just firing off rounds. Ordering your team to flash and clear a room is your friend ๐
