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
@Nightcrawler71 @Overmind its good once you get your head around the controls. I had to run through the tutorial a couple of times to before it clicked.
Its a bit like Rainbow 6 vegas but with a deeper combat system, alot slower pace and with more confined maps. Your not working your way across a map from point A to B but clearing out an apartment block, Gas station etc binding civs and perps to secure the area with the aim of non lethal force, although you can shoot anyone but it effects your final evaluation. Its very slow too. You move at a snails pace, as you would expect a swat team to do so. No running and sliding behind cover like an Action man etc. Team AI for the most part seem solid and do what you tell them to do. Im enjoying it alot. Its the kind of game that will really come alive with a group of friends that work together as opposed to the ๐คกs i jumped in to an online match with that all split up and subsequently got themselves killed one by one ๐ its fun solo tho.
@RainbowGazelle it would appear not. Got to be careful of this cotton wool wrapped society we live in these days where anyone and everyone will take offence to anything.
I will take a look in to heat. Enjoying GT7 with the wheel alot tho. Had a great 10 lap race last night until i stuffed it in to a wall on lap 10 and everyone went flying past me. Turned it off in a huff after that ๐
After i get back from the cinema later i will be trying to reclaim my trophy from @Northern_munkey I wasnt impressed when i received photographic evidence of him destroying my time on Dirt 2.0 after id worked hard to knock 5 seconds off his. Its ON!! ๐
@RZ-Atom sad but facts. Some gems id like to see even get a remaster but i just dont think they deem them worth while for the loss or small return on them.
@Dodoo if @Northern_munkey had bought it for me i would say he was a good friend ๐. Nah, thy took time out of his evening to sit there and help me go through the wheel settings. Hes right tho, i do thank him. Awsome bit of kit.
@Propaperpusher one thing you will learn about @Czar_Khastik as hinted by handle is that everything he says is purposefully sarcastic and we love him for it.
Came here to see how long it would take for the "Druckmann is awful" comments to start and i wasnt disappointed. From someone(s) that probably never ever done anything half as talented in their life as Druckmann has... on more than one occasion. Some people need a good reality check ๐
@ThroughTheIris56 i remember when my parents got me starwing for the snes when i was a kid when we went to visit friends for a week. I spent the entire week reading that manual and the back of the box. I also miss instruction manuals but then im 42 and of the age when they were in every game.
Lets hope Ready or not will scratch the itch for the tactical shooter fans out there. Its out in 13 days time!! It looks bloody awsome and is supposed to be amazing on PC so im hoping i will finally get a ahooter that i. Interested in alont the lines of the origional Rainbow six games.
