@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.

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.

@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.

@Uromastryx yeah i actually quite like 50 as a rapper and as a human too. He seems like a decent guy in a pretty corrupt industry. This should be a fun watch never the less. Warrior was awsome. Im off to get some sticky ๐
@Rich33 its like a mash up of the most diverse actors/entertainers ever. Alan Ritchson as guile tho? That guy is huuuuge. Chun Li gets my vote tho. Got wo pump those thighs up tho ๐
@Uromastryx yeah i agree. Koji is a good martial artist and a pretty good actor. Imo he ahould have been cast a Kiryu in the Yakuza series. I heard they went with 50 as Balrog as Diddy wasnt available ๐
@Hylian-Likely that gave me a chuckle. Hoope your copy turns up soon. Its a fantastic game.
@thefourfoldroot1 it defenately takes some time to get going and you WILL be walking ALOT. It kinda feels a bit like MGSV in the way you move around but the terrain is tougher and you have to constantly consider the weight your carrying. Heavier stuff on top, the more you carry will make you less likely to be put off balance etc. Do you really need to take 2 assault rifles and a pistol on thr next mission adding to your carrying weight or leave some gear behing and bulk up on goodies and minerals you see out in the wild etc? I wouldnt have had the time to go through the first game so i just watched a 1.5 hr deep catch up.
As someone that didnt like the look of the first game (i thought it looked boring) i decided to go for this after hearing it moves at a better pace and theres more action and im loving it. Graphically it just looks rediculous, even on the base ps5. Im glad Kojima isnt pandering to the same old, same old and is making exactly what he wants to.
Complete opposite for me. I didnt go for the first one as i didnt like the sound of the "walking sim" style of gameplay but hearing people say the 2nd is more refined with more action i decided to go for it after watcing an hour and a half deep story catch up of the 1st game. Man is it good! Chapter 3 now and im loving it. Sure, to start with its slow and their IS alot of walking involved but its not like before you have access to transportation. Sitting at a 9/10 for me. Wished id got the first one when it came out. No time to play it now hence the deep catch up.
@AdamNovice looks like he practicing his wax on, wax off to me ๐
Those costumes tho ๐ฅ๐ฅ but AKI need to use less sun block. Maybe she could ask Cammy what she uses instead ๐
Didnt play the first, had no real interest but this looks insanely good. So much so that i went and watxhed a catch up video on youtube and even the story in the first game seemed really good. Confusing in a classic Kojima way but i wish i had given it a go back then. I fear if i try it now i wont ever get the 2nd started so another indepth catch up and i will grab the 2nd come payday.
Really wish i could get in to this game. Got to the "House" but it just wasnt gelling with me. Sounds silly but i found the combat a little too deep for my liking. Glad its selling well tho.
@LiamCroft dont want to read the reviews as to spoil anything but will it make sense to someone thsts never played the first game. I didnt ever get around to playing it and feel its too much of a time sink to start now. May be a youtube recap would do the trick?
After a few weeks gaming lull (my yearly "i really dont fancy playing anythin") i decided to upgrade to the switch OLED as opposed to being an early adopter of switch 2. Its got me gaming again. Metroid dread and Pokemon Arceus mainly.
This is how you treat your staff. We earnt over 200 mil last year and when the boss asked for ยฃ100 to take the staff out for a christmas drink he was told "no, its not in the budget" ๐ I like the old saying of "look after your staff and your staff will look after your company"
@Lowdefal the first one was so janky for the DC. I remember being about 14 and one of the lines a woman said to an approaching monster was "Dont come, dont come" gave me and my buddies a chuckle. Great game with the DC gun overall tho.
These games will always be useless without a lightgun. I miss playing Die hard 2 from the Die hard trilogy. Such a great lightgun game. Shame screens now days dont support the feature. I agree tho VR would be the perfect fit to release some of these games. Is sony dropped all the Time crisis games when the PSVR2 launched they would have printed money.
