My wife started it about a week ago and was swearing more than I've ever seen her but only due to learning the combat but now she's addicted to it and loves it too bits. It looks beautiful but I'm not going to play it as I've not the time plus I've a cupboard full of sandbox and Bethesda titles which I've never got past 30% completion . Not making same mistake this generation.
@iDangerMouse_ Thanks Danger ,yea I'm going to have to get one. Keep having to delete stuff that I don't want too , last week was Plants v Zombies and Planetside 2 which I've never even played yet but would've one day ! The wife's even said we need one so nothing stopping me now !
Tried it last night for about an hour before reading any reviews and it just didn't click for me, fair review and score.
When you've only got 500gb HDD you simply can't afford to keep game like this on it. Looking at 2tb's but how long before that's full ?
I like it how it is but would like one thing ,when turning off the ps4 using the controller I press the PS button but the shutdown option is in a secondary option ,first world pain an' all that but I'm sure this wasn't originally the case on earlier firmware.
Going to start Rainbow Six Siege tomorrow when I get back from Ireland, read and heard so many great things so can't wait to get stuck in and probably get killed a lot. The wife started the Witcher and is an hour or so in so there might be a bit of a fight for the controller unfortunately 🙄
Star Wars Battlefront for me , had so many great Battlefield type moments in multiplayer and still learning all the maps as my gaming time is limited. Had it since day one and am only lvl 20 so a lot lot more to work towards still. The free Jakku map and new mode where absolutely fantastic and I wasn't expecting to get more than I'd actually originally paid for. Not sure why such a furore over the season pass as if I don't want it I won't buy it .
You've made me want DQH also now , its even on HUKD website for £17.99 new and delivered. Got Rainbow Six Siege to sink my teeth into now but only if I can get the wife of the Witcher ( the game ! )
Battlefront is keeping me occupied there's just so many great moments that the multiplayer throws up , love the way we where given a free map this week and the new mode is fantastic. Picked up all the BF4 map packs last week as they where half price so hope to have time to try them out and perhaps game of throne part 6.
Like most I've also never used it and never look at others screenshots. Just not interested and doubt anybody could care about what I'm doing. It's like these morons who Instagram everything or take photos of their dinner.
@sradmatt completely agree with you there , cut all that stupid stuff and give us old style McRae . Driveclub just let's you jump right in there and I love it for that.
Think I'll pick up Rainbow Siege but certainly not at those prices ! I'll get it for about 28-31 quid in a few weeks if not sooner. Enjoyed beta , was fun playing on mics and seemed to be mainly adults playing.
Mainly the quite fantastic Battlefront , but just downloaded and tried the Rainbow beta which despite having virtually no idea what I was supposed to be doing really enjoyed. There was a Frenchman shouting at us down headset who seemed very annoyed with us but was highest ranked ! Got only know what he was saying at us noobs.
Great review , this game is perfect for me to dip in and out of for half hour blasts as my gaming time is very limited (spend more time reading about it than actually doing it) . Love the huge battles and simple gameplay , was a great decision not to waste time and resources on boring single player campaign and its really paid off. Have got about 4 hours game time on it now in a week so lots more to do and explore with existing levels but I read somewhere we are getting a free map based on Jakku which is really exciting as they don't owe anybody anything and often get called greedy etc . Nobody forced me to buy the game or said I have to buy a season pass , I knew what I was getting before I purchased the game and in actual fact its exceeded my expectations.
Im loving it so far , its such a positive thing that they haven't added a stupid tacked on single player campaign like in Battlefield and just concentrated on making a fantastic multiplayer experience. Hopefully more developers of online fps games will copy their visionary thinking , wonderful game.
I've played it all day and not a single hitch , Push Square I feel has been a little overly negative with its stories regards Battlefront. Just an observation , kind of felt like Driveclub all over again ,its kind of cool to hate on it.
Great news ,keep em coming. I'll buy anything Dice are involved with. Just hope one day they return Battlefield to its original WW2 roots even if just for one year.
Can't wait to play this tomorrow , haven't got time for boring games like Fallout ,Skyrim,Bloodborne etc do this quest do that quest build armour , ride a horse ,throw a dwarf ,fall in love with a digitised maiden and argue with others about who's the hottest etc , I want something I can dip in and out of for 30 mins because that's generally what my life allows .The reviewers panned Driveclub also , I loved that game from day one. Each to his own ,each to his own , I'll make my own mind up.
Haven't got time for my own games never mind free ones ,I'd like maybe something like 3 free themes or a bit of DLC of our own choice something like that or maybe 5 quid to spend in the PSN store.
I miss the demos , hardly ever get any these days. I might enjoy Marvel puzzle quest but I know nothing about it , won't pay 12 quid on a whim and by the time I've typed this I'll probably have forgotten I even had a flicker of interest for it.
I hope the Hardline rumour is true , I own every battlefield since 1942 and Hardline is the first that just didn't appeal but for free I'd give it s blast for at least a few hours unlike a lot of the Indies.
Destiny (hit lvl 16 today ),PES 16 a little bit of Rocket League and as I type the wife is playing Everybody's gone to the Rapture which we got in the Halloween sale. She was brought up in Shropshire and says it's very accurate.
Everyone in Europe was playing Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy ,it really was a case almost of Mario who...? My avatar is 'THE' 80s gaming icon in Europe followed probably by an egg called Dizzy .
@Boerewors Pretty much all I'm playing atm too. Still haven't won a single online game yet , only been playing MyClub which is really addictive but think I'm doing something wrong as I've never enough money and still got a crap team! Been away from footy games since Fifa 09 and really enjoying this one.
PES 16 , really enjoying it . My first football game since Fifa 09 , have got all correct kits and team names etc installed. Really enjoying the MyClub mode , I'm hopeless online and so far have won only one game due to a player quitting when he was winning 3-0 ! Will also be playing the excellent Battlefront beta and the wife is going to be back on Project Cars and Assassins Creed Unity.
I quite enjoyed it , wasn't sure that I would like lack of ADS but it didn't seem to matter. Im a big fan of Battlefield and was born in the 70s so this is right up my street ,gone from a possible to a must buy. Don't buy many games day 1 but this will be one , I'd love the Witcher ,Bloodborne ,Fallout 4 but I'm not touching those type of games this generation. Just haven't the time to invest in them ,I've a cupboard full of sandbox ps3 games hardly touched.
Edit- I think I might slowly be becoming a casual gamer. .....arrrgh
Glad all that's useful to you guys , personally won't use any of those features. Use the PS4 everyday and have never thought any one could care less about seeing my screenshots or clips on YT and Twitter in fact I know that friends wouldn't give 2 hoots. Guess it's more useful for you gaming journos and people with YT channels .
Had this for months , finally started it last night. Good fun so far. Struggling for HDD space though. Warframes going to have to bite the bullet , never did get a chance to give it a whirl.
