I’m honestly surprised by the grade of 7, I would at least give it an 8 1/2 due to all the improvements and added content. I don’t feel the fact that forsaken requires the previous two expansions should count towards the final review score being d1 and d2 have both required all expansions. it’s not specifically just a forsaken expansion requirement, it’s destiny in general and this review is for the expansion.
The seller could have gotten the game as a present, didn’t want it and put it up for sale, I did the same thing once. It could have been many things. If a game is factory sealed then it is new. Gamestop sells opened display games as new, companies should go after them too I suppose.
I loved my psp and vita. the expensive memory cards and the complete lack of games on store shelves doomed them. I think a handheld like the switch that plays PS4 games on the go would be the best option as opposed to exclusive games.
The endgame content added in the dlc was good and I really like mars as a new location but the campaign was a major letdown. It felt incomplete and released anyways by writers who never played destiny. CoO had a shallow but complete story with little end game content, warmind has content but no story. Why can’t bungie do both?
@Derpie1 I said the PS4 won’t sell “continuously” better due to it not being a handheld. mhw was a temporary boost due to the game being popular over there and then the figures dropped again.
Most Japanese people love handhelds, it fits their lifestyle better than a console, I’m sure everyone here knows this already. there’s no way for Sony to get continuous sales figures as high as the switch except by releasing a new handheld. These sales charts don’t mean anything other than a reminder of that fact.
@munkondi I agree about his kid. Also am I the only one who is confused about their personality? Atreus grows up in this time period with a father like Kratos and they act like a normal modern kid?? It clashes with the rest of the game imo. This is god of war, not the last of us.
I wish the Palico set had a longer timeframe. When I purchased the game I had no idea these exclusives were for a limited time only. I got the game one day before the deadline so I missed out.
I would have purchased this being I only had the base game but I hated the ending so much that I don’t care about the dlc nor will I be buying this version. (obligatory disclaimer: I know some people liked the ending and I respect that opinion but honestly I play video games to forget about dreary real life, I don’t want that as the reward for putting hours of my time into a game. I know one of the dlcs gave an alternative version of the ending but it was still crap).
I never had a problem with eververse until the dawning. You can’t even break down what you do get for free to get brightdust, that’s taking it too far. To me it’s not so much complaining about eververse it’s to send a message to all gaming devs/publishers out there that this needs to stop in full price games because it’s slowly starting to become the norm and get worse.
Can we please get a dlc that adds to or alters the wtf of an ending of this game? These dlcs are great but I still know how it all ends and it takes away from my enjoyment of them. Does anyone else agree?
@Starbuster00 thank you for answering my question. I have to say that this is the first beta I’ve played that resets on closing the app but I’m looking forward to tomorrow regardless
Can someone clarify this disclaimer that is in the beta notes for me?
“Data will not be saved. Once the application is closed, your character's name, appearance, equipment, and all other settings will be reset to default.”
Does this mean that every time I close the beta app to play something else I will lose my settings or does that mean when the beta ends I lose my settings? I hope it the latter.
It’s so nice to see such a big effort to bring change to publisher greed. It’s a shame it’s only being done because of the popularity of Star Wars but hopefully it will help scare other companies into not pulling this crap anymore with our games.
EA is terrible as always, I really hope many people just stop buying their games. On a side note, whatever happened to a $60 game just being a $60 game?! You have micro transactions to unlock content you paid $60 for already or they want you to pay an extra $25+ for season pass dlc that expands on the story. Its like paying for a book with some pages missing and the bookstore wants more money for those so you get the complete story. I just want to be able to buy a AAA game again that doesn’t lock me out of anything for $60.
Are any of these dlcs going to improve on the ending? No matter what they release and how much I enjoyed the game until 2/3rds in I’m not interested unless it does that.
I am in the unpopular opinion that this was a great game, definitely better than integrity and faithlessness. I am happy that it’s coming out on PS4 for others to enjoy but I am not one to play a game twice so I’m most likely going to pass.
@get2sammyb I’ve been posting about the other EA messes FIFA and NFS for the last two weeks, I’m so glad there is news for at least one, hopefully with all the bad press FIFA will come next.
@Big_Steve_74 I hope you enjoy the game and that EA makes it better for everyone that wants to enjoy it as well. I’m not a FPS pro either, I just try to have fun and do my best.
It’s a trap. Activision delayed their micro transactions for WW2 while they fix the game issues and it was commended, no surprise as EA and Activision copy each other all the time. I still am very wary that EA will keep its promise to adjust the game. I feel that this is just a ploy to get people to buy the game tomorrow and the only purpose of this delay is to give people a head start to advance in the game before the people who buy micro transactions arrive.
Great, so now it’ll just be easier for players to get an op hero into the match. How about EA just making it easier for people to level up their characters and just play the the game in general without loot boxes.
I’m so glad to read a review by someone who wasn’t paid off by Activision. Gamespot and Ign didn’t touch on some of the games issues and then sugar coated the issues they did report on.
The tech issues are a disgrace. I absolutely agree with you about the problems with the maps having too many paths and horrible spawns, and lastly the games overall catering to snipers. It’s not a horrible game at all but there were poor choices made to what could have been a much better game and a solid launch.
I tried bo3 for a few months, what’s fun about playing a game with people quick scoping, spawn trapping, camping, and flying around in the air like a dandelion? Multiplayer shooters just aren’t for me, it’s a nice idea in theory but the players ruin it and the devs encourage them to.
How about a membership option that consists of no free games or game discounts and just access to multiplayer for $30 a year? that would make plus attractive to many more people.
They must have been desperate to do this. It’s a great idea I have to say. the used games will be in crappier condition then they already are because of this though.
The gaming industry is going down the crapper due to quick cash greed. I’m getting concerned about the future of single player campaigns and the increased paywalls behind multiplayer’s. People need to stop paying for this junk or it’s never going to stop.
It’s battlefield one reskinned with Star Wars so that might please some people. I figured this would be the case from previous videos I watched but I was trying to keep positive. I liked the previous battlefront game better and will be passing on this unfortunately, but to those who love it enjoy!
