Re: Poll: What Do You Think of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4?

I'm curious as to how they plan on justifying the normal price tag without including a single player campaign. I'm not seeing a wealth of extra MP content. They're not hiring A-list actors for roles in a campaign, so they had better include a HELL of a lot more MP modes and maps if they're going to charge full price. And no, a BR mode doesn't count as a mode, because it's a fad, and they could very easily make a standalone free to play BR COD game and just charge $40 for this.

Probably bouncing between God of War and Destiny 2. I finally got a certain gauntlet for Kratos, and i'm looking forward to testing it out on a valkyrie! In Destiny my friends and I got the exotic sword and sparrow and are now working towards the sleeper stimulant, although for me, I'm not getting the required parts needed from patrols/events for unlocking the crystals. Hopefully it's a fixable bug.....

I'm very confused at the heroic strike light level of 350. It's impossible to reach unless you spam raid runs, and the modifiers are borderline dumb. I don't mind a challenge, but if they're gonna make heroics more like night falls, the rewards better match the difficulty.

@EVIL-C Name calling is a definite sign of an immature child, so please, continue your efforts of making yourself look contradictory! Based on your comments, maybe you should just stay at NL since you're clearly one of these so called "fanbois" that you seem to detest so much. I'll wait another 4 days for you to come up with a semi-readable response

@EVIL-C Maybe you should go to Nintendolife, where they literally had a clickbait article pitting God of War against Labo in Japan? I own both systems too, and I can guarantee I've played more zelda games than you. Get off your high horse and pull that stick out of your bum, sir.

Edit: My mistake, there's two articles over there making the same comparison you lauded me for, and you're in there commenting on them

Re: God of War Patch Makes Day One Alterations on PS4

@rjejr I already canceled it, still hadn't shipped out as of 8PM EST. I'll have to start transitioning to Best Buy from now on I guess. It's already 90% downloaded on my PS4!

I'm really fed up with Amazon in terms of game preorders. They screwed up my Fallout 4 pip boy edition, wiiu breath of the wild, and Uncharted 4. There are very, very few games I get excited for enough to want to play day one, but the ones I get from Amazon always seem to get messed up.

Good for him and his team, i'm glad all of their hard work has paid off. The world of gaming needs more of this type of dedication and less false promises and backpedaling like we've seen from the likes of.....well I'm not going to name them, but we all know who they are.

@RainbowGazelle Are you sure you read the same review the rest of us did? What I got out of it was excellent combat, storytelling, world building, puzzles, side quests, post game content, optional bosses, and some RPG elements thrown in for good measure, all wrapped in a beautiful package.

@Bonbonetti Playing a 100 hour Co-op adventure of DOS2 with my friends was one of the most memorable multiplayer experiences I've ever had. There was laughter, salt, confusion, more laughter, more salt, and genuine "wtf" moments that I haven't seen elsewhere in a co-op game. Very deserving of that award!

@BranJ0 Having played through both, i'd easily give the upper hand to hollow knight. Don't get me wrong, Axiom verge is a great game, but it didn't hit me the same way hollow knight did in terms of atmosphere, combat, level design, audio, lore, and story. I'd recommend playing both without question, but hollow knight is definitely my top choice.
