Borderlands 2 is in my top 3 games of all time. This was an instant buy. Because of the fast paced shooting, dodging and jumping in the game, the move controllers are too clumsy for me. DS4 all the way. I'd like to try aim support if it's ever patched in the future, but I'm totally happy with the current package. Good to see another full length game given the VR treatment, as there's too many 2-4 hour "demos" out there. Highly recommended for those who want a single player FPS on the VR, with plenty of replay ability, randomness and humour. 9.5/10

Yeah I held off buying one or two games last week for something good this week. Guess I'll have to wait for another sale.

@Enuo I'm guessing that they won't drop the price of JC4 until after they release the upcoming patch, and only if it still looks and performs poorly. It has its fun moments, but just a chore to play with visual bugs and crashes constantly ruining the fun.

Watched gameplay of this, as the visuals stood out for me, and looked interesting when first announced. But going by other reviews and videos, it's just a walking simulator, with nothing to explore, just moving forward and listening to the story. And is over in 90 minutes, 45 minutes if you don't collect anything.

Totally agree with the review. It has its cool moments, but the missions are dull and repetitive. The visuals are some of the worst I've seen on a PS4, and they've sucked the fun out of open world gameplay. They've given us less things to blow up, with only enemy bases being destroyable, and no collectibles to collect, giving you no real reason to go exploring.

@RogerRoger I totally agree. I thought my game wasn't installed properly. The textures are shocking, no water effects, lighting flashes light and dark so I'm not sure if its day or night or both. Gameplay seems ok so far, I'm only about 2 hours in. But they've removed destructible chaos objects from villages, so what's the point of having hundreds of villages with nothing to do in them? It's a weird structure, I hope the game gets better and it gets patched soon.

I've only run into a few random killers in my 20+ hours if online. If they continually harass me or kill me I'll return fire on them, then their horse, and them switch servers. Half the time I end up on a server on my own, which gives me team to hunt, collect and prepare. But I don't mind the economy system that mist people complain about. As grooverider said, if we all maxed out straight away it would get boring very quickly. There's plenty of challenges to complete.

I've had no problem with online. Except for the multiplayer shootout modes, I'm yet to be killed by another player. Either lucky or unlucky. Yes it can be a grind, but it would be boring if they gave you every weapon and outfit from the start.

Bring it boah!

I think they just need to rewrite/remake the game code and use that as a patch.

Fortnite GOTY? The world really is getting dumber. Astrobot is a far better VR game than Skyrim IMO.

I predict an announcement of PS5 next year.

I'm happy with the controls. Not every character/game can be a superhero with speed, strength, etc.

Played this on Xbox one months ago. One of the worst looking games on current generation consoles. Played like garbage too. It won't survive with Fortnite, COD Blackout and H1Z1.

RDR2 is the perfect game IMO. I loved RDR1 and played that for years, but this game improves on everything and gives more. I feel the controls are clunky on purpose to give the feeling of weight and movement speed in the wild west. Things weren't fast back then and if controls and gameplay was sped up to feel more arcadey, then the illusion would be broken and you would not feel part of the world, but just be another superhuman character like in most other games.

The way you can hunt, explore and collect for hours upon hours, if you wish, is amazing and the visuals, audio and characters are top notch. As the game went on I grew to love some characters and hate others like no other game. And when I finished the story the game only got better. I can't wait to 100% the game and start all over again just like I did with the first game. Not GOTY but Game Of All Time for me.

Even though earlier Bethesda games have been visually OK in regards to open world design and detail, their character control and movement has always been and felt a generation behind. They really need to change or update their game engine, as after so many games and years, every game of theirs is starting to look and play exactly the same. I enjoyed Skyrim back when it was released but unfortunately that was their pinnacle.

I have to agree with all the "game of this generation" remarks. RDR was my all-time fave game until BOTW came along and just pipped it at the post. But after playing about 10 hours of this I can see this being my all-time fave. So much to do, see, and experience. I can see myself playing this for months and years to come. And that's just the single player.

I pre-ordered the deluxe edition with large map at my local game shop for midnight pickup. But then I couldn't be bothered going down so I bought from PS Store as well. I picked up the physical game this morning, kept the map and gave t the game to my daughter.

Wowzers!!! A definite buy for me. BL2 is in my top 3 games of all time. So glad I'm upgrading to a ps4 pro today.

Too much hand-holding these days in games. I hope R* have an option that removes all waypoints, etc, so I can just explore and discover on my own. In a world of wild west its the only way to play IMO.

@ztpayne7 did u finish it, or did you experience it? You know there's 26 different "endings" right? You'll get the best one after about 5 playthroughs......life changing.

Where's the next gameplay trailer?

Hell yeah. I love the WWII era. COD done ok with their version but I've always loved the atmosphere that the Battlefield series creates. Can't wait.

This trailer showed the world once again why Rockstar are the best of the best. I cannot wait.

This games gonna be huge. Rockstar not showing anything on purpose means its gonna be something special when it releases. I'm guessing full co-op/multiplayer campaign, along with the best graphics seen in a game, realistic animation and physics and a massive open world with unlimited gameplay. I can't wait.

Update: seems the deletion of saved data from storage has fixed the issue so far. Maybe the old saves weren't compatible?

Game crashes after 2 mins. Just read a fix which says to delete save data from storage. Trying it now, hopefully it works or I'll be waiting for the next patch (not this NEXT patch, but the next patch )

Borderlands should be in the top 3 IMO. Gameplay is tight and fun, plenty of humour and you can play for ever. You never get the same gun or stats as everyone else, unlike Destiny where everyone 2nd person is running around with the same sniper rifle and abilities. Gotta agree on Diablo as top spot though.

I jump on after every update to see what's new. The game seems to be getting better, almost to what was first promised. I look forward to this update. Though there's still something missing in my opinion. It needs random missions or something. It is a relaxing game, I just hope it isn't spoiled by randoms killing everyone while trying to mind your own business, like in GTAV.

Very similar to Forza in freedom, events and customization. Even has a livery,/skin editor. I was in the closed beta and agree it was more fun than the original. More arcadey feel, less frustration on cornering, etc.

Is it a joke?

@MrOso sorry for not "@ing" you before...

Game modes in other games usually contain different objectives, maps or missions. Not just changing the squad number from 4 to 20 or 50. You're still doing the same thing, on the same map, with the same outcome.

I also wouldn't call different colour pick axes, gliders and emotes a great deal of customization. There's no progression or reason to keep playing, unless you want to brag to the kids in the playground. Why pay to look like everyone else that has also played?

Also PUBG was the first of these BR games to hit the consoles. I don't talk about PC here.

I know "gamers" who play Fortnite and nothing else. They brag about their wins and the amount of hours they play. Throw them on another game with objectives, or different genre, and they play like its the first time they've picked up a controller. They stumble around and call any other game crap.

Yes, Fortnite is one of the biggest things in gaming right now, but it's targeted as a kids game IMO.

Fortnite has customization and different game modes? You call giving me a random character every game and an umbrella for a glider customization? And the only game mode is Battle Royale (no one plays single player mode).

PUBG could be a good game, if it was released in 2006. The gameplay mechanics and graphics are so messy and basic. The only reason it's popular is because it was the first of its kind. Just like Fortnite it's just a craze that will die off.

Cleaning up AC: Origins for the platinum trophy, and back onto Battlefront 2, as I've been playing that all week.

@bbq_boy "Don't know but it seems like game companies are ripping us off by charging a full RRP cost but it's not to fully own the game but more like an initial entry fee. Then if you want more (eg. The fuller experience) then expect to pay the continual VIP fees hence microtransucktions."

But you can get everything in the game without spending more money. It's called playing the game. It's like standard shipping and express shipping. You'll still get it, but it will take a bit longer. But if you want to be the cool kid on the block and have it first than spend more money. Give us everything unlocked at the start and people will complain about that. This has been exaggerated way too far. Paying for loot boxes ain't going to make a bad player play any better. And a good player can still take down a good player equipped with star cards.

@dryrain So true. I've played about 6-8 hours of multiplayer so far, have 13,000 credits in the bank, and I've already spent 20,000 on heroes and loot boxes. So that's about 33,000 credits in 6-8 hours. So either the "40 hours of gameplay" statement is exaggerated or the guy that worked that out is just terrible at playing games.

I have no problem with micro-transactions because I don't need them or use them. I just ignore them. I think the loot boxes are fine and they don't unbalance matches. I just top scored, MVP'ed and top killstreaked a game with no star cards on a vulture droid. I bet half the players in the match had at least 1 star card and it didn't affect me. If they want to waste their money, go for it.

I'd rather enjoy the game and grind and receive random loot. That's what's most games are about these days: grinding for the unknown, random treasure. If there were no loot boxes like the first battlefront everyone would complain. I love the game because I'm a star wars fan. It's not perfect but it's fun and that's why I play games.

@themcnoisy it's too late for me. George Lucas was my dealer and now look where I am.

Just jumped on the game for another look: Luke Skywalker costs 15,000 credits to unlock. I have 4,155 available and already spent about 11,000+ last night. So if it takes him 40 hours of gameplay to earn that many credits he needs to learn how to play.

I've played for about 2-3 hours and don't see it being a 40 hour grind. You also get credits for duplicate star card received in loot crates and completing challenges. Dont see what the big deal is about all this grinding and microtransactions. Grinding gives you a purpose to keep playing, just like any other game. And microtransactions may get you good gear, but it's no good if you don't know how to use it or can't play to save your life. It's the same as weapon shortcuts in previous games IMO. Just another exaggerated topic to get people crying over something that won't affect the players who play to enjoy the game.

If the COD servers would let me play more than one game before getting stuck on the loading screen I'd be playing that. So I've had to go back to AC:Origins and Mudrunner. Also tried out Fortnite, it's ok but no character customisation makes replayability boring. There's nothing to play for.

I agree with the lag/hit scan issues. Plenty of times I died after emptying 5-10 bullets into an enemy, only to watch them in the kill-cam put 2-3 bullets in me using the same gun as I was. Also sprinting seemed slow and short- lived. Initial press of the L stick only lasted about 2-3 seconds of sprint. Press it again and get less time sprinting. Other than that I enjoyed the stripped down basics of the game. Reminded me of World at War, both in time period and basic shooter gameplay. Wait and see what this weekend brings.

I enjoyed Battlefront 1, even in its simple form, but cannot wait for this. Shinier, better, customisable. So glad I pre-ordered this already.

@LieutenantFatman yeah whenever you're aiming for a nav beacon or space station, keep your throttle in the blue zone (right of your 3D map), as it will pretty much guide your ship in for you, slowing you down and alerting safe entry, so you don't overshoot your target.

Give this link a read, it helped me so much.

@thedevilsjester yeah I had a buggy landing tutorial. Kept telling me charge up my FSD drive (X+Up), then the landing gear wouldn't lower. Had to reset tutorial. Other than that bug, and a few server drop-outs, I'm enjoying the game.

@thedevilsjester I thought the same with the controls. I changed them but then later they reverted back! Then after a while I released I had clicked L3 which alters flight controls.

@Xavien steep learning curve, you'll be bouncing around docking stations for minutes until you finally land or crash. Do a few courier missions and buy an auto docking component. It will do the hard work for you. Then upgrade lasers to help with auto aim. It does get better if you have patience. The first few hours I was starting to regret the download. But then it just clicks and you want to see everything. It's not a game for everyone.

Went out on a limb and bought this. Disappointed by No Man's Sky and the lack of missions. Really enjoying Elite Dangerous. Steep learning curve but rewarding when you complete a mission or make a smooth landing. I find the game relaxing as I'm running as courier for factions. Great visuals and audio as well.

@Quintumply is this open world/free to roam like The Witness, or do puzzles restrict exploration to a more linear game?

Looks like The Witness in third person to me.

Yeah people make the mistake of putting COD and BF in the same basket. COD is pretty much run and gun, while BF is more tactical, more atmospheric and less arcadey IMO.

Im really enjoying the WWI setting. Seems more skill is involved then just spraying automatic weapons all over the place and shooting lock-on rockets. From what I've played so far the atmosphere is perfect. The visuals, the sound, the sandstorms, all set the mood.

Can't wait for the full release as I've always enjoyed the BF series. Plus the rumour of an ANZAC Cove map has me excited as my great grandfather fought there in WWI. Bring on October 21!
