Decided to check out Madden 20 on Gamepass, it's ok definitely not as refined as Mutant Football League but it's fun. Also got back into Forza Horizon 3 after reinstalling it on my Series X and if I get time Cold War.
@Jaz007 There doesn't have to be a good reason, it's his list.
I mean you don't have to participate in it and there's the forums where you can make a poll that makes sense to you. The community here has done several polls in the past in the forums.
@Flaming_Kaiser Pretty much which is a shame. The only thing we can hope is that Rockstar does GTA Online like how Activision does Warzone then we might see a GTA 6
@JohnKarnes Yep that was like me. Grew up with NES, Genesis and was a big console gamer up to the PS2 era till some friends got me into WoW. I had an Xbox 360 and a Wii but mainly that was for my son. Then my PC just died one day and it got me thinking why play one game when I can play many more so instead of getting a new PC I got a PS4, and haven't touched WoW since.
@Mega-Gazz That how I ended up missing alot of great games during the 360/PS3 era. Most of my free time was spent on WoW doing the various grinds to get an item. I never played games like The Last of Us till I got my PS4, and there are many more that I haven't got around too.
One reason I stopped playing WoW even as much as I loved the storyline. It seemed that I didn't have time for other games. I get it that each developer wants you to play their game the most but now its getting a bit annoying.
@nessisonett I don't know if that will be a case. I have at times bought stuff from stores and had to get a refund from the company that made the product not the store itself because it wasn't the stores fault that the product was damaged, missing parts etc.
@Arugula Lol. Don't get me wrong if you like that play style then I can see why Modern Warfare is better but for me I can't do the camping thing I just get bored lol. I need to move around and in Modern Warfare it's a death sentence with people mounting guns and such. It's just different playstyles.
It's almost to the point where yeah both Modern Warfare and Cold War are called Call of Duty but they play different. Modern Warfare seemed to do a more gritty realistic take on the CoD formula where as Cold War went the Arcadey way. I honestly hope that Activision continues to support both games for many years to give people that choice.
I have this game on Switch and it's one of my favorite for the system and just a great game all around. I am happy that more people are able to enjoy this great game now. Since I have been playing the Switch version in 3D I think I will start a 2D playthrough on either the Xbox or PS4
I noticed that happen to me last gen. Most of my games on PS4 and Xbox One are digital I have maybe 5 to 10 physical games for each system. As opposed to the 360/PS3 era where I have about 20-30 physical games on each. I won't deny for me the sales just seemed better on the digital storefronts last gen.
I always preferred the actor that played Kano in the first Mortal Kombat movie. True fact it's because of the actor in the movie that Midway later retconned Kano's nationality. Original he was American but in later games he is Australian.
@antdickens I am so sorry that happened to you. So is it some sort of legal technicality that made them give you a refund? Like they had so many days to give you a PS5 after it went missing or maybe an insurance thing since it got stolen? Cause its not like they aren't getting anymore in at all. So why couldn't they just hold on to your money till the next shipment arrives from Sony when it does?
I played quite a bit last night since they had a double XP day and I did notice the SBMM. A few games In would be crushing the other team then the next match was really sweaty. I also seemed to die alot to the MP5 too, it seemed that everyone was using that gun.
However people need to chill the game hasn't even been out for a week of course there is going to be some fine tuning. Especially with devs having to work from home due to COVID there will be problems and it will take a bit longer to fix. However if say here in a month or two the same problems are around then yes there is a reason to complain.
However though their probably won't be a fix for the SBMM and that is due to Activision not developers like Teryarch. Time and time again developers like Teryarch and Infinity Ward have said that they don't even know how the SBMM is coded. All they know is that a is supposedly to help new players not get stomped and the more cosmetics and crap you buy from the CoD store the easier a lobby will be for you. This is done to get people to buy CoD points and spend real money. Even head of Teryarch David Vonhdar has gone on record and said he doesn't like the SBMM system but unfortunately his hands are tied cause in the end it's Activision who signs his check.
@saemir That has nothing to do with the reason for the shapes. They originally meant for the transition from 2D to 3D games. X and Circle were meant for yes and no choices, Square wasn't to be for menus and triangle was to switch view points.
Forza Horizon 3 (Xbox One). Still plugging a ay at this game. I am really enjoying it alot. Just upgraded one of my festival spots and unlocked street races.
Mafia II (Xbox One) Playing the original 360 version. Finished Mafia Definitive Edition a few weeks ago so I decided to start the next one in the series.
Forza Horizon 3 (Xbox One) Going to be continuing racing across Australia. I am having alot of fun with this game.
Mafia II (Xbox One). I finished Mafia Definitive Edition the other day and I am still in the mood for Mafia so it's only fitting I continue on with Mafia II.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 (Xbox One). My teenage self is still enjoying this game hoping to clear out a few more levels this weekend.
@Gmork___ @nessisonett Welcome to Modern Warfare 2019 all it is is a camper's paradise. You try to rush around the map and you get punished for it. That's why I stopped playing Modern Warfare and cant wait for Cold War.
I have such come memories of playing the original. For some reason I enjoyed that game over GTA 3. Sadly though the game hasn't aged well so when they announced the Remaster I had to get it. Will be checking it out after work tonight!!
