I would love to play this game because it looks incredible, it's just the repetition that puts me off and the difficulty. I know people say that the difficulty is what makes the game, yeah yeah, I get that, keep the difficulty on high then but why not an option so other people can try it and experience it too? I tried one level and every time I died I had to start from the exact same point, way way back in the level. It was so infuriating and off putting. I didn't find a single checkpoint on my time with it.
@Simon_Fitzgerald Nice review Would this game be a good introductory RPG for a 5/6 year old? No really complicated inventory or crafting or levelling etc?
@RoyalGuard When I've put old games in, they always download the required patches and updates. How far in the future are you thinking of playing COD WW2, 2057??
@RoyalGuard Really? The patch is a deal breaker? Nearly every game that comes out these days have patches straightaway. What games do you play that don't?
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Thanks for the heads up. I already pre ordered this digitally over a year ago, so was given the code way back then. So have gone through and replayed The Stick Of Truth on PS4 already. When it was announced the game was being delayed, I then cancelled my pre order
Well said. I was looking forward to the beta but after a couple of goes, it felt really flat and confusing. Graphics and sound are spot on but you just get killed way too easily. The way you spawn back in to squads is a very good touch though
Question - I managed to get an exotic piece of arm amour quite early on at level 6 or 7 (not sure how) it's power is 105, now I am a higher level, i'm getting lots of blue pieces that are 150 to 160. I know exotics are meant to be the best but with that low power it's not worth it. Should I dismantle it, sell it, something else?
@Mega-Gazz I'm using Titan and when I try and do little jumps it just seems to go way too far! Trying to do the sinking rig mission, i just kept falling in the sea all the time. It also doesn't seem to move well in the air so aiming for a landing position is tricky too
I didn't preorder but bought it as an impulse buy on the way home from work. I did have the first Destiny but gave up after a while. I think I like D2, it's just very confusing at times and the jumping/platformy sections are rubbish.
If you take inflation at an average of 2.7% since 2010 and apply it yearly to the original annual subscription of £39.99: Year SUB VAT 2010 £39.99 £1.08 2011 £41.07 £1.11 2012 £42.18 £1.14 2013 £43.32 £1.17 2014 £44.49 £1.20 2015 £45.69 £1.23 2016 £46.92 £1.27 2017 £48.19
It's only about 3p a day. They haven't made any increase in price since launch. If you add average inflation every year since then you get about £48. So it's not too bad in the whole scheme of things, it just looks worse in one bigger hit
@get2sammyb @vegeta11 You're doing great work in the guild! I managed to knock up a few more points last night but my skills are still pretty poor, so not as much as yourself
It was unacceptable to release it how it was. I perservered through the whole game but it felt so hollow, so wooden. Even with the vastness of the planets/galaxies, it had an empty feeling. It had no heart. It is an atrocious entry in to the Mass Effect universe and considering the amount of time and resource they had, there is really no excuse to release something so shoddy
I'd love to play games early, i'm very impatient but for the console, they really need to be a polished and finished product. I can understand Betas and stress testing but not unfinished games
I'm definitely excited for this, looks brutal! I'm going to hold back this time though and wait for some reviews before pre-order, I'm never doing that again after the Andromeda farce. The online games are going to be so tense, shame there's only 3 maps though? And I would feel more comfortable if the single player was actually included in the release rather than waiting foor it
@ShogunRok Another great review, thank you! You have totally swayed me in to getting this but I'm not sure where i'm going to get the time to play all the stuff I have at the moment. There was a comment earlier about dying and 'game over', it does just go back to a checkpoint yeah? It's not a start over from scratch thing?
This review sums up the majority of other reviews I have read. I had the game on preorder and it's downloaded and ready to play (unfortunately I can't get time to play on it until probably at least Sunday though!!!) I'm pretty tolerant on most open world games, they all have their ups and downs and in the whole, I enjoy them. I think I can get past the negatives in the reviews and still enjoy the game

How are the trophies in this DLC, are they relatively easy?

Re: Poll: Are You Enjoying Destiny 2?
@kyleforrester87 I must be doing something wrong because I can't land on the platforms properly, the jet pack keeps pushing me too far?

Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on the PlayStation Plus Price Increase?
If you take inflation at an average of 2.7% since 2010 and apply it yearly to the original annual subscription of £39.99:
Year SUB VAT
2010 £39.99 £1.08
2011 £41.07 £1.11
2012 £42.18 £1.14
2013 £43.32 £1.17
2014 £44.49 £1.20
2015 £45.69 £1.23
2016 £46.92 £1.27
2017 £48.19
That's not too far off to be fair
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on the PlayStation Plus Price Increase?
@BLP_Software I've only ever got the annual one so that's why I'd never noticed a price change
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on the PlayStation Plus Price Increase?
@BLP_Software I just found this article. Look at the bottom of the page. https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/06/23/playstation-plus-explained/
It was £39.99 back in 2010 according to this
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on the PlayStation Plus Price Increase?
@BLP_Software I don't remember it going up, I always thought it was this price. Must have missed it. What was it originally then?
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on the PlayStation Plus Price Increase?
It's only about 3p a day. They haven't made any increase in price since launch. If you add average inflation every year since then you get about £48. So it's not too bad in the whole scheme of things, it just looks worse in one bigger hit

Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on Destiny 2?
It doesn't really look inspiring or seem intriguing, just looks like a larger DLC pack? I give it 4 mehs but I'll wait until I see some more

Re: Friday the 13th: The Game Unmasks 26th May on PS4
