As good as the story was in the first game if the 2nd does not have multi-player then there is no chance I will buy it. Not sure why Sony dislikes multi-player elements to games. There are games where it would be well suited and they avoid it.
Game has been out for years on PC. Very short about 20 minutes long but you need to play through numerous times to work out everything. Not sure its suited to console as you need to do everything quickly which is easy with a mouse but slow with ps controller.
I do not know how you did not come across any players when you were playing the game. How many hours did you play the game for and what locations did you visit?
Every session I play I come across players. To say the game is aimless makes no sense. Its a survival game, pvp, base building, roleplaying. The game is what you want it to be. You can be a travelling sales person or a solo survivalist. Join a group and kill people or play the protector of those who have been wronged. Its what you want it to be.
The world is truly massive no other game even comes close to it. The sound effects are great and the night time is truly brutal. Do you carry on your journey with a flare or torch and risk being seen or hold up in a house and wait till daylight. Do you light a fire to keep warm or not?
The survival aspect is good and you are constantly thinking what can I risk dropping and what should I take. Are players I meet friendly or will they kill me when I turn my back. No other game is giving me this experience.
I belong to a number of communities regarding this game and they are not relaying the bad experience you have had.
Wireless sounds great but then its battery powered and that limits how long you can use it. Take for example the Occulus Quest you can game for 2 hours or watch media on it for 3 hours. So unless battery technology greatly improves you probably looking at the same useage before needing to recharge.
This gaming portable device has no place on this website. It also has a horrible name. Unless your a child saying your going to have a playdate just sounds down right strange.
3 Issues I have with this game even though I do play it for an hour or so everyday. One they are unwilling to make changes to the map until the end of the season. There are areas that clearly need revamping. Two the season pass and character skins are boring. Mostly just a respray. You want to define yourself as a player and these skinds do not allow you to do that. Three weapon skins are defoned by the first person who picks up a weapon. It stays that way for the whole match. So even if you have great weapon skins you are stuck with someones choice.
Overall the game is decent as a shooter experience. But when your comparing it to other ever evolving BR experiences it certainly does not seem to have the same drive or amition as other projects.
Its a good social game to play with friends or strangers. Very small cost to buy a season pass then if you play the game enough you never have to pay money for one again.
A lot of games could learn lessons from how this game is supported. Its constantly evolving and changing every season. Puts other games to shame.
Just buy it digitally. Its not like other games where you will just play the story once then forget about it. Lots of reply value due to the progression system and difficulty settings. Plus there is virtually no price difference betwen didgital and physical copies.
This website publishes a story about the problems with match making. Yet you did not run a story about Save the World where match making was broken and multi-player was none existant for a week. Very selective about the stories that are published. I guess kicking a game when its down gets more clicks.
Sounds like the game should have been delayed more than the initial release date. Does not sound like there is any real innovation in the game condsidering the amount of time they had to work on the game. Glad I picked up World War Z instead. Would consider picking it up when it hits the £20 mark and if they iron out the bugs.
Sony have shown little to no indicators they really want cross play on their consoles. Look at home many games support it now. I doubt that will change for the next generation of console.
Not really interested in many of the exclusives from Sony so will most likely go with xbox. Microsoft have been making a lot of positive moves in the last 6-12 months sony have not been doing the same.
A game/experience that finally makes a lot of use of motion control and I really hate it. Find the use of it very frustrating. Hopefully they will provide other options on full release.
Been playing the game since saturday as I got a copy in the post early. Game worked fine and completed all the chapters. There was one level in chapter two that had to be restarted but that was it. Soince official launch the servers went down but seem to be working ok now. Impressed with the game the hordes have been put together well and the fighting is intense. With a real need to work together as a team. Good leveling up system for weapons and character classes with a lot of reply value. Reasonable price as well.
You can pick up a 1tb ssd for less than £100 and the price keeps dropping. The question is the quality of the SSD drives that sony will put in the machines. Some last a lot longer than others.
I run the PS4 with a SSD there is a difference in load times but I would not say its significant for people to think this will be a game changer.
I really thought Sony would be progressive with its next console regarding the disc drive I guess not. I hope atleast sony will give the option of not having a disc drive.
Increase the price and offer a better service. Humble bundle offer great games every month for around £9 puts the ps plus service to shame. Model it on that
Lets hope sony do away with physical games for the next generation. The PC market works well without physical sales. It will also be less damaging to the environment. Sony is responsible for 100 millions of games cases and cd's made from plastic that just end up in landfill.
I am currently signed up to shadow tech which is cloud pc gaming on any device. Service is outstanding no need to ever upgrade my pc and can game on anything with a screen. Its reasonable on £27 a month. So I would assume google service would come in around that price. You only need a connection of 15mb. I can not imagine google would need anything faster than that.This is the future can not wait for mass market adoption.
Having a story is nice but I do not know the figures for those buying the game for the story or those who only really want to play the online portion of the game.
Ps plus has never been good value. Yeah paying £50 a year to get discounts...great value. Cloud saves pointless. Games are not free if your paying for them.
