True. Honestly even with properly levelled gear I sometimes feel like regular mooks take too many swipes to hit the dirt (without using special attacks). So being a badass at high levels will just make casual battles more fun.
For me AC has always been about stealth and the hidden blade. If I get into big brawls it's usually because I did something wrong. Or am going for some meaningless achievement.
Yeah same, and I like the broken spear as the new "hidden blade". I have fun sneaking around and whittling down enemy forces before assaulting a point of interest. Most of my group battles happen on the sea to be honest, after beating a crew in ship to ship combat and then boarding to collect the loot.
Yup. I like picking off patrols then strolling through the front door. I wish they coded a look of shock and surprise as the lone guard I left alive rushes me thinking he has all the backup in the world only to realize that he's all alone. They really should code him to drop his weapon and slowly back away. I have an mental cut-scene I play for that moment.
I find that I consistently get murdered when I try to board a ship. It wasn't like that in Black Flag. I'm now resorting to killing everyone with arrows from my own boat like a little #####.
I've enjoyed the mercenary system so far, very reminiscent of the orc system in the Shadow of Mordor games obviously. I have actually targeted and killed two that had been hunting me, but couldn't find me by the time my wanted level went down. Then I snuck up on them before they left the area and I got some sweet loot and moved up the merc ranks.IvanKaramazov said:
For each bounty level, another bounty hunter will start tracking you (their indicators on your map and radar will be red). When they track you, they will follow to where you are. If you put enemies on alert, they will come faster. If you fast-travel, they will too.IvanKaramazov said:
My kid still pulls out Watch Dogs just to drive around. I won't let him play the rest of it, but he doesn't care - the driving is all he wants to do.
There's a spot in a nearby cave you can stand on and just pepper it with arrows without getting hit. That was the hardest mission in the game and completely unfair.
You can also get an engraving that adds to damage against animals. And engraving bonuses can stack.
Same here. Looking for something new as I am no longer getting any enjoyment from FPS. NBA2K has been my default lately, but the details of the new game are not making me happy. Not looking forward to it.
OK, I think you've sold me on this game. Would I be better off getting the version w/ all the DLC for $40 or just the game for $20? (PS4)jwb said:
Have not played any DLC yet, so it's hard to say, but I went with the $40 one - but it seems the base game is pretty long, so I may never get to it.
I get it every year because I enjoy it. The new RPO system is nice and I like Face of The Franchise. The idiots are the ones who spend outrageous sums on Ultimate team as that seems like the only thing they ever care about doing. How about just stop being idiots and paying a #### ton of money for the UT stuff and then the developers will care about everything else more. These Fantasy and Ultimate Team division these sports games got is literally ruining the rest of the game for everyone else. It's like when Multiplayer online got big the devs didn't care anymore about the campaign or story modes. I've said this before A guy who use to do NBA2K every year exposed the whole UT scam. Basically the people who review the games get the game and companies somehow trigger for them to get the best players and packs and rare cards. This makes fans look at it and want to buy it more. The reality is you have a 1 and 1M or more of a chance ever seeing one of these cards these guys get. its all a scam to make idiots pay and waste their $$$ these devs are stealing from you. Credit to EA and others for taking advantage of stupid people though
Getting back to you on this they fixed a few things for Fifa 20. This year you have fully customizable managers and can do a male or female. Your manager you can make look like Sir Alex Ferguson or an old time bloke with the Scarf and little hat walking around with dress pants and shoes on. You can change the clothing anytime in career mode. The new Mode Volta takes you back to FIFA Street days if you ever played it but a lot better. Fully customize your player again both genders and clothing and tats as well. Different games 5V5 without or with a keeper, 1v1 2v2 etc and can play anywhere from a roof top in Tokyo to an underpass in Amersterdam or a cage court in London. Theres also a story mode to this similar to the Journey. Manager mode has also brought along press conferences with a similar mechanic system of answering questions to what the Journey had and depending how you answer the media questions it can effect your team or a player morale.
I watched this review last night. Not surprised. I may give it a whirl when it's available on EA Access, but I'm not expecting much.
What? I always played as the Carolina Panthers and Stephen Davis would easily rack up 200+ yards a game.
I'd suggest picking 1 character (a tank or healer) and getting good at it. Then I'd spread to other characters via Mystery Heroes (it's easier to learn a new character when everyone else is on a character they don't play as often). The easiest characters to learn the game on are:Bull Dozier said:
Yeah me too. I can't believe I'm doing this all over again. This time around, instead of college grades going down the toilet, it might be my marriage.
I am playing alliance on Herod.
Funny you mentioned it. I am stuck in a rut. Rarely turn it on and when I do, it's NG++++ of Dark Souls 3 or XCOM 2. Have four new games still in the case and zero motivation to start any of them.haven't turned on a console in months
I get in those ruts as well. I was playing Hollow Knight. It’s not bad, but I don’t have much drive to keep going either.haven't turned on a console in months
Yeah after FINALLY beating Days Gone, I have nothing new to play and there is nothing new on the horizon I am interested in playing. Thought about starting Hollow Knight but I dunno about that. Decided to finally start a Franchise in MLB the Show. Better late than never. Into May already.haven't turned on a console in months
I'm looking forward to The Outer Worlds. This is being made by the same company that made Fallout: New Vegas, which was hands-down the best of the modern Fallout games and it's not even close. My hopes are kind of tempered because I've gotten the impression that it's a "smaller" game somehow, but I would like a Fallout/Elder Scrolls type game that brings back real player choice and reverses the dumbing-down of the RPG elements.shadyridr said:
Disagree.
I dont think so. You have to invite them into your world. I’m sure there are communities where people connect to play together.What if you don't have any friends?
Used to absolutely love the AC franchise until the last two. Sorry but when I do a drop assassin move on an enemy they should always die not shrug it off and waste me. What's the f'ing point if you're acting like an assassin and it still doesn't matter? Also, very little climbing/running roof tops, which is one of the things I loved about the franchise. Oh well.
I'm enjoying Odyssey a lot more now that I've leveled up and dumped a ton of points into the assassin skill tree. I'm sure there's a fun way to play this game that involves building your character as a straight-up brawler or archer, but I don't see it.
Yea, not in Odyssey. Especially the archer - they nerfed that quite a bit. In the Egypt one, you could easily headshot your way around a camp. Not so much here.
I still play it too. Graphics still hold up for a game 15 years old and so I agree with that. I think the franchise mode is still better than DJax gives it credit for. But I still think the gameplay of Madden finally caught up, so we'll agree to disagree there. That's not a knock on 2k5. I can still get nearly 200 yards a game without trying and 10 sacks a game with one player. Madden's a lot harder to do that with, though not impossible.
I still play it because I have EA Access and I get access to it every year. Madden 17 was the last one that I liked. But I always try the newer one once it becomes available with the service. I don't need it at launch, so I usually wait til it unlocks in February, after the Superbowl.
I was in the middle of editing to say:
I agree with Angry Joe that Madden is just the same copy/pasta every year now. They never add anything new. They only remove features, only to re-introduce them and call them a new feature. That, I hate. I'd probably be more critical to it if I paid for a new game every year. But to be honest, I haven't paid specifically for a Madden game since Madden 25 (which I remember getting really cheap a year later only because I wanted to port my college prospects from NCAA Football 14 [RIP] over to Madden to continue their careers).
