I find microtransactions to be frustrating. If they're included, it means it's part of the game. If I'm paying a full $60 for the game, I shouldn't be nickel and dimed for content that is completed with the game.
THAT was the egregious offense ME3 committed. Much more so than the ending.
Yes. Best one yet. Everything is better overall, and running the ball is really fun. Gameplay is very, very good - this feels more like football than ever. I thought the past 2-3 years were all decent steps forward, and this one almost puts a neat bow on it.
Agree with this. It only really bothers me on the margins. I received so much value out of ME3, it would have been a bargain at $150, so paying $70 or whatever for the "full" game doesn't cause me any grief. I'm certainly not going to try out a game I'm sort of on the fence about - like, say, Battlefield - under those circumstances, however.
The Witness was an extremely highly rated puzzle/story game for the PS4/PC. I did not play it, so better info from guys who did, but I didn't see much discussion on it here. As bigmarc said, kinda in the old myst vein of games where you are exploring an island having to solve interesting and sometimes complex puzzles to move throughout.
About three of the ME3 dlcs I would consider must have content that hurt the story overall without it. Not just its a nice addition, but vital for it to be complete. Similar to Fallout 3 with the final dlc. Games shouldn't do that.
This is pretty much all I know. I hear some of it is very difficult, but lots of good things overall. I believe the entire island is one big open puzzle from the start, and that it has different regions like a snowy mountain to a jungle to a desert.
It's available as PC digital download for about $7 on GamersGate.com (and/or maybe Steam) right now.
Finding the secrets was cool and although I never finished it i found it to be very good. The way the story is told through the terminals in interesting.
It's a game that you can wait on. There's no usefully to graphics, frame rate, controls, etc. Basically, it won't really age.
I don't have a PC to game on. We have a MacBook that we use for every day stuff like finances and whatnot, and everything else is me on an IPad. If anyone ever reads my posts closely enough, they can probably tell I'm on an iPad because I don't bother to proof for weird autocorrects and such.
I found mine in a box next to one of the antennas you use to "discover" an area. My wife got it through talking with an alien. Eventually they get there.NorvilleBarnes said:I think I have some of my various towers confused, but I think I recall the distinction of a "distress signal" and other transmissions. Sometimes I'm at those things with an orange beam going up and you can pick from one of four options - I know what "shelter" means and pretend that I didn't learn that and mix it up. There are "transmission towers" that find various things - you don't choose - it just tells you what it finds. And there are observatories, and they find a variety of locations as well. I think.
Anyway, tonight I'm on a mission to get my AtlasPass - it's just driving me crazy all the containers and doors that need one. And then back to upgrading my ship. Unless I get sidetracked. Which is pretty much guaranteed.
Finally got the blueprint for one and built it. Also reached a location that found a crashed ship signal and put it on my radar. My current ship looks like a dragonfly and my old one was a boring freighter looking thing so I'm hoping this one is star warsish. Fingers crossed. I'm on a fun planet so I'm going to try to complete my discovery list this one time.
I postponed my search for v2 and v3 passes while I work on upgrading my ship. 48 Slots is the max currently and I'm at 28. I've already maxed my suit and gun so once I get the ship built I'll have all my equipment upgraded to max. After that I'll work my way toward the center where I'm sure the V2 and V3 passes are more common.
What are the maxes for suit and tool? I think its 48 for suit and 24 for tool but I can't remember. I may be close to max on my tool, but only around 30 w/ my suit. My ship is in the 20's, so I'm actively searching for crashed ships. I actually really enjoy that part, and I just fix the minimum to get it to fly on the planet I'm on so I can keep upgrading. I always patch it fully before I jump to the next planet.
48 for ship, 48 for suit, 24 for tool. As for all the discoveries, I don't know, never done it
. I've always gotten the urge to move to the next planet before I've even come close.
Great info and link.
Yeah, I think a hard cliff at the same age for every player is pretty lazy actually, as a way to simulate regression and keep too many 90+ rated players from being in the league at once. But its a good start. And if you want to simulate some HOF type long careers that aren't as possible now, all you have to do is edit the players back to where they were before the regression (or regress them yourself via editing in whatever manner you find realistic, if you have the patience).
Balancing a shooter is a lose/lose situation.
Yeah I read it. That's what I was referencing. Seems like they are listening to feed back and making adjustments.
I think Madden passed up NFL 2k5 with Madden 25. It took them 10 extra years, but it did finally happen.
Madden has been a better game of football for awhile now. 2k had a better halftime show/etc, but as far as gameplay, it hasn't been close for quite some time. And I *loved* 2k, and still play All Pro Football 2k8 once in awhile. But Madden is far more challenging.
I've given them a lot of picks. Slants are killing me. Receivers always cross behind LBs.
no, no more magic jumping LB's. I think they got rid of that last year, in fact.
Actually I DO care about making it to the center but no way I'm clicking on that. I don't want any more spoilers than I have.
I think I'm probably skipping BF1, but that's just because I'm not really interested in a shooter right now, not because of this. Battlefield titles have always provided fantastic value in their vanilla versions, and the expansion packs have been stellar. I have no objection at all to paid map packs when they're high-quality, and these probably will be based on past trends.
It's about the destination, not the journey. I probably could have worded it better. It's a good read for those on the fence. But it definitely gives away the ending, which is why I said spoiler.
