BL2 is such a well-written game. BL3 is supposed to come out next year.
Yeah I’m not very good either. The maps are kind of frustrating too... they’re so small and cramped. I miss the maps from World at War that we’re large and allowed you to go a few feet without getting shot in the back. I feel like they figured the only way to not lose the ADD wall running crowd was if they crammed everyone into a shoebox where everyone just gets slaughtered. I’m still liking it ok, but it’s not as enjoyable as I was hoping.
If you figure out the best way to do this, let me know. Thinking EBay - looks to be fetching maybe $150.
I loved it but that was when it wasn't a chore to gather things and you could use a glitch to recycle as much as you wanted. It was a bit of a pain to do so but if I didn't have the ammo reserves I did not sure I would have ever finished it. I did think the end was awesome though.
Half Life 2 was the best I have played and nothing has come close since. Might have to check out Titanfall 2.
Yeah, that's what I always did in years past also. Wish I had held on to those older consoles now though for the nostalgia factor.
I was enjoying the Titanfall 2 campaign a lot last Spring, and then they did an update where they erased all of my progress. I was 2/3 through that thing and it was gone. I walked away out of sheer anger at the company for doing that. No way to pick it back up or start at an unlocked level at all, gone. Don't think I will buy another of their games for that infraction.
This is looking like another year where I pick up enough games for <$30 to carry me through the summer at least. Evil Within 2, Wolfenstein 2, Nier Automata, Middle Earth, and maybe the Bioshock collection.
Yeah mine says he wants one too. Don't think he's getting one. He's already getting an Xbox One S from grandpa... don't think he needs 2 new systems, especially since he'll still spend the bulk of his time playing Roblox or watching YouTube
I prefer historical games that cover WWI and WWII but doesn't have to be. Just a great war experience that really makes you feel it.
Call of Duty: Black Ops is the first thing that jumps to my mind. The one with Reznov.
Not many WWI games out there. BF1 is about it, and it is excellent. WWII, choose any, I think most are good as far as campaign. The Red Orchestra series is good.
Ah, memories. My first FPS, played on a laptop while deployed after 9/11. Was restricted to quarters for a few weeks. It kept me sane.
That game was just a disappointment to me. I really do love that LA mobster timeframe, and was excited for the game. First, I never "got" the interrogation thing, I know it was supposed to be a visual thing reading facial and vocal expressions, but I just never caught on. I went with if you have proof agree or disagree appropriately and if not the middle push harder option and it just made me right 90% of the time. Those interrogations were supposed to be this huge tech advance, and I never caught it. Second the game made me a little angry that I could tell the investigations were not correct, and there seemed to be huge holes that were just ignored, and I didn't feel the characters were realizing or reacting to that, maybe I mind that less in a movie where I feel like an observer, but in a game I'm supposed to feel like I'm a part of it, and just didn't.
the new COD does a pretty good jump of making you feel like you are playing in a unit. You move through the story with a group of characters. They have perks you can use.
Bought this for $5. I’ll get to it at some point, but in my quick 30 mins with it, it wasn’t what I was looking for at the time.
Yeah I pretty much agree with all of that. I really want to like it though, I kinda want to try again. I still have the 360 version so I’d feel stupid buying it but it does have the dlc.
It's worth playing, but don't expect Half-Life 2 level (my own opinion). The only games I've found that even comes remotely close to HL2 is the Bioshock series. Although the new Wolfenstein series and the Metro series are pretty good too if you're looking for single player campaign experiences.
You didn't state whether it has to be shooters, but if you like real-time strategy games and have a PC, you can't go wrong with Company of Heroes.
Call of Duty 2 was the best CoD, IMO. I hear the new one comes close, but I haven't purchased another Activision game since Modern Warfare 2 and don't plan on breaking that streak yet.
In general, the entire microtransactions, DLC, and $100 digital Uber deluxe versions of games need to die. I get that games are more expensive to make nowadays, but the entire upsell practice is not a good look. Normally I wait til later in a games lifecycle to buy it for $5, but that’s tough to do in multiplayer games.
That’s just wrong. They payed probably a lot of money for those exclusive rights and likely aren’t going to abandon making games if it is vocally boycotted for them making the game with bad intentions. On top of that, Disney is likely to freak out if this game generates a bunch of negative attention to the Star Wars franchise.
I'm just passing along the same thing I read on one of the video games news sites where it was said that if sales of Battlefront II is bad, then the license is in jeopardy. I hope not and I hope it's not true. Negative word of mouth has killed many good franchises before. It'll take more than a few dozen of boycotters, but guys like Angry Joe, et all have tons of reach and are already ####ting on the game (and none of them have touched the final release - only going by a couple of Reddit posts from someone claiming to have it).
