I love the series, but this is by far the worst, the campaign, the gameplay seems almost identical to MW2...and there are so many bugs, one of which means I cannot hide from killstreaks due to the new ghost aspect crashing my loadout, and some addons causing a similar reaction. Additionally the gun damage is all over the place. The increase in the speed players move is something I really hate, its like shooting hornets ffs.
Yes the Campaign is live....but without ruining it for people...what an utter load of crap! After MW2s excellent campaign, MW3s was clearly some seasonal content they botched into a campaign for MW3. The devs should be hanging their heads in shame.
How can MK1 be a 10? The tower aspect is shocking! They are static and offer nothing compared to previous versions. Invasions?(The Krypt variation) is a joke...looks like something from the xbox 360. And when all events offer "koins" as appose to fatalities and items, the "Shrine" when given 32,000...offered me 22 pieces of concept art as rewards. I have played TShang Tsung and have over 600 kills...and yet I still not earned another fatality, and have 3 colours of the same outfit...I mean wtf. A lot of the moves like for Scorpion and SubZero have hardly changed at all. Yes the game looks quite good on the surface...but when you finish the story...the rest if dross to me.
The delay doesnt surprise me. What with Crew Motorstorm and Forza Motorsport due out any time soon, NFS Unbound on gamepass...the delay means next year they may pick up the bored driving players instead of competing for sales this year.
I played the demo, which seemed to have lots of aspects of other games bolted together. I played a few classes and really didnt feel much that grabbed me. The game admittedly was a demo, but felt so repetitive I could imagine it getting boring after a while.
The main pisser that seems to come across most of the reviews Ive seen is that the story is completed in less than double figures and is repetitive as hell. I was hoping the multiplayer might be good but likewise that seems limited. I think this is another title that could have done with another 6 months/year in production.
I am looking forward to it, but if a game has been in production as long as Redfail, which is an absolute heap, I hope Starfield isnt the same. If its garbage I swear Im selling my xbox, Ive had enough of the half finished, slow assed heaps they call games these days, its insulting to think they want monthly subscriptions or70 quid for a game...pfff.
"what can we learn?" You just dont buddy, you dont learn. You get lazy and produce garbage. You think people like us in the gamer community are sheep and will play any old crap you throw at us....well we wont, produce some quality stuff before the ship sinks mate.
After playing the game solo and with friends for a few hours now, heres my own thoughts for what its worth. Theres a few things that really dont help this game from the start. 1), Like with Ghostwire, you genuinely have to fiddle with the controls to even play the game normally as its waaaay off, the curser zips around in a wierd way like it gets a turbo after 1 sec of moving it. 2) The game starts so slowly, the game feels so bland and boring. The game does pick up most definitely, I played about 3 hours with another player and it was not bad. 3) The game def feels unfinished, very beta like. Character models and the environment seem very basic and unfinished. The game has a day and night cycle, but there is no indicator telling you if nightfall is coming, its bizarre. 4) 30fps?....the game is far from pushing the Xbox and its 30fps, this is a joke. At times it felt like 10fps. 5) Found lots of annoying bugs and problems, got kicked from game, especially in multiplayer. Also we found player floating and sinking and other environment glitches a fair bit which was annoying as hell. 6). They could have made the game way more immersive and creepy with better sound effects, its quite lifeless as it is. 7)The worst thing for me was no matchmaking, I mean for a multiplayer game...really? I felt this let the game down a lot imo. If this is the best Bethesda offer, we are screwed at Xbox.
I'm Prolly going to make myself a dart board here....but no, not happy. Im really debating GP of recent. How friggin old is Pod Racer, and the other nonsense. Recently, we have had Coffee talk and they put Quantum Break on, they said that was leaving GP twice, its not a bad game but its from 8 frigging years ago man. Dont even get me started on Minecraft Legends, its legendary alright, but not how the developers consider it lol. I am probably putting all my eggs in one basket here and hoping RedFall will be good, otherwise May is smelling off to me in regards to GP.
This game looked to have great potential...but my main concern was the control mechanics, people having to tweak the control settings to be able to half way play the game is insane. I tried all manner of things and trying to hit anything was like trying to poke a fly with a pin.
Its a shame really. The game itself isnt that bad, somewhat linear but still not bad. But man...what were they thinking with the control mechanism? Its like its lagging out and speeding up. Trying to hit ANYTHING is almost impossible. I have to admit, I fiddled about with the settings and gave up...I bet thousands of others did the same., which like I said in the beginning, is a shame.
Unbound is a game I really loved. But typically EA made it, gave it and as usual, pissed off down the pub gloating in their own brilliance and weren't heard from, so prolly went out-out if you catch my drift. I know so many players that have walked away due to ongoing issues like unbalanced and broken cars, limited amount of races, which is essentially the two things the games about...utter shame the update may fall into the laps of just a few
Hi Buddy, glad to be of use. I am still in a quandry about getting it, I love Diablo/PoE type games and this seemed up my street, but its been met with backlash of hate already....could you let me know how you get on buddy please?
I had to search for it....but have played about 15 games, its not bad, but the combat I found frustrating, by the time I pulled out a turret and switched to my gun I was dead lol. not a bad demo....not amazing, but not bad.
Like a huge amount of people I spent ages trying to get past the first boss. Upon finishing the first stage of the fight I was like "Finally"!...then stage 2 started. I gave it all I got, and googled some tips, but after about attempt no 59 I gave up. So like a high majority of players we will never experience a high proportion of the game due to this problem...shame really.
Hearing lots of technobabble for simple and existing features...not seeing anything that new...and agree with Kaloudz, the Oled is like a chocolate teapot. How about finding ways to elude stick drift?
