@SegataSanshiro I honestly enjoyed Andromeda for what it was there was no way it could out do the original 3 but the combat was awesome and I enjoyed the story. I really think people build up stuff to the point nothing can compete. I can only download the 100 MB also which is wired will try closer to friday
I hate this purchase I am sorry until I know that the ME remaster is good I feel like EA is where good game companies go to die now. I also feel like they will shove every microtransaction they can for some ultimate team bs. to play madden franchise I have to go through several screens of them wanting me to buy card packs just to get where I want I really am tired of it. For fun I opened madden 2002 on my playstation 2 and the franchise mode was breathtaking just do not know where they went wrong.
Honestly all this stuff means nothing to me the biggest difference this gen has meant the loading times. I feel like the games I play are all massive hogs like the fallouts and skyrims the looking better is cool but when I can get into a game in less then 30seconds and enter a new building and it pops is the greate4st thing ever. Going back to these games I recently tried ME1before we knew about this coming out with the idea of playing all three through again and the elevator's load times was brutal it was impossible to play now.
I preordered this a long time ago sent the info to rewards if I do not here from them in a few days I am going to cancel and reorder through the rewards dash board I am just hoping they can fix it.
I already preordered this I tried playing through the first one again and the loading times were terrible especially in those elevators I really hope they fixed that. I am looking forward to playing the whole series. I am not to worried about andromeda which I enjoyed the combat was spectacular and I had no interest in anthem. To me I want them to say Bioware is a single player studio with great stories I hope I am not burned.
@Chaudy Ya im a little further in right now but I am only playing the games of the 1st and last pitcher in the rotation and I am doing player lock so I never see my teams at bats we are a little above 500. I am trying to make some trades but really focused on my scouting as the diamondbacks budget is small. Hopefully in two too three seasons I can have a contender. I have one a lot of 1-0 games.
Has anyone played yet? I loaded it up even if I am miffed at them for the Georgia nonsense. The menus in franchise are hard to figure out I am sure I will get used to it. I have earned about 5 achievements so far it is really fun. the fact that it lets you pick the control schematics that work for you are nice. I started with the diamondbacks trying to build them into a winner through scouting and drafting it has everything Madden's franchise should have. I was just messing with the contracts of free agents and back loading or front loading and scouts I could hire and fire that is neat.
For me one of the biggest deciding factor was that most of my online friends were made with the original xbox when it went online. Can you say ghost recon island thunder? So that has been a big factor then the 360 was the original home of oblivion and mass effect which also was huge. So games do play a big part just not the only part. there is just no playstation exclusive that I am enamored with I really didn't enjoy days gone or the last of us. I am really looking forward to fable I hope it is not three years out. If I can play basically the same games then being able to play with the same friends I have made over sixteen years is really my biggest deciding factor.
@Krzzystuff I agree with what you said there is now I win button in Eso they have added some quality of life things for instance once you have collected all the skyshards from a zone with one guy you can pay to not have to collect them on all your other toons it is per toon so could get expensive, but if your like me I have 13 guys that are at the cap when I started a new one I had little interest in all that grind so it was nice to be bale to buy that. My only issue whit them ever is I feel like the crown crates take their priority but that may be a need to keepm pumping out the content and the loading from the character screen . If I had to rate it today I would give it an 8/10 it is a fun game for me.
Well have to see if it is just a scheme to entice you to spend more money. If they make it so the getting them is reasonable time frame wise this could be great. I play on my pc and have been from the start the game has come a long way then back slid a little bit with the jewelry grind. The antiquities system is my favorite system in the game. The one thing that is terrible on the pc and I do not know about the console is that the loading time to get from character select to in game is horrendous its like mass effect 1 elevator slow. Going from zone to zone once in game is really fast.
@aj102404 yep they saw all that cash 2k and EA was making on micro transactions and ruined road to the show with their greed. I bought the playstation 4 just for that one game I did find some others that I really liked. With out being political I will not support any baseball product until they get out of politics. I am tired of being told how I should think by these corps that only moral is how much cash can I squeeze out of you but think you should live to some hire standard.
I really enjoyed the game bugs are bugs and maybe they over hyped themselves it not running on the xbox one was no big deal to me it runs fine on the series x. So you guys remember how bad dragon age inquisition was on the 360 and was never fixed that. I'm going to so another play through soon my fav part is the hacking
If any of the 2k ones win we need to get some drug testing done. Wwe 2007 is one of my favorites we had some great times in it and played it at my bachelor's party it was great
Right now I am good on games. I will be getting mass effect I recently tried to play on series x and the elevator loading times killed it for me. I understand they changed that in the remodel. I am also looking forward to crimson dessert. The one game that I really want to finish is cyberpunk I really liked it but ran into a game breaking bug that needs to be patched before I risk doing it again I losses about 10 hours due to it
@gingataisen ya its been a long while I really got into more rpg open world games. I was thinking about it today I used to play the nascar games and the forzas or grand terisomo and tomb raider stuff. Now I mostly play fallout skyrim and that kind of game I do enjoy far cry and the division.
I am really wishing I didnt buy the stealth 7 from turtle beach already they are great headphones but its hard to pair them to a pc once they are paired to an xbox in fact you have to use an xbox dongle to pair it with the pc even know they have blue tooth.
great article do more like this please. When I first got an nes my mom bought a game called crystalis fore me I did not know you could save and would start over and over. Once i figured out you could save games that was amazing. I have lots of good memories of oblivion from horse armor to the shivering isles still think that is the best expansion I have played for any game.
I have no issue with it I think the big thing to look at is how does this benefit Xbox players? If you have gamepass it is huge for you because these games will be on it day one included in the sub. I think that is what is most relevant to me. If it comes out on ps5 does not really bother me If it does not come out on ps5 it is a little sad that not everyone can play it but that's life if you want to drive a corvette your going to be buying it from Chevy exclusives have been part of life for a long time.
@UltimateOtaku91 I don't really like being lumped in with a bunch of fools who use twitter to communicate their needs and wants. I don't understand the console wars thing at all From day one I have been an Xbox supporter becuase they had morrowind and I did not have a oc and it was amazing. Other then the Kinect and Xbox one launch I have been very happy I did own a Playstation 2 and four but wont buy a ps5. My biggest thing with the acquisition that I want answered is what are they going to be changing about Zenimax online will ESO for the pc join gamepass now? I do think it will be cool that all of bethesda games will be on gamepass day one thats great for me since ubisoft and bethesda account for most of the games I own and really enjoy.
@KilloWertz lol true my favorite things were holdouts front and back loaded contracts having offensive and defensive coordinators that kind of stuff and of course good gameplay on the field.
The 360 was a great console I my fondest memories were of oblivion + shivering isles and a ton of ghost recon multi player plus some rainbow six. For whatever reason the xbox one just didint have the same multi player pull for me I am hoping the series x rekindles that magic with my friends and I.
@KilloWertz all they care about is madden ultimate team and selling those stupid card packs franchise is basically worthless its to bad because they used to have some great features.
I just want more info on Fable and Starfield. One of the questions I have about Fable is it going to be an open world or more confined like the previous games I recently went back and played all three one is ok two is really good three was just terrible.
Well this is good news they should focus on single player... Do we think that they finally remember making good games = cash? I remmber when EA fames were great I hope we can get back there some day. I did not like the single player jedi game they released recently mapsd to confining for me but it was a good game. Squadrons is soooooo much fun.
I enjoyed the game right up to a game killing bug and just couldn't make myself start over. Over all the game was disappointing I let myself get hyped big time and that's my fault for buying in. I still had fun just not as much as I thought.
@Krzzystuff wouldn't subscribe just for that either. We subscribe for several of their other shows like blue bloods and fbi we don't get cbs where we live and don't have cable. We subscribe to cbs all access have disney + from xbox perk and Amazon prime but that is included in the price for membership. All the streaming services can add up to be more than cable if your not paying attention.
This is total bs how long are we going to let the pandemic be an ok excuse every time a company doesn't want to do the right thing it is the pandemic bs nonsense just say the truth were not willing to fix it because it is too much work and money. I never played anthem but I do remember them promising to fix it. I am done with Bioware and EA in general they just run stuff into the ground and if it can not be madden or fifa ultimate team gambling packs they do a ***** job.
