If they botch this game I fear battlefield might truly be dead and gone. That will be a sad day if it happens.

I am not letting myself get excited for another BF game until I see trusted reviews saying this feels like 2,3 or 4.

It looks like it might be heading the right direction but I got so fucking bamboozled with 2042 that I will never trust them again. I mean I should have known better before then but I was a hopeless dreamer and wanted bad company 2 back.

Oh I don’t doubt it.

I just don’t play those types of games much anymore. Now that I’m an old man by gamer terms I prefer racing games or more relaxing coop games with friends. I’m less and less into fps games sadly. Used to be my bread and butter.

I’m a 93 baby. 2004 2as my first unreal game. I never went back and played the original sadly.

Flak cannon from unreal tournament 2004.

Having a shotgun and a long range AOE explosive round was just too much fun.

Doom… Eternal.

I would install GOG on my dad’s computer and buy it for him just so he could relive the glory days lol. Beating racer x was so hard for me as a kid haha.

Awww man. No Lego racers? My dad loved that game when I was a kid. He would get so frustrated when he couldn’t easily beat a racer I was struggling against lol.

Top of the line suspension. There are actually multiple spots on the track where they will briefly be entirely airborne. It’s where a lot of rider crash actually. If you don’t land perfectly you can very easily lose the bike. There are lots of slow motion shots of two sliders flying over a crest side by side and both going airborne next to each other. Absolute insanity.

No what’s insane is these riders will fly past spectators mere inches from a wall at speeds upwards of 200mph.

The highest recorded speed of the riders on one of the straights is 206mph I believe. The record for highest average speed of a lap (which is nearly 38 miles long) was 136mph in a little over 16 minutes.

Insane doesn’t even begin to describe these riders and that race.

Midnight club 3 dub edition was THE game my brother and I played to the point the disk stopped reading eventually. That was a sad day.

If you’re getting into motorsports in general and you liked rally I might recommend checking out the isle of Mann tt. It’s the single most deadly motorsports event held each year. It averages more than two and a half deaths every year. Last year was super rare in that nobody died. Last time that happened was like 2012 I think. The most insane race car drivers in the world will tell you that nobody is more batshit crazy that the Isle of man riders. Even rally drivers look at them and think they are nuts.

I vaguely recall hearing that his son had no interest in running the company but that was also years ago. Hopefully whoever is set to take over when he goes shares his exact same views on keeping the company private.

Only time will tell.

Gabe has stated several times that as long as he is running things he will never go public and let it get ruined like that.

Once he’s gone though I suspect steam will sell for 18 quintillion dollars to Microsoft or something.

It’ll probably go to shit immediately afterwards.

Yeah. It feels like you’re playing a better game with saran wrap on your mouse or something. It just FEELS off.

I think for 10-15 bucks it would be fine but for 60 bucks it just wasn’t worth it to me.

I played it back when it came out and I didn’t enjoy it at all. Game just felt flat and unsatisfying.

Maybe it’s better after updates but I don’t really see how they could fix the issues I had with the game without completely overhauling the game in major ways.

They are gonna have to pry windows 10 from my cold dead hands. I was sold 10 on the premise that it was going to be “the last windows OS I would need”.

Fuck you Microsoft.

Nah man that’s totally fine. Enjoyment in video games is very subjective.

I hated far cry primal but many people love it.

Really? 4 is pretty much regarded as the best one by most fer cry people.

When I made a survey on the far cry subreddit the top 3 games were 5, 4 and 3 was in third place lol.

Really? The coop was the most frustrating part. Only the host can get the super powers? You gotta play the whole game basically twice on both people’s saves in order for everyone to have super powers. That’s just lame and poorly designed coop.

I played it for an hour at a friend’s house. I hated it.

For a game with no guns the melee system is going to get a lot of use. It’s incredibly basic and boring. The ranges weapons didn’t appeal to me.

I never bought it for myself or played itore than that.

That’s makes a ton of sense then. Well I would highly recommend 3, 4 and 5 as well, but those games might end up tainting your memory of 6. Or who knows maybe playing 6 first will make you not really like the other ones.

If you were only going to play one other far cry game I would recommend 5 as it’s the most recent title while also still feeling like a “proper” far cry game.

You didn’t miss out on much. I think 3,4 and 5 is the perfect “trilogy” of far cry games. I love 2 and blood dragon, but they just aren’t the same as those 3 strong games.

Did you play any of the other far cry titles or was that your first? Because in a vacuum I could see 6 being fun, but when you go into 6 expecting a game like the other far cry titles it really fell short.

I think 5 is my overall favorite from the series but 4 is probably the most “far cry” of all the far cry games. I really did not enjoy New Dawn or 6 at all. I actually had to force myself to finish 6. I kept starting it and losing interest after like an hour. I went back and played 4 and 5 again after I beat 6 just because I felt like I needed to wash out the bad taste 6 had left in my mouth.

Was 6 the only Far Cry game you’ve played? Because I’ve played all the far cry games and 6 is one of my lowest ranked games from the series personally. I’m curious why you liked 6.

Couldn’t have happened to a better company. Fuck you Ubisoft. I don’t care that you have made some of my favorite games ever. You’ll never get a fuckin penny from me for the rest of time.

I tried to like this game but I refunded it after a hour and a half. It just did not interest me whatsoever.

Pretty much everyone I’ve talked to about the game has neutral to slightly positive things to say, but I don’t think this game was popular enough first time around to warrant a remaster already. There are so many better games that should be getting a remaster first.

I played a ton of battlebit when it came out. It was fun for a bit but it got stale kinda fast and then everyone I knew stopped playing

Sounds intriguing. I’ll definitely check it out.

Hmmmm… Sounds potentially interesting. I’m guessing I don’t have to have played the first one before I play the second one?

I’ll probably throw it on the ol wishlist and wait for a sale.

I know literally nothing about this game and I mostly play FPS or racing games. What even is this game and what does the actual gameplay look like? I don’t give a crap about stories as I always skip them. I just want to know what the actual gameplay loop consists of.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Not a big achievement guy but that one I will remember with pride haha.

They even gave Hitler one testicle. It may or may not be accurate depending on what you read, but it’s still hilarious to shoot Hitler in the nuts and when the X-ray kicks in he’s only got one nut to begin with.

I’ll definitely wait for a review or some gameplay footage before I give them any money but if it’s anything like the first game I’ll also probably be giving them money right away lol.

The first game has online servers that people host. Usually a blast. The occasional crybaby host. I have spent many nights just crashing into my buddy and trying to take each other out of each race.

Sometimes we will just look for an empty server so we can mess around “alone”.

I don’t believe it supports split screen and I haven’t tried LAN.

The single player campaign of the first game took longer than I expected and was harder than I thought (if you care about getting 3 stars on all races). Some of this races you need a fast light car to win, but the challenges require you to take out a bunch of people meaning you have to do it really intelligently while not losing too much paceborndestroyijg your unarmored race car for example.

Unless they really botch this game (kerbal 2 style) I think this second one will be even better than the first.

I am actually hyped for this. The first one was so much fun. If this one is just more of the same with improvements I will so be there.

Yeah this is EA we are talking about here. I have my expectations below the ground, but I remain open to the idea of being happily surprised lol

If this is basically battlefield 3 + I will happily spend the money and time playing a battlefield again.

If this has any of the BS that made 2042 suck so much ass I will be skipping it.

I miss having a solid battlefield game to play, but I’m not going to take any bullshit included. I don’t wanna see any fuckin wingsuits. No grapple hook Tarzan mother fuckers. No wall hack BS.

I want 4 classes. I want team objectives. I want maps that look like shit by the time a match ends because everthing has been pretty much been leveled by explosives.

I’ve been outta the console game for ages, but you ain’t kidding the PS5 only has~800 games currently. The PS4 has over ~3,500 lol.

Some games lend themselves better to modding. Some are much more complicated to mod. Some games need a mod manager to do conflict checks and some games can just have mods piled on top of each other endlessly without issues.

Mods within certain game engines can pretty much be moved between games ofln the same engine often with very little adjustment.

I would say in modern modding it is usually fairly straightforward, but some games and some older mods definitely require some deep computer fuckery.

Stick to things you’re comfortable with and skip the ones you aren’t.
