I've been fun hacking and slashing in Dynasty Warriors, but I'm getting tired of it, so I'll probably be back to playing BF exclusively within the next week or so. Always willing to switch games though, just shoot me an invite and I'll hop over. I need to get back in the MAV anyway really.

Everyone seems to act like the single player raped their mothers. It's a perfectly acceptable way to kill 3-4 or so hours. You know the plot is dumb so expect that. I just want to shoot mans in pretty set pieces and that's what the single player gives you.

And unskippable in-mission cutscenes.

The player is actually borderline retarded and gets praise all the time. It's really set up to be some sad kid's VR make-a-wish before he dies.

Pretty much. It's not the worst campaign in the genre, but it could have been a lot better too. It's only there to cater to the CoD kids.

I really haven't been playing much because I enjoy flying the attack chopper and transport.

Dancing palm tree.
I played Battlefield 3 last night. It has some very revolutionary features that I hope they include in the next game. For example, I was able to edit my class loadouts from the main menu, which was very impressive. I then played Noshar Canals conquest and Damavand Peak rush, it was pretty amazing. I was only able to equip one type of tank shell, which meant I was forced to aim; very challenging.

You think thats revolutionary you should go even further back and check out Bad Company 2. They had this feature where you didn't rubber band all over the place or crash. It was nuts. I don't know why they didn't keep it in for BF4.

You clearly didn't ram cars into other cars in BC2 like you were supposed to if you never crashed.

YES! I love taking critical damage from landing softer than a butterfly on my skids made of dynamite. That is impressive taking 85 damage from the front skid touching the ground.

I've landed little birds on the same helipad I took off from after spawning and took 50% damage.

But I can ram into a million helicopters in a jet and be fine. Sometimes I can ram a few trees.

To be fair we never had this problem on the Xbox version, back during the halcyon days when the Xbox ruled and the Playstation did in fact, drool.

It's a pretty established phenomenon at this point though. I would say spend a bit more time flying to properly experience it, but I'm no masochist.

Alright kids. It's been a lot of fun playing with y'all, but I've determined that I need to get rid of my PS4 because it's too much of a distraction for me right now. I should focus on my art instead.

In other news, anyone who wants a PS4 I have one for sale. $360 shipped. I'll give anyone in this thread who wants it dibs before I make a SA-Mart thread.
Got some other accessories too.
