It will assign you a random buddy if you don't pair up with anyone.

blackguy32 posted:MGO's buddy system is clunky poo poo. I like the system itself, but trying to buddy up at the beginning of the map is more difficult than it should be. Your party should all be put into the same freeplay area before starting a round and you should be able to buddy up from there in a way that lasts across maps. The freeplay area being single player only doesn't make any sense. The area is totally barren and useless except as a shooting range.

Yeah put me in the camp of "not impressed with MG:O". I played for a couple of hours yesterday, and it was kinda fun, but not mind-blowingly awesome by any stretch. The ranking unlock system strikes me as one of those things that's horribly broken and in a few weeks entry level people won't be able to compete with higher ranked players. I'd be surprised if Konami doesn't offer a pay to level up system, if there isn't one already. I found myself much more inclined to go play destiny or some other shooter that was designed around being a shooter, not a stealthy action game with shooter elements forced in. Granted MGS:V has the best shooter feel of any Metal Gear, but it's still pretty janky in comparison with other games. There are some flat-out bad design choices too. I managed to get stuck in a lobby with no way to back out except for restarting my app. Ultimately I'll probably play it a handful of times more and never look back.

Sucks as a shooting range too cause you dont get the red reticle to help you feel out shotgun ranges and such

Can you change your class in MGO? That whole part was pretty poorly done since they just tell you to pick one without giving specifics or letting you try it out.

Once you set a class for a character, you are stuck with that class. You have to create a new character to try something different.

BottledBodhisvata posted:I'm trying to hook my PS3 back up again. I have a poo poo ton of Sony Playstation composite cables (with the three colored prongs) and an HDMI cable and neither of them appear to be working. I plug it into the AV In section on the back of my TV and nothing. I plug in the HDMI and nothing. I even swapped my PS4 HDMI cable and plugged that into the PS3 and still nothing. I'm quite perplexed, can anyone help me out? Is there some obvious thing I'm failing to do? I can't get signal on either the AV or the Component input settings on my TV ( a Haier HD TV if that helps) This sounds similar to my old PS3 problem; while the original AV cables worked fine, HDMI constantly resulted in no output, and resetting my video settings never seemed to make a difference. I don't want to take it in to get repaired when I plan on selling it once my backlog is cleared, has anyone here had to replace the HDMI hardware in the console itself before?

Played the Battlefront beta for about an hour yesterday and my early thought is: meh. When I started playing and I wasted some dude with awesome Star Wars blaster sounds, I was pumped. From then on things just started to slip. The 16-player mode they start you out on feels way too small but the map seems too big. I was also getting pummeled from high up by people with jet packs that you apparently can unlock at some point. I was stuck on the ground and our team got annihilated repeatedly. Went on to the 40-player map where you either defend Hoth base vs AT-ATs, or attack the base and have to keep the AT-ATs alive. It's a lot more fun, but I still don't think it captures the Battlefield feeling they are going for. One of the big things is that there are huge cannons everywhere. AT-ATs, mounted emplacements, etc. They are all over the map, and a lot of the map is big and open and flat. So you get wrecked from afar with no chance to defend yourself, often right after spawning. The sounds are cool, and the first time I ran around a corner and Luke Skywalker kicked my rear end was neat, but I didn't really feel it had much else going for it. The second time I saw Skywalker I hopped into a turret and blew him up. The map sizes seem too big in trying to create this grand scale to things, the one-shot cannons all over the place really kind of suck, and the skylords are back (at least on the Hoth map) with X-Wings and Tie Fighters. Will be interesting to see how more modes and more unlocks change things, but right now I don't see myself dropping $80 CAD on this.

I don't think Konami really gives a poo poo, but it could be a really fun game if they'd add some way to match people of a similar level so noobs aren't getting put up against people who are at max level, and also add host migration. It's bullshit that you can go all the way through a match and then the host quits or drops and you don't get the xp. Like either have dedicated hosting so it doesn't matter or add host migrations, that's FPS 101 level poo poo. I checked the stats for funsies and the top ranked person in each gametype had like 300k points  Like holy gently caress that's a lot of poopsocking in a few hours.

A reminder for those who picked up the 30% off Canada E3 deal: a few games, and Star Wars Battlefront is among them, got lowered to $64.95 briefly since then. If you pre-ordered during E3, you'll be able to get it for $64.95 with 30% off on top of that (and then tax/shipping as appropriate); a few games have been in the $52CAD range after taxes for me, when a "new" purchase would be about $40 more than that.

My reasons for justifying buying Battlefront and being excited for it are sad because they are the same reason I wanted the games like Rogue Squadron when I was a kid. "I wanna play Battlefront because you get to be a stormtrooper, and fly an X-wing, awesome! Oh man I can tow line the at ats? Cool cool! Pew pew pew I love laser guns, haha I am playing as a wookie with a laser crossbow cool!" I really am the worst kind of fanboy. That being said, it will be nice to play a shooter for once where you are shooting something other than Arabs or Nazis.

I'm still on the fence about battlefront. BF4 was a kick in the dick on the computer, and I never got to play it like it is intended to be played. I hated the original battlefronts because again it was all about jetpack domination and tiny maps. Also the star wars guns and space ships were never satisfying to use. It sounds like Hoth needs more hills and snow-drifts. Most of the turrets in the movie were for defending against capital ships in orbit (ion cannons); they only had a handful of turrets set along the trenches, and they were exceedingly fragile. From what I remember the AT-AT's were invulnerable against the turret fire, which is why they had to use the snow speeders to trip them and hit them in their unarmored necks. Hoth seems like one of those maps that should be divided into parts like in BF4. Once the trenches have been over-run you move into the base and clear it out, and finally finish it up by hunting down the evacuating ships as they flee the star system. Can I get access to the battlefront beta from the ps store or do I have to buy a pre-order? CountingWizard fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Oct 7, 2015 |

If the new battlefront has really large maps, I hope that mechanized infantry is a thing. Deploying dropships and trucks of troops sounds pretty dope.
