EA has actually gotten way better it seems mostly, Ubisoft though, they're the ones making just really bland, if mostly technically proficient, games

Titanfall 2 is really really loving good. Also online is fun for olds due to AI bots and Titan combat.


Played the Ghost Recon Wildlands beta this weekend. Feels like an updated Mercenaries. Kinda hope they tweak vehicle controls and some other things, but otherwise, I think I might grab it next month.

There are still human opponents mixed in with bots though so keep that in mind. I really hope frontier defense comes back, I love a good co-op horde mode that's just you and some pals against the AI.

Also yeah I'm getting a strong Mercenaries feel from Wildlands, could be a pretty good game with a bit more care to it. The beta shows promise, but I'm hoping it's older code cause if this is what they're shipping out in a month, it doesn't really bode too well.

They haven't made a game that I've liked for a long time, is all.

They didn't really make the game at all, per-se, just backed it

Yeah, as it stands, I'm waiting for reviews before I buy it. Tons of little things they need to fix, helicopter and plane controls for one.

Also, I keep hearing The Division is good now. Any truth to that statement?

Just finished updating the game on the PS4 today and so far the first two hours are exactly what I remember from when I tried the game at launch (and returned in the two hour steam window). Just now seems a lot less lower level players to do things with. Guessing most of the changes are for end game content.

Should have mentioned, I played through the main game at release and sold it after getting to the end game and getting bored with it. Maybe if it drops to tenbucks again I'll grab it.

They did for one fleeting moment, but then it returned to it's lovely state with some mild improvements. A turd with some peanuts on it that floats around the bowl becauses you, the developer, can't figure out if you want to flush, plunge, or let it flounder so others can see your proud creation.

Still no real end game content
AI is still incredibly overpowered, including:

1) Not impacted by status effects like fire, tear gas, shock weapons, bleeding
2) One of their healing boxes has a big enough radius to fill a room, go through the walls, and fill half of the neighboring rooms
3) Never miss a shot
4) Turbo sprinting faster than the player can even with their "oh poo poo I'm in trouble gotta go fast" ultimate power active
5) Never miss a grenade, either thrown or fired from a launcher
6) Can still churn out grenades while getting shot in the face over and over
7) Can throw grenades far further than the player can
8) Can still throw out turrets, healer boxes, seeker mines, etc with zero cooldown. Have seen LMB guys drop three turrets at once inside of ten seconds.
9) Can hack your own deployed items, something the player cannot do.
10) Heavies will make a beeline for your deployed items, no matter where they are, to kick it apart. This involves climbing things they would never climb otherwise, and if they can't reach it, they just kinda freeze and sit there, tanking your 150k+ damage headshots.

Player durability reduced time and time again
Weapons nerfed due to PvP demands, despite PvP being the smallest group of players so the PvE folks are getting shat upon
Player deployed items sometimes simply don't work at all. A flame turret lasers a target but does not fire, for example.
Playerbase still dwindling as Massive refuses to really address core problems with the game, keeps adding peanuts to turd

It really is too bad as the mechanics of the game are pretty fun, and I love the atmosphere in the DZ, but the cons far outweigh the pros.

Gonna give up on the sniper medals and just try to ride iron sight rifles to level 10, which suck in a different but slightly lesser way

If you're still bothering with medals at this point then I dunno what to tell you. I haven't touched them since week three or four. Apparently there are some that require things as stupid as, say, spot assist kills, but squad spot assist kills don't count.

When I had the realization in week two that squad assist didn't count for assist and vice versa I completely stopped working for any medals because that's just a terrible system. Plus the experience boost doesn't really help with anything at all.

the fox engine was fantastic. too bad that it's locked away forever in konami hq

kojima is using guerrila's engine for their new stuff, which he praised very highly- they said that they collaborated a bunch on it, which is a product of the contract that he signed with Sony. Kojima brought the guys that made the fox engine with him, so i'm not worried about him using the horizon zero dawn engine

id kill for a full series creating in fox engine
