Max Wilco posted:I actually want to try Battlefield 1, but don't know how active the online community at this point. Ideally, I'd like to get it for PC, but EA doesn't seem to put their PC stuff on sale very often (at least not to my knowledge), and it means having to deal with Origin. I'm also a bit miffed at the fact that the Red Baron was DLC/pre-order content I've never had a problem finding a fully populated game on PS4. I mostly play Conquest or Operations, with the occasional game of War Pigeons. The community hasn't entirely fractured along the lines of who owns what DLC yet, as there's only been one expansion released so far (They Shall Not Pass), with the next due in a month or two I think. It actually has a pretty decent single player mode too, if that's of any interest to you. PS4 Pro seems to give a consistently improved frame rate, from what I've read online. My experience is that it can look very pretty. As you can tell, I'm quite the expert when it comes to gfx stuff.

To be fair, by 1918, the German stormtrooper tactics and weapons, plus the use of accurate artillery and combined arms meant that infantry combat was basically WW2 combat. A lot of lessons were learned during the Great War. Even by WW2, the most common weapons fielded by soldiers were rifles, but the number of LMG's and SMG's had significantly increased. Every platoon having assault troops, plus the realisation of the value of tanks and close air support, so bogging down into trench warfare just wasn't a good idea. So yeah, BF1 is still an anachronistic hodgepodge, with experimental and rare weapons all over the place, but it's not as bad as it seems.

Honestly my issue is that they set it towards the end of the war as it would have been a lot of fun to have campaign missions set in all of the famous battles of World War I.

So I just started Uncharted 4. Kinda digging it so far, story wise, but is it me or is the shooting really floaty and weird compared to the old ones? I haven't played them in a long time but I feel like they were tighter than this.

It's been said before, but gently caress Road To Nowhere. I honestly don't know how anyone is meant to beat that loving level legitimately. I did also take a break while stuck on it to see if the difficulty's any better in Crash 2, and good grief it's like night and day in comparison. Crash 2 doesn't seem to actively hate the player for one thing. And a major gripe with the games in general; On Hog Wild and its general level type, Crash doesn't wait for you to start, he just wiggles his eyebrows once and mounts that fukkin hog. It's nowhere near as funny as him just standing there, waiting and  to dare you to do it. Go on. Let's ride that pig to glory. Just press forward. Come on, do it. .

Tei posted:I think the problem is finding good story periods where USA fought. It's because from an American perspective, setting a shooting game during just about any war that isn't World War 2 is in very bad taste. And even a game where you shoot and kill Axis troops has its limits. No one's going to make a WW2 game where the end of the Pacific campaign ends on the atomic bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because it would piss a lot of people off--even if it was framed as something terrible. A video game set during the Vietnam War where you play as an American soldier shooting and killing North Vietnamese soldiers is not going to go over well. An American Civil War shooter would piss off the right kind of people, but a game studio isn't going to risk the backlash and loss of sales over it. You can get away with making a game set in World War 2 because even the nations that were Axis powers recognize those regimes were evil and because it is war where the fight against the Axis is generally agreed upon as necessary for the greater good. There was protest during the war and the Allies did some horrifying things to win it, but most people don't cringe at the idea of killing Nazis in a video game.

vietnam games do get made occasionally as war is hell type things (or purely as mp settings like in battlefield) but the market for that is smaller than the one for killing nazis

It's really great that people who always assumed the Crash Bandicoot fandom was built on mascot-love and nostalgia get to experience the goodness first hand now. Also I find a certain sadistic joy in the thought of an entire new generation of children being tortured by Crash 1

How is the ship variety and the general flying around in Elite? The last game of its kind I played was Rebel Galaxy, and that too (looking at the price) was a smaller team effort, and that one didn't have much of variety, although the few ships it had were interesting in design and sometimes not even straight upgrades. I expect some grinding, since it's a "work your way up from zero to hero" game, but how much of a splash can you make in the gameworld? Can you become famous in a sense that people will recognize you, or is the "fame" mostly you being able to undertake harder jobs for more credits so that you can buy more stuff? Also, are there any hidden secret ships or at least ship that you have to obtain by doing a particular quest and/or befriending some nation? And can you have multiple ships, and if not, how does the game handle changing ships - do you re-buy them or exchange them?

Rising Storm 2: Vietnam just came out but it's multiplayer only so one side is always the VC/NVA. So it kinda sidesteps the morality issue a little bit. It's a cool game

It should be noted that the Swastika is somewhat overrepresented in many pop-culture depictions of the german army in ww2. Obviously it was used, but the Iron Cross was much more common on army hardware.

Is it just me, or are the time trials in Crash 2 kind of unreasonable? I managed to get every gold relic in Crash 1, plus a decent amount of platinum relics, but in Crash 2 i can do a perfect run, without stopping and without missing any time boxes, and still be 15 seconds short for the gold relic.

I thought the shooting in uncharted 4 felt odd, but I generally don't play third person action games that have shooting sequences strewn about. Idk I think putting it on an easier difficulty doesn't take anything away from the game, except for maybe the one cool stealth section at the auction and later in the game. But yeah, that was my least favorite part of the game, coming across the villains' goons in Madagascar or where ever your are. I didn't think it would ever click with me but I killed everyone in Centrall Yharnam without dying like 5 times in a row finally and now I'm just terrified to go past that area to the cleric beast to activate the doll (gotta cash in those 5000 echoes baby, most I've ever had  ) and lose all of that when I die immediately to the cleric beast.What should I do: A: spend all those blood echoes on mad items as not to waste my items for nothing.. or B: Run into the cleric beast place, activate the doll (and the shortcut to the cleric beast) and then just grind in Central Yharnam again? Cause I do need the practice, I'm still really bad. Watching that epicnamebro guy's videos someone posted+my coworker helping me with some basic mechanics (also I didn't know r1 was like your main attack for some reason, so I was using the r2 attack on every enemy, so it makes sense why I would die really loving quickly). Also yeeaahh I'm gonna pass on getting PS Plus this month

If you have one, use it, then level up with Doll. If not, yeah, add a bold hunter mark to your quick select items, go spot Cleric Beast...then beam the gently caress outta there. After that look for short cuts in Central Yharnam and take on Cleric Beast if you want. He's an optional boss but a good test of skill. Weak to fire and serrated weapons. Also, it's well worth your time if you have surplus bullets to practice the parrying/visceral combo with the gun on those Brick Trolls to the left of the Central Yharnam lamp. You'll thank yourself later. Sounds like you're coming to grips with the game. Congrats. Now, GET AGGRESSIVE!

don't grind in bloodborne, use a madman's knowledge to gain insight; having a single point of insight wakes the doll up and allows you to level up
