I've been disappointed at how minimal the level destruction has been in Battlefield games since Bad Company 2 but apparently for the next one in the series they're making it a big focus so I really hope that we end up with maps similar to Bad Company 2 where they literally look and play completely differently near the end of the match. I feel the series has kinda been in a rut since BF3 and the maps have just been getting stupidly large.

Destruction in BF5 seems like a step up from the other recent games, the map looks completely different at the start vs the end of the game. They've put in that new build fortifications game mechanic to make sure points aren't just completely flat. It's a good game to jump into for half an hour when you want to shoot some people. Getting me excited for BF6 which I've seen a few rumours about.

I don't understand why they're hyping next-gen battlefield when it is also coming out on the Xbox One. It's not going to be next-gen lol. It seems that the most next-gen part of it is solely that the next-gen consoles get to play the 64vs64 game mode.

Idk but ea would be dumb to make a major 3rd party game for 10 million people when they could make it for 150 million people, absent some deal to sweeten the proposition

It's not quick resume, dq11 just doesn't suspend the timer at all if the game is still running. I ended up with like 700 hours.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Huge sale on the store right now. Kinda tempted to get the Borderlands Handsome Collection since I played 2 on PC ages ago and liked it but stopped for some reason. I haven't had a chance to dive into 3 yet and wonder if I should go through those first?

Also, COD games rarely go on sale but the version of Black Ops 3 with all the DLC (zombies & multiplayer maps) is actually on sale for once, for anyone that cares. Mentioning because they usually only put the cheaper version with the base game and zombie DLC on sale.

I said come in!

Youre supposed to fight each new enemy type once to laugh at the pun name and then run passed all the rest of the encounters.

As long as you have multi heal spells by the octopus boss you cant lose

Not positive I had multiheal by that fight but it was as trivial as every other boss. I just have everybody on autobattle at this point. i skipped basically all the normal enemies for sniflheim and still slept through the boss battle

i was thinking about it and we were still getting "legacy edition" games for 360/PS3 well into 2018 even if they weren't very good, so that's probably the same trajectory for next gen games being kneecapped by the older hardware imo

I'm reminded of Pandora Tomorrow, the only Splinter Cell game you can't buy digitally on PC because it leverages some weird GPU tech that GPUs haven't had since the AGP slot days and if you try to play it on a modern PC and circumvent the errors it has a similar loss of visual effects.

What should I be noticing here? There's seems to be haze on the right but I'm not sure if that's added because they have the processing power or if its there to obscure worse graphics.

Crushed blacks, lack of SSR and volumetric effects. It's obviously a bug but it's just weird that it even made it out in that state.

If you navigate to this website on your phone, you should be able to buy it there.

I've never been able to get any of the legacy store stuff to load on my desktop, but maybe it's just a browser issue.

idk I just tried it using these links below and I can get all the way to the "confirm purchase" screen. I already own Episodes From Liberty CIty on disc so I'm not gonna try to buy and then download it unfortunately but it seems to work just fine through the 360 store online

it's weird that they don't offer Episodes From Liberty City as a bundle, at least that I can find. considering that they're charging $20 for Ballad of Gay Tony alone and that I bought the complete set on disc for that price about two months ago, it seems like a huge ripoff to just buy the DLC from the store, if you're set on acquiring it I'd try to find a retail copy for cheaper
