Hey, remember when they remade the OG Xbox's Duke controller as a Xbone-compatible pad? They're doing that again for the Xbox 360 controller.

They just added a hilariously broken railgun that is basically hitscan one hit kill so I’m sure the servers are excruciating at the moment.

I feel like there should be a rule for gaming like there is for movies where you should never remind anyone of a better game with your game. Anyway I'm starting to feel like someone at DICE is trying to signal for help between Battlefront and 2042 sounding so similar to 2142. Trapped in lovely annual franchise, send help

quote:

The probe will focus on the supply of mobile browsers and browser engines; and the distribution of cloud gaming services through app stores on mobile devices, the CMA said today.

In a press release announcing the opening of the in-depth investigation, the CMA said responses to the consultation had shown “substantial” support for a fuller investigation into how Apple and Google “dominate the mobile browser market” and how “Apple restricts cloud gaming through its App Store”.

Its PR emphasizes the strategic importance of mobile browsers — noting that “most” people use a mobile browser at least daily to access online content, and adding that 97% of all mobile web browsing in the UK last year occurred on browsers powered by either Apple’s or Google’s browser engine — giving the pair huge power over users’ experiences.

Yeah once the new CoD launched and did fairly well for a AAA launch the BF guys had to know they're hooped.

The time to put it on battle pass was 6 months ago.

I didn’t care for it personally but BF1 was the last legitimately good battlefield game. V and 2042 were just disasters.

Sekiro is like 50% off for Black Friday in Aus. For whatever reason it never gets super cheap but if you don’t have it you should get it.

Dragons Dogma is cheaper than an iced long black. Might have to double dip since it looked like butt on the switch

grave always controls like he's waist-deep in mud, which is made worse by there being no stick sensitivity or invert aim option. there's no auto-fire unless you mash RT four times in quick succession, which makes you enter an autofire mode that roots you to the spot. gun feedback and enemy damage feedback is weak. dodging attacks is near-impossible due to the sluggish movement. the idea behind the combat seems to be to just tank hits while building up a combo meter and occasionally batting away a missile, and the lack of defensive and evasive options makes every encounter stiff and dull. there's a very noticeable half-second skip in the soundtrack whenever a song loops

if you're going to do a ps2 throwback then give me something like psi-ops, not this nonsense

IIRC they've set up a new studio led by one of the original creators of Halo to make a single player game set in the 2042 universe.

Take that as you will.

stop staring at me

I've been playing BF2042 but it just really hasn't been grabbing me. Since BF1 was on sale, though, I picked it up again (having played it extensively on PC), and I'm having a blast. 2042 isn't bad—at least not anymore, from what I hear—but it's still a rather steep drop in quality from the old Battlefield games

It is 2022 right? A game released in 2022 without invert aim?
