I somehow managed to jump across the gap to the MDK secret on like my second try. After going through it backwards I got to the AC units and jumped on one thinking it would lead to even more of this insane secret, then it fell off the wall to the ground shortly after I jumped onto it. I thought it was just a way down without fall damage or more secrets or something.

I tired to get back over later when looking for THAT ONE LAST GOD DAMNED SECRET, and I couldn't do it anymore. Jumping seems inconsistent sometimes. I got across by doing some weird strafe jumping just right accidentally I guess. I couldn't do it a second time, but I got close.

Edit: I also love the way the dispenser sounds. Everything about how it sounds is just right to me. Especially the reloads.

Civvie had a hard time with the piano. Reminds me of Myst, my whole family is tone deaf and got stuck in the rocket ship until I did it for them.

It leads to a secret level apparently.

To this day I've never seen where the rocket ship takes you. All I know is that it's on rails from seeing the making of feature. And it's for this exact reason.

I guess this is worthless to say because everyone will automatically agree with me but... the fall damage is too high. It could be perfectly half of the current amount.

Also, around third level of third episode the game get serious, now it isn't that easy.

There’s no real need for this game to have fall damage imo. I get that the other Build games have it, but it’s not like that was what everyone loved about them.

Yeah I’m playing on the highest difficulty (not sure if that has any bearing) but I was shocked by how much damage I took from certain falls. It was like Call of Duty-level fragility.

I was thinking the same. The game almost seems to want you to make action hero leaps, but then punishes you. No need.

Yeah the fall damage does kinda suck. Reminds me of Tron 2.0's absolutely brutal fall damage, where if you jump from a height of two crates or more at full health it's enough to either kill you or leave you at near death.

Everyone should play DUKE games.

:dukedog:
The best fall damage will always be Deathtrap Dungeon because you could take fall damage while walking down stairs normally.


For real though the Metroid Prime games did it best. You take no fall damage ever but if you fall from certain high heights you're stuck in place for a second or so depending on how high. That'd be cool to see in a more action focused game since you have to think about if you want to drop four stories down or whatever to a certain spot for faster progress/whatever reasons but also know you'll be immobile for a solid second and a half if you do. I was glad that the platforming in Doom 2016 felt a lot like Metroid Prime's (even having the impact compensators active message or whatever).

I have really bad news for you about how you do the piano, because it's matching tones.

The secrets in this game are fuckin nuts. I wouldn't even have thought about trying to do the piano or have understood the clues if Civvie hadn't had talked about it.

That's not bad news for me because I said I was the only person in my family who COULD solve that problem. I play a half-dozen instruments. Its everybody else that's tone deaf, not me.

So I just booted up Ion Fury and played for a couple minutes. Game looks great so far and I can tell I'm going to have fun with it, but...am I wrong in that there's no subtitle option? If so that's very disappointing, particularly in 2019 :smith:

Didn't it have like...three "releases", too?

EDIT: Yeah something like that:

quote:

Battlefield 5's official release date is 20th November, but you can play the full game on 9th November - if you subscribe to Origin Access Premier. That's the full game available to play 11 days before it launches proper if you're willing to fork out for EA's premier version of Origin Access, which costs £14.99 per month or £89.99 per year.

If you have Origin Access Premier for PC, you get to play Battlefield 5 on 9th November, and you get all the Deluxe Edition extras, such as (deep breath) five sets of paratrooper outfits and the chance to take on special assignments and starter assignments, 20 weekly airlifts, the Firestorm Ranger set, one additional Special Soldier set, and immediate access to five Battlefield 1 weapons.

If you have the basic version of Origin Access, you can play on 9th November, too, but your trial is limited to 10 hours. It's the same with EA Access on Xbox One - that lets you play a 10-hour trial on 9th November. PlayStation 4 users are out on the cold on this one.

The trial gives you access to all multiplayer modes and maps available at launch, as well as the prologue and Under No Flag single-player War Story.

Moving on, we've got the Deluxe Edition of Battlefield 5, which, if you pre-order, lets you play the full game from 15th November - five days early.

And then you've got the bog standard edition, which lets you play on launch day, 20th November.
