The first game was like that too. The voice acting and writing felt like some b grade / amateur effort. But the moment to moment gameplay was tense and really fun (granted after 7 years of patches). This likely as good as the original but I’d still like to give it a shot.
Can only speak about DL1 and for me it’s one of those games where it’s all about whether the gameplay loop hooks you or not. The story and characters - often caricaturish - are just there to add context to the moment to moment fun which imo was great due to the sandbox and free flow nature of it.
Sad. It’s nowhere near as good as it once was.
I agree, but it’s still the best online shooter out there.
I mean the mechanics haven’t really changed for years. It’s more all this shit with the game size, constant updates, toxic community, the sheer overload of skins, weapon upgrades, etc.. and being bombarded with live events and pay to win stuff that plagues most AAA games these days.
I haven’t really played any online games, apart from the occasional rocket league round, for the past 3 years. Struggle to find the time. I didn’t really mind the weapon upgrades as the grind was usually fun
I much prefer Insurgency: Sandstorm - more measured and using cover, and less running and jumping about as fast as you can!
Quality game! Terrible community.
I thought it was widely accepted that Destiny 2 had set the bar for FPS shooting mechanics? At least that’s what I always see mentioned online despite not really being into multiplayer / online games.
Ah okay. I’m not really into the genre to be fair.
I play coop so you don’t have the toxic PvP side of it!
Surely not many? It's just not very compelling this time around...
Agree. I’ll probably get it in 2026 when the PS5 starts running every major title at 30fps. Given I only game on this platform, would make sense to upgrade then. Hopefully by then the price would have fallen a little.
Yes. It's a little louder than the original but cannot be heard over volume of a game. It's noticeable as the original was basically silent. But nowhere near as bad as previous gens
I agree – although think will get one mainly because of GTA 6.
I guess its time.... You have one don't you Damo?
unfortunately there are...
Yeah, I use it a hell of a lot.
ive got mine arriving tomorrow (the anniversary one) I dont have my PS5 connected via ethernet. How bad will it be or is it passable?
You've passed me! Even more reason for me to come back!
is your PS5 wired or do you use it via Wifi?
I’ve tried both and it didn’t seem to make much of a difference, so i stuck with wireless as it was easier. I have a good WiFi mesh system in the house though which helps. Only room I get stutter in is the kitchen where we have no point. Everywhere else is perfect.
Glad daddy likes.
We all did! We know feck all
Do you ever stop being you?
