Yup. Had those issues.
Or re-spawning me three time right in the middle of the rebels.....not fun. Not fun at all.
Still, it's a co-op game I can play with my friends, so not a dead loss. Just feels distinctly unfinished.

Last night I downloaded and drunkenly played Town of salem It's some sort of guess the murderer game where you have to convince the other players to co-operate and hang people. For some reason the SO spent two hours convincing everyone it was me in every game :(
Yep, at least with Blast there are no objectives to worry about so its just running about shooting each other and Fighter Squadron is really fun once you figure out the need to decelerate to target and how to evade missile locks.
I haven't tried Supremacy and the droid escort one because I'm kind of leery of objective based games now, but might give them a shot. also Boba Fett seems incredibly overpowered.
I've been playing co-op with my 7 year old cousin who is so much better at it than me.:rolleyes:
We need a proper X-Wing/TIE Fighter game again... though it would be better with a joystick, IMO (which isn't going to happen, because kids these days don't seem to know what a joystick is). An X-Wing shouldn't have a shield boost, it should have certain power for shields and weapons and the ability to shift power around, adjust your shields, all that jazz.Quote:

OK town of salem is really fun. Went on for a couple of games pre fallout 4 session last night. Never got round to playing fallout 4.
Even when you lose it can be great. One game I was vocally telling people who the mafia were and begging protection at same time, and they hanged me so I had great fun with the "I told you so" when the town lost. But its was so fun.
Battlefront's Battle of Jakku DLC launched today, alongside a patch. I have to say it is very good, the new scenario Turning Point is the first objective based game I've had where people seem to pay attention to the damned objectives lol. There is a full on battle happening in the sky and wreckage is everywhere and you are fighting in the wrecks of AT-ATs and crashed ships and it is a fantastic map. The same map is used in Fighter Squadron except you are flying over it obviously and its gorgeous too. There are some other maps used in the regular scenarios which I haven't played yet.
Town of slaem again, I was running with Gaunts ghosts themed character names, and got serial killer role as lijah fething cuu, also got executioner as gaunt. I lol'd. Probably more than I should have. It would have been funnier if the other players got the references as well.
Starting to enjoy Fallout 4 after a distinctly false start.
Got a mate round tonight, so there may be some multiplayer nonsense had.
Try Battlefront co-op if you're still playing that, much fun.:)
Yarp. Nothing like a bit of classic split-screen :)
Assassins Creed Syndicate is pretty good, the twin main characters are both quite interesting, though the guy is still something of a blank space for white boys to project themselves onto, but Evie is amazing, love her to bits. Game is fun too, same old gameplay but seems to be more polished and the story is fun so far though I haven't progressed far at all.
Haven't fired that one up yet!
Have you played assasins creed before? There you go it's just like that.Quote:

All direct quotes from long rant.
Kinda feel sorry for her as it's one of her favourite games of all time.
I am quite looking forward to it to be honest, the original is now available on everything with a screen, so I think it is ok to change the remake.
I have been playing The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. got it on PC when it was early access and loved it, now it is free on Xbox One this month with Gold membership. seem to have had a glitch though, played it on Thursday, came back to play some more on Friday, and the difficulty had ramped up and the enemies had respawned. it feels as though the difficulty setting has gone up, but you can't change it once the game begins, so I can't see what it is on now, or bring it down again.
She wanted a straight HD remake. Hates the new battle system from last couple of games. Phone is still buzzing with vitriol. Not a happy bunny

"guy now running things has a boner for action based combat and its ruining what they were"
I do sympathise, but for those without the nostalgic attachment, FFVII is quite hard to get in to these days, I can understand Square wanting to modernise it and bring it to new fans.
I've not got that nostalgia cause I had a N64...
likewise
I was really looking forward to Just Cause 3, but apparently it has utterly horrific technical issues on console, and I am not sure my PC will run it.
I did see a post on r/pcmr that shows it a good two or so points higher on IGN's PC review than the consoles.
But really Just cause 2 was horribly broken - playable yes, but still horribly broken.
First one put me off for life. Awful, awful vehicle physics.
I'm in my leetle tank, bombing it along. Just for laffs, decide to run over a Scooter rider.
Net result?
Scooter rider slightly wobbles, my leetle tank and I wind up upside down in a tree. On fire.
Just......no.
Just Cause 2 was amazing. don't know about the PC version but it was spectacular on Xbox 360. so much fun, loads to do, huge, ran perfectly. so incredibly disappointed to hear that 3 chugs horrifically. apparently the framerate drops below 30 any time you try to do anything adventurous, and the load times are so awful that everybody avoids doing any crazy stunts because dying is such a chore. When I heard the initial reports I decided to wait until it was patched, but a lot of the issues sound like they are so fundamental I don't know if they can actually be patched.
I played it on PS3 and PC.
On both the AI and physics were all over the place.
On PC I had to borrow an xbox pad as all the aerial stuff was literally unplayable with a mouse and keyboard.
It was great fun. It was also far too easy.
one of the best open world games of the last generation, sticking people together with the hookshot, or sticking pursuing vehicles tot he road so they flipped over never got old
oh dear

still, Ace Combat 7, which will be awesome.
I haven't played one of those since it was still called air combat.
I absolutely loved Assault Horizon, still my go to air combat game, so fairly excited for 7
Totally understandable. It sounds like they might be making a reasonably fun game, but it's not an "HD remake" like they told everyone it was. That's a complete remake of everything but the story.Quote:

Its starting to sound like a new game wearing the skin of a supposed classic.

I totally agree with this, I liked the original but I don't have the time or patience to slog through that game to experience the story, the game on its own is not enough fun to keep me going, believe me I've tried several times. I think modern audiences are the same, it's not realistic to expect people to sit through a 70+ hour game anymore because these days we have the tools to show most people don't do that, I wonder if we had the same analysis tools as we do now, how many people gave up on FF VII and where?Quote:

Just look how Dragon's Lair was received by the gamers. It was a desaster. An interactive film with no gameplay worth mentioning.
Todey we see Until Dawn where the "game" is pretty much "move forward, press X, watch cutscene -> repeat" and the "game" is selling. There is a reason why delvelopers go for grafics and story while the real opponent and difficulty is nowadys "handle the ****ty interface". It shifted from enjoying the game to enjoying the story and any interruption, or gods forbid playing the same game for for longer than a week, is unwelcome.
Heavy Rain? Beyond Two souls? Very little actual gameplay.
Even God of War is just button bashing followed by QTEs.
God of War is superb button bashing though.
If you like button bashing...
And I do!
Also, Deadpool game has a next-gen makeover. Might pick it up if the price is right (under £20 for my tastes)
See I played about three levels of that and got bored. I think Streets of Rage was the last button basher I actually enjoyed.
Deadpool I played for the comedy. It's a middling game, but very, very funny.
