I don't know how I missed it when it came out, but Far Cry Primal loving owns. So far it doesn't have the standard Far Cry story problem of "The bad guys are cool and I wanna join them instead of working for these idiots  ", you just gently caress off into the wilderness and kill other cave men and animals and get killed by animals. Throw meat to attract animals and use your BEAST MASTER powers to tame them. Now I have a sabertooth buddy.I was thinking I'd miss my .700 Nitro double rifle from Far Cry 4 but lmao eat poo poo, rhino  What a good boy   Buddy we hunted together I'm fine you don't need to bring me snacks  Also the old standby of throwing rocks is still there, but eventually you upgrade that poo poo to a sling that can loving kill people. Spin that rock super fast and bust someone square in the face with it, hell yeah.

Speaking of Elite, what's the grind like with Engineers nowadays? I wanna hot rod my Federal Assault Ship but when it came out all the requirements to just unlock the new merchants seemed ridiculous.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Depending on the last time you played, they've made every material drop triple -- so if you scoop up one widget you get 3 (sadly, doesn't apply to mission rewards) and eliminated commodity requirements so you don't have to fly 100Ly out of your way to get a box of screws or whatever. I stopped just about the time Engineers dropped. That's nice they tripled the materials though

Is this gonna be on the PC? Each time I look at a PS4, I'll check what games catch my eye and more often than not there is a PC release coming. Also for you Elite Dangerous types, how long would it take to get in on the Engineers business and start hotrodding my federal assault ship? I just wanna go faster and shoot better in a haz res, and have a longer jump range so I can go cash in alliance bounties a bit quicker.

Nuclear Tourist posted:Overwatch is the only online shooter I've ever really genuinely liked, but it feels like I've leveled up to the point of diminishing returns. Every time I go into a quick play game for some fun I get owned by teenagers souped up on energy drinks headshotting me from halfway across the map. It's like I'm suddenly in a skill bracket that's way out of my league. Same. When I first started playing I was holding my own and then some, but up until last night I had a week long losing streak. Doesn't help when matchmaking decides to put my fresh meat team up against some multiple star level folks.

Handsome Ralph posted:Titanfall 2 is really really loving good. Also online is fun for olds due to AI bots and Titan combat. There are still human opponents mixed in with bots though so keep that in mind. I really hope frontier defense comes back, I love a good co-op horde mode that's just you and some pals against the AI. Also yeah I'm getting a strong Mercenaries feel from Wildlands, could be a pretty good game with a bit more care to it. The beta shows promise, but I'm hoping it's older code cause if this is what they're shipping out in a month, it doesn't really bode too well.

Handsome Ralph posted:Yeah, as it stands, I'm waiting for reviews before I buy it. Tons of little things they need to fix, helicopter and plane controls for one. They did for one fleeting moment, but then it returned to it's lovely state with some mild improvements. A turd with some peanuts on it that floats around the bowl becauses you, the developer, can't figure out if you want to flush, plunge, or let it flounder so others can see your proud creation. Still no real end game content AI is still incredibly overpowered, including: 1) Not impacted by status effects like fire, tear gas, shock weapons, bleeding 2) One of their healing boxes has a big enough radius to fill a room, go through the walls, and fill half of the neighboring rooms 3) Never miss a shot 4) Turbo sprinting faster than the player can even with their "oh poo poo I'm in trouble gotta go fast" ultimate power active 5) Never miss a grenade, either thrown or fired from a launcher 6) Can still churn out grenades while getting shot in the face over and over 7) Can throw grenades far further than the player can 8) Can still throw out turrets, healer boxes, seeker mines, etc with zero cooldown. Have seen LMB guys drop three turrets at once inside of ten seconds. 9) Can hack your own deployed items, something the player cannot do. 10) Heavies will make a beeline for your deployed items, no matter where they are, to kick it apart. This involves climbing things they would never climb otherwise, and if they can't reach it, they just kinda freeze and sit there, tanking your 150k+ damage headshots. Player durability reduced time and time again Weapons nerfed due to PvP demands, despite PvP being the smallest group of players so the PvE folks are getting shat upon Player deployed items sometimes simply don't work at all. A flame turret lasers a target but does not fire, for example. Playerbase still dwindling as Massive refuses to really address core problems with the game, keeps adding peanuts to turd It really is too bad as the mechanics of the game are pretty fun, and I love the atmosphere in the DZ, but the cons far outweigh the pros.

Spec Ops was a pretty solid game, mostly because I got to shotgun dudes in the face to Deep Purple, but towards the end the enemies got super bullet spongy which somewhat lessened the joys of an automatic shotgun.

Two Finger posted:it's weird because i consider morrowind to be their best game, and that was janky as all gently caress in a lot of ways and was more or less endearing because there was so much going on Bethesda only published that one, though. Which explains why it's good and fun. Whereas for Bethesda written Fallouts, you have writers foregoing their own story lore, making "sacrifices to player choice in a role playing game in favor of the story", and then making GBS threads on fans via twitter when asked why either of those choices were not only accepted, but instituted.

While speaking with GamesRadar, Fallout 4 game director Todd Howard explained why Bethesda is including voiced main characters — male and female — for the newest game in the series, which is a big change from the third installment. "We know we sacrificed some great storytelling [in Fallout 3 by allowing] the player to do whatever they want," he said. Player choice in an RPG? Nah gently caress that there's the gripping tale of HATE NEWSPAPERS

Mustang posted:I've thoroughly enjoyed every Bethesda game and they're definitely the best at making an interesting, fun world to explore. The quests/story in FNV were great and definitely way above anything Bethesda has done but the Mojave itself wasn't all that interesting to explore. New Vegas was written by Obsidian, which incidentally might explain why it's vastly better than anything 3 and 4 offered. Radical 90s Wizard posted:Are they gonna let Obsidian do another Fallout? Cos that's the only Fallout I want. Considering how badly Bethesda actively hosed them over during production and after launch, I'd be surprised if Obsidian would want to work with them again.

Arc Light posted:There's also no way to end the game peacefully, even when it would be totally logical. The endgame requires you to totally eradicate at least one of the major factions, even if you're so high-ranking in that faction that you should be able to just order a truce. But really, nothing you did in the game up to that point mattered at all. You get the same two ending cutscenes, dependent on who you backed. In a departure from previous games, you don't even get a halfassed narration describing the impact that the player character had on the world around them. It just felt really lazy. Bethesda can do better. And in true Bethesda tradition, you become the head of whatever group inside of three quests. Also yeah not having any solid narration after everything ends was seriously lovely. Basically the best thing to come out of Fallout 4 was this:

The world looks amazing and there's chill ambient music off and on. There's still some minor quirks that I hope get ironed out before launch but I've got a good feeling it'll be an alright game. And I'm a huge sucker for co-op PvE. Plus with their being no PvP, there's no chance of things getting nerfed to placate them while making GBS threads on the PvE folks like what happened to The Division over and over again

Fart Sandwiches posted:This beta is a lot better than the last one. Graphics performance is better for one. On a 1080 the last beta chugged randomly but this time it's smooth as all hell with everything maxed. Also playing on the highest difficulty is the way to go. The second area they added for this one gives high hopes for the rest of the game. Anti air, alert sirens, power generators you can disable, well placed enemies and patrol routes, poo poo is really well done. The new area gives a much more mgsv feel. This really does remind me of MGSV without the batshit crazy bits and (to me) really tedious grinding of materials to upgrade your equipment. Resources are still there but it's not like you need a million units of fuel for some middle of the road gear. I love sneaking around bases and outposts, tagging everyone until all the red blobs on the map are gone. Then I turn on thermal vision and use my three dot laser pistol cause holy poo poo it looks exactly like the predator's laser  Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Anyone else stoked for Horizon Zero Dawn?
