Is playing ace combat 7 with the ds4 a viable option or do you need one of those expensive twin stick flight sim set ups that are only for right handed people?

Also is it a worthwhile single player experience or is it mostly geared for multiplayer?

Ace Combat 7 is not a flight sim, nor are any of the Ace Combats. You do not need anything other than a controller.

If you’ve never played an AC before the single player may not grab you for $60 but I would say it’s mainly a single player game. It’s sort of the equivalent of the “silent protagonist” FPS single player but with a much stronger sense of the world and people around you. There is multiplayer and it’s okay but it’s not an especially robust mode.

gently caress Hollow Knight is a cool game. Every time I think I've got the map figured out there's another really interesting new area. This is honestly one of the best games over played in a while. So hard to put down. The boss fights are wonderfully done.

I am actually enjoying Inquisitor: Martyr quite a bit but I am so sick of console ports with absolutely garbage performance. Playing Martyr in multiplayer is shocking. It just runs like trash. I was also really looking forward to playing ECHO and the framerate was so bad.

It’s a separate, shorter campaign. VR is pretty cool because you actually turn your head to look in the rear view mirrors, but because of PSVR’s limited resolution the image you get in the mirrors is tiny. On the other hand I feel so much more urgency to keep my eyes on the road in VR that I hardly ever peel my eyes away to look in the mirrors.

It’s super fun overall but the resolution limitations are pretty obvious

Earthfall: I got this for 10$, I trough.. how bad it can be?

Is pretty rough, bugs, primitive interface and most important, the movement and shooting lack finesse. It feel like a bad FPS, and these are rare since most FPS get the shooting and movement right, then add everything else.

If this where Steam, I would ask for a refund.

It's the polished culmination of a decade's worth of development techniques from the post-9/11 era of gaming. It's sort of a dinosaur in some ways for sure but it's also an example of nearly everything that was good about games between 2006-2014 specifically, all rolled up in a package that delivers on all fronts. Apart from everything that has been said about the story/SP it also shipped with the single most compelling and original multiplayer mode of the last 2 decades, and later dropped a story DLC chapter that blew the debate doors off of what types of themeatic content were seemingly allowable within the framework of a mainstream studio release. So much analysis has been written about the game at this point that TLOU design critique is pretty much its own genre. Try replaying the game and then watch The Rootwork Building, a critical analysis of the thematic and interactive structure of the game, where a bunch of the psychological design techniques of the game are sussed out and explored in fine detail.

Why don't major game companies have a few professional actors/presenters on staff full time, whose job is present at events when the time comes and study the material the rest of the time.

It seems like a pretty cheap fix to this problem.

It's the one non-tutorial mission that was in the Alpha, although a bunch of it seems to look different than how I remember it being.


Maybe? From the sounds of things short term all they're doing is finishing the season pass content and making it easier to get into it while long term goals are nebulous.

They really ripped off Warframe with some of these character designs.

I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?
Little shocked that some of you started up one of the newer Assassin's Creed games then dropped it because it was too similar to the older games. I was in the mood for an AC game a few months ago so I started Origins. I came very close to dropping it because it plays almost nothing at all like the older games, especially early on. It did start feeling more familiar once I got fairly far in the game but the combat, the loot/upgrade systems, even the drat menus are completely different. I eventually began to like it but it's absolutely not Assassin's Creed. For a very long time, to me the game felt like it started out as a completely different game that they just slapped the Assassin's Creed name on midway through development.

I'm honestly baffled that anyone could play it and think it's much like the old ones at all, especially near the beginning. Any similarities there are really don't begin to show themselves until halfway through. :confused:

I really hope they eventually make more in the old style at some point. I'll definitely play Odyssey eventually but if I'm actually in an Assassin's Creed mood, I'll replay the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Rogue, or Syndicate.

Yeah the recent Asscreed games are a real departure. They're more like action RPGs now. You can certainly spec assassination skills so that your backstabs and long range options are deadly enough to clear out places unseen, but there's a much bigger emphasis on combat and numbers going up.

They still have the core of the games but yeah when Origins was being developed they overhauled and changed just about everything in some way. They still scratch the itch that the old ones did but imo everything is much improved. If you spec for being a stealth assassin it feels like the old games but much better. Here’s a helpful article about getting that old assassin feel. When I pick up the game again I’m going heavy into that direction.

I'm not bothering with AC again unless they really step up their mission design from origins. They had most of the puzzle pieces for a good game there. But it still boiled down to Ubisofts low effort mission design. Everything I have watched from odyssey looks liek more of the same. Even if I sort of want to play it, I know I'll get bored after about 8 hours like I have with literally every other AC game.

To be fair I think I enjoyed Origins for a good 15+ hours before I dropped it. Making it my most played AC ever.

I know I've said it before, but Ubisoft just makes me mad because they have hit the point where they make such nice looking open worlds and I really want to play them, but to me there is just nothing compelling to do in them. or even if it is, it gets old eons before you are done with any of it.

To be fair I doubt you’ll ever like them and I don’t see Odyssey being for you. The Ubisoft/AC flow is like crack to me and a lot of people but if it doesn’t click then it doesn’t click. Odyssey has far better missions than Origins but it’s still the same general formula.
