I finished the story yesterday and here’s some of my take aways. I won’t spoil anything. Graphically, damn. Looks great. Sound for the most part is good. I was confused with the voice acting choices though. I get that the main character sound American (and a total wimp) but if the game is based in Europe, shouldn’t the voices of the enemies reflect that? Gameplay is ok. I found the movement to be really slow and clunky even after getting the upgrade that improves movement. Gunplay was fine most times but felt really snappy. I haven’t touched the extra mercenaries mode but from everything I’ve seen, it’s the same as previous interations. As for the all important story... I found the pacing really good at first. The opening area and the two that follow were well placed and felt like RE7 with the exception of the first boss fight. The third area felt like an actual terrifying section. Again, I won’t spoil it, but trust me. It’s good. The ladder half of the game though felt really weird. Lots of combat, and I mean LOTS. At a couple points, it felt like I was playing a hoard mode and found it frustrating. Once the credits roll, I honestly had more questions then answers. It was an ok experience. There’s lots of replay value with it so I’d think an 8/10 would be a fair score for it. RE4 is still my fave of the series.

FOV looks a bit nasty so I hope you can change that plus I don't like how ME1 has the Andromeda UI. Hopefully the gameplay will stand the test of time but the story will definitely hold up. They probably could've done more with these remasters especially with what's been achieved on PC with mods but I guess they don't detract too much from the originals at least. I can't see myself paying £55 for this - maybe if they were £14.99 individually then I'd grab the first two but even with a game drought right now, I wont be getting this.

From the footage I've seen I tend to agree. Not very impressed at all. It appears to be a bit of a cash grab but I suppose it's decent enough for anyone who has never played.

I really like the red one, definitely going to invest in one of those in the future, always handy to have a second controller 😁

Well at least Sony got our memo that the FG colours are the way to go 😎 Getting a black controller with my pure white console gives me OCD anxiety, however the red one I could dip for if a controller breaks in the future.

Yes lads ! Yes ! I still play BF4. It is so so good and was criminally underrated. Who needs CoD when you can have these all out wars. Even though i will still be on PS4 cannot wait to see what is coming

I present to the FG Server... the Wolf Sanctuary... where I am building a wall around this Meadows section... and letting all the wolves eat as soon as the 1 star deer and boar spawn from the sky into their mouths. For sale, we have deer hides, leather, and some wolf pelts from heroic wolves giving their lives to the pack to protect it from Surtlings, Trolls, Skeletons, and some wayward Fulings. Although, a few wolves decided to test their might against a hoard of Lox... For those looking for shiny things to adorn themselves and friends, we have Black Metal bars in addition to Silver, Iron, Copper, and Bronze. May you happily wander onto my Wolf Sanctuary and enjoy your visit.

£65/$75 for red £60/$70 for black They do look very nice to be fair but quite expensive. Peripherals is where the profits are though so Sony be cashing in

It took the merchant and upgradable weapons and utilized it well. The gameplay is completely different. I feel the movement and pacing of the 3rd person perspective wouldn’t mesh well with a 1st person view. Plus, 4 was a game for its time that revolutionized a lot of gaming cliches used now. The camera is never a problem in this. Just be cautious about your environment so you’re not backing into a corner.

the red ne looks bad ass!

So I've heard that it was being teased for June which is really good news that we're hopefully not far away. We've now had confirmation through one of their sales calls that whilst BF6 is being created specifically for next-gen in mind, it IS getting a PS4/XBox1 version as well. So thats great news and a big banana skin avoided.

So, I didn't get chance to play this as it past me by when I was younger. Owl always raved about it and I ended up buying one of the later series just for the MP. I probably should shift more time to play SP games cos of the story in this one. I'm worried about how much the controls and gameplay are outdated though so would be good to know if they've revamped them in any way for this edition.

Andromeda is so shallow compared to the trilogy. You can tell there was so much potential and that so much was stripped away to make deadlines. You can see that there were thoughts on how to really expand bases on planets.. and have more planets. The Quarians were left open for another installment. I wanted to love it. But, it just wasn't there. When you read about the development of Andromeda and Anthem, you can tell that it probably came from the same idea, then split into two games. So sad. Finish Andromeda just to put the story to bed, but know that it is nowhere as complex or deep as the original series. The amount of emotional awe I got in ME2, especially when I came upon Garrus... I don't think BioWare has ever topped that. Even when I played ME3, I found myself racing to find him again. "There's no Shepard without Vakarian." Even if you didn't play that route.. and went Shepard with Tali or Liara... it was all still "I need to find my companion." And, Garrus was still always there to be your best bud lol. So, yeah. I definitely am looking forward to doing a fifth playthrough on the trilogy.

Mass Effect was the first game I bought when buying my Xbox 360, that and Oblivion. Fantastic game and ME2 was more of the same but better. ME3 was the best looking of the bunch and the only one I played on PC. I also get Andromeda out from time to time but still not finished it😁

Anything close to BF4 will do for me as that game was my favourite fps game of all time...
