There is a driving section mission. It is by far one of the most annoying gaming bits I've played for ages. It wasn't fun at all. I had to turn the game off after I'd finished that mission because it pissed me off so much.

Yah bad guy, "you can't prove a thing. Ah, ah sucker". Ok then, boom head shot. Problem solved, bring on MW3 That, truck chase was pretty dumb also. Chasing 100 trucks on motorcycles when you have a helicopter that can fly ahead and bomb the road. Makes a lot sense

I did them, many of them are rather frustrating. Don't want to spoil anything but alone and prison break particularly annoying Ghost team was a shit show. One that one you get all of 141 in a mission with the mexican special forces, yet it seems like your the only person who brought a gun. If ghost is so shit out why doesn't take a shot or two to back you up. The mexican spend the entire boss battle hiding behind a crate. Why did you come along then Hesse. I just wanted to shot him myself but the game wouldn't let me

That's why I play all of my games on easy. I play games to have fun not to get pissed off at them.

Off to see this bunch tonight 🙂

Done a few missions of the campaign and haven't really enjoyed it so far. Actually I'd say it's very frustrating on veteran and some of the early missions are incredibly generic and boring. Cutscenes look great but it's a very typical story we've seen a million times over in COD. Hopefully it'll improve but it's nothing we haven't played before and the AI along with mission design is very lackluster although some of the visuals are impressive. Veteran is brutally unfair - it's not difficult, it just feels broken. Too many times enemies pop out of nowhere or skip multiple frames to kill you in one hit. They can pre-fire through any surface too. So many trial and error occurrences. Missions also seem pretty short. Hopefully things will begin to improve but the first 3 were nothing short of dreadful.

I played some of the campaign last night. I enjoyed what I played. It sure does look nice as well.

Episode 16 is LIVE on Youtube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts! Sarah's Dead????? No, she's just contracted the plague that I had the previous week. At least she has a Steam Deck to play with. And yes, I went on a rant about Sony, @IRaMPaGe 😂

There’s some really bizarre mission design choices. The most ridiculous level I’ve done so far was the AC130 one where you and your team are tasked with capturing a known terrorist whilst providing Overwatch support - this resulting in the deaths of about 50 suspected assailants, wiping out an entire compound and then destroying a village. All this to capture the person, interrogate him in a desert at night with the usual chit-chat for 2 minutes and then letting him go because of not having any evidence!? It’s almost a TLOU2 standard of error-strewn amateur writing. The mission after that begins with some promise although it painfully tries to mimic/tribute All Ghillied Up and then deteriorates into you raiding buildings with about 10 enemies in each but despite being on your own to do this and the bases being on high alert, the 30 or so enemies are too scared to confront you head on as you easily wipe them out from above. Also Price just leaves you to your own devices without any logic - not that the AI provide any meaningful help in any mission. Don’t think I’ve played a mission yet that isn’t let down by shocking AI, archaic design or incredibly frustrating gameplay issues.

Wow you got lots of veg there, I’m to old for an allotment, I have enuff with garden, can I ask? What’s the purple spike looking plant called, it’s very nice. Like ive said, I just plant and pray, mostly they do seem to grow, but I couldn’t say what each flower is called lol. I have taken some seed pods from some plants for next year, not really done much from seed, just normally buy from shops or garden centre.

It's on both, but you have to actually find a map, GPS and compass for it to work. If you're not actually carrying a map then no, pressing M will do nothing.

In theory but I think I'll mod a better version in.

I'm pre-loaded and ready to go. I enjoyed the Beta. Hopefully it only gets better. Will be playing on XBOX however

My rugby team gets every COD and I think this is the year I'll bite. So I'll see y'all on crossplay.

Still on the fence about getting this straight away. Loved MW2019, especially the campaign though. Hm.

So this will be my last post for a little while as I think now it's time to get to grips with the system and really enjoy it but to provide another update. Last night I had another play, I now have GTA V up and running, so that means Epic games work and though GTA is getting on a bit now it is still a fairly demanding game and the deck runs it fairly flawlessly (I did turn down settings to medium just to max out the performance and it was lovely). In addition to that, I may have mentioned that I like the idea of taking some of my retro games with me. Lugging round a CRT and SNES or Gamecube is obviously not practical so I looked at setting up the emulation side of things. I at first tried to install a couple of emulators separately, the PS2 one ran ok but the dolphin emulator wouldn't detect the steam deck controller and buttons. Looking about online I came across emu deck, turns out it's a script you can download and run and it installs and sets up all of the main emulators for you including dolphin. So gave it a go and it was incredibly simple, got it up and running and just loaded up fire emblem path of radiance (something on my to buy list but depends on how much my work christmas bonus is this year) and it seemed to start up really well and looked fantastic. I will give it a proper go later on today but the deck is really impressing my with it's capability at the moment.
