With this being a PS Plus freebie, I may have to replay this series over the Christmas holidays. It's a shame there's no MP in 3 anymore. That was really one of the best parts about it.

One of the default classes has this. I think it's the sniper class with the signal 50. So I am not sure I agree since one of the best snipers comes with it out of the "box" Apparently if you get the XMR to level 28, you unlock it as well. So if you are willing to work for it, you don't have to pay. The XMR is a free battle pass gun. You have to unlock it however

I think it might have to do with other achievements. Like a certain number of gold AR cammos for some other cammo or something. I for one have grown frustrated with trying to get it since I always do with randoms. Half the time they don't even have a mike and then other teams will be camping the extraction and steal the gun. I also believe that only the person carrying the gun gets it if they do extract. Which means if you are with randoms and carrying your team mates might let you get screwed over just so that they can pick up and extract. I am of the same mind set as you, I don't want it if I didn't earn it. There are plenty of better guns so I don't feel that I am missing on anything. The cammos I kind of do for fun but most of the time I don't even equip any of them so it's not that big a deal for me. I think Chris however is trying to get every gold cammo in the game and good for him if that's his goal and that motivates him to play the game I suspect the gun will be available in the battel pass come season 2. So if I get it before then great, if not I don't care. I'll just keep rocking the Icarus or the AKs (all 3 are awesome)

Yep, possibly the most annoying levels in all of gaming 😁

Andromeda had a lot of great elements but the overall package and execution, plus the way they dropped it, was a disgrace. I've got the ME reboot free on Origin and I've never bothered installing. But yeah maybe sitting on the sofa over crimbo may tempt me.

A yes, Cro-guard all the way. Mass effect was the best and then they went and fucked it up with andromeda

Yeah it’s seen as very much the OG of colony survival games and that genre has become quite extensive in recent years and with some pretty big hits too. 10/10 from IGN

Anyone picking this up? It's getting great reviews online, certainly something different so may have to treat myself. Sent from my Samsung S9+ using Tapatalk

The Iki Island expansion is really good as well. There's a little hook that Jin deals with for the most part of the game, but It's more Ghost of Tsushima goodness if you've been waiting for more. Seriously one of my top 5 favorite games of ALL TIME!!!!

The turret levels.... Fuck. those. I agree with 2 being the better game. Shame they shit the bed with 3.

Fair play to them, I've been checking tutorials, which means I'll probably be on it after my current Rimworld phase. Apparently Rimworld actually borrowed a lot of ideas from this game.

I got mine in less than 3 minutes - just spawn, locate a vehicle, drive to the area immediately, mow down the chemist, grab the gun and then extract quickly. Bit of luck here and there required but it can be done in a few tries at worst and you don't even need to bother equipping a weapon either. Whether being able to give the gun to others was intentional by the developers or not, COD probably has the least integrity these days from players and the devs so if there is an easy way or backdoor, may as well take it as it wont make a blind bit of difference if it's achieved legit🤣 Gun is gonna be obsolete in no time anyway and it'll probably get shadow-nerfed as it is.

This bundle has a rangefinder scope for the new sniper rifle. What makes it OP is it equates the bullet drop and range. Sounds like an unfair advantage if your willing to pay. 🤔

Unequip everything on you XMR at level 27. Cap a few flag and you got yourself a level 28. There are a number of example on line I have used it. The blue print version with the thermal optics. It's actually very good and worth using.

That makes sense, DMZ is a lot of fun though, I'll try and go for the weapon myself at some point but maybe when I'm not solo 😁

I do agree with you mostly but if I’m grinding camos and what I’m doing isn’t working it riot shield and pistol time. Getting XP now for weapons by playing the objective is one of the best things they have done for grinding

DLC incoming. It looks mostly PvP based, but if it's what you're wanting, then YAY!! Elden Ring Gets Free Colosseum PVP DLC After Months Of Fans Begging KOTAKU.COM Days before The Game Awards, FromSoftware has finally dropped the long-awaited DLC announcement

I agree with you if you are playing to play. If you are doing the cammos or challenges, you just have to stick with a shitty gun

Dwarf Fortress hit its 2-month sales estimate in under 24 hours | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM I guess losing really is fun.

Does anyone have the gun? I was wondering if one person did if we could get together and they drop it. Pick it up and exfil. Rinse and repeat that was we all would have it. It’s driving me crazy being a completionist and not having it. However I could care less about DMZ

I saw an article that analyse the difference between Elden Ring and Elder Scrolls Online, let me find it. Here it is: Elden Ring VS Elder Scrolls Online

Yea, legends is way better with a group of friends.

Did the Legend tutorial to try this. Did a survival and a story. Died alot in survival 😄 Reached rank 5, and it's a mode I think I will play more!

Yea probably about right, I platted it in around that time maybe more like 60. I did new game plus as well on lethal which added a chunk

Wow!!! Sounds like its something i could really burn some hours on 😁😁

If you do all the side quests it's a 70 hour game. I did them because they help unlock all the special moves and weapons. And because they were all done really well story-wise.

Not sure but single player base game I'd guess around 15 hours

I have basically mastered it at this point, played it to death. The new rivals stuff is good, probably some of the best stuff theyve done. Considering its all free as well is crazy.

Mate, its actually fantastic if you can find a few people to play with...although it matchmakes anyway so they'll be people you can play it with. Really good missions with strategy and stuff to do to get through each one. Tom @LordBaguette would vouch it for it more as I think he maxxed out all his playable characters he loved it that much 🤣

I heard the online part (Legend) is kinda neh, but the guy who said it don't really play co op/online much. Will have to give it a shot, after reading this. They really could have made a few more different looking npc's though!

Got my head down the last couple of weeks and concentrated on getting this game completed. So glad I went back to it. The story, including the side missions, is top drawer. The choice of endings is nice too. Will go back and platinum it at some point as I'm already close and will try the multiplayer as well. But a break first as I've barely played much else.

The ps5 upgrade makes this one of the prettiest games I’ve played. Really nice. If you have a ps5 and haven’t played it at all it’s definitely worth a look. The multiplayer for this game is pretty enjoyable. I heard they are, or maybe they already have, going to make it a stand alone release. Not sure who’s gonna buy that instead of the full game, but whatever I guess.

Kind of, its a 2v2 mode where you kill waves of enemies but competing against another team

Tom @LordBaguette , let us know what you think as I know you've picked it up now (appreciate you've already completing the game twice). Also, SkillUp has said whilst its good, not sure if the extra island gives anything new so it could be like Phil said above on the samey samey side.

It's a good game but gets a bit samey samey, I should really go back and finish it.

The directors cut is so tempting. I haven't played the game at all but have heard so many good things about it that i really want to give it a try.

So, I've finally took a small amount of time to start this. Just completed the first mission. Man, this was such stellar writing (for the most part). You don't know what's going on. You don't know who to trust. You don't know what anything is. I haven't played Mass Effect in 6 years. I burned through 3 playthroughs in the summer of 2015. I will admit, playing Mass Effect 1 isn't something I look forward to. 2 and 3 is where it's at for me. However, this is a remaster. And, it's been so long that I don't remember all the fine details. Crazy to think how old this game is and how far BioWare has fallen. It's interesting to see where the politics are given today's current climate. Also, incredibly fun to listen to the story just start to unfold when you already know where this is all going. But, it also makes me remember some of the storylines that were never finished. This is by no means a perfect game. It's not a remake (although, if they really went the way of FFVII Remake, it would have been awesome to see). Even through the first mission, you can see where some of the dialogue trees don't make sense, but you sort of expect that when it comes to dialogue rich games. I do still wish they could have really taken what modders have done over the years and put it into the game. Like, FFS... I want my character to have more hairstyles and longer hair that resembles mine. I want better facial options instead of just a really tan white lady. Like, couldn't have they at least picked up some of their stuff from Andromeda and sort of put it here? Eh. I guess not. The controls feel clunky. But, that's how I always feel when starting a different solo game. It will take me a bit to really just be quick with everything. For now, with the initial set of weapons, I'm quick enough to get even sniper shots off and insta-kill enemies. So far for Mass Effect 1, not much of the gameplay has changed much. The menus are what I remember, and that's going to piss off a lot of players who aren't used to traditional RPGs. So much customization. But, I think it adds a certain depth to the gameplay. If I had like 2 weeks off, I would definitely burn through a full gameplay of ME1 - ME3. Just absorb the whole story again. Unfortunately, I am not of that age with that luxury. So, let's see if I can balance this along with other games once I really get into the meat of the story. I purposely shut off the game after the first mission because I know that once I really get going, next thing I know it's going to be 3am...

I've watched that @phil bottle and now I feel the same 😄

I'm actually really excited to replay this on my PC.

yeah.. I'd watch this! I mean, he does sort of go John Wick on everyone in his way lol. Sony developing Ghost of Tsushima movie with John Wick director WWW.POLYGON.COM Chad Stahelski is reportedly attached to direct the project

This is pretty awesome.. And, yes, I do now want to visit this island. Ghost of Tsushima devs to be made permanent ambassadors of the real island | VGC WWW.VIDEOGAMESCHRONICLE.COM Creative leads to be honoured for spreading "the name and history"

I haven't been in awe of the beauty in a game since Horizon Zero Dawn. Cleared a farm. On my way to getting Gosaku's armor because I want new armor to upgrade. Looks like Jin and horse Sora felt like going for a nap.

So, I'm currently running around trying to 1) get enough materials to upgrade all my stuff, 2) unlock as much as I can before continuing with the story, and 3) get enough technical points to better my play style. I had just finished clearing out the logging camp, I think. Then, Jin decided to sit down, bask in the bloody and fiery aftermath, and have a drink? Dude... that's some badassery, I guess.

I agree that the fighting can be difficult. However, I think it could be a bit more intuitive. Some issues I've experienced in my learning curve with Ghost are issues I never experienced with Horizon Zero Dawn, and a lot of the mechanics are the same. Like, I shouldn't have to pause to look up the correct order to throw a knife, nor should I be accidentally calling my horse when I do that, but I do. That said, I'm still having a blast with it. I just wish I could get to the angry Mongols in time before they butcher peasants when I see them.

I don't feel like starting a new thread about this game. I started really playing it on Saturday, and am now in a good part of the game where I can wander around. Thought it was interesting? Amusing? to stumble upon a bloody barrel with a hand sticking out of it. Not sure why it's there. But here it was.:

I managed a couple of hours yesterday. So far I think it is excellent. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Really enjoying this, the graphics and overall experience is superb, the fighting is very hard at times but hey, what's the point of playing a game if its not challenging? [emoji16] Sent from my Samsung S9+ using Tapatalk

It looks pretty decent and I will probably pick it up soon for what will be my final PS4 game.
