It's a semi-serious sandbox with some very enjoyable gameplay and funny moments. I took a put with this game on the 360 and found it to be a real surprise!

Steam price has just been revealed; £34.99😂 I was expecting free to play or £10 tops! It was literally bargain bin material a month after release so much so they were giving it away. Now because of some mediocre update, they a virtually re-releasing the whole thing.

Independence Day Resurgence was on last night and I have to say that it is one of the worst films I have watched in years, on par with the god awful fifth Die Hard film. The original Independence Day was an absolute blockbuster film and bloody entertaining but I can't believe how badly they did with the sequel. It's sitting at about 32 on Metacritic and I'm just wondering how it managed to get such a high score😎

Sounds like another design calamity. A microphone on a controller is completely pointless.

Quality!

Just before the Covid-19 crap I was actually struggling to find something new to play and I didn't really have anything saved for a rainy day either. However I managed to finally get into Dark Souls which has been a fantastic experience; so I further bought Dark Souls 2 to play when I'm done and already own the 3rd. That alone offers so many hours of gaming plus I would also like to play Sekiro and also considering Bannerlord. I'm also doing MW2 Remastered on PS4 with one mission every evening to drag it out. I was expecting to play Final Fantasy 7 remake but I am giving that a miss and The Last of Us 2 is delayed along with Wasteland 3. I think I have enough to keep me going for sure!

Dark Souls Remastered

I accidentally walked into a boss fight which consisted of two dogs and the boss himself in an area the size of a bathroom. I was hit the second I walked in and lost 75% of my heath and before I could get my bearings due to the camera not readjusting, I was dead😂 Very tough game but incredibly rewarding and once you level up and improve your build, you can become very powerful and then go back to sort out all the enemies that took you out in one hit before!

We can pretty much assume the PS5 is going to be whiter than Michael Jackson post-2000's then! I actually hated the DS4 controller - the touch pad was a waste of time and barely utlised as was the speaker and the controller light was a stupid gimmick that could reflect off the TV if you were playing front-on in the dark. They should release a bog-standard controller which is around the £20 mark and then keep the big-boy pad for serious gamers only to fall in-line with the modded controller market. We don't even need an over-engineered pad to play even the most complex of games these days and you could probably get away with using a PS3 pad quite comfortably. The margins are huge though in the peripheral market so things like this may be the only chance for companies like Sony to make decent money as the console units will probably cost a substantial amount to make as it is.

This was a great game and it's getting a deserved remaster

My friend completed this today and it took him 4 hours and 20 minutes. He apparently completed many of the challenges and did not rush through either. Ouch!

Delayed again

Inevitable really. Bethesda came crawling back to Steam last year and Fallout 76 (which was bargain bin material at the time) was heavily tipped to go for free as they couldn't even give it away. Be interesting to see if they have improved it to any degree or whether it's just something more for the media to mock. I don't think I have ever seen a game ridiculed so much in my life.

I think a fair price would have been £12.99. They made something like $3.4bn on microtransactions in just a few months so I can't believe they are charging this much. £20 would have been perfect if the package included the co-op portion.

I had some PSN funds left over from Christmas so I cracked, bit the bullet and bought it. Firstly, I think it's a travesty that there is no multiplayer - I can understand that they have MW2019 and can easily put classic content into that (which they've done so and fucked it up the bum with) but even so, it would've been incredible to have MW2 vanilla MP remastered. Not having any Spec Ops/Co-op is an absolutely disgrace and wholly inexcusable really. This inclusion alone would have made it well worth the money and given users many hours of additional enjoyment. Not sure if Activision didn't want it to detract away from people playing and spending money in the latest COD or Warzone or whether the devs just could not be bothered but either way, it's a staggering omission like having a salad without lettuce. The campaign is magnificent though and they have done an incredible job with the remaster. It feels great and the new lighting and textures are amazing. There are also some extra attention to detail and seeing each mission for the first time and its improvements is a great experience. My only disappointment with it is the weapon sounds. Quite a few have changed and not for the better either. I really don't know why they haven't included the originals. The music and voices are all there which is fantastic. I think I would struggle to put £20 down of my own money for this for just the campaign but if you have it spare and are gagging to play this again, it's definitely worth experiencing. I hope one day we get Spec Ops at the very least.
