  1. I did give it a try and if you like tarkov I think you will quite enjoy this as it has the same sort of atmospheric vibe, it's great visually. Think my only downside is that the game is played in raids as far as I can see so you sort of start at a hub, buy things, craft things etc and then move into a round, find a load of stuff and leave again. The gameplay is great and some of the bots are genuinely scary to come up against.
  2. I picked it up but going through it very slowly, once I get to it I will let you know. That said I don't know how it works but might be worth checking out this in the meantime:- Pokémon Legends Z-A Trade Codes | VGC WWW.VIDEOGAMESCHRONICLE.COM All the trade codes you need for Pokemon Legends Z-A.
  3. I won't lie that video is a hard watch, it's just some guy ranting about a game he does not like and complaining that people are enjoying it... It was never going to be quite old school battlefield in part due to the people that have recently been employed to try and reboot the series and in part due to gamers wants being very different today. I think the biggest criticism currently for me is the maps, if you compare to old school Battlefield the maps are actually somewhat lacking. Operation firestorm (though I am not such a fan) is much more reminiscent of the series, plenty of infantry combat spaces but a larger map with scope for vehicles to really be utilised. They feel very COD esque generally but I understand why because of the people making the game and trying to lure in new fans. Server browser was taken out during the last game wasn't it? Portal will help to mitigate that I suppose and the complaint around skill based matchmaking, it is there but games are not prioritised on that. Heck if it was I think Macca, Lee and I would have been bumped right up to the best players last night as we finished 1, 2 & 3 almost every match. My only other gripe and I had a play with it last night trying to unlock the spawn beacon but the assault class is kind of pointless and the shotgun is stupidly overpowered but then there are always balancing issues when a game like this is first launched so we will see how it is in a few weeks. I may give the single player a go at some point, I am after a meaty rpg to play at the moment but nothing is really jumping out at me currently.
  4. I am having a lot of fun with this game, it's not quite old Battlefield but it's got some of the good aspects of it. Firestorm is one of my least enjoyed maps purely because of the snipers sitting on the fekkin tower. I think they should increase the bullet drop on sniper's to add some more skill to them and that would probably help resolve my gripes with it. Generally the maps are pretty good, I really like Manhattan with the bridge and generally the gameplay is pretty good, I am finishing in the top 4 or 5 spaces most matches so I haven't lost my edge with the Battlefield games which is always a plus. I have not used tanks as much as I did on the past few games either. I think you can see a lot of COD players on the game, the way they move, the lack of utilising the classes, videos online moaning about mines and such and there is often a lack of thinking about how you play, understanding that taking bases closer to enemy HQ in some game modes pulls enemies towards them allowing your team to recapture bases and such. In addition I have also been playing with map editor, it's a bit fiddly but I am getting used to it and despite it's crudeness in terms of just plonking objects down I had my first map published last night so I can now host it in portal. I have every intention to try and create some smaller COD influenced maps just for FG use and maybe we could get them going on FG Friday's if anyone's interested?
  5. You joke about it and whether or not it is another topic of conversation but I suspect we will see it go round full circle. Digital is great and conveniant and has been for some time however as prices of all these subscriptions increase and mount up they won't hold their appeal forever. We are seeing it now with people returning to vinyl with music again, people also like to own things.
  6. I am cautiously optimistic, I want it to do well and I want it to be good however we obviously had our fingers burnt last time around. I have intentionally bought physical on PS so I can sell it if it turns out crap. That said my beta experience it felt like a middle ground with battlefield and COD so not quite Battlefield as I have always loved and enjoyed it but it has some of it in there so an improvement on the last game.
  7. I have nosed at game pass recently there are a few games on there I could quite happily play and may still pick up (not ultimate mind). That said you can see that there must be issues behind the scenes financially with everything they produce at the moment going up and up in price, I do think that with some of their recent acquisitions they must not have made anywhere near the amount of money they needed to, to justify the purchases. That said if Sony keep their subscription as is I can see it really pushing Microsoft's Xbox side of things further down the crapper.
  8. I do wonder if with the 'inclusivity' in Mass Effect and Dragon Age with regards to genders and same sex relationships if the next games do come to fruition if we will see that side of things scaled back in the next games. That said I think this purchase is about the multiplayer and esports side of things and can see a lot of their single player stuff disappearing over the coming years.
  9. I honestly don't think much will change, the games won't improve but they will want to continue making a profit, this is all part of them trying to diversify income by moving away from just oil. They have taken steps into the gaming industry elsewhere and I suspect they may push esports more on the EA titles as well.
  10. They are blaming the tarriff's, but they are made predominantly in China aren't they? So I get the arguement then for raising prices in the US but not elsewhere. I suspect this is more that they are not making as much money from the consoles as they had hoped, they don't seem to understand that it is solely their fault. I mean everyone enjoys an era where games are more open and available on all consoles but the only first party stuff Microsoft has made since the launch of these consoles is flight simulator & Gears of war remastered remastered for a second time. There is no reason in today's world to buy an xbox console as far as I can see, to sell a product it still need's to have something that makes it stand out from competitors and they just don't have that. They have completely bottle this era, I mean Sony have not done a good job but Microsoft just blew them out of the water.
  11. I would be upset too, however the draw of battlefield (much like COD and such) has never been the single player.... The rumblings come out of play tests and such are quite positive on the multiplayer front and I am decided on picking it up. I can't see them getting it as wrong as the last game, it won't be quite Battlefield as I have always loved it with the obvious influences from ex Call of Duty people and such but I can see it being a bit of a fairly enjoyable middle ground and certainly better than the rubbish that the latest Call of Duty is looking like.
  12. If you do please keep me updated, I want to buy it but have Fifa and Battlefield as purchases soon so I can probably afford another biggish game at a push so will take a bit longer seeing what reviews are like on things before picking one (or maybe pick up a new retro title).
  13. Try tainted Grail Fall of Avalon 🙂 I am going to put a thread up about it at some point but think Elder Scrolls but darker and more gritter, more dark fantasy esque.
  14. Launch day for the new game, reminder if anyone wants to buy it!
  15. First come first serve on positions, rotate regularly and all that. Let's have another good night, last week went pretty well and we won our fair share as well as scoring plenty of screamers from outside the box 😄
  16. I mean, let's be honest, we all just want to see if the bard turns up or not don't we?
  17. I played far fewer games the second weekend as I was away for most of it, I had a couple of games on the Sunday though, excuse the snippet but it would not save properly on my phone for some reason.
  18. It does look good albeit I have kept my expectations in check just because of everything that has gone on with it, between that and Battlefield maybe I am just getting old 😄
  19. That worked out well for that other company didn't it....
  20. I think assault is the worst class if I am being honest so with the others - Engineer, can destroy vehicles with RPG's and the mine, I think the mine is crap though and far too big so easy to spot. Recon is great for the respawn point, however frustratingly every time you place it in, your squad can spawn on it but as soon as you do it breaks and you need to put it back down. Sorry I missed this before I went away, tanks as with I think every battlefield they have weak points. Get them just right and you do a lot more than 25 damage, I know one of the tanks if you hit it in a certain place to the rear you, the turret rings and tracks usually do additional damage too I think. If you hit the armour then yeah it does 25 damage. I had another go yesterday with 2 of my battlefield guy's and enjoyed it, I am on the fence about buying it right away as mentioned before and it's mainly because of being burned by the last game. Squad play as ever does work, I think my more recent cons - - Snipers are overpowered and on some maps it becomes unplayable as now cover can be blown to bits it makes it difficult to move from cover to cover. - I do prefer guns to be locked to classes - The issue with 4 man squads. I think when portal is launched with the game (assuming it is) we can probably get round it by all selecting to join a server by searching them rather than jumping into official servers.
  21. Not sure if you played last week but if you are all about I would be up for some clubs this evening!

    Hi guys!

    2 too many Joshes now and that makes to many Joshes if you ask me.... Anyway long time no speak Josh 😛
  23. I did decent stats wise, you can tell this game is still very much my home when it comes to shooters, could not do this on COd. however I also notice that scores are not in the summary this time around which always used to be the focus to encourage more team play and such.
  24. I am glad someone feel's this way, it was madness, you spawn in, you are in combat within a couple of seconds and fighting for your life. That's fine in the sense it is quick and you are straight into action but that's not entirely battlefield, Battlefield has always been a game you have been able to influence and turn the tide by getting a great flank or creaping behind enemy lines to capture a base to the rear. The games of Conquest I played and the points were constantly changing and it was a little disorienting. The game is better than the last one and I could see me playing this but more because I prefer this over COD, that's not to say COD is bad or anything and I played it with FG socially really but for a long time it has not been a series for me.
  25. I gave it a go, the guy's I play battlefield with are generally loving it, I don't feel quite the same way, with COD being in a lull I can see this taking some of the players from there so will improve the longevity of the series however This feels like a middle ground between Battlefield and Call of Duty, the gameplay is fast, the maps I have played so far are very infantry focused, you spawn in almost in combat. The vehicle play was limited again and unlike previous games a tank did not feel like something to be afraid of, 1 well placed RPG could take it out.
