    Star Wars Battlefront II

    Blizzard put a fucking RMT Auction House in Diablo 3 and took a 10% cut. This good guy Blizzard shit is hilarious. And don't get too excited, Activision is looking to be worse than any of them:

    I definitely need to get on this then. A Persona Anthology on PS4 would be epic.

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    Overwatch slows the progression of leveling to the point that people regularly buy crates to avoid the slog. And even then pack so much useless shit into lootboxes that people feel the need to buy more. Things like sprays weren't put in there for the good of the game, they were put in to take up...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    Now your moving goalposts. You said skins are easily grinded and that they are an incentive to keep playing. You can literally have a have a maxed out character in BF2 in a week. And you can have half of the six locked heroes in your first fucking day. How long would it take to unlock all of...

    Is it better or worse than 4 Golden?

    Overwatch is a full priced game.

    Now you're just being stupid. You can literally switch out Overwatch and Battlefront in your post and it holds the same weight.

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    What pisses me off far more than this shit in gaming is that this stuff is far more prevelant in childrens toys. There are probably a thousand different "random toy" things that are basically physical loot boxes these days. Go down any toy isle and it's littered with this garbage, aimed at small...

    I downloaded this to my X to give a shot. Is there anything a fresh player should know that you wish you knew when you started?

    They're the start of a compelling case. The fact you can play Zelda elsewhere makes it less so. Prime, however, would probably push me over. It annoys me Nintendo doesn't capitalize on their fanchises, though. A Prime Trilogy remake for Switch would have sold me on it day one.

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    Paying for things outside the base price is shitty model across the board. For some reason people like to pick and choose which games offend them based off of nothing, really. Someone will complain about BF2 and then run out and buy SoW. Someone else will bitch about AC and play Overwatch...

    Horizon, no contest. Zelda was great but too many annoyances took away from it. Haven't played Mario, but looks to be a good time. D:OS 2 was really good too, but I actually enjoyed the combat less that the first. PUBG, I still don't understand how this is popular, Fortnite is a better game...

    Defending what? What the fuck does removing a button have to do with the game? No, removing the button is shitty, people should be allowed refunds if they want.

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    You used to get 20k in a crate at the end when Vader cost 60k. Now you get 5k when Vader costs 15k. That's a single reward. So zero change in the one reward, but it's 75% faster across the board. At the end of the campaign you will have earned about 10k credits. There are something like 250...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    The rates were too high, they lowered it. At these new rates you can unlock Vader in an hour and all 6 of them in a couple of days. It's never been 40 hours to unlock a character. Repeating bullshit doesn't make it any less bullshit.

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    The line for me is when it impedes the enjoyment of a game. Like I said, I've already played it for 10 hours and at no point did loot boxes interfere with the game. Prople bought Dragon Age and at one point a quest NPC literally tells you, in the middle of the game, that you can't do the quest...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    I get people being upset and the outrage, but at the end of the day I don't care. If I'm playing a game, and enjoying it, what people say about said game doesn't really concern me. If my only knowledge of BF2 was "evil lootboxes" "micro transactions" , etc. maybe I'd be upset, but I actually...

    Forza 7 already has 4k, Horizon 3 won't get all the goodies until January. Get 7 if you're a traditional racer type, get Horizon if you want a more open world/off road experience. I'll probably pick up Horizon with this sale, I haven't seen it cheaper.

    Who are we talking about here? I like Nintendo games, always have. I only hate on Nintendo for their shit hardware since the Wii an occasionally like to take jabs at their retarded fanboys who think every release is the best ever. Mario Odyssey actually looks like a lot of fun, but even those...

    Nah the 4v4 stuff isn't effected. There are eight characters already unlocked.

    Super Mario Odyssey

    Did you stop taking your Nintendo pills? The newest game in every Mario/Zelda (pretty much any N only game) series is always the best game. It's also preferable if you toss in some hyperbole, like revolutionary, breathtaking, gamechanging, etc. when describing it. You have been warned!

    It's the software and it's been fixed in the beta updates already. Should be pushed lived soon.

    The Gamecube was more powerful than the PS2, so it wasn't until the Wii that Nintendo went all underpowered.

    Some internet dork, eh? Way to make your case! They're the best video gaming tech analysis site on the net and they disagree with you. The random internet dork is you, who thinks he's knows more than people who break shit down for a living and are highly respected. But, yeah, I'm not going to...

    You should watch that DF Doom tech analysis. They pretty much echo everything I said about the handheld vs tv screen and how blowing it up to a bigger screen, even with a slight resolution bump, still makes for a worse looking game. But what do they know, right?

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    The starship fighting in BF2 is pretty kick ass. You should check out the trial, it's basically a rental cost. One of the single player missions has you flying through the death star debris and dogfighting and it doesn't suck either.

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    It was the second most streamed game today, even with its 10 hour limit. Sacriel had to open a second account to keep playing, I'm not sure many people are willing to do that.

    No one adds anything to this thread, most days it's a fucking ghost town. Did you know Monopoly is charting on the Switch sales chart? Fucking Monopoly! Knack woulds sell millions on the Switch and get excellent reviews. Where's Zangor_4bit or whatever his name is to tell me how great Monopoly...

    That's interesting considering Digital Foundry isn't even dropping their Doom analysis until tomorrow. In fact, they've actually been saying the exact opposite in a thread over on ReReEra. This was a week ago: This was this week when someone asked why people didn't give Sony shit for Crash...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    It's Nintendo, so most reviews are going to gloss over performance problems and other issues. Many of them read like PR. The fact that IGN gave the Switch version a full point and a half higher score than the PC version says all you need to know about that shit. Having said that I've seen...

    Don't know if anyone else here uses Comcast in an area that they cap data, but I had to get my cap removed this month due to getting the X. Anyway, if you are ever looking to remove your cap they are authorized to cut the rate from $50 to $25 per month for 12 months, so don't pay the $50. Sucks...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    I guess it depends on how you view these games. Is it a disposable game you play for a week and toss aside or is it something you will play for months? If it's something you will play for months then loot crates don't matter because you, and everyone else, will have all of the unlocks within the...

    Switch can't handle Doom, even at 30 fps. Constant fps drops, texture/lod issues, ect..Good luck with Wolfenstein! Yay third party games!

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    They limit the amount of levels in singleplayer. I'm playing on the X and theu fixed all the graphical bullshit. Film grain, chromatic aberration, vignette, lens distortion are all toggles and the UI isn't that shimmering mess. The game looks damn sexy now.
