OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

[SolidSnakeUS]

So this is the once in a decade real effort for a COD game?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Improvements today (in anything) are basically adding features from an older generation.

The changes to energy or intimidation or whatever they called it sound great for offline play but awful for competitive play - less randomness and more skill expression please. Now my human goalie can get "tired" so he'll just flat out miss a save? Random glass breaking will cause a stoppage in play? Brings back memories of when your stick could break randomly on a shot.

I do like the button passing though - have been asking for that option for years.

"energy" just gives them more ice tilt.

Basically going to fix everything people were mad about

Load times.

Load times.

I haven’t noticed any long load times…

Felt like it took forever to get from main screen into an actual match.

I just bought BG3 last night, haven’t played yet. Any tips for a non tabletop player to not be lost?

So...

Crossplay
Battle Pass
Store

f*** off, EA.

Will say, if it's fairly easy to earn coins without paying, the store should be an upgrade over the bag system. Had no use for 95% of those items. Much rather pick what I want to unlock.

And if there were specific jerseys you wanted for your team...good luck.

Where's the shirts versus skins mode?

It is entirely possible to make your uniform flesh toned. I know this because I’ve done it.

@Beef Invictus tell him

Anyone have any thoughts/reviews on Bloodborne? My friends from College rave about it so I downloaded it on PS plus and got the DLC for super cheap. I’m just working my way through the Souls games first before I start up Bloodborne.

do not disable the tutorial...run it over several times if you do not understand something..but in reality..the tabletop is really just the background flavor...you won't get what and who certain people are but in the end it is just a video game in a established world

Wonderful game, although I never actually beat it. I got to the final boss, fought him several times, and then my f***ing cat stepped on my surge protector while I was in a loading screen.

My save got corrupted and I lost all my progress. Never had the heart to give it another go.

Chel? Why is it called that. Haven’t played the games in ages.

I was on the third of four discs of whichever final fantasy was two after FF7 when my memory card corrupted.
I think it was the one where the main character had a tail or something. Totally killed that game for me.
I feel your pain.

sounds like 9

FIFA demanded that they double their licensing payment, which I believe was something like $150 million to $300 million.

EA said nope, so now they just can't call it FIFA or have world cup modes, but otherwise it's all the same. They still have deals with all the leagues, teams, and players.

I ran the numbers, your math checks out.

Sad to hear about the corrupted save but happy to hear its a good game!
