It amazes me how well it's aged. I think it's the best Bond game and, out of the ones I've played, the most underrated video game ever.
Believe me, I'm with you as I dislike those kinds of Bond films or those that step into that tone or content. Just saying that, if it had to be done, video games are probably the most suitable medium for those kinds of stories.
Best of all, I had all these little RE pieces from shitty figures of the past! :)
Beat the campaign on Veteran - there are many dark moments in the game and I think it has the best atmosphere out of any of the CODs. For anyone whose played Black Ops, Reznov stating that he believes they will be welcomed back home as heroes only makes the ending of the game darker.
Have a couple of random trophies to clean up but I should have it platinumed soon enough. Will probably follow this one up with Black Ops.
Early impressions so far, very good. Jacob & Evie are already more likeable than Arno. Given how she is geared more towards stealth gameplay, I can see myself playing as Evie as much as possible.
Glad you're enjoying it @MajorDSmythe. I thought it wasn't one of the very best but still a nice return to form after Unity. I really liked how fun, over the top and self aware it was and I thought Jacob and Evie were great, they had a really interesting dynamic.
Black Friday is just around the corner, I can easily see it going for $35-40.
Maybe, but I'm more interested in the digital releases of games simply because I don't like having discs coming in the mail for how badly they can be handled and I've got no room for more game cases as we speak.
Hopefully nothing ever happens to your account then. That's always an issue I have with going all digital, could so easily lose it all if my account got messed up. That, and having to redownload entire games if I'm forced to delete them.
Everything has its tradeoffs, but we'll see. I think I'm going to hold off at any rate, as I just don't have the interest I'd like to. But I still wanted to share it as it's a pretty stellar deal for a new game, in case others wanted to take it up.
It looks amazing in the graphics department but still doesn't stand out as an installment in the series that'll drag me back in. Pretty weak holiday season for games in general, actually. Nothing on the horizon for months that I'm interested in, but I did pick up Battlefront 2. Loot crate micro transaction system isn't in the game anymore thankfully...for now, anyway.
That's probably what I'll do. I don't think it's right to play another sandbox game without going back to The Witcher 3 and finishing it up. I think the holiday and weather on the east coast will put me in the mood to finish it now that I'm in the snowy Skellige.
I actually took a break on The Witcher 3 as well shortly after arriving in Skellige. Work keeps me busy and anytime I hop on it's for Overwatch now. I do need to return to it very soon.
If the rest of the game holds up, my top 3 might change.
See, i'm the opposite @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, I like to be able to hold in my hand, what I have bought. That, and also seeing my collection on my shelf. I safely packed my PS2 and all the games I had for it away, when I bought my PS4, so I don't have to worry about space, not yet. I also have my Deluxe Edition of AC: Origins ready. I am going to skip AC: Chronicles, for the time being, and pick it up later on.
@MajorDSmythe, yes, I remember us discussing digital vs. tangible purchases before. I'm the same way with everything else (books over kindle downloads, movies on disc instead of digital, etc) but of the small number of games I've gotten digitally (which really isn't a lot) I simply got better deals on those specific titles than I ever would've found anywhere else on the shelf. Certain titles wouldn't have been available in store around my nowhere town or county at any point in the future and I never see massive deals online for certain titles either. So, when I see a digital deal pricing a game at $10 or below when I am usually lucky to see anything less than $20 in a store, I am definitely going to take that leap and pick the game up as it's only logical and the best deal. I already have a blu-ray and book buying issue so the space on my shelves is also more scarce in general and that also informs the decision.
I've only played, and beat, the story mode. I really enjoyed it but wanted it to be about a couple hours longer. We should be getting free DLC for an extended story, so I'm looking forward to that.
I haven't touched the online multiplayer yet but I did play it in the beta. I read EA is changing their loot box system for now. Which is good because I have no respect for the "pay to win" crap.
I don't mind a multiplayer Star Wars game but Star Wars is about the stories and EA needs to learn that. Multiplayer needs to be secondary to the story. I hope we will get an epic Star Wars game in the future that really gives the franchise justice.
@MajorDSmythe Do let me know how Chronicles is when you get round to it. I always meant to try it out because I love the series and the settings seemed really cool, but 2d games aren't really my thing usually, so I kept putting it off.
I grew up on 8-bit 2d games on the Sega Master System 2. Games such as: Sonic The Hedgehog, Robocop vs Terminator, Dick Tracy, Master Of Darkness, Cool Spot, 007: The Duel, Alexkid In Wonderland and so on. But I can't see the AC series working well in 2d side scrolling form. Part of what makes the series such a experience, is being able to move through a fully realiased world, or rather, cities. I might just pick up a copy so that I then will have a copy of each game to get a physical release.
Played the singleplayer campaign in about five hours. A bit jumpy with the story, but still gave me that Star Wars goodness. It probably was as I expected. Now I want to read about Inferno Squad. So there's that.
Also played all the arcade challenges and a couple of multiplayer matches.
Battlefront II: Inferno Squad is a pretty good book, so you should check that out if you haven't.
Multiplayer treating you well thus far? My copy arrives Monday, looking forward to diving in.
The only thing I miss, is the ability to pick a map you want to play in. I hear the last battlefront game had it. I hope ea fixes this issue too, if many people start complaining about it.
It's so addictive.
Multiplayer, the story?
