SHAZBOT!

Well deserved.

Best CoD since Cold War, and that was the best for an age. Multiplayer is brisk, dynamic, and most of all, immense fun. Running an Underkill ghost gunkata loadout in objective-based modes, and having a ball.

Finished up all of the zombies missions, solo, and loved the entire journey, (a few bugs aside.) Outbreak always felt like it needed more, and DMZ fell flat for PvE due to the constant threat of a 6-man rolling you while you were on a boss. MWZ is the perfect blend of both gameplay designs, with none of the downsides of either.

Even the campaign was a good time, as long as you swallow the length.

Don't understand the reviews. Just goes to show how detached and irrelevant the ppl trying to make a living writing about games are, relative to ppl who actually play games.

400 hundred hours playtime since 1.02. Lot of fun playing basically any way that I wanted, with a huge variety of builds.

2.0? You either play 2.0 like Doom Eternal, or you'll be massively underpowered. Stealth has been gutted, front-loaded quickhack buffs are gone, the best bits of Cold-Blooded have been distributed so widely that few builds will gain the benefit of all of them.

Unless a tonne of the old perk functionality has been moved to the new cyberware, 2.0 represents a massive narrowing of viable playstyles. The marketing is "more ways to play," but the reality currently visible to us is quite the opposite.

Chasing fans of the anime seems to be the goal, here.

"Jag Base, this is Jag-12, I'm approaching the reported radar signature."
"Nothing on scope, Jag Base."
"Anything on thermals, Jag-12?"
"Neg Base."

...

Now give the Saints ip to someone who'll treat it with the respect that it deserves.

Have zero issues with this, given how absolutely toxic comms is in CoD - it's about time Activision tried to address the blatant racism and hostility.

If you don't like the potential privacy issues, turn voice off, or communicate with premade teammates via third-party apps.

No. It is basically an official Android emulator tied exclusively to the play store and limited to "certified" games.

That's a shame.

Thx for the reply.

Anyone know if this allows CoD Mobile to work without a third-party app?

This kind of new but not really game cost $70US while Baldur's Gate 3 sell for $60US.

And still contains showstopper bugs from 2020, that completely invalidate a playthrough.

Not sure why BG3 is being heralded as the second coming - it's a huge mess, and will take another three years to polish up to an acceptable standard of play. You shouldn't need to have played EA, to know how to navigate the bugs that Larian haven't bothered to fix.

God knows why they brought the release date forward. Well, no - we know why. Not that Starfield will be any less of a mess.

Maybe they'll bother fixing it up, now?

Stick to the first game for now. Waaaay too many ways to lose your progression and/or character, or get lumbered with game ruining bugs.

Why Omega Collection isn't on Steam yet, is beyond me. Has practically no competition on the platform, and outside the licensed music, would be one of the simplest ports to handle. Leaving the ip languishing in the PS+ dumping bin certainly isn't doing it any favours.

Good.

This consolidation shit needs to stop.

"Titanfall's in our blood."

Yeah, fo Respawn. EA need to give the ip to someone who'll respect it.

The real challenge I suspect, will be finding someone else with a PC capable of running this...

Rubin and team have a damn good game brewing here.

Of course it has - XDefiant has beta key drops running, right now.

That said, it's a great little game - very reminiscent of classic CoDs, with fluid movement and lots of scope for aggressive play. A bit rough around the edges, but one to watch out for when it launches. Rubin has put a great team together, it seems.

As someone who was born and raised in the UK, lived there for thirty odd years, and then emigrated to Asia: yeah, the BBC is essentially just government funded propaganda at this point. The amount of total dog sh*te the British people are being fed, regarding local politics here, is astounding. I wouldn't be surprised if BBC takes on events in other parts of the world are similarly twisted, to fit the government's narrative.

I won't lie, I rolled my eyes when Musk ended up being forced to see the twitter buy out through, but he's consistently surprised me with good calls, so far.

without killing image quality with DLSS and frame generation fake frames.

You clearly haven't used either.

This is a really, really great little game. The co-op is fun enough, but the solo campaign is an absolute highlight, with a tonne of working parts that produce a huge range of short, small instance action experiences.

Enjoyed 80's and 90's flicks and the Cold War-era setting of the last Black Ops game? Fancy a romp through crimeland, with covert operations in the USSR and 'Nam flashbacks, mixed in? This has you covered.

Honestly quite blown away by how enjoyable it is, given the media reception and the AA price tag.

If anyone takes the plunge, could you let me know how DragonStrike stacks up against the Amiga copy? I still have the original disks, and a copy for WinUAE that works perfectly. I kinda wanna support this, but if it's just a janky mess, it won't be worth it.

Edit: saw the regional price and grabbed them, myself. It's the PC versions, which were always inferior back then. Worse graphics, awful sound effects, etc. Purchase only to support the license, and then grab the Amiga version and a decent EMU.
