Anyone played Dragon Age: Inquisition? Seen comparisons of it to Witcher 3/Skyrim in the past so thought I’d enjoy it if I gave it a go, but so far it just feels flat. Not much of a story and feels like some sort of medieval/fantasy version of Ubisofts Division 2. In half a mind to pack it in.

Update: Apparently it’s a common theme to lose interest when you’re in the Hinterlands and I should advance to other areas. Will see how it goes

Yeah played it, it was really good at the time enjoyed it but that was quite few years ago.

Decided to give FIFA 22 a go as it is part of the May PS Plus offer. Played a few games , and will be deleting it.

I haven't played a FIFA game since 16, what on earth happened to it? Slow gameplay, and so unrealistic. I mean, Kyle walker isn't getting done for pace by many people, yet in the game he won't even break into a run and everyone just sails by. Same for any of the human controlled players.

The game always selects the wrong pass, at first I thought it was me but no, it happily puts a ball into space rather than passing to the nearby teammate when I tap x.

Shooting, if you build up any power at all then it's sailing over, and the AI has every team playing the same, like 1970s Brazil, with never a misplaced pass. The only difference I can see between difficulty is that if you bump it up the AI's shots go in rather than wide, the actual build up and retaining possession is the same.

Utter tosh. Off it goes before I mistakenly earn a trophy and it sits there on my profile for eternity.

I stopped buying it last year but should’ve stopped years ago. We’re effectively paying £70 every year for updated kits and it’s not worth it. Rot started around Fifa 13 I think with much more emphasis placed on Ultimate Team and microtransations.

I'm pretty proficient on Fifa but the misplaced passes do my nut. Doesn't often happen but annoying when it does.

It isn't an arcade game especially if your playing on m Legendary, it is a game that imrequires possession and slow build up especially if you are playing as a lower league side.

Also, I'm in my 3rd season on Career Mode and already there's silly bugs, really awful for a £70 game. Would be more appropriate if you could buy the game in blocks eg £30 for career mode, £20 for FUT etc

I have to disagree with your viewpoint on FIFA. This year is probably the hardest version I have played. World class mode is frantic and if you are not on it you will get hammered. Once you figure out how the computer passes and learn to master attacking space the game is fun. You also need to be able to soak up pressure and break. The only downside for me is the pass speed for the cpu. It needs adjusted to 49 imo. Finals are a nightmare and it’s like watching city play against 12 men, var, refs and an opposition that are on liverpool inhalers;)

41212 is the way to go with a dm dropping into cb while the cbs split. Play with 2 forwards as once you figure out how to pass into space the forwards cause havoc.

I did the same last year. I was absolutely gobsmacked about how bad the gameplay actually was

Might try the 41212. I'm currently 4231 and 2 CDMs might be a bit excessive. There are some games the CPU just don't want you to win, others are piss easy, there's no consistency.

Agree with the pressure, some teams really press but once you play a few pass around the back they tire out and you can put in a through ball

Select options Get behind and stay forward for the 2 attackers. Am stay forward and get into box. The LCM is set for get forward/RCM default settings. Drop DM between CB and cover centre. I have full backs on stay back to cover the wide positions.
