General Videogame Thread

Completed red dead last year I think and it was the best game I had played in years, still won't top Suikoden II for me though, will rebuy this on PC though just to do it all again.
 
RPG fans, old school adventure game fans, fans of off the wall stuff, fans of many things, should check out Disco Elysium, a genuinely twisted and hilarious mash up of Infocom / Lucasarts adventure and Planescape: Torment but based on a detective novel by Hunter S Thompson and William Gibson.

 
I know Battlefield V got off to a rocky start, but the new pacific update is absolutely fantastic.

It’s brilliant mate. The Iwo Jima map is so good. Dice fucked up releasing the game with no real plan of making new content quick enough before everyone got bored. The Pacific should have came out months ago and it should be well on the way of releasing more factions like the Russians. Credit to them though, these two maps are typical battlefield maps. I’ve played Modern Warfares ground war and I turned it off after a couple of rounds, shite.
 
Anybody tried the nioh 2 beta? I’m not one for playing alphas/betas but I’ve Genuinely put more hours into this than I have some fully fledged releases. Brutally hard though.

MW being so shite is what lead me to reinstall BFV to see how it compared, which timed nicely with the Pacific drop. MW needs some serious patching. Sometimes gambles on gameplay or map design pay off, but it seems most people just find it frustrating. Encourages camping too much, claymores, poor netcode leading to endless 1 frame deaths, stupid footsteps, even more stupid 'battle chatter' letting your enemy know where you are after you've carefully snuck up behind them.. Hot garbage. Me and a few old school friends usually grab it as a means of keeping in touch, but even general banter didn't keep it interesting. We all turned it off after the first few sessions and no-one has gone back.

Unfortunately it was a similar case with BFV. Not good enough on launch, loses too many players early doors, and they just never come back. Gambles on 'unknown' battles of WW2 didn't pay off, tweaks to gameplay like attrition widely derided, etc. Game ships in the state it's in now and maybe it's a different story. Hopefully there's enough buzz being generated, especially with Wake Island coming in December to get a good chunk of people back. I still think at its core it's a great multiplayer game. 32v32 breakthrough is a fantastic mode, and a decent squad of 4 can change the tide of a battle. What platform do you play on btw?

Elite Dangerous is fantastic. Not played for a while as my Elite controller developed stick drift. Preordered the new Elite 2 controller and am getting back into the game in anticipation of its arrival on Nov 4th. Bloody expensive for a controller at £160 but makes the game 10 times better.

Just bought this, fuck me it's hard, I'm supposed to scan something to find some encrypted data near the aldrich station. Haven't got the foggiest what I'm doing.

Going to give that Jedi Fallen Order a go on friday. Also has anyone played The Outer Worlds? And if so, any good?

The fact they've not put any demos out on EA Access & put an embargo on any reviews until Friday afternoon isn't filling me with confidence. I really want a decent Star Wars game but I'm slowly beginning to think won't be it.
I home in wrong though.

They've fucked up every other Star Wars game, Battlefront 2 being a prime example. Though to be fair it's just had a huge update which has made it a lot better.

That scanning mechanic is fairly recent. It used to be a lot simpler. I think there's a tutorial for it in the training missions on the launcher. Ive nearly 3 weeks worth of hours just pottering up to sag a and about alone.

Yeah, its a very steep learning curve. First thing to do is do the tutorials. What you playing on ?

Believe me, its worth the effort when you get into it. Even after playing for three years I still find myself searching for explanations for stuff. The forums are good and theres loads of youtube tutorials.

Ill help anyway I can.
