Don't hate the playa, hate the game

This site has always gone by Gamespot - even after the Kane & Lynch Fiasco it didn't get dropped as the review site to use for Systemwars.

Metacritic is what you use if you want to actually buy it for yourself - like RottenTomatoes before you go buy a movie ticket; but we can't seriously use it as the score fluctuates, so you claim ownage a Monday, and by Friday you get owned? 

This would happen everytime a marquee game flopped.

Sheesh, why are yous always so on edge regarding even a fucking hilarious moment on twitter? No part of this thread is in favour or against Obama, it's just a truly hilarious moment of a guy unknowingly talking to the guy that killed osama about killing osama. Has nothing to do with his initial tweet. Behaviour in this thread is what is wrong with the world politically, so 'side' orientated that you can't even have a giggle about a stupid twitter interaction.  

This.

This is precisely what I thought when this thread went into 'tribal' mode.

I'm going to get Bob Woodward's book FEAR on Tuesday. I've done quite a bit of reading this year, feels good man. 

Turns out print is not dead.

That's amazing value.

 

Don't forget that Sony recently announced the return of Playstation Hits which is a set price of $19.99 for many of it's most popular games. More to be added over time too.

Oh damn.

Thanks for the heads up

So yeah I need from that list: Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, MGS 5, Yakuza 0, and how is Rachet & Clank?

Oh, also need God of War based on the universal love it received.

Definitely worth getting one now. They have reached a quality control level with exclusives that few systems (if any) have ever had. Incredible the difference between the early PS4 years and now. Plus the arguably even bigger hitters still to come (TLoU2, Death Stranding)

Yeah I was looking at an independent gaming shop here in town, and a bunch of titles - I've obviously not played; are $25-$30. So for like $500 I get a console and nearly a dozen games.

Yea I like how it kinda forces more team play because of the scarce resources. 

In theory yes, but people still select Medic/Support and somehow are oblivious to tossing their packs out...

I figured this was going to be an issue when I first heard about its implementation; because really DICE penalized the community and not incentivized us for teamplay.

There's already feedback from DICE that they're looking at increasing the starting ammunition.

How can you not have a playstation this gen this is like the 10th banger out for it

Well I was moving around the country, like coast-to-coast so never really had an interest to invest into a console and a TV, until I had settled.

It looks fantastic from what I've seen thus far. I was actually looking at PS4's for sale locally. 

I might break down and get my first Playstation since PS2. And my first console since X360.

Like what? 

 

The gunplay is better

The guns themselves feel a lot better

The vehicles feel a lot better

The game runs smoother than ever

Checked all the boxes to me. Otherwise I love this large scale mayhem

1- Yes, the gunplay is very satisfying - but this isn't a  "+" it's an expectation of the battlefield series.

2 - The guns have a very funky upgrade system, in that they are truly upgrades; there's never a consideration, or trade-off. You upgrade to literally get faster bullets. 

Secondly if every upgrade is solely to make your gun better, and never comes with a trade-off: like more damage, but worse recoil; or less recoil, but more noticeable bullet drop.

Finally, on that point, you have to exit the game when you unlock a new gun, or want to add an upgrade, because you received additional funds. Cool, so let me leave my squad, leave the server, and switch guns...

3 - The vehicles have some cool new features, I like that ammunition isn't unlimited, but once again, upgrades are necessary  - so  it really sucks when a n00b takes the tank and has no upgrades, and immediately loses it in battle. 

Secondly, Anti-tank weapons do no extra damage: Meaning, there are no weak spots on any of the tanks. A Panzerfaust does 20 damage to the front, or the side, and rear... 

4 - Yes, the game runs very smooth, I will give Dice that, and this was a Beta, but let's be honest a plethora of companies do these 'Betas' 

The attrition system means you end up spawning and searching the mini-map for Health and ammunition since you start with 2 clips... So spawn on a squad and no one went support? Well better hope you get an ammo pack tossed, or run back to your control point. Because I can empty the Sten/STG 44 in about 15 seconds.

Everyone can revive now? Cool, except I was hardly ever revived by teammates in the two days I played, but I picked up massive points just picking up guys that were literally run over.

A smaller nitpick I had about it was that you press E (or whatever comparable button on your controller) to revive, and if you press it again, you can cancel the revive if you need to fight back. I found that out by trial & error, as I thought I was just glitching out. But no where did  I see it advertised, or mentioned.

I went in-depth (in other threads) on why I'm going to pass on this game at launch; don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Battlefield fan , but there's a lot that needs fixing for me, and frankly I can't justify the full retail cost with those issues.

Only been exposed to resetera from links on this forum, but god damn it looks fucking toxic. Seems like if you took this place and put it in reverse, you'd get that shit. Sometimes I look at systemwars and think to myself 'what the fuck are we all doing' but at least I can call you all fucking faggots without being permanently banned. 

 

Because no one is going to know what in the fuck Malacrymas is saying:

What is homologation of vehicle?

 

Automotive homologation is the process of certifying vehicles or a particular component in a vehicle that it has satisfied the requirements set by various statutory regulatory bodies. It is mandatory to get this approval to export automobile products or components.

'console exclusive' is what they consider a real exclusive. (actually fake exclusive, also on pc).

 

'Console launch exclusive' are the 'also on PC also on Playstation 4' exclusives.

 

 fucking hell.

 

 

Bodycount, did you leave JonB & Bhyrtre alone with Deeno to defend the X?

It's a game still in active retail circulation, it's just a packaging update to conform with all other modern releases from Microsoft.

 

Not happening.

At this point your 'confirmations' are now confirmations for the exact opposite occurring.

It's like you're a bizarro-Nostradamus.

To paraphrase Zero Wing: All Your Games Are Belong to Us.
