Sabo 442 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Bought Division 2 since it was only 3 bucks. Easily the best 3 bucks I've ever spent. Just some quick impressions: Game isn't that bad TBH. I would've paid 30 for it so getting it for 3 is a crazy good deal. Cover based shooters are just lame as hell now and this game doesn't change my mind on that, but this is a looter shooter before that. The game does a really good job of feeding you good gear but doesn't get too generous in order to keep you chasing the carrot. The leveling process in this game has a really nice flow to it, probably one of the most pleasant leveling experiences I've had in years. Co-op is great. It's really easy to hop in and out which is a big deal for a game like this. The main missions so far have had some pretty solid level design. The world size feels perfect. Reminds me of Arkham City in the sense that they ignored scale and instead decided to jam pack it full with all kinds of stuff to do. I much prefer this approach, makes the map a lot more entertaining to explore because you're always finding something to do. There's really no lull. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JonDnD 2,606 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I put like 20 hours into the game and I did enjoy it quite a bit . 3 bucks is a steal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) i played through both of the Metro Exodus DLCs. The Two Colonels is fantastic from a storytelling perspective. The way it sets up the climax of the original game is very cool, and it has some of the best cutscene directing/editing in the series. That said the gameplay is pretty weak and actually kind of non existent. The 2nd DLC (Sam's Story) is more significant from a gameplay perspective and the story (while not amazing) is still fairly entertaining. Overall it was nice being back in this world. A year has passed but this game still has some top notch atmosphere. Edited February 16, 2020 by Twinblade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. House 3,371 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 So I finished Control, lmao, I still have a few side missions to clear to gain the platinum but idgaf anymore. The game had a few moments where it shined and I enjoyed it but overall, its misses the mark in every categories, if just barely. I wouldnt recommend the game to anyone.

To me, the first 2 Metro games always felt like limited versions of the STALKER games which I loved. I couldn't shake the feeling that they were so close yet so far from nailing the vibe that I really liked about STALKER. Then with Exodus, they opened it up and made a post apocalyptic open world that finally evoked that same feeling I used to get when exploring the Chernobyl wasteland. And the great thing is that it still has a lot of the tightly scripted and linear set pieces/missions that you'd see in the first 2 metros, they just happen to be separated by the open world hub areas. Its a really good blend of both. I honestly did not expect to like the game as much as I did considering how I was sort of lukewarm when it came to 2033 and Last Light. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wished the whole game was that awesome. The change in tone, the crazy perspective changing stage, just straight up linear action, and a great song popping out of nowhere. That was the single best thing about the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,606 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 That level was fun to look at visually , but I wouldn't call it a maze . And it was basically just kill the same enemies over and over as the rest of the game Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah its surprising how ambitious it is, theres still so much stuff you haven't discovered in terms of mechanics and features. The one negative thing I have to say about the game is that there are A LOT of boss battles and most of them aren't much fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,606 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 That sucks about the boss bottles. The story so far and how its being told is entertaining. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Casual 726 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Been getting into Escape from Tarkov. Game is fantastic, one of the best and most fresh gameplay loops I've encountered recently, not sure how it wasn't on my radar until recently. Still doing some WoW Classic. Just raid logging for the most part at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dreams I'm not sure on, not really my type of game. 5 hours ago, kaz said: read a book or two Do that all the time regardless of whether I'm gaming or not. Currently about a third into Oathbringer (Book 3 of The Stormlight Archive) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
