COD - new patch made the game so much better BFV - the pacific has turned this game around. The new maps are amazing Luigis Mansion - This is fun in short bursts, but it hasn’t really sunk its hooks into me. The gameplay is a little dull, but the atmosphere and Nintendo charm are there.

SBMM prioritizes your skill over ping when MM. it always pits you with people 1 level ahead of your ability so you rarely get a chance to perform really well. add to it the fast TTK and the fact it wiill put you in matches with high ping, it makes doing well even harder. most PVP games MM based on ping, and there is a separate competitive mode that MM based on skill.

Definitely an improvement. the 725 is still OP. But I’m seeing a lot more variants in guns being used. No more 90% M4. I’m really liking the kilo. the faster movement feels good too. just get rid of SBMM and this game will be doing great.

Not only new maps, but all the changes everyone has been asking for. This is a significant patch!

it has a lot of potential to be great though. the ranking up and leveling the guns is great. the graphics and animation is great. movement feels pretty good. the sound outside of the footsteps and callouts is great. they just need to nerf the M4 and 725. nerf claymores. tone down the footsteps and stop the callouts from being heard by the enemies. they also need to balance a few maps where every game leads to spawntrapping (picadilly and that village map with the haystacks). and get rid of SBMM and make it by ping.

not just claymores - literally anything you say can be heard. contact, enemy at the cave entrance, reloading, throwing frag.... its all audible by the enemy. its completely insane.

The meta is the following: perks: overkill, ghost, amped field skill: dead silence Guns: M4 (w/ only attachments that increase ADS) and 725 (w/ whatever, doesnt matter) 2 claymores 1 stun or flash this is a huge problem. there is no balance. the loud footsteps, callouts and really fast TTK arent helping either.

who sucks? from what i can tell, im about average (and I maybe play 1-2 matches a day at this point at least until its fixed). seems most 2-3K/D players are hovering around 1KD, which is right where Im at. Ive had some top 3 matches and ive been at the bottom a lot (SBMM blows). I just refuse to conform to a specific play style in order to "win". All play styles should be viable. I complain a lot about Battlefield V too, but Im still playing it (new maps are amazing BTW ). You can be critical about a games design while still being interested in it and wanting to enjoy it...and ultimately wanting it to be better. Dr. Disrespect sums up the feelings of the majority of the community.

Clearly you haven’t played much battlefield recently. There’s going to be camping in every shooter sure, but this is nothing like recent battlefields. As for the OG pc-only games , i can’t speak for them. I’m not a huge COD player, but IMO the pinnacle of the franchise was MW1-3. And this is NOTHING like that. There is a difference between that stupidity of jumping around and trying to shotgun each other (fortnite) and offering an ability to play aggressively and be rewarded for it. This game does NONE of it. absolute nonsense. When the entire fucking team and your own teammates are sitting in a single-entry room with a claymore covering the door...that does nothing for you. this game isn’t tactical. This game isn’t strategic. Theres nothing rewarding about the gameplay. This game caters to people sitting in a room and waiting for someone to peek/walk/run by and with the instant TTK it just gives shitty players the ability to get kills.

Yup. It’s slow and frustrating which in turn makes it boring. Such a shame bc the guns, customization, graphics and sound (sans footsteps and callouts) are all amazing.

I’ll definitely grab it eventually to see for myself, but a day one purchase this game is not. There’s just too much other stuff to play right now.

Ok. I played an absolute shit ton of these 2 maps between yesterday and this morning. They are absolutely the best maps in BFV right now. The maps really cater to every play style which is awesome. Dice really brought back that BF feeling with these maps and I’m completely sucked into the game again. I really hope they can keep the momentum going. with that, they definitely need some tweaking. I’ve been plying exclusively breakthrough and it’s almost impossible to win defending Iwo Jima. I think I had only one successful defend in about 15 rounds (and it was a complete blowout, which was weird). The final objective is too easily taken. It happens in seconds every round. They definitely need to shut down one flanking route or something. The first sector of pacific storm has an opposite issue. It’s too easy to defend. Tanks and boats are taken out before they even get to shore. Then most of the time you have to spawn all the way back at the ships. They need to move the ships up closer to the objectives and I think they need to add some islands in between the spawn and objectives for cover so the offensive team can advance. either way though, they turned this game around. Really well done. Feels so much better playing this than that train wreck that is the new COD.

My exact thoughts when watching that review. did the same thing. Depending on how it sells, this could easily be $40 or less on Black Friday/cyber Monday.

What’s up with the aiming with the right analog stick? I was trying to use it and Luigi was like spinning around. im only like 40min in but I feel like the controls are a little tough.

And tHe Garand fully leveled isn’t terrible. It definitely does more close range damage than the other semis.

These new maps are awesome. Feels like battlefield again!!

Having never played KOTOR for more than 2-3hrs, I would love to see that remaster.

that might be the case. i still think the ROF and small clip will be a limiting factor. ill have to work on it.

on console none of the semis are OP anymore. at launch they were, esp the turner, but since then they nerfed them. this gun is not viable in any scenario. slow ROF and small mag make it a sit back and camp just outside the objective type of gun.

so long, tedious isolated world traversal horrendous inventory management basically one fetch quest after another boring and easy boss fights sort of interesting story gets better late game with interesting reveals great music

From IGN. (6.8/10)

from everything I watched, it definitely just looks boring. Big vast open world with not much going on in it. I think Im skipping this until I can catch it on a sale. Too much other shit to play right now anyway.

Luigis Mansion 3 - started last night, played for about 35 minutes. It seems fun, but controls are a little wonky. COD: MW - love/hate with the MP in this game, but the graphics, unlocks, leveling have me coming back for more. Campaign was fantastic. BFV: Pacific DLC drops today! Cant wait to dive in Outer Worlds: Only about 2hrs in and really itching to get back in....but see above!
