Assetto Corsa Competizione review - an authentic racer that doesn't feel ready to leave early access

@Majorjaws it's spotty for everyone. Their comments on it have amounted to 'Unreal Engine isn't really optimised for VR so we've done what we can but the engine needs work'

Same for triple screen support as well

Mortal Kombat 11 players are beating the grind using exploits, AI Noob Saibot and button-pressing contraptions

@crossbit took me about 2 hours to earn nearly 5k souls last night doing the towers. Hardly call that much of a grind. Not like you've got to unlock everything instantly.

I beat the grind by waiting for the patch to come out. Other than the 50 fatalities on each character the grind is non existent now.

Anthem's physical sales half Mass Effect Andromeda's

y2rich

@MarkRobLives but I'm referring to the gameplay and the general feature completeness of the game as a whole compared to its competitors. It's lacking a lot of basic features that are staples of the genre, it's loot pool and variety is severely lacking compared to the others and for me at least the 'shooter' bit is terrible feeling with water pistol types guns with no real sense of impact or feedback when they hit anything.

@MarkRobLives it's getting the crap it's getting because I imagine people are sick of those looter shooters coming out and making all the same mistakes as their predecessors and not learning anything. Tough to be overly positive of a game missing basic QoL and stats features that other games implemented 3+ years ago after launching in similar states to Anthem.

Apex Legends isn't Titanfall 3, but it's the most fun I've had in an FPS since Titanfall 2

@Malek86 because it would absolutely destroy the balance of the team based mechanics where increased team mobility is the main reason to pick one if not two of the characters and it would negate the abilities of a couple of others

So from the comments I've read so far, I'm guessing approximately 5% of the people in here have actually played it and the rest are just moaning because it's not specifically targeted at them? Never change internet.

LawBreakers review

Anyone comparing this gameplay wise to Overwatch/PUBG????/Destiny etc really should give it a go before judging. Super fast paced, skill based, competitive shooter with some great game types and some proper old school feel. This is far more Tribes/Quake/Unreal than any other game it's being compared to.

AC is also going to be fully moddable like the original rFactor. Part of the reason for the lack of quality rFactor 2 mods has been due to the big modding teams stick with rF1 until the full AC toolset is available. If AC gets the same mod support that rFactor has enjoyed (you'll struggle to find a track or racing series that isn't available via a mod for that) then this will be the 'sim' to own.

daedaloz. Its a very short demo that bored me already, doesn't bode well for the full game. Theres only so many stormtroopers I can send flying off walkways or doors I can force push open before I've got all the fun out of it.

Meh. The force powers are dull after about the 3rd use, the lightsaber fighting is horrible and the camera is just useless. Lets not forget the QTE which just was the icing on the mediocre cake.

Yes it does look cool, but it just feels dull.

I'll give it a rent but thats about it.

Picked this up yesterday and then proceeded to play Captain Your Country with a couple of housemates for the next 7 hours. The gameplay tweaks and extra modes make it so much better than Fifa 08 and PES08. Can't wait for Fifa 09 now to see how they advance the Be a Pro mode in that. Here's hoping for a full career like NFL Superstar in Madden.

I have barely been able to wait for Rock Band over the past couple of months but they can go fuck themselves if they're going to charge that. Even with Play.coms price it's still a bloody rip off.

What is this with everyone saying games run slower on Vista? I've not noticed any difference between my PC running vista and a friends near identical build running XP.

I've not had a single problem with a game or piece of software since installing Vista and it hasn't crashed in the 2 weeks it's been installed, compared to XP which used to crash at least once a week and usually more.

They did remake Jonah Lomu. It became World Rugby Championship and Rugby Challenge 06.....in other words, they ruined it.

y2rich

14 years ago

Erm....this is nearly identical to Rugby 06 which was a pile of rubbish. (PC version anyway).

Players still run offside frequently, theres still far too many high tackles and red cards, the set plays often end up with you calling the wrong one because you were still pushing the maul along, theres no way to change your controls, its still far too easy to score with quick players by running widthways across the pitch (one of the biggest no-nos in the real game) and numerous other problems.

8/10? more like 3 or 4.

I'm going back to Jonah Lomu Rugby.

This could well work quite well match wise. When I used to play IOS for Half Life regularly the only teams that ever won were those which were well organised and had a defence. Once the serious players get separated from the average "GIVE ME BALL I WANT TO SCORE" players, this could be awesome.

Sony E3 conference

y2rich

14 years ago

A hell of a lot of games that are either very close copies of games on other systems (Infamous looking like a cross between Crackdown and any generic be good or evil game and Killzone 2 looking like an FPS Gears of War), and a lot of the exact same content from the 360 presentation.

MGS4 did look good, but for how long will it be a PS3 exclusive. Konami have already hinted at the fact that with the current PS3 userbase they're going to struggle to make back their developments costs with a PS3 exclusive.
