Merzbow Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Ouch, I heard the new PC versions were a bag of broken shite but had no idea console versions crashed too. Â Anyone playing the Xenoverse 2 beta on ps4? add catharsis93 for the coop missions if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted October 9, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2016 Got Gears of War 4 yesterday and loving it so far. Versus is more of the same with a few added modes, but when it's a good formula and only the 5th game in about a decade it doesn't feel overplayed. Horde has been completely overhauled and with a good team is awesome, but annoying with a shit one. Co-op campaign is addictive, with me and my mate on the last Act after a marathon today, looking to finish it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The first game seems to be the worst culprit. Also read about Infinite having frame rate issues but can't confirm this myself yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 The presentation of the story in Mafia 3 is outstanding, like watching a Scorsese movie. The soundtrack's Vice City level of great as well. I'm only a few hours in so it's hard to tell how the long open-world grind will fare, Mafia 2 had nothing to do outside of the main story (I still liked it) and aside from MGS and GTA, I've got bored long before the end of every other recent open-world games. Â Having a great story, setting, soundtrack and nice weighty gunplay's a good start! I have to agree on the music, some fairly sized chunks of change has been thrown around licensing all the music. The non-linear storytelling is good as well, it's pseudo documentary style talking heads and footage. Â It's the game play that's lacking for me. The controls seem clunky and the driving isn't fun. If you don't get away from the area of a crime quick enough you immediately get 6 police cars chasing you out of nowhere. I want to see how the story plays out, but I can't be fucked to do the side missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 How would you compare the driving with GTA IV? Because everyone apparently hated that but I was fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 They are yank cars from the 60s, so the fact they have shitty handling and don't brake well is accurate. There is a real lack of sense of speed though. The speedo says I am doing 90, but the visuals make it look like you are dawdling around a supermarket car park looking for an empty spot.

Merzbow Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Video games should very rarely be "authentic", I'd rather have fun than be struggling to control an old lemon. The downfall of football games for me was when they decided to try and make things realistic and there were no arcadey alternatives post PS2 era. I've been playing a bit of Sniper Elite 3 recently and that does both sides really well, you can customise the game to play either gamey or realistic or a bit inbetween.

Steve Justice Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Can someone recommend a good Bluetooth PC controller that will work with Windows 10 without drop out, and with a decent range (10m or so)? Looking for less than £20 ideally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Buy a PS4 controller they're great, I use mine for MAME on my laptop with the HDMI plugged into my telly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I already have a PS4 controller. I'm having a lot of drop outs because the latency is constantly going above 30ms. Works fine wired, I just don't want wires trailing along the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 A 360 controller with the official wireless dongle is probably the best choice especially if you already have a pad from an old console. Amazon sell the dongle for under 15 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am playing on the arcade mode on Mafia 3. There is a "realistic" mode as well and I haven't tried it, but I can imagine the majority of vehicles are near unusable. The vehicles seem weighty when you throw them around corners, which feels good. Then you smack into another vehicle and it will go flying like it's a tin can which breaks immersion.

Merzbow Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Driving physics are so hard to get right, at the moment im pining for a new Ridge Racer on PS4 as that game got it just right for my style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Blur was decent too, but that and Split/Second sold like shit for some reason. Burnout Paradise is probably my last great racer that wasn't a Kart game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to badger Criterion games to make it, even a re-release with slightly updated graphics would give the horn. If EAST got Black Box studio back together to make a fourth Skate game I would get The Gush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
