Paid Members BigJag Posted January 30, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2018 Thanks for the responses guys. I'd be playing it largely for a bit of fun and with any luck , local multiplayer. Not really looking to go the career route or online play. Would the 2016 version still be the best one to look for? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 What you need is a Gamecube and a copy of NFL Street 2, I think I might boot that up myself later on. The big sports titles are all too complex now, I miss twitchy arcade fun and can't wait for Sociable Soccer to be completed. Have any of the resident fighter fans picked up Dragon Ball FighterZ? I hear it's great for newbies of the genre but is also has MVC depth, it looks gorgeous too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Yep, completely agree. I think Madden is especially complicated even for a sports game and as a result you don't really feel in control. It's not great for a bit of pick up and play fun. The last version that had that feel might have been back on the ps 1.... Edited January 30, 2018 by Chest Rockwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted January 30, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2018 Having utterly given up on Metal Gear Solid 5 after reaching the halfway point, thinking I was done, only to see there's more game left, but it's mostly just rehashing the first bit - followed by the game getting stuck on a loading screen after the last mission I attempted - I'm resisting temptation to pick up a new game tomorrow, when I get paid, as most of my paycheque is already accounted for. Â I've no willpower, though, so it's probably going to be either Xenoblade for the Switch or Monster Hunter for PS4. What do people reckon? I played through Xenoblade on the Wii, sank easily 100+ hours into it, and mostly enjoyed it - though a lot of that time was playing it with the ex around, and committing the better part of some rainy afternoons to the pursuit, and I'm less likely to have that kind of time to plough into the thing now. Also, less likely to have the patience for what I assume will be a bloody long extended tutorial section. Monster Hunter I also had on the Wii, liked the idea of, but never really got very far in. The idea of the series has always appealed to be more than any enjoyment I've actually got out of it. But it definitely feels a better fit for PS4, so should I have a stab at it? Â Any experiences of these two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members GlennCullen Posted January 30, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2018 I find it really hard to change Maddens. Stuck with 2010 for 6 years, and loved it, with a couple of attempts of the subsequent iterations but finding the gameplay balance all off. Finally moved to 2016, which I now really get on with, but I tried 2017 with the same issue. Think I'll be sticking with 2016 for the long haul.

Keith Houchen Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Yeah I'm like that with the NHL games as well. Â I have EA Access but I've not got the latest ones downloaded as I'm still playing 16, and I don't care about playing them online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 31, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 31, 2018 IÂ had EA Access last year. Played some FIFA, played some Mass Effect but can't really say I got my money's worth from it. I wasn't a fan of struggling through last season's championship with this season's Rovers squad. I ended up buying Mass Effect 1 & 2 at Christmas in the sales anyway. I'll keep an eye out for 3, but there was something about the second one that I didn't enjoy as much as the first. I think it was the ammo thing rather than the overheating element with the guns. I'm an awful shot so ended up wasting shedloads of bullets.

Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted January 31, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 31, 2018 Saw Spec Ops: The Line got made backwards compatible yesterday, a hugely overlooked gem from last gen. It is a mechanically average shooter, it seems at first glance the blandest game ever but it's not (and I need to keep it vague), it's one of the most haunting, horrifying gaming experiences I've had, and destroyed Dubai is an amazing setting. It's probably going for a couple of quid, give it a shot and go in as blind as you can, I wish I had (I only became interested in playing it after reading spoilers). I've lost loads of hours watching recaps/reviews/theories etc on it since, and I rarely even do that for films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding a match online is surprisingly slow, and I'm finding the story mode a bit of a slog to play through. Mechanically though it's solid and I've had a lot of fun with it against other players. And unlike SFV it's generous when it comes to rewarding you with it's in game currency. If you enjoy anime fighters it's worth a shot imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

October! It’s a bit gutting, but as you say, we have a release date, October 26th to be exact and they have teased us with these: Not often I hear there’s a delay and I get annoyed these days. However, I then saw the pics and thought you know what, I can wait a bit longer for perfection. This looks fucking epic.

Guest Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Â Granted, he probably said this before downloadable patches were a thing, but the point still stands. A disastrous launch leaves a stink that sometimes can't be erased, so a bad game is at least remembered as bad forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
