Fifa 15

[Nads]

this, cod used to be a really good game back when it was world war 2, then came the modern shooters and each title got more ridiculous than the last, and this new one looks ridiculous and a complete rip off of titanfall and destiny definitely, it looks utter ****, quality over quantity for me and haven't bought a cod game for yeara

im on pc myself and titanfall was free for a weekend last month, it was fun but didn't tickle my fancy for a full purchase

got fifa 15 but usually play coop seasons online with a mate, got to division 3 straight off, fifa 15 has many annoying as **** things though

the kick off run to goal is annoying, soon as they break past the two on the circle, they have 30 yards to the back line and the pace gets through it easily
also the referee is pathetic, you cant slide tackle without a foul, you can win the ball easily but if you touch the player after its a foul and really its all about pace again, any good player will run riot with fast wingers, too arcadey for me

so many things wrong with it, too much emphasis on graphical presentation,

best game I've played this year is arma 3

A million times this in bold, it's ****ing ridiculous that, andthe way players slalom you can't get near them, it's reducing now but first few games every goal I scored I conceded straight after, the gaps like you mention are ridiculous and it doesn't matter how you set up your formation it still happens. Aaaarggghh!

Skyrim was also excellent. Probably the last game I bought that I ever thought was truly great! Don't get much chance to play on my console now! I bought the last GTA but hardly played it so its now gathering dust! Never really liked Fifa. I was a master at Pro Evo, loved it, and once it became known that Fifa was overtaking it in terms of quality I bought that instead but couldn't get away with it! I thought it wasn't as playable or enjoyable as Pro Evo! Havnt bought a footy game for 4 years now!

Yeah I love a good openworld game, Skyrim was something totally different for me but I really liked it. The freedom element, as opposed to the linear gameplay is great for me, linear keeps my attention for maybe an hour or two max say on Call Of Duty or similar, but like you I can play openworld for 6 hours at a time easily, especially on a wet winters day when I don't wanna leave the house.

Easily mate, that map was awesome, I got my biggest multi kill ever on domination, took out a whole squad by sticking someone with semtex it went berserk on the achievements, was ****ing mint.

I think I ended that game 68/3 or summat, best ever by a mile, I generally die a lot cos I'm gung-ho as **** and try getting at people with the knife or dual pistols, ha

Mate I used to be like Suicide Shafiq on CoD, just blasting into every room/rooftop/alley and end up having the most fun ever on a game, nowadays it just seems as if the hardcore are left on CoD and the rest have ****ed off, nobody is interested in being chased about by a dork with a helicopter after 3 seconds of an arena, leave em to it.

Do ya reckon there's anybody still knocking about on the old MW2 maps? I couldn't check now my XBLive is reg'd to my One now.

its way way worse on this new one than it used to be, it's basically luck you dont concede, due to the way the team is set up automatically, once they break past the 2, they only need to get past 1 of your back line as their spread so far apart, it infuriates me, last night, i scored, then they scored from kick off, then i scored from kick off, and they almost managed to score again apart from a lucky block that sent it over the bar

its less football sim more sega outrun

It looks weak mate, as per their last 5 or 6 releases. They've done nothing since Dishonoured and really that wasn't brilliant. Their last great release was Skyrim 4 years ago.

ES Online looks like it's giving them a headache as well, their owners Zenimax are probably dragging them in to clean up the mess.

FO4 needs to be all Bethesda Studios otherwise it could end up going all wrong, same with ES6.

It is mate, post 28, they've bought Fall out outright.

Yeah, but Zenimax still owns Bethesda Studios and Zenimax's guys have turned Elder Scrolls Online into a complete **** tip.

If it ain't broke and all that...

Fallout 3 was probably my favourite game of all time! I would spend about 6 hours at a time on it but only felt I'd be on it for 2-3! Time passed so quickly when playing it! I'd switch the game on and come up with the plan that I will make my way to a certain city or place on the map. About 6 hours later I'd hadn't even getting there yet due to other crazy **** happening on the way! I'd end up forgetting what my original plan was! I wish I could wipe my own memory of it and play it again! Fallout New Vegas was ok but I just found the whole landscape and story rather boring. It wasn't as interesting as the Washington ruins from Fallout 3. I remember thinking that things will get more interesting once I actually got to New Vegas, but the main city was just a let down and a bit of an annoyance! I also found that there seemed to be more bugs in New Vegas.

I agree mate, much preferred Fallout three. I'm going to start it again today, Not loving the forum at the minute as it will be a good distraction. I've not done Fallout 3 GOTY or New Vegas UA intentionally with the 4th being so far off, so looking to pick these up soon, the built in expansion packs and patches and new weapons should make it well worth it.

Doesn't bother me, ZeniMax Media was born out of Bethesda anyway. Love the last two fallout games way more than the Elder Scrolls anyway, Think Bethesda Studios did a great job on the fallout games and look forward to the next, couldn't care less when the next Elder Scrolls game is out, all I care about is Fallout.

I'd imagine there's a few like. You can have your Live on multiple consoles mate, I still have me 360 set up in the bedroom for Netflix etc and it runs off the Live Gold, was surprised you could do this considering how ****ing greedy Microsoft are!

Yeah I sold my old Xbox 360 and I have a battered old one I took from my brother that I've got stashed if I ever need to revisit any games, they'll only be £4 a game now pre-owned so might have a bash.

I'm also surprised this is possible!

100% Guranteed mate.



This was announced in 2008 after Fall Out 3 had been been made. There's no way they'd have acquired the franchise outright if they were just going to make New Vegas, as New Vegas and Fallout 4 had already been agreed and signed off by Bethesda and Interplay Entertainment whom they acquired it outright from. Was very big deal in the gaming world, Not only would I say fallout 4 is 100% guaranteed I'd put my money on there being further releases beyond it.

I would imagine it will be at least 3 years before we see Fallout 4 though as it hasn't been announced yet. Plenty of time to get the next console.

****ing love Fallout me. I can not wait! Can you imagine the sheer size the new one is going to be and the possibilities on the new consoles?

Never played Fallout 1 or 2 but Fallout 3 had me absolutely hooked after an initial couple of days where I didn't really get into it. For me a storyline in a game is just as important as all the graphics and high tech jibba jabba they put into games. I even enjoyed the widely slated COD ghosts because while the gameplay was poor, I actually enjoyed working my way through the story. All the Assassins Creed's too, top notch.
I'm at uni atm and can't really afford a next gen console, when do people reckon the price will drop into the £250 range?

Is New Vegas a sequel to Fallout 3? I had always been under the impression that 3 was the most recent in the series.

Anyone played GTAV yet? The story, as always, out of this world. Online had such great potential, but was such a let down in the end.

Soon enough I think mate, they are doing FIFA 15 bundles for £329 now, I'd imagine there will be £299 bundles to maximise Christmas sales and stores will reduce these to around £250 for January.

What is decent is second hand games prices, £15-30, so around used 360 levels when current.

I'm up to about 12 games now, although I've not even put about 8 of them in the machine, ha.

Forza was the big disappointment to date, looks incredible, but too ****ing easy, and the loading times are ridiculous. You lose interest waiting to play the ****er.

Finished it on the 360 mate, but it's not out next gen until November, when I will buy it again.

Fantastic game, I just hope the next gen has done some magic with it.

That low already? Blimey it seems like only a couple of months ago all my mates were splashing out well over half a grand for one. Maybe I'll just ask for one big present instead of loads of crappy ones off my better half this Christmas
Second hand games is definitely the way to go like, I always buy second hand unless it's one of those games that has an unlock code for online that can only be used once.
Forza has always been one of the most overrated games to me, probably just because I'm terrible at it, but you seem to spend that much time just trying to stay on the track you can't actually get any enjoyment out of the racing.

I'd imagine they will focus on the online play for next gen as the story mode was pretty much the pinnacle anyway, I don't really see how it could be improved that much.

 

[Tel (they/them)]

GTA 5 is the daddy, I loved everything about that game, especially Trevor.

I'll buy it again as soon as it's released on XB1

An extra 40 hours gameplay apparently, that's ****loads!

Really?? That's probably adding another 50% onto the game easily. Nice one.

New Vegas is certainly the most recent one! It isnt an expansion pack, it is a game all on its own! It was canny, with some nice ideas and additional touches which improved on fallout 3, but the whole environment and storyline wasnt a patch on Fallout 3!
I'm of the understanding that Fallout 1 & 2 were just point and click turn based games! There was no first person/3rd person about them! More strategy based I think!
