World at War

Black Ops II

People play COD campaigns?

I haven't played any on this gen, but I enjoyed the campaigns on the previous consoles.

Yeah, regardless of how people may feel about the new ones, those first two MW campaigns are stone-cold classics. I just replayed MW remastered and was blown away by how that thing holds up.

I've never enjoyed a COD or Halo campaign - those were always about sitting in a lounge with buddies getting drunk and shooting each other.

Steam sale's now on - Doom is 67% off so that's a definite buy for me. Considering Cities: Skylines and possibly Deus Ex (50% off).

I still recall the general layout of many of those levels and I haven't played it 6 or 7 years.

I don't think I've played the single player of a pure FPS since Half Life 2. When everything started being more multiplayer focused, I kinda lost interest in the genre. Doom's single player is supposed to be really good though, so I'm looking forward to it.

Far Cry 4's single player was tops

[LoathedVermin72]

There are still plenty of good campaigns out there.

What didn't you like about BF1's controls, LV?

What didn't you like about BF1's controls, LV?

I dunno exactly. The sensitivity was totally wonky to the point where I could barely aim the gun. It was bizarre. I messed with sensitivity and settings and nothing helped, so I just gave up.

That is odd. Was it a lag issue? I know the guns in that game are a little less sophisticated on purpose.

I prefer the Battlefield controls to CoD. A little more weight to them.

Interesting. That wonky sensitivity, having a tough time controlling the gun and whatnot, is exactly what I love about this game. Feel ultra-realistic given the time period, and helps a casual gamer like myself stand a chance...

BF1's controls are like a mid-80s pick-up truck, with a lot of give and drift; COD controls are like a Ferrari: super tight and responsive. I prefer the former, but can see why you'd like the latter.

Yeah this sounds right. That's exactly why I don't like it. "Realistic" is one of the biggest red flags to me when it comes to gaming.

What are your thoughts on VR LV?

[LoathedVermin72]

What are your thoughts on VR LV?

I think it sounds amazing in theory. I'd love to try it.

Didn't play it, looks fairly boring after FC4.

Heard good things. Seems like a great deal for $15.
