RETIRED - The all inclusive video game thread

[bada]

I'm starting to get into Battlefront. Is the Season pass worth it? It's $30. I bought the game for $20 a few months back so I don't feel like its a huge rip off to spend $30 more but I don't want to be stupid.

The star cards and weapons from Outer Rim are pretty good, and the maps are fine.

The star cards and weapons from Bespin are awesome, and the maps are awesome. The X-8 Night Sniper is a game changer.

The star cards and weapons from Death Star aren't great, except that everyone used the Heavy Repeater, so you almost have to get it to compete now. The map is idiotic, because you have to play the fly/ground/fly mode (can't remember what it's called).

And then the maps for the Rogue One DLC look great; no idea on the weapons and star cards.

Good info. I think I'm gonna do it.

We all need to play together.

The lobbying/loading on Battlefront is a pretty major annoyance. It takes waaaaaay longer than it should.

And they give you nothing interesting to look at. It's a half-finished game in many ways, but it's still fun.

So far, Final Fantasy 15 has a messy as hell story, a incredible combat system and a rewarding progression system. The combat is carrying the game.

The world seems huge with a ton to do. It's been fun but I'm not that far in.

I just want to go home and play more Dishonored 2.

I just want to go home and play more Dishonored 2.

Stayed up way too late trying to get a perfect run of the first level on the original. I think it has such a special place in my gaming heart because it was the first stealth game I ever really enjoyed/completed. And the art is still crazy beautiful. Really looking forward to playing the new one.

I'll probably grab a used copy in 6 months or so, looks fun

I love how contained, yet varied each level is. So many ways to go about each one. Messing around with different powers/abilities is really fun too.

Getting much better at Battlefront. Does anyone else ever just stop while playing a game and think, "Holy shit, I can't believe this exists?" Like it's insane to me how advanced and immersive the wish fulfillment is now. Who didn't want to battle AT-ATs and fly around in a robot battle as a kid? It's amazing.

That wish fulfillment and sense of scale is what makes the game to me, lack of single player and more modes/maps be damned. The gameplay is also silky smooth.

Yeah, and the graphics are gorgeous. I keep having the "holy shit" moments with both this and Titanfall 2.

Absolutely, the sound design is top notch too. It just feels like Star Wars.

My main problem is I find it hard to see who I should be shooting. I feel like an old man. I'd say its a flaw in the game but it doesn't seem to be affecting the people killing me.

On the big maps that can certainly be a problem. The Endor level is maddening for this very reason.

Definitely. My friend who's a huge SW fan comes over to play it and it's basically his favorite thing ever.

One complaint about Battlefront: it takes waaaaaaaay too long to level up and unlock items. I'm pretty frustrated by my lack of options right now.

The X-8 Sniper completely negates this problem.

Edit: 'Coz you can see the thermal imaging of any character on screen.

Skip seeing the Arrival for the fourth time and just buy it. That game is going to be huge.
