I preordered it last night and got it installed. Super pumped about it. Hope it’s as good as BF1.
Lego jurassic park. Heh. I dislike all those 1st person games....or maybe hook me up with marvel vs. Capcom. Ha!
It has all the potential to be one of the better Battlefield games in the franchise. They really did their homework on getting input from gamers and it really has paid off having all the alpha testers and the beta to work things out.
Looking forward to it.
Hope it brings back the glory days of BF Bad Company 2 and BF3.... BF4 was the start of the downfall.

I kinda stopped playing military shooters after one of the CoD:MW games years ago, and I’ve never gotten to BF game. I think I tried to give BF:4 a try at some point, but it kept freezing before I could even get through the first mission, so I eventually gave up.
Are the campaigns good on these games? I think that the main reason I gave up on these is that they started putting all their focus on online play, and I just don’t do the online stuff

it’s funny to me that my “back in my day” thing is “back in my day we didn’t have online play. We played video games by ourselves. And we liked it that way!”
ETA: except contra when you spent the night at someone’s house

Yep, our “online play” was sitting on a couch with a friend, eating a Tombstone pizza, and burning through Contra, Bad Dudes, or TMNT the arcade game for the umpteenth time. Man, those were the days
Trash talking during street fighter 2....because loser leaves the couch.
Accidentally killing your friend by jumping too high on the vertical stage on contra is one of my favorite memories. There was an unwritten rule that they were taking one of your lives if that happened. So you would start apologizing profusely as you started going up as fast as you could trying to stay ahead of them. You just hoped their rage would fade and they would give up.
The BF6 campaign looks like it'll be hot garbage. The game is the first in the series to be a collaborative effort under the Battlefield Studios umbrella, but EA closed the game's primary single player developer (Ridgeline Games) last year, and I believe shifted their work to Criterion and/or Motive to finish up, so I'm sure that didn't help.
Battlefield games have never had great campaigns, outside of maybe Bad Company 2.
If I get bored with Apex I may try it. Never have been big on campaign modes. Mostly want an FPS where I can shoot people without thinking too much.
My eyesight and reflexes stopped me from playing games geared towards pvp. I’m currently working on Borderlands 4. At least I will be when I get back from the beach.
Unfortunately, for I couldn't give two shlts about that franchise, even though I played the ancient birds-eye view one on PS1. Once the game started you could take out the disc and insert a cd album. You could play the game with your own soundtrack.
GTA5 and Skyrim are two of my all time favorite games, and here’s something that blew my mind
GT5 released Sept 2013 on the PS3
Skyrim released Nov 2011 on the PS3
My god, can those companies get around to releasing another game?
The Grand Theft Auto franchise, largely due to GTA V and its online component, generated approximately $710 million in revenue for Take-Two Interactive in their Fiscal Year 2025 (April 2024 – March 2025). This includes ongoing revenue from GTA V's base game, GTA Online updates, and mobile versions of the GTA trilogy.
It’s made over 10 billion since it released. Unreal.
Have I told you about my lord and savior, Elden Ring?
I've tried it and like what I've seen from story and visual aspect, but am *** at those Souls type games. My whiteboy hands have got no rhythm.
Yeah, you definitely have to embrace the pain. I have been flirting with the idea of starting Clair obscur. Worth it?
Between those two, which one should I do? I’m not kidding when I say I have known nothing besides Elden Ring for as long as I can remember
Clair Obscur is probably the more accessible of the two. Its kinda like the older Final Fantasy games but a lot more beautiful and more European as opposed to anime. The story is incredible, the soundtrack is probably the best I've heard ever, and you've got Charlie Cox (Daredevil) and Andy Serkis (Gollum) doing voice acting.
BG3 is an amazing game and has no requirement to know anything about the previous two (you'd have to have been an upgraded nerd in late 90s-early 2000s to have likely played them), but it's a lot more involved. You also don't need to have a D&D background, though it certainly helps. It's the ultimate choose your own adventure type game. Every problem you encounter in the game has an absolute ton of viable solutions.
It's the best way to describe it. You go into a camp of goblins. You can pull your weapons and murder everyone if you want. Or you can join them and go kill the good guys. Or you can poison their booze. Or disguise yourself as one of them and infiltrate their leadership. Almost every scenario is like that. If you can dream it, it's probably possible within the game.
No, but my dad has Hemoroids, sometimes it hurts so bad he can't sit down.
From my point of view minthara is the good guy and the best lay in the game.
Also not a full spoiler but what sold me on the game was a friend showing me that there's a boss battle i can win by talking the boss into killing themselves. Was very satisfying to do that myself.
My video gaming peaked with pitfall on the Atari 2600 and was officially over by Super Mario Bros 3 and Tecmo Bowl on Nintendo. A while back my son tried to get me to play Madden with him on his PS4 and the controls are beyond me. Once you add another directional controller and 6 17ing buttons I'm out. Now get off my lawn.
Turn based combat is your friend. Try an rpg not a battle of "stick skill"
I’m not gonna say anything negative about Baldur’s Gate because it won about a gazillion awards, but I had a tough time with it because I just couldn’t get into the whole dice roll concept. Like, if I want to jump from a ledge to another ledge, I just want to press A to do it. In this game, basically every action is a dice role, and you can feasibly fail at the simplest tasks.
all that to say that if it ends up not being for you too, Clair Obscure is great. It’s a slower paced, turn based game, but one of the best stories that’s out there and a lot of fun to play.
If I pay money for a shooter game it should have God mode on it. The original Doom had it and is the only reason I finished it. I don't want to get stuck on a level and have to play it 20 times to just get to the next level and play it 15 times. I don't want to have to learn to block shite or hide behind things. The developer should want me to have God mode so I can finish the game fairly quickly and look to buy another game. It can only be available in single player. And putting it on easy is not the same. Also in-game purchases are not just a NO they are a HELL NO
