Moderator Tommy 12,604 Posted April 2, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 2, 2020 Played Rocket League again today for the first time in 18 months. Started a ranked (I was relatively high ranked before I stopped) match even though I was rusty as shit and got flamed so hard. That community is toxic as shit, haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, Resi 3 wasn't considered as good as Resi 2 back in the day anyway and I liked Resi 3 regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it came out long time ago a lot of people thought it was utter garbage but the addition of Nemesis chasing you around made it fun. I think this is going to be more of the same really and while Nemesis has been nerfed a bit (so I am told) I am going to enjoy it regardless.

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted April 3, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) For anyone into team play games like CS:GO or Overwatch take a look at this from Riot games. https://playvalorant.com/en-us/ PC Beta is opening up and its supposed to be quite fun. And of course they copied both those games to make this but what's new they did the same when they copied Dota to make them MOBA famous.

Started it earlier today and I'm liking it so far, though Nemesis is an utter bastard as you can't outrun it, so trying to dodge it while running forward is a twat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how they dont mess about and start the tension from the get-go. Even the regular zombies aren't easy to dodge anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot here of course just went straight for hardcore though I don't like having no ink ribbons and saving whenever you fancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that just adds to the fun factor of the game. I am playing it on standard first to see what its like honestly then I'll do another run.

Ammo hasn't been a massive issue so far but keeping your health up is difficult, especially with Nemesis on your ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I haven't tried yet which I am going to when he shows up next is what happens when I unload the grenade launcher into him. I know in the old game he drops weapon expansion kits so I am wondering if its the same here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's the same in this version. I can dodge but trying to keep running and looking at Nemesis behind you is a pain in the ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,177 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I've been playing Prey. So far it's like BioShock and Dishonored had a baby (the Dishonored connection makes sense, because Arkane studios made Dishonored). I'm trying to beat it before the 15th, when it's off GamePass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on which two you complete My list of RE games to finality is quite long haha and I have played all of them. Also, those Revelation games get so much hate but they are way more fun than some of the other more action-oriented games out in the series. I'd have put REV2 in the top 5 but I thought about what I was playing when I got to REV2 and decided not to.

I actually have a copy in GC but never got round to playing it. Same with Resi 4 on Wii and Resi 7 on PS4. Somehow, I played Resi 5 fully and partially of 6 (though that was a god send).
