General Games Discussion

That's the thing though, i don't even consider it anywhere near the best lol.

I have played the game 4 times near enough and the game doesn't really pick up and feels like a chore until Novigrad tbh and then explodes once you get to Skellige.

As much as I loved Skellige (mainly for aesthetic reasons), my favourite place is still Velen in terms of quests and side quests. It was probably the most detailed part of the game. I didn't like Novigrad as much as others.

As i said no one will agree with me lol, i realise it's an opinion pretty much no one will agree with but it is what it is.

Completely agreed. The writing and atmosphere of Velen was when I was rating the game 10/10. For me the standard was only matched at the Battle of Kaer Mohen, Carnal Sins quest and Geralt/Ciri reunion. Not just the Bloody Baron one, the Keira Metz, crones, Johnny, Graham and that dead girl and all the other sidequests (Wild at Heart, Peller etc) were superbly written and designed. Novigrad and Skellige were great but not that good IMO.

Yea my thoughts too


Just remembered the battle of Kaer Mohen. Think that was my favourite quest in the game.

Quantum Break (Remedy Entertainment/Microsoft Studios)
The Last Guardian (GenDesign/Sony Computer Entertainment)
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (Naughty Dog/Sony Computer Entertainment)

ESPORTS PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok (League of Legends/SK Telecom T1)
Olof "olofmeister" Kajbjer (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive/Fnatic)
Peter "ppd" Dager (Dota 2/Evil Geniuses)
Syed Sumail "Suma1L" Hassan (Dota 2/Evil Geniuses)

Messi of videogames, what more is there to say? Doesn't help that there isn't a standout CS:GO Team.

ESPORTS TEAM OF THE YEAR
Evil Geniuses
Fnatic
Optic Gaming
SK Telecom T1
Team SoloMid

I'd give it to SKT for bouncing back from last year, but the Korean exodus helped a bit and I'm leaning towards Fnatic's success in League of Legends AND Counterstrike. All the other teams have only had single team success.

Oh I totally forgot that on the LoL side Fnatic completely rebuilt the team and won both EU splits as well as reaching the WC semi's with 4 (then 3 after Rekkles returned) rookie's.

ESPORTS GAME OF THE YEAR
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Sledgehammer Games/Activision)
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (Valve)
Dota 2 (Valve)
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft (Blizzard Entertainment)
League of Legends (Riot Games)

4 Top Teams on an equalish footing trading tournaments all year. Also:

Good Xbox lads beta testing it for us

Anyone doubting my comparison of IGN to Goal.com; Exhibit holy f did they really publish that?

And you can't even pull the whisper thin excuse of third party apps because game recording is built into Windows 10

Definitely throwing money in their direction.

Same; it's either 45€ for Just Cause 3 or 49€ for Battlefront Deluxe.

I can't really convince myself to support EA releasing Battlefront at full AAA price when the content doesn't match up.

hmmm tempted

As someone who stayed up playing it till nearly 5am I beg to differ tbh.

Hero Hunt was *bleep* hilarious lmao

Our reaction everytime we didn't get the kill to get the hero for next round

RGs brother RedGunner1996 kept stealing kills from us ffs.

I didn't expect to like it tbh but the mode was a lot better than i thought.

His name was RealGunner1996

@RealGunner

Thought it was Redgunner lol? this is even funnier

Pretty sure i said at least 3 times, *bleep* off RGs brother you stealing hero twat.

It's a matter of principle; Battlefront shouldn't be a full price game. I'm not saying it should be €19 like Rocket League or €15 like CS:GO or Free-To-Play like Warframe, Team Fortress 2, Tribes: Ascend.

But perhaps it should match the price of another hyped AAA multiplayer only FPS - Overwatch. 39€.

But not full price like Battlefield where not only the multiplayer more fully featured there's also a campaign.

Will you play it until 5AM in 2 months time?

No because it made me feel ill

But i'll play it most nights in 2 months i'm sure, there is much more content then people are saying.

I'm more than ok with what i got tbh, this thing has been way overblown.

lmfaoooooo who was that pos

MT secretly buying the game and renaming his account


Was at gym for 2 hours ffs.

He was doing the exact same thing MT would do as well lol.

Let you do all the damage and come in at last second and steal the kill smh.

What is this
