Which one had scenes from Vietnam I believe that was modern warfare also? I think I stopped playing cod after it got into futuristic warfare stuff.
I believe that was the first Black Ops game. There have been so many, hard to keep straight.

cod ww2 single player.. short but great
Just finished farcr 6 that I got for 20 bucks from best buy. Worth the money. Got like 60 hours out of it.

I'm gonna give Ghost of Tsushima a break for a minute and come back to the DLC later.

Just started Miles Morales. Pretty good fun if you were a fan of the first one.

I usually don’t like jumping between games but I don’t blame you for a change of pace. I feel like I’ve been playing lots of samurai shit

Sounds more like you're failing to beat the final boss in Metroid Dread, soldier.

Gtf back in there!

I think they will have to put on my gravestone, "Still needs to go back and finish BloodBourne"

Those of you with the next gen systems is it worth paying around 1800 for a lg oled or others similar to it or stick to the sub $1000 stuff that is always on sale?

I need recommendations from some of you folks who play the main stay FPS titles.

I bought some Battlefield games when they were on sale last year.

View attachment 16183

Are any of the Battlefield games actually fun to play on Singleplayer against just the AI?

Last I played them was Battlefield 1942 (The Original) and Battlefield Vietnam, so its been like 15 years.

Have they managed to create any kind of worthwhile Campaigns or Singleplayer sandbox type play, or is it still purely a Multiplayer game on an objective map and if you play alone its just kinda stupid because the AI is bad?

Also if anyone strongly recommends any of the Call of Duty Franchise games from the past several years.

Last I played was Modern Warfare 3, short/fun campaign... worth it on a Steam deal.

I get an FPS itch and can't find any titles that I enjoy enough to play/re-play when the itch comes.

I thought it was gonna be Cyberpunk 2077, but then that house of cards imploded and I didn't even bother finishing the game.

I've played all the:

DOOM
Dishonored
Deus Ex
Fallout
Far Cry
Dead Island
Dying Light
Half Life
L4D

Go back through the Halos.. Master Chief Collection. Hmm, Reach has my name all over it...

Finally got around to playing Wasteland 3. Fucking hilarious. There is a faction called The Gippers that worship/are led by an AI Reagan that partially inhabits a giant statue that zaps people with eye lasers:

He offers you jelly beans, but since jelly beans don't exist anymore his "Nancy" thinks it's a euphemism for political discourse.

You liking it so far?

I am enjoying the combat/story, but the one thing irking me is some of the like puzzle/wall-running parts.

It has broken my stride more than a few times where I'm enjoying the story and combat is ebbing and flowing and then oh shoot how do I get around this blocked pipe.

runs around for 10 mins trying to find the obvious thing that should be obvious but isn't obvious.

Ohhhh if you'd just looked straight up in front of that blocked pipe you'd have seen the path goes straight upwards.

I get I'm an idiot of a sort for not seeing it, but it keeps breaking my immersion.

The other thing that happens is often you reach a spot they want you to halt for a checkpoint and a talk with BT, but they offer no great cues, so often I keep moving and wall running and then I realize I wasn't supposed to jump that gap and I die as a dialog begins lol.

The gameplay itself is awesome, I should probably up the difficulty, but I kinda enjoy feeling like John Wick with my own personal murder-robot-exosuit-buddy.

Its just those moments where you're like "I think John Wick woulda just kicked that fucking door in or went thru a window, this wall-running bullshit feels contrived"

Finished Titanfall 2.

Some ***** kills my robot friend.

He leaves me his head, containing a gun and a knife.

I go full John Wick on anyone left in front of me, and apparently get his brains to a new body and he's alive again.

Then we're on a suicide mission together, and he abandons me to kill himself and blow up some weapon thing.

9/10

Protip: Never trust a robot in a suicide pact.

Glad you enjoyed it. Kind of on the short side, but pretty damn good. I hope they make a Titanfall 3.
