On the plus side, thereโs a โ12 piece puzzleโ reward that gives 100 points for 3 bing searches everyday for 7 days, and completing the puzzle nets 1000.
Might differ for each country but are you sure that's how you're supposed to read it? I just got it for the first time and I think mine nets me 9 points for the 3 daily searches. At least it won't go beyond the first three and just 9 points. I get a 100 points after doing the 3 searches for 7 days. Which means the puzzle won't complete until after 12 weeks.
@Sol4ris in fairness ubisoft does just keep making these same games whilst to my knowledge GG took the jump from killzone to these open world Horizon games. One's a repeat offender, the other isn't. And in my defence I didn't even like the GG games all that much either, setting was cool but lacklustre side quests and whatnot killed it for me.
@darkswabber I agree but that's not the point I'm trying to make. I think it deserves a higher score than the one it's got right now, that's what my experience equates to. @JustinSane I absolutely agree. Short term, 2018 was great as well but it pales in comparison to this year's offerings. And I haven't even played the majority ๐
Yessss at last, nearly picked it up on sale yesterday.
Now I just gotta find some people to play it with hehe.
@Spider-Kev dunno if serious or not but it refers to the formula often used by fromsoftware in their games 'starting' with Demon's Souls.
You can basically dumb it down by saying it's hard.
@CenturianShark I've been meaning to try it for a while. It'll get touched up so if it'll actually look decent and magically happens to be around the same price I might bite. Alternatively, might give it a try anyway with ubi+ next month.
Be amazing if they had some kinda anime collab with this one as well. The possibilities are endless. I was so bummed when I read I couldn't get the Berserk armor sets in the Dark Arisen version, and the 360 one didn't have BC.
Like 10k atm, I haven't racked up that many to begin with since I started. Normally wait for a game to get a very deep sale and take another tenner off through rewards. Debating on if I should start using it to rent movies though. I do watch a lot.
@kelomaniack you should really paraphrase that 4 player co-op is a specific gamemode that is basically just a survival game mode with constant waves of enemies and doesn't even unlock until you're well into the game.
Also progress doesn't carry over for the guest in 2 player co-op.
One of the game's biggest faults.
@Kaloudz well I don't know about that. Never played the original. I know they fleshed a lot of things out because it's not the full game but that's it. I didn't know about the Shenmue prequel ๐ฎ Apparently Yu Suzuki has compared it to what Yakuza 0 did for the yakuza games. Would be nice I guess, I only ever tried shenmue 1 and couldn't finish it. I guess I'm too much of a new age gamer because I did not know what to do and was tired of looking up guides.
@Kaloudz I've tried it last year or earlier this year but couldn't get into it. Like a weird mix of turn based and arpg combat. But I saw the rebirth trailer trailer and figured I might as well give it another go.
@Fiendish-Beaver wow ๐ฎ Glad to see you're still going strong! I've been gaming since 2016 so it's not a big sample size but my statement rings true nonetheless.
