@themightyant I find the hate for the graphics very odd. Very obviously a choice designed to fuse cutscenes and gameplay and have everything flow dynamically, imo. It's very effective.
@RadioHedgeFund Yeah, they've totally streamlined all this, as I was saying in review, the downtime is minimised and the narrative stuff is much better paced so that annoying side of things is vastly improved!
@Darude84 I had plenty of time to play and deliver my opinion. Sorry you feel this way, but I think you'll find lots of bad reviews of this DLC coming in over the next few days. It stinks.
@Fiendish-Beaver There's also Ubi+, could sub for a month? That's what I'm doing for PC 😂 Regardless, cheers for reading and enjoy if you get around to it.
@Fiendish-Beaver If you have zero knowledge it'll take a little while. But it's not a lot to learn to get decent. Just don't worry about defence until you've got the offense down.
You could maybe play a Madden on GP or EA Play to get the grips of the rules and game flow first. (Then switch it up to the trial for this and see how you feel).
@Jey887 Yeah, sorry to hear you're not gelling with it, but yeah, this is the exact case in point really. I'm not sure what the issue is, seems as though it's become a negative term without me getting the fax.
@Nintendo4Sonic It's a perfect fit for game pass because it's an acquired taste. That's all that was meant by the statement. Are people really trying this hard to get upset now? I don't get out much, so genuine question.
I won't be changing my review score, just to save anyone the energy of asking me to or enquiring about it. I reviewed the experience I was given. The end. The microtransactions, I don't understand the need for the greed, but they are completely optional.
And for the love of Master Chief, stop comparing other reviews and other reviewer's opinions of microtransactions in other games to this one.
@Dimey Yep, it's a 10 for me all day (even with the microtransactions). I haven't checked the IGN video or review out yet. It is weird to begin with when you can't lock on, but you don't need it. Not every game needs to play the same would be my resolution mentally to this really.
@VisitingComet1 No, there were no microtransactions or details about them during our playthrough and they are completely unnecessary to enjoy the game. Ignore them.
@JoyfulFire I have explained the 10 in the review. The framerate doesn't change how I feel about it at all. I'm sorry you find it hard to trust but it's just me on my lonesome here playing the games and writing what I thought. There's no agenda.
@Nightcrawler71 I'm not sure ATM tbh, but it does seem as though PS5 is worse from what im gathering. I personally just didn't have any issues that bothered me enough to sully how amazing it is.
@johnK its not like Elden Ring in that regard, it's hard in as much as you need to plan and rest and be prepped for exploring, the action itself is much more regular action RPG difficulty.

@PJOReilly Well ,was, until I played this game! 😅
Re: Review: EA Sports College Football 25 (Xbox) - Slick And Pretty Gridiron Action That Shows Madden A Few New Moves
@Nightcrawler71 I'm around the same level of knowledge really. It's fine. You pick the rest up if you play one or two seasons.

Re: Review: F1 24 (Xbox) - Codemasters Delivers The F1 Goods. Again. And Again. And Again.
@TheOfflineGamer Ah. We reviewed with pad so I'm afraid that's slipped through. Would need to do a full wheel review, hopefully they'll sort it soon.
Re: Review: F1 24 (Xbox) - Codemasters Delivers The F1 Goods. Again. And Again. And Again.
@TheOfflineGamer Have you played it yet? Genuine question as I'm not having any issue with the handling.

Re: Review: Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 (Xbox): An Incredible Spectacle That Lacks An Essential Hook
@Cikajovazmaj Sorry dude. We only got code very late and I've only had time for a single playthrough on X.
Re: Redfall One Year On: Xbox's Vampire Misfire Still Lacks Bite
@Trmn8r Who directed it and what other games has he worked on? I think we can definitely very safely apply that pedigree here as an expectation.

Re: Review: Dragon's Dogma 2 (Xbox) - Capcom's Cult Classic Makes A Triumphant Return
@Dimey I have to say I can't agree with the camera issues, or the whole issue with no lock on. It works perfectly. But different strokes!
Re: Review: Dragon's Dogma 2 (Xbox) - Capcom's Cult Classic Makes A Triumphant Return
