@SplooshDmg I very nearly had it in the main section tbh!

@KilloWertz Yep, if you take a look at the pics you can see the LB and RB now have textured grip where the OG doesn't. Also, the main grips at the sides are rubberised now, so they're better than the plastic texture grip of the default pad.

@NickramCTID The Steam user reviews are in a state I believe, It's a great game though, regardless of whatever is going on over there to have it dragged down.

@Lavalera I think if you take your time there's tons to love here. I hope folk give it a chance for a few hours and see the combat as a small part of the overall picture.

I'm very impressed with how highly the OG is rating here. Good stuff!

@rustyduck Come on now, less than seven hours to beat pro mode, how hard can it be? sweating

Nope just old age making a fool of me again 😅

@sjb2016 My bad! Has been amended. Every time I think of NBA 2K my brain says EA, I can't help it.

Hey guys, sorry I won't be able to come into work today, I...eh...yeah, I'm bedridden, very sick. I'm gonna need 100 hours off.

@Romans12 I wouldn't say it's any harder, not noticeably so at least. Definitely not an issue, or anywhere near Souls. You should breeze through most bosses too as they're not really designed to be huge barriers.

@JayJ Think you'll be reading quite a few of those today 😉

@gravelmonkey If you can beat him there's nothing anywhere near that level until quite far in. It's defo an early spike, but second phase just block all his attacks and yeah, you gotta nail the timing on the red attac deflections. Once you've got that down he's toast.

@Magabro He's defo tough but once you learn the deflection timing of his big attack he's pretty simple. First phase you can just rush him and attack, build up your gauge and spirit attack him repeatedly. Second phase, steer clear and let him pull out his big red attack, then deflect it for big damage. Just takes a little patience to learn the timing. All his other attacks can be blocked in phase two.

@Kaloudz I'd same I'm fairly decent at Soulslikes having beaten all of FromSoftware's previous games. This one has a few difficulty spikes along the way, nothing insurmountable or on a par with some of the big bosses in Dark Souls or Sekiro. But for the most part I found it all quite forgiving for the genre. The morale system and recruits really do help out when you're stuck.

@BlackMayge How dare you disagree with my score.

I was very close to opting for a 10. Just those handful of very minor platforming annoyances hold it back. What a belter but.

@Fenbops Definitely give it a whirl, it's aged really well and it's just a great experience. I reckon it'll suck you in fairly quickly if you give it a chance.

Merry Christmas!

@MaccaMUFC I mean, I did say that in the review. You're either gonna love it or not. It's a light-hearted ribbing of a game I didn't enjoy. Don't worry about it.

@Mince : )

@CunningPig I hated GTA V.

@Beermonkey Enjoy it, dude! My review is just my opinion. Enjoy it!

@NEStalgia It really is awful. I think if you like the humour it smoothes over this stuff because you want to see what one of your guns says next. It's the most marmite thing I've played in ages.

@Mince Dude. Put the bong down.

@JayJ You didn't like the music?! Dude. The soundtrack on this game is a cracker. Maybe just not for you.

@Darylb88 Yasss

@themightyant Yeah, I haven't read any other reviews of the game but I disagree completely with the idea it's bad or breaks the characters. There's some cheese and lame lines here and there, it's easy enough to post a video clip and make it look bad, but overall, and when you dig into the social aspect of it and take it as a whole, it's actually a very well written and likeable portrayal of these heroes. You get to know a lot about their personal motivations, and it goes beyond the usual bland smartass quips that we get in some other marvel stuff and even in the movies tbh. It's just good fun, endearing stuff. Of course this is just my opinion.

@Kaloudz There really aren't any scares here beyond the jump scares of the surprise small enemies. It's pretty much all out action for the second half too. It's violent over scary.

@CunningPig Yep, as I said in the review, it's gonna be an acquired taste this one. The screenshots change around as you reload the page.

@PJOReilly But as far as them attacking goes, it's barely even about that, it's about raking them down and keeping your combo meter going when there's a lull in the action by getting clever with environmental damage. It's absolutely an acquired taste this stuff.

@CunningPig That's 100% a design decision though. It's a good looking game but it's also very knowingly retro arcade stuff. That look, the countless samey baddies, it's an aesthetic choice.

@hypnotoad DON'T CALL ME SHIRLEY.

@hypnotoad Haha. Nobody said call the cops. Play it. Tell me it doesn't start repeating itself. It just doesn't do enough.

@Titntin It's when you're playing it. The visual cues and setup of the levels, it's very, very old-fashioned. Which is fine. But I'm not giving it high scores for copying ten year old action games. It needs a few tricks of its own in there too, which it doesn't have. It is still fun though. It's throwaway nonsense.

@GrizzledVeteran online only.

@BlackMayge Hope you enjoy it, but please let me know if you found it got repetitive and boring a few hours in.

@Stoned_Patrol It's just different people's opinions of things, mate, you can make your own mind up.

@Amin1998 Not sure about verified but I've been chatting folk playing it on there and apparently it runs perfectly.

@somnambulance I mentioned it in the review, it's roughly 20hrs, maybe a bit less depending on how thoroughly you explore. You could do it in 15.

@Sol4ris I mean, I agree with you, but I've been playing fifa forever and never spent a penny on FUT. Still gotta review the rest of the game, which is very good.

@Darylb88 Have you tried the workarounds we've detailed in the article?

@Kaloudz EA Sports FC!

@Would_you_kindly It's on PS for £20 I believe.

@GreyGhost117 Great! Have fun!

@GreyGhost117 I had this too, went into search on home screen and went to the game in the store that way and it worked fine!

@Kaloudz seems to be finished, not quite sure what that tag is about.

@Pac_Bot Oh, nice!

Honestly, it blew me away when i booted it up, such a great game.

just opinions, guys. let's all chill.

My bad about the local mp on Switch, it seems it is included after all, apologies for that, I shall go for a nap.
