Bought the original on PS3,couldn't get into it. I then got the "the dark arisen" version for free from PSN+ and tried again on PS3 and couldn't get into it still lol.
So this is the 3rd time i'll be trying it again on PC.
I've played about 10 hours into Assassins's Creed: Origins game, finally getting to Alexandria. The settings are marvelous (huge draw distances), gameplay smooth, and performance really good. I play almost maxed out and see between 55-60fps most of the time.
It is a huge CPU hog. I average about 80 to 85% CPU usage, and when I check, all 4 cores and 4 HT threads are being heavily used. PC World ran it at 1440 and had 6 core CPU and also had high CPU usage, so it's not a 1080p thing.
Anyway, combat is slightly improved, with dual and heavy attacks. Also a feature is a pet hawk, which is basically your eagle vision. Mounted combat (horse and camel), is very satisfying and powerful.
BTW, the devs team is the same one that did Black Flag. That's a good thing.
Just finished Destiny 2 Free Trial. Did not have time to take any screenshots. The trial is about 30 minutes long. You do get to customize, and create one of the 3 classes in game. A few cut scenes and that is is.
The game looks and plays incredibly well. All maxed out. I think sampling was at 8x. What bothered me was the space ships "invasion" scene, they were leaving behind huge smock trails. ....as if they were very bad diesel engines. Makes no sense.

Em i missing something ?
After the cut scene where the bad guy in white armor pushes me of the platform, i end up at the bottom of the city. I wake up,badly injured. I find my ghost that heals me,i still have my gun with zero ammo and there is no way to go. The map will not let you go further.
If you press TAB to see the objectives it says: exit the game press"O" . That's it.
You are doing something wrong, or not seeing the right way. Because after that you come up to the "farm" where you meet some survivors. There are also 2 planets to visit after that, each with 4+ missions and a couple of public events

I uninstalled the game hours ago. I did download 32gb i think worth of game....kinda to much for 30 minutes ...so maybe i am doing something. wrong. Did you play this trial on PS4 ? Is it PC....is it downloaded via Battle.net ? I want to play the rest... but i mean it. After you get up and heal yourself it says Exit game ...the trial was over.
---------------------------
In a completely new light, i have found something that completes me more.
I think it's a very good balance between World of Warcraft/Tera / Guild Wars 2...
It really shows in the sharp moves and great fighting technique . Similar to Soul Blades as well. The lore is huge which kinda brings back to World of Warcraft days. But what really encouraged me to it,was the simple feel of it. Only Guild Wars 2 had this sense of immersion, you really feel that world around you is alive.
This could be the most overlooked mmorpg. it has style,and action packed all the way.
Don't wanna ruin it for anyone with silly spoilers ,as the game has deep rich story line and some boss fights.

Realistic match, I pick up my trusty A6M5 otsu, carrier take off as usual. Climbing to altitude, 5000m, a little higher than usual, we are going against the USA and you don't want to be below a P-47.
A lone P-51 Mustang goes for what he expects is an easy kill, he starts diving at 4000m, going for one of my teammates. Fails the Boom and Zoom and starts climbing again. Too bad, he meets the fire of my 7,7mm, 13,2mm and 20mm guns. One down.
Change of tactics, as I lost altitude failing to dive on a P-61 Black Widow, I decide to go for some ground targets, artillery and AAA. In the process the legendary agility of the Zero saves my life as I make a diving P-38 Lightning overshoot in a loop.
After this it's time to regain altitude, so I step away from the fight and go to my carriers. An ally is fighting both the same P-38 from before and a F6F, so with 120 20mm rounds left maybe I'll help. The altitude was not on my favor but if I did nothing a member of the squad was going to die. The P-38 ignores me, but the F6F tries a full head-on. Bad for me, the Zero doesn't have the armor or fire-power for that, but nevertheless I try anyway.
I manage to damage the F6F's surface controls, good, but while avoiding the head-on , a single 12,7mm round hits my left wing, and as the Zero is painted with gasoline, it catches fire. Can't turn the combustion off and I lost my wing in a not-self-sealing fuel tank explosion. Out of the game, and half a minute later the F6F dives into the ocean, unable to move it's elevator. 2 planes and 7 ground targets, good result but barely enough to cover the cost of repairing my plane.
The enemy team right now is the single P-38 from before against an A7M2 Reppu and three A6M, one of the Zeroes landing in the carrier for repairs. 4vs1, match won, right? No.
The damaged and low on ammo A6M3 falls to the cruel sea while repairing on the carrier, 3vs1.
The A7M disconnects, 2vs1.
One of the A6M5s goes for the kill, misses, tries again, a couple of not lethal hits, the P-38 is leaking water from one of it's engines. Then my ally is took down by an AAA in a near island.
The last A6M, who was near the fight, is almost in range, but the P-38 baits him into the same island with the AA guns. My last squad mate takes the bite and shoots, P-38 on fire, and at the same time a shell hits the Zero cutting it's wing and setting it on fire (obviously).
Match finished, with no victors.
And I enjoyed every minute of it.
You might be. I uninstalled the game last night. It was to much for me .
Btw...since there are so many mmorpg players here. What exactly can you tell me about Guild Wars 2 ?
When i picked it up last year,for free....i think i wasn't in the right state of mind. But now i wanna give it another try. Path of Fire is out,and i am considering in getting into it. Sure i will play from lvl 1 and start fresh.
I can't find any good reviews. Cuz i don't know what is going on with these gems . Is this a pay to win game ? There is a pack 2000 germs for 21,54 EUR. Do you buy cosmetics in game ?
I kinda wanna play GW2 so i can finish the main story. No point in grinding so much. I saw many reviews, i just don't know if its worth it.
In the other hand, Destiny 2 looks good to. And i think it involves the same amount of grinding.
i posted about it quite a few about on this thread xD it's fun to grind solo insane (not starhenge insane ... that one is insane even at normal difficulty lvl )

GW2 never got into it and p2w to me is not an issue as most people mix up pay to win and pay to advance faster (and most people who pay to win, loose most of the time ... specially in games where player does more than gear world of warships is a nice example, people complain you can get a Tier8 with $$$ but being in an USS Alabama/KM Tirpitz/IJN Atago/KM Prince Eugen does not make up for player skill )
Destiny 2 is what i play atm, my 1st char got 20 in less than 24hrs of playtime and currently sit at 244 power score (on 305 max iirc, main campaign finished) my second in level is 13 since it's a mmofps i don't find it too grindy
D2 features also micro transaction after lvl 20 but i didn't spend a dime beside the game itself but i still got some free bright Engrams from lvl beyond 20 (which are, as i like to call them, ghost level) and some cosmetic loot from them (paint/ship/mount etc) and some nice exotics and legendary from reward and drops (some exotics you get them as campaign reward also )
screen shot .... i should setup Xbox app .... but i am not fond of it ... and the "ban on overlay user" is a bit ...
cosmetics from bright engrams (with custom paint )
one i got by dismantling paint and other cosmetics (which give bright dust, which you can only obtain by dismantling item from related engrams) for 500BD at the vending NPC
worth mentioning but mount and ship can be bought once the campaign for 5k glimmers (got from reward and common/rare loot dismantling not hard to get, i am constantly maxed up at 99999G) is finished and transferred via vault to the following alts (mount are a bit mor difficult than ships , as you get a basic one right at the start but for ships it's only cosmetics since they only serve for orbiting and traveling between planets )
got the best autorifle and a nice RL (a bit chaotic and just as dangerous for the user as it is for the target ) from legendary and exotics engrams rewards (also have the "Coldheart" and "Sun Shot" which are respectively exotics pre order and progression reward) all weaponry can be stored in a vault and exotics can be reconstructed from collection tab for 10 legendary shards (that you get by dismantling legendary weapons ) same goes for armor but they are class restricted)
every legendary and exotics can be enhanced by sacrificing a equivalent gear with a higher score (which make them "evolvable)
the last before the last ... mission, is an epic walk close to the sun luckily my char is an Exo .... i forgot my sunscreen
Yup, they were on my team but it still sucked. They had something like 110 or 120 kills in Galactic Assault when the best of the rest had something like 20-30 kills.
I watched many reviews,many gameplays, i read opinions on the net back and forth,here on forum,and read to what @THE_EGG had to say about it all. Eventually i stopped the crusade and i got it. Yes gave EA my money.
It all boiled down to my needs. I had a few days of from work and i was running out of time trying to play something. Since CoD WW2 was released by the scene,so i got a good felling about that in many hours of gameplay (not guilty), the decision had to be made between Destiny 2 & Battlefront 2. Going back to work, don't know if it's an excuse,still don't know if i made the right decision, but i got Battlefront 2 for the fast action part. As i was led to understand Destiny 2 even in multiplayer it involves better gear (which means farming). Don't know if i got the time for that. Both games are 2.0 or the way the community refers to them as 1.5 The same exact games but in a more improved version.
I believe this is the way things happen on planet Earth. You will never get a new phone,until you never had one. Cuz there's gonna be very small differences between iPhone 7 or 8, or between Pixel 1 or 2. I don't expect next year Battlefront 3 will be a different game,more like version 1.6 But i never played this game,so it felt very fresh to me,still does.
The campaign was about 8 hours for me. I took it slow, i got defeated many times and so on. I did multiplayer as well, and arcade.
Playing arcade and campaign on 1080p ultra had moments when it goes down from 75fps it never bothered me . In multiplayer i also played it on ultra, but it can get pretty bad , i feel for the future in order to be competitive i need to turn it down some.
Did not see any cheaters in game, but playing real people is hard. I took it all serious,and i failed hard mostly the flight missions (which are brutal). Still,playing normal death matches is way more easier than Black Ops 3. Considering no one runs up the walls and does huge aerial jumps, you still have a chance to score some points.
I don't feel like this is a pay t win system or a farming system. Just go in,and have some fun type of game.
The campaign was very good! Shame that it was not longer. The story is very good, facial animations, voice acting ,all superb. But if there is anything to really notice about Star Wars is 2 very important things that kinda makes this game worth it.
a) Clarity of the graphics. You don't really get this sort of stuff. You really really don't. The game is very much playable without giving you a headache. Th graphics look amazing. I think it beats Witch 3 when it comes to almost everything, the nature foliage looks amazing. But you really have a strong clarity of where the enemy is. It's impossible not to spot them. Even when you are fighting in snow storm troopers, the visibility and the location of where a player is,fantastically made. It's all about actually hitting the target and landing head-shots. Deep clarity,and stunning graphics.
CoD WW2 is a blend of everything. Whiting all that city ruble, it's hard to see the enemy. But the biggest headache gave me Black Desert Online. What a sht game! I tried it out on this private server,non knowing if it's worth the money. OMG! They say it has the best mmorpg graphics ever...maybe so. You can barely see the mobs in the grass, if it's a tree or a shack or a mob or anything...the colors are almost all the same. Storm troopers in the snow and there is a perfect line of sight to them. The game was made so you can tell the moving characters and everything else from the environment. Absolutely graphically brilliant!
b) The atmosphere. - immersion. You are calm, you are focused, you are in it! The soundtrack helps so much.
Again CoD WW2 all the characters scream so much! And it's stressful.
If you like Star Wars, this is a most have game. If not , this is still a very well polished and amazing looking / feeling shooter.
The campaign offers moments of take it all in . Amaze yourself at the visuals, cuz in the multiplayer you struggle to play, the landscape will be most likely ignored.
There is something very strong and familiar with the way the Empire looks. With the statues,and the red flags and the white star etc.... it is very similar to communism
And a very beautiful homage to Carrie Fisher
You can also have fun with this great thing
And tha
nks to the game, you learn who kills Rey's father to
A very familiar face, and my all time favorite character in the series ,with the exception of the most awesome R2D2
I love this guy
It is very original and well played the way they introduced Kylo Ren into the game .
So I haven't been gaming 'seriously' as much for around Oct and Nov, just played some AC: Unity here and there. Work got a bit too demanding that I couldn't really put much effort into gaming and I couldn't really get into Bioshock 2 Remastered or other games cause I wasn't really feeling it. Decided I may need to try JRPG to raise some enthusiasm in me since it's been a while since I've played an RPG (or JRPG). So, I started with Wild Arms 2 (tried this game over a decade ago but didn't really get very far). I suppose the simple tone of this game may just be what I needed cause I definitely want to play it till the end. So far, after about 25 hours or so, I've just reached Disc 2. Probably about halfway done at this point so I'm really looking forward to the latter half of the game.
By the way, from my overall experience with the game up to the end of Disc 1, I just have to say that the first Wild Arms is superior in almost every aspect compared to WA2.
So, @Cvrk it sounds like you really liked Battlefront II. There is actually 8 hours of campaign in there? that's great! When it goes down in price it might be worth picking up, since I play SP.

and p2w to me is not an issue as most people mix up pay to win and pay to advance faster (and most people who pay to win, loose most of the time ... specially in games where player does more than gear 
)
