Enjoying the challenges and team building. As someone who clearly loves the game, do you have any tips as to how to enjoy being on defence? Especially not being that clued up on tactics. I used to play Madden every year, and I sort of came to the conclusion I needed to give up. I don't watch enough NFL to know what the hell I'm doing tactically, and it just makes it a bit pointless for me. It could really do with a tactical tutorial.

HKP90 Posted November 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 12, 2022 Online CoD is brutally toxic unless you play at least 4 hours a day to get up to speed. Can't be bothered getting to the level I'd need to be at to enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it the same as fifa in that one of the hardest things on defence is the split second where you switch player and you're not necessarily playing in the same direction, madden is worse as I go from controlling a dline man going forward to a dB going backward So I therefore tend to only control the dline, let the AI sort the secondary and I play like an 8 year old playing street fighter, mash the pad trying to pull a move off Failing that have a look at the sliders, I reduce roughing the passer off so I can get away with late hits On the tactic use coach recommendations so it's down to 3 to pick from, it's usually half decent, I watch a lot of nfl but still can't do it where it tells me the opponent is in the I formation so it's a running play etc if it's a short down I tend to send everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah nor me "mute everyone" straight away, just play how you want and they change the game modes to suit it, like I said I play domination because that's the mode that gets me the most points, there's people on there who bizarrely ignore the control points and just go round killing on it but that means I can get one of the highest scores All that said my enjoyment from CoD comes from the progression system and ticking the boxes, getting the tags and colours etc, I take them as challenges such as getting 500 headshots with a certain gun gets you a certain skin for it, that's the game for me, didn't even bother to prestige on cold war I just held on level 50 and instead went after trying to get a gold AK47 (which I achieved thanks to zombies) and my problem with CoD is I'm sure treyarch, sledgehammer and IW all do it differently and I can never remember which one I like but I'm sure 1 of them has a progression system that I find really boring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Oddly, I don't think it was much more than 3 hours in that I dropped it Tales of Graces comfortably my favourite in the series 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it feel like a mix of Dragon Quest XI/Tales of. I still have no idea why Xillia is my favourite, I think it’s the locations which I loved. Followed by Symphonia.

Talldarkandransome Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Advice please Dark Souls or Elden Ring, I've heard they are very similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Having read the two separate threads, I think it's gonna be Elden Ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted November 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2022 Elden Ring. It's the newer game and arguably more approachable, and it takes a lot of the fundamental gameplay and mechanics of the Souls series and polishes them up or makes them less obtuse. But you should play Dark Souls at some point - it's a brilliant game, but a decade old now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 What platform? If PS5 then the Demon Souls remake might interest you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 They've got nioh 2 as the psn+ game of the month too which is a different studio but from what I've read tries to replicate the general gameplay Obviously there's bloodborne on the psn collection too, surprised that hasn't had a ps5 remaster announced yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll download the game for Warzone 2.0 but if they have got loadouts back I just don't have time to level up guns anymore and if you don't have the meta guns you stand no chance. When covid hit I was playing loads, dropped some 20+ kill games in squads but the SBMM ended it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned above here,if you like it,there are all the other games from From Software that you will enjoy if you like this. I have only played a few From Software games. Sekiro Shadows Die Twice beeing my favourite so far. I think Elden Ring is by far their biggest game. I think i used a little under 150 hours to complete. Sekiro took about 30 IIRC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
