100% on three characters is some serious dedication. Congrats!

I can usually get 1 kill with any air vehicle before I get taken down, but I'm better at piloting in bf4 than in this. Did you notice the directional pad buttons are evasive maneuvers? Pretty slick moves but it throws me off a bit not knowing the moves yet. I'm still strapped for cash so I might not even preorder at all and buy it on release or shortly after. If the add squad support I'd be much more excited about the game. I still wish there was a campaign. :/

There needs to be a big balance change to walker assault. The rebels hardly have a chance. When the fight first starts, all the x-wing pick ups are directly in the line of fire with the at-at and at-st, while on the imperial side has a quick at-st pickup behind the walkers and shielded on one side with a cliff face. I've seen 2 tie fighters and 2 tie interceptors while the rebels only get 2 x wings which spawn their pickups in enemy territory shortly after the fight starts and 2 a-wings and 2 snow speeders? that I never got a chance to get into. I've never seen more than 2 air ships for the rebels in the air at the same time.. those a-wings are beastly as hell when ramming. I was in a tie fighter and an a-wing rammed straight thru me and took no damage while I exploded into shrapnel. The tie fighters hit boxes are way too small. I had a hell of a time hitting them when they were coming straight at me even with the aim assist. I hated playing as rebels, 3 different matches I'd spawn with storm troopers directly behind me. As a stormtrooper, you hardly have to play the objective and instead you can run the outer rim of the map and get right behind all the rebel spawn areas. I got easy kills when 5 guys spawned right in the same area I threw a grenade at. I was only trying to kill 2 ppl and everyone kept popping right there. I even had some guy spawn right in front of me. If he'd have spawned 2 seconds later he'd have had the drop on 8 of us, but I simply mowed him down. I don't know how some ppl were doing it, but I've seen some at-st's running through the map faster than I thought imaginable. On foot I couldn't even keep up with them to provide support or use them as cover. I love getting in one of those, they wreck everything. I agree with you strider, it is a bit too arcade-y. I knew it would be but it seems a bit too much. Most enemies pick me off from huge distances with regular blasters. I said I wouldn't have a problem with range, but holy crap everything can kill you from distance. I was going to team up with strider this afternoon but my brother was on and I joined up with him. Since we don't have squads it seems a bit pointless to party chat about the match when you can't spawn on anyone other than the partner and you have no way to easily identify a friend on the map aside from the partner. Along with the quick turn around of dying/respawning theres no way to organize an assault. Thats the main reason why it feels to arcade-y for me. If there was some more squad team work involved I'd have loved it. It doesn't have to have squad buffs like bf4, but I'd like to be able to get some team work going. I got to play skywalker once, but I immediately found myself head to head with vader and we killed each other. The solo survival mode was fun, but since I didn't take the second card load out with the ion torpedoes, that at-st wave took me 10 mins of cat and mouse fighting. It went to 6 waves for me tho before it cut out and said that was all I could do for the mode. Drop zone was fun, basically domination mode except with only one capture point that keeps moving around the map. I didn't pre-order this yet and I know both my brothers will have this game, but I don't like the partner only system. If there were squads I'd be much happier with the game.

Fate/stay night aired first, then fate/zero and then unlimited blade works. I never saw stay night but it sounds like it's the same characters from unlimited blade works and unlimited blade works could be a remake of the original series? I'm not certain. But I don't recommend watching unlimited blade works before fate/zero because the first or second episode has a direct clip from the last episode of fate/zero and kind of spoils one of the last scenes in from the series.

Once they have the expansion out and bug fixes done, they really should focus on doing that. The game really needs updating to run smoother.

The ending of Fate/Zero could have been a bit better, but it was pretty solid non the less. I highly recommend it. One of the main characters, Kiritsugu, is my favorite. Everyone else uses their magic to battle, while this guy uses strategy and a sniper rifle. f*ck yes.

Let me start off by saying I watched Fate/Zero earlier this year and it was amazing. One of my favorite series of all time now. The action, strategy, emotional connections, brutal murder, ideals, anti-hero.. it had everything I love. And the last fight in the series was one of the best damn fights I've ever seen in an anime. The series is on netflix in english and I enjoyed the english dub. Heres a trailer for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgDTWKCU3_s I know the fate/stay night is based off of a hentai game property and thats fine. I'm not interested in that. If anything that game setup the ground work for an amazing anime: Fate/Zero. The original fate/stay night series I never watched and after watching unlimited blade works I doubt I'll watch anything with the fate/stay night name in it again. Another series I loved that was based off a H-game was "Tears to Tiara".. excellent anime. Action, adventure.. and just like Fate/Zero, no hentai garbage, just an excellent series. I saw Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works show up on netflix and I finally watched it thinking it'd be a great sequel to Fate/Zero.. boy was I wrong. This series was more based off the actual property, minus hentai.. It was horrible. Its like they took something amazing and turned it into everything I hate in an anime.. all main characters are kids.. in school, with school outfits, and an occasional dojo episode. wtf. I only watched the first 13 episodes and I'll pass on even finishing this series once netflix gets it. I don't want it tainting the awesomeness of Fate/Zero any more. Fate/Zero was epic.. a full on war between 7 mages and their heroic spirits.. the battles were intense and everyone expected a fight to the death at any moment. But unlimited blade works starts the next holy grail war. And everyone continues going to school. Seriously? If any of these characters were in Fate/Zero they would have been dead in the first episode. These two series are so drastically different its like comparing Gundam to Care Bears. TLDR Watch Fate/Zero. Watch it now. Amazing. Delete Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works from your queue and never watch it or feel utter disappointment.

Druid was definitely fun. I wish I had the time over the weekend to test out scrapper. With how Berserker is now, I doubt I'll use it at all.. I'll be running around with my reaper for everything. My biggest issue with the beta was the massive FPS drop I got on my laptop. I could casually play GW2 on my laptop at 30 FPS and I'd be fine with that, but the HoT map never did better than 12 FPS.. wtf. I hope they optimize these maps more and reduce effects for lower graphic settings. I average around 22 fps in silverwastes on my laptop but thats because I don't drop any of my settings in the map, but I had to drop everything down to the absolute lowest settings just to get 12 fps on my laptop for verdant brink. x_x

I tested out the druid last night. The healing power it has is incredible. The elite skill was my main source of damage. That damn skill is ridiculously powerful. Berserker should have been made as a mirror to druid. With as much healing druid can do, Berserker should be the opposite but with pure dps. This is my post about how they can fix berserker based on druid mechanics: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/warrior/Berserker-BWE3-Feedback/page/2#post5572928 I tried reaper the other day and I'm still sold on it. I'll be running my reaper all over the place.

Ohhhh.. the physical stuff looks good. It has the full game too. This would be a great set for someone buying the game fresh. I'm tempted to get it since I have the other two in physical boxes.

Thanks, but I think I'll pass. I don't think I'll have time with the Guild Wars 2 final beta this weekend along with the other stuff I have to do.

I might be pre-ordering this soon and I noticed that this has got to be one of the crappiest digital deluxe versions I've ever seen.. Only 1 of the deluxe bonuses are for Starcraft 2. The other bonuses are for four different blizzard games that I don't even play. Screw that, regular version for me. https://us.battle.net/shop/en/product/starcraft-ii-legacy-of-the-void

Dice must have overcompensated with accuracy. If they wanted the blasters to work like in the movies, 90% of the shots would go wild while hero characters get 98% accuracy bonus.

The range on that heavy blaster. Damn. it does make sense in a way.. we don't have to worry about bullet drop when we're firing bolts of plasma. I remember reading that aim assist was going to be very generous in the game to give it more of an arcade kind of feel to compensate for not having scopes. I'm fine with that. It'll make air battles more enjoyable to. Since we won't have to be an expert at precision firing while making endless turns.

Terrorist Hunt definitely sounds like a mode I'd enjoy. Were alot of ppl using headsets? Did you hear a bunch of 14 years olds throwing obscenities at you?

I bet there are no snipers because there are no IRNV sniper scopes above 2x if I remember right. They had 8x scopes in that bf3 co-op misison, but for some reason they never allowed them in the multiplayer for bf3 or bf4.

Hell yes! *feels the hype building up more*

Now that's impressive.

Speaking of bf4 strider, did you download that new night map that got released recently? I downloaded it the other day and I plan on trying it out this weekend.

The game sounds good. How long does an average match last? With everyone having only 1 life do you have health regen or does every hit count towards the total hp?

http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/news/the-star-wars-battlefront-beta-is-coming-october-8th I'm scheduling that friday off.

I agree with that completely.

The Joker.. ehh.. Heath Ledger's joker looked much better.

If one of his opponents is Drago's kid, it'd be even better.
