Got the Noble Phantasm edition of Fate/Extella, yes, that's the second time I buy that game, though I pre-ordered the digital version, I've heard from other Fate/ fans that the art book included with this edition is worth the price alone, and since Amazon had it for cheap, it was a no-brainer for me. Though that also means I won't be able to get Horizon, Ghost Recon or Nier anytime soon.

I finished every mission, collectible and activity in the beta, and it was really fun. The second area kicked my ass until I got the anti-armour rifle and the tar21, then i got a bit easier. I can see it getting a bit boring if you're one to stick to a single play style, but if you play around with everything the game has, it does offer quite a bit of variety, like, I only used the parachute to drop on hills close to mission areas, scout, and then move in, but you could just drop in the middle of a base and go crazy if that's your deal. Vehicles also offer a lot of choices, though I never figured out how to properly use gunships, getting an APC and using it to complete a couple of missions, destroy convoys and other stuff was awesome. The AI isn't as bad as some people would say, though I wish it had better consistency, sometimes they detect you from 200 meters away when you miss a shot, and then everyone in the world knows where you are, others, they fail to notice that I just landed a chopper right next to them. The radio can be super annoying, specially since there's only one station, though I did find it funny that there's a song that mentions the ghosts and their fight against the cartel. Speaking of songs, I'm surprised they didn't get Cartel de Santa in there, their stuff is basically made for this kind of setting but I don't know if it's all original music made for the game or if there are real songs included too.

I liked the first one, the nemesis system was cool, and using the wraith powers to controls orcs was awesome. \m/ \m/ This one looks interesting, will keep an eye on it.

Album is super short, but it's also fucking awesome \m/ \m/

Right, I should mention, the issue with that mission was on PC, I've had no problems with the PS4 version.

I didn't play the closed beta so I don't know, so far, biggest issue I've had was with the first mission, where the dude wouldn't follow me, he'd just stay inside his cell not moving, had to kill him and restart the mission and then it worked. Starting to get the hang of helicopter flying, though aiming the mounted weapons is still out of reach. Also, the subtitles are funny, the dudes will say something like "alright motherfuckers! let's show them we have more balls than them, fuck them all!" but the subtitles say "there are more of us than them, show them who's in charge, attack!".

Played for a bit yesterday, seems fun, though I don't like the way helicopters control, feels like it just does whatever it wants.

Looks cool, though from what I've seen, it seems like this is one of those games were if you don't have a group of friends to play with it's probably not going to be nearly as fun. Open beta starts this weekend and you can preload it right now.

Fate/Extella, really fun, though if you're not already a fan of the Musou style games then this will do nothing to change that opinion. Also, though some people find it annoying, I love the way you unlock that's really cool, and IMO, way better than the "complete every stage on the hardest difficulty" or "collect XYZ" thing some games do. Story is pretty decent too, starts out simple and then goes full Type-Moon after a bit, that's awesome. \m/ \m/

Beginning is NSFW.

6 Had nothing supernatural in it, it did have a gigantic railgun of doom though. Also yeah, they're pretty easy to get into even if you haven't played previous entries, though I did go back to play the others, just for fun.

Yeah the AC games are known for having cheesy melodramatic stories, but that (to me) is what makes them cool, and why Assault Horizon failed in that regard. FWIW, I got into the series with 6, so it's not like I had been playing them for long enough to "revere" the story and lore behind it, I just thought it was cool.

There's that, but there were also issues with the characters, story, etc. It tried to be too much like CoD or BF in terms of narrative style, and so, characters suffered from lack of development and boring personalities. There's also the DFM thingy, which was a huge issue for a lot of people, it was this thing that was supposed to make fights more cinematic, but it felt too scripted and was annoying in how forced it felt, with some enemies being super hard to hit unless you used it.

That's... not one of the best games in the series, and that's being too kind IMO, the series went somewhere completely different in terms of tone and setting with AH so, keep that in mind.
