So how is this one any different from the original? As someone who hasn't really followed it apart from a trailer or two, it looks like a straight copy/paste in terms of all the mechanics/inventory/combat/etc. What have they actually changed apart from a different story and map?

The combat-system seems to be slightly different, more Batman:whatever-like.

There seems to be 'more to see and do' and they added some 'epic' battles...sieges, whatever. Don't expect a great plot though...the german Gamestar review liked the game for its core mechanics, fun gameplay and more content than part I.

I am looking forward to some ~20 hours of fun gameplay, not a Dark Souls 3, but well...killing masses of Orcs and finding some loot with decent gfx seems fine with me.

Hopefully we'll have an ISO-demo on the 10th or 11th...if it's cool, I'll buy it at a later date for 15-20 bucks. Warner will earn a ton of money with their lootbox-microtransaction-crap anyway.

Not feeling guilty at all.

If you know German, read this. A good overview and you basically know what you can expect:

From what I saw it's got more warfare in it than just solo everything. Seige warfare I guess?

Fuck those shitty games.
First one was terribly boring too. Open world with randomly generated enemies... a shitty story, shitload of dlc and just boring.

This one looks like a hell lot of menus, loot boxes and big fuck You...
But it is a "proper aaa" game so sure it's not going to get 2/10 like it should... We need to wait for Jim Sterling reviews.





Not really a review, since i don't think he is doing reviews in the common sense.

I think the most I ever had was 30-40 minutes, what game was that if you recall? Must've been one of the bigger ones.

Or did you do something else during the unpacking that would've taken a significant amount of CPU cycles?
IF you really need to get them repacks like I do, try the ones from xatab or seyter mens, they're blazingly fast!

You do know Seyter was caught putting BitCoin miners in pretty much all of his repacks right?

I had a look at it.

And while the say the lootboxes are bad, they also say they indeed had no problem progressing without buying any of them.

Well, just 1 more day of waiting anyways for the isodemo.

if the combat is still as good i dont mind a little grinding at the end, after finishing the first game i went through the map to find big groups of enemies just to put the combat to good use.

i dont think the game has a season pass so thats one reason why they included loot boxes, just like with swbf2.

also am i the only one who dosent like that they did with the main characters face? i guess they did some motion capture but looks bad compared to last game
