if you can tahan wildlands, you can play anything

Honestly I am loving Wildlands, very much enjoying the whole experience. Seriously, not joking. I am probably 1/4 to 1/3 in (done 4 or 5 provinces, maybe 15-20hrs), I am not bored at all. I like clearing the fog of map, like going to a new place and seeing orange glows on the map, send up the drone to recon the place, tactically snipe or sync shot the enemies, eventually clearly the whole area/camp of enemies stealthy. And of cos often getting detected and go all guns blazing. Good time!

I don't know why ppl complained about vehicle handling, I have absolutely no issue at all, even when racing around at high speed. My only complaints are the way the reverse button works (typically in racing games, L2 reverses after the car is fully stopped, here it reverses if you hold it down to brake) and the camera angle when reversing (I don't know why the camera has to turn around when reversing, it's so awkward making 3 point turns).

Yes, it can be repetitive. I would argue that COD or FIFA or such are even more repetitive (you basically do a match, then like 10 minutes later, you go in and repeat the same match all over again). There's a variety of activity/task/mission types here, so not too boring. With the same mission types, the storyline has variety in how they string together the mission types, so it's not always the same in every province. So far I have no issue with the repetition at all (compared to, for example, FF15). In fact the repetition is kinda addicting, it has the "I'll just play one more turn" type of draw - oh there's this new area near by, just a little bit of orange glow, not many enemies, let me clear it out before going to bed. And soon it's 2AM liao .

wildlands is fun if got friends to play with. one of my friends play sniper so he cover me and another friend while we on the ground slowly clearing enemies. quite funny at times.

Looking at the updated Totally Digital US Sale, I saw a game that appears like a Zelda ripoff - Oceanhorn: Monster of the Uncharted Seas.

Even the protagonist's clothes are blue like Link in BOTW..haha..however it does look pretty.

I posted my mini-review over at the Switch thread:

The game is great, it's one I highly recommend to anyone who wants a traditional Zelda-like game (it's obviously not BotW style). It has beautiful art with nice, though simplistic, puzzles and good environmental level design. (Note that your char cannot jump or climb. How to move a char that doesn't jump to places he needs to be becomes an important part of puzzle solving.) It's also fun to find, and reach, all the chests and collectibles.

The combat is very meh though, but that's not the focus of the game. The fishing is simplistic, though some of the later types are tough, especially one that sends out electricity to drain your hp while you reel it in. You really need to level up before going fishing for it, it's the hardest boss fight in the game, lol.

Overall the game is just so refreshing and charming, highly enjoyable, go get it. There's a sequel coming, looking good too.

I do play Zelda, and I love it, just not every of them as I feel that if I get that specific console just for Zelda only, doesn't seem worth it. However, I'm interested in N Switch (probably will get it eventually) and hopefully the VC will bring back all the classic titles which I miss.

Way back in 1997 I played a Zelda-esque game, Alundra, and absolutely love it and even bought this classic from PS Store, so I may fancy Oceanhorn.

Thanks for your review haha I'll go check this out, sounds like a smaller scale but fun and pretty adventure. Price also okay US 8.99 = approx SGD 12.

no point getting fifa 17. just go po fifa 18 from shopee and use discount codes plus shopee coins if you have any.

fifa 18 will have better gameplay and also the story mode for alex hunter will be expanded. you can customise your alex hunter. la liga will have managers like zidane etc.

It's 16-bit games and includes a never released game.

Few months back I bought Fifa 17 to try out the gameplay on console (use to play on PC), then learning how to play while waiting for Fifa 18. But if you don't play FUT like no point hooting 18 leh not worth the high price, just buy 17 if you're those that like to play career mode only, then wait for end of year nearing Christmas period EA will have sales for Fifa 18 de
