i remember the first sniper ghost warrior game, i was itching for a "sniper game" relative to the original sniper elite i played through several times on the old OG xbox.
i bought it, got home, loaded the disc in and started playing, when i got to the first part of the 1st mission "one shot one kill" (my memory may not recall if this is exactly correct) you climb down a cliff into a camp and have to sabotage some vehicles and stop an execution.
as i make my way down through the path into the camp my first opportunity to make a kill i have a clear shot in my scope of an enemy.... i scope the area for other potential enemies.... i watch my first kill and his movements .... having patience i take spend plenty time deciding the best opportunity to take down the enemy....i line him up in my crosshairs.... once he walks back over to the area with the bushes i will drop him silently and no one will find his body.... time the shot ....time the shot... exhale.... NOW!.... huh???
what? i had a clear shot at his head yet my bullet apparently hit a nearby leaf from a plant and caused the frame rate of the game to block the bullet and now all the enemies have heard my gunshot and are now on high alert.
....YES... my bullet hit a leaf did not go further than a few feet away from my gun and not all enemies are searching for me....
Remove disc from system, put back in case, grab car keys and wallet go back to gaming store (gamestop?) and return game.
i will never stray from sniper elite ever again- especially for this $hit game known as sniper ghost warrior and their awful game mechanics or frame rate problems or whatever it was that caused my bullet to hit a leaf!
wow... the amount of comments of people too lazy to click through an article with pages.... i can't imagine how hard it would have been for all of you to read an article in a newspaper.
"omg i have to turn pages to read this entire article?.... i am just going to throw out this newspaper and listen to my portable am radio!"
YOU don't have to click through pages ...the pictures on the bottom of the article you can click on each and it immediately updated the write up for each.
over a week after release i was finally able to get online & connected yesterday just to get to HQ to accept my freebies from my codes given by gamestop. not sure why Activision did not do this through regular PS store redeem codes. but over a week is unacceptable ...thankfully the codes were not set to expire until December.
the PPV TLC last night ( sunday 10/22 ) was almost entirely unwatchable with no world title defense. the show was terrible except for Balor v AJ - the 5 on 3 match was a clusterfuk but with no storyline for the title, no one chasing the title, no building up newer opportunities for different wrestlers to go for the title it makes both Raw and any Raw exclusive ppv, without a world title defense, a waste of viewing by the audience- live or at home.
i don't see a fix for the " events you may be interested in " notifications that i have turned off since i got my PS4 yet STILL get messages for. i even checked the sony site and their forums and added to a thread already open regarding this issue... but not a single reply or contact has given any explanation why this does not work properly.
garbage upon garbage. give away some really good recent games. not games over 10 years old. it's like they are saying "hey here's a great deal for you, dark forces $1.37" the game was originally released in 1995! then released on PSN in 2010.
i have to be honest- Other than Abzu at a discount price- the games that they offer are terrible. maybe it's just not my gaming style of play. but there is nothing worthy of grabbing ever. most of these games are the low end,terrible games that they are ,which no one plays anymore and now they give them away for free? c'mon give away a top title for once
