By LFMartins86 Go To PostThere are some talks that Germany might be next. That would definitely make EA shake a bit.Unless there will be changes of the law or additions I kinda doubt it.
I am all for them getting punished for their micro transactions policy.
The rating board USK got an huge article for everyone and especially parents. It just doesn't classify as gambling currently.
Watching Ninja's Blackout stream (since you can get a beta code if you watch it for around an hour) and it looks better than the console version at least.
Looks more like a remaster than an uprezzed PS3 game.

Lmao, the chances of bothering with this was always low for me. But this certainly settles it. How is that homebred coming along? 👀
Watching this Ninja stream too, he is not good at this game. Probably going to pick this up, but their use of IIII instead of IV pisses me off
By Gaby Go To PostRunning with this.
Solid. Oliadipo is a solid 2 in the game. Even with my squad I got him still in my second group.
I just have a thing for A/A+ defensive players on the perimeter or inside. It's so broken. Just hang around and they'll miss shots.
I think I'll try to complete the rookie set.

camping in blackout is too much. I wanna say they should try out having all players visible on the radar.

DGib is an A in every shooting category. Give him the right shoes and he never misses.
ph33 still fighting the good fight on the OS boards lmao. 2K literally reduced the amount of xp you gain after the release date of the $60 version of the game and you still have people defending them.
Playing in HDR on my PG27UQ is crazy. The monitor is about 2 feet from my face, and 27'' is plenty. But the HDR goddamn is it bright (it's supposed to be at certain times). Just playing 2K19 with HDR and 4k at this small distance with the pixel density results in amazing IQ. My One X said the monitor doesn't support HDR10 (lie), but the Pro played in HDR with no problems.
High framerate mode
Xbox X - near consistent 60fps
PS4 Pro - Unstable af
High Resolution
Xbox X - 30fps target but with noticeable dips and minor screen tearing.
PS4 Pro - Locked 30FPS.
-Great HDR across both consoles.
-Very noticeable input latency, compares it to Rise of Tomb Raider at launch and Killzone 2(yikes)

Rise bored the hell out of me. I might try and go back to it tho.
By alt sy Go To PostBattle Royale forces you to play like a bitch. I can't.Playing solo?
Duos/squads is where the genre shines for me, I need that safety net to play aggressive
Having a tonne of fun with it, may well buy it on release

I'm thriving. Bitch made 😎.
I only like BR solo. Eventually someone dies and has to watch the other person(s) for up to 30 minutes. That sucks.
By Doncicic Go To PostI only like BR solo. Eventually someone dies and has to watch the other person(s) for up to 30 minutes. That sucks.This is why I can't play CS
and you should really not just sit there and watch in CS. I mean, you should watch, but you gotta be helping out the team when you are dead, by calling for them or suggesting stuff, so they can just focus on killing duders and not watching the radar, trying to make decisions on where to go and so on.
Not to mention the outcome of the round directly affects your next round(s) a lot, so you are way more invested in it, than a BR teamm8 dying or not.

By alt sy Go To PostBattle Royale forces you to play like a bitch. I can't.what? the whole reason battle royale got popular is because it allows you to play however you want. wanna hide in a building for 3 hours go ahead. wanna be Rambo that's fine too. either option will get you wins.
it's not like CS or something where you have to play properly and structured past a certain rank.
By RobNBanks Go To PostI remember when MS was thinking about requiring check ins and everyone lost their minds
Gonna be interesting to see how people react now that Nintengods are implementing it.
I think we all know the answer.
These situation are not comparable at all but if nintendo did it with games people actually care about the outcry would be the same. It's shitty but nobody gives a toss about those nes games.

magine! It’s been exactly two years since every single PS4 model was upgraded to support HDR, thanks to system software update 4.0. Looking back, HDR has had a heckuva impact on game artistry, greatly elevating already beautiful-looking games like God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn.
To mark the big day, we asked developers for their insights on how adding HDR brings brilliance to their games.
Marvel’s Spider-Man
“We’ve tried to find the right balance with our HDR implementation such that the medium tones and dark tones in the image look the same as they would in non-HDR, but the brightest parts of the image really pop. Swinging around the city at night or in the rain shows off HDR nicely—the bright lights of the city really stand out against the darker background. As you progress through the game and meet up with some of the more colorful villains Spidey needs to contend with, there are some gorgeous night scenes with bright effects—but you’ll have to play the game to see what I mean.”

By Laboured Go To PostOne day in my life time Nintendo will do online right. I believe.
I like how they bothered to get Bron in a Lakers jersey yet Kawhi is in his Spurs jersey with a Toronto logo.

The whales of 2K19 have started redeeming Pink Diamonds in the token market by completing the entire current team collection through opening packs. Meanwhile, most of the community were either busy grinding domination/triple threat or exploiting the VC glitch.
Let's take a look at how far can grinding bring you in the token rewards market.
Firstly, to redeem Galaxy Opal Wilt Chamberlain, one would need a total of 2,610 tokens. This is done by obtaining the minimum amount of tier reward cards required to unlock the next tier. Here's the exact amount of tokens needed for each tier.
Emerald-30 tokens
Sapphire-60 tokens
Ruby-120 tokens
Amethyst-300 tokens
Diamond-600 tokens
Pink Diamond-750 tokens
Galaxy Opal-750 tokens
For starters, one could earn 3 tokens just by collecting 20 cards and by completing Triple-Threat offline (5 tokens for each division), that brings the total number of our tokens to 33.
Next up we have domination and this is the best way to earn tokens. For completing regular domination, you will get 58 tokens. Fantasy domination will get you another 103 tokens and finally, all-time domination will reward you with 178 tokens.
Token count: 33+58+103+178=372 (enough to unlock the Amethyst market and redeem 5 amethyst players).
But that's not all! Completing domination also rewards you with reward packs consisting of Jerseys, Team Basketballs, Arenas, Team Logos. Just by locking these reward cards, you will earn an additional 80 tokens!
Token count: 452! (Only 2,158 more tokens to get Wilt).
After completing triple-threat and domination, the only way to grind tokens is through MyTeam unlimited (15), Schedule challenges (3), Weekly challenge (3), Triple-threat (3/division). Let's just say that in a week, you can normally go 12-0 for MyTeam unlimited, complete the weekly challenge, one team schedule and defeat 5 divisions in triple-threat. This will get you 36 tokens/week.
That means it will take you 60 weeks to finally get Galaxy Opal Wilt Chamberlain without completing a single collection.
Closing thoughts: It's impossible to get GO Wilt unless 2K increases the number of tokens rewarded by completing the challenges.

Regretted trying out the new XC2 expansion because
a) it has a different gameplay mechanic where you can rotate between your character and their blade, with stuff like topple being their initial attack. I really like it.
b) the graphics have improved with a new rendering system making the foliage look waay nicer, and I was playing undocked.
Need to finish Spider-Man asap and get back to this RPG.

i've done zero completing of team collection. i've spent the majority of time playing myteam unlimited and racking up entries to the 250k tournament.
By Gaby Go To Post180k credit and 2 cards to go. Ugh. Seems hard.
You have 167k myteam tokens...you know you can press x (on PS4, probably A on xbox) and search for those missing cards on the auction house right from the binder right? you have enough to where you should be able to outright buy those two remaining cards in an auction.
you're missing david robinson and pistol pete. robinson is going for about 80k mt and pete about 55k on ps4 house. there you go. go buy them with your mt and enjoy 94 diamond jerry lucas.

Or you could give up on the mediocre game and play the good one instead.

The few hours I've played of XBC2 xpac are great. the new combat is so much better than the base game lol
By Gaby Go To PostRobinson and Maravich go for above 100k each on PC.
gg
thought you were on xbox because of the icons and i dont associate people playing anything but SP on PC
First win in Blackout sunglasses.emoji
Game doesn't seem to agree with PS4 capture unfortunately, so have no idea how we won it. Suddenly went from being 5 players left, to just me and Killer. Reckon someone killed himself and two others with a grenade. Battle royale format throws up some great moments, sent a recon car into a tunnel, saw two people in there just waiting for us, so we swam across instead and I found a supply drop with a grenade launcher on the riverbed. Went back to bounce some grenades around the curve of the tunnel but they'd gone :(
Really hope they can sort out a spectate recorded match feature for the final game.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postsmokey have you done any of those tournament matches?
It hasn't started yet. Right now I'm racking up entries which you get by winning 20 tickets in the myteam unlimited mode. I'm up to 4 entries. First qualifying round is in Oct.
can't even imagine facing smokey in 2k with those tools tbh
