    It all depends on the availability of games - Vita games have dipped below that on occasion.

    Been playing Borderlands 2 and was enjoying it up until you have to start using vehicles. The controls are broken beyond belief - Left stick to accelerate, right stick to turn is confusing enough as it is, but right stick also operates the camera as well as turning which is infuriating. It's just so counter intuitive.

    P1ssed me off to the point where I stopped playing, and I'm not sure I'll be going back to it tbh.

    Once you get your head around it you'll love it. Borderlands was a class act in my book.

    It's a common control system from a load of other games.

    I've never played a game with that control method. Not saying it doesn't exist, but it's definitely not common.

    That's mental, surely trigger or button for accelerate and sticks to move would have worked better, it's that way in most games

    I really enjoyed it and don't remember the driving thing to be a major issue. Was pretty good online co-op.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,352 ✭✭✭Glico Man


    If you think the driving in Borderlands 2 is bad, BL1 was infinitely more annoying.

    BF4 has applied the same controls which is quite frustrating too.

    Thought it was better in BL2


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    It's too simplified, to the point that it's a bit restrictive. I'm not a fan of either BF or BL vehicle controls, although, thankfully the contact with rocks etc. in both is so unrealistic, that it's actually fairly workable, and arcade like.

    I don't really care about it in Borderlands but in BF4 is annoying when you're just trying to turn your tank for better protection.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,428 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    I have serious problems trying to control helicopters and motorbikes in Bf4, although changing the view on the bikes helped immeasurably. Pretty sure I've never survived a helicopter journey where I've been the pilot. Really need practice.

    That's why BF4 has a veteren controls option that puts them back to BF3 controls, can't please everybody.

    I prefer it on the helicopters but not on Tanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 866 ✭✭✭LuckyFinigan


    Finished Metro earlier on. I really enjoyed it, loved the setting and atmosphere. There were some genuinely creepy moments in it. It's a shame the first game never got released on ps3.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,375 ✭✭✭✭kunst nugget


    Any rumours about March's games yet? They got leaked quite early last month…

    Not yet, keep an eye on Neogaf, it usually leaks there first.

    You should try the season pass currently half price at 3.75. Supposed to be a fair bit of single player in it

    I don't know really, I got it last week, might already be full price again tbh but possibly for the month whilst the main game is available. There's about 5 different levels in total. I have them downloaded but not played yet and reviews range from good to mixed but as a big fan I wanted to try them.
    If nothing else it's good to support the dev. team who brought that game to fruition, there are some great articles online on the terrible conditions they worked in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,161 ✭✭✭tok9


    Ya I'm looking forward to that game so 3.75 is nothing.

    Once I'm done with ME3 (thanks to plus also) I'll get to it.

    Like someone else I wish the original game was on PS3. I bought it in one of the Humble bundle packs but my laptop can't run it at all.
