Morning. I've got 2 spare codes going seeing as none of my friends own a PS4.
Any chance of one of your spare codes?

I'm want to try it out to see if it's more Mass Effect style gameplay, or more COD gameplay. If it's ME style then I'll pre-order it - otherwise my money will go elsewhere.

Thanks.

Don't worry, it's definitely not CoD (thank goodness). The fighting is more measured and tactical unlike CoD's acid trip gameplay. It does give off a bit of an ME vibe, although the character interactions aren't as detailed in that you can't choose how the conversation goes but the RPG level up elements and general theme of the game definitely put me in mind of it.

I'd say it feels more like a mash-up of Borderlands, Halo and ME at the moment.

Randomly running into firefights between other players and the enemy is always fun but last night I even ran into different AI factions who were having a full on pitched battle with each other. Not sure what that was about but watching them go at it from a distance through the scope of a sniper rifle, picking off the odd enemy from each side, watching the confusion it sowed and how it effected the ongoing battle was great fun. It felt like there was more going on in the world than just your story.

My first impressions.

Absolutely stunning visuals. The first real next gen I have seen. The aiming is very good and it has the right level of npcs which I thought the last hola went ott on. Loving it so far.

I mentioned on another forum that I had beta codes for the Xbox One and that I probably wouldn't use them. I've since been inundated with terse requests to forward them on!

I'm liking this so far although as said it doesn't always look next-gen, some of the cut scenes look PS2 let alone 4, I'll definitely be buying it though.

ETA: Anyone done any dancing yet?

I like it. Like the best bits of Halo, Mass Effect and Borderlands.

It feels like there will be lots of depth. Even though the Beta is effectively based around one level map, it is huge and it gives a real massive sense of scale. The plot (what we have seen if it - the Beta gives you the first 5 missions to do) also comes across as good sci if fare. I'm really, really looking forward to the final game now.

Please stop making it sound good. I don't want to turn on my PS3 or 360 as I will then have to clean the inevitable fountain of dust from within them it's been that long since they were we turned on.
