Been playing FPS over years. I think we’ve passed the pinnacle. The competitiveness has become extremely high. The ability to learn from previous mistakes and hone your skills are important. So, I find this game punishing with the time for respawn. It greatly inhibits my ability to play and learn. I also find the UI crowded and noisy. I don’t know why is it so bad to see which servers you can join.I just have to wait and hope I join a game. Do I wait, do I go? The graphics are superb, as are the character animations. In game assets also world class. But the game play has become contorted and the mechanics of the game are over developed as the studio looks for something original to include in a Battle Royale style gameplay that has become the arena mode du jour. sometimes less is more. Finally the game now favours elite players, the rest of us are just targets. Aspiring to high levels of play performance are further hamstrung by respawn delay times. Not really fun like it used to be.

Pretty disappointed at cross play. PCs have inherent advantages over console in every respect for lag and accuracy. Consoles are too slow in response times through the PSN network. Some maps are too big and are only suitable for mechanised assets. The control responses are patchy at times when changing weapons, can’t believe how much DICE screwed this up on the most powerful console ever made. Play in PC or try something else.. console is a waste of money IMHO

A significant departure from the Adam Sandler we’ve known for years. An engaging story, but a strange ending. Sandler never deviates from his Jewish heritage, much like Scorsese never ventures from his Sicilian origins. I found some of the characterisations a bit cliched, but the film is well executed and edited. You have to concentrate to follow the film as it’s constantly noisy and busy dialogue. You get insights into Sandler’s character, a degenerate gambler, with personal, moral, and business conflicts, his life is out of control. Nothing is straight forward in the plots, much like life, the script has depth, and the plot keeps you guessing as to the outcomes of the subplots. Sandler is known for giving new and young directors a go and he has done it here with the Safdie brothers who have produced an outstanding small budget film.
