Some of that can happen in Skyrim too, but players have so many more options in that game. Ever-present fast travel makes retreat a much more attractive option. Easily-trained skills mean always having a strong backup option, with little need for either planning or improvisation. The same goes for having enemies that rely almost exclusively on dealing pure damage rather than attacking through debuffs and drains. It’s not necessarily easier, especially on higher difficulties, but it's more convenient for the player. It’s not 100% bad, but it does come at the cost of a potentially more rewarding and memorable adventure.

Much like in Destiny 2 , players in PlanetSide 2 can join one of three factions to fight for in the game's huge battles. Although this game is not an RPG, there are upgrades to earn and gear to acquire, creating a sense of progression and unlocking more potential as players play the g

The new storyline was definitely the highlight of the expansion and helped to breathe life into the game just as it looked to be on its last legs. The update also brought with it a host of quality-of-life improvements that helped to streamline the Destiny experience. In many ways, it felt like Destiny 's coming of age and marked the moment that the game finally realized its full potent

The story content was engaging and introduced some interesting ideas and characters, and the plethora of quest lines provided players with more than enough to keep them busy. Arriving two years after the game's release, though, many players had started to grow a little tired of the grind and were ready to move on to something new. Thankfully, with Destiny 2 looming large on the horizon, they wouldn't have to wait too much lon

With gameplay that resembles the Monster Hunter franchise, Dauntless is a free-to-play action game for gamers who love to take on giant bosses and challenging raids in Destiny 2 . Playable in both single-player and multiplayer, Dauntless is a fantasy game that sees players taking on the role of Slayers hunting down gigantic monsters called Behemo

Ubisoft’s already large open worlds continued to expand exponentially throughout the PS4 generation. It all started with Caribbean in 2013 and ended with all of Ancient Greece in 2018. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey delivered Ancient Greece in an extremely-detailed way, which also meant some extremely-long load times. Getting into the game could take minutes, and even worse, getting around quickly or back into the game after death also cost precious time. PS5 mostly solves this, shaving off about 10 seconds when first booting up the game, and bringing the load time into the game well under a minute.

Of all the PS4 and Xbox One AAA titles, perhaps none is more infamous for its load times than Destiny 2 Exotics 2 . Booting up the game is a chose on current-gen machines, and then comes loading into the planets and Tower. Considering you have to go to the Tower to collect bounties, missions and decrypt engrams, getting around Destiny 2 is a chore. While we await the proper PS5 version coming December 8, playing the game on PS5 via backwards compatibility actually isn’t so bad. Load times are dramatically lower than on PS4, making getting around less of a chore. It excites us to imagine what next-gen load times look like.

A great example of this can be seen in the differences between The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. On a technical level, Skyrim is clearly superior. It looks so much better than Morrowind that it’s almost silly to compare the two, and its combat doesn’t suffer from pure RNG like Morrowind’s does. Skyrim’s point-to-point fast travel opens up new options for combat and exploration; annoying mechanics like stat drain spells have been removed entirely and character building is practically automatic. All one has to do is play the game. These are all things that make Skyrim much more convenient than Morrowind, but they don’t necessarily make it better.

Combined, these mods mean grenades have a negligible cooldown and that Golden Gun super can be regained in less than 45 seconds. Plenty of time to use two or three times on Taniks if he is not defeated in less than three phases. Naturally, the build is not worth using without Celestial Nighthawk for that massive precision hit, but once acquired, it is devastating in boss fig

Since its release in 2013, Warframe has accumulated plenty of gear and upgrades for new players to collect, and many of the game's missions are procedurally generated, making for tons of variety in gameplay. Fans of Destiny 2 's multiplayer elements will appreciate the option to play missions cooperatively, as w

Much like in Destiny 2 , players in Neverwinter can group up with others to form parties and take on dungeons and other challenges. Also, both games have a heavy emphasis on story and lore, with Neverwinter focusing on a singular story experience more than most M
