Is War Thunder still ignoring the aerial stuff?

They've been doing aerial stuff since it came out. They're very close to releasing their naval stuff though. Surprisingly, they decided to take out the Italian aircraft from the German tech tree, and instead made Italy their own country within the game. I don't know if I'm right, but I don't think Italy had that much vareity in terms of aircraft from WWII- the Korean War...

Have any of you guys played Mass Effect Andromeda? I mean, I know it didn't get off to the best start with the graphical errors that still aren't completely fixed, but real talk the story is pretty good.

The story isn't "good" in any sense of the word. It ends up simply being another refrain of the story structure featured in previous Bioware games. The game's themes aren't touched upon in a meaningful way, and the various hooks presented early in the game end up being anti-climactic.

Yeah, I can see what you mean. There are quite a few times when the game could have explored certain themes quite a bit more and there were still quite a few loose ends; it wasn't Bioware's best work by any means but I still enjoyed it overall.

Some of the guns are not too bad on the ones ive used so far, but man the armour is like non existent on them, second they get hit they just go up in flames like they are made of paper.

Does Rocket League get better? Early on in competitive it seems like every game is either domination by one team or a crapshoot where both teams make a bunch of mistakes and one happens to win. Half the time I play 2v2 it's with a teammate that keeps switching positions and then calls me out for not being able to cover for their mistakes. 1v1 is alright, 3v3 has the same problem I mentioned first.

It gets better when you rank up after playing an ungodly amount of matches. I think...don't quote me on that...

Seems like it's hard to even rank up. I'm definitely not bad at it, but it looks like wins are the only thing that count towards ranking, not performance. So I can have a hat trick and lose 4-3 after somebody else sliced the ball into our own goal for the game winning shot, and it doesn't help me in ranking.

So I grabbed the Mass Effect; Andromeda 10 hour free trial. Thought that it couldn't hurt since I'm not spending a dime and gives me a chance to really get a good demo in for the game.

They way I was expecting was that I get a full game for 10 hours. Then suddenly the game stops you from progressing until you buy it. You can still explore the worlds and such, but the main quests stops in its tracks. A little annoyed, but for a free demo I give it a pass.

Been actually a lot of fun so far. Seriously considering picking it up.

I enjoyed it, definitely has its issues, but i had fun. Though i got distracted with uni stuff and other games so i have to go back and finish it at some point.
