is this a kid's series? I just finished daredevil and really liked it. Should i give this a try? I'm not interested in bad teenager dialogue and it looks as though the main protagonist is a kid, but maybe that's just a wrong first impression.
I finally beat it last weekend and worked on some trophies this week and finally got the one where you have to stand around in a settlement for 4 hours yesterday (what a chore), and with it Platinum. Cool game, but i think i am done with it too. 1 playthrough took me like 3 months.
@senorbusyman: i agree, although for me the series never went downhill. i like the survival horror games as much as the shooter games and i even like re6, apart from the inability to discard unwanted weapons. The stamina bar was definitely something new and quite fitting for a horror game imo.
I didn't like Revelations that much, though i did like playing with Jill. But every other chapter you had to play characters you don't care about and they didn't have to solve any puzzles or look for secrets, they just had to kill everything. That kinda killed the game for me. Revelations 2 did a far better job with some solid new mechanics, a really interesting story and just the right pace (plus the whole game costed like 20€ at launch which is totally ridiculous compared to other games nowadays).
@Hurvl: well it's because the context of what we wrote about that a good amount of the mystery of the series would be spoiled. The premise is an fbi agent looking for his missing partner after a car accident. That is how i started the series, basically not knowing anything, and every episode i had a different theory of what was going on. If you insist i'll tell you, but basically us talking about post-apocalyptic or dystopian themes really spoiled about 3/4 of the series and the theories you would have not knowing.
@Hurvl: No question about Mad Max being great, though storywise it doesn't have much in common with the other you mentioned. They're all basically 1984/BraveNewWorld-stories with teens. What i didn't like about divergent in comparison to the hunger games was the lack of bite (don't know how to describe it in English) and i don't just mean blood and gore, i also mean in the dialogues. It was all very 6+-friendly. More often did i cringe because of certain lines than with the hunger games. And when that supposedly bad-ass faction (forgot the name) appeared in the movie for the 1st time riding that train and jumping off and they were all like "yeah, we're wild, we're cool" the whole scene reminded me of a musical like grease, and i couldn't take it serious anymore. The hunger games took a lot of build up but delivered imo the depiction of the gruesomeness that is the hunger games. Not in an especially gory kinda way, but enough for me to take it serious.
As for Maze Runner i really liked the setting and the mysterious "wtf is going on here?" that the other movies don't have. Sure you had the same stereotypes (the bully, the funny one, the wise one, etc.) and the dialogues weren't particularly interesting to watch but i did enjoy watching them explore the maze and uncover its secrets. I still haven't finished the 2nd movie, since the secret is kinda lifted and all they do is run away which was kinda boring to watch.
Lastly there is a great series that has a familiar theme, but with adults in most main roles. I can't really name the series because what i just said would kinda spoil a good 3/4 of the series. It is a super fast pace series imo which i liked, with mysteries and cliffhangers that almost always get solved in the next episode. Sometimes they're so fast that i actually had to stop watching just to have some time to think about what i just saw. I already wrote this somewhere but i think the producers of Lost would've (sadly) made 4 or 5 seasons out of the stuff that happens in just this 1 season of that series. If you know what i'm talking about let me know :)
