@Ferric24 @bbq_R0ADK1LL @mirage_so3 My armour is definitely good enough. In fact I've done all most all the side missions while holding off the last story missions so I'm completely over-leveled. Even so, I often end up with the same weapon or armour, whether it's crafted or looted, for way too long.
@mirage_so3 You know the stuff some people payed an extra $10 for? Now you can pay an extra $10 too!
Great DLC guys.
Anything developed before the game is released should be in the game. Any well paced RPG with a good loot system shouldn't need extra weapons & armour DLC to make it a better experience. (DA: Inquisition is great but the loot is very slow. Both me & a friend playing different classes have been stuck with the same weapon or armour for 10-20+ hours. Not a good loot system but you shouldn't have to pay extra to make it better).
@Ferric24 I guess they would do a spiritual successor rather than carry on with the same characters.
RDR was a great game. I wouldn't buy the same game again for PC but I would love them to do a PC release for the next one. Also I hope they don't waste time on a first person mode like they've done with the re-release of GTA V. It's fine for added content but I don't want to see a game delayed to cram it in (same sentiment goes for any multiplayer).
I loved Watch Dogs, I thought it was a great game. It was still disappointing compared to all the hype though. I expected a more mature, gritty story but the whole underground slave trade thing was a pretty small part of the story & the optional follow up missions were incredibly boring. There weren't enough different mission types & the protagonist had no real personality.
If anything, I would complain about the blatant hype pieces GS runs rather than the scores.
@yanivic Laws have changed in the States requiring them to acknowledge when the video is sponsored within the content of the video. Just imagine how many of these were sponsored & never stated it before they had to.
Looks like Ubi has really gone for quantity over quality this season.
NFS Rivals wasn't too bad a game (once you upped the framerate to 60fps) but I got really annoyed when I got booted from the server & lost single player races because of online BS I didn't care about. Single player stuff is fun guys, stop trying to force always online into everything.
I enjoy a variety of games so the odd Uncharted-like directed experience that feels like an action movie is great sometimes. Cinema has its failings though & shows like The Wire, Breaking Bad & Game of Thrones have shown us that you can get a whole lot more character development & tell far more interesting stories when you have a lot more hours to tell your story. Bioware games like Dragon Age & Mass Effect actually do a great job of crafting believable characters that have their own motivations & character arcs.
Many games that aim to 'look & feel' cinematic often skimp on the real story they're trying to tell or on fun gameplay. I worry about The Order: 1886, it may look pretty but will the mechanics live up to the visuals? The Witcher 2 managed to have stunning visuals & world crafting, interesting characters & still be fun to play (& I'm hoping that The Witcher 3 will be even better). Beyond: Two Souls & The Last of Us both had interesting stories to tell but I wouldn't necessarily say they felt 'cinematic' whatever that means.
What I really hope is that as video games mature as a medium, they will stop trying to emulate other media & embrace what they are.
@jack00 I love nice graphics. Textures & character models are important to me. Gameplay is more important. It sounds like the shooting is good, the problem is that most of the time you are watching cutscenes with minimal interaction & you will spend more time watching for quicktime events than you will actually shooting anything.
Hey, maybe it will be good but like many others, I'm pretty skeptical.
