Honest question...

Did any of you actually play foamstars?

The game may be fine, but I can't for the life of me I can't imagine why they thought ripping off Splatoon was a good idea. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to see Taco Bell flat out offer a new "floor mat burrito". "Now with our signature baja burner sauce, to enhance the floor flavor!". This world is so lost.

No thanks

A lot of the reasons started last gen or even before. Once WoW drew the attention of the investor crowd, it was all over. Then mobile came along and threw napalm on the fire. Then add in the desire for top notch production at bargain bin prices. It's not rocket science to see that recipe isn't shelf stable.

I've never gotten the praise for Hulst. Killzone had some ok entries, and Horizon just sucks. Guerrilla is good at graphics and tech, but their games don't have 'it'.

I don't know who the other dude is.

This is probably just the standard list of my favorites, since those are what I judge other games against.

I guess I could pick an aspect that I loved, and then walk through the games that added to that. Like the first competitive game I played was probably Combat, which led to the first Madden on SNES -> Mario kart battle mode -> Street Fighter 2/Mortal Kombat -> Twisted Metal -> Metal Warriors -> Duke Nukem 3D -> GoldenEye -> Winback -> Perfect Dark -> Halo CE. There's way more games that could be in there, but those are the ones that jumped out at me.

@hardwenzen: @DaVillain: I didn't like gow2018 like you guys did, so Ragnarok was dead to me before it was announced, but your version of kratos being resurrected in Egypt would be awesome! I love Egyptian mythology, or there abouts. It blows my mind that more games haven't done something with that. AC did, but I don't like AC, and they took way too long to get there anyway. Lut Gholein in Diablo 2 is my happy place.

I cancelled mine 3 or 4 years ago. No big loss.

@R4gn4r0k: The mixing of properties disgusts me too. Not only is it painful to see some of my favorite things dipped in sh!t, but having one homogeneous lame ass world that smoothes the edges off everything sucks as well. I much prefer having many different worlds, with their own unique feel.

@Archangel3371: To be clear, are you talking about Perfect Dark Zero, or the 360 remake of the N64 game?

I haven't bought or played a new game in almost five years.
