I'm still on the fence on whether or not to buy this. Obviously, the package sounds great, especially at £39.99, could even find it cheaper somewhere. My only issue is, I really found the beta underwhelming, the combat system was too geared towards action, yet failed to grasp the magic of XII, which struck a balance between turn based and action.

Is the story gripping? Because that could swing it for me...then I am reminded of that frat boy, corny american lad character design lol Maybe I'll avoid it.

I like the choice most of all, it is so in these types of games.

Beyond that, they normally have really good graphics and the control schemes, though kinda odd, when you get used to it, they feel quite intuitive.

Cant wait for Detroit.

I pretty much agree with this list. I know Anthem will be micro transaction based, as are any games with increased online functionality.

My greatest disappointment was hearing FFVII remake would be episodic. The moment I heard that ,I think sometime last year, I shook my head and said rip off. I hope it fails.

EDL, Britain First and the rest of these idiots, who claim to be doing things in Jesus name, are just small, fringe group losers. The less the media props them up with publicity, the better.

As an outsider (I'm a Brit) with some understanding of history, I agree that America would certainly be a different place if MLK had never been assassinated, and equally (maybe more) if Malcolm X had not been assassinated. Both men, by the time of their assassinations, out grew the moniker of being black leaders or black activists. Malcolm X in particular, especially since coming back from Hajj and joining true Islam, had started to be more moderated in his speech, more willing, in fact, more wanting to work with other groups, black or other wise. It led to his historical speech at the Oxford union, somewhere the pre-Islamic Malcolm X may never have been invited for.

Anyway, if they had remained alive and live/died natural life spans, the identity of American growth would be very different. Since their deaths and those of other activists throughout the 60s and 70s, American youth movement has stalled and maybe died. In particular, within the African American community, men and women want to be the next Jay Z or Beyonce, they want to be gangster and hoes and bitches etc. Those were views, labels and ways of life that both MLK and Malcolm X would have opposed vehemently. Their communities would have been more politically and socially aware of their own problems and better equipped to deal with them.

My 2 pence on this discussion.

Nope....just no. I played WD for a few hours and it was bland, boring and mediocre.

GTA V was on a different level and the open world it portrayed, with all its little jibes and modern culture and social media, is one of the best ever created. Not sure what can top it, maybe GTA 6? Maybe RDR 2?

Hell yeah!

I played the original a few years after release, and although it was graphically quite dated, the story, alternate world, characters and shooting was spot on. Plus it is one of those rare FPS games that actually gets cover in a first person perspective, right. Then I played Resistance 2 and it was such a big step up from the first. I never got to play the final game in the series but I hear it is the best of the lot.

I know Insomniac are working on their biggest project to date, so why not hand it over to Blue Point games? Those guys have rebuilt Shadow of the Colossus and worked on several HD remasters. Plus they helped develop Titanfall, so obviously have an understanding of FPS games.

It'll be easier than working on Shadow, because the graphics will not need a major overhaul and apart from responsiveness, I don't think they'd have too much to do with the controls either. It'd be like their Drake remasters.

I'd buy it.

Time Crisis, which came with my PS1. I spent hours and hours on that game...and the funny part is, in those first few months, my dad hadn't even bought me a memory card so I just used to reply the same section over and over lol

I think the time for the big developers/publishers to crash is long gone. I hope I'm wrong and they take a huge hit and have to change their sleazy policies but I won't hold my breath.

I'd say from the late 90s to around 2005-ish for the golden age of gaming. Think about it, Tekken, FF, GT, MGS, Burnout, Halo, Mario, Resi, Zelda and so many other series were all at, or near their best. Consoles were genuinely different from PCs and there wasnt a micro transaction in sight.

The PS3/360/Wii gen was very good too and some of the best games of all time are from that era but it didnt have the same quantity as what had come before. Plus, we started seeing the seeds for modern loot boxes, half finished games, micro transactions and online always being planted. For me that is a huge problem.

The current gen is the worst/weakest/most rip off generation of gaming ever.
