Was bored and dug out Walking Dead Season two the past couple of nights. The first 2 episodes stunk to high heaven but the 3rd episode was actually really good. On par with the ones from the first game which really caught me off guard. I feel like I owe it to myself to finish it off now.Well sure, sometimes folks like more of the same and sometimes not... All good.
It's a RPG way more than a shooter. And I forgot the latest Dragon Age installment, which didn't quite stack up to Witcher, but was real solid.
I think you're mostly joking, but wouldn't Geralt's crossbow make Witcher a shooter too?
The Division looks good -- so long as they make it more deep than Destiny. That's really my worry at this point. It could be a fantastic game - or - it could be like Destiny; fun for a little while and then just out of content.
Thats my worry with the Division. Its going to be a gritty Destiny with less imagination, less content and lame weapons.
Yeah. I really want someone to create a game like Destiny, or even like The Division, but put in the amount of content as like a World of Warcraft. I was like a billion weapon choices along with a billion armor/clothing options in a world with a billion quests and missions. I want to have a character that I actually want to grind and upgrade.
*"would like" - not "was like". But noticed after edit period was gone.
The reality is that we simply aren't there yet with online gaming and price points. Online killed Twisted Metal quicker than shit last gen and I loved that series. Its going to take a miracle to get Street Fighter V up and running. The Division is going to get big hype but Im not sure its going to be worth it. Its just a generic FPS with a couple of gimmicks imo.
It feels lately like games are being rushed through development just to get out faster than their competitors or to keep up a one game a year pace. It's unfortunate because you end up with games like Battlefront that look and feel absolutely amazing, but fail to provide a decent game. If a developer actually took time to develop a perfect game, they could end up winning in the long run because they could just release DLC's that customers pay for, for the next 10+ years (like WoW did and still is -- like what, 12-15 years later?).
WoW has been dead to me for a few years but I do agree that things are getting rushed. Gaming simply costs too much right now and game companies are pushing out bad products to get cash flow. Destiny was pretty clearly pushed out too soon as was its first expansion. The Taken King was the first time where Destiny felt like it was living up to its promise. Street Fighter 5 is a $60 multiplayer only game with day 1 server issues. The problem with this is that game development gets more and more expensive and we still think $60 is a ton of cash for a game. I'm sure the smart thing with that is going to be to wait 6 months and buy it on a flash sale but it certainly puts big doubts into what is being touted as an 8 year game.
Yeah, I haven't played WoW in a while - but mostly because I got out of PC gaming after college and I had to use my money for other, more important, things like...food...lol.
I still think BF 1942 was the best. Most of the classic maps in the BF franchise come from the original. BF 2 was good but I just don't have the same memories of it that I do if 1942. I would wager if you tried playing 1942 right now there would be a bunch of active servers and wouldn't find the same thing if you popped in BF2.
BF 1942 was just amazing. The maps were just huge. Like, if you jumped out of a plane in the middle of no where you contemplated suicide on your character just so you didn't have to walk back - huge. It was also one of the first games that gave you class choices and there was distinct advantages/disadvantages to each, something newer games have slowly been drifting away from. You picked the Engineer to fix vehicles? (which was a huge perk since they didn't heal back then) - well - here's your single shot, no scoped, bolt action rifle. Good luck lol. I just loved that game. And because it was WWII they were prop planes so the air battles were little slower and much more manageable. And something that has not been replicated since -- naval battles. They actually had maps where you'd get pretty much an entire fleet of ships that could all be sunk and taken out of the game -- including an aircraft carrier. And capture points in the water. It was just the best. I'm not quite sure why they've hesitated to add boats in the new versions
