Nah, IGN's review is fair. He did mention that it's well worth checking out on sale or when it's patched, and his arguments against it are justified for the demographic they aim their reviews towards. It is a niche game. Super morally ambiguous, tons of branching paths that actually matter and some awesome as fuck lore.
Lightning Returns seems to play more like a Tales of/Star Ocean title with its combat. I like the Time Limit in Dead Rising and Majora's Mask. I should give it another go at some point.
Have you played Elex? i have the first draft of an Impressions blog written, should be up soon.
I think the stamina bar would work quite well there. Ideally, since it's not Dark Souls, I think it should have difficulty selection, with Hard being the Dark Souls experience. It could also be an FPS similar to Metroid Prime, but with magic and melee weapons ala Hexen.
Somali Pirates could be cool, especially if you played as one. Honestly, with Assassin's Creed Origins being as awesome as it is, I can't wait for Far Cry 5! I'd love to reenact the church scene from Kingsman!
The game you're thinking of is The Getaway, and you'd be thinking of it because I used a pic from it :p
Same here, but we both know these franchises are going to be milked until the end of time.
That would be awesome, but if Far Cry 5 is any good it looks like you'll get your wish.
They have Ninja Gaiden and Stubbz the Zombie. That's enough for me.
CoD has been hit or miss, but it always tries something new with its settings at least. I find playing every 3rd or 4th game helps combat that.
Haven't played enough of Dynasty Warriors to really have a say, which is why I left it out. If you have any suggestions I could put it in the next one of these I do.
Yeah. 1950's-70's New Orleans would make an incredible setting IMO for any game. Watching American Horror Story now, and there are so many cool ideas for games in those.
Get Rise of the Tomb Raider then. It's still not a game I love, but other people do and it did really cut back on the QTE's with the exception of a few points that I think are justified. I don't mind GoW 1-3/PSP games QTE's, but the one after that went stupid with them.
