Uncharted 4 does the things you mentioned. The gunfights are fun and ridiculous and have the option of stealth, and all the combat arenas feel open for you to approach them how you want. It's still linear, but there's multiple paths through areas which makes it feel like you're playing the game as opposed to just following a script.
Hard Redux is fun, but some of the upgrades are useless. There';s barely any visual difference, the sword is pretty much useless (they give it to you then swarm with kamikazi bots). It's fun, but Hard Reset was never my favourite of these kinds of games. I prefer Painkiller, Serious Sam, or the new Shadow Warrior. Pro tip with this game though, get the shotgun first, makes the game much more fun.
Haven't watched Outcast yet, will have to soon though. Have you watched Preacher yet? God that's good. I actually like the shows version of Tulip more than the comic's (I know, blasphemy) and this version of Cass is fucking awesome. It's quirky, whimsical, gory and insane.
Haven't gotten around to DC rebirth. The Preacher show has gotten me on somewhat of a Vertigo kick, so I've been reading Sandman, Swamp Thing, and, well, Preacher.
Ok. Compared to 2004 which has a ludicrous amount of masterpieces come out is a bit daft. I'm saying it was a good year, not a fantastic game. And espeically compared to the year before which was straight up dogshit. 2014 was a terrible year for games. 2015 had some bs, but unlike 2014, 2015 had a ton of good games in it.
How did I go into Mass Effect with a bias? I went into it the same way as any other and disliked it because I put the minor flaws above all of the actual good points of the game, which sounds a lot like what you're doing with The Witcher 3.
I said the same about Mass Effect. Look where we are now. And The Witcher 3 is better than the entire Mass Effect series in my opinion.
As for shit that happened in 2013: Um... Sim City launch was far worse than anything that came out last year, there was a bunch of bs with the new consoles (xbone in particular), Kickstarter BS happened then. And then there was all the bullshit that happened in 2014. Considering what 2012, 2013, and 2014 were I think 2015 was a fucking fantastic year.
Disagree. The choices generally fit with this version of geralt, apart from a few areas in novigrad combat is fine, (so, maybe a 10th of the game), leveling is far from slow and is barely necessary as story is the main thing kweping you going not levels. I think you need to replay the game honestly.
Sure there was some bullshit this year, but i still prefer the games this year. And there was plenty of bullshit in 2013 as well.
And no, stanley paravle isnt better. Its pretty spectacular but far from flawless.
Yep, the internet can go fuck itself.
If you don't like games like Painkiller or Serious Sam, you'll probably not like new Doom, though I like it. I do think my problem is playing a PC shooter on console though.
Play Uncharted 4. You may enjoy it.
I'm excited to play Dishonored 2, Mirrors Edge, No Man's Sky, and Deus Ex at the moment, but only because right now I can't think of what else is coming out. And yeah I should blog more, but eh. I just can't think of anything to write half the time. Or I start writing, think it's shit, and scrap it. I also do the same with like 90% of my comments.
I feel the same about Saints Row 4 and 99.99% of Zelda games. To each their own. I think The Witcher series has some of the best writing in video games, and to back it up the gameplay is pretty spectacular. Flawed as fuck, but pretty damn good. Almost every game you mentioned that came out in 2013 I feel varying degrees of meh to. Most of my top 10 that year I was pretty indifferent to, and I apart from the The Last of Us, and Path of Exile. I haven't replayed any.
Already I've replayed Bloodborne like 20 times. I'm replaying The Witcher 3 and enjoying it more than the first time (even reading the books and got the physical Gwent set), plus I've replayed MGSV because that is a systemically mindblowing game. I plan on playing Undertale again as soon as my emotions recover from my last playthrough, and I'm still playing Rocket League and the occasional game of Splatoon.
Honestly, it seems like a taste thing at the moment. I'm an rpg guy. I like fantasy. I like Souls games. I'm not a huge fan of most of the games you listed. Just preference is all. Mind you, my tastes are objectively better as I'm enlightened in the ongoing church of awesome, but your tastes - as flawed though they may be child - are yours to bear. Enjoy your shitty video games you pleb.
Yeah. memories of Celceta is nowhere as good as 7, though Oath in Felghana is definitively the best Ys game in terms of gameplay if not soundtrack (it's pretty spectacular though).
But god damn, Ys has some of the best music in gaming. Thanks, now I need to dust my vita off :p
Good games, not as good as the witcher 3, mgsv, bloodborne, undertale, or until dawn, with the first 3 of those going into my top 50 of all time. Seriously, replaying the witcher 3 it might break my top 15.
So nintendo had a good year. That explains why i didnt care for that year. The last of us is a genuine classic, but nothing else there really approaches my favourites from 2015.
