Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.
Anyway, just a quick rundown.
Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.
Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.
Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.
Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing. [Reply]

Speaking of Far Cry. Did you ever play Primal? Is it worth the money?
I did and no. Wait for an extreme sale if you really, REALLY love everything farcry. It was f'ing terrible in my book.
Graphics were good but the storyline bored me to tears and I didn't care for the gameplay much. It's biggest drawback was that you couldn't walk more than a minute in any direction without having to kill someone or something. [Reply]

You play as Aloy, 1,000 years after the rise of the machines, apparently. She's an outcast from the main tribe and was raised by a serrogate father.
She ends up being accepted by the tribe (not going to ruin the story) and goes on an important mission to learn stuff.
The game is doing a helluva job keeping me in the dark on wtf is going on. It has a shit ton of side quests and I'm learning quickly that I need to play them to rank up before moving on to the second area.
You start off in Wyoming Rockies, move to Colorado and keep heading west. I'm in the desert (Utah I'm sure) and the graphics are phenomenal.
The music is some of the best I've heard since Bloodborne as well.
I'm guessing 100 hours of gameplay.
The Witcher was fucking excellent. I love the Far Cry series as well. It had its flaws but was fun, particularly this latest one. I enjoyed it. [Reply]
Once again this is a game ive looked forward to for well over two years now.
Once again... I'm a little disappointed.
Let's start with graphics.
They're wonderful. I've been very impressed with the range of view as well. The game is beautiful I have got to admit.
Music: It nearly perfect as well. Very impressive.
Voice/lip synch: This is average at best. I've noticed very general lip synching here so they can dub in other languanges.
Gameplay:
YAWN! While at first it's very impressive and captivating, you slowly realize that this is just another far cry game only more difficult and tedious.
I'm going to play it through because...
Storyline:
Very good. It has me captivated and I'm going to play it until it's beat.
Overall?
7 out of 10
It is above average at 100+ hours of gameplay but it isn't really anything new like I'd hoped. [Reply]
Being in nursing school has its downfalls. Man I wish I could get Horizon Zero Dawn. Thanks for the review Gonzo. That's why I don't get excited for very many games. Mostly Naughty Dog and Rockstar titles. Although witcher 3 lived up to my expectations and then some. Top 5 title in my opinion.

1st off... you're welcome man.

HZD isn't a bad game, it just is a bit more of the same. Like I said, if you like farcry, you'll love this.
I do have to admit that the attention to detail on this game is impressive and I'm loving the storyline.
I just think it could've been more than what it was. It has a lot of the Witcher's charm and it is leaning a bit on some of that but it's not nearly what I expected. [Reply]

Seems like most games leave something to be desired. [Reply]

Yeah, it's tough for them to live up to the hype. Then again, you find gems like Rocket League, Witcher etc.
They put in a lot of effort in HZD. It's just very cluttered and busy. They packed in too much even though the map is huge. There's a quest or collection item every ten feet.
Too many enemies too. You can't go anywhere for long without running into a pack of assholes or robots. [Reply]

I always come back to Destiny and how they just fucked that concept up and the game in its entirety. [Reply]
Trying to find some coop type games for the wife and I. She grew up on Nintendo games. Already bought her breath of the wild (which isn't coop) but know she wants some we can play together. Have Xbox, PS4, and Wii U so pretty open.
