All Things Video Games/Game Reviews Part II

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.

The industry and customers will reset it just fine, have to adapt and stop making shitty microtransaction online only garbage. Great games have all started with a passion to make them, if you don't have that it will be obvious and the suckers are less likely to buy in.

Yessir, I think you are seeing a pasture burn of the bloat. The remaining soil is going to be nice and ripe since gaming has never been more prolific than it is now.

ill just add some other titles like valheim, terraria, core keeper,lethal company, factorio, the dwarf mining game (foprgot the title) etc... that set the stage for those guys to succeed


and also to Steam, the platform that allows us to find these great independent games

I haven’t played games in years, typically RE games only. Just came across the Ready or Not trailer, that shit looks awesome.

if you avoid the big names like EA, Activision/Blizzard and Ubisoft. You'll be a lot better off. There might be a couple of decent games those ones would put out but it's rare. Basically avoid publicly traded companies with games, they are there for their shareholders, not to make a great game. I would be surprised if those companies even allow creativity in their workplace. They are probably only allowed to stick to a 'proven forumula' where indy's are working on passion projects and encourage creativity.

We’ll see. I still have to play FF7 Remake after I finish Days Gone.
I played for 4 hours today and it's very good. Basically played through the demo again and a little bit more. Can't wait to get through this game although dreading one scene that I am sure is coming in this one.

The World Intel really adds to the runtime of the game if you do it. Every region I've done has been 5+ hours to 100% and they seem to come every other chapter or so.

Good Lord . I guess they heard all the complaining about Tifa and took heed. The fan service is ridiculous at points. I will say they've done an absolutely phenomenal job of building the relationships between the characters in a believable way. Red XIII may be the funniest character so far for one scene in particular.

What is the issue? Not sure I heard anything, or I am out of the loop.

It was a relatively small issue, but they've been going out of their way to censor younger Tifa at Nibelheim recently. Makes sense to me but someone's always gotta complain. To contrast that, they crammed the game with quite a bit of fan service of her in particular.

As for the game itself, the only real complaints I have is the side content isn't QUITE engaging enough for how much of it there is, and even though it's technically "optional" you're putting yourself at a severe disadvantage in multiple ways by not doing it. Also, as characters get added they (understandably) hog the screentime for quite a while and other characters are pretty much left to the back burner for LARGE swaths of game time.

I gotcha. I guess no matter what someone will not be happy.

I agree with this. They basically replaced the level grinding in the old game with a bunch of little side quests, but they added TONS of them and it kind of ruins the flow of the game. These little inconsequential side stories shouldn't take away the focus in the main story.
