    Completed my first game of 2015 last night (most of the play was in 2014 obviously!) so thought I'd start this year's thread.

    The 2012 thread is here.

    The 2013 thread is here.

    The 2014 thread is here.

    So here we go...

    PC

    - Far Cry 3: fun game but a bit of a slog in the end, felt like I rushed through the final act. I often do this with games featuring a lot of collecting-type side quests; at the start I was really into capturing outposts, hunting and crafting, the Trials of the Rakyat, etc... but got bored with it all after 20 hours of game time and finished off the main story line during a marathon session (for me!) yesterday, think I ended up with 26 hours total play time.

    Completed Ryse: Son of Rome yesterday, it's okay. Very linear and you cannot venture anywhere outside of the story at all. It's fun for a while and the executions are fun but there's not much gameplay in it at all.

    Infamous: Second Son. Really fun game, I've read about how some people don't like the definite good/bad side to it but I enjoyed that part especially.

    I've played enough games recently where everything is morally grey so to get a game where you're given the choice to be either a true hero or a sadistic asshole (I'm guessing, I haven't completed the bad side...) appeals to me.

    Luckily, the DLC is free on PSN this month so I'll give that a go too.

    I finished Dust: An Elysian Tale this morning. It was really enjoyable if a bit on the easy side. It's also a great looking platformer.

    Actually now that I think of it they should have gone into 2014. As I completed them in December and a bit of January. I done nearly all of the side missions in the first, except the impossible ones (the ones they give after you finish) and the collect 100 zombie heads. I put 65 hours into first and roughly the same into second. Did not complete Big game hunt DLC found it too difficult at the beginning. Might go back to it.

    I really enjoyed that game, story was genuinely very good for a short indie platform and it had a pretty nice atmosphere overall.

    I finished Shadow of Mordor last night, great game overall, would highly recommend to AC fans or Batman fans

    I finished The Walking Dead: Season 1 again today. I got it cheap in a sale before Christmas. It was a struggle to play through it again. So many characters I hated.

    Completed Tomb Raider 2013. Pretty good but found it completely different than previous versions. The tombs were easier than previous versions I found as well or maybe it's because I'm older, I don't really know I just found them easy. I wouldn't recommend spending the extra on the dlc tomb. Imo it brought nothing new to the table.

    Wrapped up Shadow of Mordor at last, the Hunt DLC is there looking at me, but I'm disappointed by what a half-arsed effort they put into that, so I might leave it till there's some more stuff out so I can throw myself back into it again.

    Just finished Pariah for Xbox. It's okay. combat is satisfying but the story is pretty forgetful for the most part. Local multiplayer is fun, as is the map editor.

    Just finished GTA V and Far Cry 3 on PS3. They've been sitting there ages waiting to be played.

    I really enjoyed both, but I was completely underwhelmed by the Far Cry 3 ending. The choices made absolutely no sense. Death by snu-snu??

    The enemy AI is pretty funny at times too. Sitting on the side of a mountain clearing an outpost when all of a sudden one of them has decided to walk up the mountain path to see who has fired a suppressed sniper from 300m away, ha.

    The third one I cleared I shot one sniper, the rest of the camp cleared out to find me, I'm behind a rock down the hill trying to figure out how to do it without being detected. Two minutes later "outpost cleared" pops up on my screen. They walked into a field full of dingoes and cassowary, ha.

    Valiant Hearts for the PS4. Really enjoyed it except the vehicle chase sections.
    Really nice art style and I liked how they built up the characters through voiceovers.
    That ending though :(

    Battlefield 4 on PC. It was a fairly good game, kinda short. Very difficult to play a PC game with xbox controller when all the on screen buttons are designed for PC. Takes a while to figure out which does what. Some games pick up you are using xbox controller and change all the on screen buttons to xbox but not this game, very frustrating.

    Adding to my list, new ones in bold:

    PC

    - Far Cry 3: fun game but a bit of a slog in the end, felt like I rushed through the final act.
    - The Walking Dead Season 2: Didn't have the same impact on me as the first one, but really enjoyed it all the same - obviously it's more an interactive story than anything else!

    Android

    - Leo's Fortune: This little platformer looked and played great; I hooked my Nvidia Shield Tablet up to a 40 inch TV and it still looked damn sweet. Short game, not particularly difficult, but fun.

    I finished Dragon Age Inquisition yesterday and was very confused by the ending. Having never played Dragon Age before I didn't have a clue how important 'that' scene was so I had to look up some DA lore. I fair want to play the previous games now...

    First game of 2015.

    Really great game I had never played the original. A bit annyoing how you keep getting pulled back out of the level after each mission but excellent game altogether.

    lol true but this is a computer game. Where is the fun in standing over every corpse and pressing E on every single item they have dropped? You end up just running around rapidly pressing E after every fight. Not exactly what I want to be doing with my free time

    How inconsiderate of you. Pressing 'E' is to also pay your respects to the human being you just took from the world. You can at least do that before stealing all the precious gear from their dead, lifeless corpses.

    Some people...:pac:

    Haha I know, I was only messing. I wouldn't mind just inspecting the inventory and taking it that way, unless you gib them and then it would be understandable to have to go around and pick it up.
