Timesplitters 3 is the best Timesplitters game and the most fun FPS ever

Dark Souls is quite repetitive and as such gets boring fairly quickly.

Jaysis ya. Multiplayer offline of this took up hours and hours of my life.

I think the main campaign was co-op possible too which is always fun. Great game. The voice acting/script was funny too.

Seeing that the game is over 11 years old is just mindboggingly sickening haha

AC Syndicate is kind of boring and not much better than Unity.

I agree.

AC is good looking but it's the same thing, over and over again.
Doesn't help that they changed perspective and repainted the scenery and made Far Cry 3/4 and Watchdogs as well, with much the same gameplay

This +1

I loved Brotherhood and Black Flag. Both were incredible. Revelations and Rogue were both good as well but not a patch on the other 2. All 4 are better than Syndicate though.

chrislad · 22-11-2016 5:16pm

I quite liked Syndicate, but I also like Unity. The only ones I really don't like are the first one, Rogue, and AC III. The rest have their good points, but I do think the repetitiveness can be applied to most open world third person games (such as Shadow of Mordor, Arkham Knight/City, all of which I also enjoy!)

In a world where Platinum games are churning out Metal Gear Rising Revengeance and Bayonetta, games that rely almost exclusively on 'Arkham' combat systems don't deserve to exist or even be as popular as they are.

But they're cool and easy and have ascending numbers. People love cool, easy things with ascending numbers

Shadow of Mordor would be the exception maybe?

Platinum are a 50/50 studio for me, for every good game they have , they have a totally rubbish one too. Turtles was crap so that should mean Scalebound will be good .... or so I keep telling myself

People need to stop getting angry over preorders.

True that.

Why should Shadow of Mordor be an exception? Don't get me wrong, just finished it and I loved that game but the combat is so inherently flawed, I'm glad it at least forced you to use other methods

I can edit too.

I see people giving out about them a lot but it's not their money, people will either get something they want or get burned and be more careful.
I preorder things myself now and again.

Nope, Shadow of Mordor is one of the biggest offenders for me. It relies too heavily on it's awful and flawed combat system. I just can't enjoy it because the combat is so poor and that's all there really is to it, unlike the Batman games.

Stone Deaf 4evr · 23-11-2016 1:00pm

I think shadow of mordor is overrated.

dont get me wrong, its grand, and the nemesis system is interesting, but as I played through it, I kept waiting for the part where I'd be blown away by it.

+1 never understood the appeal,game after game of the same thing more or less.

Agree on the shadow of mordor comments above too, got bored of it very quickly.

Hearthstone is a load of crap.

crowseye · 23-11-2016 2:49pm

Advanced Warfare has the best zombies gameplay and map, I've put more time into the Carrier map then all the other zombie maps in the other games combined.

jones · 23-11-2016 3:21pm

Was given infinite warfare for free and so wasn't expecting much from it given the reviews and general malaise around the game.

Fired it up on my PS4 pro and i love it - graphics settings etc top notch. Maybe it COD fatigue but this game with modern warfare remastered bundled is a bargain IMO

ps talking about single player here i havent played MP at all. I'm one of the dying breed who prefers SP games

Nintendo Switch is just a bloody tablet with a docking station and a controller mounted on the side.
People faffing over it like it's the second coming of Christ.
Man that felt good

Yeah, I found the reactions people had to it were a bit strange. It's like being in a cinema where everybody else is laughing at something that is patently unfunny and you're looking around you trying to figure out if the rest of the audience are on drugs or what.

I really cant seem to enjoy fps. I havent enjoyed any shooter since Conflict Desert Storm 2.

Were they though? I think that's an exaggeration, it got positive early comments after the reveal but too little is known of it to be 'the second coming of Christ'
I think you're taking whatever positively exaggerated minority comments that were out there, because people are people, about it and using that as a general reaction to it. Personally, I think it looks as if it has great potential, or am I faffing too much?

You basically just described 99% of Internet discussions about video games :pac:

The world doesn't revolve around boards.ie
This is my opinion on what I read on boards and elsewhere for that matter.
Yes I believe that it's quite radical reaction to something that is essentially a tablet.
