GOW has been getting alot of predictions for GOTY. Looks like a 3 horse race with GOW, Elden Ring and Forbidden West. Forbidden West has been picking up some momentum and GOTY wins of late to go from dark horse to real contender.
Never been a big From guy personally, so didn't get that deep into it. Probably 15 or so hours. But it was very impressiveI need to pick Forbidden West back up. It is a fantastic game!
Also, speaking of Elden Ring, my buddy purchased it when it released. We game share, so I finally downloaded it and gave it a whirl....just because....why not? I'm not sure it's quite up my alley, but dang, that game is hard as hell.
I really liked the Splinter Cell Blacklist bc I had come to the series a bit later than most and then they stopped making them. Would be cool to play the remake of the original. I used to give up on the more complicated games and now am gravitating that way.
I hopped into Deathloop (it hit GamePass) and gave it a whirl. It didn't necessarily grab me, however, I also didn't give it a real chance either. It was kind of a filler game at that moment, but then Gotham Knights dropped and that took my attention way. With that said, I have heard good things about it, can see why people like it, and I will give it another true chance.Been playing Deathloop the last few weeks and would recommend it. The rogue-like nature may turn some off, but there is a stacked approach where you don't feel you're wasting your time when you don't kill a boss (7 mini ones) or make huge story progression.
Don't play DL after a few beers or joints tho, you need to be "somewhat" clear to catch onto the format for progression. After the first few, go nuts!
Going to dive into GOW next. Wanted something a bit different after what was months of paper cuts to kill Elden Ring...game was okay, but I liked it least of all the Souls games so far (didn't play DS 2 though). I had to constantly look up how to progress the story lines and took a lot of the fun out of the open world tbh.
I can see that easily, I really didn't think I would stick with it after the first 20-30 minutes either tbh, just "something" to play before GOW and saw it was added to the PS Gamepass that doesn't nearly compete with Xbox (difft. topic lol)...
Like I said those first three were great, even at times very challenging. The lighting effects and such were very groundbreaking at the time the first game was released. I have no clue why they basically abandon the series, I think they did it to concentrate on all the assassin's Creed games because they were better money makers. Just my opinion.
Ah Ubisoft and that was when AC was at its height - makes total sense they went with more approachable of the two for younger/general audiences. I think the COD era made companies think the stealth shooters (SP) weren't going to be a thing people would stick with until MGS5 showed otherwise.
Yeah I'm not a big fan of Ubisoft, they have been milking the assassin's Creed series for years. But whatever works I guess. And you mentioning Mgs5 reminded me I still haven't finished it LOL
That game got soooo repetitive I wouldn't blame ya for leaving it as is...really fun, but got very mechanical by the end. Loved ballooning people to space though...
