I'm REALLY tempted to pick this up. On the other hand, Christmas is just around the corner, and I'm wondering if I should wait to see if I get it and play maybe Just Cause 4 or Horizon Zero Dawn or just go ahead and pick it up
I don't know what to tell you. You're gonna have to decide for yourself. I like it so far, however I haven't played it much yet.
Hmmm..... I'm probably going to go ahead and get it. I've been staring at the box art for Just Cause 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn and neither seem to have a character wielding a lightsaber
Well I absolutely loved Horizon. It's one of the most gorgeous games I've ever player, the world is very interesting and the gameplay is awesome. Just FYI.
Horizon Zero Dawn is perfection. It's fun, it's vast, and it's an amazing world they have built. Just Cause 4 well fuck that it's a let down. 2 and 3 were the best of that series.
Tokyo Ghoul re: [call to exist]. One thing I can say about Bandai is they know how to make a ridiculously satisfying fighting system. The game is a lot of fun, if not repetitive.
I decided to hold off until Christmas before buying any new games, so I've been working on Mortal Kombat 11 and am about three quarters of the way through the story. I didn't care for this game at first, but it's growing on me.
Mostly Batman Arkham Knight currently. I like these Batman games a lot with their open world, combat system and story but the controls are so messed up because buttons are double or triple tagged with functions and it's very hard to keep track of all the combat moves and counters Batman is capable of in this game. However when you watch a pro fight in Batman via Youtube who knows all the combos by heart it just looks plain awesome.
I'm not a big player of other fighting games, but I can assure you, just button mashing the square button and the evade button, I felt pretty badass as Batman in these three Arkham games (didn't play Origins).
That's roughly my approach as well on top of using special takedowns whenever they are highlighted and i manage to twist my fingers fast enough to hit multiple buttons at once
Watch Dogs 2. New to the series, but I'm having a lot of fun and I'm fairly impressed at what I'm finding in the amount of variety. Even some of the simple collection missions involve puzzles on how to access them. The world also feels more alive than the GTA series as there's always something fun going on. I once witnessed a fight break out between two drivers who got out of their vehicles and began a fistfight. The police were called out and arrested them. That was amazing to see. Also witnessed a random heated discussion and stood there just listening and it was getting worse and worse by the second and it disturbed the rest of the NPCs in the area. I also love the way people will react when you do something outlandish, like controlling a skylift and bringing up some stairs to an unexpected location.
It's definitely fun, but it felt a bit cheap in story compared to the first one. I really thought they'd resume their story of taking down Blume, and loose story ends like the Bellweather program which seemed like an evil AI..
I'll likely get a used copy of it at EB-Games next time I'm there. I'm in Canada though, so slightly more expensive at $14.99
