2d dark souls.

- hard as fuck
- they're doing all the same mistakes that DS was doing, so sometimes stuff is really intransparent
- not sure if the DS gameplay translates to 2D well
- buttons are different from DS, which is really irritating 

Good posts.

Saints Row IV - 6.5/10
Worse than the last couple, only redeeming factor is it is quite funny and story interesting in b-movie Matrix ripoff sort of way. That stealth pisstake is one of the most amusing levels in a game I can remember, real Austin Power sort of humour. Roddy Piper 'They Live' homage was great too.
As a game though (it's combat, the superpowers, the recycled city from the last game) it's a friggin mess.


Shadow Warrior 2013 - 7/10
I wasn't expecting this to be quite as average as it is as it seemed to get good comments. Maybe it's because I've played every Painkiller game/addon and even clones like Dream Killer (and Serious Sam). But all I see in this game is Painkiller. Terrible flat level design, door closes behind you and enemies spawn in. Most just 1-hit fodder as you button mash. It's 100% Painkiller but with a sword and fewer creative environments. This is no old skool FPS at all. Good graphics at times though. Sequel looks pretty good. I can play Skyrim every day for 3 weeks, I pick up this and it's killing my wrist in just a few hours.


Enslaved: Odyssey to the West - 7.5/10
Really not too bad for a 2010 ps3 game remastered in 2013 for pc. Borderlands inspired post-apoc wasteland, quite nice environments, though linear. Camera angles and constant cutscenes get annoying by the end. Picks up in the second half with a third character and you discover the developers can actually write humour.

Pity they couldn't make the first half as good. Missed opportunity with character building. I was expecting some relationship building slave falls for hot owner and vice versa, but beyond constant instructions they barely spoke for the whole 7-8 hours of the game. They probably spoke more to Pisgy.

DMC5 next, another high paced wrist killer I'd imagine. 

 

Well when you take out strategy, side scrollers and platformers, top down isometric stuff, it doesn't leave a lot of actual good games. I've got Dishonored coming up though, you love that right? 

Shambler's taste in games is narrow in exactly the same way that his mum's clunge isn't.

Sorry, I'm afraid you're not even remotely close, unlike the distance between your tonsils and Shambler's ejaculating cock, which is currently measured in nanometers. 

 

In assless chaps and a cowboy hat,
appears czg, just like that! 

 

 

" I've got Dishonored coming up though, you love that right? "

Dishonored is one of my favorites, but only when played in stealth mode. 

The COD community certainly is full of complete morons. Probably the bottom feeders of the gaming community. 2.1 user score on Metacritic. I'm not even sure why. It just seems to be because it wasn't quite as good as 2012s Black Ops II. Mainly it was easier to camp in MP, higher specs so slow wi-fi had issues and it required 6gm RAM, wtf I've got 16gb and could easily have purchased 32gb if any game needed it, if you can't afford 6gb of RAM then you probably should be focusing on getting a fucking job rather than sitting around play COD.
No FOV slider (really, a game deserves all these 0/10s because it has no FOV slider? The FOV in game is fine as is).

From campaign perspective I was impressed. Still only 4-5 hours long, but do people really want to play a 20 hour COD campaign? Hell no. Not when you've also got Battlefield 4, Crysis 3 and Killzone the same year. The story definitely wasn't as good as BPII but the rest was just as good, and graphics themselves were far superior to BPII. It appears to have used a much higher version of the IW engine (BPII on v3, Ghosts on v5) and the results show. Of course, regulars players seem to prefer a lower spec game with shit graphics vs a higher spec game with amazing graphics.

The levels were great, some of the best I've played.
Great space levels (although not the best, Deep Space 3 had it there)
Best city flooding level
Best underwater level by far!
The train level was good, the aircraft carrier sinking, there was a building one where it collapsed a plane crash followed by a sweet looking jungle level. Fucking epic blockbuster action scenarios. A few action parts just went over the top silly (the car chase ones). But COD does these action setpieces better than any other game, period.

Totally new story in a future WW (which the good guys have practically lost), and obviously set up for future sequels. Sadly that probably won't happen with the reaction it got. 8/10 

Also played Devil May Cry, I thought I'll get that custard outta the way before I play something longer (Dishonored, Metro, GTA5, Mass Effect 3 all coming up on my list). Nice gameplay and melee combat, but the rest is pretty average. Dante is completely ruined, turned into a dumb teenage boy. His moral choices in the game are actually wrong (you're going to save the chick over the entire human race, and then at the end you'd rather kill your teammate/brother than let him help civilisation recover... dafuq?)

The awesome fantasy horror world of the last DMC is replaced with a pretty shit looking city, with far too much post-processing and blurry texture effects over everything. The game does have some really creative ideas, though. The boss fights look cool, some nice level ideas such as the upside-down city.

I hated requiring gold orbs to resume gameplay otherwise it's game over and start the level again. Probably because I'm not that good at this fast-paced gameplay. Even story-mode I died enough times lol.

6.5/10

And game on sale.

Hurrah for demos! But in this case it didn't grab me. Too much exactly more of the same, and the 4th wall breaking bs is, well, bs.

This looks awesome, lots of humour and style.

Graphics look fantastic in this thing. Pity it's multiplayer, but maybe I'll be able to play solo. Shame about the character voices though.
