Yeah, I feel mostly the same way about 3rd person games... I tolerate it though for good games. 

 

Well I bought it. It's going to take over 2 hours to download though. Maybe I should install one of the other games I bought first, so I'll have something to do while waiting.

I now have over 50 games from GOG. It's probably getting close to exceeding the number I have on Steam. Funny thing is, many of them I already had on Steam and only bought them to get DRM free versions. 

A thoroughly mediocre game in every way... 

I found it a thoroughly good game for 90% of it. 

Sure is a beautiful game and engine. But it seems they decided to try and copy the COD method of chucking out a short 5-6 hour campaign, more action but perhaps more regular since this is only 1.5 years after Crysis 2. But COD usually has a much more in depth story and keeps things interesting with different environments and gameplay types. Crysis 3 added the alien gameplay later, but it was pretty rubbish (clunky weapons, fuck all ammo, bad AI). Bad final battle that I ragequit on. You find yourself relying on cloak too much just to skip every enemy in the later stages. The first half of the game was the best, but most of the guns in the first half are shit. Quite disappointing to be honest, especially when its over in half the time it took to complete the first Crysis. But damn, those graphics! I'd replay it just for that. 8/10. And it is still a FPS (my favourite genre). 

This is the first Metal Gear game I've played (first to PC). Fuck, if this is what makes a successful franchise in the Japanese market, they don't have very high standards for games do they? This is garbage. The graphics and design look years out of date, like 2009-2012. Story/script/voiceacting a juvenile mess, though not that different to a lot of action-oriented anime tbh. Gameplay fit for ADHD players that is far too demanding to get accustomed to its basically incompetent decisions around key configurations (parrying is what I refer to). Some of the character models are hideous, it's as if the designers don't know how human anatomy works with tiny heads, thighs bigger than their chests, goofy looking faces. Oh and the worst thing is the anorexic tranny main character you play. WTF is it? With 1-hit-kills on the gameplay was a little more enjoyable, and some of the boss designs were creative (the lady made up of hands), but that's all I can really say is positive about this game. Just very mediocre. I finished it in just over 3 hours according to the in-game screen, and at least an hour of that would have been cutscenes because they pop up every 10 fucking secons. 5.5/10

It seems there's a gap in the market for a good fast-paced hack and slash game.

A lot of people have thighs bigger than their chests...

is an old game.
It's a decent enough hack and slash game, platinum are a good dev IMO.

Recently played a bit of a MGS Phantom Pain and it's pretty darned good. Give that a go :) 

MGS5 is fucking fantastic. It was my first MGS game too :)

Not tried Revengeance 

Yeah I think the last 2 MG Solid games are quite different to that MS Revengeance game. They look much better, open world stealth games. Opposite to fast hack n slash. 

I would like to know what you guys think of Skyrim, which looks pretty "quaky" in some aspects.

What are your appreciations of that game ?

Anyone here played Skyrim ? 

never heard of it. 

It's great. The main quest story, voice acting, depth of the world, sound design music etc. It's just wonderful and AAA. There are glitches to be sure but this can be forgiven in considering the ambition of the game. I am more of a FPS fan and mainly a casual gamer but Skyrim is a masterpiece and in a class all by itself and really sucked me in. And you can play it for well over 50 hours and not even scratch the surface of what is available to do in the world let alone mods etc.

In my household Skyrim was sort of a family affair. My wife is not a gamer at all but she loves the music and storyline and watched us play for hours.

In short - holy shit just talking about it I want to go home and play it immediately. 

Now with...stickers? 

I put about 50 hours into it myself and got basically nowhere

Skyrim is the kind of game you can sit there playing 10 hours straight for a day, and before you go to bed you look over your quests list and realise you've really done fuck all the entire day. Somehow time goes fast playing that game. It's a must play but you'll need 40-70 hours.

Check the Skyrim thread on here, you've got to install the correct mods for a better experience. I made some relevant posts about a month ago on that thread. Enderal is also a must play.
