kona, just review the one you think that are good or unique.
Well, Let's Not Ignore The Crap

A review of a really bad game is just as useful as one of a good game. Maybe even better. It helps me to avoid wasting money.

Yes, but then Kona has to buy and play shit games just so you can avoid them. Sounds like a great deal for Kona. :)
Well
#7591 posted by Rick on 2014/07/13 15:44:04
I was kind of assuming the game was already purchased. I wouldn't waste much time on reviewing a bad game either. Just say "this one sucked, move along".
#7592 posted by [Kona] on 2014/07/14 06:19:33
Yeah I could just do the ones that I think are really underrated. The hidden gems.
Buy over 60 games in 1 year? Screw that, I only buy the good ones, or the big ones like rpgs unless steam has a good deal going. The shit ones I torrent anyway, most of them just aren't worth the money they ask, even 5 years after release the publishers still think they're worth $20+. Nope. Sorry Willem I know you hate pirating hehe.

Games have gotten pretty bad in recent years, at least from my perspective. So I tend to rely on Steam specials a lot also. I think the most I've paid for a game in the last 3 years was $20 for Tomb Raider 2013 (might have been $25).
I don't like much of what's been released lately so I just stick with old favorites and only try newer stuff when it's cheap enough that I don't worry about wasting the money if I end up not liking it enough to play (like Batman).

It's actually quite good to be a few years behind and not playing a game on release. Gives it time for mods to come out, patches to fix shit, and the price to come down. I've never paid full brand new retail price for a game.
Anyway this weekend I played:
The Ball - 6.5/10. Looks great but puzzles get boring really quick. Decided not to finish it even.
Medal of Honor - 8/10. Pretty good, nice realistic setting, good combat. I miss FPS's. Short though at only about 6 hrs.

It's A Good Game

Dishonored is worth it just for the chance to study how when you make a game focused on gameplay and giving the player gameplay options, it turns out to be bloody good fun.
Dishonoured Was Excellent

Extremely fun combat, plenty of options, many non-linear missions, lots of exploration and an engaging story. Was way better than Bioshock Infinite, though it felt that there was more spooging over that game.

That guy has some great reviews. I watched about a dozen last night and found that I generally agreed with him about everything. It's nice to find good reviews about older games.
I was thinkng to buy the new Thief game, then I watched his review.
In the end it all just falls on it's ass, and it's a damn shame.
Guess I'll wait until it's a $4.99 special on Steam.

Just started playing... it's odd to get used to, but is growing on me. A measured dodge and attack combat system that I don't yet understand, plus a whole load of differing mechanics that feel well amalgamated into a whole.

It's $15USD on steam right now. I missed the sale.

Two Worlds II (2010) 8.5
Only a 65% aggregate, wtf?! This is a solid 8 minimum imo. Great RPG, awesome depth with the weapon upgrade combinations and spell making. Decent story and graphics. The main game was about 15 hours for me, but then add in the huge DLC and it's another 5-10 hours. Gotta get the velvet edition so you get both.
Mass Effect 2 was certainly the best action RPG of 2010, but Two Worlds II was next, ahead of Awakenings, then Gothic 4, Alpha Protocol, and Venetica. I'm still to play New Vegas though so that might steal the #3 spot.
Global Ops: Commando Libya (2011) 5.0
UE3 but really budget and pretty shit.
The Cursed Crusade (2011) 4.5
Starts off fucking horribly with an insane amount of cutscenes, but most of the game is actually pretty decent. Sadly it goes on a few hours too long with the linear level never realy changing much and gets shit again by the end. Oh and it suddenly ends as if they ran out of money. No boss, no conclusion to the story. It just ends out of nowhere.
I don't plan to review these on my site.
#7610 posted by [Kona] on 2014/07/25 06:42:10
I might play Risen1 soon. I was going to skip it because it sounds too difficult, but maybe I'll try it. I'll just have to grind hardout and play on easy. Anyone here like or dislike it?
#7611 posted by [Kona] on 2014/07/25 07:09:18
Actually Angry Joe gives is a 3/10, and besides that it looks absolutely shit in the videos. Guess I'll skip it still.
Say What
#7612 posted by negke on 2014/07/25 09:32:11
Only a complete bellend would rate Risen 3/10. It's definitely a great game, look above in this thread to see what we wrote about it. Better than TW2 imo. When I first played it, it pretty much felt like a "Gothic II with better graphics" (although some aspects have devolved as well). I would give it at least 8/10. At the very least, you should give it a try for a couple of hours and decide then.
