Thx Scarecrow I didn't know about that! Pretty sure I own Blops2, I'll look for it when I get home.
mad max game looks like poop next to the last movie... weak ass explosions and melee combat with people standing around and watching waiting for their turn.
graphics are too boring and ugly. mad max doesn't look like bane and doesn't look like mel. NNNNNNNNNEXT!!!! Today I knew Micha�l and Auriea, the devs of The Path, a hipnotic and strange game I enjoyed few years ago,
https://twitter.com/taleoftales Only now I knew their last game, Sunset. I want it. Viking: Battle for Asgard 5/10.
Fucking shit, I ragequit. Even with godmode and 1-hit kills on, I couldn't even hit anything or move because so many enemies were on screen hitting me at once interrupting my swings. I can't even block because it just goes into a constant blocking sequence. Eventually they'd all just whack me off a cliff. Infinitely spawning, of course. Complete utter shit. Nice idea and open areas for 2008 though. Transformers: Fall of Cybertron 8/10. High Moon certainly know how to make a good Transformers game. Their 2010 one was surprising great, their 2012 game is just as good. It's not a surprise they were brought in to help with COD and Destiny, they pull off some awesome set pieces and action sequences, and do sci-fi visual detail like not many other developers can. Chapter 3 where you're controlling the skyscraper sized Metroplex is one of those holy shit moments in gaming. Only problems are it's linearity, lack of keyboard reconfig and the story is all over the place as they try to get in as many playable characters as they can. Being a movie franchise game that usually has pretty shit titles probably didn't help the marketing. didn't realize this was coming out in Sept.
I hope the player character vo that was in the first trailer was simply for the trailer and wont be present in the game :/ I'm really looking forward to Routine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qj8g-bG_5c
Giants 2 anyone?? Presumably the pre-2000 graphics and detailing will be fixed. Giants was pretty damn fun, maybe this could work.... With the exception of quake map jams and the game I contracted on earlier this year, I have yet to purchase or play any game at all in 2015.
But I'm kind of intrigued by Dropsy. 2015 wasn't a good year for games, at least for me. I think the only games I bought that cost over $5 were Wolfenstein and Shadowrun Hong Kong, both of which I enjoyed.
I did buy a handful of older games from GOG that I'd been wanting to try, but couldn't really get interested in most of them. None were more than $3, so no problem. I sure hope Fallout 4 saves the year for me. Just the Steam games I've played and enjoyed this from this year:
Snakebird Axiom Verge Ori and The Blind Forest 868-HACK Crypt of the NecroDancer Cities: Skylines Kalimba Still Early Access, but own: Darkest Dungeon Besiege Not 2015, but I played them a lot this year: Hexcells Infinite Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (expansion in Oct!) Broken Age (The second half came out this year) Nuclear Throne (Early Access) Path of Exile (Got an expansion this year) (that's saying nothing of the tons of crazy amazing tiny/smaller games on itch.io or that have been made in game jams this year.)
And as far as big AAA games, I haven't played many this year, but the Witcher 3 was awesome.
Sure, all of the above, but I was commenting more on my slow disconnection from gaming, not on what 2015 has been like.
Because nothing comes out in the last quarter of the year.
I've been enjoying Blizzard's continued series of Diablo 3 patches, which I call "Oh God, Oh God, We're Sorry, You Were Right, We Were Wrong, Forget About Jay Wilson, He Can't Hurt You Anymore". Still nowhere near the original Diablo, but it's a lot more fun of a slashy action game than before.
