Gaming Opinions

[Vu1canF0rce]

I don't usually post in GT because I never have anything on my mind but this came to mind when I was going thru some of my games and ordering new ones. I'm curious to see what the PB community thinks. Comment on as many of the games you have played via trial/demo or the full game.

Here's a few questions to kickstart the topic and sample game images (query: "2014 console games") from Google above:

• What are your thoughts on any of these?
  
  
• Any specifics as far as being better, worse, or the same on across consoles?
  
• Do you prefer the disc or cloud games?
  
  
• Which games are you anticipating DLC content for?
  
  
• What game(s) are you looking forward to playing that are not out yet?

I would, however, like to get some direct opinions from my peers here on Destiny. I downloaded the demo when it first came out (in Beta, not Alpha) on XBL and have loved it and reached the level-7 demo cap. I already got myself a copy for dirt cheap on black friday (yes, I buy for myself lol) but have read so many negative reviews and the climax summary would be that it's vanilla and grinding for seemingly little reward. I, however, think there are a bunch of folks who do like those kind of games and don't mind this but it seems the overwhelming majority are folks who are opposed. I'm looking forward to killing some time on the game and hitting the level-30 cap (so they call it).


Looking forward to your responses!

I'll make an official reply for more of my own comments.


I already have all of the Halo games so I'm not sure that there's too much they can make the MC Collection do better but overall they are great games but I've lost the will to buy and play new ones as it's really the same dynamics each time round just modified controller mechanics and nicer skinning (I know, oversimplification). I'm still debating on getting Titanfall before end of Cyber Monday. My wife will only play the LEGO series and we have almost every one of them and play them regularly (HP years 1-4 is the only one that's 100% buggy and cannot play it).

If you're a south park fan the stick of truth was great it's like interacting with a south park episode, the graphics were exactly like the tv shows and voice acting. Far cry 4 of course is a great one too.

Advanced Warfare is all I've played out of all those games. Lol.

Halo TMCC has disappointed me so much. Not because of the games, because I knew exactly what I was getting there, and Halo 2 Anniversary is very pretty, but because of the bugs. I love the whole Halo universe that much (books etc as well) that usually I'd defend 343, but they basically released a game that doesn't work. I play coop with my husband, and as player 2 I'm not scoring at all. Neither of us got an achievement for completely one mission. Multiplayer has been a disaster for them. It will be a really good game, once they've finished it,

Titanfall I like, a lot. If you want plot and substance, it's not for you, but if you like killing things with a giant robot, it's great fun. I'm not even that good at it, at all, but I don't care.

I've only briefly played Destiny. I'm not really hooked, but I haven't given it much chance yet.

It seems most recent games have been far to buggy and wont work. Unity, watch dogs, and Halo Master chief, and another one but it slipped my mind.

That's why sometimes I normally get games way later on because of patches. Advanced Warfare is buggy, and I've seen 2 updates thus far. But nothing fixing those big issues! In one map you can get into a wall and sit there and kill people. The other map you can get on top of a building and just go on a sniping spree, which I've gotten on top of and have taken advantage of. Haha.

Only game I see worth playing is Mario Kart 8 and Donkey Kong Country - Tropical Freeze. Maybe Hyrule Warriors and Toad's Treasure Tracker. I've heard great things about South Park - The Stick of Truth.

That's a bummer with the MCC. I have the individual games, as most people probably do, and saw that this would be a waste of money in all efforts (I'm practical driven, so getting the exact same games with [seemingly] minor changes is a dumb idea financially). Hopefully they'll fix the issues for everyone who has the MCC.

I agree and disagree, say 80/20 on this. Agree because most of your larger studios can afford to fix these issues due to just their shear size and having lots of $$$. I also disagree, take Traveller’s Tales, aka TT Games, who made/make all of the LEGO video games. Several of their games are ridden with bugs and some of them have been out for many years with no patches at all, but a minute few of them have had patches come out and caused something else to go wrong (granted this can happen with any programming situation). IDK, it's annoying with these guys b/c I have several games just sitting there that are impossible to play and I'm dumb enough to keep buying the games b/c they're the only ones my wife will play on the console with me (she's not into the "war games" as she calls 'em lol). TT Games seems to be a moderately-sized company and could patch things right if they slowed down and just did it.

Valiant Hearts was the best game I played this year, it was terrific.

Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls, World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor, Mario Kart 8, The Banner Saga, and The Walking Dead: Season 2 are all runner ups.

Still need to finish The Wolf Among Us, which should end up being thrown into the runner up mix as well.
