  5. Tomb Raider

    This game is really good. I'm In this ship graveyard area at the moment and its gaming bliss. This game is really really good. All the context sensitive animations are amazing and work really well, where as drake in uncharted 3 just seemed a bit drunk, this game has surpassed uncharted for me in the action and set piece stakes, I can see the next uncharted game stealing a lot from Lara especially the auto cover. Everyone should play this game! This last third now that I'm all tooled up has been super smashing great. Destructible cover! Great The game isn't necessarily easy, I've died a few time during large enemy encounters. one thing the game does is if you die during a large enemy encounter they will half the enemies you have to fight. Which takes away the frustration of dying multiple times, but whenever I die I want to conquer the challenge that thwarted me. So in two minds about at the moment, This type of stuff should be customisable in the options.
  6. PAX East 2013

    In future, whilst attending any one of the proper video games conferences, if you happen to witness someone sat in the back row gently weeping and muttering to themselves "what have I done" whilst staring down at their open palms. Probably toblix
  7. The Walking Dead Season 2: Zalking Dead

    Winner winner chicken dinner! Only one thing I'd change, he deaf dog gets attacked theme by theme park clown zombie (moaning brains) and has to have its leg amputated. And what do they use as a prosthetic leg...? The shotgun! Making the dog your faithful companion and weapon of choice. (The dog should be a pug)(I can already imagine a little pug in the walking dead art style, sooooo cuuuuute) I hope there's less adventure gamey stuff and more self contained puzzles. I really liked the mouse trap style puzzle at the end of episode 5. The worse part of the whole of season 1 for me was getting that train working. not knowing what you needed to do, not knowing what items you may need, slowly walking backwards and forwards through each screen in case you missed anything, talking to each character multipul times. No thanks. (Wait, I just described all adventure games )
  8. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

    I quit Asura's wrath the sound mixing was horrendous. I turned the subtitles off because I find them hugely distracting and because I don't have a problem with my hearing. Couldn't hear half of what people were saying during the cutscenes... Of which their are billions. My favourites were the trailers for each chapter depicting the most interesting moments of gameplay you haven't experienced yet, thanks asura! Now I don't need to play your game! The whackiness in revengance and asura are the best thing thye have going for them. It's just a lot of the other design decisions that don't sit with me.
  9. Assassin's Creed: Buccaneer

    "the protagonist is YOU. That’s right, the frame story of this Assassin’s Creed is no longer that of a bland, hoodied bartender but of you, sitting right there, YOU. “We are now in the present day,” said Ubisoft, smiling postmoderningly. “You will be the hero of the game, working for Abstergo Entertainment.” Was some of the present day stuff in AC1 in first person? I think I remember it was. That would be a good way to treat the present day stuff in this game. Make you some faceless abstergo worker who's a distant relation to Desmond (I'd imagine a pirate capt would father a lot of children) maybe not having any loyalties to Templars or assassins and just working for money. And maybe your present day missions could involve hunting down and killing Danny Wallace and the rest of the assassin crew, that would be fun
  10. Assassin's Creed: Buccaneer

    I think I'm probably being to harsh on this game after quitting AC3, I've forgotten how much I loved 2 and brotherhood. Hopefully it'll be a return to form. I should wait and pick up the next gen version whenever those consoles come out, it's been confirmed for the ps4 Ultimately I really just want to murder some whales in super HD They'll hopefully have a really robust ship upgrade system, much like the village you restored in AC2. I'd love to be able to walk around my ship and see all the new pirates I've recruited first hand swabbing the deck, and seeing all the upgrades I make actually making a noticeable difference to how the ship looks. I bought a load of upgrades for the ship in AC3, did they actually change how the ship looked? I didn't notice. I'd love it if this game didn't have any of the animus stuff, no Danny Wallace talking shit, lose all the running around in a white room whilst the game loads. Just set it in history and let that be that. It can keep all the ancient alien bollocks, I like that stuff, finding an ancient alien tomb wasn't treasure hunting would be fun, maybe just leave it till right at the end of the game. It's a shame that this game has to have anything to do with the AC franchise

    A Stan cameo would be fantastic

  13. Tomb Raider

    I must be nearing the end of this now, probably a few hours left. I'm enjoying it. It's very linear and very video gamey, which I quite like, im not wishing its any different. i think there's definitely a place for these big budget scripted games, where you're not 'having' an adventure your playing someones elses pre written adventure. just had an entire hour of explosions which made my brain hurt so I had turn it off. I thought the game was going to give me dual pistols, which would have been amazing! But alas. No. it hinted at it slightly, it would have been such an awesome thing to do, the origin of the 'dual wield'' I'm spending most of the time playing this thinking about how awesome the sequel will be when we actually get to go raid some fucking tombs. And how incredible awesome a soul reaver reboot will be in this game engine. Dark souls needs to take a very close look at this game, some of the environments and especially the weather effects would sit perfectly in that game.

    I finished watching it a couple of nights ago, I really enjoyed it. I think he knows his plans involving a lot of luck and a gamble, and every now an then the gambl doesn't pay off like when my only wish is that they didn't bring

  17. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

    My god is this game a hot mess. I'm not really enjoying it, I just wish it was over now. Finished. That was a load of balls, if I had payed money or this game I would've been mightily upset. Some nice ideas surrounded by garbage, the game just tries to do to much and fails almost all of it. Every heard of editing?

  22. Assassin's Creed: Mohawk

    Yay! More gun play (sarcasm) when pirate bro holstered his 4 pistols I decided to never play this game. Actually that's a lie I swore never to play this shit again when I quit AC3. FYI Watchdogs is going to be dog shit to
