I absolutely loved the Division. Played about 6-8 hours of the beta and loved it too. It did feel like a very well polished expansion pack to me, but that is not a bad thing. I wasn't expecting an entirely new experience. I was anticipating, and the demo confirmed, that I will get the same value that I got out of the Division. Money well spent IMHO.
so wait, does this mean you can only begin playing at the indicated time?? How ling does the window remain open?? 5am on Friday is not going to happen and 10pm isn't horrible if I can at least get a couple of hours in. Sunday is the most reasonable opportunity for me. Seems odd.
So refreshing to read the comments on this site vs, say IGN. I actually think the game looks very nice as well. Some of the locations are drop-dead (pun intended) gorgeous!! I am just hoping that it doesn't play TOO much like State of Emergency where you are always so overwhelmed with masses and masses of enemies that you can't stop to look around and enjoy the scenery every now and then. This trailer does give you the feeling that there may be a few of these opportunities. Time will tell.
I think I am seriously playing Dragon's Crown wrong!! I bought it for my Vita because it was getting great reviews and people seemed to be enjoying it. But I just don't enjoy it!!
Every time I re-install it and try to give it a go I literally have no idea what I am doing anymore!! Would give anything to restart or at least replay some tutorials!!
It's amazing that I know more people who haven't played it than have!! It's such a GREAT game. I jumped on it late myself and it turned out to be one of my all-time favorites!!
So, is it considered a sickness to have, and more importantly want, more games than you physically have time to play?? I literally have the time to get through maybe 3-4 really good games per year (ie. Horizon, Witcher, etc.). Add to that, that I literally have 6 or 7 games that are on my bookshelf waiting to be played (ie. Last Guardian, FFXIV, Resident Evil, etc.) and I read this list and could easily see picking up at least 8-10 game on this list!!
Well, isn't the first step admitting that I have a problem?? GULP!
My son, who just moved out on his own, and I both bought copies to play together! So, hopefully, we'll be playing a lot this weekend ... If he can stand some more "Dad" time!!
I agree with you. I tried the opening mission a couple of times and it took so long and was so boring that I gave up. I really should give it another go as I have heard good things about the open world. Just have to finish Horizon and it's expansion first!!
@R1spam
I hesitate recommending very many games as tastes are so varied but, Journey would be an exception. It is more of an experience than a game in my opinion. It is very simple and can be completed in a few hours but is something you will never forget. I can't imagine owning a system that doesn't have a copy of it installed, long into the future. I feel that the soundtrack alone is worth whatever you would pay for it!
@NathanUC I must be the only person who thinks Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, and Journey were just good, not great.....
Sadly these are probably my top 3 games of all-time! Followed closely by the Witcher 3. But I may be a sheep! I have 14 of the 20 games on this list and it looks like Inside needs to be one of my next purchases. Don't know how I let that one slip by me?
@BAMozzy What he said!! Honestly, I agree with this post 100%. Aside from the fact that I have completed the main story and let Horizon get in my way of getting the platinum. NG+ would be a welcomed addition!
It is easy to avoid the Philoctetes (sp?) early on and come back when you are higher level (30+) to dispatch them ... Well worth it too!!
I bought Horizon at launch and never got past the intro mission for whatever reason and didn't pick it up again until this past Christmas break. I loaded it back up after completing Assasins Creed Origins looking for something to do. Man, am I disappointed in myself for not giving it a go sooner!! Easily one of my favorite games of all time, let alone 2017!! I put Neir as my #2 and ACO as a distant #3.
SOMA, please! I always tend to forget to pick it up when it goes on sale and it hasn't been reduced in the current holiday sale(s)!! One can hope ... Right?
I LOVE both Drake and Marston ... It was sad that they had to meet so early, especially considering he could have gone much further in another bracket. Had to go with Drake though. Too many good times spent over the years, games and systems not to give him the nod. RIP John!
So glad they added enemy scaling!! Just beat the story on Sunday and am in the process of going back and mopping up the side missions I bypassed and was wishing they were more of a challenge!! This will make going back worthwhile!!
The US Bank stadium is pretty amazing! A true site to behold!!
I am just excited for a reason to go to London, even if their opponent is the Browns!! We have pretty decent seats ... I hope!!?? Plan on staying for a week in total to take in the sites!! Any recommendations?
Still going to pick this up eventually. Might just have to wait until it hits the bargain bin though. Most of the feedback out there is mediocre at best. Makes me sad because this was one that I REALLY wanted to pick up. But my backlog is a bit too long at the moment to warrant picking it up at launch!
I was actually really looking forward to this game, but all the negative press has me a little worried now. I think I will hold out a few weeks for the inevitable price drop before giving it a go!!
1. Everybody's Golf
2. Dynasty Warriors 9
3. Agents of Mayhem (I may be one of the few who has this listed ... But I can't help it)
4. Assassin's Creed
Last entry was SW4 ... Which I still play from time to time. I know Warriors games get a bad wrap for being repetitive and pretty much the same year after year, but I still love them!!
Trying to find a way to send them my money now! This is the first warriors title in quite a while that has gotten me so amped up!! Trailer looks impressive!
Man ... I know it's only $5 difference but $9.99 would have been a no brainer for me. I just can't justify spending $15 more on a game that I have played to death, just to do it again with another class! Now throw in a dynamic theme and I might have considered it!
My first thought was for Agents of Mayhem, believe it or not, but it wasn't included. So I opted for God of War, Shadow of the Colossus and Everybody's Golf!
