Yeah, one of the best for sure but not the best. Honestly, if you ask me there isn't a "best". Most of their games are great or amazing but I would not be able to pick one as the best. I don't know how anyone would capable of. They are all great experiences but in a different way.
@Papa_Godzilla I did not play the game but from gameplays I saw I concluded this. Final fantasy 7 was great and I really wanted to try Core but... Maybe I've been spoiled too much by high quality games.
@NinjaNicky yeah, destructible walls would be good but if you can destroy a wall with an LMG or a frag then a cruise missle should absolutely destroy the entire building because you know.. umm.. yeah.. it can. In my opinion destroyable enviromental assets can only be implemented if the fight is takint place inside a bulding only or if killstreaks are completly removed. It was weird in Vangurad that I could shoot a door to pieces with a sidearm but my guided bomb didn't even scratch the rooftop.
@NinjaNicky "They could have just added the maps to MW2" with that part I agree. They shouldn't have reworked the whole thing and released a separate game named MW3. But you have to understand that creating dozens of new maps, modelling new guns and operators is costs HUGE amount of money. Not to mention a new campaign, including the actors salary (even if it just 7-8 hours long). One of my friends is working as a 3D artist here in Hungary. The studio he's working at was involved creating assests for Vanguard. I'm a software developer myself (web and android, not games tho). We had countless chats about making a videogame. It's hard and heavily time consuming.
I guess they renamed the DLC to MW3 for this exact reason. They invested millions making it but for a "DLC" they can't charge $70. If they do so, people would rage: "$70 for a DLC?!?! Kidding me?!?". Personally I would understand this pricetag since I know how much work has been done but 90% of the players wouldn't.
As for the destructive maps... well, imagine an average COD map leveled to the ground by killstreaks, RPGs and frags. They are just too small. Players would see each other from spawn points after 2-3 minutes.
@NinjaNicky well.. technically almost every multiplayer fps is "the same game" with different settings and graphical styles. You shoot a gun/bow or swing a sword/hammer/bat/ect. As @Constable_What said, no one should feel ashamed because buying a game they like. I'm not buying a brand, I tried many fps along the way but right now if it comes to multiplayer I only play COD (the mw series in particular). I'm not liking the brand, I'm liking the gameplay, the mil-sim feel they created.
@AFCC I redeemed some of my ps stars points and I pre-ordered it for ~ 15 USD (my currency is HUF). I know it sounds strange but I actually like playing cod titles. I know it's the same thing every year but I find them fun. Save my soul.
I started Alan Wake 2 yesterday so I will keep playing it all weekend. I'm one chatper in and I have to say it's just amazing. Disgusting in some cases but amazing.
Awesome news! It's a pity that I can't try it out today because in my region (Hungary) it will be unlocked at 6 AM, not midnight like most of the releases.
Remedy is one of the few game developers I haven't been disappointed in yet, so I don't care that Alan Wake 2 is digital only. I bought it and preloading as we speak. If you really want to play it, I don't think not having a physical version would be a problem. You can always buy it later on a sale if the full price is the issue.
They are playing this smart. In my opinion, this was intentionally developed low-quality. Many people will buy it for this exact reason because they've heard how bad it is and they want to experience it for themselves. I think this is pretty brilliant for making easy money.
I plan to play Spider man right after Alan Wake 2 but I might just squeeze in cod mw3 campaign for some short fun. For me AW2 is the most anticipated game of the year.
@KillerBoy I do, yes. I play COD regularly between big launches like spider man or Alan wake. I know it's basically the same stuff every year but I'm having fun with it (and that's the point, is it not?). It's like billiard. The map (table) is always the same, the game modes always the same but it's still fun after the 4000th times because I find it fun. Don't call a game trash just because it's not your thing. Personally I don't like Fortnite at all but I don't say it's trash because it's clearly a polished, well made game (just like COD) and millions having fun playing it. We are not the same.
I'm planning on playing Alan Wake 2 first since it's the spooky season after all so Spider Man 2 will have to wait. I don't like playing two or more story focused games at the same time. I just hope I won't run into any spoilers till I finally get to play it...
The reviews and the gameplays I saw did not convince me at all. It's like a McDonald's cheeseburger. The quality is let's say Ok, the price tag is also Ok but I had it so many times that I just do not want it anymore except when I'm drunk. Anyways, I'm still playing lies of p and I'm looking forward to spiderman and Alan wake so... maybe when it's half the price.
I don't know, I feel uncomfortable just by looking at the screenshots. I love horror styled games like Alan Wake or the resident evil series but this one looks way too much. I'll pass.
Since I buy every game I find interesting day one (Alan wake, spider man ect), for me ps plus is mainly just for the multiplayer. But there are many games I want to try but would never spend a penny on them. Since I do not have a backlog to finish I will give them a go but I'm pretty sure these playruns will be quite short ones. Generation zero is just looks so bad that I must punish myself with playing it half an hour.
I would like to play at least 5 games this year but in a story-driven game I always find myself check every corner to see what's up. When they say it takes about 20 hours to beat them, in my case it's 30 hrs at least (and I'm not talking about platinuming the game, just wondering around at my own pace). I will start with Mirage, then lord of the fallen, spider man and so on.. Considering my speed with the limited time I get to play games when I finally grab Alan wake it will be late December. Of course I will not buy/preorder a new game till I finished the previous one, it doesn't make sense to do so.
I bought on day 1 but just finished final fantasy 16 since I have little time gaming and I don't like rushing through a game. Since I'd like to play ac mirage, Alan wake 2 and not to mention several other games upcoming in August and September, when I get to play spider man a whole year will pass but at least there are bunch of good releases this year. In last year I played only 3 games.
They should move on from their previous IPs, that's obvious. I can imagine some soft sci-fi or an Alan Wake style story game. I'm not really into fantasy games but knowing the quality of their products, that could go too.
I can enjoy both if the story is good, but I just can't push myself to play a game if I don't find the story interesting enough. I even found myself abandoning games with good gameplay but with boring stories and bad actings.
I like to look in every corner, explore, find hidden stuffs and lore, figure out puzzles, complete challenges but I just hate grinding. I will buy and play the game but will pass on the plat.
I've played the whole ME trilogy serveral times on PC back in the days so i'll pass this time. I wanted to try Biomutant when it released but after some gameplay footage I convinced myself that it is not a game for me. Now that it's free maybe I'll give it a shot
@Deformedpye aggreed. The remastered was the very first game I played on PS4. I had the spare money so I pre-ordered it. No one forced me. I want to play it now, not a year later. That's it. Case closed.
