Games you're waiting for

It is strange to see someone praise it after all the hate it got when it was first released and to this day.

I liked how each team was set up to remind you a little bit or Resident Evil 1 through 3 and yes it is so action oriented that it isn't too creepy anymore but I still loved it.

Sherry's campaign was kind of lackluster though. Just kind of middle-of-the-road and uninspired. But still fun. Leon's campaign was ace though, with a sort of middle ground between old and new school RE, and Chris' was just hella fun 3rd person COD that was far superior to COD.

Sherry's campaign was homage to RE 3 with that big monster popping out all the time like Nemesis

Leon's was pretty much RE 2

Chris's touched on RE 1 in certain areas but all of the outside stuff not so much. It did come off like a gears of war game but I loved them for doing it within the RE universe.

Hate to double post but these games need some recognition.

Spoiler for Four Trailers:

I would put the death stranding trailer but JTF posted it in the other thread.

Who the **** plays Warframe though? I tried it once or twice just to see what it was but meh, it wasn't for me.

Spoiler for Four more including Shovel Knight:

I never played Shovel Knight but it is definitely on my to do list.

Spoiler for Dead Rising 4:

Not a fan of Dead Rising but then again I haven't played it much. It's on ShitBox One.

Spoiler for Some Halo Garbage:

I recognize how important/popular Halo is but just never cared enough about the game to pick up a Xbox and play it.

Spoiler for More TellTale Beauty:

I feel like I'm a bit behind on the Walking Dead telltale series. I need to catch up before this comes out.

Spoiler for Mass Effect thing:

Calling all Mass Effect fans. What do you think? Another great series I haven't played yet but will one day.

Mass Effect and Halo are both the ****. The difference is Mass Effect consistently seems to get better with each game (although for me personally 2 vs 3 is a toss-up as both games were AMAZING) whereas Halo hasn't been the same since 3. I liked Halo Reach a bit, 4 was a let down, and 5... well, just **** 5.

I played the first two Deadrising games and they were below average. It's fun to run around and kill zombies for awhile, but it lacked any sort of engaging storyline or real reward for completing missions. I spent way more time destroying random zombies than actually trying to beat the game.

As a connoisseur of the ME trilogy who has played all three games back-to-back-to-back multiple times then I have to somewhat disagree with you there. 1 had the worst gameplay, and the exploration element could get tedious if you're a completionist like me, but it was the only game that let you actually feel like you were exploring a galaxy and had easily the best-paced and most consistent storyline.

2 was the best gameplay-wise and had the best crew, but the reveal of the Reapers' plan almost ruined them the concept was so lame, and I don't think the game was ever as good as it was before you left Omega. EA definitely spent too much time and effort on the beginning at the expense of the pacing of the rest of the game. I'd give 2 the edge, but it also brought a lot of EA baggage.

3 was great the first time I played it, not as good the second time, getting boring the third time, and now I only play it cause I just finished 2 and I have no other option as an ME freak. A lot of loose ends were tied up satisfactorily but the ending did for the series what the ending of 2 did for the Reapers. Just awful. But more than that is the unbalanced character classes that pretty much make playing the game with any class other than Soldier feel wrong, especially if you're bringing over a maxed out character from 2. A Vanguard can literally spam Charge throughout the entire game and die only five times, unless you just get bored and start playing around with weird character builds. Infiltrator is almost the same story, just not as monotonous. 3 just doesn't have much depth as a game.

And since EA still owns Mass Effect I don't see much changing, so I imagine 4 is going to be fun, maybe even somewhat of a return to form simply because improved hardware will allow them to reintroduce exploration without sacrificing other things, but the EA toilet does not flow upwards.

tl;dr you're a ****ing nerd

The Batlord · 12-04-2016, 12:57 PM

It's okay if you have **** taste in Mass Effect.

"the exploration element could get tedious if you're a completionist like me"

This guy...

Your pompous ass is wrong batlord. ME1 is the best one with the best customization system. ME1 felt like an rpg. ME2 is a stripped down shooter version of ME1 with admittedly better combat but that's about it.
