Oh, I been playing:
And I began fucking with Sunset Overdrive. Made a nice pale Irish looking girl with a nice chunky ass for my character, and I have her going it almost naked. The game seems to play well and the visuals are super colorful. Only like an hour into it.
I give you Sonic Boom. Watch this, seriously.
The cry baby shit over Halo 5 having aiming down sights is ridiculous. Welcome to modern FPSs Halo.
A Battletoads revival? Hmm, very interesting.
Bitching, pissing, and moaning about everything has been the 'in' thing to do for awhile now.
How the fuck can they keep screwing Sonic up so badly?! And it's only on one platform! I had hoped having a new dev make Sonic that it would somehow be better than Sonic Teams shitty efforts. I should have known better. *Goes back to playing Sonic Rush ... again*
Not really. The only thing Halo has going for it is its mechanics.
Get that muthafucking COD bullshit out of Halo, muthafuckers!
Irrespective of Halo, I've hated aiming sights since Medal of Honor. Just because everyone jumped from copying Halo to copying Call of Duty doesn't mean the mechanic is a positive.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobilePlays better to me, so its a positive. Unless you are doom and the point is to shoot and move non stop against giant monsters with no weak spots.
Damn you Nintendo. DAMN YOU!!!!
That's FPS to me, including Halo

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileSonic has clearly just found a hidden bonus level, expertly designed. I don't see the problem.
ACU getting trashed. Mostly 7s but sounds worse than that. It is a technical nightmare. Gameplay is the best in the series, everything around it is crap it seems.
'K. So Inquisition is good so far. I'm wondering how Far Cry will turn out. **I'd like to play it if it isn't starring a bunch of douches this time!** I am also curious about the port of GTA V to PS4. I'm hoping it's not a quickie job and they've been working on it all along in secrecy. November 18th is turning out to be interesting indeed! Then Smash 3 days later... Wow!
Have you not seen the info and trailer for GTAV. It puts AC and so many games released this year to shame. All new FPS mode. GTAV is the real deal.
You are forgetting one game from the list. MEH!!!!!!

8 Concerning Things I Experienced in Assassin's Creed Unity
November 11, 2014 by JDavisIGN
If Assassin’s Creed Unity represents the future direction of AAA video games, I seriously question the future health and legitimacy of this industry.
These are 8 real things I experienced within Assassin’s Creed Unity’s first 2-3 hours:
I tried to open a treasure chest, but was told I needed the Assassin’s Creed companion app to open it, with no additional information or context.
I tried to open another treasure chest, and was told I needed to sign up for Assassin’s Creed Initiates to open it.
I tried to open a third treasure chest, and was told I needed to upgrade Arno’s lockpicking skill.
I upgraded Arno’s lockpicking skill, and was told my skill level still wasn’t high enough to open that chest. I gave up.
When I paused the game, the second option in the pause menu is an eStore that lets you spend real money on time-saving boosts, bonus in-game currency, and so-on.
I saw a woman floating through the air.
I heard the same line of dialogue 5 times during an early-game chase mission.
I experienced my character flip all around on the side of a building instead of climb through the window like I wanted.
None of the above includes subjective elements I found troublesome, including confusing and uninteresting “modern day” moments, trial and error mission design, and soulless NPCs.
Assassin's Creed Unity - Video Review
05:39
This is a $60 video game set in revolutionary Paris that continually spams you to sign up for Ubisoft services via locked-away in-game content. This is a $60 video game that paces out unlockables and upgrades at the exact speed that Ubisoft wanted, but then offers to sell you “time savers.”
With all of this in mind, I still don’t necessarily disagree with Marty’s positive review. Unity’s vision of Paris is very impressive. Its story is interesting - I’m enjoying the game’s central intrigue. Plenty of the side missions are satisfying, especially the murder mysteries. My personal score would be lower, but the game has its merits.
But all the issues I outlined above are more than just disappointing - they’re dangerous. They’re undermining. As someone that truly loves the video game medium, they’re downright scary.
Master Chief Collection’s matchmaking is broken, and multiplayer requires a huge day one patch. Titanfall is dead. The PS4’s 2.0 firmware update continues to cause major problems. The days of going to a midnight launch event and coming home to experience pure launch day gaming bliss seem to be over.
I completely understand the need to up revenue per user above $60 for big-budget AAA games. This is a tough business to be in. But it has to be done in a way that doesn’t compromise the integrity of your gameplay, and doesn’t test the patience of your players. If you’re a game developer, and you care about the long term health and sustainability of this business, please do what you can to ensure we’re not creating the darkest timeline.
