Microsoft announcing their studio acquisitions, raises the competetive level a notch across the bar (meaning for Sony, this’ll help them not getting lazy, from their huge lead this gen, and keep them on their toes).
Telltale shutting down sucks, had really hoped to play a second season of the wolf among us, but I guess I can forget about that now:/
CD Project Red definitely, their support of The Witcher 3 was and is something else.
Definitely Bethesda. Doubt explanatiom is needed.
Ashley Johnson as Ellie.
Robin Atkin Downes (just to mention one og them from that horrible game I guess..) from Bound by Flame.
Someone else already called it, but I feel the games of Oles Shishkovstov and Alexander Maximchuk have been massively underrated. The Metro series’s such a great story, setting, charecters and gameplay. Definitely up there anomg my linear story driven fps games.
I’m gonna go with David Cage too. I don’t feel that strongly about it, but I still definitely feel his games are overhyped and has too much attention just when compared to the overall quality of his games. They’re good, but they’re not GoTY.
Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin. I guess I define ‘’best’’ as whatjust dumfounded me and made me start my “career”(lol) as a gamer. The Jak and Daxter open world design with fluid transition from area to area is phenomenal.
Agent 47 is pretty dull imo. Overall I never really liked the hitman games, seem kind of shallow and without charecter progression. If they had had better cutscenes with Agent 47 and more variety in mission layout, perhaps:)
I think Clementine from Telltale’s TWD. Her genuity and her way of channeling different emotions in the extremes was really something that hit me.
Open world games yea, it’s potential to tell a narratively driven story is huge and does not have enough emphasize from developers (in general, there are cases that nails it)
As much as i like being ‘’unique’’, I’m gonna go ahead and be that guy saying survival action. Based solely on TLoU. That game simply made it that I seek out all the survival action/survival horror games that I can find, in the hopes that maybe just the gameplay will come close to that of TLoU. It rarely does though.
Locking game content behind a paywall even after initially paying full price for the game. Something a lot of games do but especially Destiny did in a way that seemed highly immoral.
I feel like the mo-cap capabilities has increased ten fold from when it first started showing itself in gaming. Especially the facial capture of RDR2 shows a big leap forward in the technology.
Skipper and Skeeto. Another case of actually enjoying the game a lot and it being ruined by corrupted save files:/. A shame, very child-friendly puzzle that made me develop my puzzle-solving skills from an early age.
God damn save files though x,x
Jak and Daxter: The Precurser Legacy is definitely my number one. The whole series is incredible games, but the first was such a new experience for me, having almost only played the very linear/small scale world types of games prior to this gem.
Uncharted 4 all the way baby :)
Getting a new TV and (finally) the uncharted collection!
God of War
