Have to agree with you. The game is a let down compared to previous ones. Arkham Asylum remains the best in my eyes. It was fresh, had great enemies, the pacing and story were much better.
Great game, I still play it but that was October 2014. It has been a long time between drinks for exclusives on the X1. Late 2015 will be good though.
Yep.
The Order 1886: 8/10
Bloodborne: 9.5/10
Until Dawn: Looks promising.
Persona 5(TBA 2015): Can't wait.
Save the cheerleader!
This would be the perfect type of game to include a photo mode in. As a kind of heavy rain-esque interactive movie photo mode would seem to me to be a great fit.
I think they should delay ROTTR to 2016 and release it to compete with Uncharted 4. There are already more than enough AAA's releasing at the end of this year.
@Valenka: Nice review, I share your opinion of the game.
You should try The Evil Within. It is also fantastic if not quite on the same level as Alien Isolation. It has a great atmosphere and now that they have patched it and you can remove the letterboxing/black bars, I would say it is the second best horror game this gen.
I agree. The game is fantastic and my second favourite game this gen after Bloodborne. The atmosphere is just fantastic, especially as a fan of the original movie.
Styx is really good old school stealth. Shinobido 2 is fun for Tenchu fans who owmn a vita.
I would say they have cut the audience to less than 1/3 potential as the game sells far more on PS traditionally.
I am lucky enough to own both consoles so will play it at release regardless. Was definitely as very ruthless move by MS taking a beloved multi-platform title and locking it down as a timed exclusive. I understand peoples frustration.
Yep, I'll pick up TR on X1 and F4 on ps4. Not sure which I'll play first, both will be great.
Yeah its awesome, and the choices you make really impact the cutscenes and how Vincent thinks and acts, not to mention the endings.
Pewdiepie is playing it currently.
Also some other great underrated games for consideration:
Killer is Dead, Lollipop Chainsaw, Shadows of the Damned
Alice: The Madness Returns
The Saboteur
Catherine
Prince of Persia
Dead Space
Enslaved
Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom
Xmen Origins Wolverine
Space Marine
Condemned 2
Singularity
Vanquish
Binary Domain
Remember Me
The Last Guy
Con...
Catherine and LC were two of my favourite games from last gen. Nice choices.
Also loved Shadows of the Damned, and Killer is dead.
Halo is super popular but I doubt the MCC has sold 5 mil. If so that's very impressive for a remaster collection but I won't believe it until I see an official statement.
Unless of course they are counting each copy sold as 4 units because it includes 4 Halo games?
Yep, I like horror. Until Dawn will sit proudly next to Alien Isolation and The Evil Within, assuming it is good of course.
Your comment seems like the definition of 'stealth trolling'. Just sayin's all ;)
I don't think you understood the comparison completely.
This is why episodic gaming is a terrible idea. I never buy until the whole game is out. It is a step backwards.
My list, in order of release date(kinda):
Until Dawn
MGS5
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Fallout 4
Persona 5
