jfc, I thought people were joking when they called Drake a murderer in those UC games. It's either us or them you nimrods. Also, UC2 is the game of that generation, your faves could never yadda yadda yadda.

Its actually Last of Us come to think of it.

I think Max Payne 3 is a little underrated.

Not as good as Gears,Uncharted,Tomb Raider... but pretty darn good.

Actually, I'm wrong. Max Payne 3 wipes the fucking floor on everything.

I despise that game. Considering it's the sequel to two of the best third person shooters ever and instead it's a corridor cutscene simulator

I have a guilty pleasure love for Max Payne 3. Its insanely self indulgent and incredibly on rails but man I fucking love that story, that setting, that gunplay, everything.

Amazing soundtrack as well.

So does GTA V play like Max Paybe 3? Shooting wise.

I couldn't finish GTA4. I just didn't find it fun to play at all. Am I missing out?

Everything about that game punched so hard in all the right areas. The guns, the pace, the story, the variety of levels, THE MUSIC, the James McCaffrey....

I need to replay that game again.

What is wrong with uncharted's shooting? Besides the problem with the third game prepatch it was always responsive and smooth so the games are on par with each other in that category. Uncharted's AI mops the floor with tomb raider, they make the worst attempts at cover and piss poor attempt to flank you. Drake might be a heartless stone cold killer but I despised how big of a deal Lara made her first kill then kills a thousand more people no problem. I won't say fuck tomb raider and it's fans since that's dumb as shit but the tomb raider series is off to a great new start and have high hopes for the next game.

Its shooting has always been second rate, and the enemy AI feels like a wet fart. I've never enjoyed a single shooting encounter in UC2 or 3, not at all. It's simply joyless, and the devs know it. Yet they pad out the exploration (which is by far the most fun part of it) with bullet sponges. They can't get their stop and pop gameplay on the same level of Gears, yet they press on with it because they had no other way to move between their big special levels, and even then it kind of falls flat as they'll do that "pan camera back and do a 360, showcasing all the different obstacles you'll get to traverse and here's a set of stalactites you'll need to shimmy over, make sure you don't miss these, we tried to make them look natural but can't" trick a zillion times.

UC1 was interesting. 2 and 3 were them fucking a chicken. For a few hours. Not unlike Killzone 2, it's just crap to play through, but nice to see once. And don't get me started on KZ3...

Games I pretty much skipped out last gen.

Mass Effect
Fall Out
Sky Rim

I don't know. I'm not a japonophile that only thinks Japanese RPGs are good but just couldn't get into them.

Mass Effect 1 elevators drove me nuts so I quit. Skyrim had some glitch early on that made me quit too. And Fallout just looked... well... bleak.

edit:
I have enjoyed Borderlands/Destiny/Diablo 3... so yeah, not against western "RPGs"

Mass Effect is worth doing. I liked em. Fallout New Vegas is a crown jewel of gaming.

Skyrim's a piece of shit, if a glitch early on didn't make you quit, the thousands waiting for you to trigger would have done it.

As a person against Western RPGs, Fallout is worth messing around with though the new ones feel expansive and empty, and Mass Effect is enjoyable from a lore/worldbuilding standpoint but the gameplay is a bore/chore combo and the narrative takes a huge quality nosedive from ME1=>ME2=>ME3.

The ME3 ending sequence is the worst thing I've ever encountered in a game that wasn't otherwise total shit.

I feel like I am still in a window that I can enjoy last gen games before next-gen really takes off. Especially with all these ports to the newer machines.

Heck, the enemy escalation is basically them becoming spongier as opposed to anything remotely interesting.

It's a good-ass game. I've never played through Icewind Dale or its sequel, and I hated that one game they did the third sequel for. I can't remember its name. Dungeon...Siege 3. I didn't like that at all. Alpha Protocol was dope as FUCK and KOTOR 2 was dope as fuck.

Is that a "drone" status or should I like some more games I didn't like?

That is what I like least about difficulty up - I have no love, whatsoever, for enemies that simply take more damage, or your weapons being weaker. I want to think harder. I want to respond better. I want to be a better player through it, not simply re-use the same tactics. I love it when games give bosses at higher difficulties new attacks, or different responses. I love it when you look at Halo and they have group dynamics and a clear pecking order that you can disrupt in multiple ways. I love that shit. Uncharted simply didn't do any of that, and that's fine to a degree, but man, it got long in the tooth.

Other than the main matches, Makabe vs. Yano has the potential to be fun as they are former tag partners, also Makabe vs. Shibata is a rematch from WK7. Ibushi vs. Fale might be a unique big/little man match, and all of the Bullet Club vs. Bullet Club and CHAOS vs. CHAOS matches are always intriguing. I'm also very interested to see how Elgin gets over...he's got a very Scott Norton-esque look and style, which I think will mesh very well with the New Japan fans. Him vs. other power-based guys like Goto, Kojima, and especially Ishii will be very interesting.

I bought the Mass Effect trilogy for $7.50 during a sale. I struggled through Mass Effect 1. Boring as fuck. Mass Effect 2 was longer and even more boring. Considering forcing myself through 3 just to get it over with, but god damn, these are not my kind of games. I can't fathom how people gave Mass Effect 1 and 2 GOTY over Mario Galaxy 1 and 2.

Best site ever. Feels great to know how long each game is that you're about to tackle. I've been using it for over a year now, total lifesaver. I've brought my backlog from 100+ down to 3 games thanks to that site.

Every open world is the same! Let's walk into this NPC's house and hunt for some cool shit oh man he's got a used shoehorn, some gum, and an empty pack of cigarillos in his nightstand, time to take that and add it to my inventory in case I run into a shoe cobbler NPC in 32 hours that needs a shoehorn.

You forgot then being over-encumbered with the furnishings of a small mansion and spending the next 10 minutes filtering through your horde of mostly useless tat.

God damn that fucking mini turret game in Bioshock 1. I don't even know why I bothered.
Bioshock infinite seemed to have a lot less bullshit in it. Enjoyed it more.

I started Wicther 2 and was already annoyed with all the god damn items.

I did enjoy DiabloIII but I just fucking dismantle every fucking thing I get. If I'm not fucking wearing it, it's gone. Same with Destiny. I just get rid of crap I don't need,

Maybe it matters more at higher level but the pack rack shit drives me nuts.
