Don't you just do the same thing over and over in most games?
Ryse is fine especially for that price. I had fun with it and the combat.
Since it's not like it over stays it's welcome. Would be different if it was like a 20 hour game.

I bet it's on the Humble Monthly.

Just had another round of Sega/strategy humble, so I'm gonna guess we get another Uplay bundle next.

Hm, tempted to pick up Ryse.
That's a lot of cutscenes though, is the story at least worth following? If the gameplay is that shallow and the story is a waste of time I'm left with little motivation to play it.
Even if it gets a bit repetitive I can stick with it if I'm motivated to see what happens in the story.

at $5, you could do a lot worse.
It's basically a 5 hour game based on Arkham combat. It looks great but if you play it like a rental then you'll feel decent about your time spent because there isn't much to it

The Overwatch bootie thread got killed by ModBot.
But it got replaced by a JRPG bootie thread so it is a net win.
It has been easy as f for me. I guess I should bump the difficulity up. But it seems I can only move up one level from where I started on each playthrough.

Looks like Shadow of Mordor 2 is a thing

Here's a hint for the devs this time around, why not make your game not piss easy this time around so that the nemesis system is worth a damn?

i want mad max but ill wait till its like 10 bucks, i doubt I'll even beat it if i buy it, I'll probably get bored after 4 hours or so.
Sounds good but I still dislike this practice of taking regular video games and making them exclusive to VR. If more developers start doing the same its only going to piss off many people. Nothing about the neat zoom and camera VR features in Lucky's Tale couldn't be done on a regular joystick just like Mario 64 did 20 years ago.

SoM was GOTY of the year it came out unless you're a Shovel Knight fan, to which that too is perfectly acceptable as a GOTY for that year.
But that's more of a testament to how weak 2014 was.

No, Smash 4 and Tropical Freeze were GOTY 2014.
Humble pls
Bummer. Probably has to do with Humble Monthly so close by?

Didn't know the Steam version of Hitman 2 is censored.

weird, i keep searching the steam database for those games and nothing comes up
are they some sort of hard-to-find porny anime games or something?
But it had Transistor, which is the 2nd best game released this decade.

In the AAA space sure but elsewhere it was pretty darn good, which makes it all the more embarassing that most sites can't look past SoM and DA3.
Oh damn, and I was going to get April's Humble Monthly with my coupon and forgot. Too late now, I'm a broke fool.

Transistor was fine? I didn't love it like some folks did, i wasn't a big fan of the game's story and the combat got old by the end of it
That's a testament how weak you gaming tastes are.
The year Wolfenstein came out? man nah
I expected more from Mordor after Giant Bomb gave it GOTY and it turned out to be a lesser Arkham game.
Wait, wasn't the Thursday bundle removed exactly so they can always have two Tuesday ones running?
I remembered The Force Unleashed to be a decent game.
I was wrong.
Fun in "Whoa, the controls are super tight and the combat is complex and eganging"? No.
Fun in a "This game so sooo good lookin', but unfortunetaley very mediocre. Tho, since it is only 5 hours long and i love the setting and graphics" kind of way? Sure.
I'd honestly recommend it at this price point.

Is something like that really necessary? Heaven forbid people enjoy different things.

i dunno, i play 80-100 games a year to completion (in 2014, i finished 76 games for example) so that would suggest a broad taste in games and a tolerance for the varying quality of them
but if you want to make things personal then continue on, don't let me stop you on this fine day
WolfTNO has a weak beginning and a really weak end IMHO. However, had the whole game been as good as the middle section of it then i would definitely agree with you.

Mordor was decent but paper thin. I would like the sequel to be more expansive but I don't expect it to be.

People getting salty because their favourite games didn't win GOTY is my favourite thing.

That's a testament to how weak you favorite things taste are.
It weirds me out how harsh most people are towards 2014 in video games, considering how great of a year it was for Nintendo first party entries.
But, then again, I can't blame most of them, regarding how few people own a Wii U, lol.
That said, nothing got close to Transistor that year.
It looks like that Escapist got hit by another round of layoffs.

Bought TR2013 during the Winter Sale and now it's $1. At least I actually started the game.

Mordor wasn't perfect, but the parts that worked in that game worked incredibly well for me so much so that I'm anxiously awaiting the leap that Mordor 2 should take over its predecessor.
I can understand if it didn't land that well with some folks, again it's not perfect. But it was one of those early-gen games that gave you some hope that these next 5-7 years of games wont just be asscreed20 and COD45 as far as AAA productions went. They brought something really new and refreshing to the open world genre and I can't wait to see more of it

Well, fuck. Explains all the itching lately.
Yeah.., but not Shadow of Mordor.
it was just a joke
You need that /s for jokes, less they come across like personal attacks.
Shadow of Mordor was beh.
The Nemesis system was really cool, especially when you meet a guy you thought you killed and he is visibly changed by the last fight and remembers it.
But the actual gameplay was just Arkham x AC in an empty and dull looking open world, with a bad story even by videogame standards.
I'd like to see the Nemesis system return in some form, but the rest of the game can stay dead imho.

Yeah, sure, though the end for me in this case would only be the final boss. I had a lot of fun with it for the most part.
I found Mordor disappointing because the criticism of "it's just another Batman game" was shrugged off as overly reductionist when it was disappointingly accurate for me. The nemesis system was largely superficial and I felt a lot of the enjoyment from the game relied on it. It also ended weak, didn't it? One bad boss fight to another.
Guys, how much better is a MSI GTX 780 Lightning than a Sapphire 280X Dual-X OC? I'm afraid I let a pretty good 780 deal slip and I'm feeling a little salty.
