Titanfall, just felt like such an empty unengaging experience. Really dont understand why it got so much media praise, and cant believe i wasted £40 on it.

COD with robots , how cynical .

I've stopped buying full priced games
The last games I bought.

Sim city
X-rebirth
Thief

Total **** compared to the previous games in their series.....

Destiny was SO overhyped.

Underrated games , their underrated for a reason , often fall in the JRPG genre , Lost Odessey is a stand out for me can it get any more trite and formulaic ?

I want to say Call of Duty...but when almost everybody I talk to over the age of 14 agrees that COD is overrated, is it really overrated anymore? Maybe it's rated exactly where it should be: as a disposable cash cow that's lost the relevance it once had. Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, Heretic...now those were great FPS's. When you think about it, nothing really important has been done in the genre since then. Id Software perfected the formula on PC and everything that came after was just more bells and whistles.

Believe it or not, I've only bought ONE game at full price in my whole life. It was Soul Calibur II, 11 years ago.

I'll go with Counter-strike: Source or whatever it's called. I;ve watched people play this, and holy boredom, Batman! Tends to consist of very, very brief engagements followed by looooooooooooong waits for respawns, and sometimes looooooooooooong waits for the next round to start. Of all of the shooters I've ever seen, this is by far the one I have the lowest opinion of.

And then Destiny. Just..... sigh. It had originally looked like they were doing something NEW. One of the big developers, actually trying something DIFFERENT? I normally only see that with indie devs! And Destiny's gameplay concepts sounded interesting! And then it came out, and I watched a good amount of it, aaaaaaand..... Yep, it's Halo again. Oh there's story modes and blah blah blah, but apparently it's NOT a long game, and surprise surprise, people end up just getting focused on PvP which they then do over and over again.... and which looks exactly like Halo. Groan.


Titanfall now, that I actually like. A *fast* moving shooter for once with alot of mobility. Less of the waiting, less of the sniping (I hate sniping so much.... so very, very much), and as far from being Counter-strike as possible. I aint very good at shooters, but that's one even I got into.

ASS CREED

Everything wrong with the industry can be found in this game , when the cool kids love a cerebral and or challenging game and the haters say said games suck they will say just go play COD child , well I don't think COD is that bad in fact it can be "fun" = to the 12 year old going to the big city to watch a big budget action film for the 1 st time ......

Than you grow up and realise it's lacking depth ,I don't hate it though these days it doesn't do anything for me , unlike Ass Creed , one of the few games I despise and am totally at lost to understand it's appeal .

I don't doubt that , it's what attracted me to the franchise , the lack of depth , repetition and lack of challenge which killed it for me .

The first AS seemed cool, the second had the one Mario reference...after that it became a mess to me. I really don't find it worth it to get into a series with a dedicated yearly release. The only good stuff that's come out of it is the costume and haystack box in MGS4 and Peace Walker.
