Yeah, Arkham Knight is worth the 10. Just know the batmobile is a large part of the game and there have been mixed feelings about it, to say the least. i personally felt it was okay, although sometimes it felt that it had overstayed its welcome.

Still thought it was a great game tho.

Thanks breh

I know u said Mad Max is ass, ia it worth 10 for black Friday tho, or don't bother?

I'm still on Arkham Origins not too fond of Batman games at the moment shyt taking forever

Mafia 3 any good?

Reading this thread got me feeling :mjcry:
Had a baby in April, can barely get uninterrupted time in to play, but when I do I play X-Com 2 (Commander difficulty) cuz i can play in spurts and remote play on my tablet.

Want to eventually get back to my backlog: Madden, Galak-Z, and some others i've sat on.
Hoping to score some quality games for cheap in anticipation of a Connecticut winter.

Still playing PSVR games. Played "Keep talking and nobody explodes" again last night. Some of those instructions are difficult to decipher but once you figure it out its a breeze to go through all the steps to diffuse the bomb.

My fault

Far as this thread goes...

I'm gonna cop Last of Us and Tomb Raider for $10 each black Friday

Thinking bout watch dogs and mad Max but dunno now

Arkham Knight prolly strait but I dont like the complications with Batman games, might cop that for 10 as well

Other than that Mafia 3 and NBA 2k17

Possibly Madden 17 for 30

That was me.

I think mad max was awful. it was open world the game.

However if you really enjoy open world game design it's probably worth it for $10.

It's the combat from batman and decent vehicle combat.

You just said you're kinda sick of batman so it may not be for you because it's just like batman or shadow of Mordor but mad max themed instead. wb has a very clear outline of open world game design just like ubisoft has there's.

I found the narrative forgettable and the amount of side quests and busy work is OD.

Saw you mention watch dogs. Don't get the first. It's ass. get the 2nd it's legit great.

Which leads into my next post :blessed:

Back to back :wow:

Like titanfall 2 was the best fps I've played, watch dogs 2 is the best open world game I've played this Gen.

I loved this game. And if you know my feelings on open world you know that's high praise :heh:

Here's the thing.

Ubisoft games where just carbon copy open world in different franchises.

Not only did ubi take all of the criticism of the first game to heart,they took the opportunity to switch things up in their formula.

The characters in this are light hearted and fun. Marcus is likeable. And hidden beneath those light hearted moments is some genuine writing that a comes from a personal place.

The crew reminded me of a mix of Mr. robot and hackers.

The game is tongue in cheek and silly and it knows that but that doesn't mean it can't deliver a few poignant moments.

The game play was a fukking joy. However it takes a few hours to reach there because a lot of the best abilities have to be unlocked.

But when you do :wow:

Calling in gang hits and having people arrested by hacking never stopped being fun.

Calling in cops and gangs and setting boobie traps while watch the chaos from your drone and then shooting your stun launcher into crowds was pure bliss.

Thrown away is the collectatons and fetch quests. In fact the only collectibles present are money or research points which allow you to unlock more abilities. Though you don't need to seek either to have money or abilities.

All your missions are brought up through your phone and you can fast travel anywhere.

Usually ubisoft games follow the same cycle for me. I have fun for 5-10 hours then sour horribly because it becomes tedious. that never happened to me.

I put 30 hours in and I'm going to go back to do online.


On the negatives I found that using guns was misplaced. It flew directly in the face of the character and the narrative.

There was 2 side missions that over stayed their welcome and had you repeat the same tasks like 20 times.

The driving isn't great. it just doesn't feel good. Further more neither does shooting. It's just amateurish. on top of that the parkour doesn't feel fluid. You don't feel in control. Parkour is hidden behind canned animations and it's awkward seeing him do a backwards flip off a ledge that's 2 feet off the ground instead of dropping.

All in all I highly recommend this game. It's just pure fun.

It's not without some faults,not many games are but this is the type of game that reminds me there is so much untapped potential in open world.

9/10
