The 'What Are You Playing' 2016 Thread

WD2 must be good then because I know you're a harsh critic.

Well see I wouldnt say I'm a harsh critic necessarily.

I just value different things in games than most. Above all I value creativity and originality.

I also get very bored of formulas a lot quicker than everyone.


People are just now getting tired of call of duty and asscreed and I was irritatingly bored of them over 5 years ago

That's why I give Bethesda and even rock star shyt because they've fallen into that formula trap and are actually removing stuff and going backwards.

It's why I gave ubisoft a lot of shyt too so this was such a breath of fresh air.

It's a lot of why I think this Gen has been so bad because creativity is at an all time low and so many games are just carbon copy shyt.

And that extends to all my tastes. hence why I hate the marvel films because they're just so fukking formulaic that I can't stand it.

Just finished beating Castlevania Symphony Of The Night again. Classic
Now I'm back to working on Mass Effect. I want to replay the whole trilogy before Andromeda drops.

Been playing a lot of SAMP.

If you don't what I'm talking about its basically a mod for Grand Theft Auto San Andreas which allows you to play with other players.

I mostly be on Crazy Bob's Cops and a Robber servers

Sixty hours into Persona 5.

Man if there's something I love is when each time you meet a new party member and they unleash their Persona for the first time and an in-engine cutscene plays while it's happening which doesn't occur often.

shyt look so dope. It's generational leaps in quality coming from Persona 4 where it was just mostly stationary characters that talked while events unfolded.

The music that plays and then the boss battles that ensue with the "boss music" playing be having me like geeked out. shyt is fukking crazy

They are easily the best indie studio today. from dead nation to alien nation to this they know how to make a fukking fun game.

I don't know why I had this in my backlog so long,guess I just forgot about it to be honest.

But man. Again,this is a game that is just pure gaming bliss. The particle effects are breath taking,the boss fights are fun and the game play is flawless.

It's short and sweet however the replay value is insane. I'm going to buy this on vita so I can play this on the go because it is perfect for a handheld.


9.5/10

#38 and #39

I'm just bunching these 2 together because they honestly don't deserve separate write ups,I'll put in as much effort as bungie did with these first 2 expansions. Which is not fukking much.


Again,this is just more of the same vanilla destiny. Good game play wrapped up in a narrative that makes no sense,terrible mission design and reskinned enemies

Straight up this is just lazy and felt like it should have been part of the main game.

I didn't hate either of these but at the same time it's just wasted potential.

5.5/10
