VGDC FORUMS

Time Crisis 5
Me and my brother found an arcade machine for it in Times Square, so we had to play it!

To be honest, it's kind of disappointing. The new mechanic is weird, and doesn't give you as much freedom when it comes to switching between cover and fire. They're also using the Unreal Engine, so it has a funny rag doll effect, but game itself doesn't look that great. We couldn't finish the game, because it just kept crashing before we reached the end. Although, the stages feel a LOT shorter than the 3 titles before it and the bosses are just big machines. The games always had cheesy and obnoxious bosses that were a delight to fight. So it feels a little soulless. Since it was 10 years since Time Crisis 4, it's kind of a let down. Although, to aid the shortness, Namco did say they're releasing a "Mastermind Edition" which is the same game, but twice as many stages. Guess we'll see if anywhere around here gets that edition.

Dark Escape 4D
Another rail shooter, but in a horror movie setting. Scarier-looking than the likes of House of the Dead. Unfortunately, it's kind of terrible. Nothing but cheap shots that make you lose health instantly.

Tekken 7
It plays pretty much exactly like the previous ones. Actually talked to my brother about it while we were playing, Tekken is pretty much a "Legacy fighter" where it barely changes across installments so that people that played the previous ones can get right into this one. For example, anyone that has solely played Street Fighter Third Strike for years can't just quickly pick up 4 no problem. It's way too different. Tekken, however, you can get use to it really quickly if your character is there and you've played before.

Freedom Planet
The voice acting is fucking horrible, why did they even bother?

Until Dawn
A fun horror interactive movie with a couple of nice twists. It's a real blast to play with a bunch of friends. The game also records you if you have a Playstation Camera when there's certain jump scares, which is great.

Rocket League (PS4)
It's pretty exciting, but playing this with randoms is impossible. You NEED to play with friends with all of you in a party chat.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice for All

Got the series trilogy on my 3DS last December, beat the first one, but havent really had time to play through it cause of work and school, but trying to play a lot more on my free time. Love these games!

Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Always been a fan of Animal Crossing, and the 3DS is really addicting. Another game I whip out on my down time, really wish there was a Wii U one already!

Sunset Overdrive (Sunset OVERDRIVUUUUU)

Finished the game, now might not do all the collecting. Not even.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection

Doing Halo 1 campaign, again. I like to say that I finally got that Beachhead Achievement in one go, proud of that. I never could do that in the 360 version.

:moot

Killer is Dead

Doing it again.

Magic Duels
Xbox One Store

Free to play game. I'm guessing you can buy coins for more cards or something. Anyways, just tried it and thought it was pretty cool. Never knew how Magic worked but it seems good. I enjoyed card games like Yu-Gi-Oh so this one seemed like fun too. Will probably play it more but it bothers me that the game feels really slow. Like when attacking with 5 cards, you have to wait for each one to do its little animation thing against the opponent's life count. Kinda wish it would just add up all the damage together and then subtract it, but I guess it doesn't in case the opponent wants to counter with some card or something... iono.

Far Cry 3

Tried to get some co-op multiplayer achievements done. I'm surprised at the number of levels it has for co-op mode because "lol who plays co-op?!".
Although, it's nothing but doing the same shit. Get to location. Kill people. Active something. Protect it. Next location. Kill people. Plant Bombs. Repeat. *sigh*

The game mechanics in terms of player is not the same as campaign and that really cripples you.
You can't heal at will, only when on the verge of death.
Healing animation takes too long and can get you killed.
Stealth killing is buggy and doesn't properly register sometimes.
No enemy sight detection.
Tagging enemies is a bitch, it has you pressing the fucking "Back" button which I cannot get into my head because I find myself always clicking in the thumbstick the way Gears of War 3 taught you.
You are forced on a Class system on which certain guns you can use. Want to use grenades? You have to use the one class type that allows it.

There were hard moments in the game though, thanks infinite A.I. respawn bullshit.

Castle Crashers Remastered



Doesn't really need an explanation here I would think. Castle Crashers is back on Xbox One. It is free if you own the Xbox 360 version of Castle Crashers. Game brings back some good memories .

Crysis 3

Played a little bit of Single Player while waiting for Disk to show you so we can do PVP.

The last I touched this game was from the Beta. I forgot how good godly the graphics was.
Gameplay is alright, but my old controller can't handle it.

PvP just feels like a hyper Call of Duty.

It's awesome that at the end of the match, you are shown every awesome kill that you did.

When you told me, that they have the best guns in the game, I didn't give a fuck anymore.

It's how I felt about Lost Planet 2's PvP, plus they had fuckin' laser rifles, which are OP as fuck.

Those big special guns came from this game's version of "care packages". You kill x number of people, you get a special assist.
I once got some funky gun that seriously bodied bitches in two shots...and it's a fucking machine gun.
So far, I don't mind that they feel "OP". I mean, you did earned it.

Oh yeah, DAT HALO MANTIS THOOOO. Man that thing moves like a fucking tank though.

FIFA 16



I get a lot of hate from some people for buying FIFA games yearly. I am big football (soccer) fan and get a ton of hours out of these games...(260 hrs on FIFA 15). My money, so .

This year they did adjust the game pace and added some new game modes, such as FUT Draft. They also changed up career mode a bit, finally. The inclusion of Women's International Teams is also very nice, as I am a fan of USWNT. My favorite USWNT player is on the cover , Alex Morgan.
