PleaseBlitz Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 6 minutes ago, Mr. Sinister said: Dying Light was a lot of fun, PB. Sort of a mashup of various zombie elements from different franchises. Plus it features co-op where other people can help you complete missions and clear tough quarantine zones. Only drawback is you need PS Plus to go online, which I view as fiscal rape. If you've never heard of Quantic Dream, they're a company that specializes in adult themed, interactive narratives. Heavy Rain (gritty crime drama) was a big one many years back, and Beyond: 2 Souls (adventure/supernatural thriller) was good as well. Until Dawn (horror theme). Also check out the TellTale franchise, which has some good interactive narrative games like Batman and The Walking Dead Dying Light appears to be the leader in the club house right now. I am intrigued by the adult-themed games, I've played (and enjoyed) the Walking Dead for iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Dying Light is a solid choice. The games im talking about basically function like movies, but you have full control over the narrative. Anything ranging from conversations with your wife, to playing with your children, to tracking down a serial killer as an FBI agent and gathering Intel for your psych profile, to using a supernatural entity to manipulate your surroundings. it's awesome. Some of the most fun I've ever had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still probably my favorite game this gen. did you play the Batman Arkham series last gen? It's amazing and Asylum and City are now available this gen remastered so you can get the whole trilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Ok **** it, I want that game now. The head creator said they weren't going to make a sequel because of all the pitfalls that have been mentioned before but he saw the story and really believed in it so they decided to proceed. I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mashups are nice, when there is a clear picture of what the game is supposed to be. Gamebreaker said it best... If TLOU was nothing but a movie, it would have been Oscar worthy. In terms of gameplay however, It just felt like I was being pulled in several directions with no clear genre to point to. It certainly had many moments where it captivated me in terms of plat, but overall, I'm just really hard on developers in this day and age when it comes to narrative over gameplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Just started FF15 and its...weird. Its basically four guys on a road trip. I hope it gets better but then again I've not even put two hours into it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamebreaker Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 It does seem weird. I've only played for 30 minutes before having to stop due to kids. The main characters remind me of some kind of boy band with the way they look and talk. Everyone I know who's playing it says it gets good once the Prince arrives at hjd destination. We'll see.

It certainly had many moments where it captivated me in terms of plat, but overall, I'm just really hard on developers in this day and age when it comes to narrative over gameplay It was an action stealth game set in a zombie survival setting. It had elements of survival horror in the ammo conservation and crafting that's all. I just didn't care what genre it was really, it was perfect. The variety of genres it touches on though was part of its appeal for me. The stealth moments were mixed up with some action portions and then you had the strong story elements that broke up all of those constantly. And all the while you had the thought of running out of ammo and being screwed against the clickers or humans in your mind too adding stress and tension to the encounters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 There are a lot of us sharing the opinion that The Last Of Us had very good storytelling, but was rather lacking in gameplay or that the gameplay didn't really fit. I felt like I was slogging through the repetitive gameplay and predictable action sequences in order to push the story forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I think genre in this instance was important, because they mixed in a ton of elements, and non of them were all that compelling. The stealth system was average at best, the game wasn't all that intense, or creepy/scary, and for a game set decades afterward in a post apocalyptic world, where firearms and ammo should be fairly scarce, there were way too many weapons to choose from, and too many situations that called for them. And the melee system was garbage imo. I liked the cannibals sequence, and several others, but I just felt like overall, there was nothing special about the gameplay itself.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I thought the stealth portions were handled very well because they were fun. So many stealth games end up in boring trial and error. This felt more organic and natural and if you are engaged in the world, it raised the stakes. The action and overall gameplay was very unique for me in the little touches like putting that type of stealth and action into a world with clickers and zombies. Also things like Ellie saving you in a fight made her more than an escort mission. She was a partner and that bond played out through the gameplay, only making the story even stronger. But ah well.

Mr. Sinister Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Ugh, I think my save just got ruined. I Dunmer'd my way through the first play through, focusing on largely main missions and Winterhold missions, just to get my bearings. This time though, I chose a Woodland Elf ranger/thief/assassin, and was having so much ****ing fun exploring the world this time and using alchemy and enchantment for my weapons, and using stealth guerilla and sniping attacks with my bow and dual daggers at close range. Riften and its thieves guild criminal underworld is my hq. I had also just stolen the contract from the Dark Brotherhood and was going to join up with them after paying back my debt to Astrid. I also has designs on investigating the Nightengale rumours and joining them too, but that would've required going deeper into the thieves guild quests probably. I was tasked by the corrupt Lady Blackbriar with some mission to retrieve info from an estate and burn some property, buts there's some weird glitch forcefully around the entire Island. Gumps. I think I'm gonna just go on and start my next idea.... Aristocratic Breton swordsman who is on a quest for immortality and is willing to become a vampire (I'm assuming that Dawnguard DLC gives you several options, including that one..... Or I could just wander into a lair in the world and get it that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
