Interesting how on another forum I'm on, everyone calls Watch Dogs overrated, but here it's different. Don't know whether or not to buy it.

It doesn't look very polished from what Ive seen. Hype.

Eh, probably won't pick it up for a while regardless. I just started gaming again after taking a break from it for a while, so I'm first going to play stuff I've missed out on during that time.

Kids nowadays expect too much then get disappointed when they don't get what they want. Watchdogs is not a groundbreaking game with the best graphics on this earth. It's just a good game with some unique ideas, which is exactly what I expected.

What I really wish would be (re)made is San Andreas. I'm sure at least 50% of the work would already be done. Plus it would be an infinitely better game than V, not that V wasn't a very good game. Imagine San Andreas but with new graphics, physics, gameplay etc and bigger map.

Same here.

True that, top quality graphics are nice and I appreciate them in a game, but they're secondary to story and gameplay IMO. Just look at the games we played when we were kids, we were able to survive back then without extremely realistic HD graphics. What happened to just being entertained?

 

[Salvo]

Graphics don't mean Shit. It's about gameplay. Sadly games nowadays are more about the cinematic experience. My cousin has watchdogs says it's great. I really want them to make another red Dead, loved that game. Sleeping dogs was good as well.

I'm still peeved several years later about how Metal Gear Solid 4 practically had movie-length cutscenes. It was ridiculous, ruined the game for me and I never actually finished it.

Internet happened. Online gaming did more damage than good IMO. And a lot of angry spoiled kids who can't handle losing. It's all about the nicest graphics and looking for reasons to complain.

Hell, back in Atari days i didn't give a rat's ass about bugs and such, it was all about having fun.

 

[Ragazza]

I hate losing too, it's why I rarely play online or against other people. I'm not even that good at most games, I just play to waste time and have fun.

I like games like that. Mostly because the story adds entertainment value. I remember how Kingdom Hearts and some of the Final Fantasy games were my shit back in college.

No way I'm going to write out that many, but I'll just make a small list of games that had an impact on me in some way:

Pokemon Red/Blue - first games I were ever really hooked on, parents finally gave in and bought me a Game Boy because I wouldn't shut up about it
Gran Turismo 3 - first realistic racing game I played
Katamari Damacy - random, but strangely fun as hell
Silent Hill 2 and 3 - my first survival horror games
Halo "trilogy" (1-3) - before they started milking the series for everything it's worth
Resident Evil 4 - hated the controls in the previous games which kept me from enjoying them fully, so this was the first one I really liked
Fatal Frame 2 - fucking scary-ass game, more than any SH or RE
Portal - showed you can still make a great game even without a ton of action scenes and whatnot
Team Fortress 2 - only online game I ever played, too bad they made it too complicated by adding too much new shit
Bioshock - incorporated great graphics, storyline and gameplay. One of the most "complete" to me in that regard.

 

[ZoSo]

I would choose these as my all time favourites

Forgot about the Fallout games.

@ZoSo have you played Brutal Legend? Curious since you have an interest in metal.
