What the heck?? Mindless combat?! Demon's Souls (and in turn Dark Souls) is known for having the most precise and accurate combat in any game to date? What in god's holy name are you blathering about? Oblivion (and in turn Skyrim) will have far more slashing as you stand next to a mob...

I don't enjoy gambling one bit in real life, I consider it an idiots idea of fun. The lottery especially is the government way of taking stupid people's money (even more so than taxes!) So, when a gambling mechanic appears in a game I am (almost) always annoyed and displeased. I find the...

I was actually quite certain that *spoiler* you were Kessler the entire time. The moment he came about in the game I called it, not as a guess, and was correct. Not to say that it wasn't a good ending, I actually enjoyed it a lot. I just wasn't personally surprised by it.

Bioshock - *spoilers* Despite what others are saying on here, I don't think it was that easy to guess that Fontaine was Atlas. Frankly, in 2007 I wasn't ready for games yet to have that level of storytelling. I expected Atlas to simply be some barely-necessary npc that moved you from level to...

Well... I own Xenogears, but while it can be hard to find these days, almost everybody knows of it. I also consider it extremely overrated despite that I own it lol. As far as truly obscure games I have the following: Dobutsu Bancho, Aura: Fate of the Ages, the first King's Field (released...

Heavy Rain, Demon's Souls, Heavenly Sword, Okami, LittleBigPlanet games, Final Fantasy (sometimes...), inFamous 2, some Mass Effect, MGS4 was good, Super Metroid (imagine those midis orchestrated and it's unbelievable lol), Mirror's Edge (ambience), Pixeljunk Shooter games, Red Dead Redemption...

I'm going to attempt to sound as if I'm not simply bashing as I type these: Call of Duty games - they are not any good, at all. Boring weapons, boring-repetitive gameplay, poorly designed levels. WET - Actually enjoyed this game a lot. Don't get me wrong, it needed a ton of work, but that...

I was startled to see that this game had not been scrapped somewhere along the way. I'm definitely still interested, but actually a little disappointed to see that it has more AssCreed involved in the gameplay than I originally thought. The fact that it is being released only as a...

Without even reading the thread, I know I have the single scariest sound: A Deathclaw breathing in Fallout 3. I specifically say Fallout 3 because of the cave, in which you could be unable to see one of the beasts, and only hear it's slow, granulated, deep breaths, knowing that in a few...

I agree it's awesome, but not the best. /cheers though! As for best standalone game, I would also want to say Demon's Souls... but I don't want to cheat. Not only is it a successor of the King's Field series, but it has it's own successor coming out in twelve days. I also want to put down...

Can I just say that I agree with this entirely. That was perhaps the biggest disappointment for me that they changed between I and II. The assassinations in the first game felt like a grand challenge themselves. In AssCreed II and Broho you don't work for them nearly as well. It was even...

Aww I couldn't disagree with this more. Ezio has never been one of sacrifice. In fact, a better end for him would be to have the enemy believe him dead while he escapes and perhaps takes up residence with Sforza, living out his days in hiding, fooling around with the handmaidens and such ;)...

I'm not sure they said it would be the last game with Altair. I think he's relevant in some way through out the entire series. I'd bet actually that all the people Desmond ends up reliving come around now and again (however many that turns out to be). However, if we don't get to play Altair...

I know exactly what the OP is saying, and I agree to a certain extent. Is the prospect of reinventing the series by taking it to new locations with different characters being squandered? Yes. Is this due to a lack of ability and a missed opportunity by the developers? Nope. This is a gain...

I hate to say it, because I'm normally not a proponent of this, but I think they are killing themselves with their multiplayer decisions. People gladly shell out $60 for the CoD and Battlefield games and yet they have shorter campaigns. The obvious trick is the multiplayer. ID basically said...
