yeah... even several months after playing through god of war (so recency bias has faded some), i think its the best game i've ever played. certainly king of this gen. lol xbox. i've already played through that game 3 times, and every now and again feel the itch to go back to it
i haven't played sekiro and nier yet, though i'm pretty sure i'll enjoy them. it will probably be a while before i get to those. i already had a pretty sizeable backlog even before buying all these games, and tbh i want to "earn" by way to sekiro by playing dark souls 1/2/3 first.
i otherwise agree that bloodborne is near the top. that game was a masterpiece as well, and i can see myself making another couple of play-throughs. i just wish the narrative was a bit stronger, rather than making me look up to understand the lore
cant really say the same about horizon. dont get me wrong, that game was also great in its own way and is one of the best i've played in that open world side quest mania genre, with a solid story. but i cant imagine getting the urge to make another play-through anytime soon. if i ever do, it would probably just be an NG+ run on ultra hard. i imagine i'll have the same general feeling about Days Gone. will be a fun play through, but not something i'd pick up and play again for a long time. tbh only rockstar games have had that appeal for me... i played GTAV/San Andreas/Vice City at least 3 times apiece.
otherwise, i think the batman games were all terrific, though arkham knight is the only one from this gen. spiderman was great.
red dead 2 is probably the strongest narrative i've ever encountered in a game. but much like horizon, firing up a new game of that would feel like a massive undertaking, but i'd sooner replay RDR2 than horizon. i wouldn't look forward to grinding materials through hunting all over again though
TLOU remastered is another game i'd love to go back to, to try it on grounded.
cant comment on the games i havent played yet, obviously.
I don't get why apalisoc has such a hard on for sekiro. It's a good game for sure. But imo bloodborne and dark souls 3 are superior
While one can argue bloodbrone and DS 3 are better game overall. Sekiro is a naked game. Very little in way of weapons, level up items, skill trees etc. I thought it was by far the strongest combat wise.
The biggest thing Sekiro has going is combat innovation. Just a completely different way of combat.
man Read dead 2 is so much time commitment![]()
Eww.. 2k20.
havent enjoyed a basketball video game since live 04
You like baseball 21? I would've gone with the show 19. Their road to the show mode is perfect.
Series keeps getting better and better. they actually add relevant stuff instead of copy/pasting from year to year.
Damn I wasn't much of a fan of Live 04 with that ridiculous hop step that turned everyone into TMac. Live 03 was my favorite 5on5 game since it was fast paced and arcade like, and then for simulation I really liked NBA 2k8 for being able to run pretty complex plays for the first time. 2k8 feels like the highpoint of the series though, ever since the additions have just been graphical improvements, roster updates, crap story modes, and microtransactions.
I didn't have patience with Sekiro. It's a good game, but it's constant grinding. There's a point where that grinding can become frustration because you don't feel you're actually improving with each iteration.
I've been enjoying 2k since Dreamcast and god damn it's not even playable anymore. Feels like I'm in the Groundhogs Day movie with that game. It's ing slow as now, and although you can boost up the speed, you can't stop the ty hesitation when players switch into their layup moves.. it's garbage
