I actually did complete GTA IV without enjoying a single second of it because I loved III / Vice City / San Andreas so much and kept expecting IV to become amazing at some point because it was Rockstar. I'm so glad they fixed the driving in GTA V to play like it did in San Andreas and before.
Actually, I shouldn't say I didn't enjoy any of the GTA IV. That game did introduce me to Ricky Gervais, who did some hilarious standup at one of the clubs you could take a date to in the game. But that was literally the only good thing about GTA IV.
yeah, GTA is meant to be an arcade style game. there comes a point where realism makes no sense and just detracts from the game
there were just a lot of things wrong with the game. niko was such a worthless character. zero appeal. his friends were stupid. the city was stupid. they actually tried incentivizing calling for a ing taxi instead of just stealing a car. in a game called grand theft auto.

that's a fair point tbh. it's a le i'll probably pick up down the line, along with witcher 3. i'm probably gonna eventually fall behind on consoles again, and start playing a lot of the great ps4 les for dirt cheap at a point in time when people are spending money on the ps5
but again, i'm not that well versed in RPGs, so those games are going to take some adjustments. i mean yeah i've played some fallout, but my understanding is those are pretty watered down compared to some of the bigger rpgs
BOTW is def all time overrated. But I still wanna play it. I cant imagine it being worse than an 8/10 game.
Obviously BOTW capitalized with nostalgia.
The thing that pissess me off with Zelda reviews, every RPGs story is dissected. You make one one misstep and you're losing a point. But Zelda reviews had to omit story that or the typical " you cant judge its story..thats not what zelda is for"
They'll probably both go on similar sales at some point next year too. Here are their price histories on PSN:that's a fair point tbh. it's a le i'll probably pick up down the line, along with witcher 3. i'm probably gonna eventually fall behind on consoles again, and start playing a lot of the great ps4 les for dirt cheap at a point in time when people are spending money on the ps5

Funny enough both the Complete Edition and the only base game versions of Witcher 3 are $20 on PSN right now.
Damn, I was looking forward to more dungeons.
There are a bunch of shrines in BOTW but the combat is pretty lame in them. They're mostly about doing puzzles too. I loved Odyssey even though I hated Mario 64. But the control is good enough in Odyssey to make 3D Mario really work there.Damn, I was looking forward to more dungeons.
I think Honest Game Trailers did a good review of BOTW. He liked it more than I did, but it's a good summary IMO:
also i believe the base version of bloodborne was one of the free monthy PS Plus games some time agoThey'll probably both go on similar sales at some point next year too. Here are their price histories on PSN:

It was, but you buy PS Plus? I'm too old to be good at online shooters so I pass on that tbh.
nah, i dont have PS Plus. before my gaming hiatus i was pretty big on the COD stuff, so i was all about online gaming. but that was free on the PS3.
and now im looking forward to just taking my time and exploring the big single player les. dont have a need for online stuff (though i've also read that bloodborne is a quasi-online game or somethin like that, i'm sure you can expand on that).
Bloodborne has player vs player if you're into that and you can summon other players to your game for co-op action. A lot of people do it for boss fights, but it seems like a waste IMO since you're getting rid of the challenge that way.
Id play GOW first. Much better story and slightly better combat.
oh i'm sure it has much better combat. combat was never the strong suit of rockstar games. and its the staple of god of war.
tbh, RDR2 wasn't halfway bad... sure, it starts a bit slow, but I mixed up side-missions with the main quest and it was pretty good... Rob just probably having flashbacks/nightmares when he was crossing the Rio Grande on his pony, IMO.
GOW is just the GOY though, just one of those games you don't want it to end.
Got me BOTW for the Switch too over the weekend, so I'm heading out for the holidays with that and Mario, will see what the hype is all about.
BTW, finished Hitman 2 in like 4 hours last night. Totally 'rent it' if you can, not worth a buy, too short.
That's the way it should be IMO. Some of the side missions were better than the story missions and absolutely essential to the storyline/character development IMO. Others were typical Rockstar fluff with quirky characters, etc.
tbh the first hour+ of RDR2 is painfully slow... its almost all cinematics at this point as you slowly walk to follow another character. early on when they talk about the train, i was thinkin "oh, finally something exciting" and it was a letdown. short and dreadfully easy.
also the controls feel clunky, but that's just going to take adjustment. still have to get used to all these different item types and different things i gotta pay attention to (health/stamina... not only meters but also the cores. just seems tedious imo). its like in San Andreas when u had to pay attention to what your character ate and had to hit the gym and stuff. felt more like a chore than anything.
but obviously i'm not writing the game off yet. but at this early juncture, its just a pretty $60 wall painting
You gotta go into the settings and turn the acceleration and sensitivity to the max and turn the dead zone way down in the controller settings. Out the box the control is awful IMO.tbh the first hour+ of RDR2 is painfully slow... its almost all cinematics at this point as you slowly walk to follow another character. early on when they talk about the train, i was thinkin "oh, finally something exciting" and it was a letdown. short and dreadfully easy.

Mario is the one you could actually finish in 30-40 hours. BOTW IMO sucks if all you want to do is run through the main story and finish it quick. The good part is just aimless exploration, but then you're probably looking at a 150 hour or so game.
fckin double post
i'm not necessarily referring to the character movement, i can deal with that. just talkin about going through inventory, drawing weapons, etc.
even picking up/looting items is unnecessarily time consuming
If you don't mind digital the Playstation Store just put God of War on sale for $28. The store sucks about updating though so you have to add it to your cart to see the sale price.
