I think I might be there with you. A lot of my favorite franchises are either gone or nothing like they used to be (MGS, Resident Evil, and no idea what the heck they did with Final Fantasy).
- Totally different people making FF games now. They arent even FF games. Theyre some weird modern knockoff.CygnusZero4

Tomb Raider Definitive Edition
It's a bit old but I just picked this up on a whim for the ps4 and I'm actually quite enjoying it. There's not a steep learning curve like some games these days so you can pretty much start playing and enjoy it. The controls are very intuitive (except combat sometimes) which I think has always been this franchise's strong point. And the game just looks good in hi-def. Only issue was the timed button press events which I've never been a fan of but the game doesn't penalize you much for getting them wrong. Played it for a solid couple hours last night which doesn't happen much for me with games these days.
- Playing it as well, has a similiar mechanic to batman origin/asylum.
Those quick time events coupled with the mostly obtrusive screen effects are so lamedorkKn1ght - Have you figured out why sometimes it auto-aims but sometimes it doesn't? especially with hunting.SteveJobs
- HA it theoretically should also auto aim on your opponent if you successfully dodge too. Those shield guys are a pia.dorkKn1ght
- Finally finished it. The gameplay mechanics are spot-on, but the story was a little cliche and the adventure became monotonous midway though. I give it a B+SteveJobs
- Will get the new one coming out soon later down the road though for sure.SteveJobs
- Hellya, It's got a Indiana Jones vibe to it. Can't wait to finish this game and move onto the sequel.dorkKn1ght

A dissection of the rendering in GTA5.
I can't get my head around quite how much happens 20+ times a second..!
- i have no patience to read all that. is there a tl:dr version?CygnusZero4
- You're an XBOne owner, no?
You can just look at the pictures.

This is mind-boggling to me though.I come from an era where Spectrum coders had to tolerate some of their barely few 8 colours fucking overlapping each other due to .. well, it all being a bit shit.
I mean, fucking look at these two bi tone bastards...
And yet here we have, thirty years later, a card doing what appears to be 20-odd high-computing passes on a high-resolution screen, 20-fucking-plus times a second.
Christ, on a good GPU, 60 times .
It really is incredible.

The fallout pipboy app is here.

I bought COD Black Ops III (PC) because nearly every game magazine said it's good and the best COD for a long time.
Well, good for COD doesn't mean good game, apparently. It's the same rail shooter shit as usual, bullets from nowhere, every action is scripted. Game feels like a movie, where you sometimes have to press buttons. Voice acting is cringeworthy ultra patriotic shit.
Graphics are good, for 2012.
5/10, disappointment. Shouldn't have bought.
- still haven't forgiven them for Advanced Warefare, that game really pissed me offBluejam
- You work in advertising/design and you believe the media? :)Maaku
- was funny how they cast stabler from svu. kept on thinking mariska hargitsgay or whatever her name is to pop up. the new zombies is bananas, kida the only reasorhinorrhea

On the other Hand, this month is great!
Fallout 4, which I will buy later because I don't have time right now for such a huge game.
Then there is Anno 2205 which is a lot of fun so far and looks beautiful.
Star Wars for those who like it, pretty 50/50 since beta.
Just Cause 3, on Dec. 1st. Looks like a bit of sandbox fun, sadly without multiplayer, but mods will solve that hopefully.
Warhammer The End Times: Vermentide is very cool, esp. when co-oping with friends. Can recommend!
Rainbow Six: Siege. Beta was meh to me, lets have a look at the finished game.
- RainbowSix isn't too bad. I've always been bugged (with all their games) by the texture mapping. Game mechanics are a bit odd.futurefood
- I played Beta and the mechanics were cool and the loadout was nice and all but it just wasn't fun for me :-(mekk
- marketing for SW got me hypedscarabin
- wasn't blown away by the beta. kinda turned it into cod, i suppose that was bound to happen though. very disappointed about the lack of campaign moderhinorrhea

Fallout 4 is turning into a huge timesink - I've hit that spot where, a few levels in, I have a relatively decent set of armour and range of weapons that allow me to wander around without getting into too much bother.
The construction mechanic has the potential to be both incredible and absurd, I saw a guy on Twitch test it out by seeing if pre-fab stairs could snap to each other - which they did, so he proceeded to build a tower of stairs 10-12 flights high, with no apparent ceiling limit. Castles. In. The. Sky.

10 hours into fallout 4. Its ok. Exactly what I expected, more of the same and doesnt have that wow feeling that FO3 had.
Story is hot garbage, graphics are pretty meh, look last gen, not even remotely close to as good looking as GTA5, some nice gameplay tweaks here and there, but its basically FO3.5. Doesnt really feel like a next gen big time FO sequel. Hopefully the next elder scrolls delivers.
