      I'm not sure I have a preferred perspective. I love well made 2D and 3D games. Viewing a game from a certain angle doesn't really change my level of admiration towards it.

      I don't think that there are/will be very influential games, because we are now much more focused on diversifying gaming experiences. Sure, some games will keep taking pages from some previous games, but I doubt we will see everyone copying something. Battle Royale became the biggest new thing a few years ago and numerous competitive games are still released without this mode.

      Rather easy for me as it's pretty close to my 5 favourite overall. Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9 and the Shenmue remaster are still all on my PS4 and I have Broken Sword downloaded on my Phone here.

      @el-shmiablo @bam541 Yeah mine isn't quite that bad, but it sucks. I get it in some 3rd person games, too. Something to do with the camera movement, but idk what it is.

      @dipset I care about the gameplay and I think Codies succeeds where many racing games have faltered. Looking at it I see that it makes a great effort to be memorable, but also I like how gritty the races feel. The video does make a good point about drifting because it's more awkward than it used to be in prior games, but I found plenty about the game I enjoyed generally. I get it's not a game-changer but it has satisfied me plentifully and I've been waiting for a racing game like this for a while-and this is so much better than DiRT 4 imo.

      Fucking hell... Another example of a studio being dragged down by a few fucked up individuals.

      First thing that came to my mind is using shock gloves rarely in my replays of Batman: Arkham Origins because they make fights so easy and just button spammers.

      Obvious one but Dark Souls II I actually sorta liked it, wounds and all, back in 2014, but I hit a point where I realized I just like the mechanics of Dark Souls but that can only carry me for so long. Some levels had no thought. And I mean no thought whatsoever. I'm not trying to be snarky video game fan #348745 here. I really mean it—some levels were slapped together like words on paper the night before the essay is due. We're talking doorways to nowhere, aimless empty buildings, just pure grouty ugly eye hurting textures. Look at this caca poo poo: I've heard the PS4 version is better and I recently got it on sale so I'm going to give it a try, but it'll take a lot of tweaking to fix the bad levels in this game. I at least hope the disgusting textures and bad lighting are fixed. Ultimately, I'm in no rush to try it, but at least they tried to redeem themselves with the PS4 Scholar of the First Sin release.

      2018 wins for me because of God of War alone. Detroit, Spiderman, Red Dead Redemption 2, AC Odyssey, Celeste, Destiny 2 Forsaken, Dragonball Fighter Z, Smash Ultimate, Tetris Effect, Hitman 2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Spyro Reignited, and a bunch of other stuff was a nice bonus.

      I only listen to music by YouTube and physical CDs, and occasionally Pandora (which I would use more often if I didn't need a VPN to access it).

      Besides some mentioned here I love shifting gravity in Gravity Rush, especially 2 where you can do a pretty long free fall.

      @demonpirate The one game I was expecting to get a remaster on PS4, especially since it came out like what 3-4 months before it?

      The reveal trailer was insanely staged so the delay makes sense but I assumed they were going to just do a one month marketing push. I always prefer the 2-4 weeks campaign anyways. But clearly I was wrong. They gotta get those $27.99 skins ready. Have Season 1-2 locked n loaded before launch.

      Finally got around to finishing the game, and I really love it! It started pretty slow, but as the world opens up more and I begin to grasp the game's mechanics, it clicked real quick with me. It's not a long game, but I certainly took my time with it, it's been a pretty busy month. The game's world is filled with fun puzzles and interesting lore, and as you get more abilities through beating the bosses and completing the collectibles in each area, exploring gets quicker and more fun. Also, having a detective vision thing instead of a traditional map is so cool, and I think it's pretty well executed here, since exploring felt much easier to me with that vision, but it's also most useful only at certain times (when I reach higher ground and can see the entire area). The boss fights start decently with the first boss, but the later ones gets not only more epic in presentation (the soundtrack gets crazy especially, it's such a good OST overall), but also more engaging. It's not the most complex boss fights (think of them as some sort of rhythm puzzle game), but they certainly put up a good challenge since you have to be react/read quick to their actions. Not to mention, each boss fights ends in a pretty touching manner. I said before that this game reminds me a lot of Fumito Ueda's games, and I think it's a great way to describe this game, since it has the same captivating, brave, and mystical spirit, and it's probably the most pleasant aspect of the game for me. The story presentation also felt similarly minimalistic, aside from the side lore stuff. Honestly it would make so much sense if I see Ueda-san's name somewhere in the credits. Overall, this was quite the pleasant surprise. I think the game could benefit from more varied puzzles and objectives, but since it's not a very long game, I don't think it's a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Also, the game ran pretty well on my PS4. I'm a few trophies away from the platinum, so I'll be getting those soon. (9/10)
