Inspired to make this topic by The Crew 2, which I love. The map is ungodly huge, and just cruising around taking screenshots is really relaxing and enjoyable. But reaction from fans and critics has been much more mixed, and a lot of people are pointing out how there just isn't a whole lot to do in this big world at launch. Ubisoft has set out a "road map" for post-launch content, but right now I totally get why other players feel it won't keep their attention.

Honestly, one feature (which was in the DLC for the first game and has been teased as a possibility here) would make this a 10/10 game for me. But I can't really argue with the people who are pissed that this game doesn't have PVP at launch

Kingdom Hearts

Some people aren't too keen on the story because they either can't follow it or believe it's too convoluted. Then there's the fact that it was released on different systems with a continuing story. They made playstation 3 and 4 collection sets, but I have encountered people who have been turned off already.

Prototype series. Those games are just raw fun. Same with Saints Row 4

I agree with The Crew series too. It's the only racing game that holds my attention for more than a couple hours. Ill probably buy 2 when it's around 40$

Souls franchise

this series is, hands down, the pinnacle of vidya gaems for me. it has it all: gripping gameplay, intense battles, sense of accomplishment, world building, character building/growth, atmosphere.

but i know a lot of people who have given it an honest chance and it just doesn't click.

Dungeon Fighters Online

I wish more people played this game and the community is better/larger. I love beat em up games and I'm sure everyone loves them too but no one wants to commit to it. Online Beat Em Up with RPG elements, what's not to like? I thought people loved Final Fight and Streets of Rage... guess they only loved them verbally.

Alpha Protocol

It's got a lot of problems, but I look past them cause the game is so unique and your agency in the world is just awesome.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided

Mayhaps my thoughts on it are based on me having spent 10 bucks to play it rather than full price at launch, but fuck me I loved it.

Hearts of Iron 3

Micromanagement out the ass, a terribly user-unfriendly UI, and one of the steepest learning curves I've ever seen for a game, but it's so nice once everything is evened out

Also the Earth Defense Force series. Those games fucking suck but they're so bad they're good, another series I've invest a lot of hours into. It's the closest approximation to playing a B-movie that exists.

Playing as wing diver is the best. Love it.

Explain what this mean


any time a fictional world/universe is created various things come together to "build" the world. everything from the flora and fauna to the weather to the lore to the characters to the history etc.

like how Star Wars and Lord of the Rings created these universes so vast they literally fill encyclopedias

Agents of Mayhem. I bought this game when it came out and loved it. I even sprang for the DLC just to have some more characters. It's one of only (I think) 6 games that I bothered to get all the achievements for.

But I also understand that it's repetitive in a lot of ways and probably would have been a lot better if it wasn't open world. But the car talks to you!

DOA XBV (the volleyball parts) - People take it as an eye candy game, which it is, but the volleyball game is actually pretty fun. It strikes a nice balance between strategy and simplicity.

@Lost_All_Senses Rebirth is on sale right now on Steam for like $9 bruv. Absolutely worth it. The base game has 100s of hours of content alone, and the 2 DLCs even moreso. Absolutely recommended, it's one of my all time favorite games.


I have a couple hundred hours into BOI. One of my favorites.

Fable 1 and 2 are great, Fable 3 is one of the most dissappointing games I've ever played in my life.

i thought 3 was alright, just short

Spider-Man 2 no joke is one of my favorite games lol. But I understand the many problems people have with it. Its mostly nostalgia/reverence, but that was a big/important game to me and I still enjoy going back to it nowadays.

Edit: also nobody has outdone the web slinging in that game. Really looking forward to the ps4 game tho :3

I'll man up and admit I like the whole series, all the parts. I think a lot of the hate it gets is from people projecting their insecurity.

Any word on an English release for Scarlet Grace?

I came into the topic to say Unlimited SaGa. I think it's super amazing, but it's also such a massive chore to get into so I definitely understand when people dismiss it out of hand.

Shift 2: Unleashed

I used to be a big hater of this game for years until I found some controller adjustments and car tuning guides that made driving more tolerable. This is definitely not a beginner friendly racer like most games and failing to spend time calibrating different settings will lead to nothing but frustration. Adding to the frustration is the fact that EA apparently patched steering lag on the PC, but chose to ignore the console version citing that the patch was too big to bother porting over.
