(PSLS): Video games based off of existing IPs have had a poor history of relying more on their lineage than actually delivering on a quality product. Thankfully, over the last few years we have been seeing more and more titles come out and show that games tied to other products have the unique ability to dive deeper into worlds that we already know and love. Warner Bros Interactive and Monolith Productions’ Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is a great example of a title that is able to exist in world established in other forms of media, but also deliver in creating a name for itself despite the power of its namesake.
Unfortunately, the open worlds in games like Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, Halo Infinite, and the original Assassin's Creed do more harm than good.
I legitimately loved Halo's switch to open world. They made traversal of the map entertaining, and everything involved just tied into the (what I consider) awesome gunplay.
The entire time I really felt the slow takeover of the map, and all the little steps forward felt satisfying.
I don't know what more people really want there, considering the setting and story. A handful of soldiers hunkered down on enemy territory; slowly trying to win the battle.
I think R* are the only ones who have made compelling open worlds. I can’t stomach most open world games and how boring they are with busy world. It’s like a flex to make this massive environment, but it’s extremely boring to traverse and play in. GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 blew me away with how incredible their worlds were. Elden Ring was the only other game to give me that sense of awe.
I’m back on an open world kick after Horizon. I don’t know what clicked in me but exploring the map and seeing the detail work has me loving open worlds again. Playing AC Odyssey on hard and really enjoying it and the map. Reinstalling RDR2 tonight because damn, that map is just incredible for sightseeing.
Halo Infinite felt off. It's like the developers didn't know what they really wanted to do
Depends on which open world titles u play, most of em are shitty AF, but I honestly admire open world genre, sometimes to just take a break from fighting and missions you explore n see details you haven't noticed before cause you were too busy body at first, then boom finding some dope equipment or things to sale
GF365: "Most games are not perfect and that may be because of a character or an enemy. Here are 10 mediocre bosses in great games."
The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
GF365: "These are the best games based on movies. Every entry on this list will be a great video game adaptation of popular movies."
Great review. Loved the video as it puts the review into perspective. I might give it a go myself.
I cant find out what the resolution and fps on ps4/xone
I have both systems and got it for PS4. It is single player only, and has extra content for PS4 that isn't in XB1, so thats how I went. I'll probably go the other way for Dragon Age and get it for XB1 since it has extras for Microsoft, and has multiplayer.
Yea but im shur xbox will have extra content down the road. And it matters what store you preorder from walmart,gamestop, online thiy all have thir own crap for preorder .
I am really excited to hop into this game! Finally something to draw me away from Destiny.
