Didn’t like MGSV too much. Felt like it never ended and I was constantly doing the same shit every mission. So much fultoning.
I'm terms of stealth, is it better than splinter cell?Im a fan of the series but for you
I really did like the game despite some flaws though. For fans of mgs and stealth games it's a must play.
- The best action/ stealth gameplay out there. So if feeling like a badass in an open world and mainly small set pieces sounds good to you, go for it as there's a lot of that. But it is repetitive. You have to really like stealth
- Story and narrative wise it's a curve ball. Not as interesting as MGS games tend to be ( to me). But even for gamers in general it may seem a tad off.
For me, it's this generations realisation of a mix between Splinter Cell and MGS gameplay - which is a good thing. I liked SC but always preferred MGS due to the strength it had in its characters and story. However as far as gameplay goes I'd say MGSV is more like SC, just much more advanced and less linear - always felt SC was a tad easy (but great for its time of course).I'm terms of stealth, is it better than splinter cell?
I think I bought the last metal gear but could not get into it for some reason. I'll have to give it another go because splinter cell and stealth games are right up my alleyFor me, it's this generations realisation of a mix between Splinter Cell and MGS gameplay - which is a good thing.

Then I think you'll really enjoy this. Probably more than the previous Metal Gear games which are not everybody's cup of tea. But the people who do like them (like moi) tend to adore them and hence the iconic stature.I think I bought the last metal gear but could not get into it for some reason.

Have you played the new Deus Ex games? I think they're both better as standalone stealth games than MGSV is. Alternatively, the Hitman games are cool and you can be very creative in them.I think I bought the last metal gear but could not get into it for some reason.

I downloaded this last weekend. I've only played about 30 minutes but have enjoyed it so far. I'm waiting until I get a bit more time before carrying on. It's good then yes?I am in the last chapter of A Plague Tale: Innocence. If you want a game focused on a great story and fantastic atmosphere you will not regret getting this - especially if you liked The Last of Us.
You know what? In all my years playing video games I've never actually played a Hitman game. Always one of those games that seem to come about while I'm into something else and never get round to playing them.Alternatively, the Hitman games are cool and you can be very creative in them.
Also, the Afghani desert was pretty much the most boring setting imaginable. After a few hours I got sick of sand (it's coarse and rough and gets everywhere) and quit the game, even though I liked the stealth mechanics and the gameplay.Didn’t like MGSV too much.

Another game that would benefit so much from being fleshed out way more. The whole base thing was a cool idea but ultimately felt totally pointless and empty.Didn’t like MGSV too much. Felt like it never ended and I was constantly doing the same shit every mission. So much fultoning.
I can't speak about the old ones but the new ones are really kinda cool. They feel a lot like puzzle games in how you can approach them. Sometimes they're just plain weird... like dressing as a clown and committing a heinous act while the party is in full swing.You know what?

I downloaded that for free off the PSN the other months and played it through twice on the trot. Really surprising how good that was.Try Detroit become human.
Absolutely great game/movie.
Blood Money is a brilliant Hitman game, highly recommend that one.You know what? In all my years playing video games I've never actually played a Hitman game. Always one of those games that seem to come about while I'm into something else and never get round to playing them.

I'll check it out. I am actually splitting with my partner of 10 years so am getting my own place when ours sells, seems I'll have a lot more time on my hands sometime soon.Blood Money is a brilliant Hitman game, highly recommend that one.
Same here, I was surprised how good it was. It also came with Heavy Rain which I heard was very good, but honestly I didn't enjoy it as much. Playing it straight after Detroit didn't help things (huge decline in graphics for one, but I appreciate that for its time the graphics were amazing) but it also just felt clunky to play. Pretty good story though, I'd recommend it if you don't know any spoilers.I downloaded that for free off the PSN the other months and played it through twice on the trot.

The most recent one was a return to form as well.Blood Money is a brilliant Hitman game, highly recommend that one.
I played Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls when they first came out. They were great then but haven't aged well. It was surprising that Detroit got some pretty lukewarm reviews in comparison.Same here, I was surprised how good it was.

There definitely should be some deals then and on Cyber Monday.Thanks for all the amazing feedback - keep it coming. Black Friday is coming so I imagine there might be some deals, no? I just signed up for Playstation Plus (mostly for my son to play Minecraft online.) I imagine there might be some good Black Friday deals with this, no?
There's also some great cheap indy games on there too for literally a few quid. I've had some of my best gaming moments on these.I just signed up for Playstation Plus

yeah, my play throughs were both very different which is cool. I did start a 3rd play through but didn’t get very far before I realised maybe it wasn’t worth itSame . I thought for free why not and I ended up doing a couple of playthroughs too. It surprised me how much I enjoyed it and how much I actually felt fir the characters.
Just checked out reviews and gameplay for Deus ex, it looked fantastic so I grabbed it.Have you played the new Deus Ex games? I think they're both better as standalone stealth games than MGSV is. Alternatively, the Hitman games are cool and you can be very creative in them.
Tricky one. I'd lost interest in the series many years ago but I love the ancient Greek world and this drew me back into giving this one a go. Combat was ok and the world and the setting is fantastic. The story isn't great but overall i'd say it was a pretty fun game.Assassin's Creed Odyssey : yay or nay? I brought Unity a few years back and was decidedly underwhelmed.
I fecking love Witcher 3! If it's half as good as that, then I'm getting it!Tricky one.

If you liked Witcher 3 and don't mind it being an obvious and not as good clone then you might like this.
It have me an hour or two's worth of enjoyment after which it was all downhill. It might be someone else's cup of tea but I found it largely bland, with a lot that meant very little. I'd pass. But if you don't mind the 'grind' then you may have a different view.Assassin's Creed Odyssey : yay or nay? I brought Unity a few years back and was decidedly underwhelmed.
I'm thinking you may be better off avoiding my suggestions henceforth. I've become very fussy about games in recent years, leaving a lot of games part way once I'm bored with them. Hitman was another one I liked for 4-5 hours but got a bit bored of the formula. The first few missions were great though so if you don't mind more and more of that then it's a solid buy.How about Hitman? Watch Dogs (1 or 2?) I'm checking out Black Friday deals
I got bored of it after a while and did not complete it.Assassin's Creed Odyssey : yay or nay? I brought Unity a few years back and was decidedly underwhelmed.
I second Hitman. It's well made and immersive. The missions are challenging but it's not a game you would play for long periods as it's just well, completing missions. I found it enjoyable to play parts on and off.How about Hitman? Watch Dogs (1 or 2?) I'm checking out Black Friday deals
Hitman's good. I really enjoy the challenge of trying to pull off the perfect hit. The levels are large, and after you've completed the main mission, you can revisit the level in "side" missions with different targets. Or you can go after the main targets to improve your rating, or try to take them out in a different way.How about Hitman? Watch Dogs (1 or 2?) I'm checking out Black Friday deals
It really is a mixed bag imoAssassin's Creed Odyssey : yay or nay? I brought Unity a few years back and was decidedly underwhelmed.
