They seem to do a few heavy hits and then flood with a bunch indie/small development games. Yea and their E3 conferences are normally a snooze fest. Insert re-hashed franchise here (Gears of War, Halo, etc) then a bunch of small indy games that I don't care about. Oh yeah, can't forget about Forza.. gotta have that. Granted, I'm not too excited about most Playstation exclusives because those games look boring as well (for the most part), but Xbox is just in such bad shape in terms of exclusives. They really need Sea of Thieves to be a huge success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The community should be huge for it being that that PC and Xbox players will be able to link up. Also read somewhere that itll be a free to play upon release for those with Xbox Game Pass.

I didn't get a chance to play it because I'm really skeptical about the game, so I haven't pre-ordered it yet. And yes, good point about the PC/Xbox integration. It's great that PC and Xbox are trying to do this as much as possible, I just wish Sony wasn't so against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(B) not linear at all. (C) has a much better Pokemon league. Give us a long tournament like in the anime!

Danger Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I am an Xbox fanboy admittedly, but I have ZERO interest in Sea of Thieves. Looks boring af. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have no shortage of them in 2018, either: God of War, Shadow of the Colossus remake, Spider-Man, Days Gone, Shenmue 3, Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima and (give or take) Death Stranding.

I'm sure the original The Last of Us scored very well, but that game was extremely boring. Naughty Dog has always done a great job making the gamer feel a connection to the character and they always have engaging stories with games that look great graphically. With all that said, the game had no replay-ability for me. It's the perfect game to Redbox for like 2-3 days and beat it then never play it again. God of War is very meh. Spider-Man looks really good, but I can Redbox that and beat it in probably 12-15 hours. Bloodborne is a great example of a terrific PlayStation exclusive. That game is awesome. The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc.... Those games are bland and honestly not really all that fun. Most of these games are just the same re-hashed things over and over again. It's just not interesting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansNvolsR#1 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Looking forward to Metroid Prime 4, Yoshi, hopefully a Switch Smash announcement, and maybe BotW or Odyssey DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care for the meta stuff being too important as I don't do EV/IV stuff. But just raise the levels and make it more challenging. Even if it'd unlocked after beating the elite 4 once... please Nintendo. Sun/Moon were the worst in the series by far... couldn't go 5 minutes in the first 3 hours without being told what to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just started a new save on HG after Crystal came out on the virtual console... tried that for 2 hours and figured i may as well play the new version lol. I have been way too distracted playing Stardew so I haven't gotten far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not interesting to me. I've never disagreed with a post so much in my life lol. That said, opinions are gonna opinion I guess. Though, since when is replay-ability the measure of a good game? If that's the case then every single player game ever sucks IMO. I have no interest in replaying single player games, I think I've replayed maybe 4 or 5 single player games in my life. I don't really get that complaint. Also while you might've found past God of War games very meh (I would agree with you there), this one looks so much different and have almost no clue how it'll play and be. So it's pretty premature to write it off. I'm excited for it, but it's definitely in my "wait for impressions and reviews, buy a week after it comes out if they say good things" box.

Now this is a good opinion right here. 2 regions, the elite 4, Pokemon following you, etc. HG/SS is the best and it's all been downhill since. I did enjoy B/W and B2/W2 though, and haven't played Pokemon since them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
