I don't think the new Spiderman game is all that great. It's graphically superior sure, but it's just another reiteration on the Batman formula. No one has come out with a fresh take since Arkham Asylum which flipped the script of super hero games.

Horizon Zero Dawn is average at best.

Crysis 1's second half isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It's still great.

Nahkapukki that "lukewarm" joke is super bad and amazing at once *applauds*

The Final Fantasy XIII trilogy are the best FF games since VIII. I feel as though all three have such superb battle systems, far and above everything thats come before, AND after, and whilst it gets criticism at it's linearity (XIII especially) it's somewhat a breath of fresh air for me, with the sheer amount of OW titles these days.

Final Fantasy VIII > VII

i actually really like XIII and XIII-2 (haven't played LR yet, but i'm sure i'll like it as well) ... they're just enjoyable to play

plus, you know, time travel (in 2) and shit ;)

Clearly a man of refined tastes :p You should 100% give LR a go at some point, it really changes up the battle formula, as all roles are taken on by lightning, and it makes some of the bosses super challenging, and the countdown-timer in game gave me super Majora's Mask vibes, honestly loved it ^^

Uncharted 3 and 4 are not fun and only worth playing for the character interactions between Drake, Elena, and Sully. Their stories are the only ones that are appealing.

Dukrn nukem forever isnt a disaster of game especially after the patches to hold more than 2 weapons. The game also came at a time when everything was trying to be gears of war,halo or call of duty. So it was a welcomed change.
yeah, i agree ... it really isn't a bad game ... or at least i had fun with it back in the day
My problem with DNF is that it actually tried to be Halo. The regenerating Ego, initial 2 weapon limit, all that crap was an attempt at being a Halo-esque game. It also didn't really understand what made Duke 3D so memorable (interactivity, jokes that were actually funny back then, etc.).
Of course that I had a lot of hype for DNF, so that probably affects my view of the game and I'll never be able to look back on it fondly due to that (I'd love to get my hands on the 2001 build that the current 3D Realms guys said was actually playable).
I paid $3.50 for DNF a year or two after it released and after beating it I have to say the years of trailers in the extras looked like way more fun than what Gearbox seemingly forced 3D Realms to release. It isn't a totally garbage game, it functions, but it is painfully average. The rc car going through the casino/Rapture knockoff was decently fun but that was pretty much it. I later played a bit of Duke 3D and the 2d duke games and found them both way better.
