since there's no thread for it yet and info coming out for it this month gets lost in the shuffle, is anyone thinking about making a separate thread for Spider-Man? I might do it tomorrow if nobody else wants to.

Only if this is in the OP

Yeah, I'm not sure why they're talking it up when Double Dragon did it literally 31 years ago. Doing a continuous shot through GoW's traditional fights with monsters 10-100 times your size will require some careful artistry and giving up prerendered cutscenes would require some technical work but I don't see it as a game-changing breakthrough either.

Okay, I think I'm already done with Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Wasn't expecting the game to take its stupid "narco state" plot and setting so seriously. Very cringeworthy. Some real whiplash after just completing Far Cry 5. Plus, compared to Far Cry, the graphics are really ugly.

Doom’s concept of some future megacorp trying to privatize Hell was hilarious and I hope they do more with that in the future.

Am I remembering right that Hayden says Earth has come to rely on the energy? Like destroying all this argent infrastructure basically fucks over Earth (dooms Earth one might say)?

The more 10/10 ratings a game gets the more careful I am in trusting them. Like a 10/10 should be ridiculously hard to get.

I'll buy the GOWTY. Next up for me is Yakuza 0 anyway.

I mean if the game really is a 10/10, a lot of reviewers are gonna give it that score. that's just... how it works? it's not like they're all playing a different game. idk man

Sources say God of War is a 10/10 game!! People preorder, pay $139 collector edition, leave feeling ripped off. Many such cases!

I played the first 3 god of wars and they were okay, but they went a completely different route with this one. It's like a different style of game with the same character

sounds like a real departure from Far Cry 5, a game famously silly and unobtrusive in its story telling

A game getting good reviews seems to have sparked a lot of arguments in this thread.

Honestly, I’m looking forwards to when Ubi perfects the “take apart an organization in an open world” game. Between GRW last year and FC5 they’ve been iterating on it well and I think they’ll nail it soon enough.

I think the skepticism is understandable. The last time something like this happened was with MGS5, which no matter how good you might think it is has some pretty noticeable flaws. Nothing wrong with waiting a couple weeks for things to simmer down a little.
