Bloodborne is GOAT
Horizon Zero Dawn is awesome and runs on black magic
God of War is good!
Yakuza games own
Nier: Automata is another great game
Sekiro: Shadows die twice comes out next year and looks amazing
Xbone has no games
Some games have boat levels

Videogames are good.

(edit: spelling)

Ohh the edge! Were you asleep for Mass Effect: Andromeda (EA), Battlefront 2 (EA), Sea of Thieves (MS), and Sonic Forces (SEGA)? That's just in the last year off the top of my head.

The only publisher who I think gets an incredibly undeserved pass for their constant buggy POSes are Bethesda. It's really hosed up to me that points aren't docked for "oh that's just how bethesda games are" when I think they should be penalized more heavily for not improving their games to the point where it's a running joke :/

No because it's absolutely nothing like the nemesis system, but if it was that would be pretty awesome.

Yeah this. Seems dumb as hell and limiting to look at a medium that has no real centralized community where anyone can lend their voice to the conversion from all ranges of production quality and write the entire thing off. Some folls are just gonna stick to IGN reviews and faith in publishers I guess.

It had amazing moments but was too grindy. The random street encounters needed to be way less important, the ones in locations were all phenomenal
