lol IGN has been retard-level poo poo for years. I sympathize with anyone who reads them for anything. You'd be better off reading the indepth takes on even Kotaku, Destructoid, or Eurogamer

6.7 where the gently caress do these fractional numbers come from, is this Polygon

nintendo is kind of coming into a generation where non-exclusive AAA games are kind of getting less interesting. FINANCIALLY they will hurt from not having mass effect but like. do i give a gently caress about ghost recon wildlands or for honor? no. dgaf about metal gear survive

at this point its all about sony having horizon, persona 5, nioh

nintendo having zelda, mario, splatoon

Woah, they're making a movie based on Sleeping Dogs. I know the developer went kaput but maybe this means they're making another game with a different studio?

I can't decide whether I should be playing Horizon or Breath of the Wild

Folks, I've just bought a Switch and I don't like the feel of the Joy-Cons too much. If I sell 'em and buy a Pro controller, am I likely to regret it at any stage? Is it necessary in any way to have at least one set with the machine?

I'm never likely to have local multiplayer in the house, nor will I be playing the console outside its cradle, if that makes things simpler.

I'd rather have poo poo textures and high frame rate than the other way around, personally.

You're opening a can of worms with one of the few existing pad gamers who doesn't use auto aim and could easily compete at high tiers of play against kb+m players. Just a heads up.

haha good, at this rate the game is enjoyable enough but the aspect of route 2 so far for me is less about "oh this new combat is fun" and more about "ok when will things pick up and I can stop retreading things". so I've been anxious about when things truly diverge

the bad w3 ending is where ciri is emperor instead of a witcher with her mom and dad living in the woods right

This. I never thought of MGSV as an open world, more like a hub that happened to house other random things to find and the overall map where other missions took place. It was kind of annoying calling the helicopter and not being able to simply fast travel to another map location without going ALL the way home, though. Even with that plus the grind to get certain, totally optional weaponry (you can beat most of the game with very basic tools except maybe the godawful boss battles) it still stands out as one of the best stealth action games ever. To this day I still get disappointed when I can't go from a run to a leaping dive and into a roll in any 3rd person shooters. Honestly that's partially why I tried Wildlands thinking it would be like MGSV and being incredibly put off by how stiff and lovely it was. Any game like that just feels stiff after playing MGSV.

I like it a lot. Three zones in, haven't really gotten frustrated with it yet. No shortage of deaths but they're almost always educational in some way. Game doesn't explain itself at all so you either need to pay really close attention or be willing to go looking for tips online

The negative criticism are 100% accurate but I'm also liking it for some reason even though my tastes tend to reflect aggregate metacritic scores. Slugcat should be renamed as Sluggish Cat because of how clumsy he controls when he's trying to enter screen transitions and you can totally get screwed by RNG because everytime you die monster spawns are shuffled. That said it was fun sharing discoveries with lets hang out in IRC last night. Early game discussions when stuff hasn't been thorougly datamined and spreadsheeted on gamefaqs is fun at first and it captures that
