All Things Video Games & Game Reviews

Hey guys...
Thought we could use a thread to help one another out with purchasing new and used games. Now that the next gen consoles are out and the holiday season will soon be upon us, many new games are going to drop. We've been throwing 'reviews' in several different threads or making new threads for each game. I thought we might like to converge and discuss them as a whole. Whether you're on PS3, 360, PS4, XB one or even a wii, PC and Mac, this is a repository for what you're playing and how you rate it.

Let's try to do a 1-10 scale for each game. Take into account the following:

Storyline
Challenge
Replayability
Graphics
Online functionality
Downloadable content
AI/npc's
Price
Length of gameplay

You can use all or some of those as a guide to score the game. If there are other aspects you'd like to tell as about with your game, please do so. These are just suggentions.

Please note what system, (if necessary i.e. It being exclusive to a system) you're playing on and let us know what you think.

1. Sucks, I'd rather watch Brodie Croyle play as our starter. This game is dogshit.
2. Don't waste your time. It's obviously been programmed by a bunch of chimps with syphilis.
3. I'd rather eat tapioca pudding out of my grandmothers colostomy bag, then stick my tongue in her stoma.
4. Meh, there's really better stuff to do, (like waxing my pubes) but I was lazy.
5. This is kinda like purgatory. It's not the best place to be but it could be worse.
6. Not bad at all... It's like I just scored a BJ from my hot first cousin.
7. Entertaining as all hell, kinda like the feeling where you just drank enough not to puke and can still walk.
8. Buy this game, I'm super-cereal. It's got stuff that makes my nipples tingly.
9. HELL F'ing YEAH! I'd talk more about it but I'm gonna be locked in place for a week just playing this ****er.
10. This game is like godfather two and the empire strikes back joined forces to **** your face off with wow. I'm taking all of my PTO days and going on FMLA.


EDIT: We can also discuss upcoming/all things gaming in here as well.
Enjoy!

Against my better judgment I went ahead and bought it.

It's pretty fun, just not sure it's $50 fun.

Lego Hobbit with the boy. I'm surprised at how much fun we're having with it (I didn't enjoy the Harry Potter Lego series very much).

There's a scene where you're moving up a storm giant solving puzzles as it fights with another stone giant that is pretty awesome.

Ive been going back and forth on this. It's not normally my type of game but it really looks incredible. I may have to give it a shot.

Game Review - Valiant Hearts: The Great War - PS4

Valiant Hearts: The Great War

Rarely did I ever get very invested in smaller games or indie-type games but I was perusing the free offers for my PS Now membership and this title looked interesting.
Valiant Hearts is a 2D side view style of game that focuses on storytelling and puzzles. As you've probably guessed, it focuses on the "video game taboo" subject of WWI. (I really wish a dev group would make a video game focusing on this great, yet terrible war but more on that later).

The game focuses on a group of people banded together across enemy lines by family ties and the strong bonds of friendship carved by warfare. You play as four different characters...
Karl, a German immigrant that was living in France until the start of the war. He was deported and drafted into the German army. He left his wife, newborn son and father in law behind.
Emile, Karl's father in law. He was drafted by the French military as an engineer.
Freddie, Karl's best friend. An american who enlisted in the French army after his wife was killed in a german bombing raid.
Anna, a battlefield nurse who's father was kidnapped by Germans for his scientific knowledge.
Along for the ride is a faithful medic dog, (Doberman) named Walt. He's needed to assist with several puzzles during gameplay and you become quite attached to him, (even though he can get on your last nerve occasionally). Most characters have a common goal, defeat their prime enemy and get home. Karl ends up being a POW and you never really play his character until then, (not really a spoiler).

The gameplay is nothing special, here. The puzzles won't take long to figure out and I almost found them a bit irritating at times because they'd interrupt this game's beautiful story. While the characters are a little cartoonish, it's. It something you really end up caring about. They're drawn beautifully and you can tell the artists were trying to accentuate some stereotypical features of the French and German soldiers. Things like big beards, blonde hair and barrel-chests.
The art designs of battlefields, city backdrops, trenches and weapons really get it right. It gives people that know nothing of this horrid war a slight idea of the misery these men endured. The colors are vibrant but still give it an older feeling by becoming focused on the immediate surroundings.
The soundtrack to this game is extremely appropriate at most times. Dark, beautiful and engrossing. It really sums up what music people listened to in the early 1900's. Now then, there is a level or two that was used as comic relief of sorts and the soundtrack gets a little goofy but it works.

I have to admit that I was extremely amazed when I found out that this is a Ubisoft title. This isn't something they usually do these days. No micro-transactions? You don't need UPlay? No DLC??? WTF? They did something right? Wow!
Now then, I have to say that there is very little replayability here. It's a game you'll play for a couple days, beat it and not go back for a year. It's basically like a good movie. Once you've seen it, it'll take a while before you want to do it again.
On that note, I have to say it was a pleasure to play. Something different for me and as a WWI junkie, I appreciated it.
You can pick this title up for ten bucks and it's well worth it. I give it a solid 8 out of 10. It's hurt a little by the lack of replayability and some of the annoying puzzles that get a little old after a bit. However, a beautiful game and something new from a huge AAA developer. Good for them.

Side note...

Regarding WWI games:
I totally get that the Great War isn't romantic or popular. It was a terrible thing and that's not game material for most COD fanbois. However, if anyone out there has the ****ing balls to finally do it, I'll be your first customer. Think about it, how many of our 14 year old kids know what their great-great grandfathers went through there? One out of fifty maybe?
Tell the story for chrissakes. Let's see what you've got.
Can you imagine a FPS in the trenches, using a parascope? Water-cooled machine guns and zeppelins? Biplanes and mustard gas? Very cool stuff there and worth the time.

I loved Valiant Heart. Superbunnyhop got me on it. I think he was overly critical.

Agreed. I can get with some of the stuff he said but he was a little harsh.

I know, right? Seriously though. They must've had an indie dev work this somehow. It's really pretty damn good man. Worth a look.
