  1. I need to go back and get Gold on my licenses. I really do try to get into GT7, but those "realistic racing physics" don't always translate to "fun." My eyes start drooping in the middle of a race. I don't personally feel like technically, the graphics are better in GT7, but Turn10 really dropped the ball in the artistic direction in the new Forza. The graphics are great but the tracks are so fucking boring that it's really hard to get excited about the racing. GT7 tracks, to me, don't really look technically better, but they're way more interesting.
  2. Sure, but that was back when I only got like, one game a year and replaying games was a way of life. I would probably play through this Contra more than once... maybe. Some day.
  3. I've had this on the Switch for a while now. Looks great on the small screen, but ehhh.... dunno about playing the first one on a large tv.
  4. I didn't laugh, but I did have a flashback of being about 8 years old and beating Contra on the NES for the first time. It was about a day or two after my mom bought it for me, and I was all excited that I beat it so I ran up and told her. Her response was a very annoyed, "Already?!" I get it now.
  5. The thing about Ghost Recon is that every two iterations were uniquely different, but still felt the same. They were essentially "GR", then "GR standalone expansion". Ghost Recon and Island Thunder/Jungle Strike/Desert Siege were the OG slow methodical military sim. Ghost Recon 2 and GR2 Summit Strike went third person, but was still very much the one shot-one kill, tactical shooter GRAW1 and GRAW2 went full shaky-cam sim, but the multiplayer still somewhat retained the GR2's co-op and pvp (even if it wasn't as good) But then after GRAW2, things kinda went off-track and got... weird. GR Future Soldier was this weird, cinematic action game, with probably the worst multiplayer of any GR ever. GR Wildlands was pretty fun, but like others have said, was essentially "Ubisoft: The Game." I don't even know what the hell GR Breakpoint was, and I put 50+ hours into that game. Personally, as someone who has followed the series since the beginning, I wish they would take inspiration from the GR2 and GR2 Summit Strike era. That was the point which I think they had the perfect blend of tactics and action. Every mission in that game could be played in co-op with up to 16 people, and we would turn off respawns so that our numbers would slowly be dwindling as the mission went on. To add to the tension, we didn't have party chat at that time, so when someone died, they were booted back to the lobby and no longer participated in the game chat. So they would go silent. What would start out as a fun, rowdy group would slowly get quieter and quieter until it was only a few people left, or you were completely alone in silence. They could watch you, but you couldn't talk to them or hear them, so you were quite literally alone. It was up to you to try to finish the mission. And if you failed, you were greeted by a room full of boos when you were booted back to the lobby with everyone else. GR2 Summit Strike still stands alone as THE BEST online gaming experience for me. We played that game every night for a good year or so. THAT is what I want Ubisoft to tap into. But alas, sadly those days will never return.
  6. I remember when you used to have to plot a waypoint for your B-squad, but then you had to micromanage them so that they didn't go to point B straight through the armed artillery convoy. No, motherfuckers, not over the hill! Around the hill. AROUND the hill.
  7. Oh don't get me wrong. Alone in the Dark is being put out to die. Which is ironic cuz the main reason they delayed it was to get it away from Alan Wake II.
  8. Ugh.. I like 60fps, but 30 is usually okay for big open worlds and slower action... but an uncapped 30? What the fuck is that all about? That tells me "45fps in a small room" and "25fps everywhere else". I was on the fence about getting this on console or PC, but it looks like I'll be hitting up the PC version, unless the specs are ridiculous.
