So this is fucking hilarious for those who have Watch_Dogs: someone found that all the shit that made the game look so good while they were previewing it in 2012 and 2013 (but appeared to be missing from the final release) is still in the game, Ubisoft just disabled it for some fucking reason, even on the PC version. Here's the kicker, though: it actually makes the game run better some people claim.



All you do is download this tiny zip and follow the readme, and you get:

For me, its gameplay, lasting appeal, and in some cases whether its interesting or not. But the most important is if it doesn't require so many things to be fun for the player.
Games like Call of Duty are alright when playing with friends, but I wouldn't say its great story-wise since everyone seems to focus on the multiplayer of Call of Duty for most of their time. It's fun nonetheless, but not a game I could play by myself.
Another thing I'd like to see in games is that they shouldn't require multiplayer or internet to be fun. For example, one time I got Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 for my Wii, and the only offline i could play was campaign. The spec ops mode and the multiplayer both required internet. There wasn't even any splitscreen on it, which was really disappointing. It's not terrible, but it would've been nice to see that gaming companies aren't so caught up with their multiplayer that they forgot to make the single player more interesting. The game would be boring as fuck if you didn't have any internet.
I personally want to find fun games that don't rely on internet connection so much so that people who don't have good internet can't enjoy the game.

It looks way too good to be on xbox.

That's why I mostly play open world games like assassins creed, GTA, and Watch Dogs.

The games aren't dictated by multiplayer, even if the multi is fun as well.

So most FPS games are useless if you beat the campaign, and have no internet or console memberships. The borderline series is the only FPS I know that actually keeps you amused without the need of intetnet.

Campaign I'm not paying 60 for a game with a weak campaign, unless it's a fighter
Multiplayer Same, but a bit more lenience.
Graphics Meh, I'm a bit skewed here, I can nit pick animation and gameplay mechanics all day but I could care less about graphics unless they're n64 tier, or they can't pull off n64 tier
Soundtrack It certainly does cross my mind if I'll hear KH tier music or the classic movie/COD tier DUUUN DUUN DUUN
E3 Hype I don't watch e3 most the time unless FFXV/KH/Tekken or something interests me, so I couldn't care less for this
Gameplay Well yeah, this is the ending decider
Originality Eeeeh it's always nice
Simplicity Eeee it's some times nice
Characters If they dont get turned into fucking annoying shits like every fandom does whit everything then yeah, I like em alot and love to see em

Gameplay. Multiplayer and story usually gets me too, but only if it plays well. Like Assassin's Creed 1-Revelations or Battlefield

Molgera- COD Ghosts is much much better than MW3(sucks) and it's actually fun to do offline multiplayer against bots

Mizu-Have you tried Anarchy Reigns? it's not a typical fighter like SC though

Soul Calibur isn't your typical fighter so what do you mean?

I love Soul Calibur V

I mean not similar to Mortal kombat or Tekken(I don't know if that's a good comparison I haven't played a Tekken game since Tekken Tag) or MvC3. It's one of those free roam fighters and It's hard to describe so here's a review.



I found 1-1 cage matches to be the most fun here's one

Its a beat em up, not a fighter.

Quote from mizu

Ah, played more like a fighter than God of war or Asura's Wrath outside of the campaign

Doesn't seem like it, looks more like that one anime Castlevania game an archeblade. Not a fighter.

That new Castlevania game looks sweet! anyone know how long the campaign is?
