For me, Terminator Resistance was a real sequel to the Terminator 1-2 movies, I was just blown away by how good the game was.
+Amazing atmosphere that makes you feel like you are playing your part in the Terminator films. The last battle was epic.
+Rewarding exploration and fun combat. It takes time to upgrade your character and laser weapons to the point where you can take out T-800s with ease, but it's worth it.
+The T-800s in this game are very tough and can be scary exactly like the first terminator film.
-Graphics isnt the worst because it's UE4 after all, but there are imperfections like blury textures and poor facial animation.
Overall it was easily 9/10 from me.

My wife & I have let it grow on us and I've been more critical of ToTK. However, just having fun which is why I got into gaming eons ago.

All Dontnod games even the ultra woke Tell Me Why.
All Ninja Theory games.
Those two consistently made games with more heart than the cynical AAA machine that I can overlook most flaws.

Exo Primal:
It's a flawed game that has some really frustrating things.... But it's also quite fun and addictive for me.
Wo Long:
In many ways a huge downgrade from Nioh 1 and 2, yet the combat is top notch and entertaining.
MGSV:
Incomplete and a mess... However, the gameplay is just perfect.

Godfather 2 fits well here. The graphics were downright shit, it was packed with glitches and the cars handled like 4 wheel turds. There was some good music but there could have been a lot more and the length of the game was far too short.
However, I got really addicted to that game. I liked the strategy of choosing your gang members based on their attributes building up your crew accordingly. The strategy of which businesses to take first and how to defend them was also a lot of fun.
I wish there would be a remake only done well and made a lot longer.

StarCraft 2. Despite letting me down in so many ways from the Brood War fandom days, I kept playing it as recently as last week.
It's like the shiny graphics easy to play version for washed up players who don't care anymore and just want to be entertained for 20 minutes.
I just play a custom game and a pretend the new story never happened.

I loved Recore at times it's was a wonderful blend of games like Tomb Raider and Metroid , but the choice of Unity basically just killed it performance wise on the XBox One and the game difficultly needed a bit more work

I was thinking about the fact that even if i could see so many flaws in a game like Final Fantasy XV, i really enjoyed the entire experience from going through all the things released about that world / characters: anime, movie, the game (with all the updates released, not the day one version), all DLCs with all characters, etc.
You can still feel a much bigger game trying to show up, but it simply fails at doing so. Going through cities that are 100% made...but with plenty of places you never visit was frustrating...the story is fragmented and missing a lot of pieces. But still, in the end i ended up spending like 70 hours with it, and even got the Platinum, lol. There's something about it i really enjoyed, from the road trips, to the team that's with us every step of the way, etc. The group is honestly great and by the end of the game i was attached to the characters tbh.
I'd much rather play this again than plenty of +90 metacritic games tbh.
What about you?
same here, i like FF XV and spent many hours on it. for me.
i'm also like FF XVI as well, despite many flaws, but still good for me, if not, one of the best this year for me
there are lot of cool games but sadly not many like it.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I played OG Metro 2033 once and have no recollection, but have played Redux many times. I am tempted to checkout the OG version again.

Splinter Cell Conviction
I think it's actually one of the best in the series. Invented marking enemies, copied in many games. The quick shot is great. The cover system remains the best cover system I've ever used in a game, with slick animations to run from cover to cover. Blacklist is the better game but it's just building on everything innovated in Conviction. And I like the interrogation stuff. 24 is one of my favorite series of all time, and this game was trying to emulate that. They were on the right track but people were too conservative with the name "Splinter Cell" and their negativity ended up killing the whole series.

I really liked the parkour in Assassin's Creed: Unity and think the game still looks stunning today. It's lighting is incredible considering when it came out.
I didn't like it more than Chaos Theory, but I thought it was an awesome game and it ended up being my second favorite in the series. It was the absolute best 24 video-game not called 24. And I say that as a passive fan of 24 at best, having watched only maybe the first 3 seasons(which I enjoyed). Conviction was very cool, though I'll say I was interested in what they originally pitched for Conviction at the time too and couldn't help but wonder if that would have been more like Chaos Theory. I spent a lot of time on the 360 version though. I should replay it again on PC.

I'll say I really remember the shotgun being really standout and fun to use. The combat in general worked pretty well for the game and it was an improvement over 2.I'm playing Mafia 3 at the moment, and this game is a real hidden gem for me. I can understand critics, because the game is clearly broken, for example, you cannot start or finish certain missions (restarting the game and trying again helps most of the time). I feel that developers never finished this game even once, because you just cant ingore obvious problems this game has if you just play it. Despite its flaws, I still like mafia 3 simply because the world in this game is extremely detailed and beautiful, so playing this game is like being transported back to the 60s in a time capsule.
+Awesome soundtrack (only the GTA VC soundtrack can match it).
+An amazing story.
+Fun combat and stealth (enemy AI isnt good though, you can kill almost everyone and they still walk like nothing happened)
+Car driving in this game is very satisfying.
It took me many hours before I mastered car driving in this game, but once I did it it was a pure joy to drive in this game (with realistic driving settings). The correct use of the handbrake and brakes is key, and once you master it you can cut corners like in bullitt film (or Fast & Furious tokyo drift). I just wish the missions in this game were more varied (like in GTA games). Also, a good crafting mechanic and resource menagement would change this game completely, as it would give the player a motivation to explore this beautiful world and indoor locations. IMO the developers who created the Mafia 3 map / graphics have done a fantastic job, but the game director for some strange reason ruined their efforts by making this game so shallow. Mafia 3 had the potential to not only compete with GTA5, but to surpass it. It's still fun game, but not as good as it could be.
-Unacceptable game-breaking bugs.
-Repetitive "missions".
-Lack of good ideas to make player more invested into exploration.
-TAA in this game is just horrible, it makes everthing blurry.
"Reshade" helps a lot in this game. Not only does it help with 60Hz lock and input lag (you need to change the ForceDefaultRefreshRate line in reshade.ini to "1"), but it also fixes blurry image without destroying the game's color grading and artistic intent. I recommend to use CAS and lumasharpening filters at the same time, because only then you can get sharp edges without artificial look (ringing).

Yes it was super short - finished it in one sitting, but it was also like 2 bucks or something on steam when I got it.
I thought the atmosphere was well executed. I'm clearly the only person on the planet who thought the video/documentary effect was neat.
It was a fun one-night fling and I was perfectly satisfied with my purchase.
And I've had absolutely no desire to revisit it since.

You've got to run through all of 24 sometime. I rewatched it last year and it still holds up. It just keeps getting better. 5 and 8 are my favorite seasons.

Is Greedfall worth $11 for the deluxe edition?

I'd say so. Very much a Dragon Age Inquisition Bioware type of game so if you like that then you'll probably enjoy Greedfall.

Everytime a thread like this comes up i'd just have to mention Killer7.
Unique in every facets.
Also, Enter The Matrix. However short i enjoyed it a lot.

Redux pretty much fixed the game, og metro had no stealth because it was that bad, shooter was pretty eurojank though the og metro did give you way less ammo though, pretty sure currency were bullets that did more damage

I am glad I have seen Mafia 3 mentioned on here a few times. I really enjoyed the game even though it had its flaws. Not playing it straight through helps IMO, so you do not get burned out on some of the repetitiveness.
The presentation of the game as a documentary format is great, the setting and soundtrack is amazing, and some of the bosses are really fun to encounter.

Played the hell out of this game as a kid. Thought it was cool that it had real scenes too.

Alone in the Dark: Inferno
Silent Hill: Homecoming
TRAG (Hard Edge)
Vampire Hunter D
White Knight Chronicles
There's so many good games out there that were written off and are kind of lost to time.

Final Fantasy XIII comes to mind. The first 20 hours took me 3 months to get through, but once I reached Gran Pulse I spent like 80 hours in 2 weeks just doing all the hunting quests, achievements, etc.
I fully understand and agree with all the criticism this game gets, but I absolutely loved running around Gran Pulse and killing stuff. Also, the music in the game is great.
