AC: Open World
on February 4, 2018
Posted by: rubberbandman

Verified Purchase:Yes
The biggest change from prior AC games is that this one operates as an open world adventure. The map of Egypt is huge and there's lots of side quest to do, so be prepared to devote time to it. I'm still in the middle of the game, but so far I'm enjoying it.

It took 6 years but they finally got it right

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's still a Kindle. It's main purpose is to be a device that pushes Amazon content on you. It's not a replacement for an iPad or any other "real" tablet. That said, Amazon has finally created a well designed, lightweight device that is snappy and feels great in your hands. The cover is also well done. This is the Kindle that should've been 6 years ago. Oh well.

Same PS4
on December 1, 2017
Posted by: rubberbandman
from New York, NY
Verified Purchase:Yes
The slim is the same beautiful PS4 you know and love, but smaller and, well...slimmer. I like how the power and eject buttons are easier to see and press, though I'm not crazy about how they separated the front USB ports from each other. I also like the Matte finish more than the glossy of the original. For $199 (Black Friday), you can't beat the price or system.

Good game brought down by EA's greed

When you face people who have better Star Cards than you, you will feel the difference and it's a shame. If this game didn't have that awful P2W system, it would be a great game.

A P2W mobile game with a $60 price tag
on December 1, 2017
Posted by: rubberbandman
from New York, NY
Verified Purchase:Yes
The NBA 2K series is just sad now. The on-court basketball action is still good, but it's worse than Star Wars Battlefront 2 with how it tries to get you to buy microtransactions by making everything a grind. What used to be free in past games now cost VC. It's essentially a P2W mobile game in a $60 wrapping. If you really need a basketball game, this is really your only option (NBA Live is still years behind), but I say wait for this to go on sale for like $39.99.

Best madden in quite some time
on August 28, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I play Madden annually and - apart from some new graphical or supposed gameplay innovation - it's pretty much the same title every year with the exact same legacy problems. This year, it seems like EA has finally taken strides to fix QB ball trajectory and overall physics. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect by any means, but it plays really well and the new "fight for the ball" addition between WRs/DBs adds a whole new element to the passing game.
I'm still seeing some issues with A.I. blockers not blocking properly on runs or screen passes, and the presentation wasn't touched too much from M15, but overall, this is a solid game of video game football right out of the box. Hopefully, EA doesn't break it in a future patch/update.

Brilliant shooting mechanics; horrible game design
on July 1, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Destiny is one of the most disappointing games I've ever played. It had such potential to be a huge sci-fi epic RPG, almost like a first-person Diablo meets Mass Effect hybrid, but alas, it's neither of those things. It's a big empty universe where you do the same missions over and over with very little payoff. It seems tailor-made for the OCD crowd who need to scratch that addictive itch.

Who would have thought there'd ever come a time when desperately searching the environment for what little resources you can find to survive was your idea of relaxing? While the daylight hours may be filled with scavenging for supplies and weapons, the fact that the sun shines in the sky eases your anxiety, because you know what happens the moment it dips beyond the horizon. With the dying light comes a host of horrors that turn the hunter into the hunted. Hoards of infected become aggressive and increase in numbers, searching for you as you searched for weapons to kill them just hours before. But the infected aren't even the most frightening threat. There's something else out there that lurks in the darkness, a more sinister predator that stalks its prey. You are that prey.Set in a vast and dangerous open world, Dying Light drops you in the middle of a waking nightmare in a first-person survival horror experience that will have your heart pounding and adrenaline pumping the second night falls. During the day, you're free to roam the expansive urban environment to scavenge for supplies and craft the weapons you need to defend yourself against the victims of a vicious outbreak. A variety of melee weapons, including knives, bats, axes, sledgehammers and more, are at your disposal, as well as guns and other firepower. The sizeable crafting system enables you to create a slew of more powerful, more potent weapons and equipment with specialized ammunition. You'll need every weapon you can lay your hands on to survive the night — when the infected roam free and the night-loving predators begin their hunt. Whether you're tracking prey or evading predators, you can seamlessly leap between buildings, grapple up walls and pounce on enemies with free running movement. With breathtaking visuals and immersive gameplay, powered by Chrome Engine 6, you'll begin to fear the night right along with your character. But your only chance is to face the dying light and use every ounce of wit, skill and courage you have to survive until morning comes.

Good premise ruined by too many fetch-quest

Posted by: rubberbandman

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you've played Techland's previous games (Dead Island, Dead Island: Riptide), then you'll know what to expect in terms of mission structure and leveling up. The only real highlight here is when it turns to night in this game. That's when this game shines, but sadly, it's not enough to sustain it. The story is laughably bad in a B-movie way, but it's actually taking itself so seriously, you can't help but roll your eyes. On top of that, the fetch-quests are numerous and never stop. You need to do them too if you want to level up, so while they're optional, they're really not.
The game has a great premise for future zombie games, but it's main, and side-mission, design is stuck in the past.

Not worth the money

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've owned the previous versions of this series (WWE '13 & '14) on XBOX 360 and this is the worst of the bunch. It's still riddled with bugs and glitches, the DLC model has gotten worse with so much locked out content, and many match types have been removed. You're only given 25 CAW slots and if you want to edit a wrestlers attire to reflect their current look (Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins still appear in their 'Shield' garb), then it uses up a CAW slot. You can import entrance themes and there is only one original CAW entrance (a guy talking on a cell phone). Oh, and to top it all off, when you play the Royal Rumble match in exhibition mode, whenever a new wrestler enters, the framerate slows down into the single digits - I'm NOT exaggerating.
This was just a poorly designed and produced game. Skip it and wait to see if they improve it for 2K '16.

Good if you sit really close to your TV

This is great if you sit less than 6' away from your TV. For people who have HDTVs that are 50" and above and sit a little further away, this isn't long enough to reach. To those people, I suggest buying the Insignia 10' cable. I will rate this item 5 stars though because the product works and is advertised properly.
