New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

Just letting everyone know I played this game to 100%... and it sux. I played it to 100% only cuz I'm very loyal to Rockstar and the GTA family. But I hated this game.

The graphics and character rendering were the best I've ever seen in a GTA game. The 1940s Los Angeles they created was huge and beautiful. Supposedly they created 90% of the city to scale.

Unfortunately the main missions (cases) are so boring and tedious that it kills the game... and there's nothing else to do!! They use 3 discs and build an amazing open world, but don't let you do a goddamn thing!!

The only time I had some "fun" was hunting for easter eggs and doing the few side missions. In other words, the worst parts of a regular GTA were the best parts of this game.

I would not recommend this game to anyone over 10 years old. It does bode well for the next regular GTA though.

I passed on this one. Sounded a little too boring to me after reading up on it, not a fan of watching a game. Props to you for sticking with it, if I hate a game I end up selling it the same week I buy it like I did with Homefront.

Speaking of GTA when are they gonna put out a new one already? Seems long overdue.

interesting about LA Noir glad I skipped it.

Agreed. I also liked the downloadable content for GTA, I hope they do that again with their new game.

Yeah sure they will. Downloadable content is a cash cow.

I hate watching a game too. If I wanna watch a movie... I'll watch a fckn movie!!

As for new GTA I found this:
Rockstar leaks next GTA Game? | Playstationer.net (http://playstationer.net/2011/04/17/rockstar-leaks-next-gta-game/)

On the other hand... I really liked this game:

LIMBO (http://limbogame.org/)

- Downloaded off XBox Live ($17).
- Quick game, I finished in a week and wasn't even in full grind mode.
- Cleanest game ever. When you go to How to Play it says "LS move, A jump, B use".
- Puzzles were challenging and some were really hard, but all were fair.

Rockstar leaks next GTA Game? | Playstationer.net (http://playstationer.net/2011/04/17/rockstar-leaks-next-gta-game/)I imagine they sum the game up pretty well with this (language maybe NSFW):

Real Life L.A. Noire from Funny Or Die, Bob Turton, CharlesIngram, NickCorirossi, Alex Fernie, and BoTown Sound (http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/a4fd788ce7/real-life-l-a-noire)

I played it to the end too, but was disappointed as well. I don't want to spoil anything, but I hated how anticlimatic the ending was. It was like they established the real bad guys, and then don't let you go after them. And even though I enjoyed certain aspects of case solving, it felt like you were doing the same thing time after time.

Sounds like every GTA game to me.

Good point. I love GTA but the missions do get repetitive. I hope they spice it up next time.
