Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I wasn't going to buy it because I don't do zombie games but I was told it was really really good and blahblahblah

and I switched to nightshift in the middle of the week after a day on dayshift and I needed something to keep me up all night long.

I'm not done yet but I think the voice acting is great and the relationship between Joel and Ellie is heartbreakingly wonderful.

but I don't do fungus/zombies hiding around corners..I have died a bajillion times because I'm impatient and just want to hacknslash my way through (I hacknslashed my way through dishonored and Assassins Creed too). It took me an eternity to learn the controls (you don't have to hold down the up button with r1 to heal yourself, this stupid game lies)..I put the game on easy mode so I can have autotarget.

Also like all these modern GOTY actiony games are ridiculously short. This is going to be another one of those 8 hours and you're done...heres some online coop shiznit that I wont touch at all.

:(

I miss my 40 hour long games for PS1/PS2 :|

I just found it to be a very linear and average (or since it is a naughtydog game,subpar) shooter.

Wondering also....

Have you met Bill?

Bioshock infinite is the only bioshock game I've personally played. I watched my sisters babydaddy play some of the originals but I don't like dark and gloomy and I just..didn't..like him and wouldn't sit throught he whole game.

Bioshock infinite was kind of fun, I liked it more than I thought. I really liked the creepy music...I could leave my tv on the start screen forever. The ending was weird but after rewatching it a couple times it wasn't horribad.

am a little upset that the game gives you all these options and your choices don't mean anything.

no spoilers for TLOU ending yet. Almost there

Or even quality games that were shorter but could replay a billion times

Any game with good character backgrounds and a world that feels alive with a rich story to uncover and that doesn't feel cramped (like in 13 where you run along a corridor all the *** time). A world on a next-gen console (well, current gen) shouldn't make you feel trapped, it should let you explore the game world and have lots of different areas and npcs to talk to.

512 ram is a hell of a disability

(or as I like to throw at the ps3 fanboys)

256+256 ram is a hell of a disability

Yeah please don't spoil story in TLOU, take that to PMs because I haven't bought it yet and I don't do well with not clicking on spoilers

Yeah but now with 8 gigs in PS4 they can't complain about lacking hardware

I think this is why I liked skyrim so much...Ive never played any elder scrolls but I really miss open worlds and exploring.

NinoKuni tried to give the classic open world RPG feel. It was visually pretty and I enjoyed playing it. Not my top RPG ever but it was nice in the current world of shootersonry.

I miss the feeling of adventure I got when I was around 10 and I popped FF9 in for the first time or when I ran around the world map in 8 at my friend's place. I still get that when I play stuff like Skyrim but there's just such a lack of good games with exploration. Sure, you couldn't go anywhere you wanted in 9 but at least it gave you a break from the story if you wanted it. You could do one story part and then go *** around and then do another, you weren't forced to do very long story parts just to get one chance in the game to explore a small area and then be forced back to just story.

And costs so shorter game time

@Quiz: probably because we'd hate each other irl

"Hey, so I just did that thing with the thing and it was awesome"
"WTH? YOU SURPASSED ME? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO WAIT TIL I GOT OFF WORK"

You don't need the best graphics as long as you make the world interesting and with plenty of things in it. They shouldn't focus as much on the graphics, they need better stories. Rich worlds like Ivalice with lots of history to be found from talking to npcs, reaing notes, doing quests and having lots of side stuff to do. The hunts gave me a lot of enjoyment in XII in between the story parts and it let me explore the whole world and took me to areas I probably wouldn't have gone to otherwise.

one of my fondest memories of FF9 was running around the map and hopping in caves and accidentally coming across random places and picking up extra sidequests. I used to think it was so cool that you could do extra quests that werent related to the main story. I never wanted this game to end.

I even did the Stellazio Coins and Coffee quests. The Chocobo Hot & Cold game I only did so that I could explore more areas. Why can't developers see that when they design games? :/

I still think 12 is lacking in the story department but I loved the gameplay and the extra quests in it as well. Mainly I loved to pick up side stuff just to hear Balthier say something snarky. It was more than enough of a treat to hear an extra bit of dialogue.

@Drac (mainly)

Even now when you go back and play pre-current gen games that you enjoyed before,or never played before. Or even HD remakes or re-releases of previous gen games,you can see the quality gap. And it is IMMENSE.
