So whilst waiting for Destiny I decided to go finish off Assassins Creed 2, which I started during the great PSN outage but dropped when BO became available again. So I got back into it Thing is, I've nearly got 100% trophy completion on AC2, got 1 more to get, to unlock my first ever platinum trophy. I was looking forward to that, even going to proudly rename my PRR - 'Baabcat - Master Assassin'. Now it turns out you all think its a crap game. I feel such a tit

I don't play many varied games but have to agree with GTA iv , I loved San Andreas but one of my all time faves was vice city first game I really stuck at and finished of that type, I even did the PSP version. I even went back to gta3? The mafia type one, but 4 I just gave up with hated it. I have to say I was dissapointrf in 5 too maybe because it was on last gen but I finished the single player in a week hoping online would see me but it soon got boring. Ghosts no need to say anything about that other than thank you for turning me to bf4! After playing the beta I think destiny might end up on my list, hopefully I'm wrong.

Should be a close, evenly matched game then.........

Assassins Creed to me. I don't understand the hype. Only played the first two. They were boring and repetitive

Update 14.5 released for PC today. Overview: https://warframe.com/news/update-145-operation-cryotic-front-here Details: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/298960-update-145-operation-cryotic-front/?p=3403119#entry3403 New operation featuring a new game mode, Excavation, which sounds like a cross between defense and survival. It will replace survival on planet surfaces, which is good cause that didn't make a whole lot of sense. Probably three or four weeks for us but some good stuff to look forward to!

I thought I'd create a thread for any games you deem overrated past and present. I can think of a few off the top of my head that have achieved a ludicrous level of plaudits which I think were undeserved. The one game that really sticks out for me is Grand Theft Auto IV. I absolutely love GTA and to this day; SA is still one of the greatest games ever produced but IV really pained me. I desperately tried to get into it and enjoy it like past games and despite the huge graphical jump at the time on the 360; the more I played; the more I disliked it. The story was reasonable and a bit different from past games but the characters were more irritating than humorous. The side games with your cousin where extremely weak and annoying especially when he plagues your phone with calls. The missions themselves were really forgettable apart from the Three Leaf Clover bank job which was a brief highlight that landed you £250k in which you had little to buy with. The character mechanics were very cumbersome particularly in combat and the driving physics were far too heavy and just zapped of all fun. Liberty City did look stunning at the time but it's just a shame the vibrant city was bland and empty. You could get into a few buildings like shops but most were just scenery fillers. There were no gang territories or any extra gameplay layers to hold long term appeal and bringing back the girlfriend aspect just killed parts of the game as they desperately tried to add features aside from the main story. It didn't feel like a true GTA title which was redeemed years later with GTA V but even back then; I expected more as most positives from the series were not taken forward. The Ballad of Gay Tony added some colour and humour to a dreary and bland backdrop and was very enjoyable for a separate DLC narrative but the core GTA IV game was exceptionally poor IMO. I wouldn't say it's one of the worst games I've played but certainly one of the most disappointing. Even as an early gen game; it was exceptionally bland and didn't exceed the expectations or depth that San Andreas delivered.

I love all of the Assassin's Creed games and 2 is still my favorite. Plus it was my first platinum as well!

Why we no have dis? It's COD, F2P and combines COD 4, MW2 and Black Ops and all the weapons, killstreaks and content all into one game. It's like my dream Call of Duty but online available in China. If this was available worldwide; Advanced Warfare can fook rite orf.

Haven't watched the vid yet, but i think it was released to tap into the Chinese market as all Consoles were banned for quite some time. I think it's only being lifted now. So an almost modded COD was released on to cater for a Chinese market only. But as you've said a F2P COD experience mixing everything together would be cool. However it would be totally unbalanced. Whereas thr Chinese market doesn't give a shit because at least they get to play COD. Guess we can't have our cake and eat it!

Not all of us Bob, I know there's a few people here that absolutely love AC.

Fearured game mode in the next update is Pilot Skirmish, 8v8 with no bots and no titans.

I'm toying as to whether I'll put the Man Utd game in my accumulator tomorrow. May make a retarded bet and win like this chick did http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2735670/Cheshire-girl-wins-1250-accidentally-betting-MK-Dons-beat-Manchester-United-4-0.html

Sod it, I just bought MW2 on Steam for a tenner in the sale and it's just bloody brilliant. No hackers so far, plenty of newbies and legends having fun and it's just fantastic to sample the UMP, Predator Missle and all the classic maps again. Haven't played this in about 3 years since the 360 but it kinda makes me sad about what Call of Duty has become. I am buzzing for Advanced Warfare but the last few years of COD have been all about the commercial side, shitty gameplay politics and dour connections. MW2 for all its problems was just and out and out fun game regardless of the bullshit. It's good to be back and it'll take me comfortably into AW

You had me at CoD4 and MW2 with all weapons. Looks terribly laggy, but like he said, all servers were in China.

Old classics: Anything my Alistair MacLean. I believe some of his books were made into movies as well which are also worth a watch. His books are mostly war related, although some have other topics. If you want a suprisingly good read, try the books by Joe Abercrombie. I picked up one a couple of years back, not sure what to expect from it. Now I've got all his books. I'd say it's fiction/fantasy. Bit dark to be honest, but definetly a really good read. Make sure to check what book he gave out first though, they are all connected. Probably my favourite writer right now.

How about no? I'm not getting this. Looks like Halo gave CoD a proper fuck and ended up with this 9 months later. And the cloaking? Killzone did this, all it resulted in was people would use it to sit in corners and just stab when you ran past, I've no doubt it wont take long until the little shitkids that love their camping ways will start doing this. And the whole lazer thing seems utterly useless. The only thing I can think of using it for would be to troll my team mates by shooting them in the face with it and hopefully blinding them. Hell I'd take another ww2 or even a ww1 game over this any day. And just putting this out there since BO1 used the Vietnam war, why not use the Korean war? Anything but this futuristic little jizz stain. #rant #2cents.

Assassin's Creed I and II (The overarching story is good, but the gameplay and character stories I just find incredibly tedious.) Shadow of the Colossus (tedious) Batman Arkham Asylum (decent, but did not come close to living up to the hype for me) Borderlands 2 (more of the same as Borderlands 1 but the shtick has lost its appeal.) Every CoD since MW2 Every BF since Bad Company 2 Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is the worst game ever, but I don't think it was ever rated highly, so doesn't quite fit the bill for this thread.

No way! Best COD ever! I just wish it would go back like that...Hmmm, Halo has to be there... I just never understood the hype there... I gotta agree with assassins creed aswell, Iv not played any recent ones either but the first couple were just a bore...
