Well, the reason it reminded me of Far Cry (I'm referring to Far Cry 3) was due to the repetitiveness of the activites. The open world is basically just a set of enemy bases, which aren't always that varied, where you have to complete very similar objectives over and over. To be fair, this is a...

MGS V is one of the biggest disappointments in gaming for me and is definitely the most forgettable in the series. I liked the quirkiness, humour and characters of 4, but I agree that the gameplay was lacking. MGS V had great stealth/fighting mechanics (in a completely different league to 4)...

Yes! I wholeheartedly agree. Never before have I been so hyped and then disappointed in a game, about five to ten hours in when it finally hit me that it just wasn't going to be MGS. There were still a few hints of the old humour, but they could have done so much more. OT: MGS series - I...

Something I like to do is stockpile certain things when they are on offer. I either do this with food I can freeze or food that won't go off fast, like cheese. Also with toiletries. I only buy half price or bogof toiletries and always check the supermarkets when I'm there. If I'm even close...

I'd like to be entered in the PC version draw. Thanks!

I vote for Animal crossing as well. Also, another +1 for the Rune Factory games. I've played Rune factory 3 and I really enjoyed it (you can look after animals in them), but I'm not sure which is the best in the series. As a local multiplayer game, I recommend running Dynasty Warrior 8 by...

Have you read any of Haruki Murakami's books? They can be pretty weird, but most of them are worth reading. The main thing I enjoyed was his writing style, and while some of his books are very long, they are so easy to read and I was quite content to sit there for a whole afternoon reading them...

Well this is bad news...I had been kind of looking forward to The Division, although I must admit I hadn't paid any attention to what it was going to be like. I just assumed it was going to be a bit like Ghost Recon, except post apocalyptic style and not shit (at least, I hoped). If it is...

To me, it is The Witcher 3, without a doubt. It is the only game to have come out this year that really exceeded my expectations and that was also a large improvement over the previous titles in the series. Fallout 4 was fine; I enjoyed it, but it was largely more of the same. I was super...

I really enjoyed this game as a whole. I've played all three Witcher games, but this is the first one I could say I was satisfied with. For me, the standout aspect was the world the game created, especially the characters that inhabited it. Despite the fact that the gameplay was fairly...

Yes, this happens to me sometimes, although it's almost exclusivley rpgs, although can be with other story heavy games. Having said that, it's normally rpgs because they last long enough to get invested in the characters. Persona 4 was one for me as well. I wasn't expecting to like the game...

Haha, I can see I'm guilty of trying to fit my argument around my own humanoid image of a cyborg. Firstly, though, I was only using the replacement limbs as an example, so I'm not suggesting that's necessary to be deemed a cyborg. I do agree that people who've had technology added to them...

I'm really surprised by the poll results. I would say she's definitely not a cyborg because she's just wearing a suit. It doesn't matter if it is her life support system, because you could still remove her from it and place her in a bed with static life support equipment. People who use a...

I'm also rather underwhelmed by the game and I had really high hopes for it. No long cutscenes is a huge let down for me. I can understand why they may have wanted to cut them down a bit, but now there are almost none at all. I've heard there were some crazy people who didn't like having 40...
