The sixth one is back compat so I'm going back through it now. It's been a long time since I've played it, but it's still great. I've only played four, five and six, and loved them all. I don't remember four though. I was eleven when that game came out and I don't think I played much of it actually. Seven is looking a lot like the previous ones, but that's not a complaint. I wasn't that excited for it to be honest, but now that I'm going through six again, it might be a game I'm getting.
I much prefer the cockpit view as it's the most immersive, but yeah it's probably the hardest since you just don't get as much view of your surroundings. Wonderful music in these games. In playing six, it reminds me of how tense and actually kind of stressful the game can get in some spots. I'm a lot better at the game than I was (mainly because I'm actually utilizing everything at my disposal), but the feeling of failure still always looms which can be kind of draining.
I don't think I've ever voted in the GOTY's on here, but I definitely didn't even think about it for 2018. To be honest, while I didn't hate the good games that came out, I didn't find any of them to speak to me if you will. They weren't all that special in my opinion, so it made it hard for me to care about where games lie in a list for 2018. RDR2 would be my favorite I'd say because of how impressive a lot of it is though, but again, it wasn't really 'special' to me.
I don't love these games. I played them when they became remasters, and not when they launched either. I liked them fine, and even read the one comic to get more of the story. I think they're well made, but two (despite thinking that it in many ways is better than the first) was quite boring and I found it hard to want to get through. It took me about a year to complete it think. I love the voice work and I am somewhat interested in the story/characters.
I also think the Zelda/God of War style was good. Three seemed like a game that, while not at all my most anticipated game, would be one that I'd play. The fact that I didn't love the first two, was only marginally excited about three and now some poor reviews, it's kind of holding me back. I might get it when it's cheap though just to finish it off. It certainly doesn't look bad from what I've seen.
I've listened to it on YouTube (and it sounds good), but I'm curious how the soundtrack is in the game. That was one of my favorite things about BF1. The only thing holding me back from getting this game is that the war stories are so short. I wish they drip fed war stories as free DLC, or a bunch of them after launch as paid DLC. Multiplayer can be fun, but I don't really play multiplayer so there's not much reason for me to get it in that regard.
I'm hoping with some success with Hitman, they really think about bringing back Freedom Fighters. It's still my favorite IO game to date (just wish I could play it on PC somehow, or heck, now back compat on the Xbox One!)
