I'm actually very interested to see how Dynasty Warriors turns out. I still have no idea what "open world" will mean when they say that but it looks nicer.

There's perhaps no other game some people love to get mad at other people for liking than Skyrim.

The covers thing is way worse. It can be a bit funny because it was tired seriously 2 years ago and they are STILL doing it. The covers aren't really funny though, they just suck.

I guess some people don't like Metallica but I'm a fan. The timing thing is pretty harmless comparatively.

Anyone who puts one of those covers in a trailer is creatively bankrupt.

That's too bad. Ditching the Chaos tie in is a huge boost to the game for me but if the rest doesn't hold up, they kind of fucked up the foundation.

Great use of Metallica in that trailer.

I have had to put it off for a bit until I finish a couple games, but I'm excited.

Personally I am pretty down on most of the recent RPGs that have come out going after the feel of the classics, but Divinity OS stood apart from the start with its interactions, dynamics, and the feel of its combat being totally turn based. It has some new ideas and an interesting mix of ideas.

I had a lot of problems with the first game in other areas but those basics really grabbed me. I think the second game looks like a huge improvement in art style and I have heard really good things about the story. I am very excited to play it.

NBA Street is really great. I think the NFL Street games are really underrated. I played the second one a ton. The wall running was super fun and you could do really cool things as a ball carrier. It basically played like an RPG in the career mode.

I did enjoy the Mutant League games but they played pretty much just like their sim counterparts at the time, since they are on the same engine. They would just have those different elements on top. I think you can argue it though. I loved the Hockey game the most, and my brother and I usually won by killing the other team so they had to forfeit. We were hardly playing hockey at that point.

I loved it. By the end, having started playing it as hard as possible, it was reliant on it but it lasted me all the way through. I would need something added for a DOOM 2 I think. I will say though that even a lot more variety alone would help though.

@tennmuerti: has great advice, saved me most typing I would say.

SATELLITES! Just rush them from the start. They take time to build so you need to push them. Meanwhile, like it says above, you can rely on Grenades to carry the day for a bit. It's enough against early enemies.

One other thing I will say is the game is poorly balanced for character's advancement. To me there is almost every time one clear choice, so if you want to do research you can or just feel it out. For example, on the Sniper tree the pistol and move and shoot stuff is fine enough but it's not remotely as powerful as the other side. Get a sniper to high ground and that unit will carry the game for you.

If you've been watching GB play, the one thing they don't do remotely enough is flank. You get great shots when you flank and it isn't so hard. Some time on GB they don't even look to move before they shoot and stuff. The openings are there. And they overwatch way too much. You can dash plenty if you just dash into areas you know. Also, it's usually a safer idea to move at least as far as you can in your first action just to see what's ahead of you, then dash after with a different action. Same result many times, but using this method, I have saved myself by getting into cover after tripping a new alien squad, for example. It will save you at times.

You don't want to dash into the unknown and trip a squad of aliens. Overwatch does have moments in this game though, especially because the game doesn't really punish you for playing conservatively (XCOM 2 does that way more).

Basically, aggro-ing aliens that way is kind of a super key, but unspoken, part of the game. Be wary of it. Fighting too many enemies is how you die.

@chaser324: huh that is odd. The game seems deep so I'm pretty forgiving with issues when developers make RPGs with lots of ways to solve quests and things. Everything I've heard is encouraging.
