@dogbox: I might get it at some point. I think the biggest reasons right now that I don't have much desire to play it is that I also got the RE6 remaster on PS4 (yeah, I enjoyed it enough playing on 360 that I wanted it again), and I haven't yet beaten it, and I also got RE5 on the One, and have hardly touched it. I'd like to finish them before I go back to four, but there's also a bunch of games going to be out, close enough that I don't feel I'll have enough time to really settle in again for RE4, not soon. Another remaster I am more interested in, and another game I bought multiple times, is the Bioshock games. The Bioshock Collection.

@theht: Well, the length of the game is fine, it's just the content that's in the 20 - 30 hours isn't as much as I'd like. As for Metro, it has a great atmosphere, and yeah, it is bleak, but it's not overwhelming or anything like that. As for the bullets that are also ammo, it's bullets that you can use alternatively as more powerful ammo, which are never used. At least, I've never used them, so it's a non-issue. As for MMO's, and with the word Star in it, I'm downloading Star Trek Online on the PS4. Have you played it?

I am a pretty big fan of Star Trek (minus going to Trek conventions, and dressing up in cosplay), so playing a Trek game where I can explore the Trek universe sounds very appealing to me. I am most interested to know if the PS4 or, Xbox One versions are any good in that sense? I know it's free, and I know it's an MMO, which is generally not something I'd want to get into, but I'd like to know whether it's even worthy of spending the time downloading to check it out. It just came out today unbeknownst to me until a few minutes ago... Maybe I should download it. I'm still curious though. Has anyone played it on consoles yet? If so, how is it? How is the PC version?

(mod edit: user has since played the game, see post 9)

@flashflood_29: I only have Silent Assassin, Blood Money, and Absolution. Many say Absolution strayed too far from how Hitman is usually played, and that's not entirely incorrect, but that said, it's probably why it's the only one I ever beat. I liked Absolution, and I do enjoy Silent Assassin to some degree, but Blood Money I was never too fond of. I've got to the third or second to the last stage a few times, but never beat it. I kind of wanted to go back to Absolution. I got it late, at a time when I was again looking for games to play as at the time I had played everything I wanted to in early 2014.

I'm pretty sure this kind of thread has been made before, but I thought I'd make a new one; see what people are currently into. For me, I don't have much to play as I've beaten all the games I've wanted to play this year so far, so the last new game I played was Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. I would recommend it to those that love Deus Ex, and sci-fi, stealth fps'. I enjoyed it for the most part, but felt it lacked in the story department, not because I thought that what was there was lacking in quality itself, but that there wasn't more of it, and I was disappointed that you don't go to as many places in the game as you did in Human Revolution (or really, any of the Deus Ex games). The issue with the game for me was just how much content was there, and how much I really wanted to continue playing it. Human Revolution I beat multiple times, and I can't really muster up the motivation to do that again with this game, at least not right now.

Since I couldn't find motivation to do that, I thought about other games I could play as I read Bioshock: Rapture, because the Bioshock Collection is honestly the game I'm looking forward to next. The game I came upon was to go back through Metro Redux. I went through Metro 2033 only, and stopped less than a quarter of the way through Last Light Redux, but along with 2033, I recommend both. Redux is a better game than the original 2033 that was on the Xbox 360 and PC, but it does have some worse aspects. In the update, they made the voices of the children voiced by adult actors (I'm pretty sure), and for a game that wants to make the player feel for the world and its inhabitants, it made it a lot harder to do so with the goofy sounding voice work, when in the original, it was children doing the voices from what I remember.

They took a couple (okay, maybe one) NPC interactions out, like where someone jokes around with the player character Artyom about helping out with his pigs. It lent humor to a dark world, and even though it was a small bit, it stood out that they chose to take it out of Redux. Though I love that they made the game play pretty much exactly like Last Light, they took even the soundtrack to Last Light and inserted into 2033, and though I liked Last Light's soundtrack just fine, it is an aspect that disappointed me, because I felt that where the tracks were placed in the original 2033 were suited better, and its own original tracks should have been left in. They change that, but don't change the voice work to prominent characters, which makes it jarring when you go from 2033 to Last Light.

Yeah, those are the issues to both those games, but otherwise I do recommend them. They're actually quite similar in how you play, Deus Ex is just more open, while Metro is more linear.

I'm sure it's still great, but I feel I've bought it enough. I was hesitant enough to buy the last-gen versions, but did late and went through it. I don't know if I want to get it again.

One not mentioned is, I feel like G.R.A.W. and G.R.A.W. 2 (on console) have good feeling movement. It's not what you're looking for I assume, but the way it controls is good, and the character movement feels good.

On consoles, Arkham Knight, on PC, probably The Witcher 3, but both look superb either way. This may not make sense, but I played them both on the PS4, and if I were to rate them, I'd give The Witcher 3 a 9.25 out of ten in the visual department, while I'd give Arkham Knight a 9.5 out of ten. Arkham Knight is one of the best looking games on current-gen to me, just below games like Ryse and The Order, which are much more linear (well, this was before Uncharted 4 as well, and I think the newest Tomb Raider is pretty great looking too).

As for the games they've played so far, I'd say Doom (definitely wouldn't be mine, but that seems to be theirs).

Hm... I didn't preorder the game, just got it first day. In the box (if you got it retail), there is a code on a small piece of paper you'd be able to put in on the Square site, which gives you a PSN or Live code which gives you some weapons, and the Desperate Measures mission, what have you. BoOzak has already explained it all. It's kind of weird why they'd put this in, and not just into the main game, as if they didn't have time to put it in the main game or something. I don't know, it's just weird. The mission is just you going through a new area, and finding someone that tampered with footage of the bombing. It's really not much; it's about as long as the bank side mission where you have to find evidence of Picus' wrongdoings, and really just similar overall.
