Seeing lineups at gamestop midnight launches for Tears of the Kingdom got me thinking about what games I was most hyped up for before/at release.
Mine was definitely Halo 2. I used to watch the E3 demo on repeat on my realmedia player when it was released. Marty O' Donnell's soundtrack was just got me so hyped as well as the graphics being mindblowing at the time. Also, the gameplay reveals of duel wielding weapons and hijacking vehicles like in GTA blew me away.
Anyways, was wondering what are your most hyped moments/releases, in regards to video games?
The last game i bought full price was Pokémon Arceus. And the next games will be Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Nintendo games never go down in price anyways :P
When I buy a full priced game and the first thing I see, in the bottom corner of the screen, is the in game store ads, I feel like I didn't buy a complete product. Kinda bums me out.
Black ops 3, Bioshock Infinite, Gears 3... all slogs that I got through.
I haven't beaten a single AAA open world game since skyrim on the 360... because they end up boring me before they end(also the fact they are incredibly long).
I beat crackdown 3 though. I dont know if that counts as AAA. Haha.
Today is the launch day for Pokemon Legends: Arceus!
I have been pretty excited about this game since the initial reveal. The idea of a more open world type of pokemon game seems really fun.
I recently played the two dlcs for pokemon sword and shield and they proved to me that Gamefreak could handle more open environments with exciting places to explore and collect items.
The review scores seem to be pretty good:
Gamespot - 8
Shacknews - 80
Vg247 - 80
Thesixthaxis - 90
IGN - 7
Mostly reviewers are liking the updates to the battle system, quality of life upgrades and new catching mechanics.
The negatives tend to focus on the graphics/framerate(at times).
What do you guys think about what you've seen so far? Are you picking this on launch day, like me?
