    I did not fancy GTA 5 one bit. Multiple characters was confusing and you never really got to connect to the protagonist - That feauture ought to be thrown in the dudtbin, left to rot and die.

    GTA 4 was a bit boring too, NYC is a trashy place and not very fun for GTA imo. Big boo.

    These newer GTA:s are nothing compared to GTA 3, Vice City and SA.

    Yep. I've kind of quit the thing in frustration as well. I wonder if it might improve if Niko has a higher driving skill? Or if that was even a part of that game? As it is now, the damned cars tend to keep going forward when I try to turn, or if they do turn it's way too much. Reminds me of when it's raining in San Andreas.

    Any more, WoW just feels like a McDonald's to me. Greasy hastily prepared food with no real nutritional content, just fast and cheap, get in get out, next person please.

    By inventing fake problems like ability bloat or telling us they want us to have "interesting choices", they've slowly been slicing out the depth and complexity of the game since Wrath, presumably for the console gamer type folks who just want to turn it on, play for 20 minutes, and then stop. There's nothing at all wrong with gaming like that, it's just that making a game to play like that tends to strip out the flavor between the lines. The earlier iterations of Wow were fun because there was still some chaos involved in each class, some unique situations and combinations. Now, everything is so streamlined and bland. Professions are practically pointless.

    I've tried coming back to wow a couple times over the last few years and I just can't do it. I log in and do a lot of staring at stuff, getting prepped to start doing things, but I never actually start because it just seems so bland now. Then I uninstall the next day and question myself about why I wasted the 30gb of bandwidth to download it.

    Although, with the new tokens you can buy with gold, coming back to the game is easy and free as I have several hundred thousand gold on my account. But even playing for free doesn't make it interesting enough.

    I LOVED GTA5. I loved all of the characters and the overall stories. I love how you can alter the way the game is going to end. There's 3 different endings, and about 30 different ways to play the game. Once I got to know the layout of the city, I felt like I lived there. I also just loved exploring all the land.

    I am really looking forward to GTA6. Praying to any god I can that it comes out soon (it's just rumors as of now)

    That's probably a good thing. I regret buying my Xbox except I love the media it comes with.

    I really liked Uncharted 2 though but never really got absorbed into the follower. I used to have GTA SA on my old computer and sometimes went online to mess with all the 12 year olds. :p

    Some of the mods on that game were absolutely brilliant. :)

    My new addiction has been EVE Online. It's the deepest game I've ever played and I feel as if I could play for years and not fully grasp what's going on. That being said, it's a really good time once you find a corporation (like a guild/clan) and find some good people to play with.

    I'm currently playing Horizon: Zero Dawn. I beat it, and now I'm running around getting collectibles. It's a good game that could have been great if it wasn't tainted with heavy handed social justice messages that break the immersion and enjoyment of the story. Just about every male character you encounter in the story tends to be a bumbling incapable idiot, and all the female characters are total bad asses. Fun kinda silly.

    The King of the Hill servers are my favourite because you can get just stuck in and do your own thing without having to follow any bullshine orders, the maps are big but everything is focussed on getting to and holding a certain town (which is different on each map).
    Number of players ranges from 1 to over 100, the average is 50-ish, split into 3 rival teams.
    You can be infantryman, tank man or pilot, I LURV the big VTOL Blackfish (below)..:)

    Don't take this personally, but the graphics seem kinda crappy. How old is this game?

    I love the Arma games. I've been a loyal fan since Operation Flashpoint.
    Right now I'm playing mount and blade with mods because my laptop isn't quite up to the specs for Arma.

    Also love the Dead Space games.

    Right now, I kind of like Mafia III. The graphics on a Hi Res 50" TV is stunning. The story and game, okay but not great.
