I can buy Alien Isolation for €25, but I just bought the evil within and shadow of mordor. Worth it?

I heard that The Evil Within is terrible, but Shadow of Mordor is apparently awesome, might even be a GOTY contender depending on what kind of reviews AC: U, DA: I, and Far Cry 4 get.

Ryuu stated so far it was Mordor as his GOTY. I'm playing it now and while I like Forza better, it's also a really awesome game. The nemesis system is truly the right step forward when it comes to this type of gameplay. It's all in real time, and nothing is scripted when it comes to facing Captains, and Warchiefs. 

The gameplay takes some steps from the AC game. Stealth is really useful for thinning the heard and it works very well. The more you play through main missions (unlocking crucial abilities) the game really opens up and allows you to tackle so many situations through a variety of combinations. 

You can control other captains to take on and betray the great warchief, power struggles, and other combinations are also prevelant. The use of objects in the are is also a good use for switching up the gameplay and keeping it fresh as well. 

Only issues I have are sometimes the y botton and a button don't work ALL the time. Sometimes, it doesn't seem to input. Another issue I have is the total amount of enemies on screen. Sometimes it's really overwhelming to go up against like 30 plus enemies. It does feel like some of them just come out of no where as well; to me that's poor design choice. Overall it's definitely a sleeper hit of 2014. Glad people are buying it :)

We need less talk about Sunset Overdrive and more talk about Fantasia. Which is probably the best game that defines the Xbox One's unique features. 

I've actuaslly been seeing more ads for Fantasia than Sunset Overdrive. MS seems to be pushing it pretty hard. Don't know if it's working though, it released today and it's only at #665 on Amazon. Hopefully it's doing way, way better digitally. If it flops MS will likely lose Harmonix support.


I would hate to see it flop.  This is the game that could of helped push Kinect on launch.

It's weird but I'm having the same issue with Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition right now. The Y button is used for countering and sometimes it doesn't seem to input. The fact that you're having issues with Y as well has me a bit concerned. Maybe Xbox One controllers have a problem with the Y button not working all of the time. Hopefully it's a just a coincidence, hopefully both games just happen to have a programming issue that's causing input delay with the Y button.

I don't think it's that. Could just be conicidence. I had no issue with Forza (although... I don't remember it being used) I'll look more into it today, I may just be too slow and taking it out on the game, when it's my fault lol. 

Unrelated Shika... but did you buy Sleeping Dogs, or rent it from Gamefly?

Speaking of the front page I now got GIGGS predictions up.  Good job as usual from him xD

Gamefly. It's a really good game. The graphics improvement over the 360 version is pretty huge. I'm also loving all of the extra content that comes in the Definitive Edition that wasn't in the Games with Gold 360 version I got back in January. All of the preorder bonus outfits are in the game, as are the DLC packs. I'm really loving the preorder bonus outfits, there's some real gems among them. I'm currently rocking a Son Goku outfit that gives me 50% increased melee damage and the ability to summon a magical staff that does extra damage. There are some other great preorder outfits as well, including one that makes you look like Adam Jensen from Deus Ex: Human Revolution xD 

Yeah, I honestly don't see how SE can get away with charging people $60 for a 2012 game... I'd say $50 at most. 

Will re-buuy it once it gets heavily reduced as I already played it last year. Awesome game though, but IMO, not worth another full $60 double dip.
