Watch Dogs (2014)
Amazing game! (Besides the police..)
Everything about this game is so perfect. The graphics, story line, open world, and diversity of life in the bustling beautiful Chicago are a perfect score for me, but unfortunately.. There are a few large flaws.
Lets start by addressing the people. Diversity? Yes. Realistic..? Not really. If you were to pull into a random parking lot at a restaurant filled with other cars, then pull back out at average speed and casually pause at the entrance to make you're leave.. the people would scream and shout dumb things you're way as if you'd shot towards them like a speeding bullet.
But the worst, most colossal problem?? The police. Real police don't try to kill you over a simple fender bender, especially if it was a hit-and-run.. you not being the fleeing suspect or the cause of the crash. The cop that saw the minor accident literally called for backup, and before I knew it helicopters were swarming the skies. No, 'put you're hands in the air' at least??!
Even though this particular flaw is huge, the game was still one of the best I have ever played. And so far, it continues to impress and entertain long after the main missions are through.
Batman: Arkham Origins (2013)
This game goes from easy to impossible in seconds..
This was a pretty great game, but there are some major flaws that I wish I'd known about before purchasing it. So to spare you the shock and frustration, here are a few colossal imperfections that greatly lower my rating.
1. The dialogue is terrible. The creators of Arkham Origins apparently forgot that Batman is not some bloodthirsty demon. The threats he spits at random thugs during interrogations sound so juvenile! On top of that, as usual, the thugs are constantly saying the same things over and over on every mission. Would you really say, 'I'm gonna crush you' or, 'You're never gonna hit me' if you're 12 other buddies have already been swiftly taken out and scattered over the cold snow like bloody sprinkles?
2. The boss fights are so easy. If you were expecting more, think again. But that being said, there was one fight that was so impossible it had me mad for several hours. Because I couldn't get past it, it was awful trying to deal with it over and over, when all I wanted to do was keep playing the game. What makes it worse was these impossible little missions just kept popping up, and all of them suddenly make you feel hopeless and panicked.
But besides that.. the game was pretty good. And even after the main missions are over, so far, Gotham City still keeps the player entertained.
