2016-12-17 at 8:33 AM UTCthese are totally the best games.
i like, not in order of favorite:
sleeping dogs
watch dogs
gta 4 (BETTER THAN GTA 5)
gta 5
yakuza 4
fallout series
assassins creed black flag
farcry series (EXCEPT THERE IS TOO MUCH AIMING AND CONSOLE IS SHIT FOR AIMING SO BUY THE MOUSE AND KEYBOARD THING FOR PS3 AND YOU WILL BE OKAY BUT IT'S LIKE A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS)
on ps3
ps4 is
watch dogs 2
sleeping dogs definite edition (it's just all the dlc and slightly more detail, eg fog, and i love sleeping dogs so I want the full addons)
maybe gta 5 but i dont have that and i dont see the point, HD is HD, ps3 and ps4 is no difference really, more graphics ram on ps4 so you can have more people running around on the street and flies buzzing around a lump of dog shit. ps3 wouldn't even have dog shit because it takes graphics processing power away, so ps3 is better in that sense.
open world is all that is worth playing, really.
shooters were good as a teenager, but they are ALL THE SAME. if you want you can go to internet cafe for them. driving is meh. you can drive cars in these games. racing with laps gets boring, but if you want to drive a car around doing laps just get asphalt airborne on your smartphone. the cars are legit and so cool but it's not 'simulation' style. but if you just like the cars going fast it has real looking cars and real cars from heaps of makers, nice graphics, nice sound, and a speedometer. -

2017-04-17 at 8 PM UTCI love the idea of space engineers, but it kinda seems like it's been in early access hell for way too long. I've been waiting for a release proper for a while now but it just never seems to come. How is it in its current state?

Can confirm, it's been early access for ages. However, it's still being actively developed, and the modding community has released tons of visual and functional mods to make the game better. For what it's worth, it's been moved from beta to beta, though unlike most other games that move in to beta, they're still adding features. It's also completely open-source ^_^
I can only confirm that single player is functional. I haven't spent enough time in multiplayer to know how many kinks have been worked out. There were (last I checked) long standing issues with desyncing on multiplayer, so some blocks, such as rotors and pistons, get their positions and velocities miscalculated and turn into explodium. Anyway, it's fun as fuck to make things in creative mode, and the game is playable for sure in survival.

The endgame is survival. Make awesome shit. Fight NPCs. Fight other players. Keep surviving. There's a scenario editor so people (mods or devs or whoever) can make their own missions, to give you some goal to achieve if you'd like. -

Like asian women are definitely the best around so you've gotta have some taste, right? But no, how is it even possible to like 4 more than 5? 4 more than SA? 4 more that VC? 4 was absolute fucking special olympic dog shit.
gta 5
Also no dark souls, what the fuck? -
2017-04-18 at 10 AM UTCI liked 4,especially the motorcycle gang add on, but both San Andreas and 5 were better

2017-04-21 at 4:56 AM UTC4 was impressively programmed, just all the little things where I was like "oh, you can do that, cool". I just couldn't bring myself to give a shit about the story or any of the missions besides the jamaican ones. Haven't played enough 5 to have an opinion but SA was the better game IMO
-
2017-04-21 at 4:58 AM UTCI loved 7 Days to Die for a while, but the devs are full blown mongoloids. It's been in beta for like 5 years or so and there are still unfixed bugs from the original release, nevermind the new ones introduced every patch (which only happens once every few months anyway).

I don't know shit about programming so I'll take your word for it but SA had so much more than 4 did, it was an obvious and massive downgrade, less space, a boring setting, less cheats, less vehicles, a shitty story(SA was you being a gangster and building your empire, 4 was some eastern european being all weepy about killing people) less pretty much everything.
No bikes to bunny hop with, no bloodring races, no working your way up to hitman proficiency with guns.
There were 2 things 4 did right, having cheats be on your phone so you didn't have to do that desperate scramble to keep from dying like in the others(though you could say that was a charm point to em) and being able to gun down anyone who invites you out(but that's only a fix for the problem of them yelling in your ear and they yell in your ear afterwards because of it)
Oh and

actually most open world games ruined video games because now all games are empty pieces of shit. -
2017-04-21 at 7:35 PM UTCThe best "city themed" open world game of all time was San Andreas for sure. But in terms of story, Vice City is still king.

Yeah, I agree SA was way more fun than 4 but map space doesn't really require programming, it's more design effort. TES games are examples of the inverse, quite a bit of space on the maps but the total number of things that actually have to be coded for are relatively small, lots of places to go but your means of interaction with each is pretty limited. Even in SA, you drove and shot at things and that was pretty much it. GTA 4 didn't have a lot of places but there was a (perhaps unnecessarily) high level of interactivity. Things like mantling, all the different angle contingent animations and special cases for car entry, that thing where you could ragdoll out of a car if you didn't put your seatbelt on. Fairly small things but they generally require a lot of code and testing to make work well. Maybe not what a game needs to be fun but technically quite interesting I thought.

Lol, when I played VC as a kid it was a rip uploaded to limewire or whatever the popular filesharing thing was at the time and they literally just deleted all the dialog to cut down on the transfer size so all the cutscenes played but had no sound. I had no idea what the story was and I played through the whole game like that.
