Red Dead is fucking quility
Been playing XCOM, Pro Evo 13, Defiance, Planetside 2, Guild Wars 2
All good. Special mention for Defiance. Winner of the 'Looks proper shit but is actually ace' award
I find Defiance interesting. I'm a sucker for a good post-apoc TV show.
How is it good?
I honestly cannot tell you. It just is. The combat is reasonably basic, the side missions can be repetative, the UI is awful and its not exactly brimming with innovative features but It's just a LOT of good honest fun.
It feels satisfying speccing as a sniper type and clearing out a camp before going in to grab the objective, or managing to survive on a thread of health when faced with 9 or 10 enemies (although its rare you do survive). Its a very challenging game and if you don't get it right you can find yourself instantly overrun with enemies. the vehichles are also tonnes of fun and are actually enviromental objects in the sense that you can actually plough through a group of enemies to kill them. Not just transparent MMO mounts.
The icing on the cake is the 4 man co-op missions. they are effectivey what flashpoints are to SWTOR. They are quite simply awesome. Great environments and visual effects, hard as hell some of the bosses look very impressive. Had some right laughs in them. Overall, the game looks good has a main story arc (with cutscenes) aswell as episode missions connected to the TV show (not seen it though, so cant comment on how it integrates). And its sub free, same model as guild wars 2
