The Path of Exile reddit page is very active and the people are helpful. The community around this game is why I am giving it a positive review.

Civilization VI has well designed game mechanics, but suffers from poor AI.

As such I would like to request Firaxis to pay DeepMind to make an AI for Civilization VI using machine learning. I would be willing to buy this Deep Mind AI as DLC. Google is looking for away to get Deep Mind to start generation revenue, while Civilization VI is in need of better AI for its bots. In the event this joint venture happens, it will be very beneficial for Firaxis, Google and the end users.

This game provides a unquine experience. It was made for the PC with little to no consideration for people trying to play this game with a controller. The Witcher 3 is a much better game, but the Witcher 3 would provide an experience familar to a person who plays open world games on an Xbox One or PS4.

This unquine experence will make some people claim it is unplayable. I think it provides a charm of its own that is worth playing, if you give it a chance. I would suggust trying to finish chapter 1 and get to the sewers of Vizima before giving up and calling it unplayable.

I would recommend this game to someone who wants to play an action/adventure game that is unique. This game was made before Ocarina of Time set a template of how to make a 3D action/adventure game. As a result the game offers an experience very different, from modern 3D action/adventure games. This will mean that many people will find this game to be “unplayable”.

I played through this game with the default controls. Ctrl is the action button, Alt is jump, Space is draw/holster weapons, 8 is forward, 4 is right, 6 is left, 2 is back, 5 is 180 turn, 1 is slow walk and escape in inventory. These controls take a while to get use to, but the game will take around 20 hours to complete so there is plenty of time to get use to using them. I believe these unusual default controls improved my experience.

This game is not for everyone, but it is a very good game if you give it a chance.

I enjoyed my time with this game. I would recommend playing through all of the optional "challenge tombs", because they are the best part of the game. There are QTEs but they are infrequent and not irritating. The micro transaction card system is disappointing, but easily ignored.

Rise of the Tomb Raider has a far more puzzles and is a not less linear than Uncharted and The Last of Us. The action sequences in Rise of the Tomb Raider are less scripted than the ones in Uncharted. There are plenty of chest high walls in Tomb Raider, but stealth killing and sneaking through are often viable options.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is not a masterpiece like Deus Ex, but is an enjoyable action/adventure game. I am eagerly awaiting Shadow of the Tomb Raider and hope that Crystal Dynamics continues to make games of high quality.

Pro tip: 006F03F4 is the Address of the extra lives counter in Cheat Engine 6.6 for this game. This tip makes the physics in this game fun rather than frustrating.

All in all, this game is an okay Action/Adventure game from the N64 era. It is best to think of this game as an early experiment of how to make a 3D Action/Adventure game.

I am very disappointed with how Bethesda is changing Fallout 4 with the creation club. For many years there has been a modding community for Bethesda games, which includes Fallout 4. These mods are done as a hobby for fun. Due to the more causal nature of mods, the lawyers of IPs used to create these mods have turned a blind eye to what is happening. They may no longer turn a blind eye if the creation club starts making money.

If the creation club is not for mods, but professionally developed add-ons then they should not treat these add-ons as paid mods. StarCraft: Insurrection, which was developed by Aztech New Media, is was an official licensed add-on to StarCraft, which was developed by Blizzard. The relationship between Blizzard and Aztech should be the model that Bethesda uses when making professionally developed add-ons.

Given Bethesda’s current choice of actions, I cannot recommend Fallout 4 in its current state.

This was a great game on the gamecube and it is a great game today. For those new to this game, please note that mountain difficulty is normal, bike is easy and walking is very easy. On normal mode you have enough ammo to kill most the enemy, on easy and very easy you should have more than enough ammo to kill every enemy you see. Need to to finish to game once to unlock hard mode, where limited ammo becomes a significant issue.

I still have hope the Resident Evil 2 remake will take a similar design approach this game took. Tokyo Game Show 2017 is on September 21st 2017, I hope Capcom does not disappoint.

Microsoft paid for the development of Dead Rising 3, so that it would be an exclusive Xbox One launch title. I would speculate that Microsoft wanted the game to have mass appeal. As a result Dead Rising 3 plays like a GTA clone, rather a dead rising game.

Dead Rising was a niche series that a lot of people would not like. The strict time limit in the first two games meant that grinding experience, by killing zombies, resulted in the player having less time to complete side missions and main quests. The strict management focus made many people think that "new game plus" mode was required to get the best ending.

Dead Rising 3 is an decent game. I got from humble bundle and it kept me entertained until the end. Do not expect much and you will not be disappointed.

A decent steam sale game. If you played and enjoyed Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon and 4, then you should give Homefront: The Revolution a chance. The DLC missions are worth the extra $2, so I would recommend the "Freedom Fighter Bundle".

There are glitches. I was unable to capture all the "radio towers" in this game due to a glitch. I also had the game freeze on me once, at which point a used the task manager to close the game. The glitches were annoying but nothing that out right ruined the game.
