This past holiday season I was able to play a good variety games. I got some games at launch, and others for the holidays. Some of my favorites have been Ryse, Assassins Creed, and Call of Duty Ghosts. To put this past season in perspective, I'll do a quick rundown of the gaming I did this fall.
Xbox One - It is technically not a game, but there is no way you can just skip over a new console. The console has been a fantastic upgrade from the previous generations. The games look a little better than the versions on the older games. The console plays fantastic with the controllers amazing rumble triggers. There is just so much that is hard describe despite the transition it takes to go from the different menus.
Call of Duty Ghosts - There isn't much to say besides Call of Duty is back and on the next gen console. It feels kinda similar with some small changes like squads, extinction, and some quick additions to the multiplayer, but it still feels like a fun call of duty.
Battlefield 4 - The problems with this game were never ending. When I tried to get into this game the first time, I got sent to the dashboard several times. After a few hours of trying I decided to not play the game until they patched it ... which unfortunately took much longer it probably should have. Once it was patched I jumped straight into multiplayer and fully enjoyed it. I'm almost rank 14 currently, and hope to jump into it once I get through all my games. The campaign was nothing to be excited for, especially because of how short it is. I still run into the occasional issues, so it should be better when I can fully invest my time into it.
Deadrising 3 - Now I've never been much of a Deadrising fan. I don't care for the series mainly because I just never get that addicted. This time around I found it to be ridiculous fun, but it was still just as easy to jump into another game and not have to go back. I still haven't completed Deadrising because of this, but it still has been an amazing game. It is completely addicting and there are a ton of collectibles that will take plenty of time.
Halo: Spartan Assault - This is a nice Arcadeish twin-stick shooter that plays pretty well despite it not being very long. If you hadn't owned it before it is $15 and it is really only worth it to the best Halo fans. Once you invest a good amount of time you'll think it's worth it but it takes quite a bit of time. It is a good buy and plenty of fun. This was my first game after launch, and having not finished it, I think it is pretty fun.
Ryse: Son of Rome - There are a lot of complaints about how repetitive this game is, but it is so much fun that it truly does not matter. The character models could have done more work, but it is a launch game and it was so worth it. The multiplayer does feel much different than the story because it really isn't, but I feel like the game could have been amazing with a little bit of time. Without that it still makes for a really good game.
Lego Marvel Superheroes - It is kinda hard to talk about this game when I've only played 2 hours before playing it. I'm a little bit of a perfectionist so unfortunately I'm going to have to go back and play a ton of this, but it has been fun so far. It just feels like a Lego game which isn't a bad thing.
Forza 5 - This is the game that easily looks the best of any games I have despite how good Assassins Creed and Ryse looks. I enjoy the game and have a ways to go seeing that there is so much leveling and buying and upgrading to do, but it's fully enjoyable. In the end, it's a good racing game.
Assassins Creed IV Black Flag - To be honest, this was the surprise game of the year for me. It was fantastic after not really liking the third game. It was a ton of fun and really just a huge shocker. It was a good game for the series. It looked beautiful, played fantastically, and was such a good game.
I'll have a video posted on youtube and this blog soon enough, but here is my 2013 fall in a whole for now.
