It should have been an expansion but they designed new characters and sold it as an overpriced stand-alone instead. The new characters are cool, but the boss fights are mostly poo poo, there's tons of backtracking over the same areas, and lots of the areas are low-gravity jumping puzzles, which would be fine if their engine didn't have the wonkiest loving hit detection ever. I can't count the amount of times I got caught on the environment in Borderlands 2 because someone put a small ramp or tiny step there. Now, imagine that poo poo with lovely low-g jumping puzzles. Also, everyone is really gratingly Australian or British because it was made in Australia. Oh, and a bunch of the crazy unique guns are just straight-up copies from Borderlands 2. They added laser guns which are meh. Also created a ton of DLC which they sold separately at regular prices which kind of sucked considering the game was something like half the size and length of Borderlands 2.

that's p much it. bad rats is a lovely as fuckin hell game that goons bought in droves to send to other goons as some kind of gay "prank" and this led the developer to conclude that the game was good and in high demand so they recently started production on a sequel

don't necessarily know if goons "started" it but they completely went all-in on bad rats regardless. if you participate in any kind of goon gift exchange you're gonna get either AIDS or bad rats.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Bioshock Infinite is a bad game.

I just got Bioshock Infinite for 9 dollars and I still can't bring myself to play it past the four hour mark. I don't understand why it bores me so much - I've never played a Bioshock before but shooting crows at people and then setting the crows on fire seems like it should be good fun but it just isn't.

Wasn't sleeping dogs the really sweet gta-in-hong kong game? Game was awesome.

Sleeping dogs was a boatload of fun. Otoh, I hadn't played a sandbox game since GTA2.

like a year ago I went to some crappy trade-in shop and got Sleeping Dogs, The Saboteur, and Red Dead Redemption for fifteen bucks. Best video game money I ever spent, I haven't played anything else but nba2k all year.

Agree that monopoly is the worst game ever. I am also tired of apples to apples and cards against humanity just because I feel like every time a group of people gets drunk one of those two games gets hauled out.

E: ^ yeah buddy.
