Hello all and im not talking about washing the dishes and ironing the socks! :P, the reason I made this thread is because I was looking at the demo impressions in the 360 forums of DMC4. Some people in there feel as with assasins creed that the game is repetitive and not different enough from previous versions of the series. Now to an extent i agree with this but for me games are all about evolution not revolution and DMC4 has the best hack and slash controls, great graphics and a good storyline(or so ive heard but the jurys still out on this) however in spite of this im only going to rent the game.
Now games like WOW allow you to do a lot more than the average game, level solo(singleplayer) group, instance, pvp, raid etc. and while it s all very repetitive it does allow for a lot of ways to 'play' the game and it kept me interested a lot longer than any other(even multiplayer) games. Now games these days generally take a genre and run with it with exceptions like GTA which allow for a multitude of different genre s to be incorporated into the game, driving, shooting, rpg elements etc. I just find myself these days not taking the risk of buying a game unless I know I will be getting a LOT for my money. Take for example Orange Box, I just recently got it. Great game with so much to do, oh and I would most definately pay for a full priced portal :D but thats mainly down to sheer awsomeness on its part :D. But before that I have rented most of the good 360 games MAss Effect, Bioshock and Eternal Sonata for instance, where as I bought Virtua Fighter 5, GH3, COD4 and Halo3 as I knew they d last me quite a while online and to get the achievements(im looking at you MHC and expert TTFATF :P).
I guess in a way i am asking in your opinion is single player worth buying for these days without a good multiplayer componant? Games in Ireland are in or around 70 euro, which is quite steep compared to previous era s of gaming, megadrive, ps1/2 etc.
And in addition to the question above do you actually want your games to do more these days in relation to additional genres? Such as shooting with driving parts etc. Pretty much any game in any genre can get repetitive such as racing and even(gasp!) Virtua Fighter :o. So what dya think people? :)
