Playing Ghost Recon: Wildlands at the moment, it's OK but a Tom Clancy game it is not, it's best described as "Far Cry: babysit 3 braindead teammates edition".
I cannot understand how A.I continually gets left to the side when developing games, seems to go graphics>gimmicky multiplayer>sound>gameplay>"oh yeah, we need A.I"

New Splinter Cell cannot come soon enough.
I believe that's the console effect no? I've never played games on console but those seem to be the first platform games are built from and then you get the dreaded "ports" to PC.
The thing currently popping my balloon is all the micro transactions where they want you to but all the little trifles meant to "enhance" your experience. That's my biggest complaint about ESO now

It's not just the console effect, it's the assumption by game developers that most gamers are too dumb to play a game without getting their hand held all the way through it and god forbid any sort of intelligent A.I makes it so they stop feeling like Rambo as they one man army their way through the game.
What they mainly focus on is making it look pretty so these dumbasses can watch a Michael Bay style trailer (made from high res cutscenes containing absolutely no actions that you can personally perform in game) and go "best game eva" without even seeing the in game action.
Don't even get me started on microtransactions and other DLC they cut out of the games to sell you later.
I'm playing Animal Crossing New Leaf. Been slayings it every day since it's launch in 2013!
But WOW don't get me started on dlc that they make you pay for after the game has come out. Nintendo have gotten SUPER greedy with that recently, it's awful. And now they're going to start charging you to be able to play online! It's terrible. I used to really love Nintendo but they're turning into one of those money grabbing companies :(

Can fully recommend Prey.
If you ever played any of the System Shock games then this is a spiritual successor, Bioshock was a spiritual successor to the SS games as well but Prey even moreso.
Games like this don't come around often.

I always meant to play System Shock. I've owned it for about 6 years. I see that have an enhanced version out now so I don't know which one to play first.
Bioshock never did much for me. I really looked forward to Infinite and after a 3-4 hours hours just lost interest. I'm sure I'll like SS though

Infinite was a pretty bad game IMO, very turbulent development and it showed. It lost what made the original Bioshock good.
The SS games were amazing for their time, I don't know how well they hold up for someone that's never played them (they are quite old now) but if you have it, may as well try it and see.
I'm very fond of these types of games which incorporate emergent gameplay like the old school Deus Ex and SS, also to a lesser extent Duke Nukem 3D (we don't mention Forever)
EDIT: oh it has I think. Anyone got it who can review?
Would personally rate it 8/10, it's not the best looking game by any stretch of the imagination (even with running on Cryengine 4).
What it does have though is a good story of a decent length (first playthrough took me 40 hours because of exploring and breaking into stuff) and great interactive gameplay, full of the emergent gameplay methods employed in early SS games and Deus Ex games.
Would however wait for another patch or two, it's developed by Arkane so there are some bugs.
Also, it's clear to see why Dishonored 2 was a let down, most of Arkane's resources were on Prey and it shows.
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted.
I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside. I tried groups, didn't work out just made my depression a lot worse.
