Bravely Default
Drakengard 3
Kingdom Hears 2.5 HD (Maybe)
Smash Bros WiiU
Xillia 2
etc, etc, etc...
The only one I played was Gunslinger. I don't know about the others?
Actually, I don't go just on any reviews, but impressions from reviewers and gamers that have similar tastes as mine. So if they like it, I will most likely enjoy it too. Some of the games on my list did get negative feedback, but I enjoyed them anyway.
Monster Hunter is NOT for everyone. It has a steep learning curve and you may miss out if you arent playing with othe people. You can however challenge yourself and if you are into collecting special gear and taking on bosses, then it is great for that. Someone described it as going camping. You prepare all the items before setting out, and you wait and search and hunt, then it's all you and the boss in fight to the death like the UFC!!!
I've written many reviews about the benefits of avoiding negative feedback. Read my Ni No Kuni blog to see why. I wrote an impression on Call of Juarez during the summer. It is a stylish western themed shooter, more like arcade style shooter with a linear pace divided into chapters. It's nice and short and gets to the point, and it was on sale at the time. It was in short, really great.
As for Disney Infinity. It falls into the category of --you need to sit down and play with it to see if you like it or not. That was the case for me. The basic game set has 3 action figures and three playable movie worlds based on those figures. It is very basic platforming and item collecting more along the lines of Legos video games, except unlocking items in game lets you play with them in a sandbox level editor, which is also another draw of the game. I enjoy 3D platformers that don't really exist anymore, except for Mario 3D Land and Sly Cooper, so it's nice to have one based on Disney worlds. I also like the action figures and plan on buying more becuase they look rad. It's an expensive game to get into. It appeals to the Disney fan in me basically.
I was dismissive about Infinity at first, but I've been playing the Pirates and Incredibles games, not so much the coop toybox. I particularly like the open world and platforming, it reminds me of Mario 64 or Spyro, Crash Bandicoot games. I only played with the toybox for a bit, but I'm still playing through the single player modes. It's fun. I want to buy more packs.
The game is very charming. I think they can add to it in the future and enhance the game, it can only get better I think.
This is even more ridiculous than I expected LOL. Over a tweet? Oh dear. But if true, still a lame reason for Diversity lounge.
As a staff writer you are obligated to cover this game Snee! You should get a 3 month paid sub from the site and review it properly. Just sayin.
I feel like a pay wall is such a hard thing for people to get past, including myself. But I just can't get from other games what FF14 gives me. I actually really like Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars, but I feel like I've given those games a chance and they didn't draw me in at all. Maybe I'll eventually give it a rest, but for now I'm happy.
