What games are you guys looking forward to. Anyone else looking forward to Civ VI and Watch Dogs 2.

Been looking forward to them since they were announced.

Was looking forward to Mafia 3, but having read and viewed several reviews, I think I'll wait until it comes down in price.

I was looking forward to Mafia 3, but like you the reviews put me off and will wait for it to be on sale.  I've ordered Watchdogs 2 and i hope it is much better than the 1st game, i loved the idea and what they were trying to do in Watchdogs, but it turned out to be average at best.  I'm liking Battlefield 1 a lot and have been making good use of the 10hr trial on EA Access, other than that im trying to catch up on the huge back catalogue of games i've accumalated whilst playing Destiny solid for 2 years

im about an hour into mafia 3, very good game with lots of narration, story and of course guns and fights. you could really argue its just like the latest GTA, and if that type of game is your bag then you wont go far wrong.

 

the graphics are visually stunning, and im very surprised how well the graphics card coped. (i would of assumes like most GFX cards that they go into overdrive and make hideous amounts of noise due to the fact its at 100%) but it didnt.

First part is really good, but the "Open World" part gets dull very quickly...

That's what I'm hearing about it, starts off very good but then it becomes repetitive. So far all the Mafia games, have had great stories, but it's the poor open world interactivity that stops the longevity that a GTA games have about them.

 

Mafia 1 was the best storyline, I had played in an open world game and I preferred it to GTA 3 at the time.

I'm still waiting for Sleeping Dogs 2???? well overdue.

So I picked up Mafia III for just over £20 and CIV VI for just under £40.

 

Played Mafia III first and so far in the first hour and a hour or so, enjoyed it, but during an early mission, the graphics screwed up, which seems to be a common problem. It wouldn't have made the mission impossible, just harder to complete, but I'm leaving it to be patched and will probably pick back up on it, because.......

 

Civ VI is excellent from the first 8 hours or so, I've now played. Yes it has a few non game breaking funny issues, such as telling me I need to renew a friendship when the player has been eliminated a couple of turns ago and not giving as much info to the player as it should. But overall, it is a well fleshed out game, that brings some great new mechanics to CIV. It's not perfect, but it is perfectly playable, particular for someone like me, who can beat CIV V on level 6, but not at the really difficult levels.

 

Already ordered Watch_Dogs 2 as I loved the first one, so hopefully it'll be even better and then CIV VI, will have competition for my play time.
