Murdered: Soul Suspect

So what do you all think about this upcoming game? I'm slightly aware of this game and I've only briefly read anything on it. I didn't realize it was so close to release. I'm interested but I think I'll wait for some reviews first.

I need to start being more picky and frugal with my gaming choices and expenditures. I have to say this past year or so I've wasted too much money on only so so games. Is anyone else starting to get annoyed at all of the preview based accolades being tacked onto unreleased games only to have said games turning out to be just mediocre at best regardless of all the praise and promotion behind their release?

For example, Infamous Second Son. I never really played much of the first ones but this feels just like a prettier re-skinned version of those and not nearly as how I thought it was going to be for a next-gen console release. Another is WatchDogs. Now I haven't spent a whole lot of time with this one and though I'm enjoying it, and much more so than GTAV and Second Son, it still hasn't grabbed me as much as I felt it was going to based on all the previous promotion and delays. Like I said, I'm enjoying it but there's not a whole lot lately really grabbing my attention. And it disappoints me. I know it will take some time for the next-gen gaming market and quality and title library to get better but as I said before, most titles have been just okay. Not great. I'd have to say(and I know some will disagree), that MGSV Ground Zeroes to me has been the closest taste visually and gameplay-wise of what potential lies in this next-generation of gaming.

But I'm starting to feel that these pre-release accolades, that I'm sure are used whenever they can be to promote potential sales of the soon-to-be-released game, are cheapening their purpose especially when most serious gamers overall are not impressed thus far. These game compliments need to be used sparingly and not overly used or abused because the trend as I see it is that they are starting to not mean a damn thing anymore.

Not heard of Murdered but no doubt be put back until next year anyway...

I thought Infamous was nothing more than a nice looking tech demo and had cheap gameplay mechanics to make the game longer. Soldiers shooting and hitting you when you're moving fast as light, hows that happen then?

Watch dogs on the other hand has really impressed me, even bought the season pass, and I've been finding myself at gone midnight just roaming around doing the side missions and profiling people and the brilliant invasions MP which I've had more fun with than any massive 32 player TDM derivatives. And the story is great too.

I'm going to dive into it more today. When you walk up to a magazine/refreshment stand sometimes I see a radio that is hackable. Am I just hacking the turning of radio stations or am I actually unlocking music for my media app on my phone?

I think I need to just pursue some story-based missions to start fleshing it out for me more before pursuing side stuff. I haven't really killed much of anyone yet, mostly trying to figure out how to stop crimes which so far I keep blowing for the most part. Still trying to wrap my head around the gameplay as some of it comes at me fast.

Not sure about music at stores but I know you do get them from hacking peoples phones. I love walking round and getting info on people, makes it feel like a living city.

Once you do more story missions more side activities open up and there are a lot! Gonna have to drag myself off to play Elite beta when I get home

Murdered SS looks pretty bad from the videos I've seen and the reviews say it's far too simplistic and confined. Glad I held off from buying for once.

Yeah me too. I had my suspicions when looking at the videos and screenshots. And the reviews seem to confirm it. Maybe a rainy day purchase when its dirt cheap.
