i want to give a little background first
i have a lot of games.. i usually would just play a game a little and turn it off then play something else until one day i was listening to the youtube gamer named hard8times.. in one video he said he never runs out of memory on his hard drive for playstation he said the reason was because he plays one game at a time, then deletes it, then plays another game when he said this, it really kinda changed my approach he plays his games thoroughly, then moves on.. i was just playing something a little and then playing something else and not beating a lot of my games.. that's why i have so much in the backlog so i decided to take a page out of his book.. that's really a big reason why i've been finishing games and writing backlog reviews the latest game i played and beat was vanquish on ps3 here is my review overall this game is decent in my opinion.. i wouldn't say its that great but i will admit it did seem to get better as it progressed another thing i want to point out is i think this game was probably quite a bit better when it was new.. the game originally came out in 2010 one thing that was crazy about this game was it starts you out pretty much immediately fighting a huge boss.. i imagine that would possibly turn a lot of people away from this game early on.. the boss at the beginning was pretty hard.. one time when i was fighting it, i remember literally running out of ammo altogether... this isn't even a game where you're supposed to really run out of ammo so looking back, i feel like that was crazy.. but after you beat that guy, in some ways u kinda have the hang of the game so i don't think it takes away from the game the graphics on this game are phenomenal.. this must've been pretty much mind blowing in 2010.. it runs really well also, there was some slowdown but it was really rare.. it was actually a lot less slow-down than i would've expected with so much going on at one time the variety of the colors and environments open up more as the game progresses the sound effects were great, no issues there.. gun sounds felt legit, felt solid and appropriate.. all sound effects were on point the music was completely forgettable.. if you get this game you're not going to be trying to find the soundtrack when you finish it.. the music was just.. it was just totally forgettable techno-ish music and there is so much action that the music is almost hard to notice speaking of action this game is nonstop action.. the bullets are flying at you coming from everywhere at every moment.. the only game that i've played that comes close to the hectic nature of this game is killzone- where you feel like there's so much going on that any non strategic move is a dangerous move.. this game is totally hectic to the extreme the gameplay felt like it got better as i continued playing... the guns were satisfying to use... the main one i used was the heavy machine gun but they all had their specific pros.. for example- if you use the blade gun then you can use it to melee without overheating your suit some of the design choices in the game got frustrating.. the constant slo-mo and overheating in the game were a bit much.. when your suit is overheating you can't even melee also some of these enemies are able to one shot kill you.. and cover is hit and miss in this game.. sometimes you are safe in cover but sometimes you will still get merked if you don't maneuver away from a particular blast or something.. also some of the cover can be destroyed.. in the final boss fight the cover lowers into the ground after a while so you keep running around trying to find cover before it lowers again this game has none of the ridiculous politics of today.. the women in the game are women and the men are men.. there is no feminism or anything like that which was great.. for me its refreshing to play a game where the men are the heroes and the women have a supportive role.. because it reflects real life, and i get tired of these games trying to switch that up... making women masculine and men feminine it was nice playing a game with none of the modern day crap they put in entertainment, such as gays, trannies, women who can beat up 10 guys, kids who outsmart their "dumb traditional" dads, etc there was a woman president, but it didn't feel forced or anything like that as for the story.. the story was good in my opinion.. for the most part, it was fairly one note, but there was a twist or two in there.. also some of the cutscenes had a good amount of action loved the main character.. he was really cool.. he kinda reminded me of sebastian castellanos from the evil within .. except this guy seemed to be like.. a tad more aggressive also this game reminded me of metal gear rising revengeance.. and i realized the reason why is because they're both platinum games.. but this game is a lot better than rising revengeance in my opinion (i hated that game) overall for me this game was about a 7 out of 10 not going to lie, some of the decisions in this game make me want to give it a 6.5.. but factoring in the age of the game.. i'll rate it a 7 the only way i would recommend it is if A. you were already interested in it B. you have nothing better to play C. you have a lazy weekend on deck and want to play something i don't think it will exactly knock your socks off, but you won't regret playing it- because it is decent last thing i want to say: final boss was pretty tough.. oil up your thumbs or that final situation will cuck you
