The best way to get to know a new game is to play it for yourself. Unboxing is a great way to see the beauty in the game before you’ve even bought it.
So far, I have only had one really bad experience with a new system. I bought an X-Box 360 (and an X-Box One) when it came out, and I played a lot of games on the system before I finally gave up. This was in the context of some friends of mine who were still playing games on the system when they got their X-Box One, so I was basically playing games on their system.
The first time I tried playing the game on my new system, I got so bored that I got to quickly jump to the next level as quickly as I could. But on my last try, after a few hours of playing, I realized that I wasn’t getting enough life. I couldn’t get enough of the environment, and I couldn’t get enough of the controls.
On the plus side, the game has one of the few achievements available to the X-Box One system, which was to get a complete run down of every single game on the system. This achievement also requires playing through the game on your system, which is a little annoying in itself.
Well, the game doesn’t have an achievement, and the system is way better than the 360. Also, the X-Box One is pretty damn tough to get a good run down of, so I don’t know if I would do it again. But it is a fun game, and if you’re a hardcore gamer, you’ll probably love it.
The game has a few achievements, but they dont seem to be very good. The ones we know of are “complete the game” and “have the most items”, and the latter is quite easy to get. The former is a little tougher, but only takes about 10 minutes of playing the game and you have a ton of items. That is a little unfair though, because the game also has more than just the game.
You get a very nice, fully-functional controller (I don’t think I could get one that was good enough for me), a nice-looking game pad, and even a cool, little bluetooth controller for the game. The controller is a bit of an eyesore, but if you’re not a hardcore gamer, it may not effect your play much. And that’s what really matters to me.
But really, its awesome. The game itself is fantastic. The controller is cool, and the gamepad is nice as well. The gamepad uses bluetooth technology that allows for realtime game control via the controller. This is huge, because its like having a controller for your phone/tablet/IPad. It also makes the gamepad a lot more fun to use.
I’m a bit of a purist about controller design. I prefer the old days where a controller meant you didn’t need to fumble with a big chunk of plastic, because you could just stick a button in there and snap it to shoot. I don’t like the idea of putting buttons in and out of the controller. That just feels like cheating. But the new controller is awesome. It’s like having a controller for your iPhone.
There are a couple of downsides to the new controller. First, it’s a bit smaller than the old controller, which is a bit more cumbersome to hold with both hands. Second, you have to use the analog stick a bit more, which makes it take longer to fire. And third, it’s just more awkward to use. I’m still having trouble figuring out which buttons are which. It really sucks, but the new controller is so much better.
