FallOut 4
Everyone guessed that Fallout 4 was going to be one of the biggest selling games of the year, if not the decade and they weren’t wrong. Fallout had sold over 1.8 million copies within the first 3 days of the game being out. Why is this game so popular you ask? Besides the fact it’s probably got the best marketing for a game, the gameplay is incredible. With a surprisingly engaging story, and a vault load of side quests and interesting characters to explore, Fallout 4 is the best open world game in long time. It’s the kind of game you wait years for, only to have it exceed your expectations. Many people were sceptical of game, saying it was built up too much, and when doing this it makes it easier for the game to fail. But long-term fans of the franchise were exceptionally pleased with the game, and how it felt. In previous Fallout’s such as Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, the game felt clumpy at times, they couldn’t get the fluidity just right, something that the game’s developers pointed out. Its easy for games to use old layouts, and stick with the game engine, but with new technology and the fact these games can take more memory due to the next gen consoles, everything could be made from scratch. Because there’s nothing worse than paying £40 for a new game for it to be almost identical to the last one. Yes we are looking at you E.A. With its 200% increase of copies sold to the last fallout, its rocketed this game up there with the greats. So grab your Pip Boy, say goodbye to life as you know it, because this is a must play game to end the world of gaming!
When the last game in the GTA franchise was realised the world went mad. It sold 11.21 million copies and generated £511.8 million in its first 24 hours. The open world of car chases, crime and shooting gave the gamer’s world a new look at open world gaming, even better than the pervious games in the franchise. The GTA franchise has been popular since the first game was release but with this popularity so has come the disgust at such a violent game. Nevertheless the game has survived and is still growing and thank goodness it has. The graphics were worth the wait and the story is awesome as well as it small side missions to play as you go through. The driving is awesome and the modifications that you do to the cars means you can make your cars fit your personality and in this one you can leave it and pick it up again later from the impound whereas in the old ones if you parked your car for to long it would disappear. This means when you spent money on your car you wouldn’t lose it. The lack of being able to buy extra garages in story mode meant you couldn’t have as many cars as you want which was a slight disappointment. The online of the game took a while to fix the bugs but is awesome now with unorganized races, and random shoot out, awesome new cars and some incredible new missions and the ability to buy more garage spaces in the open online world. The games changed the way you played and the ability to switch between three different characters in story mode and was a great twist. The maps is huge and there is always something to do, being a criminal has never been more fun, so cover your face, find a getaway car and make a team, now lets go rob a bank!
