It's slightly different in Pixel Piracy as the tutorial is about 2 minutes long and features how to move, buy stuff and attack things. You're then left hanging for 10 minutes trying to figure it all out properly and effectively play the game.

The thing I found about Pixel Piracy is that at the start, it'll take about 15 minutes to fully understand the core concepts of the game which involves your crew and ship, so after about 20 minutes the game will continually get more immerse, fun and complex. You just have to bypass the first 10-15 minutes, although they can be fun too as you admire all the new things.

Prison Architect is an amazing game which I've spent a fair amount of hours and money with this game on computer. I hope that the port goes well because I feel it would damage the over-all reputation of the game from the perspective of the console players.

I think you need to get your cat more involved in your gaming. Every now and then just show her what to do and how to do it. I feel that you'll maintain a healthier relationship with your pet and maybe... Eventually... She'll know what's going on in the industry.

I guess I'll have to purchase the next Call of Duty and give it some thought into participating in a form of season... It's been a while so I'm not sure how I'll fit into the series any more but its worth a shot. Thanks for opening my eyes!

Okay, so you've helped clear it up a bit about how the different developers continually switch and have their own style and game-play but as a unique way of thinking of it that you enlightened. Each release of Call of Duty is like a new... Season, so to speak. Each season lasts approximately a year and with the new season comes a new experience and adventure to the whole game.

It sounds slightly appealing now actually... If I think about it as a season.

Re: A Portion of The Division's Open World Has Been Cut From the Finished Game

I've wanted to play a Tom Clancy game for a while as it's always sparked my attention, I was looking at the Humble Bundle (which I'm not sure if it's still present) that contained a majority of the Clancy games I believe, but I didn't pick it up in the end because I'm not sure it was worth it and I don't see the hype, I watched approximately 30 seconds of a video and it just seemed like an ordinary FPS game.

What makes Tom Clancy so special and would it be wise to pick up The Division as a first, or should I go back and get story or something?

I haven't purchased a Call of Duty franchise since the original Black Ops, which was great fun but I was put off by the continual releases of games, how similar they all feel and so I removed them from my wishlist a long time ago. However, since then we've seen CoD games such as Modern Warefare 3, Advanced Warefare and two editions of Black Ops. I still feel like they're released at an increasingly rapid rate and I expect them to continually be purchased whether it's for the story, the multiplayer craze or some kind of weird collectible.

But why is Black Ops III, in first position? The game was released 3 months ago, and for any game that's still quite a short period of time, but I wouldn't expect that sort of thing for a CoD franchise. A game with years of anticipation and a much more interesting community would be of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, and honestly, that deserves first position. Although, it's a matter of opinion.

If something has changed so much since the original Black Ops to make Call of Duty improved and more entertaining, I would be glad to listen and possibly purchase the game. But I feel it would need a lot of persuasion, I think I just grew out of the series.
