It used to be interesting - in the original Tomb Raiders for example. But then it can't be as cinematic and you might actually fall off and die and have to do that bit again.

Updated for Uncharted 4.

How irritating and tiring does it become that every single bridge will begin to collapse as you approach the middle, that one in every 5 platforms you latch on to will crumble, and every time he goes down a 'slide' he'll shout 'No no no!'?

At least from what I played of Rise of the Tomb Raider the slippy grip was fairly randomised meaning you had to be half awake to survive a climbing section. They really need to figure out a way of making that kind of traversal in some way interesting, because in theory it should be exciting, but ends up leaving me wanting to be moving along the ground at regular speed.

First it has to happen a lot less so it's at least a surprise, perhaps adding different routes depending on how your traversal succeeds/fails? It's always just go back 10 steps and do it again, so there's no real penalty to make you concentrate in those sections.

Updated with Bioshock 2 and Minerva's Den.

Nice.
Minerva's Den is superb.

It really was, superb little slice of Bioshock. Could've had lots of episodes like that. Infinite next...

I got Doom cheap from Game so I'm going to whistle through that after Firewatch, which is up after Mirrors Edge. I'll finish a few cheeky DLCs to get the completions along.

I also have Doom. 2 levels in, I'm enjoying it, but not seeing this GOTY chat from everywhere.

Firewatch started and completed today. I really enjoyed this game, immersed myself into the setting, art style, story and dialogue. Perfect length for a Sunday afternoon session, excellent stuff.

Just under five hours, a lengthy session granted.  There was nowt better to do.

New!

Also welcome.

I'm new here and figured this would be a great way to start. There's no way I'll ever hit 52 but I love the idea, I have a bunch of games (mainly backwards compatible stuff) that have been sitting there unplayed or unfinished for so long, so count me in.

Amazing, great name too...I'll add you to the op!!

I'm at the finale of RotTR.  Then need a nice short game to keep the momentum up...

Hello new chap, welcome to the forum.

Firewatch?

Don't own it.  Stacking I guess, plus some other indie shite

New member but count me in! I seem to have amassed quite a few games since getting me One S so this will give me an incentive to play something other than Destiny. I'm going to go for completing the main story on most of the games I play, not going for collection etc. unless it counts towards the main story. Looking forward to the challenge.

Here goes....

1) Halo 3 (Master Chief Collection)
Great game, some of my first real online PvP gaming experiences came from this game and I will never forget the experience of going to the midnight launch with Verecocha and HaramabeBomaye - 10/10
Time: 4 hrs 12 mins

2) Skate 3
Such a time sink (although I can't seem to find total time played?) and great fun. Can be infuriating as sometimes the physics seem to do their own thing. Counting this as completed as I have done all available goals/tasks - 9/10
Time: Unknown

3) Portal 2
This one is a carry over from last year and this was my second play through. I still enjoyed the game, but I have to admit this time Steven Merchants voice did grate on me a little. This play through also made me realise that this game has a hell of a lot of loading screens!! - 6/10
Time: Unknown

4) Far Cry 4
No matter how many times I play this game I never tire of it! In my opinion it's a great open world shooter and the auto drive feature is such a good addition!! - 9/10
Time: 24 hrs 35 mins


UPDATES!!!

5) Destiny
Got to LL400. Feel like this game owns my soul. Not much else to say
999999999/10
Time: An Eternity

6) Fallout 4
My umpteenth play through this time consisted of all the DLC. Can't rate this game enough, absolutely LOVE IT!
10/10
Time: 3 days total

7) Forza Horizon 3
Counting this as completed as I finished the final showcase and got the cheevo for driving all roads. Good game but expectedly repetitive.
7/10
Time: Didn't track

Halo 5
It's Halo, what more could you want.
10/10
Time: Didn't track

9) Lego Dimensions
Say what you want about this game, I love it. It's an absolute money pit and to be honest if I wasn't a fan of physical Lego I would avoid it like the plague. One of the biggest redeeming features is you end up with some cool minifigs and micro builds.
5/10
Time: Didn't track

10) Resident Evil 5
Great game, even better with unlimited rockets. The only Resi game I have played so I can hands down say it's my favourite. Main negative is combat could be better.
8/10
Time: 36 hours

11) Little Big Adventure 2 (Steam Store)
Loved this game when I was a kid so thought another play through was in order. It did not stand the test of time. Some things are best left in the past.
5/10
Time: 9 hours approximately

I still haven't finished Just Cause 3 and have started a bunch of new games too so not going to bother listing them until I finish.

the fuck is going on hold me
