Yeah, but the grunts were previously limited to specific levels, like in platformers; or a limited explorable area, like in older Metal Gear games. Combining grunts with massive open worlds is on another level. I can only take out so many pickup trucks of dumb bad guys in Hope County before my eyes start to glaze over and my thumbs are starting to go numb.

The grunts/boss cycle has been a staple or gaming for years. As every game seems to be adapting RPG elements this is only going to become more prevalent.


I get that but somebody needs to break the trends in these superhero games.. they have an entire universe of villains... imagine if spiderman comics had 1 issue vs a major villain n the next 5 were against random grunts

If the game was just 10 boss fights everyone would complain the game was too short. There would also be no sequel because every villian would be beaten. There needs to be a happy balance. In Spider-Man for instance, most of the goon fights/grind are entirely optional side quests. The main storyline is compelling and has a great flow.

There's also development cost that needs to be considered. Those boss fights take considerable more resources to make.

Maybe the second game will have more bosses?

Not even so much boss fights just incorporate regular spiderman villains into parts of the game

There are at least 11 Spider-Man villians/antagonists in this game.

Borrowed FarCry 5 from my brother in law.

I'm not really seeing what all the hate is about. So far it's pretty standard Far Cry fare. The story is maybe a little dumber than the others i guess.

I wouldn't say I hated it. I was just disappointed that it was just more of the same after the initial opening.

I've been playing Rocket League on handheld Switch every chance I get, which isn't very often but I had a few hours to play over the weekend which was nice. Also, about 30 minutes this morning and last night. :)

I'm getting pretty good, I think.

Playing through the Last of Us New Game Plus to get the platinum. Survivor or Grounded difficulty is really the only way to play to truly immerse yourself in the experience. Plan to finish it before Red Dead next weekend.
