You really had to be there for this. The mid 2000s "urban" third person shooter phase. Remember 25 to Life?
Hard to call this a quality title but it was serviceable enough of a tie-in at the time. The Little Italy mission disturbed me as a youth.

Huge letdown for me. I was so hyped to return to this, rushing through Arkham City because I had memories of this being head and shoulders above it. Ultimately, its not that different. It's "bigger" I suppose but you still spend a lot of the game running back and forth between the GCPD building, the Museum and the Steel Mill. Not unlike the buildings in Asylum. The side content is still hit or miss. Deadshot and Bane were a waste. The titan bosses still suck. I really don't need like 15 enemy types in one fight. The Catwoman shit didn't work for me, I just don't like how she plays. It's crazy how poorly done Two Face is in all these games given he's one of the best Batman villains.
The Riddler's Revenge mode is still good fun. I enjoy stalking and torturing these bodybuilder clowns in random locations. I'm not calling this a bad game but the magic is gone for me and I don't see myself ever returning.

Still holds up fairly well. It's a tight experience. My pros and cons are about the same. Love the Scarecrow segments, collecting character bios, the combat. Majority of the boss battles stink though, the Titan shit sucks, The Joker boss is still laughable. Some of the voice acting was stiffer than I remembered it was a good go.

My First Dictatorship is a lot of fun. Some extra textures could go a long way. It's a little annoying having the same bar over and over, and I'm not sure why you have to switch islands in campaign mode. I just bodied the British, why am I stuck in colonial times again? Oh well. Any game where you can stack the british up like sandbags is A-OK by me.

Second playthrough.
Enjoyable world and game play hindered by a horrible story mode loaded with nonsense characters. Every cutscene is 🗿 salvation is your freedom seek your truth sinner have no fear I am a martyr for your exodus 🗿 like ok shut the fuck up. Minutes later you meet any side quest NPC and 90% of their dialogue is "HEY FUCK NUGGETS LETS GO TAKE A DOOKIE ON SOME OF THEM ASS MUNCH PEGGIES!". it's exhausting.
I tried to get into the side features like hunting or fishing but it can be tough when you're guaranteed to have an enemy plane spawn over your head.

Typical far cry but with annoying bells and whistles added. Useless as fuck story with exhausting dialogue from cartoon side characters. I never remember these fucking people because they're all the same. They say random nonsense like "shit balls bro!" Or "im scared TBH!". Annoying missions because half the enemies are bullet sponges and you need to collect a third world country amount of resources to get the cool shit.
2019
Something of a tough game to rate. Too similar to Fallout for its own good. There's next to nothing changed mechanically. Which makes it easy to pick up and master. However, outside of companions it doesn't really lap the prior single player Fallout at much. Sure, you can RP easier if that's your thing but the world itself isn't particularly fascinating or fun to explore.
You're in this overbearing capitalist critique that gives no alternative beyond, "what if we put nicer people in charge of the shit hole?". Even the better side quests are beat for beat ripped from prior Fallout quests. It's a fine, worth playing once game.

Worthless piece of shit. You're an asshole if you like this game.

It's hard to put this down. It just taunts you. You can't stay away. You have to finish. It's your duty to SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT

*PS4 version
Much more fun than my original playthrough because I was with my BFF. Way too many bugs and glitches in this version, especially game ending ones. Loses a lot of points on that.
I'm certain solo I wouldn't have even finished this because it's way less fun. Not to mention the frustrating bosses.
What exactly did chuck do to earn everyone's ire? Half the dialogue in the first hour is about his dead wife or how his dick doesn't work.
Shout out to the aluminum bat. Great weapon.

2012
One of the most overrated games ever made. A drunk mess, every scene is stained with a piss filter, everytime you open a doorway you get a needless cutscene. It's like fan fiction. What if the protagonist got old and was really bitter and was hanging out in some spooky foreign country? Blow me.
Does everything the first game does but at least slightly better if you ask me!
2001
I always found this game a bit off. I played it at a pretty young age too. It's incredibly grim but yet goofier than shit. The comic book cutscenes and voice acting are like out of Dick Tracy or something. One minute your infant child is getting blown to bits and a level or two later some goon is going, "huhuh Max ur a Payne 2 the Max! Get it!? Haha!".
2006
My first playthrough as a grown adult I believe.
Considered docking this for the cringe Rockstar humor. Although I do think this game is pretty funny at times. The big punchlines (HUHUH INCEST!) aren't funny but the random NPC banter is good shit. The open world is still one of my favorites. The random chaos happening across school campus is hysterical.
I only found 1 mission to be flat out bad/poorly done. Maybe not all compelling and some simply shouldn't have made the cut (ie. the weird pervert ones) but I wasn't struggling. The story's a bit of gibberish because the main character Jimmy Hopkins is a flat out dumb fuck. On one hand his character is embarrassing but on the other it's a unique experience. How often do you play as a complete, bumbling moron? Albeit one who can destroy an entire school with his bare hands.
I feel like I should have more complaints but I thoroughly enjoyed my replay of this game. Alexa play What More Can I Say

A nice looking game, plays "OK", I suppose. It's a remake of a game from like 2001 so the story is non-existent. You have like 4-5 characters. This huge mafia organization that relies in like two guys to do everything. One of the main characters "Sam" is a complete blank slate, the other "Paulie" is a lonely doofus who's somewhat likeable. Tommy leans towards blank but inoffensive. The mission format is tired, could use some variety. Why not add that unused boxing mission from the first game back in? Most of this is driving slowly or shooting in cover. I thought I was walking into the best Mafia and came out with the worst.
