![]() ![]() What Red Faction: Armageddon gets right is its use of environmental destruction. The dialogue is cheesy and the fates of the characters never seem important when the only time I get to see what they're like is a few seconds in between long sequences spent blowing the crap out of everything. Games like Uncharted prove there are good ways to create believable characters with a mix of cut-scenes and intermittent dialogue during gameplay, but Red Faction doesn't accomplish this at all. The story is told almost exclusively through cut-scenes that break up the missions, with characters that we're told to care about rather than those who are developed so that it occurs naturally. Or, at least, they would be dramatic if the story wasn't so forced. ![]() Along the way there's romance, betrayal, and several other dramatic tropes. As if that weren't enough, Mason gets manipulated and used several years later, being forced to fight an alien menacethat's unleashed onto Mars in a struggle to save the few surviving Martians. Darius isn't living up to his grandpa's great name, failing to stop Mars' terraformer from being destroyed by terrorists, and forcing humans underground after the surface becomes nearly inhospitable. You play as Darius Mason, grandson of the protagonist Alec Mason from Red Faction: Guerilla. Having said that, today is likely the day they announce July's GwG, which will probably be 4 more hot garbage titles you've never heard of.Play Armageddon is the fourth game in the Red Faction franchise. It's already been given away with GwG back in 2017 (and again in Korea earlier this year) so many of us already have it. ![]() While I agree with you, this isn't the usual 4 games per month, it's a one-off region specific deal this time. This game has 71 on Metacritic which is borderline negative for a video game. ![]() I used to justify the annual fee by saying well, at least I also get some free games out of it, but I can't tell you the last time I downloaded one of these. I feel like since they launched Game Pass they save all the good "free" games for that service and only give away the really bad ones.but since Xbox users pay for Xbox Live, in a way we are paying for these terrible games and it kind of sucks. Games with Gold have been consistently terrible or, at best, average recently. ![]()
