The Game Rant Game Guide: November 11 Edition

As an open world game, some issues were expected but many players agreed that these were unacceptable. Plus, they were following on from other Unity controversies including its lack of playable female characters, a decreased framerate on consoles, and Ubisoft's decision to include microtransacti

However, once again, Raven Software’s dedication to preserving the game rears its ugly head. While Modern Warfare Remastered’s multiplayer component is enjoyable, it feels extremely outdated as mechanics that were fixed in future entries are broken here. Infamous perks like Martyrdom, Frag Grenades x3, and Juggernaut are still present; there’s no effective counter for killstreaks, meaning a winning team can easily drown the losing team in a barrage of UAVs, airstrikes, and helicopters; and of course, there’s the infamous quickscoping, which Infinity Ward is patching out of their latest Call of Duty game due to backlash. Oh, and you can't forget about the noobtubes. Raven Software’s dedication is admirable but should have been more lenient when it came to balancing. When other Call of Duty games have removed perks like Martyrdom for balancing reasons or gave players lock-on weapons to counter killstreaks for balancing purposes, then it’s probably best to include those changes.


As November rears its head, it signifies the beginning of the end of the Holiday Gaming season. This is what gamers have been waiting for, all of the heavy hitters are set to release in this month. Whether you want to be a soldier on the front lines, find treasure or experience a fantastical middle-earth adventure, there is sure to be something for everybody this November, and here at Game Rant, we've compiled which games we'll be playing this mo


Driveclub was hit with multiple delays before it was released in October 2014 and as a result it's easy to forget that the game originally announced as a PS4 launch title. So with almost 11 extra months in the oven, was Evolution's PS4 exclusive a hit? As a single player fps game Walkthrough, yes, it succeeded. The multiplayer component, however, was a complete trag


It's hard to remember a time when so many great games were flooding the market after the holidays. Capcom is rolling out some cool hits, continuing the Resident Evil franchise with Resident Evil: Revelations on the 3DS and topping it off with the wacky and out of control Asura's Wrath . It's just insane and Japanese enough to grab my attention. Jak and Daxter will make their return to the PlayStation in glorious HD and I couldn't be more elated to play through one of my favorite trilogies again. Yes, it was a trilogy. The spin-offs don't co


Unfortunately, players would have a hard time getting into that multiplayer, as The Master Chief Collection 's matchmaking has been notoriously terrible. Players were unable to get into matches – sometimes having to wait for hours – and although a patch was released following the game's release, it took more than a dozen patches to solve the problem once and for


Three heroes have also seen some major adjustments. For McCree, Deadeye now begins to lock onto targets after 0.2 seconds, instead of the previous lock-on time of 0.8 seconds. With Reaper, you'll now regain 20% health from all damage done to heroes. Roadhog's head hitbox has also been reduced by 20%, while his Scrap Gun will now do 33% less dam


Finally, some general changes and bug fixes have been made to the overall game. Players will no longer lose progress on their On Fire meter, your first win won't count as a loss in career mode any more, and Sombra will no longer be able to get out of the playable area on Eichenwa

In the face of Assassin's Creed: Revelations and a chance to relive the original Halo with Anniversary I'll have my hands full this month. And while Skyrim looks prepared to consume the rest of my existence, it seems it will have to wait until the Christmas break. Oh, and that's overlooking my need to finish Arkham City, Gears of War 3 and Forza 4 . Ye

If there’s one thing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered proves it’s how to remaster a game's visuals properly. Modern Warfare Remastered is the most extensive visual upgrade any remaster has ever received yet, being more in line with a remake than an actual remaster. Character models and textures have been completely redone, the lighting engine has been replaced, and the environments have been overhauled to show extra details. An empty street and field in the training mission is now littered with tanks, soldiers jogging, jets flying overhead, and even the addition of a grenade training playground. It’s a stunning overhaul, and Modern Warfare Remastered raises the bar for all future remasters.


Yes, SSX is hands-down my most anticipated game of February, but holy cow! There are a ton of games hitting this month. I'd like to spend some time with Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning , though I suspect I'll still be too busy with Final Fantasy XIII-2 to bother. Meanwhile, Rhythm Heaven Fever is just the kind of quirky distraction I love -- plus, at only $29.99, it's cheap! Post Uncharted 3, it would be fascinating to revisit Naughty Dog's earlier work in The Jak and Daxter HD Collection, even though I only ever really enjoyed the first of those ga
