I just wish with RDO that we got train and bank heists – that would have been the coolest thing to do with buddies. I also just wanted more narrative side missions to do with friends as the ones they did have were just the same 5 objective repeated. My favourite memories of the original red dead redemptions online is holding out fort Mercer with a friend and fighting off other online players who were trying to steal it from us 😂
I actually really enjoyed Watch Dogs legion as I played as Aiden Pearce throughout the campaign. It made it feel like a more cohesive story because he was an established character
FYI It’s LordS or Shadow, not Lord of Shadow
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (PS2) was the best 3D Castlevania we ever and probably will ever get.
I love watching your videos, but the problem I always have is the game list counter that has a bright white background, most games are not bright white but then suddenly the counter comes and hurt my eyes, so please make that background dark, please.
Mass effect Andromeda unfortunately suffered from rushed deadline greed. The game clearly wasn't finished and the poorly rendered faces were the straw… hopefully ME4 restores the franchise. The gaming world is better with AAA titles that live up to the hype.
The one for me was Ace Combat 7 for this last generation. Sure the VR mode looks kick ass, but only for playstation 4 consoles….Though my biggest gripe by far is compared to the last couple on the ps2 even, it felt rather bland features wise, would have loved to be able to issue commands to your wingman at least. That and so much wasted potential on the single player side for gta 5. Final Fantasy 15 felt more like a promo for a boy band than anything, Gran Turismo 7 was so bugged at launch though and had a number of key features missing.
I'm surprised star wars battlefront 2 wasn't on here tbh
Mess Effect Andromeda was meant to start a new series of games so anyone that expected to explore the entire galaxy or have choices matter much in the first game was setting their expectations FAR too high.
If they ever do continue the new series I'm sure choices you made in Andromeda will impact the later games.
Also the next Mass Effect game is set to continue both stories concurrently.
I want to note that if they do go back to the Milky Way it will make ME3's ending even worse because they will probably pick a certain route to be ending to the series meaning any other choice for ending would have been pointless. Let's be honest they will probably bring Shepard back so the Destroy ending will be the canon one, and all other endings will be tossed out the window.
Kingdom Hearts 3? :v
Castlevania Curse of Darkness is a far better 3D game than Lords of Shadow, period.
Castlevania would be epic if they did it in the god of war 2018 style. They should definitely study that game and work to emulate what it did.
I'm pretty sure the developer's of Shenmue 3 made it very clear before the game came out that it wasn't going to be a conclusion to the series. Expecting it to go anywhere important was basically your own fault. In fact people still suspect it will take at least 2 more entries to finish the story if they ever come to fruition, when/if that happens then I'll go back and play them all as one full package. xD
I still love Spore so much
Mass effect andromeda was the biggest disappointment by a mile. A follow up to arguably the greatest trilogy, and one of the greatest games (2) ever. Combat was fun, BUT the story was horrendous, the enemies came directly from a 2nd grader, and for a completely new galaxy, there was almost nothing new. Oh, and it was plagued with bugs
How about a top 10 worst gameranx videos instead of condemning these developers
The Order 1886 is a great game if you get it on sale for like $10. If I bought it for $60 I'd be pissed too.
I would like to add KH3. Waited over a decade for a game that was suppose to answer all unanswered questions and bring the story to a close, just for it to spend more than half the game traversing worlds that didn’t link to the main story. And fooled us all with the ending and how KH1 – KH3 and all the games in between was just the “Dark Seeker Saga” and just PHASE 1 of the overall story 🤦🏾♂️
Yu I Suzuki never has said Shenmue 3 was to be the ending, I hate when platforms spread misinformation read about the development
The True Crime series. While many games were aping GTA's formula, True Crime at least had potential by putting players into the role of a cop, but the games just never really went anywhere. The first game, Streets of L.A, had branching paths and multiple endings, but the plot was pretty forgettable and even at times kind of tonally inconsistent. The sequel, Streets of New York, had a system where the city got better or worse depending on your actions, but the game was incredibly buggy, and ultimately didn't learn from its predecessor.
There was going to be a third game, and we did technically see it achieve some of its potential. Sleeping Dogs, as many may know, was meant to be the third True Crime title, but nearly got shelved indefinitely when the original publisher, Activision, were extremely disappointed with how the first two TC games did. The series will probably never return, not even with a sequel to Sleeping Dogs, which has been something highly desired by many of that game's fans.
I feel like I’m the only one who thought watchdogs 2 was bad with how many times I see people say “watchdogs 2 is one of the best open world games”. The complete tonal shift was just jarring to me, I expected something brighter due to the complaints about watchdogs 1, but not “suddenly I’m in charge of a bunch of teenagers/young adults that makes dick jokes and has a plot that’s…scattered to put it nicely.” It forces you into stealth because of your small health pool, which would be fine but not for an open world…ya know a type of game where you’re supposed to have freedom and choice in how you want to play. There’s a lot more but this is way too long already
Am I the only one who found Watch Dogs to be epic and WD2 to be…disappointing ? I ain't even interested to play Legion due it's "abundance of protagonist…s" and it gives some high WD2 vibes than WD1.
WD1 had a gritty story, a badass protagonist, good camera angle, the atmosphere was great, the open world was good enough, the minigames were so damn good some of them even could have been standalone games, every NPC was detailed, like it was a lived in open world, the entire concept of hacking was awesome : npc info, cameras, etc.
My favorite part was the gameplay. The gunplay felt so smooth and powerful. The parkour based navigation system is slick, and the hacking part is done really well and they actually make that an important part of the game.
I understand about the hype and how the game didn't look as impressive as the E3 demo, but I think that's no reason to hate the game now, after all these years at least, the game delivers everywhere else real good (except driving lol. it was a pain).
WD2 on the other hand uhhh…too much gen z, why is a "good guy" going on a rampage ? camera angles weren't good, gunplay and stealth felt very clunky and not slick. the parkour was an improvement but I personally prefer the most realistic one in WD1. The new car hacking system was good but all the other hacking didn't felt as much fun, and the rotating things based hacking felt tedious as you had to run around now to solve that, like a generic puzzler. But the NPCs and their detailing are real impressive work, good job there.
I personally would rate a 6/10 for WD2 and a 8.5/10 for WD1
The Order 1886 looks so damn good. Really giving some AC Syndicate vibes. I wish the game was available in PC too, at least by now (days gone, horizon, uncharted and now last of us is also coming so…why not). and the gameplay too looks fun seeing the videos. But the thing that attracted me the most is the epic steampunk setpieces,, it's just badass. The closest to that we got was in Battlefield 1 (Vlackburn's storyline). Always down for a game with epic setpiece moments.
Cyberpunk is such a shame . Could have been so much more
Its lords of shadow* not lord of shadows
Shenmue III reminded me of Kingdom Hearts 3. I've been a fan of the series since I was around 8, and really hoped that KH3 would close the story. DDD tied a lot of the plots together, perfectly setting KH3 up. Sadly, they kinda made the story more convoluted and open ended.
Still kinda pissed about Anthem. Game felt amazing when you just started playing.. it had so much potential. but it became dull incredibly fast.
How come Days Gone is not here? That game got a potential to compete with the last of us.
Red Dead online really did have a lot of potential. I would’ve dropped more money on it if Rockstar gave it more effort. But sadly I don’t play it anymore. I gave up on RDO like they did.
I played RDR2 online with a friend, and enjoyed the hell out of it, even though it’s not a game that would have drawn me in otherwise. Not generally a fan of online multiplayer for one thing. But what a gorgeous game world. I really enjoyed it, especially when I could dodge randos and just have fun with my friend, or alone. Also, I played Andromeda in 2022, and I enjoyed the hell out of it. I had low expectations, to be fair, and I agree that the companions were mostly lackluster, but it was a fun ride.
Boring card games.
Anthem sucked eggs
I would add the blackout club to this list as well
One of the things I’ve always hated ab gta n red dead online is the lowered amount of npcs. I feel like that makes the worlds more empty than the lack of players. Saint denis feels boring without hundreds of people to populate the sidewalks and multiple parks that have their own pathing and behavior. Rockstar npcs are top tier and it really doesn’t get any attention in the online parts of their games. I get it probably helps with the p2p servers but loses the open world experience
WD2 one of the best open world games EVER? You sure about that? Other than the setting, what in the world gives it that sorta distinction? Certainly wasn’t the story and godawful, cringy character.
BioWare is such an empty shell of what it once was…. KOTOR 1&2, Neverwinter Nights 1&2 , Mass Effect (first one) were amazing games.
Rip anthem , still have dreams about what it coulda been.
My friend and coworker is genuinely pissed about RDR2 because he keeps saying how the game had only come out 4 yrs ago, but you would think it was a decade the way Rockstar cast it aside so quick but still keep supporting GTA5. Its gotten to the point it feels like he has a vendetta against the GTA franchise lol
