GamePro: "2009 sure went by quick, eh readers? It feels like only yesterday that we were sticking the boot into the most overrated games of 2008 (did Grand Theft Auto IV really come out two years ago?) Before we know it, it'll be 2010's turn. We're putting our early bets on Gran Turismo 5, natch -- provided it actually comes out this year. But we digress..."
While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.
Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela
They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.
Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.
I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.
Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.
Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.
Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.
One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.
I enjoyed the game co-oping with a friend I know the game in solo the AI can be an idiot but RE5 is way better then RE6. I played RE6 with a friend if it wasn't cheap when I got I would have avoided RE6.
5 was excellent, still play Mercs with my brother.
I would love a fully remastered RE:5, with some added, reworked content. The DLC for 5 was also excellent.
6 was awful.
I never understood why the game was misunderstood. It was a fantastic game at launch and is still fun today to play. It’s as action packed as Resident Evil 4 was, yet that’s regarded a masterpiece 🤷♂️
it was "misunderstood" because they introduced co-op into the franchise at a time when people loved to have fake rage about co-op. like, you could play the game as a solo experience, but people chose to have their bandwagon rage because it was cool at the time lol
Left 4 Dead lead Chet Faliszek describes the original Left 4 Dead game as "such a broken thing that nobody wanted to touch it."
And then couldn't be arsed to make a third game.
If they can add a lot more stuff to a 2nd game in just 1 year why didn't they make a third game a few years later with tons of stuff extra? Because that shows they could've.
I know Source 2 was kind of broken and was a reason they cancelled L4D3 but it seems wasteful to just toss it away.
Don't know what Valve were thinking.. it's like nobody wanted to fix the issues to get going. They certainly aren't the Valve of 2004 that released fun games with pretty cutting edge graphics.
What are they talking about? Seemed pretty alright to me at launch it just wasn't supported the way Valve promised us
They should have just worked on a revamp / massive update to the game but they didn't they jumped straight to a sequel with brand new characters despite having some sort, if small, story about where the original survivors were heading.
I didn't care for the direction they took the sequel, the original games tone and atmosphere was missing in the second game and is still unmatched. Daytime levels, more whackiness, melee weapons where you could attack a Tank with a frying pan...just wasn't the same to be honest and the new survivors just didn't hold up the originals.
Here's my speculation. I think they did a sequel because they didn't want to update a game co-developed by Turtle Rock, they wanted the franchise to be known as a Valve game only and knew if they updated the first one Turtle Rocks name would still linger on it.
Uhhh wait, did they just list every popular title except for Batman AA?
I mean, I'm sure there's more, but I wouldn't call half of those overhyped.
Gamepro = lost
Actually, I might need to edit here. Because, I just can't see some of those games scoring so low now. Wow.... maybe people are finally starting to throw around numbers the way they should be.
10 = Perfect 9 = Unbelievable 8 = Amazing 7 = Great 6 = Good?
lol
"few other games (if any) can match Uncharted 2 when it comes to top-notch acting and exciting setpieces. In fact, it's sometimes more fun to watch than play — which is a bit of a problem for a video game."
Lol what are they smoking? Uncharted 2 is not overrated it really is that good, like everybody say it is.. singleplayer is epic multiplayer is EPIC!! what more do you want???
'Uncharted 2: Among Thieves i
When it's not throwing cool scripted sequences at you, the action in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves can be quite linear and one-note. ' I don't recall Uncharted 2 claiming to be an open world game. Atleast Uncharted 2 does the QTE better than most game. I suggest you replay the train level because that varies quite a bit.
'The lack of environmental damage in the game is also disappointing.' It has the same amount of enviromental damaage as most games.
'Sure the game looks better than Gears of War et al., but at least they let you shoot up the scenery. We also think Nathan could have handled a little better — too often we fell off a ledge to our death due to the finicky controls.' The you suck argument feels quite in context here since I didn't have that problem.
'To make matters worse, there's usually no room for experimentation or error during the scripted events in the game — if you don't do exactly what the game wants, instant death awaits.' A game wanting you to follow a path *GASP*
Totally agree about MW2. That game was nowhere near as good as the original. What was with the ending when you're slowly stalking the military guy with a knife? It felt like I was playing Jason in a Friday the 13th movie. lol
Man I hate the Sims.
