The Nerd Stash: "Abiotic Factor combines some of the funniest and more challenging elements into a facility where dimensional barriers have dissipated."
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
Another Crab's Treasure spends much of its runtime commenting on the dangers of capitalism, and the character of Firth is the perfect example of that.
Little Big Planet is way more hyped than most of those games. Mario Kart Wii should also be higher.
I think STALKER Clear Sky should also be higher, but in general I agree (for now) with this list.
In adition, I didn't know nothing about Dead Island and Warhound (this webpage compare its graphic quality with Crysis :S ). I will inform me more about this titles.
"S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky" Wat?!?
should be good:)
I really enjoyed Okami on the PS2.
Okami is one of the best games last gen IMO and it should have sold a bit better.I hope Wii owners buy Okami,it is a great game really.
warhound and dead island- zzzzzzzzzzzz boring generic shooters and why the hell is LBP 55th- oh ok lets assume that a generic shooter like warhound is going to be better than one of the most original games ever
