GL compiles a list of some of the most mind-blowing video game narrative twists in recent memory, from The Last of Us to Outer Wilds
With articles like these cant you tag the games mentioned so that we can know ahead of time if there’s a spoiler to avoid?
Not clicking on your article otherwise.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
It All Sucks !!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally, DLC doesn't have much value to me. The most I shelled out for was for the Shivering Isles expansion pack - which is cool but I've played it all of...once. The reason being is there are so many new games coming out, so many excellent titles available across all systems, who has time for DLC? GTA4 DLC sounded good but I'm played GTA4 to death already. I'm onto Fable 2, Gears 2, Little Big Planet and Resistance 2. I finished GTA4, it was great and now I'm moving on. And given the price of games these days it makes sense to trade in towards other purchases, who holds onto their games anymore?
Or, it could just be me. Fallout is another example. The game already has 100 hours or something like that of gameplay. Are extra missions necessary, or even wanted, or are they in reality just PR for MS to say "Look what we bought for the glory of our 360 owners! Sony doesn't have this!" Well that's great, MS, but you're throwing your money away in my opinion.
Not just a problem with Live DLC...but all DLC.
We now have to pay for "extras" that used to be included in the price of the game.
We have to pay for DLC already on the disk to be unlocked.
Why should I pay for extra missions, features and power ups that would previously have been unlocked after completing the game at a certain difficulty level.
Sure, online gaming opened up a whole world of multiplayer fun.....but it also gave developers the excuse to sell us 90% of a game and charge a premium for the extra 10%.
DLC - No Thank You
This is a problem with all download content...not just XBL...besides, I thought the problem with XBL is the size cap.
This is what happens when you have a console that has less storage space than a previous gen.
The PS2 and Xbox had roughly 8.5 gigs per DVD.
The 360 only has about 7 gigs of usable space per DVD.
DLC is going to continue to be more and more of a problem for the 360.
