Im sorry, but the fact that this list does not contain Neir renders the entire thing invalid.

Say what you want about Neir as a game, but "dat soundtrack" is the most innovative and daring I have ever heard in a video game.

No Phantasy Star Online.
No Final Fantasy anything.
No Guilty Gear or BlazBlue.
No Metal Gear Solid.

This list sucks!

Gigglefist4238d ago

Good choices. Dark Souls will always top my list.

AsimLeonheart4238d ago

If you havent included Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger then you dont know what you are talking about. No soundtrack list is valid without these games included.

Deus Ex Deserves Better Than Being A Scapegoat For Embracer's Screw-Ups

Hanzala from eXputer says, "After multiple delays, cancellations, and ownership changes, the misfortune of Deus Ex continues; this gem of a series deserves better."

One can only hope at this point Embracer will need to generate an influx of cash flow, and what better way to do so than to sell off some of its IPs... namely Deus Ex, to a competent and talented studio capable of delivering a game noteworthy of the name in future. And thinking about it further, I don't know why Embracer would sit on the IP vs sell it if it means staying in business or not.

I liked the Red Dead 2 opening, certainly didn’t feel like a slog to me, but I enjoyed that whole game so for those who were just expecting ‘GTA but with cowboys’, that was probably not the opening they expected, and Red Dead 2 wasn’t the game they were hoping for …

First game that came to mind when I read the title, was Watch Dogs 2, because you’re expecting an open world sandbox game in sunny colorful San Francisco, and instead that opening has you crawling and sneaking around an incredibly boring office building …

Watch Dogs 2 is a decent game but not really a classic. The opening is awful though. You got that right.

I loved the RDR 2 opening hours the first time but going back to restart it is where the rub lies for me.

Yi-Long263d ago

Yeah, I agree it’s not a classic, but it was the first game I thought of where I really thought; Why would you make that design choice!? If you’re gonna do a thing like that in order to teach the player some basic sneaking controls, at least make the location a bit more interesting, like an abandoned theme park or gorgeous temple or whatever, but now the gameplay was restrictive and boring, but also the location itself.

PrimeVinister263d ago

@Yi-Long Definitely true re the worst possible choices being made for the opener of Watch Dogs 2. I did enjoy WD2 overall but that intro is baffling :-D

Red Dead 2 opening was trash

A Fan-Made Mod Recreates Original Dues Ex In Unreal Engine 5; VR Mode Planned

A talented modder is creating an HD iteration of the classic Dues Ex (2000) experience in Unreal Engine 5. A new video reveals more details.

Cease and Desist DMCA imminent. All these fan projects get killed because they can't wait to show it off before it's complete.

Finish the mod/game then show it off and release it. If you announce it early then it can get taken down.
