This year's E3 was one of the best as most of the press conference portion was dedicated only for "games, games and games". Microsoft came out with a clear message that they left behind the controversial E3 2013 and now the only focus is to bring back the lost faith of gamers to Xbox One, whereas Sony concentration was to take the terrific start of Playstation 4 to next level. Apart from this, there were some amazing third party game announcement as well. Now that crazy of E3 2014 has settled down, let take a look at most of the most anticipated games post E3 2014.
Despite No Man Sky's rocky launch, Hello Games managed to turn it into one of the best space exploration RPGs out there.
I hate the whole concept of "comeback story" because at the end of the day it doesn't remove the core issue we had in the first place, that we were lied to, it was disappointing and it launched with bare content to what was promised for years.
Any bad game can have a comeback story if it's supported enough after launch but for me if you launch in a terrible state then you had your chance. I can applaud you for what you've done after but at the end of the day there's not much of a choice since most gamers would blank your next product if you ditched your last game so fast, it's not about repairing the game but spending your time repairing gamers trust before you launch your next product otherwise it would be dead on arrival.
With these stories and the games being updated, the only way is up most of the time so of course it's going to improve the game and feel better over all, getting better and better as time passes. No Mans Sky, Sea of Thieves, Fallout 76 etc but then you have games like Anthem, Suicide Squad, Redfall and The Avengers where the devs just clearly moved on, now if they have another product people won't be as exited for it, I mean hell Guardians of the Galaxy was a great game but because of the Avengers it didn't help its sales since people were obviously still sour at that point.
I still think despite the improvements to games like No Mans Sky and Cyberpunk along with being better now overall the games are still not up there to what was promised and hyped as for years.
If we keep celebrating these “comeback stories” then unfortunately it only strongly supports the concept that these studios / publishers can continue to push half arsed broken products out for the sake of quick sales instead of waiting until they are fully finished. We need to condemn this awful behaviour or sadly we lose all voice and power as consumers.
I really enjoyed it at launch and had every trophy by August 2016.
The experience I had is no longer in the game: It was just me and my ship. It was a survival game and the feeling of loneliness in the universe was pervasive. There was no way to ruin too far from your ship and, in an emergency, you grenaded a hole in the ground to survive.
I miss that aspect, but since then, I love what they've done.
The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?
Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.
Saad from eXputer: "Almost a decade later, it's time to take the nostalgia goggles off and accept that Bloodborne has long been surpassed by its successors."
Yes, yes it does. It’s still a great game. Elden Ring isn’t better just different and a bit easier . I like that you have to be aggressive but smart in Bloodborne
If this list doesn't make you want BOTH a PS4 and XBone.... If this list makes you want to troll... then you are not a gamer. You are a soulless POS that would rather scream insults at people over the Internet then play good games. All of these look freaking great, and I could probably add several more titles for each console.
My most anticipated games of 2015 are Uncharted 4, Quantum Break, and The Division. 2015 is going to be great.
For me
1. Halo MCC
2. Witcher 3
3. Destiny
4. Evolve
5. Sunset Overdrive
6. Halo 5 (Arbiter and the going back to roots MP got me excited despite no gameplay yet)
7. Zelda (looks so ambitious)
8. No Mans Sky
9. Pokemon Omega Ruby/Sapphire (might be due to me finally playing Y this week)
10. SSBU
I wont lie indies do not get me excited I just take notice when they are about to launch and then I just google some details about them, so none are not on this list except No Mans Sky.
Sorry Uncharted you just fed the stupid graphic hype train and The Order looks bland IMO. Bloodborne got me intrigued, but I dont think it is the RPG I want so I have to see and hear more to be excited. Phantom Dust I know nothing about, QB is still a damn mystery to me, Crackdown is not fancy, and that Platinum game got me a tad excited because I love Platinum but still pretty much a mystery. I look forward to these getting me excited before they arrive though but for now I am ignoring their existence.
My most anticipated game for next year is Xenoblade Chronicles X, by a wide margin. Yes, even more than Zelda U and Uncharted 4. In my opinion, its absence from that list is criminal. :P
