Definitely intrigued by the Disney Infinity world now that the Marvel Super Heroes are in it. Also intrigued by Hyrule Warriors for some mindless gameplay. What is everyone else getting?

The problem with Disney Infinity though, aside form the expense hole side of it, the game itself was just "eh". I was so disappointed with it that I can not justify buying the sequel unless I hear the flaws of the original are fixed.

The major ones being that you couldn't share Toy Boxes online, not even with friends. If you create something, you can submit it to Disney and they pick a few each month to be featured... That kind of sucked IMO.
Then the actual play sets, some were noticeably more fun than others and others just felt like a chore to play through.

Also you can only use characters in a play set IF they actually belong in that play set, it was a pain in the ass for multiplayer and meant that most of the time, out of all the characters that were available, only three of them were actually usable while you were playing that play set.

I do love the figures though, they look great on a gaming shelf and the collection side of it is interesting but jeez... And those bloody power discs >.> the article jokes about it but honestly, the collection part of it is really what it is all about unless you have kids.

On that note: nothing for me this week, MAYBE Slender for X360. Hyrule Warriors if anything.
I do want Disney Infinity 2 but my experience with the first one is telling me otherwise.

Oh wow, I had no idea this comment would end up so long, apologies!

Sharing Toys Boxes has been confirmed to be in DI 2.0. Disney does filter any vulgar language that are placed in a text box for a character to say but that is the only limit. Characters can still only be in their own playset, and toy box of course, but collecting crossover coins allows certain characters to enter other playsets. There are plenty of characters for each playset now and all three playsets look to be fun.

I wanted Gauntlet when I heard it was first announced, so this is a likely pickup for me! Though I might wait a bit to see what people think. Hyrule Warriors also looks pretty sweet! Though I'm not exactly a Zelda mastermind so it won't have the same appeal it does to others. That said, that could be a good thing! Right?!

Can't wait to play FIFA. Graphics look amazing

slappy5083511d ago

Nothing really here that would keep me away from destiny, except for The vanishing of Ethan Carter

This list lacks of this game.

Stronghold: Crusader II

Anyways, really fantastic week for PC gamers.

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds473d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69473d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3473d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese473d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits472d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

shinoff2183473d ago

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.
