Before No Man's Sky? Makes it sound like No Man's Sky is actually good or something...

Kerppamaister2821d ago

True dat. The list remains unchanged after NMS launch.

kraenk122821d ago

It's actually pretty amazing and a lot of people agree on that. No one cares for the sadness people like you express constantly.

BrandanT2821d ago

On the contrary, especially for people who are planning to purchase the game, people take myriads of different opinions in consideration.

And besides, it's okay if not everyone like the game.

TheCommentator2821d ago

You cared, that's why you posted. I don't have to like the game, and to me NMS is lifeless and repetitive enough that the fun wears thin after just a few hours. It's just as unfinished as it felt at its debut several years ago when I played it at the Gamestop managers conference.

Sad is the fact that you can't let me have my opinion without making it personal, but I'm glad you like it so have fun.

kraenk122821d ago (Edited 2821d ago )

@TheCommentator

I know you and your comments and I know just as you and anyone here that you don't even own a PS4 or a gaming PC.

@BrandanT

It's ok to have an opinion. It's not ok to pretend to have one without actually having had the chance to form one.

TheCommentator2821d ago

You are correct, but I played it at the conference I mentioned and I do have friends who own a PS4. I played it for a few hours already while my friend and I hung out the other day and it's really not that interesting. Kerbal Space Program has as much going for it as NMS. To each their own.

Seriously, stay on topic and don't pretend that you know everything about me from my posts here at N4G.

TheCommentator2820d ago

You're just mad that a game you really wanted to be awesome ended up being average at best, so your fragile little mind created an escape by taking it out on me. It's okay, you can cry on my shoulder all you like dude. It still doesn't change the fact that I've played the game and don't like it, or that your ability to comprehend such a thing is seriously lacking. I haven't heard one fact about the game from you or Razzer the whole time you've been in here, you just personally attack me instead of staying with the topic like an educated human being would.

You want to know a secret? I know I don't like PS4 exclusives as much as Xbox exclusives because I play most of them at my friends house (or watch him Twitch) but I dislike Sony more than MS for other reasons besides a lack of exclusives I enjoy which is why I don't buy Sony products in general. Truth is both companies do shitty things to consumers.

Grow up, stay on topic, and realize that not every opinion around here is yours.

Actually playing the game makes it seem like it's good or something. I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

P.S. Goddamn do I miss Wing Commander.

kraenk122821d ago

True man..those games were so epic back then.

Razzer2821d ago

Cuz.....you've played it? Didn't think so.

TheCommentator2821d ago

Yes, I've played it. Which is why I think it sucks.

Razzer2821d ago

@thecommentator

bullshit. you are a Xbox fanboy. your previous comments make it obvious. hating games you can't play

TheCommentator2820d ago

I hate Sony, I don't love MS. Big difference. My decision to own MS systems is educated, a fanboy's decision is not. So...

Quit attacking my character instead of the subject like a fanboy would and understand something, I can still play games on systems I don't own because... wait for it... I have real friends who I can go visit in the real world and play on a PS4. Go back into hiding, you shallow little person.

Wolfenstein512821d ago

Xenoblade Chronicles X should be on this list. Best space game ever!

TheColbertinator2821d ago

A Sony Liverpool gem of the PS1 era there

Gaming4Life19812821d ago

I know this game gets no credit around here but Elite Dangerous needs to be on this list but I do agree that everything on this list is great as well.

TheCommentator2821d ago

Elite Dangerous is planning to add tons of content too, which makes No Man's Sky look even more hollow in comparison.

kraenk122821d ago

Damnit...you don't get it, do you?! Stop talking shit about a game you didn't even play yet!

meka26112819d ago

But he's right. No man's sky is cool, but very hollow in the end. With how the ship autocontrols I feel like I'm on an intergalactic tour. Don't get me wrong, I like the game, but elite has a lot more potential.

AKR2821d ago

No Freespace and Freespace 2? Those games are awesome.

Pintheshadows2821d ago (Edited 2821d ago )

I was thinking the same.

No X either.

All games coming to PlayStation
Next Xbox will have steam

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic73d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

PhillyDonJawn73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

kaos8974d ago

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

jznrpg74d ago

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them

Why 343’s next Halo Xbox game needs to be a return to ODST

With its smooth jazz and iconic New Mombasa streets, we need Xbox's next Halo game to return to the remarkable world of Halo 3: ODST.
