Eventually It will be cracked and we will know for certain.

Maybe. Cracks are usually designed to bypass restrictions, not remove them.

I will say. Got on PS4 against my better judgement, as I was dead bored of Destiny2, and believe it or not, it’s actually pretty damn good. Quests are good, loving the rpg elements etc. and the world is stunning! I like combat too, though I think it needs to be a fixed lock on with scrolling like DS.

anyone else having some slowdowns ? specially in cut scenes on ps4 pro ?

10 Video Game Sequels That Saved Their Franchise

Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.

Immagaiden363d ago

Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?

Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise

SullysCigar363d ago

Thought the same - very bizarre!

RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.

ModsDoBetter363d ago

Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.

DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.

AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.

I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.

Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?

TheEnigma313363d ago (Edited 363d ago )

I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.

HellspawnPR1981363d ago

"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.

Hofstaderman362d ago

In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.

GOG is great but I just wish they added more current games apart from CDPR's releases.

Workshyskiver495d ago

Few publishers are willing to allow DRM free copies of their games for sale I imagine.

I wish GOG had been much stronger competition for Steam, I like their lack of DRM and collection of old games, and that they don't have the BS rejection system that Steam has for games like VNs and anime games. But Steam has more/newer games and a better interface/features that are hard to compete with.

Historically accurate from the past is tough to truly know and judge especially the farther you go back because history is written from the people in power and doesn’t mean it’s the truth just the narrative they wanted to tell.

I don’t care about historically accurate in most games because they are games not biographies or history books . Just make the game fun , good gameplay and such .

Ghost of Tsushima wasn’t historically accurate in many things but I loved the game . Many examples like it .
