With the big hitting news from TGS still rattling inside the brains of Xbox 360 gamers everywhere, there are still many local events and announcements taking place over the coming week.
XboxOZ360 Writes: "You can bet that most of the Sydney based staff here at XboxOZ360-gamer will attend all 3 events for "just" you. We will be very diligent and take down notes, pictures, video footage and dare I say, even ask questions so that we can bring you the latest in the happenings of these major blockbuster titles which are set to hit the Aussie shelves in less that a few weeks time."
The mind behind Prince of Persia shares his family’s life story as well as his own as a videogame developer in an emotional and very personal book.
With the release of The Lost Crown this week, let's take a look at every Prince of Persia game released since the series debuted.
If you’re new to this long-running franchise, we’ve got you covered.
I recently tried 3 for the first time but the frame rate was a turnoff.
I liked 5 and 6 though.
If you have a Series X or S, the Xbox 360 version runs at 60 fps with fps boost. It's a shame the remaster doesn't.
2 and 3, pretty much the only ones i really enjoyed. 1 was amazing for the time but aged quite poorly. 4 has the elephant gun, all i can praise from any entry after 3 lol
Ummmm 3 than stop.
Okay maybe two as well. But yeah probably 3 and then move on.
Far Cry 2. People constantly rant about games now being too easy, holding your hand, having too many unnecessary RPG-lite leveling features, etc. People specifically complain about open world games being too focused on tons of collectibles and "checkmarks" that just waste time.
Far Cry 2 is an answer to all of those complaints. It was made by Ubisoft before they fell into all the traps discussed above (and before they started inserting towers into their games to defog the map). It has respawning enemies, weapons that degrade, and the collectible diamonds are very useful in the game (which you find in a similar way to the way you find shrines in BOTW with a radar system). The map you have is an in game item you pull out while playing, not a pause menu that is unnecessarily detailed. Also the enemy AI and physics are much better than later entries in the series.
It has a mixed reputation because people at the time said it was too hard, the weapon degradation was annoying, and then respawning enemies were annoying. FC2 came out in 2008, so this was before games like Dark Souls and BOTW had come out and made it cool to like these types of features.
Far Cry 2, the one with the AI that find you through walls and trees, can one shot you from a mile away and have 100% accuracy? That was frustrating not fun because cheap AI.
Uhh, I mean, it isn't one of these games where once the enemies have detected you they will magically forget you exist because you walked behind a wall or went into a bush. And yeah the AI isn't stormtrooper level accuracy. Again, these are positives, not negatives to me.
To be fair, I'm really directing this at the people most critical of "Modern Ubisoft" or "Modern Open World" design elements. Like the type of people who fawned all over Elden Ring because it had a clean UI because they are so burnt out by the "checkbox" type of open world design.
If you like those types of games, then a later FC game like 3 and especially 4-5 would be more your style.
I can't go to these, but seriously? OMG, if only I could get the chance to meet Cliffy B and tell him how much his game suckorz ;)
I just want to know about the match-making and how much its going to ruin the game for us aussies.
I'm very very excited to be attending :) Any avid gamer would be nuts not to go and play Gears 2 and such..
I agree with the above comments guess its time to show Cliff that us Aussies better not get shafted in online and we'll show him as well and tell him to not do the same to us in Gears 2 like Gears 1 and also IW on CoD4!
The Ubisoft event sounds fun.I want to check out EndWar badly.But most sites ignore it and report on R2 or Gears 2.
Don't worry mate we will cover all 4 games over the 2 days and will not let any fan out of the loop.. We will give equal time to each game and ask various questions for each as well so that no one feels left out.
