Of all time?? ..and you mention ambiguous games like RE 7 or Fallout ...It is hyperbole at least.....i will say MGS 1 and 3 , Abe s oddysee (on ps1) , FF 7 ,Monster hunter 3 on wii , Crash Bandicoot 1 (+first level)....and so many more better games than the article s list

LordoftheCritics1402d ago

Yea this list is below average.

Army_of_Darkness1401d ago

I'd have to say God of war 3. Fighting parts of Poseidon before actually battling him was Epic!

fonger081402d ago

Oh man just off the top of my head; FFVII, LoZ:OoT, Uncharted 2, BioShock, Fallout 3, GoW3, Metroid Prime, Mass Effect 2, Super Metroid, Castlevania SoT, New GoW, Batman Arkham Asylum, Halo 3. The opening scenes/levels to these games did such a great job of setting the tone for much of the rest of the game.

Yui_Suzumiya1402d ago

Especially Mass Effect 2 when Shepherd gets spaced. That was friggin epic.

LordoftheCritics1402d ago (Edited 1402d ago )

Much better than the list on the site.

Every time I see a ''best of all time'' list, I actually expect them to have played more games.

Thomaticus1402d ago

GOD OF WAR 3.... The intro recap of the entire story to that point and the first level was amazing!

KyRo1402d ago

No Uncharted 2 train?
No MGS2 tanker?
No COD4 ship escape?

jsawmma811402d ago

How is the first infamous not here? I remember talking to a friend when the whole screen went white and chaos ensued. Got my attention real quick.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii5d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast5d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM5d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife5d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit4d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife4d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Fallout Anthology Edition Looks Pretty S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.

-Foxtrot27d ago

It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did

They included physical disc back then

ocelot0725d ago

Forgot I ordered this until I got the dispatch email.

FPS_D3TH25d ago

I want the first two games to come to iPhone/android

Friendlygamer25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot

saint_seya25d ago
