Sometimes the word "stop" evades the ears of certain people. The people I'm talking about are those who seek to capitalize on a successful franchise by releasing a half-assed sequel.
While these people are no murderers or rapists, I still feel like smacking them in the face for selling out some classics. At least then I can pay back some of the pain those developers have forced me to endure.
Anyways, here's an ode to gaming sequels that should be shot, sterilized, and blasted into space so we may never see them again… God help any aliens that get their hands on these games.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
Relive the golden age of gaming with these timeless video games. From Wind Waker to Monkey Island, get ready for a nostalgia-filled ride.
I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.
Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!
Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!
I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.
I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.
Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?
Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.
It’s been 20+ years since the time that gave us Mulholland Drive and “Bootylicious”, meaning this look at the best games of 2001 is going to make some of you feel very old very quickly.
I think MGS2 was the last game you'd ever get away with what Kojima did there. Honestly, I had loads of trailer discs of MGS2... but had no idea about Raiden until I played the game myself. Now, it would be on the internet days after the game was announced.
I don't remember being disappointed, especially with the Tanker chapter, as much as I had hoped you'd get to play as Snake again. When Raiden met Plissken, I was hoping you'd take over from there... and again in Arsenal Gear... but it never happened.
I also agree with the others, especially CS:S. 1.6 FTW.
I tried to play Final Fantasy X2 but it made me feel strange things that i wanted to stop.
Especially went they met the pregnant lulu and they were all like let me feel it kick...i knew then i was playing the wrong game.
i hated ffx-2 with a passion. the first of bullshít ff games to come from square enix ¬_¬ but thers still ff13 and versus to come out to change my mind about them.
Did this guy say he payed 80 dollars for the version of Mario Kart wii with the snap on wheel?!?! Last i Checked it was only 49.99 with the wheel. This dude got scammed! No wonder he holds such hostility.
How come noone ever brings up the trick system when talking Mario Kart wii... that is the most innovative addition to the game while the rest is recycled. still doing tricks off every jump does makes the game feel so much more frantic... If they kept the 2 weapon system and charcter specific specials then Mario Kart Wii would have been gold... alas.
