Dan "Shoe" Hsu writes: So, a little while ago, Turtle Beach showed me the PX5, and one specific developer feature caught my attention: the ability to customize the headset to enhance or subdue sounds in specific ranges. This isn't just about turning up the bass or treble. Imagine, for example, making footsteps in multiplayer Call of Duty: Black Ops louder, so you can hear nearby enemies more clearly....
GF365: "Oftentimes, video games have characters who are antagonistic and really not very pleasant. Here are some of the friendliest characters in games where you might not otherwise expect to find them."
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.
Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.
I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy
Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.
Crows90,
I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.
narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games
The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.
The video on Black Ops 1 shows some separate rooms, assets, and other features which exist outside of the boundary of the game.
The PX5's are the X41's with PS3 and bluetooth capabilities. They are the same exact speakers and mixamp. These are nice headsets but super hearing to let you cheat? I take it the author of this article has never used a decent stand alone sound system while playing Black Ops or any other COD title.
I have a couple headphones in my home. I have an Astro mixamp and two stand alone sound processors that have headphone surround modes that can be tweaked to each channel discretely. Headphones definitely give you a different level of immersion but it doesn't come close to a good surround sound system, especially in the bass department.
I have bottom dweller subs that I nicknamed structural damage that literally make you wonder if they are causing cracks in your home foundation. I only use my headphones when the wifey isn't in the mood to have the house shaking. They are a nice diversion but don't measure up to a stand alone system.
With all that said, Astro A40's are the better choice for gaming headphones. Unless of course you do what I did and purchase high end cans and add a mic with a mixamp like the one from Astro. The is the best combination you can go with if you need or prefer to use cans to get your game on.
