Gamepro: I have to give credit where credit's due: my experience at Ubisoft's Gamescom booth was the best of all the publishers I visited. It was smooth, organized, flexible, friendly and helpful.
There have been plenty of great villains in video games over the years. Now it's time for the VGU crew to name a few of their favorites.
GF365: "These are our picks for the best side-scroller games on PC. The genre was popular back in the day, and these modern games prove the genre is still alive and well."
If you’re new to this long-running franchise, we’ve got you covered.
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.
I wonder did he have to be connected to the Internet the whole time he was in the Ubisoft booth?
(get disconnected from Internet and go blind)
FarCry 3 and Anno 2070 have my interest!
Ubisoft also look promising for gamefest in the UK :)
lots of great games coming from them!
After the old footage i saw of I Am Alive id have love to have seen some new gameplay of it at gamescon. Still hopefully we see something this year.
rayman: origins is a Winner!
