IGN: Dead Island vs. Deus Ex

IGN: If you could only get one or the other, which is the one for you?

rabidpancakeburglar4604d ago

Completed both of them. Dead Island is fantastic but Deus Ex is better.

BattleTorn4603d ago

Dead Island is my pick; if only Techland/DeepSilver would fix their game!

(xbox freezes when loading!)

clarkjudo4603d ago

This is not a trick question ... Deus Ex: Revolution. Dead Island was dead on arrival personally. LOL

zombie apocalypse vs cyber punk? sad and stupid comparison almost as stupid as the gears vs resistance comparison

Raptura4603d ago

Almost as stupid? It is more stupid. There's more in common with Gears and Resistance than there is with Deus Ex and Dead Island.

Deux Ex:HR is actually GOTY material!Dead island sure isn't!

MysticStrummer4603d ago (Edited 4603d ago )

I can't believe people (your disagrees) think Dead Island is even close to GotY quality. Deus Ex: Human Revolution, LBP2, Portal 2, Uncharted 3, Gears 3, Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Rage, Dark Souls, Batman: Arkham City... these games would have to cease to exist before Dead Island would get a shot at GotY. Dead Island would be a solid 8 without the bugs, but even that is no GotY contender. I love killing zombies as much as the next person, but come on.

Why, because Dead Island wasnt hyped up enough? Great game and thought it was alot better than most other garbage out this year!

Raider694603d ago

Todays mentality in some younger gamer its the none thinking mentality brought by games like Cod and Dead island....Shoot and frag and smashing countless heads...Games that evolve around the thinking and the pleasure of defining your own way and path like Deux Ex are rare and dont get the deserve status buy most of this young generation of gamers.Its still a niche game Deux EX and im glad.Best game of the year till now for me.

Deus Ex Deserves Better Than Being A Scapegoat For Embracer's Screw-Ups

Hanzala from eXputer says, "After multiple delays, cancellations, and ownership changes, the misfortune of Deus Ex continues; this gem of a series deserves better."

maelstromb76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

One can only hope at this point Embracer will need to generate an influx of cash flow, and what better way to do so than to sell off some of its IPs... namely Deus Ex, to a competent and talented studio capable of delivering a game noteworthy of the name in future. And thinking about it further, I don't know why Embracer would sit on the IP vs sell it if it means staying in business or not.

Five Annoying Video Game Openings in Otherwise Classic Titles

Some games endure despite the average player wishing they could skip that first hour - here are five annoying video game openings in otherwise classic titles.

I liked the Red Dead 2 opening, certainly didn’t feel like a slog to me, but I enjoyed that whole game so for those who were just expecting ‘GTA but with cowboys’, that was probably not the opening they expected, and Red Dead 2 wasn’t the game they were hoping for …

First game that came to mind when I read the title, was Watch Dogs 2, because you’re expecting an open world sandbox game in sunny colorful San Francisco, and instead that opening has you crawling and sneaking around an incredibly boring office building …

PrimeVinister264d ago

Watch Dogs 2 is a decent game but not really a classic. The opening is awful though. You got that right.

I loved the RDR 2 opening hours the first time but going back to restart it is where the rub lies for me.

Yi-Long264d ago

Yeah, I agree it’s not a classic, but it was the first game I thought of where I really thought; Why would you make that design choice!? If you’re gonna do a thing like that in order to teach the player some basic sneaking controls, at least make the location a bit more interesting, like an abandoned theme park or gorgeous temple or whatever, but now the gameplay was restrictive and boring, but also the location itself.

PrimeVinister264d ago

@Yi-Long Definitely true re the worst possible choices being made for the opener of Watch Dogs 2. I did enjoy WD2 overall but that intro is baffling :-D

shammgod264d ago

Red Dead 2 opening was trash

A Fan-Made Mod Recreates Original Dues Ex In Unreal Engine 5; VR Mode Planned

A talented modder is creating an HD iteration of the classic Dues Ex (2000) experience in Unreal Engine 5. A new video reveals more details.

cammers1995402d ago

Cease and Desist DMCA imminent. All these fan projects get killed because they can't wait to show it off before it's complete.

Finish the mod/game then show it off and release it. If you announce it early then it can get taken down.
