Nice use of Drake for your picture choice. ~.0

Kratos? loool you can ask him to kill a god and hed do it!

I wouldn't trust Travis for a second.
And Shepherd depends heavily on who's playing him.

I say Rico from the killzone series. Now that's a guy who refrains from disobeying orders if it's of interplanetal importance.

I wouldn't trust any of these guys.

They all go around doing whatever the hell the feel like and never pause, even for a moment, to consider the consequences of their actions. That's the height of reckless irresponsibility.

Not to mention that fact that most of them are unemployed, and none of them are capable of maintaining an actual human relationship.

Thanks to tags, I don't have to read articles. Thanks for showing the tags at the top of the page, N4G.

Seriously...can we get rid of those? They ruin every article.

Any protagonist from any bethesda game is a disaster waiting to happen.

I mean, they will help you out with any problem you may have. But when all is said and done they're likely to steal all your stuff and all your friends stuff. Then kill you and everyone you know.

You just can't trust those wankers.

The 7 Best Vampire Games: Embrace the Night

Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.

SimpleSlave35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.

A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.

The_Hooligan35d ago

IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.

SimpleSlave35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.

But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.

But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.

Thats the best Vampire game ever, but enough talk, have at you!.

SimpleSlave35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

I've lost all hype for Bloodlines 2. It's going to be an action game.

Barlos35d ago

No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.

Relientk7735d ago

I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.

The prevalence of parrying: Why is it so popular?

Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way.  Why?

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

Dudeson44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
