Xbox 360 started the craze, PS3's following suit with Home and now it looks like even the Wii is hoping on the achievement bandwagon.
According to one avid GameFAQs gamer who got to play the game, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption features a "mini-achievement" system which dishes out coloured tokens for completing tasks.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
Nintendo has announced the SNES and Super Famicom games gracing the Nintendo Switch Online library this month, and there are some gems to enjoy.
Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
Im a PSWii owner, if it becomes true then Im SERIOUSLY going to dust off my Wii :).
It would be FANTASTIC news.
I got to watch the first hour of Corruption before GamesRadar had to take it offline, and at various points in the game, such as after completing an objective or after scanning something, a message such as "Objective Completed" would flash on the HUD, along with a colored Screw Attack symbol. It's probably the case that these are "game specific," though, similar to way "achievements" on PS3 are at the moment -- Rainbow Six Vegas, for example.
... games have included things like this for years.
They make is seem like the very first game to ever do anything like this was for the Xbox 360.
But either way, guess it's kinda cool they're including this in MP3. There's just so much damn stuff to scan though... it can put a wee bit of monotony into the game if someone wants to unlock all the bonus material.
I remember when everyone that didnt own an xbox 360 though that achivements sucked... it seems as it's growing as Nintendo and Sony are trying to emulate Microsoft's achivements. And Microsoft's hates don't believe that Microsoft can do some things right... or at least they will not admit it.
As for achievements in the first hour of MP3, there were actually different colored screwattack symbols awarded for things like saving Federation troopers and defeating bosses. If they were only awarded for getting to the next objective, then everyone would get the same amount :P
