On top of all the successes video games accomplished this year, it’s interesting how we remember the embarrassing moments more. The failures, disappointments, and laughable “You’ve gotta be kidding me,” moments. Here are Rant Gaming’s Top 5 Dumbest Moments in Gaming 2012 so far.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Are you comparing a continuously improved 10+ years old masterpiece with the... beta of an unreleased game?
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.
As an author you should be ashamed of your self putting in baseless assumptions about crash and spyro not being in the final product
Then there's the issue of beyond 2 souls I personally haven't heard many people knock the game. I like many others are excited to play his new title
So Big Daddy, Toro, and Heihachi are obscure? So what are Ness, Mr Game and Watch, Ice Climbers, ROB and Pit? Characters that are older then Parappa, Sweet Tooth and Spike and haven't been used in decades. At least they have modern relevance on their side. Most people don't even know who Ice Climbers are. I was a Nintendo fanboy back in the day and even I don't know who they are. Also what makes the author think we are not getting Crash and/or Spyro. Unless he can see into the future he doesn't know that.
No offense but please stop trying to pretend that SSB had any wealth of characters to boast about. They ran out of characters so fast they had to resort to having three versions of Link, two version of Mario, King Dee Dee Dee, Sonic and Snake that aren't even official Nintendo characters and a bunch of retro characters so old that only the most rabid of Nintendo fanboys even remember.Nintendo made Mario Kart so much they started using Piranha Plants, green turtles and baby versions of Mario and friends. Oh yeah that shows a wealth of characters/s. Nintendo has so many characters that they have to scrape together things like Pokemon trainer, Mr Game and Watch, Toon Link and Sonic just to fill a roster
Look I know it's your opinion and all but it is a lame opinion. Just thought I would tell you. The fact that people keep saying that Nintendo's character work so well together just shows the ignorant fanboy they are. You cry that Evil Cole might be a character but you take three versions of Link without a single protest or tear.Half the characters in SSB were five times bigger while others were practically microscopic.King Koopa and Ness stuck out like sore thumbs.
Who ever said that Ness, Pokemon Trainer and Jiggly Puff looked good fighting Samus, Snake and Marth just shows the kind of delusions rabid fanboys have. Sly and Parappa look no stranger next to Drake or Kratos in comparison. People played MVC with Mega man and Roll verses Magneto and Wolverine and not a single person cried 'that is stupid' you played without blinking an eye.And yet Drake looks bad next to Fat Princess.
Changing dante.
I swear...people these days. At least we're getting games from Sony. Sure I don't like Wonderbook and all that casual stuff but you're disappointed with PS All Stars? Beyond Two Souls? pfffft.
What disappoints me is Microsoft's lack of games (besides Halo 4), Nintendo's lack of prowess when delivering a 'next-gen' system I mean really?
Pah.
