Mini-Games That are Worth Playing

Skewed and Reviewed has posted an opinion piece on mini-games that are determined to be the most worth-playing. The article ranges from the poker game in Red Dead Redemption to Super Monkey Ball.

I remember all the fishing I did while playing Ocarina of Time. That was almost as addictive as the main game

Garethvk4833d ago

It did take me some time to get used to that. My sister was great at it. I think those aspects are needed in games but the success or failure of a game or mission should not depend upon them.

I have always said MMORPG games should have some form of gambling mini game in them.

TechnicianTed4833d ago

I spent more time than was necessary playing dice poker in The Witcher 1 and 2. Just so addictive sometimes.

Anyone remember the game they had in Space Quest? Sierra used to make mini-game gambling a big part of their games. Leisure Suit Larry had the card game as well.

More like people don't play these type of games on their phone normally and don't try them out. Not like the places where people do play these games haven't crushed those numbers easily.

How many people actually played more than an hour of the game or came close to finishing it on mobile is the real question. If people aren't playing the games to a point that is purposeful, then why try when a subscription that is behind a streaming service isn't a sign of success but just curiosity.

What if Netflix becomes ‘the Netflix of gaming?!’

Alek83136d ago

I downloaded it because I already have a Netflix sub.
I am not going to buy it for $40 or whatever it costs on Google Play.

I tried it out and will be sticking to the PC version, but it's not bad.

Having said that, this is the issues I see vs the PC version:
1. Greatly reduced texture resolution.
2. Massive downgrade ALL lighting quality (this includes water, shadows, etc).
3. Stutter and heat. Prolonged play leads to both.
On the plus side, we have:
4. This thing is like 6GB vs the 12 on Steam.

Great way to try the game, but not the best way to play it.

Perhaps Netflix will make a RDR series now that ST is done with.

Lionsguard137d ago

A Netflix version of RDR?... Oh boy... I can't wait... /s

TheColbertinator137d ago

They should build a production that includes members behind the True Grit remake and Hell on Wheels from AMC. Both were perfect for wild west vibes.

but i doubt people ACTUALLY played it on smartphone vs tried it out.

Another free update...good to know but I don't own a series X

Petebloodyonion170d ago

I’m not sure what the exact issue is. I had no trouble getting the free update—you basically get the new game for free if you have the 360 version in your digital library. Maybe the problem is related to owning or not owning the Undead DLC expansion.

Hypertension140170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

Yea I think thats what it is. I also own the game but not the expansion, and im unable to download the update.
