GamesRadar - 2014 has been a strange year for video games. Metacritic’s raw numbers, which were highlighted recently, would have you believe it was a thoroughly disappointing year. A paltry nine games achieved an average 90%+ review score, and only three of these were original games (as in, not HD re-releases). If we’re going by averages here, it all looks a bit miserable. So, why have sales of PS4 and Xbox One been so impressive? Why are people still buying consoles in the face of such apparent mediocrity?
An opinion piece on the best Alien games. From arcade Alien vs Predator action to a terrifying Xenomorph stalker, these are the best Alien video games starring Ridley Scott’s chestbursting, acid-blooded nightmare.
My favorite Aliens game also, having the three campaigns to play was great. Scaling walls as an alien waiting to ambush anyone that came too close.
Only played a little of the horde mode but was still fun.
Aliens Fireteam Elite was my GotY in 2021, single player was kinda bad but playing that game 3 player with friends was so good and really challenging on higher difficulties
Massive shout out to Aliens Vs predator 2 (2001), a dialup lag filled fun mess in multiplayer and 3 great campaigns
Alien Isolation Grand Mother VR is an all new virtual reality experience for Creative Assembly’s best ever horror game.
I played through most of the PS4 version of the game but stopped because another game came out. I bought it last year for PC with the intention of using the VR mod but haven't gotten around to setting it up. I am glad I waited.
Great game, even better in VR. A little drawn out by the end, but I hope we see CA do something a little different with the sequel.
Sweet. I also rebought this game on Steam for the purpose of VR. I'll have to give it another shot w full immersive controls. I had only tried it out briefly before.
It's funny this was never officially released at retail as a VR game, bc it feels so perfect for it!
Destiny 2 x Star Wars collaboration is here! Get exclusive gear, cosmetics, and accessories when Heresy launches on February 4th. Don’t miss it!
MGS: Ground Zeroes: Liked it because I went in thinking of it as a demo to Phantom Pain
Watch Dogs: Liked it. But can see why others disliked it. It was overhyped beyond belief
Destiny: Haven't played it. Can't judge.
"Why Were 2014’s Games so Divisive?"
Because the press made a bigger deal out of it than was necessary and all for the sake of a few webhits. Thanks, self-interested egotistical press. Way to really serve the gaming community.
I really don't think these big games are really divisive. They sell millions of copies, that means people like it.
Nowadays the web is filled with loud mouth haters. They don't like a game and maybe for legit reasons... But for some reason they can't stop talking about it. They go to the end of the world to make everyone know their opinion and they look idiotic in the process.
i think it comes down to next-gen hype. These games promised a land of next gen innovation and graphics, but they came up rather short of the hype; so there's people that ignored the hype and enjoyed them, and there's people that didn't and were let down by them. If you expect a game to be the best thing ever, you're going to be a bit bitter when it turns out that a game isn't.
