A Case For A True Reboot

Patty C. contributor to Console ControllUs - where the console controls us writes:

Some of the most highly regarded video games of all time, rely on their ability to tell a story, whether through the speechlessness and juxtaposed musical abilities of Link, the sorrow filled music, hauntingly beautiful landscape of Final Fantasy X, or the heart wrenching moments of The Last of Us, video games have done much in the way of storytelling.

A sad thing is witnessed when a game has the lore and background that lends itself to be a great game, but, the story itself is lackluster; an example of this is Dragon age 2.

Dragon Age Lead Says Including World State Reactivity Felt Like It Was "Irrelevant Or Not Enough"

Dragon Age 2 set the precedent that the series would always carry our choices over, but was it worth it?

If the choices won't matter, why bother? Bioware works so hard at giving meaningful choices but rarely if ever carrying out the impact of such choices to the end.

Any recommendations on The Invincible? Story worth investing the 10 or so hours?

Kyizen231d ago

Been wondering the same, I enjoy a laid back story based walking game but if the Story isn't interesting I dunno.

Kassanova07232d ago

Weak, I'm keeping at my backlog :D

Andy_Dee231d ago

Don't understand the downvotes. Literally a ton of fluff-games.. No premium here whatsoever. Couldn't agree more.

Could at least put one of the God of Wars, Last of us, Ghost would be perfect for those who missed since the new is coming next month..

Missed opportunity for sure.

StoneTitan231d ago

Ghost of tsushima is already in the catalogue
same with God of war 3, GOW 2018 and GoW Ragnarök
And for the last of us, its just TLOU 2 that is not on there.
Happy gaming :) You have been heard :D

Andy_Dee231d ago

@StoneTitan.

Yes, All of them might've been. I'm saying time to put some of them on there again! I have friends who bought ps5 now. They have none of those games. I'd rather have something new mixed with 1st party strong titles again than these fluff-games.

Each to their own but I think that's a way smarter strategy.

All of the franchises I mentioned are still ongoing btw. So why not get more and more ppl into them? I might sound arrogant but from a business perspective I feel I'm smarter than what they are putting out in this month..

Kassanova07231d ago

The drought is here for sure. Publishers are running out of worthy games to license. All this time spent trying to do live service has set the creative senses back at least 5 years.

Awkward silence.

Get Game Pass and you can play Hollow Knight Silk Song.

Michiel1989231d ago

for 5 dollars more you can play it forever

Loktai231d ago

Imagine having to invest in a dying gaming ecosystem to play a 5 dollar game for "free"

Profchaos316d ago

Hopefully its an improvement on the slop they've served up the last two months

Dudububu316d ago
