Jo from GamersFTW writes: 'Every game deserves a brilliant villain, there is often more than one, and you know in the end you are going to meet your arch nemesis and defeat them in a blaze of glory that will be remembered for generations to come. So it is always a little disappointing when you reach the games climax and they put up no challenge whatsoever or it simply doesn’t fit in with what has gone before. You start to question what you have just spent hours of your life on to be greeted with this pushover.'
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
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.
Over ten years after its release, does Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain still impress? Jump Dash Roll returns to Snake's world for this Brutal Backlog.
I don’t think I’ve ever quite experienced an unfinished game that was slapped together with duct tape and construction paper to be sold as a finished product, basically making you replay the same missions and include a story that clearly was missing so much of the plot, like I did with this game.
I’m actually shocked that it doesn’t get calls out for this more.
Currently playing Metal Gear Solid so I had to quickly skip reading the part about Quiet =P At least I’ll be expecting disappointment now.
Really great list. Particularly agree with the quick time event bosses, they're just so unsatisfying that I tend to end up feeling overly frustrated - I want to kill them will cool combos and skills, not a finger tap!
Decent read but I actually didn't think the Quiet battle was that bad..
I agree, QTEs have no place in a boss fight. The final boss in Shadow of Morder was so anitclimatic that it almost ruined the whole game for me.
COD has to be my most disappointing...
