The Player 2 team discuss their biggest gaming surprises for 2017. The games and systems that beat all expectations and turned out wonderfully despite the worry pre-release.
Square Enix hints at NieR Automata sequel during its 9th anniversary livestream as the game surpasses 10 million copies sold worldwide.
lets not get our hopes up too soon
a sequel could mean anything, a drama cd, a theater play or a novel ha
Call of Duty: Mobile’s new NieR: Automata crossover launches with Season 5: Primal Reckoning, with new skins and weapons to grind for.
It took going back to a much older game to realise just how empty Assassin's Creed Shadows feels.
"I've never thought feudal Japan would be a good Assassin's Creed setting. Give me 1960s southern England with mods and rockers."
Aaaaaaand that's where I stopped reading.
I agree with the first part of their statement. Japan is so overused and it wasn't particularly interesting in Shadows. Now that it's been done, they can do something better.
And shadows reminds me of something origins is lacking. Virtually every game is lacking something. It is because it is lacking, that it has what it isnt. Funny dichotomy that…
Origins is a beautiful game made by talented people that got turned into a brutal level-gate fest by the CEOs.
There are only a few Assassin's Creed games I played. Original, The Ezio Collection, and what I think is probably the best in the series Assassin's Creed Odyssey with the DLC. I'm done with the series, it's the same shit.
Same, enjoyed 1, looooved the ezio trilogy, and 4 was peak, everything after that just sucked. Unity was a great direction but the bugs and how long it took to fix killed it, best parkour system in the series tho
The biggest surprise is that the Switch has sold 10 million by December ( official Nintendo sales figures )
Xbox vs Playstation this gen the playstation is the clear winner. But Nintendo also appears to be the winner as well with their top rated exclusives and massively selling new console.
2017's biggest gaming surprises for me:
1. Nintendo Switch: its exclusives were insanely fun (Zelda, Mario, and Kingdom Battle, seriously, who expected the last one to be that fun?!) and I'm very much looking forward to the future with it.
2. Star Fox 2: I never thought we would ever get a proper release. About time.
3. Star Wars Battlefront 2 fiasco: EA proves again why I dislike them in the highest sense, but the community uniting was fantastic!
4. Last but not least, not in any way, you guys on n4g. Its been a fun year griping with, agreeing on, and pissing off every single one of you. Best social gaming site since gamecubeland. Seriously, though. You guys are great.
My biggest surprise was how amazing Yakuza 0 is. How many games I bought in 2017.
