WP: "When the first Saints Row game was announced in 2006 for the Xbox 360, people quickly dismissed it as just another Grand Theft Auto clone. The early screenshots and movie clips made the game seem like nothing more than a cheap knock off of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in high definition and without the depth of the Rockstar Games gem. Once the demo and subsequent game were released in August of 2006, however, many opinions changed. The game had a goofier vibe to it thanks to the various side-quests that became more ridiculous than the last. More importantly, it beat Grand Theft Auto to the online punch by adding multiplayer games for up to 12 people. The game was such a huge hit that there was talk of a PS3 port of the game before it got cancelled. Two years after the release of the original title, THQ and Volition have teamed up once again to release Saints Row 2 for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Like the original, this is a game that is not only proud to copy some of the things that Grand Theft Auto did right, but it also does a few things on its own to make it more fun than the original title."
Drive it like you stole it.
While a lot (like way too many) games launch in sorry states these days, a lot of them do eventually get polished up over time fixes. The same can’t be said for these properly broken games.
Worst for me is wipeout 2048.
I got gold in every single player race, made it extremely far into the great online shop platinum was a finger away.. then lost all my online progression. Many players experienced the same and hadn’t been fixed since
Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky are obviously the 2
best comeback stories. Cyberpunk is literally one of the best RPGs ever made now.
junctioning is only broken now because it's been datamined which monster which gives which card and which card gives which items and every single spell to junction with the highest points for each stat. For it's time when that info wasn't readily available it was good, not without it's flaws, but not broken,
Exactly. I never got this because what made it broken was the knowledge of what to exploit.
Playing the game for the first time back then you never had any knowledge to make it so easy.
One minute the Junction system is complicated, the next it's super easy / broken. What is it?
i mean, ff8 is not "broken" per se, its just that the junction system is too good and easily exploited even an hour into the game. haha
Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of them. I can’t get in the Cantina bar later on in the game. The door and other doors throughout the environment is locked off. It is a shame, because I wanted to complete the game, but I can’t until they fix it.
The 2000s was a great decade for a lot of brilliant video games. Here are the ten best games of the 2000s that you may not have played.
You know usually when someone says "you may have missed" it's games that were lesser known, hidden gems, underrated games. These are all super high profile games that sold extremely well.
You know the 2000s is 20 years ago too? Maybe, just maybe this wasn’t an article targeted to 30+ gamers? Still says at the very beginning of the title “THE BEST GAMES you may have missed”. Regardless of how well they sold there’s tons of gamers who haven’t touched these older well known games lol.
It's games you "may have missed", insinuating you were around and gaming in the 2000's and were there to miss them. If it was aimed at everyone else then they missed literally everything, not just the top games.
The original commenter is right, this is a badly written article at best pointless at worst.
Besides only being able to miss it if you were around during that time..if your point stands then this is a horrible list. Tons of better games people may have missed
I would like the original max payne remade in a new engine with ray tracing. 😊
Oh yeah thanks for reminding me I totally forgot they were doing it. Also what the hell happened to Kingpin: Reloaded? On Steam coming soon and nohting from the dev.
Yeah, I was just going to say. It's interesting seeing them back behind the series. Max Payne 3 was amazing, but then Rockstar just sat on the IP.
Well, they sit on virtually anything that isn't GTA and Red Dead now.
What is this list? These are all hugely popular games. I was expecting games like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, Advent Rising, Arx Fatalis, etc.
the title didn’t say lesser known titles from the 2000s. This is 20 years ago now lol. Big assumption this list was made for older gamers.
I've only played 3 on that list. Part of me feels bad about how little I used all the consoles I've owned as a kid. One bright side is, there's over 30 years of games to experience for the first time.
