Player Affinity: Quarterly Report: Part I

"Welcome to the Player Affinity Xbox Team’s new feature that myself, Jay Malone, will post every three months. In this, I’ll discuss the games released in the past three months (the months being January, February, and March in this installment), specifically the games’ quality, and at the end make a list of the top 5 Xbox games of 2011 so far. Now I know not everyone cares about my opinion so to get readers a bit more involved, I want you all to comment with your own current top 5. If you haven’t played 5 Xbox 360 games, just list the ones you have played, as long as you enjoyed them. And then at the end of the year, I will add up all the games mentioned in the comments section and we’ll have an official Player Affinity fan voted Xbox 360 Game of the Year. And hell, while you're here, mention some games you’re anticipating in 2011. Let’s get started, shall we?"

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.

EA Shoots Down Dead Space 2 Remake Rumors: 'No Validity to This Story'

EA has shut down rumors that EA Motive considered a Dead Space 2 remake before shelving it due to low sales of the previous game, saying there's "no validity" to the reports.

XiNatsuDragnel779d ago

Sure.... right.... at least remake dead space 3 w/o microtransactions bs.

XiNatsuDragnel777d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia778d ago

Why not remake DS2 whether shot down or not it's still my favorite game next to DS1. As much as I hate EA I would buy or would have bought DS2 day one.

MeteorPanda778d ago

No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"

Yi-Long778d ago

I don't know if sales met their expectations or not. I just know that the high review scores received my attention so I was interested in buying it, but its price stayed high (50+ bucks) for so long that I simply never bothered picking it up.

Tacoboto778d ago

Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.

Gee...

Yi-Long777d ago

Well, for starters, I'm sure there are plenty of games I never bought which did, somehow, still, meet their sales-expectations.

Concerning Dead Space; I never played and thus cared for the original. It's in multiple genres (shooter, sci-fi, horror) I don't particularly care about so it was barely on my radar pre-launch. I was never its target-audience.

When reviews hit, and it was scoring big, it gathered my interest, so while it wasn't in my field of interest, it mrans that I wanted to give it a fair shot and at least give it a try, as I do with many games across different genres; I tend to just cherry-pick the good stuff and see if it's for me or not.

But, I do wait for sales on those games I take a risk on.

Kornholic777d ago (Edited 777d ago )

Lol, you are a huge part of the problem. If a very high-quality game is not even worth 50 bucks to you, then what is?

13 Years Later, Dead Space 2 Is Still A Perfect Video Game

Nameer from eXputer: "Dead Space 2 is a sequel that delivers such a feast that by the time you're done, you're not only full but also satisfied."

Aaroncls7798d ago

It was amazing. All 3 DS games game solid for me, but 2 was special.

hombreacabado798d ago

i can do without ds3 but the first two are solid.

mariopasta798d ago

Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection

Terry_B798d ago

thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.
