hey guys would you prefer a scary game or an extremely gory game?

PRHB HYBRiiD5476d ago

gory thats what i loved about world at war :(

f7897905476d ago

Minecraft is still the scariest game I've ever experienced.

*looks around cave*
*nothing there*
*start mining*
*creeper falls from ceiling in front of me*
"HOLY ****!"
BOOM!

chak_5476d ago

lol

THE FEAR TO GET YOUR HOUSE BURNT OR EXPLODED BY CREEPER §§§!!

THAT is scary now !

JAMurida5476d ago

Obvious that they have never played Condemned: Criminal Origins.

nskrishna25476d ago

Tru Dat, but even Criminal Origins wasn't that scary at all..
Infact I do not remember one single game from this gen that gave me the creeps...except Amnesia...

Dark_Overlord5475d ago (Edited 5475d ago )

Amnesia: Dark Descent, never played it but from what I gather its a first person game thats supposed to be one of the scariest games ever made (according to a lot of websites)

nskrishna25475d ago

@Quagmire Read Dark_Overlord's comment..:)

@Dark_Overlord It is actually very freaking scary...

Watch some reaction videos on youtube..:)

nskrishna25476d ago

Those people have obviously never experienced what true horror games are like..
Dead Space 1 was scarier than 2

The_Ultimate_Guy5475d ago

Agreed. Dead Space 1 was much scarier. But that was released a few years ago. It's only cool to make these kinds of claims with current games because they are fresh in peoples minds.

nskrishna25475d ago

But a study is supposed to check all angles of inquiry, right?

I mean, for just declaring a recently released game as the scariest 360 game, you don't need a study.

And even if they did take out the survey..who were they asking? Kids who don't remember older games?

Cuz as far as I know, I sure as hell can't forget the games that gave me the creeps..:)

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.

XiNatsuDragnel773d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel772d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia772d 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.

MeteorPanda772d ago

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

Yi-Long772d 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.

Tacoboto772d ago

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

Gee...

Yi-Long772d 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.

Kornholic771d ago (Edited 771d 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."

Aaroncls7792d ago

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

hombreacabado792d ago

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

mariopasta792d ago

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

Terry_B792d ago

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

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled895d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa895d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno894d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac894d ago (Edited 894d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast894d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial894d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
