I say DNF should be number 1. When have we ever witnessed a game take SOOO long to come, give itself SOOO much hype, yet be SOOO terrible. Its unprecedented, I think it dethroned Too Human tbh as the biggest disappointment ever

Breaking the mould dude, not the biggest dissapointments or let downs.

I think Shadows of the Damned should have been up there for its sense of humour, level design and art style. Suda 51 has broken the mould with several games like Killer 7 and No more Heroes.

I'm not far from getting platinum from L.A. Noire and it's one of the most original and fresh games in a long while IMO. It's not the best game out there or everyone's cup of tea but for someone like me who's always enjoyed all kinds of detective stuff, this game is a very enjoyable experience.

If you enjoyed L.A. Noire, I'd recommend the Harry Bosch series' books by Michael Connelly. There's a lot of similarities and little things that reminded me of those great books in this game despite them being two different kinds of media.

they can't get a 14 year old game to run smoothly?

jjb198136d ago

That's ridiculous, lol. I'm waiting for the guy that says its too cpu-intensive for the Switch 2. This game is old af and has been released like 17 times.

MS is the MAGA of gaming, a total f"*:!?g joke.

darthv7278d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Ironic, considering how liberal MS in general is....

crazyCoconuts78d ago

One difference... The majority didn't vote for Microsoft

Gamersunite88078d ago

Neither did the majority vote for Trump.

They are just moving the goalposts until xbox is vaporware smh

Redgrave78d ago

Don't worry, consoles will be deemed "antiquated" when that happens

S2Killinit77d ago

MS would like everyone to believe.

HyperMoused78d ago

They did nothing but buy successful studios...

Exthun78d ago

And passed the costs to the gamers with everything.

FinalFantasyFanatic77d ago

And some of those studios barely did anything.

thesoftware73078d ago (Edited 78d ago )

So if they do bad, they suck!
And if the do good, they suck!...ok got it lol.

I think I'll post my comment from the other thread here soon, maybe, just maybe, some people might read it and realize that all these companies do very similar things....ha!! Who am I kidding...carry on good people.

The last thing Microsoft needs is to enrage the PlayStation community and have them boycott Microsoft games releases on PlayStation

thesoftware73078d ago

See, this is part of what I think is a problem in gaming with "Hardcore" fans.... because of what MS may say that "Sony" gamers might not like, they would deny themselves a game that they wanna play?

That may be the problem, we put BS, made up slights, before being actually gamers.

Reaper22_77d ago

Don't worry, those gamers will be antiquated soon enough.

Jingsing77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

I mean, I haven't bought any Microsoft game on PlayStation since they started porting their games over. Most of that comes from a major lack of trust in them as a company. Microsoft only ever does moves to hurt the competition so they can ultimately dominate. They are certainly not hurting for cash. Their end goal is to move the goal posts so that everyone is using their cloud servers but that isn't enough for Microsoft, they want to have the cloud servers and be the entertainment company on top of that.
