I very much agree. Glad that some people do realize Video Games are the best medium for story telling. I'm sick of people belittling games in favor of Films.
This writer of this article is sickening, what kind of person quits out of cutscenes on their first playthrough? Even if the story isn't anything amazing, cutscenes are where you learn a lot about the character that you control and about the ones around you. It hurts to imagine how much of the experience would be r...
If only 20% of games had stories, only 20% of games would be good.
I am a firm believer of Gameplay >>> Story. But that doesn't negate the fact that Story is also critically important to any video game. Every game needs a narrative driving force to it.
Except you know, for artistic reasons.
BTW, I liked your idea.
Gotta agree there. Mass Effect is this generations Star Wars.
40's-50s = Comics and sci-fi serial cartoons.
60's + = Star Trek.
70's-80's = Star Wars.
90's-00's = X Files, More Star Wars, Stargate etc...
And now we have Mass Effect.
Call of Duty will never be comparable to Star Wars in any way but sales. And still then Star Wars sales make COD seem niche. Making compa...
Necrum, your name reminds me of the Necrum Bone Mines in Abe's Exoddus. Man that was an awesome location full of atmosphere. I love all the odd locations you visit in this series. Everything is so weird and wondering to look at.
Everyone should pick both Oddworld games up on PSN immediately.
I can't stand portable gaming. I am really starting to hate all this 3DS, Iphone, PSP crap.
Leave gaming on Consoles and PC's please.
Handhelds are small, uncomfortable, have terrible controls, shitty graphics, and most of the time the games feel sub par compared to console games.
That said, Chains of Olympus was great, it was also one of the only handheld titles I've been able to finish because I wasn't completely put off b...
Well at least Jill Valentine is on here. She should be higher though.
Can't wait for more news on this!
I just played through the PS1 Oddworld games not to long ago and bought one of the Xbox titles. I picked a good time to get back into the series it seems.
Bubbles for the Red Haired Female bit. They are the best of the best.
On topic. I have brown hair and stubble. So I don't care about this.
Jill Valentine is the sexiest gaming babe ever. Putting Sheva above her is an insult.
Better list would be, in no particular order.
Jill Valentine (RE3, Remake)
Eva (MGS3)
Eileen Galvin (Silent Hill 4, play it and you will agree)
Zooey. (L4D).
Ashley Williams (ME1).
Para-Medic (She was so cute in MGS3).
Lara Croft.
Claire Redfield (RE2).
Add some FF chicks too and there you have it.
Where the f*ck is Jill Valentine and why the f*ck was stupid Sheva on this list. Sheva sucks and is not hot!
Just continue the Liberty City, Vice City, San Andreas process and all will be happy.
RE4 was the first RE game I played. I went back and played the others afterwards and fell in love with all the gorgeous backdrops and ended up liking some of the older ones even better than RE4.
I don't understand why gamers hate the old camera so much. It was awesome, the graphics were amazingly cool and the backdrops were always interesting and made the game so atmospheric and scary.
You know I actually wouldn't mind if Capcom did a partial reboot. Just went back to RE4 and started again. RE5 almost ruined any future the series had.
^ "Fear you can't Forget" Yes it was.
I hated RE5, it was the worst RE game.
If RE6 doesn't go back to its roots, have limited ammo, zombies, dark hallways, typewritters, and, maybe even a return to those old camera angles (Imagine RE with a GOW like camera, it would be close enough to the originals but a lot better), I'm just gonna stop buying RE games.
Why the hell is KOTOR 2 on this list? That game is one of the best RPG's I've ever played.
Sure the story in KOTOR 1 was better, but KOTOR 2 still has a great story, awesome characters and many improvements to the gameplay.
List is fail.
Killzone 1 is better than Killzone 2. KZ2 is a stripped down KZ1 with better graphics.
And Rogue Squadron 3 isn't as bad as this article makes it out to be.
The L2 and R2 buttons are way better with the DS3. I wish the DS2 was like that.
It feels way more natural when shooting or driving because it's like pulling a trigger or pushing on the pedal. I always change the shoot/aim/brake/drive buttons to L2 and R2 whenever I can now.
RE3 Remake! YES PLEASE!! I would but it up in a snap! That game is a beast! I'd like a Dino Crisis 2 remake as well. Raccoon City, and the Jungle in DC2 were so beautiful. I'm playing Onimusha right now actually. Capcom were so awesome last gen, they suck this gen though.
Unfortunately this announcement will be nothing much probably. But hopefully it will be something good.
^ + Bubbles! Spyro 3 was the shit back in the day. I love that game.
And GTA4 is terribly overrated. I got it when it released, played about half way through then just stopped playing. But, at the moment, I need to study a lot, but I know I can't resist gaming either, so I am playing GTA4 again because I know I wont really want to play it, I'd rather study. It's an effective plan I have. :P The game is proof that good physics and tech alone still make an absolutel...
