WORST LIST EVER! HALF OF THE GAMES ON THIS LIST SUCKED. THE WALKING DEAD! WHAT A LOAD OF BS.

futurefrog4114d ago

Walking Dead was an absolutely beautiful game in all regards. I think you are just bashing it because of some personal bias towards great games.

masterabbott4114d ago

I have to agree wit this frog guy, Walking dead is awesome and deserves to win! Well done to it.

coaidant4114d ago (Edited 4114d ago )

Walking Dead deserves it

militissanctus4114d ago

Man...Walking Dead is intense. Can't play two episodes without taking a break in-between

ZacE4114d ago

I like the majority of this list. The Walking Dead told an amazingly crafted and emotional story. Loved it.

militissanctus4114d ago

Very few games put me on edge like Walking Dead did. Too bad that first person shooter coming up with the same name won't be able to even come close.

koga884114d ago

Meh, it's an alright list but I still can't see Journey as that great of a game and definitely not the Best PS3 title this past year. I never was enthralled by the online despite the fact that people always clamor how "great and emotional" it is with playing with someone who can't communicate in any way and often just screws up your game.

ZacE4114d ago

I agree with you about the online co-op to a large degree. I think it just presented something new as a game. Maybe not in terms of gameplay, but everything else.

Ryder494114d ago

I disagree. The whole point is that you can't communicate. It would absolutely destroy the atmosphere and emotional depth of the game if you could hear people yelling over mics the whole time.
"Bro go collect that thing"
"This section sucks"
"I'm only playing this for the Trophies"

Total immersion killers.

futurefrog4114d ago (Edited 4114d ago )

I am shocked by the fact Halo 4 beat out Forza Horizon, I think that was a huge miscalculation on Capsule Computers part. Also the fact that Journey won anything really discredits this list in many ways to be honest as it is an over-rated piece of trash

ZacE4114d ago

I loved Forza Horizon too, still playing it. But Halo 4 is a juggernaut so that was expected.

masterabbott4114d ago

Halo is 1000x better than a crappy racing game!

LinkageAX4114d ago

HALO 4 is the superior game in every regard. It's not one that I'd have at the top though.

Mass Effect 3's Ending for Javik Misses the Forest for the Trees

Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

Lollipop chainsaw now a remaster not a remake

At fans request apparently.

gold_drake189d ago

i wonder if they looked into what a remake would cost and went "NOPE Remaster it is" haha

FreeckyCake188d ago

It probably has to do with what the producer had mentioned recently. The thing about not wanting to change the essence of the original (e.g censorship). So maybe remastering the game was the best choice.

CrimsonWing69188d ago

The link to the story didn’t really answer the question. It makes no sense that you have to censor a remake and not a remaster.

What I got from that article is licensed music forced them to change to a Remake(?) and that they’re working hard with the platform holders to negotiate not censoring, which Sony is stupid about.

My question is, how would a Remaster not have to go through censorship?

I’ve seen dialogue changed in FF7 and Baten Kaitos. Then you have actual cutscenes being removed like in the dmc remaster.

I assume the same could be done to this game.

FreeckyCake188d ago

No idea. That's why I said " maybe ".

CrimsonWing69188d ago

Bull sh*t, you show me where fans wanted a Remaster instead of a Remake. I was more onboard with a Remake, I’m less excited just playing the same game I did before but now with sharper textures and better framerate.

ModsDoBetter188d ago

Probably realised this won't do the numbers so didn't want to invest.

No harm, I love Lollipop Chainsaw but it's a bit of a niche title.

gold_drake188d ago

yeh it was super niche even bk then

LoveSpuds187d ago (Edited 187d ago )

Loved it back in the day and have my copy sat on the shelf and ypu are right, it was super niche, which is why my copy is increasing in value slowly but surely. Hoping a remaster doesn't tank the value of my PS3 copy

....and that's a bad thing how?

343_Guilty_Spark262d ago

If it ain’t on Sony box it’s bad

autobotdan262d ago (Edited 262d ago )

Ninja Gaiden 2 was never multiplat. NG Sigma 2 is a remixed game not the same game at all

darthv72262d ago

Dante's inferno... such a great GoW inspired game. So sad the sequel was canned, it sounded like it was going to be even more epic than the first.

Vits262d ago

Yeap, classic GoW is still better mechanically. But the aesthetics and atmosphere of Dante's Inferno were just top-notch. Shame it never got a PC port, but at the very least is available on modern Xbox.

Juiceid262d ago

This list is ok, but Ninja Gaiden reigns supreme!

GhostScholar262d ago

I just can’t get into the devil may cry series. In my opinion you never feel powerful in those games. The guns are pointless as they only serve to be a flashy part of a combo. DMC was the only one that I could tolerate long enough to beat.
