GodisaGeek: "Some games can do everything right, from narrative to combat, to character and world design, and yet still fail to resonate with the mighty gestalt beast that is the gaming public. Regardless of production values, big names attached to the cast or crew, or even the source material upon which they’re based, some titles just can’t catch that break when it comes to sales. Even a game that can score as high as 8 or 9 in almost every single review, and elicit smiles and nods and assertions of “Ah, that was an excellent game” every time its name is mentioned just can’t shift enough units to be certified a “success”. As a some-time champion of such titles, I could reel off a list as long as your left leg of games that should have been instant classics, yet were relegated to the bargain bin in record time."
From Xfire: "It's not unusual to see the occasional bad PC port, but these ones make the bad PC ports look great in comparison."
To be fair with GTAIV, it was a very CPU bound game, released at a time when the vast majority of PC gamers still believed that the CPU was nearly irrelevant, and that you only needed a good GPU. 95% of "gaming" builds back then were using turds for CPUs.
Joseph, Josh, and Chris go over a striking Sony decision, a Star Wars: Knights of the Republic remake seems to be happening, and local JRPG lover Chris talks about Atelier Firis DX.
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West may be a cult classic now, but it's also a fascinating predecessor to the popular cinematic games of today.
This game deserves a full remake. Good game but could be so much more on modern hardware.
Still a great game a sleeper hit to most people I so want a sequel to this game but I am not holding my breath.
One of the few games that I finished. I have actually finished this game on pc and Xbox.
enslaved was underrated, but nt had to open here mouths.
Played it this past summer, it was pretty good.
Yeah it had great characters and a decent story line. From a platinum point of view it was pretty easy except for finding all 1700 odd orbs. Sheesh!
Loved Enslaved.
Had an interesting story, interesting characters and an inspired (read: non-brown) post apocalyptic setting.
I never understood why this game was so disliked by so many people.
