I love making lists because A: they're fun, and B: they get people talking! Linked above are my picks, but what about yours? I mean, I put Mortal Kombat in the list... there's gotta be some crazy stuff you guys and gals would include in your Top 10. Is Carmageddon post-apocalyptic? Haha.

Haha, awesome. At first I was like Bole...? Then it hit me-- Oh yeah, that place!

That's a good list really. Not much to add. In Fallout3 and TLOU when you rummage through houses it gives you a feeling of complete isolation. And reading journals and diaries you really feel for the people that had their lives come to a sad end. Gut wrenching feeling really. But that's what makes those games great.

I can only imagine what Fallout 4 could look like on PS4/Xbox One/PC. They've probably got their work cut out for them visually also, with how amazing the modding community has made those games (FO3 and New Vegas) look over the years.

And I agree, the stories form within the diaries and leftovers from peoples' abandoned houses tell chilling tales within the broader scope of these adventures. It's great stuff from a storytelling perspective.

Star ocean did a great job of it actually, had WWIII a heavy nuclear war and then we advance space tech to generate jump technology and go planet hunting for a new world.

thirtyandnerdy3956d ago

Oh wow, great pick! S.O. never crossed my mind but you're so right!

In addition to that list

Borderlands 1, 2, and Rage

Fallout Anthology Edition Looks Pretty S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.

They included physical disc back then

Infamous Video Game Endings That Left a Bad Taste

The most disappointing and infamous video game endings even sour the overall thoughts of a game. Most of these titles represent some of the finest entries in their respective series, marred by an ending we can't quite forgive.

Far Cry 5....bullshit. This game had a great ending imo.

There is no game called Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2, but Rebirth had a great ending imo. Felt robbed by the ending at first, but the more I've seen it and during my 3rd playthrough, I started to understand and realize a lot more that make me appreciate the ending.

Nerdmaster14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

I was enjoying FFVII Remake, even though those whispers throughout the game were annoying. But the ending was so bad that I don't even want to play Rebirth. On top of that, from what I saw on reviews, the ending of Rebirth is even worse.

Also, I'm glad to see Zero Time Dilemma being recognized as the trainwreck it is. After the amazing two first games (especially the near perfect second one), the low quality of the trilogy end is baffling. The new characters are bad, the old characters don't feel like themselves, a surprise "alien technology" pops out of nowhere, the big twist was like "eh?", and it doesn't really finish the story nor explains the loose threads from the second game.
