Very nice article, sometimes no swimming annoys me too, I mean wtf.

prongs1234848d ago (Edited 4848d ago )

Awesome article.

I would add, idiot townsfolks to the list. They are annoying as hell and are present in most RPGs

an article which is not about ps3 or xbox 360 exclusives?

"Ever wondered why the main character of a game who eats monsters like Dragons or Elite Soldiers for breakfast, has amazing super human abilities to boot and can kill a Giant with his bare hands, dies instantly if he falls into a river or heck even a sewer for that matter? So have we."

I literally loled at that. Excellent and a humor filled article. The best read on n4g for sometime!

Same here, I was thinking about this while playing the original Mercenaries the other day.

Those guys will call in airstrikes and destroy entire buildings, grapple onto helicopters and throw the pilot out, hijack tanks while taking fire...but swimming is a big no-no!

its wasnt part of his contract

I am reminded of Cole from Infamous. Dude could climb anything like he was sticky but a chain link fence would stop him everytime.

Or God of War 3, Kratos could fall from Olympus and survive but fall from a little ledge and you are dead.

King-Leonidas4848d ago

@zootang wtf you talking about? right before kratos falls he´s saved by athena

SoSLy4848d ago

reminded me of Halo 3 lol, Master chief saving humanity but died in a puddle. Damn you BUNGIE!!

ElementX4848d ago

What about sexual innuendo and women with large breasts?

UnwanteDreamz4848d ago

Women with large breasts that have water balloon physics.

Neckbear4848d ago

Perfect example of why they're awesome:

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC4h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer5h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya3h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde3h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
