Five Unfavorable Trends Running Rampant This Generation - GameRevolution

Alex Osborn from GameRevolution writes:

"Call me crazy, but I miss the old days. The days of plastic cartridges and child-like wonder. The days when gaming felt like a cool "underground" hobby and less like business-driven entertainment. That said, the last decade has brought a number of wonderful innovations to the industry, not the least of which include revolutions in the online community gaming space

But you know what? I'm not going to talk about that now. It's cold and rainy here and I'm in a bit of a pessimistic mood, so instead, I'm going to look at what negative advancements we've seen ushered in, or in some cases amplified by, the current generation of gaming."

Can't agree with these more.

For price to gameplay length ratio...most DLC is a rip off.

yabhero4281d ago

Negative:
DLC
DRM
Grotesque/ overdone violence
Positive:
Motion Control
Achievements
After playing Skyward Sword I will never doubt motion gaming... MOST is pretty bad but SS is definitely how it should be done. If every game had the motion control quality of SS less people would complain...

Wow this might be the first time I have ever completely agreed with an article I have seen on here.

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."

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

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia2h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins3h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

The first game was the best imo.
