An eGamer journalist talks about six game franchises that should have stayed dead and buried in the past, or been reinvented rather than continued.
Modder ‘alexsavvy’ has released a must-have mod for Max Payne 3 that is a love letter to all fans of the original game.
GF365: "These are our picks for the ten best games to complete 100%. This list includes good games that don't feel like chores to complete."
I got 80% trophy completion on Ragnarok but left a few of the battles. Will come back to it one day.
Where is Horizon Zero Dawn?? where is Ghost of Tsushima?? I just got my Platinum on HZD and is now trying to finish the Frozen Wild expansion. so much care and love went into that game and it really shows. I especially adore the lore and have sunk many hours listening to the logs and reading journals. the back story is great and the gameplay is awesome. can't wait to replay on the hardest difficulty on NG+. next in my list would be to finish GoTsushima
Okay the title of article should be top 10 , 3rd person games to complete 100 percent. Nine 3rd person games and 1 racing game on this list .
Crystal Dynamics' daring reboot of Tomb Raider brought Lara Croft back into the spotlight.
An attempt at a reboot with no momentum for continuance. Just a torture-porn trilogy about a poor rich girl with daddy issues reluctantly being pulling into a world of violence, versus say the adventures of a quipping Brit treasure hunter who solves ancient puzzles while gunning down rare and extinct animals that it originally was?
Honestly, don't have all that killing. If the devs had been truly clever, not focused on mangling a message about the senselessness of killing which was seemingly and quickly forgotten, they could have worked, if not bloodlessly then not directly by Laura's hand, dealing with enemies as part of the puzzle solving - they didn't have in the game in the first place...
"Revived a '90s Gaming Icon"
LOL
the only thing similar between the 2 is the name of the protagonist. if they would have given the game a different name, NONE would even think that it was somehow a resurrected Tomb Raider IP. the last game with the real Tomb Raider DNA was TR Underworld.
I wouldn't of minded a sequel after Max Payne 2 but I wanted a sequel that expanded on the character development in MP2.
Instead we got Max Payne 3 which was basicaly Die Hard the Video Game...fair enough it had pretty graphics, nice tec behind it, lovely animations but thats what you would see in a next gen Max Payne game anyway, for a Max Payne game it sucked. Rockstar should of left it alone untill Remedy would pick it back up one day.
I mean all that character development that happened in MP2, the relationship between Mona and Max for example and how she managed to help him move on from the tragedies in his life...it seemed by the end (going by the ending where Mona survived) Max was closer to being at peace then he had ever been after his Wife and child died. MP3 came around though and destroyed that...made him into a worse off drug addict and more like an alchoholic with nothing to live for...I mean they could change it since it wasn't really estbalished but why didn't have Mona in the story again, why did they seem to go with the ending which killed off a strong female character...something which is quite rare these days in video games. Those levels in New York were amazing, the whole reason he left New York could of easily been made into the plot of the third game if they stayed in New York...I mean Max Payne wouldn't of ran, he would of stayed and hit back, they even made it so Max had been sacked from the Police Force something which I liked about his character...the vengeful, justice seeking cop/detective.
I think the game got the benefit of the doubt though because it was Rockstar...it was a good game just not a good Max Payne game. I honestly believe MP3 started out as a new IP but then when Rockstar learnt they could make a Max Payne game they changed the new IP set in Brazil with a bald character into Max Payne 3.
Poor article cause all of these franchises have or are going to being reinvented in the near future.
None of these Ips should be dead all of them had great games in the past and the future is looking bright of them.
God of War and Halo never did changed much but the quality was always pretty high.
Fail list!
List is BS.
God of War? Really? The game hasn't even been released yet and its already a failure? Even though I only play PS3, I don't really want to see Halo go away. I think Bungie did a job with the series and I believe 343 won't drop the ball. I am also pretty interested in this new Tomb Raider game. But whatever I guess.
