Super PolyPixel - Prequels. Instead of a continuation of a video game such as Batman: Arkham City, we get a prequel; a back-story to an entire franchise, story, and or character. With the announcement and hype of the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins I couldn’t help to wonder how yet again a third entry into a video game is a prequel instead of a continuation.
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."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
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
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
Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is almost here, but I can't revisit the best Arkhamverse game on PS5 without sacrificing quality.
Not a fan of Orgins. Blame it on the absence of Conroy & Hamill. Blame it on the lack of atmosphere compared to Asylm. Hell blame it the devs thst dicked over Wii U owners like me that purchased the game only for support be dropped as a thank you to me. It's better than Knight but that's not saying much. I don't care for that entry either.
tbh buying a game like that for WiiU should’ve been an obvious non-purchase when it existed on better hardware.
Origins is amazing..
my favorite Batman is Batman and Robin on mega drive.. an HD REMASTER of that would still look glorious
I got it launch. Kinda hard to go back. I'm supposed to know they were going to drop support months after the fact. 🤣
You sound like a salty fanboy, that it didn't come to your precious plastic of choice. It's not the developers fault Nintendo continues making underpowered hardware. It's our fault because we keep buying it. Yes I say (we) I'm part of the problem as well.
I have a PS3 and a Wii U. How was I a salty fanboy? I bought the game on the system I wanted it for.
Nah my comment has nothing to do with whether you’d know or not that they’d drop support.
Buying any AAA game of that era for a WiiU you should’ve known you’d be sacrificing graphics and load times.
Smacks of hyperbole to me, talk about clutching at straws to create some drama around PS5!!
Titles like these are designed to get you to come in, go to their comment section and tell them how they're so wrong so they can boost their numbers.
Even though its not the best arkham game in the series, its still an enjoyable game in its own right. What it do really well at though, was the crime investigations scenes. Which imo, were the best of the franchise.
Never played it and recently I've finally tried it via cloud on psn. It's not the best for sure, but it ain't bad either.
In the wake of some of the Metal Gear games getting remastered in the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection, it seems like a good time to take a look back at the originals. This review will go over one of the classic titles, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Of course. We always wonder how certain things came to be in story based games. I hate playing games that try an tell a story but leave u thinking wtf was there even a story to begin with. I think it changes as u get older. When u are young stories dont really matter. U just want to play the game. As u growup & mature stories play a big part of games because like a movie, u will either remember it as a bad movie, an ok movie, or it was good, or just plain out a masterpiece. U never forget those things. Thats just my opinion.
Prequels tell an important backstory, example: mgs 3.
Metal Gear Solid 3, the best of all metal gears!and a prequel... Prequels can be great for sure!
I used to love prequels. I love to actually see some legendary event that I had only heard about in the previous game or get some new important perspective on a character I hadn't fully understood before. Sadly it's hard to deny most prequels these days are nothing like this and have become more a case of, 'Hey look, it turns out that this character went on another adventure before or between the big meaningful quests you heard about and just never mentioned it in either of those games despite the fact that it was an even bigger scale adventure than the ones you've seen before.'.
there wer only 2 prequels i played that i actually felt were good and those were obviously DMC 3, and MGS 3,because they actually showed how those characters came to be in the other games,but prequels like god of war ascension for example wasnt needed,if anything it would have been better had they had kratos before he became a servant of aries,fighting the wars and how it affected his families fellings for him that would have been a better prequel than what we got.
