Over the course of gaming history, we've seen a number of bad games that we all wish that could be erased from our memories, Eternal Sunshine style. But beneath their bad design choices, questionable history and overall messiness on gaming’s clean tablecloth, there is a silver lining. If anything, gaming is a learning experience and we’ve got to take the good with the bad. So, in an effort to soothe the burns of the past, here’s a new list of seven games that have left a stain on gaming history, but also teach us a number of lessons that the entire industry and culture shouldn’t forget (even if we really want to).
Duke Nukem Forever originally began its life as a sidescroller instead of a shooter back in 1996, and that canceled version has just been leaked.
Very cool, but i don't know how real this is... I'll check it out later to find out.
Duke Nukem Forever, the troubled FPS from Gearbox and 3D Realms, has been restored to more traditional 90s shooter thanks to a sweeping “remaster” mod
kinda of a misleading title.
Mod features:
Sprinting removed and faster player movement
Jump height increased
Swim speed is much faster
Player can now hold breath underwater for 45 seconds instead of 15
Weapon rebalance and screen shake when shooting removed
2/4 weapon limit completelly removed
Quicksaves (F5 by default)
Depth of Field removed and new post processing effects
Driving sections are now in first person perspective
yw.
Duke Nukem Forever, the infamous and controversial FPS from 3D Realms, apparently looked much better before launch, as modders discover various cut features
Wow, that advanced lighting makes a huge difference to the visuals. I get that Gearbox tried to slap everything together and release a finished product. But it seems like they cut out a lot of content that would have made the experience more enjoyable. That's a shame.
Am I the only one that is tired of the Bioshock 2 hate. It wasn't a bad game by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, gameplay wise - it improved quite a lot. It felt better, looked better and just felt more polished. It wasn't very ambitious, story wise (Sophia Lamb was basically Atlas with a pussy) but it was still a good game and better than most that year.
Don't get why people hate on Bioshock 2 so much.. I enjoyed the game.
I want so badly for South Park: The Stick of Truth to never make it onto this list, but I have a nagging feeling that given the long amount of time spent in development hell this title may end up here before the end of next year. Man I hope I'm 100% wrong on this prediction.
What's with the hate for Bioshock 2? It wasn't a bad game.
for me a h&s fan i wanna forget all about mg rising
