I’ll send them a fruit basket."
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
Gary Green said: Today’s review actually comes as a request from a reader who took the time to message me. I’m always happy to listen to requests, and whilst I can’t always accommodate every single one, there are certainly times where I can, especially if it helps readers make an informed decision about where to start with a complex, long-running franchise, and, of course, makes for a fun playthrough for me.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
Not just ports, but it's mostly old ports of games that people have likely already played.
The Vita needs ports of newer games or simultaneous releases if they're going to do ports at all. Really though, devs/pubs need to take a chance with completely new games.
Correction: Great ports of great games are welcomed. Half-assed ports for a quick buck can GTFO
Crap ports ruin Vita, Good ports further port people over from consoles;)
I think there a lot of games out there that I'd rather play on the go. I'm so happy that Persona 4 and Disgaea came over to Vita...same with MGS series... I mean seriously I have no problem for ports if they are done properly!
That doesn't mean I don't want anything new, but I won't condone any1 for porting games over.
Just don't buy them...simple.
Crap ports:
Ratchet and Clank (the dumb one), Jak (1 at least), Spiderman (though still fun:P), there are others too but to lazy.
If it's a bad port, then yes, BUT, I've picked up a few games that I didn't get to play on PS3 on my Vita and it's great! I plan on getting any future PS3 releases on Vita also if they're released that way so I can make the transition to only PS4/Vita.
Borderlands 2 will hopefully be awesome, but will it have all the same content plus all the released DLC to date?
Also, the PS Vita is quite capable of handling console titles with obviously not as great graphics but still exceptional (Although Killzone Mercenary looks stunning!). Yet when games like the Lego series come out, it gets the crappy 3DS port. Why? This isn't a low powered device like the 3DS. Open world New York, Middle Earth, Gotham City etc. is what the device should be doing. We do get full ports on occasion, but I'm yet to see an 3D open world RPG like Skyrim/Mass Effect on the device which it really needs. It's much closer to 360/PS3 hardware capabilities than the 3DS I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong though!
