XMNR: Sunday, Jan. 12 marks another week of game deal hunting and the discounts at Best Buy are now live. This includes $10 off select Playstation 4 and Xbox One titles such as Call of Duty: Ghosts and LEGO: Marvel Super Heroes plus a buy two, get one free offer on older "Platinum" titles for the Xbox 360.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes made it's debut 10 years ago today, and remains a popular entry in the series of LEGO videogames.
The game so good I had to buy it twice on the PS4!
actually, it was because my toddler broke my first copy in half LOL
My kids thought I was dumb for selling the Xbox 360 and buying a PS4 until Legal Marvel Superheroes dropped on PS+ a couple of months later. The game is like GTA for kids with couch co-op and a lot of humor.
The game is still one of the best LEGO games ever IMO. The sequel was a letdown for me
From underrated Xbox One launch titles to absolute emperors of the strategy genre, history heads will love these games based around Ancient Rome.
Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.
Ryse: Son of Rome was an Xbox One launch title that has been left to collect dust, but Crytek should set aside Crysis and give Ryse another shot.
"for an Xbox game"
Way to subtly throw shade there. It looked amazing compared to any game at the time it was released.
Never played it myself though, wasn't really interested in it personally. Plus it came at a time when I didn't own an Xbox console. But it was at least different than the usual copy/paste games we get. So I hope it gets another chance sometime soon.
It was a stunning game on all basis. One of the standout games for Xbox as a whole. I ended up buying on pc as well… and yes nothing looked better than it in PC at the time either. Nothing just ok about it, definitely needs a sequel.
@snookies12, don't pretend like the Xbox One didn't struggle with being gimpled by its tiny pool of ESRAM as a frame buffer. It was significantly weaker than the PS4.
Metacritic 60, user score 6.4. I'm not alone in putting it into the "ok" category...
@snookies
Haven't played it but at least you know enough to defend Xbox over it. The game did look good, for an Xbox game. That's not some "subtle shade," it's full on reality.
I remember it being nearly the only graphically decent game on the Xbone for like the first two years after launch, and graphics were that games strength
The qte's were disappointing though. God of war was doing it back in the ps2 days. As gorgeous as the game was, the gameplay needed to be updated.
I really liked the original Ryse but Crytek doesn't have the funds. The mismanaged their properties and let EA raid them with Crysis for the duration of their relationship. Right now they are working on Crysis 4, I doubt they can spare resources to work on a Ryse sequel.
It would have to be funded by MS, I really liked Ryse sure it got repetitive but the setting visuals and story were good
MS should have funded a sequel to Ryse and Sunset OD. Two good franchises they definitely needed last gen.
MS is too busy trying to become the next EA, Ryse wont be on their list of titles to finance unless it gets a hipster makeover with lootboxes.
I recently bought it for the steamdeck and have to say... 60fps is a game changer. I really wished MS had gotten a one x patch or series boost mode option but sadly, nope. Other games that definitely deserve a second chance (esp on steamdeck/pc) are quantum break and sunset overdrive. Both deserved 60fps support on one x / series but you have to go to PC for that.
Rumor has it Crytek had plans for a Ryse 2 but due to the low turnout for XB (at the time) it was shelved. They really should give this another shot. i dont care if its multiplat on PS and XB and PC and Switch... just so long as part 2 gets made.
Game was good enough, not great.
Graphically it was top notch. Still holds well till this day.
It only needed more enemy variety and few more movesets or weapons to use. That would have made the experience tons better.
Bah! The same $10 off from a month and a half ago! Still waiting for Ghosts to hit what it's worth, $39.99.
