The Video Game Survival Guide to The End of the World

[David Jagneaux] If the Mayans are correct, the world will (or did, depending on when or if you read this) on December 21st, 2012. While we have survived many doomsday scares in the past and there really isn’t proof that anything is going to happen, the saying always goes: better safe than sorry. Which brings us to the most important question: If the world does end, how will it happen? As a society, we have fantasized over apocalyptic events for so long and developed so many theories, who even knows what could possibly happen?

I have constructed this survival guide for all gamers to refer back to. Even if the Mayans are wrong and we live on for X more years, the end of the world will probably happen one day. Consider this our definitive source of information to survive a world-ending catastrophe – as a gamer. Each possible world-ending event (that I could reasonably think of) has been detailed along with a game or two you should play to prepare and one you should not play to prepare. Obviously there will be plenty of games I didn’t include, in which case, I encourage you to comment down below. It’s your duty, as a citizen of this world, to help us all out. Get out your journals class, it’s time to take notes!

I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.

camel_toad1005d ago

That mode was so damn fun. Couldn't believe it when they ditched it.

Flewid6381004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

Agreed.

Flewid6381004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

Yeah that made for a good time.

Rebel_Scum1005d ago

Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.

Flewid6381004d ago

That's the mechanic that made me enjoy Burnout 3 over the others. It wasn't until they introduced it that I considered the series any good.

Chocoburger1005d ago

I love Takedown, Revenge, and Paradise. Dominator was okay, but it clearly felt like a B-tier game.

After playing those awesome games, I went back to try out part 1 and it was rough. I didn't like the controls (whereas the others felt perfect to me), the elevator music was generic and not enjoyable to listen to.

Finally the game's difficulty was extremely high. I could beat all single player races in Takedown, Revenge, Paradise, Dominator, but could not get first place in the very first race for the first Burnout game. It demands perfection and one slight mistake is all it takes to lose. I have yet to play part 2, but I'm hoping it's more like part 3 than part 1.

ChasterMies1005d ago

Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.

Xenial1004d ago

As soon as I saw Burnout 3: Takedown at #1, I knew the list was legit. lol

DarkOcelet3150d ago

While many will disagree with the author, i will say that i am actually interested to get Arcania now. It was on my mind a while ago but i forgot all about it. Hopefully its a good game.

FTLmaster3150d ago

Just don't expect a top-tier premier RPG and hopefully you'll have fun with it - thanks for the comment!

FTLmaster3150d ago

As long as you don't expect a AAA top-tier RPG there's a lot of fun to be had in Arcania. It's a great game to play with headphones on, curtains closed and for extended play sessions - If you pick it up I hope you enjoy it!

Adamiak3150d ago

But I expect AAA quality, and Arcania doesn't have that. Witcher 3 is undeniably better than Arcania, check ANY review and see, you are one of a billion to like Arcania better, but I don't take it from you, play what you will...

TheCelestial3150d ago

While everyone is entitled to their opinion; YOU ARE WRONG!

ArchangelMike3150d ago

I could probably list 10 reasons why The Witcher 3 is better than every oher game ever made. But at the end of the day it will still only be an opinion and not objective fact.

FTLmaster3150d ago

You should do it! I'd love to read an article like that.. It's a really good game and there's a lot to love about TW3, but parts of it didn't quite click with me - thanks for commenting!

Adamiak3150d ago

How can someone say, that a dense story is bad and straightforward story is good? I didn't even read the rest, he is just wrong.

FTLmaster3150d ago

I just didn't really know what was going on in TW3 and this comes from someone who has played the first 2 games (which had superior stories imho)The story was decent but the pacing was off and it was abit all over the place - thanks for commenting though!

Adamiak3150d ago

The story was best of all the series IMHO, I can't believe someone can actually say, that dense story is a disdvantage, that game is huge, what did you expect, it's like saying, that you don't like your salary because it is too big... :facepalm:
