An article that deals with the 5 most controversial games to grace the Xbox 360 and PS3.
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.

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
Activision and Raven Software's 2006 action role-playing game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, has found its way to the Xbox Store.
Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem
I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.
Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.
Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Interesting article, the type of stuff I love to read.
Now adays on N4G it's all about stupid "why the ps4 is doomed already" articles.
Bravo! I am giving a + to this site.
Spec Ops was quite an enjoyable game, with some great graphical/artistic moments and a cool story, quite unpredictable and dark. The game-play was a bit hit and miss (it pissed me the F%$K off some times lol) but overall an enjoyable experience.
I won't even touch the controversy surrounding Resident Evil 5, that was ridiculous. Duke Nukem was a horrible game, so I couldn't care less for that, its game-play was worse than FPS games released 10 years before it, no exaggeration.
Cool article, brought up some things I had forgot. The No Russian mission in MW2 was funny, as the media wet themselves. I don't own the game, I borrowed it from a friend, and was sort of shocked (not offended) by that mission. Pretty cool, but quite sadistic seeing my 6 year old brother laughing while massacring hordes of innocents.
I'm surprised neither DmC nor Aliens Colonial Marines made this list. Furthermore, I am not sure how RE5 is more controversial than 6.
I played through about half of Spec Ops :the line (free on PS Plus).
Its a decent game but the shoddy controls ruined the game for me.
I like Resident Evil 5 btw.
Surely Grand Tbeft Auto 4 and the now infamous fox news discussion about how you can kill a prostitute to death with a baseball bat
