An opinion piece via EMGR in which the author discusses games the likes of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes and inFamous: Second Son while posing the question of whether or not it is fair to look at what a game does not have and then be critical of it for that reason.
Quote: "As examples, can you criticise Titanfall for not having a flowing narrative or any sort of offline singleplayer of any kind, if by design that was never the point of the game in the first place? Likewise, can we criticise Journey for being more of a snapshot of a game, a singular experience rather than a holistic collection of such? Can we really look at Ground Zeroes with its under-two-hours-long game time and criticise its value for money?"
inFAMOUS Second Son was one of PS4's best exclusives, but does it hold up a decade later?
100%, locked 60fps and still look great all these years later, same with the expansion, definitely worth a look if people haven't played it yet, not the best games ever made but a good experience, hopefully a new infamous gets released
Never was my favorite infamous, but it was definitely a graphics showcase early on PS4. Still plays well with the unlocked frame rate.
Still remember getting hyped about this game nearing release. Funny because I never even got a PS4. Jumped from PS3 to PC so I never played it ahahaha
Its a good game. But thats it. Congratulations you made the best choice. I dream to have a great PC one day.
Graphically It's a absolutely stunning game that still holds up today.
Didn't have all that much depth to it forcing you to play though twice for a platinum trophy a good and bad run it was a little disappointing how similar those were Delsin would be like I'm not doing that for you in a cutscene but the cutscene would play out and force you to do it anyway just as you would of in a good run
I did like the story however it got a lot of complaints back in the day people hated playing as Delsin instead of cole despite Coles story being wrapped up.
Overall though the map wasn't overly saturated with useless points of interest there was some collectibles and things to find but nothing compared to a Ubisoft game.
I think it was a good game if a little hollow I've played it through around 4 times now since it's so short.
Also it's DLC was great a full story expansion
GB: "With this feature, we run down 15 of the most underrated games on the PS4 that never received the love and appreciation they truly deserve."
I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.
I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.
There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
GB: "There's just something special about the games that could be, and this feature gushes about 15 games that we would love to see on the PS5."
Yes.
No. I wouldn't take points away from Titanfall or Warhawk for not having campaigns and I wouldn't take points away from inFamous: Second Son for not having multi-player. That's just ridiculous.
Its what I didn't say that should be judged by down vote.
Depends on what it is. Should Titanfall be marked down for being multiplayer only? No. Should Infamous be marked down for not having multiplayer? No.
Should Ground Zeroes be marked down for being 2 hours long and £30...maybe.
If it was designed without multiplayer or campaigns then no,how ever selling a game with short content at a premium price is different. This has always been criticized and always will be, gamers have always expected length in gameplay and bang for their buck.
