E4G: The doors of London’s Earls Court have closed on the biggest gaming show in Britain for another year but the memories of playing the great games that were at the show will remain for a while after. Amongst the abundance of sequels and motion sensing shimmying there were some truly great titles on show from a wide range of genres. First person shooters, RPG’s, sport titles, fighting games, side scrolling platformers, survival horror games and fun party games where you can shake or strum up a storm, there was definitely something for everybody at this year’s show.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.
Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Really?
Eusrogamer named it their number one of the show and everyone says it had the longest lines to test besides all the rave reviews it got in the hands on articles and it doesn't crack the top 10 for these guys?
Brink was my number 1.
That seems a bit bizarre, given that it's the most hotly anticipated release of the rest of the year.
