MyGaming - At first glance Knights Contract seems to have all the makings of a great slash and smash game: cool characters, a great story and awesome combos and witchcraft combined with finishers to totally devastate large numbers of enemies.
But before long, problems started to rear their ugly little (soon-to-be-decapitated) heads.
GamesAsylum: "If you’re remaining loyal to your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 for a while longer yet, you may be looking for something “new” to play. If that’s not the case now, then it may be in the not too distant future – a quick look at April’s release schedule reveals that there’s very little out.
We’ve taken this fleeting chance to round-up six games you may have missed. And if you have played all of these, then you sir have very fine taste"
yea im still using my 360 and didn't buy a nest gen , ive tried some next gen games but none was too wow to make me buy a console (titanfall will be released on 360 and that was the only game that made me want to buy a next gen)
so to the end of 14 the price would be cheaper and the games would be better :D
Just bought Bully and Manhunt for my PS3! I will keep going back to my PS3 like an French Mistress whenever my urges take hold!
My buddies and I were just talking about Bully. I hope Rockstar makes another one. Manhunt as well.
So far I only bought one new game for either 7th-gen console this year. And that was Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z for the 360.
I''ll continue using my XBox 360 for multimedia purposes in between whatever games grace it from here on end.
eGamer takes a look at the bad apples of 2011, and determines which one was the most rotten of them all.
I agree. I played the Bodycount demo and it was the worst FPS I've ever played. I didn't know shooting a gun in iron sights made the screen look as if a earthquake was occuring. LOL. Very disorientating. Duke Nukem Forever and Dungeon Siege III - I love both so I obviously wouldn't put them on the list. The others don't look interesting to begin with so I never gave them anytime.
Yeah, reactions to Duke Nukem Forever were heavily divided, but in the end the Most Disappointing and Worst Game Awards are very subjective in nature :)
Bodycount was really, really bad, I mean like, everything about it :P Dungeon Siege 3, as we said, wasn't really horrific, we just grew bored of it much too quickly and it just wasn't any fun.
I actually thought of buying Knights Contract, but when I saw the gameplay having to get the main character back on his feet if he took too many hits and watching how the AI co-op partner could never seem to stay out of harm's way causing a GAME OVER if she dies, I said it wasn't for me.
It was a game where the ideas were great, and the premise and story were really interesting, but everything fell flat as far as gameplay was concerned.
And your partner really seemed to always contradict her desire to live a nice long life, the way she couldn't stay out of harm's way. You can imagine the frustration involved when you're trying to feel bad-ass pulling your broken bones and limbs back together but she's off busy trying to block swords with her boobs \:D?
I wish it had been a CGI movie. It could have been really cool.
ACE: It may be difficult to believe, but Knight's Contract is a game so average and that I forgot I was reviewing it.
A good game will spur me on to finish as quickly as possible. A bad game will hold my interest if only to see how bad it gets. Knight's Contract is neither.
