Who did you pick?"

It's an interesting choice, but worthy nonetheless.

Proeliator4168d ago

Indeed. I think I'm going to play it again now...

I saw the chart for it and it looks like Journey/Xcom won over over Halo/Mario U? The chart is confusing to read but Journey deserves it it's the best 10 bucks I spent on a video game all year!

KangarooSam4168d ago (Edited 4168d ago )

$10..?
I paid $15.

Edit: I also finished it for the first time about 2 hours ago, it was amazing. Worth 10 or 15 either way. I just hope I'll feel it drawing me back eventually cause replay value would be nice for that price.

Y_51504168d ago

Whoa it was 15 dollars! My mistake but still worth that price! :)

KingofGambling4168d ago

Congratulation to thatgamingcompany you really do deserve this recognition.

I saw someone in class wearing a shirt that said thatgamecompany on it. I had hope for humanity. A little bit.

This game deserves a remaster for current consoles. It was awesome on PS3.

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."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

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.

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM1d 19h ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife1d 8h ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit1d 4h ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife1d 2h ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
