What's up, gamers? RDGH returns this week to shun discrimination against gaming consoles for the colors of their branding. There's lots to talk about, and host Glenn Gordon joins Dane Smith and Garri Bagdasarov with a packed and very interesting episode.
Resolution is a star this week. A tweet from a regular listener sparks conversation about the console parity situation with Assassin's Creed Unity and almost with Dragon Age: Inquisition. The strength of PSN comes into consideration as well. Is PlayStation Plus a worthwhile investment for gamers? What would gamers be willing to sacrifice (hypothetically, of course) for a stronger PSN?
Xbox has had an interesting week as well. It's the first eighth-generation console to get a native Plex app, the Sunset Overdrive bundle got a short-lived price drop on Amazon UK, and Microsoft may finally be ready to "rethink" the controversial ID@Xbox parity clause. The crew takes a look at the parity clause and the effect it has had on Xbox and PlayStation so far.
Then, of course, there's DRIVECLUB. It's a great racing game but it has stirred a lot of unnecessary controversy in recent weeks, and with it having one of the worst launches in recent PlayStation history, it has little to defend itself with. We think DRIVECLUB is worth a gamer's chance.
All of this and more comprises a great episode of RDGH. Remember to follow us on Twitter @TheRDGH, and give us your tweets and topics to read and discuss on the air. Enjoy the podcast, and don't be a racist.
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.
3.
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
Vanillaware's tactical role-playing game Unicorn Overlord is a beautiful mix of old mechanics and new-age graphics, with over 65 unique recruitable characters and a rich storyline.
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.
Of course parity doesn't matter. People didn't spend $400 on a new console expecting developers to take advantage of the better specs. Nope, they bought them hoping developers would gimp the graphics to the significantly lower powered $500 system.
if parity does not matter why not cater to wii u versions of games and lock them at the same settings as ps4 and xbox one games?
the truth is xbox one fans are pissed karma is biting them in the ass after ps3/360 MINIMAL differances, now there BIG.
I don't care about 900p if that's all [insert system here] can handle. I only care about it if it can handle more, but is purposely held back "to avoid debates and stuff." Just do the best the system can handle while having smooth gameplay and I'm fine with it. It is disappointing that both the PS4 and Xbone can barely do, if at all, 1080p/60 fps though. That should have been the standard when designing these systems.
It matters to me, Ubisoft and any other publisher that purposefully holds back their game can go f*ck itself.
"PS4 and Xbox One parity and 900p don't matter"
So we're just console commoners that should be glad for what we're given, where individual advancement isn't allowed by those with power? Lord Ubisoft has decreed parity to prevent squabbles amoung the low born ruffian fools!
To them I say "Let them eat C***!" I don't know how you youngsters do that hashtag thing but #LetThemEatC*** - no parity for unity might be entertaining.
