You forgot about trine 2 an excellent game

deafdani4587d ago

Yeah, not including Trine 2 is a HUGE oversight, because it's one of the best games available at launch (and better than 90% of the games on that list).

However, it seems they only counted the retail games, not the eShop ones, which is a mistake, IMO.

So, what is the verdict on ZombiU from N4G users - I'm quite curious...

guitarded774587d ago (Edited 4587d ago )

I really dig it... excellent survival horror. To me it's like Deus Ex and Left 4 Dead had a baby. Wish there was online competitive modes, but I understand it's a new IP just trying to get it's identity solidified. But it is real survival horror. There's not endless ammo, and sometimes you have to run/hide because you can't fight your way out. It has the Demon's/Dark Souls vibe of death having real consequences, but it's not so harsh to make you not want to play. I'll die and go right back in with a new character wanting more. Also, it takes a bit to get used to the controls, but once you do, you see the potential of the gamepad.

Feel free to friend me... need some Wii U friends... ID = guitarded77 (WiiU/PS3/XBOX/Steam)

If you play inverted like myself its a nightmare. It inverts the camera but not your aiming and motion aim. There's no excuse for something so trivial to be overlooked by Dev's.

jbgamer4587d ago

the game is fantastic, just like ninja gaiden 3, razor's edge, I have beaten the game, just like zombi u, no muddy graphics, no jaggies, no wonky gameplay.. these are great hardcore games for wii u, no matter what the biased critics say, rent the games for your self, and ninja gaiden on wii u is going to have down loadable content.. another big plus to keep playing this killer game..
and as for zombi u.. you will throw away your copy of RE 5 AND RE6, this is survival horror at it's best.. try making it through the game without getting killed... I can do it with 5 people.. so yeah, it's super scary, and real challenging, and uses the controller very well.. multi player is a blast as well.. both games are worth the 60 dollar price tag!!

Why Assassin's Creed 2 and 3 Had the Best Writing the Series Has Ever Seen

IGN - Assassin's Creed's focus on character-driven storytelling has been buried by its RPG sandbox features, and the series is weaker for it.

RaidenBlack90d ago

A rare W opinion piece from IGN.
IMO, Ubisoft needs to setup two primary AC dev teams. 1 would focus on and release character-driven OG-style AC games for OG fans and the other would continue the current RPG-ified AC style for current fans.
Release by them Bi-annually and alternatively. There'd less fatigue and a boost to quality.

ZeekQuattro90d ago

I definitely appreciate 3 more after playing it again in recent years along with the Liberation game. Back when 3 was new I was still riding high on AC2 and Brotherhood so when I played 3 I felt a bit let down. Even the ship battles grew on me.

-Foxtrot90d ago

AC2 - Yes

AC3 - Urm...I don't know

I feel they kind of dropped the ball with AC3 and with the way the story went it just didn't make sense to me at all. I felt it would have made more sense lore wise if they had it so the Red Coats were mostly Assassins and the Templars were mostly the Colonists who wanted this "new world" as a fresh start for their operations, to build a country up they'd have full control of from the start so they manufacture the war as something else while really it's just a front for the Templars vs Assassins.

It just meant that since the Red coats lose the war it explains how the Templars have gained full control of future America and how the Assassins have slowly died out by then. This entire event would have been the turning point of how things went to s**t for the Assassins and how there's not many of them left in the present.

Haythem was a lot more interesting than Connor and he should have been the main Assassin of AC3.

lucasnooker90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

I thought AC2 was the greatest of the series and it is but replaying it recently, I stared to see more flaws in the game. Basically every single mission is an assassination besides a few tailing missions lol. Still, the implementation of all the new mechanics were great. The smoke bombs, disarming guards, story, hidden tombs, swimming, flying machine, multiple locations, etc. it definitely felt a bit more special to me at the time of release though

isarai89d ago

Dunno about 3, the 1st act was cool, then i couldn't tell you what happens after that. But 2 was so good! The entire acts 1-3 were al memorable, whereas i really couldn't even tell you what happens in any other AC game

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast186d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine186d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast186d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman186d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast186d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman186d ago
