gamrReview's Xavier Griffiths: "In its ninth year on the market the Xbox 360 continued to play host to a staggering amount of high quality game releases. With the spotlight shifting to the newer generation of consoles you could be forgiven for thinking the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are well behind the times.
But no, the Xbox 360 continued to be one of the best places to play AAA calibre games. Our nominees for best Xbox 360 Game of 2014 leans heavily on adventure fantasy fare, taking you to distant lands full of danger and excitement."
Update: Ubisoft has acknowledged that the Japanese version of the game, which includes regional censorship, was mistakenly released globally. The company says it has reverted these changes in the game's worldwide branch.
Ubisoft has quietly removed nudity from Far Cry 4 in a recent update, sparking speculation about Tencent’s growing influence on the publisher.
You can murder, mame, and viciously attack people, but anything that deals with showing a body in a natural state whether for titillation or narrative, is some truly terrible thing. We are so weird with our puritan thought process. Feed our bloodlust and fuel our enjoyment for entertainment of simulating acts of harm and murder, but god forbid you see digitized TnA. It will never make sense to me.
tbh even if they did remove it, it doesnt matter. I dont even remember when there was nudity in the game. If it was there it was so inconsequential.
Agreed. It absolutely makes no sense
Also, even though Ubisoft reverted the changes that removed nudity, there's the bigger issue of developers being able to make large changes to the game you paid for whenever they want.
Stellar Blade comes to mind. This is why buying physical is the way to go.
The Smelter Demon is a bombastic boss design that bolsters Dark Souls 2's roster with an experience that updates an older fight's form to function.
Man, I dunno about that. In fact, most boss fights in Dark Souls 2 were forgettable.
Released on September 30 2014, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is 10 years old today, and it's still the best blueprint for the LOTR franchise.
Honestly, just a fantastic game/series (aside from the blunder of Microtransactions/grinding). The system with the orcs was amazing.. which it would be implemented in more games.
They patented the system, sadly. What that means legally I am not sure. But people don’t want to test the water.
I feel you bro. The experience got better once I tried it on PC, but I'm still probably only going to finish the Galadriel DLC and not the main campaign.
Me too lol. I beat Mordor, never beat War lol. I have it though so I could always go back and play it. I genuinely think the time will come that I can beat my backlog. Maybe when I hit the lotto and can just play video games all day, on my yacht.
This game convinced me to buy a new console. There was a huge difference between the previous gen (Xbox360/ PS3) & the latest gen (Xbox One/ PS4) . The Nemesis System was only available in Xbox One/ PS4 . That was how a generation shift should be.
i think DAI would be a better choice , but hell DS2 was good too ^_^
The only game on that list that i played and am still playing at 30% in is far cry 4. But i wouldn't call it one of the best games of 2014 just yet, in fact with all the sidequests and huge map i chalk it up as another gta clone set in india...it's an ok game but it has yet to make me say wow...
I have yet to buy into next gen, current gen, or whatever people want to call it because i feel there are still a bunch of great games in last gen that i haven't played and are now so much cheaper...but that's for another article.
