EGX 2015: Friday Round-Up | VGU

Sam Foxall from VGU writes: 'Today was my first on the show floor down at EGX 2015 in Birmingham, with there being a massive range of games to demo and see played within the halls of the NEC. I mostly got to play indies today, as the line for the big names were up to 5 hours long so this will mostly contain the smaller games.'

Who decides if a games story is average idefinitely ain't listening to no reviewers. I don't agree with most of then anyway. I think alot of them are to harsh on games so they can get clicks

banger88804d ago

Every Soulslike game ever made.

refocusedman804d ago

zelda has a story line? Actually do any nintendo 1st party games have decent (not even good) storylines?

NotoriousWhiz804d ago

Does Xenoblade count as 1st party? That's the only one I can think of.

NotoriousWhiz804d ago

Also, Ocarina of time definitely had a decent (but not great) story.

Brazz804d ago (Edited 804d ago )

Zelda average story line!? Zelda Story sucks, most time It comes to "save the princess", Nintendo sucks at story outside Fire Emblem and perhaps 1-2 other IPs.

DOMination-803d ago

Actually the Souls games and Zelda games share something in common, which is that they reward gamers for seeking out the story rather than thrusting it in their faces. Not saying this is better or worse, but it's unfair to say they don't have them.

People will be surprised to learn that if you dig a bit deeper into Zelda games, there's a whole lot of really dark and crazy stuff happening.

@DOMination

Thrust in your face??? I assume by that you mean basic story-telling 101? Lol.

I platinumed both Niohs but for the life of me, couldn’t tell you what happened in the story lol! I can namedrop Nobunaga, but that’s about it.

ChasterMies804d ago (Edited 804d ago )

The pinnacle of bad story but great gameplay is Destiny and Destiny 2. What is the Traveler? What is the Darkness? What the heck is happening? No one knew. But shooting the aliens and robots felt so good.

Brazz804d ago (Edited 804d ago )

Article os about "average" story. But If you wanna talk about bad story but great gameplay you need to look at Nintendo, they are the masters at making poor shirt story on great gameplay.

HeliosHex804d ago

@deus. If you want more of the story fleshed out in detail I'd recommend the destiny grimoire anthology 1-6 25 bucks each. It's really good I loved the backstory on the guns.

Relientk77803d ago

"I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain."

Is my favorite line from Destiny's "story" lol

Sorry, but the princess is in another castle.

I'm pretty sure Eitr is cancelled from what it said on their steam page, I was really looking forward to that one.

thorstein909d ago

This is the year we finally see PS3's Rockstar game: Agent.

Follow that up with the amazing WiLD. Can't wait.

To top it all off, Star Citizen will be complete.

isarai908d ago

Dude, WiLD fading into vaporware sucked, it was such a "my type of game" i hope it still comes out eventually, but i doubt it
