Paul Tassi: "Microtransactions are here to stay so now the only real goal is for them not to be terrible. Against all odds, I think Assassin’s Creed Origins has actually managed to accomplish this, and I would love if more games followed its lead instead of constantly drowning us in loot boxes until they invent something even worse."
Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.
Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?
Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise
Thought the same - very bizarre!
RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.
Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.
DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.
AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.
I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.
Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?
I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.
"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.
In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
GF365: "Out of the many historically accurate games out there, these are our picks for the six best games that are historically accurate. While these games aren't completely accurate, they depict the times and situations of history well. Plus, they're all a lot of fun to play, too."
Historically accurate from the past is tough to truly know and judge especially the farther you go back because history is written from the people in power and doesn’t mean it’s the truth just the narrative they wanted to tell.
I don’t care about historically accurate in most games because they are games not biographies or history books . Just make the game fun , good gameplay and such .
Ghost of Tsushima wasn’t historically accurate in many things but I loved the game . Many examples like it .
Assassin's Creed and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege drive Ubisoft's financial results well above target.
Nah mate
Paul Tassi: "Microtransactions are here to stay so now...."
You should consider going and playing in traffic if you're going to be part of the problem. F**k off.
BS. Origins HAS loot boxes. Loot boxes that cost "in game currency", currency that you buy with real money. The fact that most reviewers ignored this fact, and many others flat out lied about it should be telling.
We don't need to choose between MTs or Loot boxes, all we need to do is stop buying games (especially single player games) that have them. Publishers will get the message. We're not required to volunteer to line their pockets just to enjoy games.
I saw articles like this when Online passes and season passes were new. One of those died 2 years after that and season passes and DLC are on their way out as we speak due to less and less people buying into them nowadays. I blame the fact that season pass's have risen in cost to double on average what they were when they were a new thing, and the fish aren't biting it. Loot boxes will continue to change over time to push the line of what's allowed until it too stops being a thing too. Nothing in the entertainment industry ever stays.
