Ori is my most anticipated Xbox game

Bronxs152357d ago

I don’t like the changes they made. I loved the first one but they seemed to mess with the formula too much with all the combat options now.

DrumBeat2356d ago

Ori steam rolls. Little dude is a god of the industry.

TheEnigma3132357d ago

Crackdown and Anthem are most anticipated because people want to see how much of a train wreck they will be.

Ristul2357d ago (Edited 2357d ago )

6 years later and crackdown 3 still looks like an average game.

DarXyde2356d ago

I don't see much reason to get excited about Crackdown 3 as a game, but it is a huge proving ground for Microsoft's cloud technology. It's really the last chance they have to prove its viability this generation. Commercially, I'm sure the game will do fine; it has Terry Crews attached to it and enough media advertising the game with him in it that's pretty funny. Critically, however, I can't say I have much faith there.

Other than that, Gears of War is Gears of War (make what you will of that--you're either pretty excited or not really at all) and Ori and the Will of the Wisps seems promising. Loved the first one. Tunic might be a neat game, but I'll wait on that one. Other than that, the rest of this list seems pretty accessible elsewhere (PC, PS4). It's nearing the end of the generation I'm sure, so if I felt that there wasn't a whole lot before, I'm really not expecting it now.

Don't have an XBox, but am SUPER excited for crackdown 3 on PC!

DMC2 ranked 2nd and also DmC ranked 3rd?
What a load of BS!

ABizzel158d ago

IMO

6. DMC2 6/10
5. DMC4 7.5/10 (Hated Nero, repeat bosses, Dante was the saving grace but only about half the game)
4. DmC 7.5/10 (solid overall, some great ideas, meh story, dialog sucked, and the director almost killed DMC)
3. DMC1 8.5/10 (all around solid)
2. DMC5 9/10 (carried by Dante & Nero gameplay, I didn’t like V’s, Nero’s better but still not a fan)
1. DCM3 10/10 (chef’s kiss)

Vits58d ago

Well, it worked.

This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.

Pyrofire9558d ago

WHAT!? who in their right mind would put 2 near the top (not at the bottom) unironically?
I think all of them are worth playing in their own right honestly, except 2 unless you REALLY want to experience the whole series.

FinalFantasyFanatic57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

I honestly don't know what the author was smoking, personally I'd rank DMC3 as no.1, maybe DMC5 as second, DMC1 as third, DMC4 as fourth, and DMC as fifth and DMC2 last. such a bizarre list, mybe the author just has strange taste.

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq158d ago

"Devil May Cry 2 isn’t trash. It’s just misunderstood by a fanbase that doesn’t like change."

This and putting DMC 2 number 2 is all I need to ignore this ranking. DMC2 is absolute trash and it's clear this person doesn't understand exactly why.

Flenter58d ago

For me: 3,1,5,4,2 and then .....Dmc

fsfsxii58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name58d ago

"almost 20-year-old series"

It's 24 years old.

Kinda reminds me of miasmata also with how the navigation works. Not to miasmata's extent but definitely in the same vein

Mark Darrah: stop harassing devs because you don't know what caused "the thing that you're mad at"

Former BioWare executive Mark Darrah says "be a human being, have some empathy."
Fans don't know who is actually to blame.
Darrah throws up a hypothetical that someone might not like how an actor delivered a line. Sure, it could well be down to the actor, but it also might be down to who was directing them, how the writer asked their work to be delivered, or maybe that was the only take they got.

This line from the video though

"Maybe the CEO of the entire company really wanted his nephew to be hired as a script consultant and this guy with literally zero experience was coming in and pushing for mandatory changes"

Like others have said that seems far too specific to just be an example...

Eonjay113d ago

Exactly. And the crazy part about this is that the people there just doing their job and trying to make a living are the one's getting hurt and losing their jobs. I am also not a fan of targeting specific individuals. Its poor form. These are video games.

RiseNShine113d ago

If only there was a single problem with this game, it was a train wreck waiting to crash and burn.

thorstein113d ago (Edited 113d ago )

As usual, common sense falls on deaf ears. I mean, he thinks this article is about Dragon Age Veilguard. He rejects logic and evidence.

What possible logic or evidence can you provide to convince him otherwise.

Notellin112d ago

The community has spoken and would like for you to stop instead.

Armaggedon112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

@Thorstein

Cant expect people to see reason now a days.

@Notellin
Sure. Go ahead and bury yourselves beneath your own ignorance.

thorstein113d ago

This article isn't about that game.

Gamingsince1981112d ago

Veilguard was complete trash though anyway.

Notellin112d ago

Then don't use it for the thumbnail. It's misleading on purpose to draw this reaction.

thorstein112d ago

Or...I don't know... read the article.

staticall113d ago

Personally, i think we should always blame and criticize the management (especially top management; like with EA - every screw up should be blamed on Andrew Wilson and his goons). They're the ones with the power, the ones who have the last say in the matter - whatever is the plot details, gameplay, microtransactions, budget and «It's ok that it's buggy and crashes constantly, release the game ASAP, we'll fix it later».

Harrasement is not ok in my book, although, nowadays, many people paint every type of criticism (whatever warranted or not) as harrasement. Which is a very narrowminded and waters down actual harrasement problems. But, i guess, it makes it easier to ignore everything bad you see aimed towards yourself.

I would also like to add, that this topic is a double-edged sword, some developers are being mean to their customers, calling them names or any sort of -isms, that happens. In that case, don't be surprised, that, when you're «firing shots», customers are «shooting back» at you.

SimpleDad113d ago

We do want better games, and we get them by criticizing bad ones.

Eonjay113d ago

No you don't. Everything is criticized by somebody these days. By that logic everything is bad. Thats just more fuel for the echo chamber. The way you get games you want is by supporting the types of games you want by buying them. You want more games like Astrobot? Buy Astrobot. Recommend it to others. Its not about bashing what you don't like. its about supporting what you do like. Money talks.

SimpleDad113d ago

Absolutely, I buy my games cause subscriptions are also part of the problem. I don't criticize myself personally, but by observing criticism by others, I avoid purchasing games with problems.

TheColbertinator113d ago

No we don't. FIFA and Madden get criticized every year and the games get worse and more overpriced.

Christopher113d ago

Lack of profit is the only way to do it, but people are fine buying shit games every day, just not the shit games we talk about regularly here. We distract ourselves with this stupid 'social mirage' issue and the corporations get to keep doing less and less but selling it for more and more.

Armaggedon113d ago

“Better game” with big air quotes. What you like more, makes more sense.

Gamingsince1981112d ago

Says the only guy in the world that likes vanguard, I bet you like avowed aswell huh

Empathy has no value when it comes to killing a franchise loved by thousands.

Eonjay113d ago

Empathy always has value when dealing with other human beings. This includes empathy towards the fans who feel scorned and the devs who worked their asses off.
