Harry potter could be a great game to use it. The students and the enemies could each have their own seperate tree.

Michiel198980d ago

then kill em and they come back? seems fitting for the universe

mkis00780d ago

I mean you didn't actually kill the orcs that came back in shadow...orcs don't have that power in the LOTR universe. Meanwhile you do kill enemies (human and beast) in hogwarts legacy.

No, you would defeat them and they would come back.

jznrpg81d ago

It was a good idea but with of without it you need to make a good game first

RaidenBlack81d ago

Yep,
Instead of WW, WB could've assigned Monolith for a current gen FEAR game that could've used the Nemesis system as its base. But alas. The WB IP is what supposedly killed them.
Hope Rocksteady gets to use Nemesis in their next Batman 1P game.

Warner bros is so full of it. Usually corporations cry about piracy but this was simply due to the second hand market and they don’t t like that.

Chocoburger81d ago

It was a neat idea, but the game is packed with a lot of repetitive filler grindy stuff, clearly designed to make the game last longer. The sequel went overboard, with the filler as well, in order to nudge players towards micro-trash-actions, which were eventually dropped.

NoDamage81d ago

Thats why I couldn't get into the sequel even though I really liked the first one and so wanted to like the 2nd. Unfortunately twas not meant to be.

Racing games have become so modernized -- but that's not entirely a good thing.

In my opinion, Burnout 3 is much better than Burnout Paradise.

The need for speed games are decent, but they focus so much on story that they are a bit of a turn off. I genuinely prefer just picking the race from menus and moving on to the next race event through there. Also the focus on open world for racing games is a bit overplayed. I have to drive to the next event? Lame. It’s okay to have an open world mode, but a menu base career mode without story is preferable to me.

Nacho_Z104d ago

Totally agree, racing games don't get better than a series of tightly designed events one after the other with no filler. Open world design is...ok, but it's not peak racing for me.

badz149104d ago

Yeah...I think so too. BO Paradise being the most acclaimed entry in the series buy ironically, it was the one that turned me off the series altogether. Tried several times to like it since the PS3 version, nah...not the same. 2 and 3 were awesome on the PS2!

DazaMc104d ago

I hate open world racing games. I love learning the track which is almost impossible in an open world city.

Retroman104d ago

NFS used to be fun now all open world racing. Used to be able select your cars and tracks. Now you drive through a town to get to the race what kind of Crap is that?? Open World is overwhelming. I'm at the point if I want to play NFS it'll be closed circuit old skool NFS PS2 era
Criterion is ruining my favorite racing game.

Nuclearmoon104d ago

Midnight club, Project Gotham racing and burnout were peak racing games for me. All arcade racers but at very different levels.

ovven19104d ago

People need to differentiate between Racing games and Driving games. If you just want to race, don't choose an open world game. If you just want to drive around an interesting environment, choose an open world game. There is room enough for both.

SoloGamer1103d ago

i 2nd this! I love them both! Forza Horizon 5 is an amazing open world driving game.. just as Gran Turismo 7 is an amazing racing game. room for both
