IGN : In this week's monster-sized episode of Next-Gen Console Watch, Daemon is joined by the usual crew of Ryan McCaffrey, host of IGN’s Xbox podcast, Podcast Unlocked, and Max Scoville, host of IGN's PlayStation podcast, Podcast Beyond, along with IGN's publisher, John Davison. This week's topic: are modern games releasing buggier than previous generations? And what's the outlook for upcoming AAA games like Diablo IV and Starfield?
TNS: "We're shining a light on a bunch of "bad" games that may've been left wanting when it comes to their critical or audience reception."
Good list I've had similar reactions to some games even ones on the list like the order and Callisto
Also I recently grabbed forspoken for, 5 dollars at a eb games Clarence sale and I am actually enjoying it more than I thought I would
Sometimes you just need to give critically panned games a chance
I feel like we’re finally starting to see a sea change in how we treat our favorite games. Sure, we all acknowledge that a game can suck and we can still enjoy it. Hopefully this results in meaningful review scores. Personally, I find a lot of bad games are better if you blast through them on the easiest difficulty. Callisto protocol on the image is a good example of this.
Actually, I started liking FO76 after the wastelanders DLC ... it has been my guilty pleasure
other games I can think of Order 1886, Driveclub, Resident Evil 6 (only the Leon part), Alpha Protocol (pretty unique, needs a remake), XIII Remake (after patches), Medal of Honor 2010, Medal of Honor Warfighter, Homefront The Revolution, Enemy Front, Legendary The Box, Faces of War, Conflict: Vietnam, Conflict: Global Storm & Codename: Panzers – Cold War
I loved The Order, ridiculous graphics for it's time and a very interesting setting, it was linear but not as bad as people say. Similar thing with Callisto Protocol, i admit that i played it a long time after release so maybe issues were fixed by then, but it was a fantastic Dead Space-like horror game with some of the best graphics i've seen in my life.
Thanks to the Starfield Creation Kit, the "Earth Restored" mod has transformed the Earth into a Pine Forest and filled the sea with life.
Blizzard is introducing the Diablo 4 Spiritborn class in the Vessel of Hatred premium DLC this October! First details and trailer now out.
Path of Exile 2 is going to finish off this game. They could have competed if they we back to their D2 roots, but they insisted on reskinning their mobile game.
Going into the 3rd year these are not "next gen games". Also PC is already ahead of Series X and PS5.
Must mean the series s. And btw, we are in current gen not next.
current gen..since 2,5 years already.
Ratchet and clank, horizon fw and bs, returnal were all great next gen games with no issues......notice a trend there...
