It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB566d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic566d ago (Edited 566d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo566d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic566d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

For Konami to release the numbers i assume it means it's a success. They better let bloober team make more silent hill remakes or a new silent hill.

Still need to buy it. Want to buy new, physical, but can't really justify it right now.

10 Great Games That Critics Hated But Fans Loved

There’s definitely no denying that some games might have been undeservedly bashed by critics. The reasons why vary from game to game, but there’s a lot of diamonds out there in gaming that have been obscured by plenty of rough.

Return Fire (PS1). It has a Metacritic of 71 but it is one of the best games on PS1. https://www.metacritic.com/...

Warframe. Started life with a 64 on meta but improved quite a bit over the years. I put north of 1000hrs in.

LucasRuinedChildhood92d ago

I suppose that's just a case of the score not updating as the game slowly got better. The PS5 and Switch versions are 85/86.

BlackCountryBob92d ago

Can we address how odd it is for the idea of hated by critics seems to work at anything below 80%? 3 of these 10 have a critics score of 70 or higher and only 1 has a score below 50.

I would say anything below 40 would be bad / hated, 40-59 is ok but missable, 60-69 is functionally average, 70-79 is good, 80-89 is very good, 90-94 is outstanding GOTY candidate, 95+ is genre defining

LucasRuinedChildhood92d ago

Yeah, Alien Isolation with a score of 79 certainly wasn't hated. lol

Best Action/Adventure Game of 2024

VGChartz's Chinh Tran: "In 2024, the candidates for Best Action/Adventure Game of the Year once again showed the versatility found in this genre. MachineGames masterfully showed off how first-person shooters can indeed be grand adventures, through Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Nintendo gave Princess Zelda her due, giving her the protagonist treatment in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Ninja Theory finally released the stunning graphical showcase of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. And finally, Bloober Team proved the legacy of the Silent Hill franchise is in capable hands with a stunning remake of Silent Hill 2."
