Oh wow, they actually have Fuchi/Tachikoma-inspired tanks.

Started playing this last weekend with my friends. It's quite fun.

ALoneWolves5407d ago

It's been out for a little while now...

iNcRiMiNaTi5407d ago

been playing for about a week now, its actually pretty fun. recon and assault are my favorite classes. support is just to damn slow for me, has no sprint or invisibility compared to the other 2 classes. once i hit 20 exp i usually stick to being assault because of that last sniper rifle.

This mod puts left 4 dead to shame and its FREE!!!! to anyone who owns any half life 2 source engine games... including left 4 dead.

THAT is why PC gaming will never die.

PC gaming is where everything spawns, consoles are just standardised versions of what's already available on PC.

That's why this gen i was ready to switch, i could buy a single console that i could game on with good graphics, effects & sounds whilst supporting my need for connected gaming.

MS's 'presence' and cross-game chat is no more than advanced than what we used to do with IRC scripts and a teamspeak server. But it's standardised in the 360.

We should be seeing quadHD 3d gaming on the pc very soon, guess that Natal will make it to PCs also.

One of the best SciFi movies/series has inspired an incredible FREE mod. This could easily have been packaged as a retail title, add a quick SP mode and a few touches and it would have sold quite well. A damn fine effort form the team.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis6d ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast6d ago

It's worth a play through today.

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name49d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno49d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno48d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure48d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
