Thanks for the info. lol, At stupid disagree with info!
Bullet Witch wasn't that bad and Vampire Rain was seriousl hilarious :)

ThaGeNeCySt6382d ago

lmao @ Vampire Rain + Bullet Witch sharing the number 6 spot... any list with Two Worlds that's labeled "Worst Games" is A-OK with me

tk6382d ago

Sadly i have to agree and disagree. With the part that I played of Lair so far, it did turn out to be bad. Not because the graphics was bad - it is visually one of the most impressive games. Not because of the controls - I like the motion controls. Not because of the game play - the gameplay is some of the best that I have experienced so far. Then why? Because the devs don't allow you to play the game. They shunt you from cut scene to cut scene. Allow only a few minutes of play before - bam - another cut scene - and they shunt you into some other sub mission in middle of flight. You start becoming disorientated and confused with all the shunting around - which destroys the gameplay and the strategy that you wanted to follow. The game is amazing - the visuals, the sound, the battle options - but you get to do the move that you had to master only once or twice before you get shunted around and not allowed to do it again. If they made this game a bit more free roaming strategy where you could take on the enemy your way - then it would be one of the best games of the year. Instead some moron decided to script your game for you and shunt you into a list of mini battle games and you don't get to decide on anything in the game except to follow the pre-prepared script - down to the minute.

So from a pro Sony supporter, who waited long for Lair, yes - this game gets the thumbs down from me - because the devs decided to ruin your experience by not allowing you to play the game. And it is a pity - because all the elements and gameplay elements is there to make this game epic. If they gave us the game engine in a Warhawk free play scenario this game would be in the top ten this year - and it looked so doable - because all the elements to do it is there.

Forgot to add - it looks like a game developed by the MS Office Help team. You know - the guys who came with clippy - the annoying Interfere-as-you-go assistant that you just can not get rid of.

Danja6382d ago (Edited 6382d ago )

I agree..with the random cut scenes interrupting gameplay..and the sucky targeting system..and the repetitive missions..but the controls worked fine contrary to what reviewers had sad..and it's still a good game..overall..

KineticX6382d ago

I can't speak for Vampire Rain, but I didn't think Bullet Witch was that bad.
Certainly not as bad as Two Worlds, I thought it was quite fun, maybe not as much playability as most games, but still fun.

MetalNCarnet6382d ago

sorry, but I don't see Two Worlds as a bad game. After the patches came out (about a week after launch), the game really doesn't have any problems. I like it more than Oblivion right now too. It has a bigger worlds and more interesting quests.

Doom: The Dark Ages proves what we all knew: Day-one Game Pass cannibalizes sales

Despite many having great things to say about Doom: The Dark Ages, it seems that Xbox Game Pass may have hurt its sales upon release.

Absolutely does and absolutely has since 2017. I would have bought it in the good ol' days but instead just downloaded on gamepass. Ideal.

£70 or 7 months GP. I know which works for me. Do what works for you.

Lightning7717h ago

As I mentioned above The sand fall devs seem to be happy with sells and that's on GP and Oblivion.

Dudebro2h ago

Sand fall is a new dev studio with a jrpg i.p...probably wasn't confident enough to pass on the money for raw sales.the game has sold 4mil, so they're next game won't be day and date with game pass.

@fishy: “Absolutely does and absolutely has since 2017.”
Totally agree with you there.
IF the article is to be believed it sold less than 1/3 the number of active players reported on day 1 but I’ll be fair and say it sold 1/3,
According to a certain community any game that sold a million or less is a flop. 🤷🏿 🤦🏿

7 months or 3.5? Isn’t gamepass $20/month?

Lightning7717h ago

What about expedition 33? That sold well as along side Oblivion remaster.

I think It was MS cramming these games together. Especially when you factor in 2 high profile releases. Ppl are still playing Expedition and Oblivion.

Stevonidas2h ago

Expedition 33 was $50 with a 10% discount to those who preordered before release.

You’d think more publishers would realize that lowering the price of your game (especially if its’s on GamePass) would lead to more sales. After all, 70% of $50 is better than 100% of nothing.

Their greed will be their downfall. Good riddance.

It probably does but I don’t think this game was as hype as eternal in general.

Eternal got released for pirate pre-cracked day of release for free and sold very well.

This time around I personally just played it on game pass because I wasn’t feeling it as much as eternal.

Profchaos2h ago

Gave it a pass because it wasn't on the disc ended up borrowing it from a mate played it through in like a week it was fun better than eternal not as good as 2016

Reaper22_4h ago

Maybe so but GP subscriptions keeps the money coming in.

lukasmain2h ago

Obviously not enough was 'coming in', so they had to resort to releasing all their games on Playstation
