MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
Hey Poor Player's James Davie Takes Us On A Bio-Shocking Deep Dive Into Irrational Games' Nautical Nightmare.
Wow, pretty interesting to see Ratchet & Clank TOD at 2nd. BioShock is number one and that's more good enough for me and plus, it has Zack & Wiki. If only Assassin's Creed was, I'd have called it perfect.
Yup agree 1. bioshock 2. R&C. Although COD4 should be higher.
Fair list but COD4 should be much higher.
first of these lists I agree with, cod4 that low, not sure about that but its a good list, this guy knows his games.
Ps3 guys wouldnt you put Uncharted or Warhawk ahead of R&C ???
Not a bad list. COD4 should definately be higher (#3 or #4 at least) & I would have to put Mass Effect at the #1 spot, just for me personally. Bioshock is an incredible game, lol, i wish i could erase it & M.E. from my memory & do 'em again ! And yeah, I'd throw AC a bone & give it #10 = best climbing mechanic ever seen in a videogame + very cool swordplay. I just wish they had fleshed it out alittle more & lol, borrowed a writer from Bioware !
