Please note: just because a game didn’t deliver on everything it said it would doesn’t mean it was bad . A number of these games were still good, or at least decent. They just didn’t deliver of everything they were meant
Besides the games Nintendo has already announced for E3, fans should be able to expect some surprise game announcements, in addition to new looks at previously revealed Switch titles like Yoshi and maybe even Metroid Prime
Jack of Blades has managed to remain one of my all-time favourite antagonists in a video game. Partly down to his badass personality, but mostly for that iconic mask. Jack of Blades doesn’t make an appearance in the sequel and threequel, and I think if the new game was to be set after the events of the first game, then having some way of summoning him back to Albion would be a good way to bring back an iconic evil charac
Choosing to be good or evil was usually straightforward. Several of the main quests had an optional way to end them depending on the outcome, typically spare the foe for good points and kill them for evil. There were a couple quests where there were two available quests but they were the same event, the choice was just to determine what side the player was on which actually was a cool way of making it feel like you were choosing a side. A more fun way to rack up the evil points was to just go on a Grand Theft Auto style rampage in town and kill a bunch of guards and civilians, but again no killing children since they take away your weapons in the towns with kids. This can actually cause some problems, since you may want to go to town but end up having a massive bounty in several towns that doesn’t expire for a few days.
Project Ego sounded like nothing I had played before. Being able to pick and choose which quests to take wasn’t exactly groundbreaking, but the idea of the game taking place across the character’s lifetime was intriguing. There was talk about how the character would be designed and uniquely tailored to the player’s gameplay and they would be able to have children that would have a significant impact in the world. The character would receive unique scars from battle, they could plant a sapling and watch it grow in a massive tree throughout the course of the game and the NPCs would have unique reactions to the player based on their deeds to create the sense of a living world the player was truly a part of.
The Last of Us launched to rave reviews back in 2013, and fans have been waiting patiently for their chance to see what happens next to heroes Joel and Ellie. Set years after the end of the original game, rumors have been flying that The Last of Us: Part 2 features a dead Joel now that Ellie is the main playable character, though E3 might offer some clarification on that front and potentially put some of these rumors to r
Part of the enjoyment of open-world exploration is that there’s potential to hide things away. Being able to visit this site right here a library at the Guild would be great for lore-hungry players. And in Fable, players were able to break in and sneak around villagers’ houses and rob them. But I’d like to be able to see character backstories, so even though robbing is an evil deed in itself, the possible guilt from robbing someone could potentially make you feel even wo

The problem with Crackdown 2 it was basically more of the same, but worse. Very little in terms of gameplay was changed and the game actually featured less variety than its predecessor. Players could be forgiven for thinking it was the same game, or at least part of the same game. The story of Crackdown 2 was cut down in comparison to the first Crackdown , which left some wondering why they were fighting the good fight, doing the same thing over and over again. This game did not deli
