Though Goldeneye 64 tends to take most of the plaudits, many consider the original Perfect Dark to be the best multiplayer FPS of the N64 era . Critics seem to agree, with Joanna's debut outing just edging out the Bond classic by a single point on Metacritic . With that in mind, when rumors of a Perfect Dark reboot began circulating back in 2018, excitement levels were fairly high among the gaming commun
Though it certainly had its moments, some may find it hard not to feel just a little underwhelmed by everything that E3 2021 had to offer . Going into the expo, there were scores of big titles that could theoretically have made an appearance and yet the majority of them failed to even get a mention, let alone a trailer. It's possible that the gaming community's expectations were a tad higher than they should have been, but there remains a sense of disappointment lingering in E3's wake nonethel
Aurora, an island to the east of Albion, isn't considered a part of the kingdom during the first and second games. By the time of Fable III, however, the player brings them into Albion (though whether it's as an active participant or just a colony to exploit for resources, is uncle
Sock's grave can be found in Fable II reading "Meredith Sock. Your novels suck." Despite this widespread hatred, these books seem to consistently crop up in Albion; in Fable II, they can be purchased at book stores, and in Fable III, some Reliquary bookcases seem to hold complete volumes of his wo
If you played Fable III for the first time at a young, impressionable age and were horrified by the opening cutscene, in which an ambitious chicken leaves home to explore the city but it's implied he's killed by the ending, then there is good n
This added level of customization makes each player's trip through Metal Gear Solid 5 as a personalized Venom Snake unique, as everyone will decide that different options are important. Missing out on certain loadouts by the end of the game can be disruptive, but overall, the ability to invest in items is a huge part of MGS5 . Then there's the recruitment feature that fuels this entire system, by picking up enemies to bring onto Snake's side and gain their benefits to unlock better equipm
Allowing players to recruit enemies could open up for something that MGS5 delved slightly into, but never really got the most out of, outside of a few required missions. An additional risk and reward to consider with taking ex-terrorists like Demens especially, could be the opportunity for these enemies to betray the player. This can either cause an upset that the player then has to head out to and address, or create an entirely new narrative within Death Stranding , where Sam is tasked with finding this person and bringing them b
Given the systems present in Death Stranding , as well as the overarching narrative of connecting the world and connecting with others, any character creation Systems interactions should be given the chance to have positive effects. Even the incentive not to kill the Mules and Demens that try to kill or stop the player could be maximized on with the ability to recruit them, though there may be a give and take with some of them. Then, aside from the new ways that this could allow for NPC interactions, recruitment could completely remake the development of new gear in Death Stranding
A character that is more prone for betrayal as well could give an incentive for the player to kill them, even with every system that currently marks that as the absolute last option that should be taken. So now the player chooses, kill a traitor for the greater good, because they're too much of a risk to be left alone, or try to reach out to them again with the possibility that they could cause more damage. This is exactly the kind of tough choice that Kojima Productions is known for forcing into its narratives, but could have an even stronger effect by making the decision completely up to the pla
This is a bit of a heavy topic for a game to take, but Death Stranding 's best moments come from jumping into really tough situations, like Higgs' backstory and the Chiral Artist's relationship with the Junk Dealer. The same situation might not work as well with Demens, considering the ideological difference there not being something that can be so easily handwaved with a "because video game" mechanic. However, including these enemies can open up for new options that only some players might even see by the end, but could have a huge impact on the experience and perception of the game wo
BW: It did play an important role. To my understanding, Black Label doesn’t only exist to tell more adult/mature stories. It also exists to provide a home for out-of-continuity DCU stories. That’s the part that convinced me this is the way to go. The Batman that exists in this story does not neatly fit into the established DCU continuity and the existing timeline. It transcends it, holding onto everything I count as essential to the Batman mythos, and leaving aside the extraneous bits that crop up over decades of stor
