15 Video Games With Complex Stories

Ravi Sinha — Wed, 07 Apr 2021 10:20:29 +0000

Story-telling is an art and like many forms of creative expression, video game story-telling can be especially unique. Narratives can unfold in linear fashion or non-sequentially while making the player an active participant in events. And while some stories can be relatively straightforward, others are complex to the point of requiring multiple playthroughs. Let’s take a look at 15 titles with some of the more complex stories out there.

Alan Wake

Alan Wake travels to Bright Falls with his wife, who subsequently goes missing, but must also contend with the darkness within. Remedy’s high-profile Xbox 360 title was touted as a visually accomplished action-adventure game before launch. However, the story went beyond a traditional format, playing out in episodic fashion with dollops of Stephen King and David Lynch influencing the plot, and the writer’s will influencing the overall medium.

15 Most Underrated PS2 Games of All Time

The PlayStation 2 is one of the most successful consoles of all time, selling over 155 million units in its lifetime. It was home to a number of classic franchises, from Metal Gear Solid and Gran Turismo to God of War and Grand Theft Auto. However, there are a number of titles from the PS2 era that either didn’t perform well commercially or aren’t really appreciated in the present day. Let’s take a look at 15 of them here.

Ico

Are you tired about hearing how underrated Ico was (and still is)? Well, we’re not tired of saying it. Developed by Sony Japan Studio and Team Ico, the story of Ico and Yorda – told deftly through minimalist dialogue and incredible aesthetics – is still underappreciated. In terms of animation, presentation and puzzles, Ico was ahead of its time in 2001. It’s still a shame that it only sold 700,000 copies worldwide as of 2009.

15 Amazing Games That Flopped Commercially

Like with any other entertainment medium, video game sales aren’t always reflective of their quality. Often, we see great games coming out to widespread praise from critics and audiences alike that somehow manage to not sell very well. Sadly, it’s something that happens quite a lot, and in this feature, we’ll be taking a look at fifteen such games.

DEUS EX: MANKIND DIVIDED

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided ruffled some feathers with its abrupt ending, but no one could doubt that it was a great game. It built on the complex systemic moment-to-moment action from Human Revolution, offering players diverse choices in how they wanted to tackle any given objective, and all in all, was more than just a solid package. Sadly, at launch, the game’s sells fell below expectations, and Square Enix ended up putting the franchise on ice. Both Square Enix and Eidos Montreal have said on multiple occasions that the Deus Ex series isn’t done yet, so let’s just hope a sequel isn’t too far away (but it most likely is).

No More Heroes Creator Suda 51 Teases Announcement at MomoCon 2019

No More Heroes came crashing back in the quasi-sequel/quasi-spinoff Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes that released earlier in the year for Nintendo Switch. The game wasn’t what a lot of people were expecting or hoping for to see a continuation of the series, but it did end up being an unexpected celebration and crossover of the weird worlds of Suda 51, and it’s possible we’re going to see more, as he’s teasing something new soon.

MomoCon will run May 23-26 in Atlanta, Georgia, and via Destructoid, the convention has confirmed that Suda 51 will be there and will have an announcement. Nothing else is said, but last year Suda used the event to announce Killer7 coming to PC, which released later that year. Travis Strikes Again also has a bit of a tease for a third No More Heroes after the credits, while Suda himself has spoken about a proper third entry in the series himself as well, so there’s a few ways this could go. Either way, Suda fans have a lot of reasons to look forward to it.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is available now for Nintendo Switch.

15 Moments In Video Games That Made Gamers Go “Wait, What?”

Ravi Sinha — Wed, 04 Jul 2018 15:47:05 +0000

There have been numerous moments throughout the history of culture that make us question things. Books like Game of Thrones, movies like The Sixth Sense and even TV shows like, well, Game of Thrones have had their fair share of moments that made us go, “Wait, what?” So of course we’re going to outline 15 video game moments in the same vein. Let’s get started!

The Joker – Batman: Arkham Knight

When the Joker died in Batman: Arkham City, it was a pivotal moment. It even made us ponder about WB’s focus on exploring the beginning of the Batman-Joker in Arkham Origins. By the time Batman: Arkham Knight rolled around and Scarecrow’s ACE Chemicals plan was foiled, we knew why. The Joker was alive. In Batman’s head. Rocksteady does a decent job explaining why this is the case but honestly, this moment came out of left field.

15 Boss Weakness Gamers Blatantly Took Advantage of

Alex Jackson — Thu, 11 Jan 2018 16:56:18 +0000

Those big bad bosses that make or break a game are almost always massive set piece moments, some of the most memorable points on any video game, and the harder the better. Having something to triumph against is a better way to give your players pride and accomplishment than any loot box, but those truly memorable bosses, the ones that stick out in your mind, have that extra hidden weakness or strategy. Something you wouldn’t believe upon hearing it, but once you try it you just have your mind blown.

Taurus Demon – Dark Souls

Dark Souls is the alpha and omega of hard bosses, and the Taurus Demon, one of the earliest bosses in the entire Dark Souls series to introduce you to just how honest it’s going to keep you and burn that “You Died” screen into your retinas, is no pushover. But there is one advantage players have against the Taurus Demon. He’s really, really dumb. An easy AI exploit involving the towers at either end of the arena will let you repeatedly plunging attack the beastie for an easy win.

Suda 51 developing new XBLA and PSN title

Shubhankar Parijat — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 10:31:49 +0000

The mastermind behind No More Heroes, Goichi Suda, has announced his next side-scrolling, time-travelling (or something to do with time) side scroller for PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, and it will be called ‘Sine Mora.’ Sine Mora will be one of the first titles to come out of the collaboration publishing house between Suda’s Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality.

The game will be “an innovative shooter, which mixes traditional side-scrolling gameplay with unique time manipulation mechanics.” Nothing else has been told of the game yet.

Following Sine Mora, the collaboration aims at providing its gamers with “innovative titles for the online gaming market.”

“We think we can strongly benefit from having an ally such as Digital Reality in the digital publishing realm, who can provide long term online publishing services to its partners, and to gamers,” Suda says.
