    I dunno, people are already dogging Hellblade 2 for being 7 - 10 hours, even though it's priced at $50 instead of $70. Maybe if it was advertised as being shorter & they explained what they were going for, people might have been a bit more lenient & it would've weeded out some unaware buyers who expected something else.

    I'm not a huge proponent of using hours as a metric for value as personally id prefer a really polished 20 hour experience over a bloated 70 hour. But I do think there is a sort of minimum that needs to be met especially when talking about a full priced AAA game. I would be a bit bothered paying $70 for 5 hours of game. At the AAA price I think about 15 hours(give or take) of polished gameplay is the sort of minimum to charge that price. At the AA price(30-50) or below i think 10 hours is perfectly fine. And at the indie prices, well tbh im impressed when a $7 game gives me even a solid 6 hours of gameplay, outside of roguelikes.

    Even though Mad Max's world is barren, it feels lived in. The rusted awnings, the grimy looking mattresses, tattered rags flying from settlement roofs, the jerry cans, the improvised weapons; all of them lend a feeling of humanity having hung on by the skin of its teeth. It's grim, its atmospheric and it's aged well as a game!

    Here's a little behind the scene for ya. Worked on Mad Max. Great project. If you played on controller, you officially got fucked. Why? Because an overzealous, ignorant creative director decided to remove the fucking handbrake from the driving in favour of... no exaggeration, for a problem that wasn't a fucking problem. BUT, if you go into the settings, you'll see there's an alternate mapping. We on the core team snuck the original mapping into the game as the alt mapping. Play that, you get the handbrake back, driving in game is 3000% better, and I maintain it's a fucking great game.

    Mad Max was one of the first games I fully played through on my old PC. That thing was a hunk of junk that didn’t even have an actual gaming GPU. Even still, I was able to play through the entire game at medium graphics settings with a solid 30 fps. It’s one of the best optimized games ever. The one minor issue I had with it was that I found the little bit of gunplay it had to be a bit boring, but the combat itself is incredibly fun as an Arkham fan.

    Not entirely relevant but i see a lot of people thinking a 70% 7/10 is a bad score and means a bad game. It really doesn't. Its supposed to be a solid game that you should read around a decide if you like the sound of, without it being spectacular. For some reason game scoring systems have always been heavily weighted towards the top of the scale compared to say film or music reviews. This isn't new, i'm old and its happened since i was a child. When i was younger i was sure it was because there were so many print publications that those that gave out bad scores lost access to future games. That no longer stands but its something thats never gone away. Obviously some games have a long tail and end up being thought of much better after a while. Alien Isolation absolutely fits into that. Some games just stand up better, or age well. Their graphic style stands out (for example Mirrors Edge), or fashions in gaming trend towards what they tried earlier. Basically don't write games off without either properly seeking out a wide range of views or if possible try stuff for yourself. A personal example is i recently played Lost in Random. Its Open Critic score is 72%. It's not the best game i ever played but it was worth the time and i could see the love the devs had put into it.

    7/10 means 5/10 and 5/10 really means 0/10 That’s honestly the logic. Nobody wants to rate something a 5, because apparently 5 is a bad score. So they inflate it. 7 suddenly means average meaning every ranking is really from 5-10. Never trust a 1-10 ranking for anything. People never rate below a 5 so it’s just a pointless metric. Also what are we measuring? How can you compare rdr2, Arkham city, fifa or portal? All vastly different games but succeed at what they set out to accomplish. Is a game like Tetris bad because it’s not a complex story driven game? Is it good because it’s 100% gameplay and nails its gameplay? If a game is in most aspects ‘bad’ but is so fun to play, is it still bad? A game like Simpsons hit and run, is by all intents and purposes, bad. Bad graphics, story and 3 mission types recycled on 3 recycled maps, but it’s still so fun to play lol

    Actually, due to how scores are calculated, anything below a 9 is bad. I'd hate to say it, but it's true. An 8 is almost like a fail, and 5 or less is a critical failure. So, if you give a game an 8, then you are actually hurting the company that made it.

    Regarding Mad Max being haunting, there's a region in it called The Dunes. In part of it I saw what looked like cargo containers, but on getting closer I saw that they were roofs, on houses, and I saw the tops of old utility poles. I find a hole, and I drop in, right into a child's bedroom, with a crib, and crayon drawings still on the walls, I go further in, and I battle some enemies, and I find a table still set for dinner, and some other things around the mostly intact house. It was, really eerie.

    not to be THAT guy but UM ACTUALLY lol Alex Mercer WAS the bad guy. BUT it was implied that Alex Mercer died when he released the virus and the PC you control is basically just the Virus inhabiting his body. Since then the Virus is objectively just trying to find more about it's origin and constantly being hunted, I think it puts him more as a anti-hero then villain but they do then make him the Villain in Prototype 2. Nothing wrong with that, although I liked the ambiguity of Alex Mercer more then the 'dad trying to save his daughter' character we got in 2.......but that's probably because that was one of the first and im so burned out on 'dad's saving daughters' in games at this point

    Alpha protocol is a game for a longtime I wondered if was just my own fever dream, no one ever talked about it. But recently a few creators I watch have been bringing it up. It was great for what it was, though a bit buggy. Its a shame you cannot really legally obtain it anymore outside of buying a physical disk 2nd hand and still having a console that can run it. One of the more reactive games that exists, if you play through it you'll think its pretty linear with maybe a few changes with people who died since it seems pretty seemless.

But I was also like a freshman in high school(or there abouts) and my only experience with 3rd person shooters were gears and ratchet and clank. Also controls were less standardized back then, not as experimental as the ps1 era, but not like today where if you pick up a game in a similar genre you expect they have the same control scheme. It was expected for games to have somewhat different control schemes. I just remember it being a really cool game, watched my friend play it, then played it twice myself and it was pretty different each time. Which was mind blowing to me at the time, and honestly still is.

    It was criminally treated. You can definitely tell they were a bit rushed to get it out the door from that ending. If it would have just gone a little longer, it would have been better received. I still wish it had a sequel or a re-release, or something. It was just such a compelling world and concept.

    I just recently played "Mad Max" for the first time after a massive sale, and it's honestly one of my favorite games of the last decade. The world is as bleak and desolate as you would imagine the Mad Max universe to be, and the threat of danger is overwhelming and pervasive. The skill trees and equipment upgrades actually feel impressive, like you're really levelling up towards badassery, and the story becomes intense as it finishes. I've recommended this game to everyone who's willing to listen.

To this day I have not played a game with better looking skyboxes. The whole wasteland is gorgeous. Every bit of coverage I see hails it as a fantastic hidden gem and every once in awhile I see KZreadr post a video praising it. It is constantly on sale on Xbox for as low as $5 and nearly every review is 5 stars. It is a real shame that it is a hidden gem, and that they shut off the online functionalities so many years ago.

Someone who is introduced to the game through those player's recommendations will have high expectations, likely too high to ever be met, which leads to opposite effect of people finding the game to be overrated and mediocre. As with anything, approach it with neutral to low expectations and you will not be disappointed.

    Great video! Im glad you went way back in time. Let's also not forget Battleborn, which came out the same time as Overwatch. Battleborn was actually also a MOBA, but had a full suite of content: story campaign that could also be played co-op, customizable characters, skill trees and progression for all characters, background story missions for every character, smooth, competitive MOBA... the list goes on. Blizzard conducted a massive smear campaign against Battleborn that completely eradicated any chance of the game seeing the spotlight despite the game actually being leagues better than Overwatch in many ways.

I bought the remastered bundle on sale in 2018 but only ended up replaying the second game again due to finding the first one rudimentary in comparison (apparently it is the opposite). To me Prototype 2 was always been one of those games that everyone looks back on fondly but I am discovering that my perspective is wrong. I still want to beat the 1st at some point, but all the bad feelings around this franchise kills my enthusiasm somewhat.

Shame Activision hates money and the only way to get it is to pirate it. They only had just a bit over a year to make the whole game, sure it's not perfect but it's really cool. That is also the game where the Web Strike move originated from that most Spidey games used afterwards!

    Alien Isolation is a gem, and sad we haven’t got a proper “retread” or sequel to this game. I’d love a GOOD colonial marines one day. I would also say Lords of the Fallen (2023) could make this list. After patches it’s definitely more playable on console, however its biggest flaw is severe lack of enemy variety. The same enemy in newer areas just deals more damage and has more health for some reason.

Working Joe While I can somewhat understand point 4 or at least see how people get annoyed by them the rest is just bullshit to justify the 70% rating of IGN.

    The Order 1886 was a game I got the platinum trophy on in about nine hours and didn’t really touch much afterwards. I would think about some of the weapons and concepts from time to time but not much else. That game will always bring up the disappointment of what could have been to me as the premise itself and early trailers really made it seem like I would be fighting monsters and not one and a half werewolf fights and a cutscene with vampires. Not to mention one chapter was exclusively a cutscene. The setting and initial premise are really nice, gunplay and weapons were always fun and the graphics are still nice. That’s all I really got to say on that game.

    Prototype 2 brings up a list idea I've considered for a while: games that were good -- even great, but fell short of the expectations its predecessors established. Halo 4 and Infinite both suffer from that, as well as Gears of War 4 and 5 and Fallout 4. I would say even Starfield since everyone loves Elder Scrolls and Fallout and Starfield is good just not what we come to expect. Conversely you can have a list of sequels that blew us all away just like the first game did, like Halo 2, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Fallout: New Vegas.

    Trash games. I forced my way through Bloodborne, the difficulty isn't that bad, more cheap if anything.

    ​@undary0u right. The people in my circle that love those games and say they're not hard are the same ones who say that Ninja Gaiden was too hard and cheap.

    Man the nostalgia of playing DW games !! 3 has the goofiest voice over ever. But by the time 7 and 8 came out, there were masterpieces in their own genre. Gameplay was really fun, story well told, characters likeable and charming. So sad, 9 was the nail in the coffin for the series

    Alpha Protocol was such a unique experience and I wish there was more like it. The Order was disappointing because it was AAA money with a terribly short game. No multiplayer or additional playthroughs.

    Alpha Protocol is a fantastic game. I never give up hope that we’ll get another one. Most of these games are much better than critics give them credit for. Great video.

    I played Order 1886 for the first time this year and I thought it was a quintessential 7/10 game. Decent story, satisfying gunplay but bogged down by QTEs, an instant fail stealth section, and, of course, a cliffhanger ending to set up 3 future sequels that never happened. I think a bigger problem we have is that we completely distorted that 1-10 review scale that is, by definition, pretty function (if we HAVE to assign numerical values to media to establish their quality). In the last generation and a half it feels like the scale morphed into 1-6 (abysmal, DOA garbage), 7 (bad), 8 (good), 9 (great), 10 (either a truly remarkable game, or a good game that comes from a big time developer and/or publisher that will get very upset if they get anything but a 10), and 11 (Bloodborne). Games media need to reclaim the lower number, or get rid of them entirely, which, coincidentally, is how gameranx does it and I appreciate.

    I still love the Prototype games to this day. I’d love to see them do a next gen entry to the series. Sadly it seems it’s a series that won’t see the light of day unless a studio takes up the mantle, similar to the Soul reaver game that was in the works and disappeared.

    Lost Planet mentioned! Currently playing through Lost Planet 3, in the endgame now. It's not as flashy as fast-paced as the 1st game, but it is pretty enjoyable! Aside from the in-engine cutscenes, that's still plenty jarring. Love the combat, just wish a couple of mech VS. Akrid bosses were made a bit clearer. Anyway, Sonic Unleashed would've been my Candidate for this list! Really good game, and def a top favorite Sonic game for me! Critics trashed on it back in the day, leading to either IGN or GameSpot's infamous "Sonic was never good statement". Metacritic has it at 60, with users giving it an 8.5. The Werehog is certainly overhated, and pretty fun!

    Spider Man Web of Shadows was rushed due to Shaba Games having a deadline by when the game needed to be released. This deadline was given by treyarch or Activision. So they focused their time in the combat system. That’s why you see repeating textures around the city.
