    Until Dawns' branching paths were as consequential as Detroit BH, if not more.

    • @Armataan
      @Armataan Před 5 lety

      Until Dawn was, as far as 'design', the best game that company has made. Everybody loves Detroit, and beyond got lots of praise too, but Until Dawn did it all better.
      Though Detroit is a good game. IMO, the best 'telltale' developer in the business.

    • @___Nightbreeze
      @___Nightbreeze Před 5 lety

      So is that saying Detroit's branching does very little? Detroit is on my list to play, but I've already played Until Dawn. I liked Until Dawn but each character (except for 1 of them) only can die in about 2 places, and like one of those possible death situations is shared between almost all of the characters... And besides that, there's only like 2 or 3 choices that had much impact later in the game.

      I am a PERSON I’m glad someone finally brought it up.
      It was released in broketober (what I call October) and had fierce competition. It would have even directly competed with BFV if that wasn’t delayed.
      I hope that the sales were good enough to warrant another entry or continued support.

    My pick for this would be Fire Pro Wrestling World on PS4. If you’re tired of WWE’s “same game every year” crap in recent years (and you don’t mind a retro look when it comes to graphics), Fire Pro is the way to go. Definitely a fun game to play around in, once you get used to the gameplay and controls.
    If you miss barbed wire baseball bats and other extreme stuff, AI that actually tries more than just countering everything, and even intergender fighting (for those that would like to see, for example, Supergirl go to war against Minoru Suzuki or something), play some Fire Pro! Hell, if you miss GM Mode from the old SmackDown Vs Raw games, Fire Pro will have a GM Mode available soon as well.

    I kinda feel that there's a game that is far beyond overlooked to the point it has been forgotten.. but I honestly hope it does make a comeback someday with some re-imagining or something like that (At the time, it was a mess.) but it's Chaos Legion. I feel it's been soooo overlooked for years (PS2 era old.) and I'm sure there's a lot of negative things to say about it. (There are a few, trust me.) But I think that this game could use a little bit of polish, upgrade a few things, redo a few things here and there and make it be way better than its original. I definitely know there's potential in this game, even though it kinda looks like a DMC clone (kinda..) but like I said, just a few touch and go places, fix a few things, and it's definitely a gem. I really hope Capcom can remake it under a different person who knows the game full well and see the potential shine I know it has.
