Lollipop Chainsaw. I'm not a big fan of Suda51 but this game just hit all the right notes. Like a classic arcade beat-em up for the modern age.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Resonance of Fate. The most innovative and crazy JRPG of last gen. Only I ever played that game. There will never be a sequel because people don't like new and interesting things. They only want old FF gameplay.


I loved that game, but unfortunately it had a crucial flaw: the story. It was so poorly told and so poorly implemented that I barely had any interest on it when I were on the final chapters. Only gameplay carried the game through.

 

Adding 12 scopes to a handgun, though, that was awesome xD

Who cares about story when you can stack 3 iron sights on top of each other to improve acuracy!

Guns Guns Guns!

Indeed, but you just can't tease me with

a) A secret, extremely interesting pre-introductory video if you don't press Start when booting up the game.

b) An original, creative post-apocaliptic world.

c) Some awesome backstories for the main characters.

d) An uncommon villain.

just for the game to drop the ball hard halfway and just let you guess with huge plot holes, laziness and overall apathy when telling everything. Seriously, the final cutscene is like WTF did just happen, but the game employs no effort in explaining it.

 

It was just...sad, to see such an interesting proposition not being developed at all.

Imagine all the things they could've improved on in the sequel. So much potential.

Super Paper Mario.

No More Heroes/2.

The game didn't sell that bad, given the circumstances. Tri-Ace was just...dumb, for releasing it the same week as Final Fantasy XIII :(



Ninja blade was my faveourite hacker last gen. I loved it.
