Grandia wow I didn't know that was possible I'm vaguely interested in WoFF, mostly because I like the idea of putting small animals on characters' heads. It's a decent enough concept but I had to refer to tutorials several times to get an idea of what I was doing, and that's never a good thing. 73. Indigo Prophecy Original Release: 2005 Developer: Quantic Dream Platform: XB360 I bought this on Live Marketplace when I desperately wanted to play something, and it's still the only Quantic Dream game I've played. Don't remember much of the plot, though, but I do remember it was interesting. Especially the main character's (Lucas?) plotline. However, I only made it through about 2/3s of the game before I got stuck at some puzzle I think and gave up. I heard the plot gets wacky towards the end, but I'll probably watch a YouTube video to finish it up. Back in the day games like this were quite a novelty because they allowed visionaries and developers the ability to tell a compelling story through the video game medium. Then Telltale started coming out with shit and visual novels became big and Quantic Dream continued to release games. I don't ever see their games ranked so highly anymore. I wonder if maybe David Cage should stick to releasing his stories as live action TV shows. Hell, he could have found a way to connect Heavy Rain and Indigo Prophecy to one world and make them each into one season. Netflix would eat that shit up. 72. Horizon: Zero Dawn Original Release: 2017 Developer: Guerrilla Platform: PS4 Another controversial pick! I actually never see much negativity about this game. Part of the reason I ranked it so low is because I went into it immediately after finishing up with The Witcher 3, so you could say I was a little burned out with open world. That said, HZD's open world is breathtakingly beautiful and vastly detailed. It's not that fun to explore, from my experience with it, at least. I haven't picked the game back up after quitting out of frustration, but maybe I will someday. There's a steep learning curve to actually be able to take down the hulking machines, and more often than not you'll get killed. In order to actually survive you'll need to master the weird tools you can buy or find throughout the game, but to be honest I'd rather whack and shoot and kill the enemy rather than disarm them and trap them and make them trip over wires and shit. The game also relies on launching projectiles which is an incredibly annoying mechanic in any third person open world game that doesn't typically involve guns or bows as a primary weapon. Worse yet, there are tons of materials and items and herbs you can gather and find throughout but you can only carry 20 items! Keep in mind that you need these materials to be able to trade them for new equipment and upgrade your gear, tools, etc. For the record, you can carry literally hundreds of things in TW3 before you reach the weight limit, and here you're strictly limited. This forces extra inventory micromanagement on you which is never fun. I'm not sure if the item limit ever increases, but it's sure as hell annoying. <cite>Haunter12O posted [p:898687665] in Haunter ra...
