[@dowfreak7]

I'll throw in the newest Darksiders. I like the original "trilogy" and I was skeptical about the twin-stick shooter looking arcade game, but it actually is kinda fun. Just a different kind of experience, but not necessarily better or worse for it. Which is kind of a good way to go, if you plan on changing the formula. Fromsoft also has some good tales to tell there. Bloodborne/Sekiro/Elden Ring are all distinctly soulsy, but they also all explore new things, from open world, faster pacing and even something that technically amounts to a rhythm game.

[@BlueKnightV20]

The thing about the Tony Hawk game, is that this was around the time Activision started incorporating peripherals to multiple game series or licenses they owned at the time. For instance, a year after Tony Hawk Ride released, the multiple Cabela's games the next several years; Dangerous Hunts 2011, 2013, African Adventures, etc. All included a peripheral, known as the Fearmaster or something to that extent. Basically this thing would monitor your heart rate to determine how clear your aiming is. It's a cool concept & it worked very well compared to the Tony Hawk peripheral! Plus, it worked in other games, although it's a bit clunky to use for say, a platformer. But in the Cabela's games it was largely optional, and I eventually opted to completely use the controller setup after a bit.

[@VongolaXZax]

Very nice

[@Olkv3D]

The Cabela's shotgun for the the x360 was kinda cool. Tho, the reception of it's input was severely lacking, I'd like to have more like that.

[@zmcginnis66]

I hated that thing cuz my heart rate is higher at rest anyway.. and no when doing wrestling and football it didn't shoot up.. it did raise with activity and adrenaline but not too much higher.. fucking games thought I was terrified so it was like aiming with tremors.. never used it after the first time again

[@Lord_Deimos]

[@custos3249]

@@SheanWalsh46 Not really. It was more to do with longer development cycles and publisher demands for unreal sales numbers leading to generic mass appeal.

[@0071slipknot]

The thing with DMC is that, while the gameplay was fun, it was practically the same gameplay as before but with a shittier story. The biggest reason people hated it is because we went from 1 of the most loved and charismatic protagonists cracking jokes while slaying demons to an angsty teen going through a phase

[@mavvynne444]

That's basically DMC 4 protagonist Nero. But Nero is wayyyy cooler.

[@OhNoTheFace]

@@mavvynne444 Nero is not a shitlord though, just has some issues he is working through. While not just yelling profanities at everyone as "dialogue"

[@notproductiveproductions3504]

Nah, the gameplay is different too. The style meter isn’t that close to the original in DE’s hardcore mode, Dante and Vergil’s play style differences aren’t balanced, there’s no taunt button, it takes weapon switching to use moves that normally all go to the same weapon

[@xenovus8282]

The funny thing about DMC is that they could have called it anything else and changed the character names and it would sold a lot more and been seen as a rather good game (despite the storyline)

[@gaslight0099]

DMC reboots do not exist.

[@CommanderBohn]

I remember well about how people reacted to The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. After games like Interceptor and Enforcer (and X-COM Alliance being canned), X-COM fans were starving over a game that would return to the turn-based roots. When it was finally announced, people raged hard over 2K's choice. In fact the backlash was so hard that the reason Firaxis made the newer XCOM reboot was because of it and 2K wanting to save face.

[@OhNoTheFace]

It was out after the reboot of xcom which is the genre that a lot of people associated the franchise with when they ignored the older games you mentioned. The claim that it wasn't xcom was wrong since xcom is the lore of an alien invasion being fought by a clandestine group not the genre or indeed the game that defined the genre.

[@anubisfox5765]

Its such a good game tho. Really just sad cuz this type of xcom game could easily exist alongside the main series

[@luisfer071]

great idea for a video, you can maybe do changes fans loved, i think for example the changes from MASS EFFECT 1 to MASS EFFECT 2 make a good franchise something great

[@gameranxTV]

[@Konzertheld]

@@gameranxTV @luisfer071 yeah, I'd be curious what games would make that list. Crash Bandicoot 1 to 2 could be on it. Like... it was as fun, but you could save after each level and you did not have to complete levels without dying to get the gems. No idea how I survived the first one lol. (That's the originals, not the remakes). The Crash Bandicoot series could make the "changes fans hated" list, too, obviously, later in the series. And then the "changes fans loved" list again with the newest entry. :D

[@Yoxiv]

Funny story about the origin of "Donte" as a nickname. As someone who visited threads and forums during the production of DmC, I was among the first few people to push the nickname, which was meant to be pronounced like "Don't-te". I can't quite recall if anyone tried to expand on it, I think it was mainly just meant to be an "offbrand" jab at his name, like those goofy images of Link from Zelda where he's drawn funny and called "Lonk" or "Lunk". That does bring me to little fun fact; In Japan, people referred to reboot Dante as "Dino", which stood for "Dante in name only", and this is actually a somewhat common renaming meme in Japan, as I've heard about other characters in media being given similar names like "x in name only", though I can't remember any off hand since it was so long ago when the names Donte and Dino were being pushed around by the DMC fans. On the case of Silent Hill Homecoming, that was one hell of a wacky trip. Tomm Hulett, the self-proclaimed "biggest Silent Hill fan, no exceptions" and effectively the man in charge of the IP after Konami disbanded the original creators, Team Silent, once shared an interesting story in a podcast. According to Tomm, Homecoming was originally the beginning of a trilogy, hence its subtitle, and to feature many previous protagonists returning to the foggy town, such as Heather, James, and Henry. One of the characters, Elle, was originally a grown up Laura from Silent Hill 2, and the story would apparently involve the return of Alessa. That alone was pretty weird, especially for any fans of the series who know about Heather's connection to Alessa (and by extension, Cheryl), but that's not even the weirdest thing. Tomm mentions that the premise was to feature a "Dragon Ball Z style battle" between Alessa, who would wield fire powers, and Joshua, the younger brother of Homecoming's Alex, who would wield water powers. The entire story is so utterly ridiculous that it sounds like it was made up by a troll, but that's really what was originally planned. It's so insane sounding that it actually makes you wonder how that would have turned out had Hulett not intervened when he did. As crazy and stupid as it sounded, it sounds like something that might have turned out amusing if only for utterly ludicrous it was going to be.

[@Dickson_]

Since mainline DMC is back and the 2013 game is now a spinoff, I'd really like to see a DmC: Devil May Cry 2 to keep things fresh before DMC 6.

From what I remember from old interviews, the guys behind Silent Hill Homecoming were forced to use elements from the Silent Hill film. They didn't want Pyramid Head in the game to begin with but their hands were tied. Honestly, I think Homecoming gets too much crap. It's a pretty fun game, with an interesting enough story and a great protagonist - it's always a treat to hear Brian Bloom. He was also amazing as Dragon Age's Varric and Wolfenstein's Blazkowicz.

[@JoobyMcGee]

[@YaBoiBiggJoey]

DMC was the first in the series I ever played, and I rather enjoyed it. The gameplay was solid, the story was actually really good and meta in regards to how America's media and political outlets were concerned, and the soundtrack was absolutely immaculate. I'll agree that "Donte" wasn't the best kinda character he coulda been, but I still find the opening where the white wig landing on his head and him saying: "not in a million years" was pretty funny. That tongue-in-cheek kinda stuff gets me lol

I always find myself being weirded out with judgements controls and having to readjust whenever I replay the entire trilogy but I still really liked playing as Baird and his Kilo squad.

[@dowfreak7]

The dmc controversy was the biggest joke to me. I played that game before I (attempted) the original trilogy and enjoyed half of 4. But everything people complained about in dmc, I expected to NOT be in the older games and it just wasn't the case. The old story is just as fucking wacky and over-the-top stupid. Which is completely fine, just don't act like DMC is weird for the same reasons that you relish in the old games. The only thing I can see from super sweaty hardcore nerds is that the combat is a bit easier to execute. Personally I enjoy the "switching system" in DMC a LOT more than the stupid style swapping to cram more button inputs into Dante or the "perfect" execution required to make Nero gameplay more fun. You get Nero's pull, but also get to grapple yourself, weapons are just as fun and creative, have some good impact and individuality and the gameplay flows super nicely, even with the gimmick colored enemies. Which is an insane feat, because something like that can literally break a game.

I actually really liked The Bureau. Yeah is just a cover shooter, but it has a pause mode to give skill and positioning orders to your squad. And your personal skill tree is very support oriented. So it ends up still feeling like a strategy game. And there is a decent variety of aliens too, a lot from the better known xcom games, but some originals like the goo things are there too. The base building was gutted, but you still recruited and leveled guys and had to research new tech. The story even took an interesting turn for the end. Overall I had a great time. I think you just need to play it for a bit before it shows its full potential.

I never really thought of it as 'not' a spinoff, even in lieu of a new platformer entry. I often find it baffling that for some franchises, creating a spinoff game gets treated as an 'unwarranted change in direction for the entire series', even when there's nothing stopping them from just picking up where they left off later (Look at Devil May Cry). Mario constantly takes vacations from the normal course of main Mario games to drive and play sports and even engage in tactical shooter combat and nobody really bats an eye, yet somehow the concept of a similar character doing the same thing doesn't occur to people.

[@vinnoxgaming5358]

You guys should do a Top 10 game series or games that deserve sequels, for instance, Twisted Metal, The Force Unleashed, The Legend of the Dragoon, Stat Wars Racer,

[@cmike123]

I agree, but both Twisted Metal and Force Unleashed do have sequels.

[@thegameplayer125]

a bit surprising capcom making re 5 and 6 purely action based and having nothing survival horror didn't make the list. they were basically everything re wasn't supposed to be

The sad thing is that DmC is a good game, despite spitting on the fans.

[@keeganlafferty1395]

I actually enjoyed The Bureau: Xcom Declassified, my only gripe was the linearity to its missions/story and the lack of Xcom's iconic base building, otherwise I like how they worked the Xcom tactics into a shooter game and I feel it's something they need to do again but this time retaining the base builder and procedurally generated missions

[@Mintcar923]

I just got it recently and although I kinda suck so far I really like it.. I was thinking the same thing for them to remake it and make it even better..

[@omari6108]

3rd Birthday was awesome though! Gameplay was super solid for an on the go game. It had enough mechanics to switch gameplay up for it to not be boring. I didn’t care too much for the story, but it was fun to play.

[@Surokkh]

The one saving grace of DmC Devil May Cry was that it gave us EL DONTE - EXTERMIMADOR DEL DEMONIOS, which had a big impact on the memes about the game, even to this day🙌🏻

[@GameEsthetics]

Great list As always gameranx! I hated when they added jet packs and new mechanics to COD Advanced Warfare… Glad they rolled it back with newer titles

[@KillerCornMuffin]

I loved DmC: Devil May Cry and don't care what anyone else thinks. Also, comparing DmC to the rest of the list makes it look even better.

[@Ryu9001]

Capcom gave DMC to ninja theory not team ninja

[@hansethetooly5421]

fave reasons ive seen for not being allowed to use previous games upgrades was "the lab hasnt reverse engineers that one yet, youll get t when they are one" PE3 body jack reminded me of Mindjacks/mindstorm body control gimmick where 3rd party players could take over them and help or hinder you your runs.

[@nicememes7570]

I beat DMC Hell or Hell difficulty, and I gotta say, it's actually a great reboot and I hope I get a sequel because I loved the writing on the wall system and the Virgil of the game (and Kat should get more character)

[@anubisfox5765]

The beureu was fire lol i still have it on my series x, but it is absolutely an xcom game. You work for and build up xcom as a group and even sort of leads into the firaxis xcom games. You even use semi paused time order giving like the turn based xcom stuff. People just really didnt give it a chance but its as an xcom fan one of the best in the series

[@immortalfrieza]

#8 The worst thing about Declassified is that a squad based third person shooter is a logical deviation from the original XCOM games... except that it has basically nothing in common with the rest of the series in gameplay or story. It has a set protagonist with a predefined backstory and personality, you just pick up equipment during missions instead of having to research them, there isn't a notable difference between the stuff you start with and the stuff you pick up to use later on, there isn't downing UFOs with your own fighter craft and everything that goes with that, or any fighter craft at all... One of the things that made XCOM appealing was that you were the underdog. You are fighting against a vastly technologically superior foe, so you have to take what you can get from them and use that to improve your own equipment and vehicles so that you can beat them more easily. By the end of the game you're not only on their level, but you're superior to them. You don't get that impression with Declassified. It's a real shame too, they could've made things pretty interesting had they put in real effort into Declassified and games like it, but we'll probably never see any games like it in the series again due to how half assed this game was.

[@mattballin13]

One thing that really ruins games is when developers make changes that no one asked for or when they refuse to revert bad changes. This applies to a lot of sequels, but it's really prevalent in F2P and continuously updated games. Like the game Dirty Bomb on PC. It died for multiple reasons, but mainly removing things or making changes that no one asked for and then refusing to revert any changes. It's so sad some of my favorite games were killed this way.

[@warfidem3]

DMC was developed by Ninja Theory not Team Ninja

[@shenloken2]

Honorable mention goes to Metal Gear Solid. When Sons of Liberty came out most fans were against playing as Raiden over Solid Snake. But time has passed, people realize what an excellent game Sons of Liberty was and got over it. And whatever changes made to the series since most fans were cool with…… Until Metal Gear Survive!! xx

[@OhNoTheFace]

We all still understand that Raiden was Kojima having a baby fit people did not "understand" his last game. It was still fantastic, but it is clear he was malding at the time. Or they would not have hidden Raiden from all demos and trailers

[@yamigekusu]

I really liked Other M. It reminded me of all those cheese sci-fi movies I would watch with my dad all the time. I thought of it like that. It was cheese, and fun (far from the best game out there, but I enjoyed it)

As someone who had never played a Banjo-Kazooie game before Nuts & Bolts, even as a stand alone game for me, was infuriating. The most efficient and useful vehicles you have to build entirely out of engines or it becomes too big. Like everything you make is either ugly or useless.

[@tfsoul6384]

I actually loved Silent Hill Homecoming. I can see where OG fans wouldn’t have liked it, but it was pretty cool to me. To each his own.

my first Devil May Cry was the reboot and trust me guys if it was ur first u r were goin to like it so much like soooooo much

[@vinnoxgaming5358]

I consider myself weird because I actually really like Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, granted I did not play the previous Banjo games, but N&B is probably in my personal top 10 favorite games of all time, I think its really fun while getting to be really creative with the way the vehicles can be designed.

[@writerlairchannel2636]

Agree

[@Fraxzor]

Thanks for aiming criticism at the companies rather than the fans. There's a certain other gaming channel that will say it's all the fans fault. The fans are the ones buying the content so if you want them to continue buying then their opinions should matter. Some of these could have been original IPs and done well, but piggybacking off a series just to get their fans does the exact opposite of what these companies think it does.

That franchise had no right to turn crappy. It was so easy for them to just nail it again but they push too many cheap gimmicks that ruined it and then they put no effort in 5 it was just a cash in because they got the series back. A new Tony hawk pro skater 4 would've been made similar to 1+2 but Activision screwed that up and killed it from happening
