20 Games That DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE

[@excess6704]

Thank You Gameranx for highlighting DAYS GONE yet again. I commented even some days back and it truly deserves a sequel and a second chance from SONY. Some people might not like it but I will always be pro-Days Gone. It's really good!!! Thanks once again!

[@Mojaveknight17]

@excess6704 no it won't same with 1886

[@rarecandy1886]

For me after iron Mike it was such a downfall don't even want to reinstall it.

I loved days gone!! I wish they'd make a sequel, it started kind of slow, but once it opened up man was it great.

[@addidaswguy]

EXACTLY.. I don't like horror games, I don't like Zombie games(mostly). Horror games don't scare me, they don't do anything for me.. But running from a horde of FIVE HUNDRED zombies made me feel something that not only do horror games not do for me, but most games don't do it either! The tension was amazing! It felt soo good every single time! And the music they played while you were about to encounter them had me panicked! A lot of the critics just bashed it because it was a badass White Male biker dude being badass, and this was post normal time when being a Man somehow became "bad" to them, and having white characters as the leader characters and mostly white characters in the game is "problematic". Just like how a game set in Chinese Mythology in Black Myth Wukong got bashed by Game Rant for "not having enough diversity or inclusion" because there "aren't any female characters".. In a game about a MONKEY! And there is even a badass female boss too!

[@blakedavis229]

Mercenaries needs a revival. Taking apart bases, calling down airstrikes, and ordering supply drops (tanks, rocket launchers, trucks, ammo etc) and taking down your bounties was just such a good gameplay loop. The other game that absolutely deserves a sequel is Timesplitters - it was hilarious, the minigames were epic, and it was so very good for couch co-op.

[@JohnWhite-dy3hn]

Play the Just Cause series. Similar mechanics with improved movement.

[@blakedavis229]

@JohnWhite-dy3hn good suggestion. I absolutely loved Just Cause 3, but didn't have the same reaction to the 4th entry - if they make another, I'd be excited to give it a try.

[@Great_Watt]

Mercenaries definitely needs a reboot. The 2nd game has it's flaws and bugs, but it's awesome. It's still the only game I've ever played where you can destroy pretty much every building you see. It was so fun to use the fuel air RPG to take down a skyscraper and watch it crumble.

[@Great_Watt]

@@JohnWhite-dy3hn Just Cause just isn't very good, sadly. The 3rd game is OK, but only OK. There's way too much of the map where you're just flying over it and there's absolutely nothing to do or find. And as soon as you've unlocked your wingsuit, etc. at the beginning of the game you can just go to the biggest enemy base and take it down immediately. There's very little challenge. And when you take down enemy bases, the enemy don't try to retaliate or take back some of their lost territory. So the gameplay loop just isn't anywhere near as fun because everything's so easy. Great traversal system with the grapple/wingsuit/parachute, but it's the definition of wasted potential. The 4th Just Cause is one of the worst games I've ever played. Instead of improving on the things that had potential in JC3 they made everything much worse. What's more fun than remote C4 charges you ask? How about balloons? Attaching balloons to stuff is fun, right? No. No it isn't. Just Cause is dead because of that stupid 4th game.

[@JohnWhite-dy3hn]

@blakedavis229 I actually felt the same way. 3 was phenomenal. I honestly don't remember what put me off of the 4th. But with three, the Mercenaries vibe was my jam. As well as the parachute wingsuit grapple combos .

Days Gone not getting a sequel is the biggest piece of bullshit the corps could have pulled on us. Yes, it had a rocky launch, but the fan base is enormous and we've been begging for a second game for years now....

Sleeping Dogs is one of the best "GTA-type" games available. And fun fact for those who don't know (in case it wasn't mentioned in the video): It was originally going to be True Crime: Hong Kong. So if you are/were a fan of the True Crime games, Sleeping Dogs is their masterpiece.

IIRC, one of the biggest problems Burnout had was that modern car manufacturers HATE the idea of their vehicles looking anything less than perfect, so it probably stifled a lot of the dev team's creativity, as they'd have to make generic vehicles.

@@shrek_yourselfin your opinion what is a great game?

[@MasterMafiaDK]

It was by far one of the best zombie games of all time. The only reason why people don't like it is because they can't handle the first few hours of build up but man when you get the twist at the logging camp I felt as stunned as he was in the game

[@Austin-l1j]

@@shrek_yourselfthe game opens up like midway through. You don’t even get to horde events until like 60% of the game. The gameplay, map, main story and atmosphere of the game are done extremely well. Additionally it actually has some decent lore in the world and the voice acting and dialogue are actually done pretty well too. The beginning is boring but that’s really it. No idea what’s “mid” about the game besides the ripper and marauder camps. It even has dynamic events which I doubt you played enough to even know that. The progression of your price of crap bike to a fully kitted out drifter bike is also done extremely well.

[@Austin-l1j]

@@MasterMafiaDKexactly. It’s because it doesn’t have a super TikTok full pedal to the metal opening like something out of horizon 5 they don’t like it. Devs have even said they put the most effort into the opening of the game because that’s what gets the best reviews because people don’t have attention spans. It’s that simple.

I agree that Criterion should make a new Burnout game instead of destroying what is left of Need For Speed

[@8-7-styx94]

One I used to play forever ago was Warzone 2100. There's still an active community and the has been open sourced. But the gameplay was basically an RTS where you design your own tanks/jets. Pick a body, a move type (tracks wheels, hover, etc), and a gun. There were great synergies between things like radars/jammers and artillery. There was massive explosions and lasers and cannons. It was a ton of fun but has been utterly forgotten. Even the campaign was a fairly novel one in a post apocalyptic setting.

Prototype needs a sequel or a remake. A new mod came out that lets you play the old ones on steam properly, haven’t had this much fun in a long time

Enslaved is an excellent game. It had a weird ending, but it's definitely underrated and totally deserving of at least a remaster.

[@valoriehansen1649]

A game that deserves a comeback is Vigilante 8. It was an amazing car shooter game, one of the best sort of battle royale with each car having a special weapon. That was hella fun to play as a kid!

[@richdelaney9500]

One of my favorite underrated games was Midway's hidden gem: Stranglehold. The story, Max Payne-like gameplay (with incredible destruction effects) were top-notch at the time of release. I would love to see someone collaborate with John Woo and Chun Yao Fat again

Hey Gameranx team - great vid! Unreal being the top one is a no-brainer. But that got me thinking and going down the nostalgia isle and I have a suggestion for your next video: top games that deserve a remake. It would be similar to what you presented here, but for those I wouldn't suggest a sequel necessarily, but just a remake for visuals and gameplay (improve the clunky old, but leave the good parts as they were) Games I would include: - Gothic - it's probably coming out soon anyway - Zanzarah - for pokemon fans that want something like that, could do a marketing stunt like Palworld - Severance: Blade of Darkness - a game somewhere between Dark souls and Gothic that could appeal to both audiences - Sid Meier's Pirates! - who needs skull and bones when you can dance in a ballroom to seduce a rich governor's daughter? I'm sure there are many more games with unique gameplay that deserve a remake the same as Tomb Raider or System Shock got. Thanks!

I found it to be a serious effort to stay interested at all in days gone. It was just another open world zombie game, not exactly an original idea, but this time with an incredibly boring main character that I couldn't stop laughing at. This game died for a reason, it's weird how this audience has such delusion about it. It sold like garbage because they presented a dodgy e3 "gameplay" trailer that everyone recognised was bs, then the game came out and surprise surprise the game was buggy as hell. Then the creator went and had a massive freakout about it, basically saying anyone who didn't like his game was an idiot. That dude doesn't "deserve" anything

@@lucasbennett7717 pretty much nailed it, my comment keeps being deleted or reported but the people who praise it so much probably bought it on sale or got it 'free' when the game was running better, I like it but there's not really anything special about it other than the motorbike and the hordes of zombies

Oh man. Red Faction: Guerilla was wonderful. They also had a game mode where you racked up points demolishing as much as possible on a time limit. Oh, and the multiplayer modes were great, too! They let you set up servers with your own preferences. I remember setting up the smallest map - like a small city block of 3-story houses, and limiting the equipment to only sledgehammers + those backpacks that made you able to charge through walls/rocket up/down through ceilings/floors, and so on. And then me and my friends went to town. Quite often we ended up destroying everything, so we were basically running around on the ground with nothing left of the buildings. Those were the days!
