Nostalgic games i reinstalled /purchased (1 Viewer)

[Lustmord]

Just repurchased or reinstalled a bunch of older xbox and 360 games to see how they held up. I loved these games originally and wanted to see how they are years later

I got The May payne trilogy, The Darkness 1 and 2, Darksiders, dantes inferno, Bayonetta, AvP, Condemned:criminal origins, panzer dragoon orta and Deus EX ; Human revolution. Asuraa Wrath

Ill update as I play with thoughts or grab more older games



I played the heck out of dantes inferno many times and it still holds up as a top-notch god of war knock off. it never gets old and every time I reinstall it I love it

Asuras Wrath- bonker batton mashing god killing insanity on par with what I remember Bayonetta to be. but gets a bit repetitive at the end

Max Payne- haven't played since it came out. its held up fairly well, and obviously, bullet time was a game changer. the film noir is excellent, and the gun play is still fun. However, the maze/dream levels and maddeningly brutal

The Darkness was such a good game

The Darkness was such a good game

Im playing now its help up quite well

Deus Ex was also pretty awesome....shame we won't see anymore of that game

The Darkness. Man this has held up REALLY well. I wish there was a remaster or redo. The concept is great ( if the comic was a semi Venom rip off), and Mike Patton is just brilliant as the voice of the darkness. The combat is solid and the graphics are good for its time. and I completely forgot about the WW1 levels.

Old Xbox game update.
The darkness 2. Holy hell.
I have no recollection of playing this when it came out. But man did I enjoy it.
Wasn't sold on the look (not a cell shading fan, even borderland). But when it picks up and gets going it was one of the more intensely fun games I have played recently.
The story was compelling, even with the weird asylum bits and the final level in Hell. I had an absolute blast with the powers and even the gunplay is solid.
Pity we won't get a part 3.

did you ever play the Soul Reaver games? i think there were 2 of them....PS1 & PS2 era

looks like they are getting remastered

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver remasters may have just leaked out of Comic-Con

The first two Soul Reaver games are coming back, apparently

oof, Deus Ex Human Revolution- a mixed bag

early on its fantastic with the multiple ways to solve problems and the stealth parts being very rewarding

Then late in the game it forces you into a traditional FPS shooter, which kind of sucks if you have built your character into a more stealthy loadout ( which is A REAL problem for the bosses, where you have t play as a shooter- I went into one boss fight with nothing but a stun gun and train rifle).

It also sort of devolves into a 'find a vent to get around folks' game, and the plot starts to meander and repeat.

Dont get me started on the boss fights

Still, fun at times early on

Max Payne 3 is a great game all of them are. I am waiting for the remasters from remedy. I have 1 and 2 and PC I need to get the third I have it on series X. They had it on sale for 5.99 I just forgot to get it is always on sale. They also have some good Max Payne 3 mods.
