It Can't Be For Nothing

So here we are on Wednesday waiting to see what list I will be doing today. If you read the last Ask Gauss you would have known that it is going to be all about Sequels which should happen today. I figured instead of just giving my go ahead on one might as well make it a list so here it goes.

5. Shenmue

Fans of the Shenmue series have been waiting for the 3rd installment of the game for pretty much ever. The games themselves were built to be sellers of the Dreamcast and were incredibly expense to produce. With all of that said I would love to see the 3rd game, but this is really in the never going to happen territory

4. Heavenly Sword

This is one that actually bothers me. They have the stories for 2 sequels. Yes you heard me right. They have stated this publicly many times. I have a feeling it has to do with it being an exclusive only title, but then again look now at the success of single platform games.

3. Assassin's Creed IV

So we are following Edward and we see Haythem at the end in the theater and we are still left wondering why did he forsaken everything and become a templar? Yes why did he!

2. Legend of the Dragoon

Here is a game where we thought we were going to get a sequel. Production was said to be started and then we never heard anything again. This game has a huge following and I would definitely be there day 1 if it was happening.

1. The Last of Us

This is arguably one of the great games of all time. The ending although it worked for the situation does leave questions you would like answers too. I do believe we will see a sequel will just have to wait for it.

There it is my list for the week. Hope we are all on the same page. Is there another game you think deserves a sequel? Let me know one way or another.

So, She Collects Knives

Here we are smack dab in the middle of the week once again. Sitting around thinking it was just the weekend the other day and then wondering why the weekend isn't here yet. Of the confusion the middle of the week brings us. Now you may of heard and hopefully did not forget but yesterday was the official last day the Auction House had anything to do with Diablo III anymore. Basically yesterday was the last day you could take things out of your completed tab without them being lost forever. Now the auction houses didn't work out the way they were intending which happens quite a bit in gaming terms. So with that in mind that's where this week's list comes in!

5. Diablo III Auction Houses

Since this is what brought on the topic it should probably make the list no? The Auction Houses were put into Diablo to provide a way for players to trade their gear in a more efficient manner and the option to spend real money through a trusted provided and not go to third party sites. The idea was great and they worked as intended. The problem? The loot of the game had to adapt since there was easy access to upgrades. Drops ended up for the most part being terrible and 95% of your upgrades were bought through the auction house.

4. SimCity Region Play

Maxis tried something different. Instead of the massive cities we were used to building you were tasked with building a region where all the cities were connected. It was a nice touch and it worked, but then there was never the option to build the massive cities you were used to. They have attempted to please the fans but due to graphic limitations of older machines they have not attempted to increase the individual building size for specific cities.

3. Diablo III World Wide Launch

So in theory this was a great plan. Everyone in the world would get the chance to play one of the most anticipated games in history when the servers went live all at the same time 12am PST. The problem? There was so much server traffic no one could get on... Error 37 where were you?

2. Shemue console choice

One of the most expensive games ever created and a game which delivered on every promise it ever made. It is also known as a the best game that hardly anyone got to play. Why? Well it was released on the Dreamcast.

1. Sixaxis Lair Controls

Lair was supposed to be the gateway to the power of the PS3. It had everything you could want in a game. Except the controller it was supposed to showcase caused for horrible controls which made the game near unplayable and maybe one of the most frustrating experiences in gaming one could ever have.

And there is this week's list. Do you have any thoughts? Something to add? Well you know what to do.
