DmC Definitive Edition Cuts Sexually Suggestive Dialogue

Added: 09.03.2015 22:00 | 18 views | 0 comments




The upcoming remaster of DmC Devil May Cry is rated M for mature just like the original game, but the new version includes a small change in dialogue spotted by Eurogamer.

An early cutscene between Mundus and his demon mistress Lilith details the villain's plans to control society. The following exchange takes place, and the highlighted part is removed in the Definitive Edition.
Mundus: "I will control the world through debt. I have absolute power."
Lilith: "The world is at last your bitch, as am I. Nothing left but to grab it by the hair, bend it over and -"
Mundus: *grunt*
Lilith: "What's the matter? Wait - what's the matter?"
It seems like a curious omission considering the rest of the content in the game, but Ninja Theory Creative Director Tameem Antoniades clarified that the decision has nothing to do with censorship.

Top 7... Hardest hard modes in gaming

Added: 09.03.2015 18:23 | 27 views | 0 comments


Some people like to argue games today are too easy, and that we've forgotten what it means for something to be 'Nintendo hard'. I don't think that's true. The difficulty is still there, but only for those who seek it out. As games seek to reach a wider and wider audience, they have become more flexible. Load up a random, modern game and chances are you'll be asked to pick a difficulty ranging from easy to hard to groin-shot-nightmare-extravaganza. Most people don't pick that last one.

Some of these insane difficulty modes are unlocked straight away, while others are only awarded after you've finished the game on a lesser mode. However you get them, these are the hardest of the hard, capable of transforming otherwise enjoyable games into masochistic exercises of personal torment. They're not for the faint of heart, but they'll fetch you some hefty bragging rights should you persevere.

XCOM is one of those games where everything can go wrong without a moment's notice. One turn you're silently sneaking between the trees, searching for a crashed UFO. And then BAM! you're neck-deep in Floaters who are flying all over the place handing out grenades like party favors while a couple of Sectoids roll up and hit your flank. And it's around now that Rookie Redshirt panics and hunkers down right in the middle of the chaos. Why would you think that's a good idea!?

Playing on impossible difficulty basically raises the stakes for every decision up to 11. Rewards are smaller, costs are greater, and every decision you make has far-reaching consequences. If you're not on top of your game from day one - complete with an overall strategy in mind that'll carry you through to the final mission - things can and will unravel very quickly. As the game's Wiki so helpfully notes, "...every funding nation can be lost during the first month, depending on alien activity and the efficiency of XCOM's response." This might be the speediest response from the international community to any issue in this history of forever.

Playing Metro: 2033 Redux on the Ranger difficulty means you and your knife are going to be close friends. This mode attempts to make the game more realistic - or about as 'realistic' as you'd want a post-nuclear-apocalyptic Russian horror game to be - by removing several modern conveniences. An abundance of health? Gone. A decent supply of ammo? Gone. Literally the entire HUD and all the valuable information contained therein? It's outta' here, baby, and this is just Ranger Easy mode.

Ranger Hardcore ups the ante even further by making you less of a survivor and more of a - shall we say - dead man walking. You are extremely fragile, which means engaging enemies using stealth is basically your only shot at survival. And you can forget about ever having a reasonable supply of ammo. Enemies will fall to one or two gunshots, sure, but if you end up actually using your gun it had better be because the person (or horrible monster) on the other end inflicted some sort of deep, personal offense upon you.

Fire Emblem is already a tough-as-nails series. When your characters die, they're gone forever; weapons degrade over time, especially the good ones, and stat bonuses are doled out randomly when you level up. Fire Emblem: Awakening lets you mitigate - or enhance - these challenges through various difficulty options, the toughest of which is Lunatic+. This mode packs the same crippling difficulty of Lunatic, but with an added twist found only in this mode.

As it turns out, that "+" stands for a grab bag of brand-new, enemy-exclusive abilities that are randomly assigned to grunts and bosses alike. These include Luna+ (all attacks halve your defense), Pavise+ (all your attacks deal half damage), and several others. Early on, this can make fights flat-out impossible, forcing you to constantly reload the same battle over and over in the hopes you get a more favorable distribution of skills on the enemy team. Don't expect Frederick to bail you out of this one.

F-Zero GX is one of the unsung greats from the Nintendo GameCube. It offers an incredible sense of speed on par with the best in the racing genre while keeping the F-Zero basics of vehicular combat and track memorization intact. It's an edge-of-your-seat racer that demands a lot of its players, and is easily one of the most challenging racing games ever created.

This game gives you very little, and demands everything in return. Learning the layouts of each track is required. Learning the nuances of each racer is required. Practicing races over and over again is RE-FREAKING-QUIRED. It's not for everyone - which is surprising for a Nintendo release - but putting the time in will reward you with a genuine challenge that feels difficult because it's actually taxing your skills as a player, not because it's hitting you with blue shells moments before you cross the finish line.

Video games often make complicated tasks look easy, whether it's piloting a spaceship or simply firing a gun. The Guitar Hero series does this as well, simplifying the strumming of a guitar down to a few colorful buttons and a plastic switch. That is, until you round the bend with Legends of Rock on expert mode. All of a sudden, playing a pretend guitar becomes, arguably, more difficult than playing the same song on an actual guitar.

When you watch someone play a song like The Devil Went Down To Georgia on expert it looks like a friggin' Lite-Brite threw up all over the screen. There are so many colorful little circles flying all over the place you basically need to have the song memorized. If you try and keep up running on instinct alone the quick tempo will leave you in the dust. Oh, and just in case expert isn't tough enough, turn on "precision mode", which makes the window for hitting a note even tighter. The only things getting shredded here are your fingers.

Grenades. Grenades everywhere. Call of Duty: World at War, when played on Veteran difficulty, presents a fantastical version of World War II in which every soldier was given a dozen grenades per mission and expected to use them all, at risk of court martial. And every one of them is going to land right at your feet at the most inopportune time which is basically ALL the time because this game is crazy hard.

You want to talk about making meaningful choices in video games: how about choosing between getting blown up by a grenade or being cut down by machine gun fire? It's meaningful because it's the only choice you ever get to make and both options are wrong. You spend more time running away from the fight, in an attempt to avoid all the grenades, than you do breaching doors and doing the standard Call of Duty stuff. But then the game just spawns more dudes in your absence, creating a vicious cycle where you're constantly fighting without making any real progress. And then a grenade kills you.

Ninja Gaiden has built a dynasty upon the broken controllers and mournful cries of its followers. Dating back to 1988 with Ninja Gaiden on the Nintendo Entertainment System, this series has been renowned for its brutal difficulty that really puts the screws to you as soon as you press start. Master Ninja mode in Ninja Gaiden 2 is by far one of the series' greatest challenges, without relying on cheap tricks. It's simply a fast-paced game that demands players use the entirety of Ryu Hayabusa's arsenal, make snap judgements, and watch out for exploding turtles.

To give this some context, most action games - such as God of War or Devil May Cry - get "solved" within a few months to a year of their release. This means someone has posted a video of them beating the game with "100% completion, no damage, one arm tied behind their back!!" Ninja Gaiden 2 has one of these , the only difference being it took the internet SIX YEARS to pull it off. This is especially surprising given that there hasn't been another good Ninja Gaiden game released in that time to distract diehards.

So there you have it, the hardest hard modes in gaming. How many of these bad boys have you bested over the years? Are there any that you think were even harder? Tell your story in the comments, and share your victories and defeats with fellow readers.

15 Most Badass Swords in Video Game History

Added: 09.03.2015 7:49 | 2 views | 0 comments


1. Keyblade - Kingdom Hearts



Sora's weapon of choice in Disney's Kingdom Hearts franchise. The Keyblade serves two functions: the sword delivers massive damage and--bonus!--opens doors to different Disney worlds.


2. Lightsaber - Pretty Much Any Star Wars Game



No sword collection is complete without the Jedi Knight's tool for battle, the lightsaber. Powered by rare crystals, the laser sword uses a beam of energy to slice through...anything, pretty much.


3. Soul Edge - SoulCalibur



Use the Soul Edge at your own risk. SoulCalibur's incredibly powerful sword has its own soul and can transform depending on who wields the weapon.


4. Blades of Chaos - God of War



Created in the depths of Hades, Kratos' blades are bound to him after pledging his allegiance to Ares, the God of War. Kratos was able to use these lethal blades to eviscerate enemies from a distance or at arm's length.


5. Energy Sword - Halo 2



Playing Halo multiplayer with your friends is all fun and games until you see your enemy wielding this beast. The Energy Sword is by far one of the most deadly weapons in the franchise's storied history.


6. High-Frequency Blade - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty



The HF Blade isn't playable until the end of Metal Gear Solid 2, but Raiden's sword ability is upper echelon as he fights his way through the Big Shell.


7. Rebellion - Devil May Cry



Dante, the hero from Devil May Cry, was impaled by the Rebellion sword in the third entry into the series. But being stabbed by a powerful sword actually helped Dante, giving him the ability to tap into his Devil Trigger.


8. Buster Sword - Final Fantasy VII



Arguably the best game in the Final Fantasy franchise has to have the best sword, right? Right. Who would've thought that someone named after the clouds could carry a sword that looks bigger than his body.


9. Raiden's Katana - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots



In the jump from Metal Gear Solid 2 to Metal Gear Solid 4, Raiden becomes a complete badass. And a big thanks to that is due to Raiden's Katana, which cuts through Metal Gear's like a knife through warm butter.


10. Time Dagger - Prince of Persia



Not only does the Prince of Persia's dagger destroy enemies, but it also holds the power to control time. If only we had such power in real life.


11. Dragon Sword - Ninja Gaiden



The primary weapon used by Ryu, and if you're lucky enough you're able to create the ultimate form, the True Dragon Sword. The True Dragon Sword is one of the most powerful swords in the game.


12. Masamune - Chrono Trigger



You may have heard of the Masamune sword from the Final Fantasy series, but Chrono Trigger on SNES showed the real power of the weapon.


13. Excalibur II - Final Fantasy IX



The Final Fantasy franchise was known for being standalone games, but there is one common theme: Excalibur. In Final Fantasy IX, only Steiner could equip the piece of steel, but it is the most powerful sword in the RPG game.


14. Frostmourne - World of Warcraft



The blade that the Lich King, Ner'Zhul, wielded was destroyed when the new king, Arthas, was defeated. Rumor has it that the Frostmourne was loosely based on King Arthur's Excalibur.


15. Master Sword - Legend of Zelda



Also known by the name the Blade of Evil's Bane, the Master Sword is a recurring legendary weapon in the Zelda franchise. The Master Sword is drawn to heroes who must earn the right to wield it.
