5 Games That Don't Need A Sequel

Some games are so good they don't need a new way to tell their story.

Here's 5 games that don't need a sequel.

5. Minecraft

Minecraft is an open world game where you don't have a story, so why make a second one? Instead Mojang have been updating it for 7 years now (even after the Microsoft takeover).


4. Bully

Bully, the playground equivalent of gta. Why doesn't this need a sequel you may ask? It's a fan favorite and alot of work would have to go into the sequel to make it as good as the original, it's almost impossible.


3. Mandagon

Mandagon was an odd game, you can check out the review on this blog to see what I mean. This game didn't make sense which is why it never needs to.



2. Garry's Mod

Over the years Gmod has been built off player mods allowing replayability. If players keep making these mods at the rate they are now, we may never see the end of gmod, let alone a sequel.


1. No Man's Sky 

The endless space exploration game is officially announced to be continuously worked on for a long time meaning that Hello Games aren't planning on ditching the game anytime soon.

Did we miss out any other games? post in the comments below which you think don't need a sequel.

No Man's Sky Day 1 Patch Eliminates Every Complaint Everyone Had About The Game

We all know No Man's Sky is the best game of this year ;) but it looks like it just got better...

Fans have been praying for a day one patch since the leaks due to the amount of bugs in the game however we didn't get any word until yesterday.

The 1.0.3 patch adds a heap of new content from reworked combat to more varied rooms in the space ports. It also adds a deeper trading system and reworks the 700 upgrades so you can't finish the game in 30 hours.

You can read all the patch notes here

No Man's Sky Release Date Broken, Streams Appear Everywhere On The Internet

All hell has broken loose with unamed retailers breaking the release date of No Man's Sky, one of the most anticipated games of this year.

With Sean Murray having a mental breakdown on twitter Sony carry on to try their best to sort out the aftermath. Review websites like Kotaku and Polygon have bought copies from the retailers and started to post their impressions on them.

Here at CPGN we respect the amount of hard work Hello Games have put into No Man's Sky and will not be taking part in showing leaked gameplay.

Just Cause 3 Review

I Remember You From Panau! 

Just Cause 3, the latest in the Just Cause series and the successor to 
one of the 3 games that I can play for hours on end.

The way i'll do this review is by splitting it up into 3 sections:

Story

Gameplay

Other Features

I've played 63 hours of Just Cause 3 (50 hours is the minimum for a review).

Story

The story takes place on the island of Medici, a fictional island off the coast of Italy (this 
is also Rico, the main characters hometown). He returns after leaving the agency which he just completed a contract in Panau. He finds that the rebels are planning to overthrow the dictator Di Ravello and he must help them. Simple right? While the story makes sense it doesn't play a big part in the game and can easily be completed in 5 hours (without doing any other side missions). For this i give the story 6/10 for not being important but providing a backstory for the game.





Gameplay

Let's start with the shooting mechanics. Throughout the game you will unlock guns, guns of all sizes. SMGS ,Rocket Launchers, Pistols, Rifles you name it, this game has it (apart from laser weapons). The shooting can sometimes feel clunky as I felt I wasn't shooting but more punching. Of course there are no weapon attachments but there have never been in any of the 3 games.



Next up is the driving. This is where the game stands out. Compared the previous games where vehicles were hard to control and blew up easily Just Cause 3 had driving as good as a racing game and durability like GTA V. The flying feels fresh and I'll cover the amazing Cargo Plane in the other features.


The rebel drop acts as the new black market. Here you can order weapons and vehicles such as the UPU-210 or the Nashorn. when you order an item it takes up a beacon (which can be found when doing encounters or liberated settlements) and on top of that you have to wait for a certain amount of time (normally 30 minutes).

The final mechanic is the grappling hook/wingsuit/parachute. Rico has the ability to deploy a parachute (which is a standard in every Just Cause) however he also has the option to deploy a wingsuit which acts a plane (kind of) you can also do a backflip in midair with it.

Instead of 1 tether you can now unlock up to 6 tethers in the new 'challenges'.

These reward you with gears which are used to unlock upgrades such as more grenades or gain features like being able to shoot while reeling in. 



I would rate the gameplay 8/10 for good driving but clunky shooting and wide range of weapons and vehicles but having to wait for a cooldown (which can be removed eventually 


Other Features

This is what makes Just Cause 3, Just Cause 3. I'll start with the encounters.

Encounters are random events around the map such as towing a broken car to a garage or hijacking a convoy with kidnapped rebels. These events helps give a reason to go driving around the map.

The blue icon on the left indicates an encounter.


Next up is the easter eggs. There are too many easter eggs. I'll give you a few of them:

The black/blue dress 
Giant Rideable rubber ducky 
Soapbox
Doctor Who weeping angels
Pogo stick
Big head gun

and many more!

Finally the cargo plane.

The cargo plane is the greatest plane known to man.

You can go inside and store whatever you can fit (a tank for example) and fly into the air and launch the tank from the air. This is what GTA V needs.

I'm giving this category a 10/10 for superb open world features and plenty of easter eggs.

Overall

6/10
8/10
10/10

= 24/30 

A good game but needs better shooting mechanics
