TGH Writes: "merica and Europe last saw Sengoku Basara under a different name back in 2005. That name was called ‘Devil Kings’ which was to please the western attention but, failed to do so. America and Europe also got left in the dust with no release of Sengoku Basara 2. So when Sengoku Basara 3 finally came to next generation console, people were thinking what is going to happen and will western release even see beyond the land of the rising sun. Well, it does under the name Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes and it will be the first Sengoku Basara released for America and Europe. So does Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes fair with western the release or does it fair to appeal like ‘Devil Kings’ did?"
Evan discusses how trophies and achievements can add or take away from value and gaming experiences.
Trophies are always iffy for me. I'd rather gain unlockable weapons and modes from completing a game if I had to choose but very rare that a modern game offers both.
I like trophies, it's kind of a public list of games you've beat the crap out of, I've made a few friends online based on trophies. The reason why trophies and gamerscore are fun is because it's a number that keeps growing, and the trophies set a goal to increase it, it's a game in itself. I wouldn't want no new weapon for beating a Dark Souls game, thank you, give me the plat or at least the trophies for beating all the bosses.
Doom has you pretty much following a guide your entire playthrough for the plat, because there's so many easily missable collectibles that it would take 100+ hours if you wing it versus 20-25 w/ guide but it's a great experience. Some games have you grind for it, have you replay a game several times with only minute differences, I don't call that replay value.
International publishers Udon have confirmed that the official Sengoku Basara graphic novel series will be made available in Europe, beginning with Sengoku Basara: Samurai Legends Volume 1 next month. Based on the videogame franchisee from Capcom, the Sengoku Basara graphic novel series takes real Japanese historical events and figures, and makes them larger-than-life with dynamic character designs and all-out action.
WiiHome: "Play this game for an hour or two and we can guarantee that you'll be desperately seeking something with just a little more depth. There really is nothing to do but hack and slash your way through scores of enemies, and even that killing process isn't exactly refined!"
