Fumito Ueda is my favorite! I never doubted buying PS3 just because I knew it will be home for his next game.
He's my idol! One of the finest that humanity ever had IMHO. Along with Isaac Asimov, Douglas Adams, Fila Brazillia, Bent, Beethoven, Imhotep, Iktinos, Kallikrates, Tolkien, Hesse....and many others actually! :D
PS3 bashing is beginning to backfire. It was really too much and it lasts for far too long already. Since they announced the price, actually.
Maybe MS is paying for it, maybe not. For all we know they have unlimited funds and they're still not making any money in this business (if you can call that a business) which is truly disgusting and shows that they're not into it for money but for the sole purpose to crush Sony. And when they do, what then? Will they even bother to make ...
btw, seen wii today in the store while I was looking what games they had for PS3. Me and my friend just stood there, looking at it...and I really wished to buy it, but the price is just too high for me! I can't dish out that amount of money for something that technically doesn't deserve its price.
It does have an innovative way to controll it, but I doubt they paid a guy who got the idea of the wiimote something like billions and billions...
some people prefer seeing a main character. If a character is well designed and animated, it can help drive the story. You feel the emotional bond and get to know about the hero by the way he moves, acts, whether it's a male or a female...etc.
You can still feel the immersion through empathy, like in movies or theater.
I like both. Actually I like 3rd person only when a character is really well designed (behaviourwise as well as visualwise)
Do you think it's ok? A fair game? What could be the final outcome of that strategy? Do you have an idea how bad a monopoly can be?
I have. In my country, many companies have a monopoly. For an example, the Internet provider has a monopoly. So I'm paying 30Euros for a "broadband" connection 512kbps download, 64kbps upload. And it is an unstable connection. But you have no choice unless you want to go back to...
Takumi, I thought I'd never ever ignore anyone. I just think that ignoring is not the way to go. But you're the first. I had to click ignore because of your CAPS problem. I can't stand looking at it. Sorry.
Actually I'm not that competent to answer your question since I've never played Halo2 online. But not anything I've heard and seen about that game did make me want to play it. Maybe I'm just that type of guy.
Mass Effect, on the other hand, I really envy you guys. I'd buy X360 for that game alone, if only I could ever be able to forgive myself on giving any money to Microsoft. I just hope it comes to PC so I can play the pirated copy on my pirated Windows :) I'll just send some...
