That's what happens.

And I'm sure they won't. Here's my interpretation of what you just said:

"Well, Journey is one fine game, but why did they go and make it so unique? You pushed my buttons on that, Thatgamecompany! You cursed non-conformists. Now, if someone makes Journey 2 I might be on board. With shooting, realistic weapons and a new Dante. Because my motto is, if you switch the leaderboards for beautiful paintings, it's not a game at all."

That...

Yup. The generic cars were a let down, for sure.
But the game did look gorgeous at times. Give me some of that Amuse s2000.... oh yeah. MMMmmmmm....

No, but the premium cars do look good.

This is one weird franchise. Especially the first game is one of the strangest games I've played. Voice acting is mediocre, and the cut-scenes are horrible, but somehow it still absolutely captures you.

Voice acting is very good in the second game, so I hope that's what the review is aiming at.

Definitely agree, but there will always be the people who say that in order to be art it has to be only art. With no focus on entertainment or profit.

Seems like bs to me, given that it's difficult to even determine what is entertainment and what is art. And it is very hard to argue that profit can't at least be a second motivation. I'm sure ThatGameCompany want to make a living, and so does Sony, but that doesn't really change Journey as a beautiful experien...

In fairness, GT5 looked gorgeous 5 years before launch :P
Jk

I know. I was comparing numbers to reject your position that every game Nintendo releases are completely different from the previous one. They are not. The diference between Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time is pretty big, but so is the difference between Uncharted 1 and 2. Ultimately it's the same concept.

The new super Mario Bros is NOT the first time, not even close, they haven't made radical differences. It's not even the first Super Mar...

Well, they won't. Other than conservative DmC fans and people immediately got thrown away by Dante, reviewers are really gonna like this game. Probably land between 75 and 85 on Metacritic.

Make that pretty much everything Sony does. These days. Even though people seem to have gotten to know Uncharted.

Yeah, this could almost have been a list of the best trophies to have in your collection. For starters, I'm pretty sure Play is a gold trophy. Though they say it's silver. Also one of my proudest trophies :3

And if I could choose one trophy I'd take Beat Zico. The really cool thing about it, is that you need to use even tilting perfectly to get it right... or you could just look up different techniques on YouTube. And Late Boomer I also have! And it's awesome!...

Most obscure list ever. Let's talk when they're announced, not when they're mentioned.

@LilbroRx
Only two of the PixelJunk games are actually similar. You wouldn't count Mario Kart and Mario Party together, would you?
Another reason they have franchises with more games is because of focus on continued narratives. And they do actually have bigger variation in terms of franchise. Which does say something. You do mention that Nintendo varies the...

I hear you, as you don't save that much money on consoles if you want a full set-up. But to be fair, I've had my 360 since 2007. If I were to pay for a PC in 2007 that was still as relevant as the 360 is today, that would probably have cost me quite the fortune. And you still get beautiful games like Forza Horizon on 360 (perhaps even more so on PS3). Of course I need a PC on the side, but I have a lap top, which can't be 100% a gaming device because I need it for studies, work an...

I partly agree with longer intro sequences. More should have happened before the empress got killed. It was predictable and uninteresting, because she felt like a completely disposable character. If they had spent some time building her personality, maybe it wouldn't. But then again, I'm not sure what they would have had before that.

Sure is. In fact, according to my calculations that's more than 400.000 copies sold!
Not as much as 500.000 though.

Sure, but fewer at a time, and of higher quality. And an actual Pokémon God! Who created the world, evolved into our saviour and got caught for our sins! Oh, could you imagine such a world?

I just wanted to bring some christmas warmth to my PS3. This warning needs to be on the actual PS3, so I didn't forget this next time. I also need to be reminded that Dualshock is affected by Newton's laws of motion, so that I don't forget and throw them on the wall. Or leave them in mid-air.

Nice. Good to get a review for a game released before the fall of the roman empire.

In fact, I spoke with a meteorologist and he asked that you stopped blaming clouds.
