Also, Eurogamer is a pretty shitty reviewer as a whole anyway. They definitely get off on having the most racy and shocking scores for some of the most high profile titles in the industry. ITs how they get their hits and its basically sensationalizing.
8 is NOT a good score and I can tell you why. The world is in a recession. Many gamer's gaming funds are very much so finite. When deciding on which game to buy many are forced to choose between which ones are the best. For Example...
I can only buy maybe 3 full priced games a year. When tallying up all the games I am actually interested in(U3,Batman,Resistance,KZ3,Li ttleBigPlanet2,Infamous2,etc) I have to choose between which is the top 3 BEST!!!! This means many of the...
The Troll-without-Bridge is right, Tabata is the director of Agito/Type-0. The writer is mistaken. Tetsuya Nomura is the lead of Versus tho.
Many of the FF's with the strongest receptions all had Tetsuya on the team full time though. FFVII,FFVIII,FFX, FFXIII(low point but he was also working on many other games such as PSP/DS titles), and FFVersusXIII.
It can't be a coincidence that when there is a high ratio of Nomura, FF is golden...
SE has been one big mess this gen, fumbling every big console release so far. Yet one thing that has been done very RIGHT is the portable games from them. All of them have been stellar. Type-0 is honestly a culmination of everthing they have learned from working on portables. I can see many different game franchises within it.
Battle System: KH BBS, and Crisis Core, hint of 3rd Birthday
Music:Crisis Core, Dissidia
Party Roster: KH 365/2 Days(?)
Story: ...
I am playing this game as we speak and I love it honestly. Does it have some flaws? God YES!!! But for what it does offer it is unmatched. The online is ace and customization is very cool. Very rich and rewarding game in the gameplay department. Its the story that is lacking. The only other gripe i have with WKCII is that it recycles a lot of the old areas from the first instead of making new ones. Hope that changes later on tho.
O yea, I stopped buying games on disc for PSP once I saw the Vita. I currently have Dissidia 012, Valkyria Chronicles II with all DLC(only 13bucks now on PSN SALE!!!), Legends of Heroes:TITS, FFVII,Xenogears,Vagrant Story, etc.
I will have plenty of games to play for Vita even if I don't get a game with it right away. Haven't beaten majority of my PSP games yet ( -_-'). I won't be getting MOD and LBP for PSP tho, will be getting Vita versions for TROPHIES!!!!...
I like the general idea of Ruin but still haven't seen any indepth gameplay of it other than them demonstrating it's conectivity with PS3 for the millionth time lol. That is a cool feature but what does it PLAY like?
mind you I havnt played a Diablo ever and hate Gauntlet Legends series. I do like Xmen Legends series so if it is more in that vain then bring it on.
I think Colin comes off a bit strong in this editorial but that does not stricken the fact he is right on many accounts. Vita is primed for success. It is perfect cross between the modern day tablet or phone with the new age handheld. Its a gamer and technophile's wet dream. The pricing is just right too.
I did a shopping at Gamestop to see what they were selling SD MemCards for. 4GB is 30bucks!!!! By that logic, PSVita's 16gb card should be 120 but its being shown ar...
This is no surprise really. The PSP had memory sticks as well which was needed to save ALL games. At least with Vita its only some. I do hate the fact that they are using yet another proprietary format which makes them more expensive for us and can't be used else where. Yet I know the only reason why they are doing this is due toe the Modding issue that arose from "Magic Memory Sticks" and "Pandora Battery". THats why they will definitely not use open ended memsticks a...
Remember the good ol days before this gen when no one counted framerates or gave a shit about slight screen tearing(unless it completely paused the game)? Ah, the good days of gaming where we didn't grade them by the pixels but for the experience they offered.
Anyway, isn't this the same guy who said the 360 was what was holding back Rage earlier on due to disc constraints while the PS3 and PC were both doing great? Weren't there just multiple indie devs saying ho...
I have not heard of one game that charges you on day one for online pass(after buying new). The pass is strictly for those who got it second hand because the original owner prob used the code already.
I think you are mistaken.
looking forward to NiNoKuni as well as Yukai Watch. It looks like it will be on PS3.
FFVII is much more deserving (and in need of) a sequel of some sort. The story of FFX was beautiful and sweet and and ended where it needed to. FFVII on the other hand still has many questions still unanswered even after the Advent Children. Main story I want answered is where does Jenova come from and are their more of her? When we left off we knew that Jenova was a calamity from the sky that crashed via meteor onto earth. Knowing what she is capable of, it would be really interesting to get...
Cartridge games didnt cost anywhere near 60 bones.
PS1 was 40
PS2 was 50
now its 60
The real difference from then to now tho is that the price hikes were understandable with what you were getting. Now tho the average game takes several years to come out, only to last you 6hrs of real playtime + some thrown in online(if ur lucky).
my point was that game prices need to go back down but ppl need to stop buying used games.
@GrandCLover
Yes you have the right to do what u will with your hard earned cash. If you want to sell a game u just spent 60 bucks on brand new, that IS your prerogative. Yet why should someone who did not spend the same amount you did be allowed to experience everything you did...for less?Why should developers work long hrs and for years just to have someone who is not paying them buy their games second hand.
Most games in generations before this one sold mi...
Anything that is a deterrent from buying a game used or just renting is good for developers. Places like Gamestop make a killing off of used goods and it is not fair that...
-2million ppl buy a game
-1million sell it
-4million ppl get to play it without the original developers getting a dime via used sales.
Then you have the fact many PC games get pirated rather than bought. Same for PSP.
-Dissidia FF on PSP sold like 2 million
-SE did...
Has Any one seen Batman:Return of the Red Hood? Phenomenal Animated Movie and it really showed the complex legacy laid down by the first Robin, aka Dick Grayson.
Huge Nightwing fan so this is a definite buy for me. I really hope its similar to a skin for Batman where I can play the entire game as NW cuz that would be awesome. A little dissappointed Robin is only a few Challenge Maps.
This will be a selling feature in DD's favor. If I can at least get a portion of my money back for a game I no longer have use for, that would be awesome. I really like the idea of "Selling back" a digital game for a percentage of credit where I can use it on another.
estimating 700,000-1mill first week. Lifetime I'm thinking 6.8mill-7.2mill.
