They should have taken their ideas to a different setting, like going from SystemShock to Bioshock, the story her was complete, they can't recreate the same sense of mystery and suspense in the same setting.
I also think there was no need for multiplayer her; some games should just focus on singe player and not get distracted.
Marvel UA 2, Fable 2 and Genji 2 belong in that list
LO is FF minus the trademark, and it plays like FF7, 8 and 9, the plot is original and the production is high quality.
And it seems you also missed Tales of Vesparia, it is the best produced Tales game yet, battles are fast paced fun and addictive, and gameplay is very deep, the story is good and the characters are great.
In its first years the 360 was the consol of choice for RPGs, Japanese or western, and you have to give Microsoft credit, they brought next gen JRPGs in the time japans developers turned to the handhelds for low cost production, Lost Odyssey is one of the best JRPG this generation and better than FF13, and if more polish was applied games like Blue Dragon, Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery could have become great as well.
They also commissioned Tales of Vesperia that wa...
Comments in the CNN article are positive, I tried to post about the various issues plaguing Kenect that the writer failed to address, but it turns out that every comment is reviewed first.
Puff piece
I meant disabling trophies to allow importing saves, the reason there is save protection is to prevent trophy tampering, so my problem is not with trophies directly.
And games like Batman AA and RDR had built in cheats but using those disabled saving.
Before trophies I downloaded a MGS4 save to get the bandana and camouflage and I used cheats at my leisure in GTA4, I want to have fun like that again, and I will get PSN+ if it featured these options.
That first screenshot had me wishing for a 2D Metroid with Shadow Complex graphics
The Wii and DS both have a very large install base, so I don’t think it would hurt them now, I for one would love to play DS games on the TV, the DS screen is just too small, even the DSXL isn't big enough.
The GameCube hade an ad-on that played Gameboy cartridges, maybe thy can do something like that.
I want an option to disable trophies and save protection, and offer cheats, I don’t want to use easy mode, I want to play on hard not die and keep pulling the trigger and throwing grenades, I want to feel the pleasure of leveling up after every fight; I want to buy everything in stores...
In the not so exact words of Gordon Gekko:
"The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that cheating—for lack of a better word—is good. Cheating is right. Cheating works. Cheating c...
That’s still not an excuse, look at games like Shadow of the colossus and the old classic Out of this World, they tell a story without human interaction.
My point is the best storytelling today is done thru and during the gameplay, not only cutscens.
It's going to be tougher for them this time around, smartphons are all the rage now, and Apple are dominating with 3 different handheld models (Ipad,Ipod,Iphone).
When the DS launched it was the go to handheld for kids, this time around its Apple products.
I still think the 3DS will be a big seller, especially in Japan, but not as much as the DS worldwide.
I'll pay 100$ if they disable save protection for + subscribers
I didn’t believe that was actually the ending, I waited for him to get back up or for me to go after him for the big showdown, after nothing happened I thought there was a glitch or something. Overall the pacing of the game was horrible.
And other things they need to fix is the annoying narration, I felt like I was being talked down to. And the game needs to be open world, it's not that big, the constant loading killed whatever fun was left.
It looks good for them now. Thing is both Sony and Microsoft will invade Nintendo ground with an upgrade, but Nintendo will have a hard time wooing players used to games like Gears of War and Uncharted. Another thing is the bad online on the Wii, its miles behind the other 2.
After the launch of Move and Kenict the Wii won't be special anymore, it will be relegated to a budget purchase, and will loss 3rd party software sales after many games go multiplatform, and Wii games beco...
Fable games always "sound fantastic" until you play them.
Not surprising since their best developers went to form Platinum studios and relaying on outsourcing for development.
They "dominate" in the casual category, with the hardcore they are a distant third.
I was going to stop with the PSEye…but then one thing led to another
in for a penny in for a pound
Even action games like GOW, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Infamous, Halo, Bioshock, and recently Transformers and RDR tell great stories.
I think western developers figured out how to keep storytelling consistent with the gameplay and imbedded within it, while in Japan they still relay on cutscens and separate them from the gameplay.
Funny thing is when talking about Kenect he kept saying imagine this imagine that, obviously embarrassed by the actual games.
That’s what the Kenect promise is, fiction.
