It's a pretty subjective term.
To me a hardcore gamer is some one who can be killed a few hundred times on Super Meat Boy, smile and go back for more.
Hojo, They're quite different, I like them both.
I'm finding it hard to quantify.
Lost Odyssey has a more impressive world, scope and a more diverse soundtrack.
The Last Story has more impressive gameplay innovation even if it is frequently too easy, a better executed story and cast of characters.
It's all pretty subjective I suppose and I really wouldn't want to miss either but if I had to take one over the o...
Great deal, thats nearly in line with the US launch price.
Not that I have any regrets with my launch day deal mind- mine gets plenty of action.
I thought the Last Story was fantastic, easily one of my favourite games of the whole generation.
Agreed I already sold my moves after getting bored of waiting for decent software for it.
Table tennis and tumble were fun, that was about it for me.
There's really no need to choose.
If your a fan of the genre these are the games you've been waiting for without a doubt.
I have a new found respect for Ninty for listening to the fans and bringing these games over to us western folks, it's only fair we buy them, also the localisation effort on both is great.
I'm fine with no used games as long as new ones are cheaper just like PC games really.
Backwards compatibility is nearly always crap anyway- play Parappa the Rapper on your PS3 and see what I mean- horrible lag.
Surely remakes and re-releases shouldn't count as current gen?
Doesn't that in itself highlight the lack of games to choose from?
Edit: Buy the Last Story so they make me another one to play. :)
I love this game, the controls are perfect- you die often but it's always down to your own inadequacy and never feels cheap.
A shining example of why a touchscreen only game cannot compete with physical controls on a hardcore game.
I agree, lovely style- tedious gameplay.
Hmm he's got a point that does look to be shaping up nicely.
We're from the same era more or less :)
Get yourself a Wii- 'the Last Story' will hit the spot I promise you, I'ts generation behind for graphics but my god its got the feel nailed.
Mostly really well voice acted as well.
I disagree with this article quite a bit.
Firstly, I much prefer the template JRPG story to the template western military story line.
More importantly that completely misses the point of what makes good JRPG storys good, it's the interaction between your members of the party and npcs and their little personal story's and backstory's all loveingly wraped and twisted together into a package greater than the sum of it's parts. Great villans and g...
I play mine every day, for the most part I love it.
Wipeout has strangely been a bit of a let down for me though, unless I get to the front of the pack pretty quickly all the tail exhasts are too shiney and I can't see where I'm going!
I was suprised how long Uncharted was finished it yesterday took me two and half weeks of lunchtimes much longer than the ps3 ones I think.
Ouch, Team Ninja did a Square-Enix?
They just all round need Nobuo I think.
This game has been satisfying my jRPG hunger so well.
I love it. Buy it so they localise the next one please.
Six years.... mental.
I wonder if it's going to play anything like The Last Story, I'm absolutly loving the battles in that even if they are all a bit easy.
So the general line of thought is no.
I don't think it's that out there an idea, Steam lets me play my Steam collection on anything that can run it I think it should be a standard feature.
A few tacked on touch controls that I don't care about isn't worth buying games that I already paid £40 each for on the PS2 and possibly another £30 for the set on PS3. Guess I'll just get the PS3 version.
Amen, I refuse to pay for my own internet connection twice.
