If I'd been able to enjoy the first one, I'd be excited... Granted, I never got so far as testing out the online aspects of the game, which truly did sound cool. But the single player portion was SOOO flat that I just lost interest. And I really wanted the game to be good... I ignored all of the reviews and got it anyway! A lot of the rpg's I enjoyed last gen scored in the 6-7 range anyway... so the scores didn't phase me. But the main draw to WKC was supposed to be the combat...
I'm picking this and RDR up day one... I'll get Alan Wake & Alpha Protocol in another month or two to fill out my summer.
Well... he has a point. You're reaching out to the mods and talking about trolls simply b/c other gamers disagreed with his post. Some ppl will agree, and some will disagree... not really anything to call on the mods for... just the nature of the site.
I'm getting both RDR & Mod Nation... both are must have games for me!
Someone could not like Mass Effect and still like Bioware games. Dragon Age is more like the games that Bioware is known for making anyway... I agree that Mass Effect 2 is a great game (the 1st one wasn't as good), but that game does not 'define' the company.
I'd personally like the next installment of Dragon Age over another Mass Effect. But even more to my point, a lot of Bioware fans would prefer the next KOTOR over Mass Effect. So not liking that one game...
Of course it's the right platform to lead on... By leading on the most powerful system, it's easier to port to the 360, period. We saw this years ago w/ Burnout Paradise being an excellent example. And more recently Batman:AA. Games that lead on the PS3 simply tend to run better.
I'm sure it's a great game... but did we really wait ALL THAT TIME for a 5 hr game?!!! That really sucks... I don't have to worry about finding the money to buy it b/c it just got demoted to a rental.
My guess would be Killzone 3, Warhawk, or Resistance 3.
PLEASE let one of them be Heavenly Sword!!!
Thrust has no clue... he's latching on the the 8 and acting as if it justifies his reasoning. When the truth is that out of THIRTY EIGHT freakin reviews... only a measly 3, rated the game any less than a 9. GOWIII is obviously a freakin hit!
Is it possible they're hyping the game a bit too much. I am getting so freaking excited for it with all of the new news & vids... I'm scared my expectations might be getting too high!
I have never been disappointed by a GOW game and everything I have already seen is several times better than the previous games... At the risk of increasing the hype... I think this could turn out to be Sony's highest rated game yet!!!
I LOVE God of War... but I'd actually like to see them put an end to the franchise, at least for this gen... And then maybe come back with a totally new experience next gen.
I say this only b/c Sony still owns the Heavenly Sword franchise which is just begging for further story development. I also think that the Santa Monica team would build upon the combat and fill in the holes of the original game... particularly exploration & puzzles.
Have to wait on the firmware update for the PS3 first... and then the game itself would have to be patched as well. Although, there has been some talk of tv's that will 'upscale' 2D images into 3d as well... But just like scaling of SD images to HD... I would not expect it to look as nice as material that is made for 3D.
Sony's 3D TV's launch this summer... so the 3D update for the PS3 will likely be this summer as well.
That was the most interesting MMO footage I have seen to date actually! NCSoft was supposed to be working on games for Sony... I REALLY hope this ends up being one of them!!! I was already considering Old Republic, but I would hold off if this gets a 2010 release date!
If this was Natal... it is full of fail. He was doing WAY too much work for me to enjoy playing a game that way... and the response time seemed laggy (but I'm sure that's something they will be working to correct before it launches).
Famous folks to do dubs for the others??? What the hell are you talking about?! Yakuza 2 was Japanese voice track only, w/ subs.
That's the freakin point... the Yakuza series is one of the best to come to consoles & deserves to be acknowledged outside of Japan. Americans would LOVE this game... if more of us only knew about it. But somehow Sega doesn't get that.
I've never seen any Sega game outside of Sonic advertised over here since the gen began... I'm really not sure how Sega is able to sell games over here now that I think about it.
It's a shame... Yakuza 2 was one of the best games on the PS2... Better than the GTA games for sure imo. It should not have sold so poorly. And I've been saying the same thing as this article ever since the release date was announced... I feel like I want their game to succeed more than they do.
No, the combat was NOTHING like the first reveal of the game so many E3's ago. Of course we know now that was a CG trailer, as the graphics were also much more appealing in that trailer... but if you can't see the difference, you obviously were NOT following it from when they 1st announced it. The combat flow was that of real fighting (not the slow waiting on the ring), and they actually showed the ability to do combo's w/ your team mates unlike anything actually possible in the g...
