Hahaha this article was great. Games really can provide a lot of life lessons! Some of these I hadn't even thought of.
The Skyward Sword demo is the same one they've been showing off for a while, and of course its going to be very limited. Would you want it to be really long, or be a full area of the game and just totally ruin that part for you? I remember playing a very similar demo of Windwaker at Gamestop before it came out. It had one part from the beginning, one from a dungeon, and the first boss fight. So I don't see why people expect something totally different from this one, that set up is a g...
That's how I was with almost any horror game for a while, but I think that changed when I started trying to imagine what it would be like to actually be Isaac and have to go through all of that ridiculousness, instead of thinking about the game flow and what might or might not be coming next. Blood and gore started to have much more impact on me as well when I started doing that, and I even end up getting startled by things in replays of it because i'm completely ignoring what's g...
That's a perfect way of putting it, I couldn't agree more.
It might just be the OCD talking, but I don't think a game case looks complete without a manual. I even ordered a replacement manual for my ocarina of time master quest case.
So close to the end of Dark Souls, I only have Gravelord Nito left to defeat and then it's on to the final boss fight. I don't want it to end!
WHAT?!?!?! How is he able to kill the bosses so fast? I have a Lightning broadsword+5 and it still takes me a while to kill some bosses....
SUPER SPEED AND LOTS OF HP!
I have a pretty good idea of ways the story could continue in KH 3, and even after the main series is over since Nomura said the series will continue after 3. Sure it's just vague ideas but they are pretty good ideas.
They are definitely not milking the series. Yeah you could get by without playing the handheld games, but you would definitely be confused. I'm only just now understanding all of KH 2 after playing BBS and 358/2, they really explained a lot about the story and connected all the games together. Like how Organization XIII talks to Sora as if he's Ventus/Roxas, and the whole reason you start KH 2 as Roxas. I feel their business plan for the series is having the main games on home console...
Like I posted above I can use the 3D, move around all I want, use the motion controls to the fullest extent even while laying down, and still not break the 3D effect. And I also have bad eye problems, yet I can play the 3DS for hours and not get any headaches. Just because that's YOUR experience doesn't make it true for everyone, because everyone perceives 3D differently. I know many people who have similar experiences with headaches with the so called "superior" stereoscopi...
I can play Starfox with the 3D on while using the motion controls, and with only one hand. And I never had problems keeping the 3D effect. So I don't see what the issue is.
I love this game.
I do that all the time, and then I just end up restarting it.
Prime 2 is so great, if you really think about the danger Samus puts herself through in that game going back and forth between the 2 worlds it is just ridiculous. It had so much impact on me, and really showed/developed more character for Samus than most of the games do.
Metroid Prime Trilogy. For the fact that each game is a unique masterpiece. Also because it let's you play the first 2 in a new way, not just on a new console. And the packaging for it is pretty sweet too, I love the metal case.
I really don't care about the voice acting, that wasn't really what stood out to me in these games. It was the overall experience, and the presentation of a lot of the games moments. And silent hill has never had very strong voice acting anyways, although the new one looks to be changing that.
I swear I got hit with a fire bomb through a window in that area, when I was in that room with the bunch of enemies right after the first bonfire in Undead Burg.
I know me too, I just can't believe how many enemies they throw at you at once, and that's just in the beginning! You never faced so many enemies at once in demons souls, and then the enemy AI is just RUTHLESS.
Edit: I hit reply to BlackTar, no idea why it didn't do that.
This article is very good at explaining the appeal of Demons/Dark Souls, but I don't agree that the are more Zelda and Metroid than the series themselves. Although they are definitely influenced by them, and Castlevania, they took elements that worked great in those series and adapted them to form an entirely different experience. Even though I can see all the influences while I play them, it still doesn't feel like that's what they were going for. And in the developer videos they...
