Although I am really looking forward to this game, and would love to play the demo early, the Playstation conference on the 20th is far more important... I will just wait the extra week for the regular demo release.
I love Trophies. I too have a competition with my friends, but they've sort of given up due to the fact that I am a much more enthusiastic gamer. Oh well, I'll just compete with... the world!
Nice level 19 by the way! I'm only level 16 45%, 10 plats. I'll get there soon though!
My solution to this is that when I am trophy hunting, I turn the trophy mode to offline; no sync happens and I can quickly check which ones I need. And if you have PS+, you can set your PS3 to auto update the trophies to the server at like 6 am. This is what I do and I thoroughly enjoy collecting trophies.
Haha it is a big phone, but now every other phone just looks really small!
I'm not sure how many levels it has. It has at least 200, though I've never made it that far. XD
Thanks! I know the review says iPhone, but that's because they didn't have an Android version. I am using the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, which runs it pretty much perfectly.
While I understand what you're saying, my inspiration for posting was to share my experience with these games and to finalize why I don't like them. I realize that this may reiterate some reasons why others didn't like them, but these are my personal reasons. I don't think that this should be a forum post, but I respect why you didn't approve it. Thanks for explaining though.
I think that if Fallout 3 came with all of the later DLC when it was released, it would have left a better impression on you. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the expansions, although the Game of The Year Edition had some framerate issues. Anyway, Fallout 3 stands pretty high in my top RPG of all time list.
My first experience with TES was also Oblivion. My friend had downloaded it, albeit illegally; I put it on my PC and fell in love. Later, I felt bad about technically stealing it, so I bought the anniversary edition.
Then, when Skyrim was released, I stayed up for at least 3 days playing it. Some of my best gaming memories are with Oblivion and Skyrim. I can't pin-point why I love the series either, probably just because it's amazing.
Anyway, I look f...
Ni no Kuni looks absolutely fantastic! One of my most anticipated games of 2013. But yes those games are really hard to come by.
Yeah this is definitely not about me losing touch with gaming. I just didn't know what else to title it that flowed as well.
I agree though. It's not like I don't play CoD or BF ever. But to me, those are just like filler games, if you know what I mean. I play them because they're mind-numbing. I don't need to concentrate to heavily to play them.
Very few games this year really blew me away. Dishonored and Journey mostly. I am looking forward to a lot of games next year though, especially Watch Dogs. Although, I didn't know it was being developed on current generation specs. At E3 I thought it was running on a high-end PC? I could be wrong though.
This game looks so amazing... March cannot come fast enough.
Hahaha yeah. I can see that. I think that he was being pretty selfish, but when you were playing the game for the first time, did you know that you were doing something bad? I didn't. I thought I was just trying to save that fine piece of ass while taking down some pretty crazy looking monsters. But yup, from that perspective, I can totally see how he could be the bad guy.
I agree with you, it is all about perspective. But really, when you're playing these games, like God of War or The Darkness, we think that even though we're doing something that is ultimately wrong, the game tells us it's right because we're this character. I just imagine a game with the main character being someone like... the Joker from The Dark Knight. A villain with almost no reason to do what he's doing, other than chaos. And we know that we're doing something com...
Very good points. The couple I don't agree with are Shadow of The Colossus and Metal Gear.
In Shadow, I think it's fair to argue that he didn't know he was awakening the evil, just trying to save this girl who was obviously very important to him. And even though he awakened the evil in the end, it didn't really compromise the world and it accomplished what he set out to do.
And in Metal Gear, maybe if you elaborated more, I could see how you ...
Yes.
@Hufandpuf I get what you mean by that. Like Fez has pixel art, which isn't graphically challenging, but I can't imagine it with any other art style. It works with the game and that's part of what makes the game great.
I think the fact that she has Res 6 and then Res 4 so high on the list is what makes this extremely crazy... That's like blasphemy.
Basically every indie game - Super Meat Boy, Lone Survivor, Spelunky, Fez, etc. All of those are wonderful games with very little graphical power.
I completely understand what you're saying. What I tried to touch on near the end of the blog was that games need only have some realistic elements in them. Ni no Kuni might be almost all fantasy, but it has that human element. Oliver is a boy, with a mother, and emotions. It's those things that really boost the connection players make with the game.
Same thing with God of War. Although the majority of the story is completely fiction, its' premise is based on hum...
