No that's about what I was getting at! I really ought to try the first Portal game, wonder if my laptop could run it. The Witness looks interesting too although I'm not sure I could take such a long game of puzzles. :P
Great review as always beans, couldn't really ask for more than that if I was thinking about getting the game! Portal 2 is the only real puzzler I've played this generation. In fact I've never really gotten into the genre even though I do enjoy puzzles, perhaps I just don't have the brainpower or patience to sift through tons of puzzles one after another. Is there anything similar to Portal 2 in its execution of puzzles you might suggest?
I think it's just looking for publicity, nothing new for Kojima doing things like this in mysterious ways. Heck how many times has he said he's excited to announce and talk about his Project Ogre because of the taboo nature of the game?
It is OK my child, follow the good path of not being a fanboy on N4G and showers of gifts shall befall ye.
ya dig?
YESS PLEASE SONY AND MICROSOFT GIVE US MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO MILK OUR FANBASE AND MAKE MORE MONEY
If it only takes new consoles to make creative and innovative titles why are you still making Rayman, Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed games?
A part of me wants to think that them mentioning both ICO and SoTC (and mentioning ICO in the PS2 video) is possibly hinting at The Last Guardian. One can dream.
I lol'd. Let's be realistic guys, SE are just trying to make money from a game they seem to never want to release.
Possibly to do with localisation issues.
Proof that gamers in general are terribly stupid consumers.
Oh great, more poor and pointless Ratchet & Clank games, just end the series already it has been such a long time since a decent Ratchet & Clank game that actually stood out for good reasons was made.
Oh it's your review is it?
How is boycotting a developer a juvenile way to go about showing your distaste for what a developer / publisher is doing? If anything it's the best way to do it - show these people that if they mess you around they won't be getting any of your precious money any more. Most gamers don't have the balls or backbone to actually boycott developers or publishers. They piss and moan about this and that but don't do anything about it, they just keep buying games. If you keep giving th...
No of course I wouldn't disregard every review that would just be silly, but that's the reason why I don't read into Metacritic's score system. There are websites that might get paid for reviews, websites that give ridiculously high or low scores just for attention, websites that in general only have a 6-10 score system (not in a literal sense but I'm sure you know what I mean), websites that have lower score systems (probably such as Edge) so some games might come better ...
Oh man I want. I've just gotten into the Tales series in the last 2 months or so through playing Vesperia and have already bought Milla's figure from Xillia and Yuri from Vesperia. I got my Milla one before the weekend and it looks great but it just seems a bit small for the price, but even then I want an Estelle figure too. Graaaah too many figures coming out lately waaay too many for my wallet to handle along with games.
Prefer Play Arts figures myself, there's tons of Big Boss figures around already anyway.
@Neo: Re-read my comment my friend. I said people using the "well X game got a really high review score and sold loads" is a pathetic argument to say that that X game is great. Everyone knows the pitiful state of gaming reviews these days (pretty much any decent game has to get 8+ or else it's regarded as a piece of garbage).
First of a number of amazingly humorous comments I presume.
By not really another Mass Effect game they mean it'll just be Shepard sitting in the Normandy at the Citadel and you have to pay to unlock every other planet.
What, no dice? Oh well, more flat ass at the Citadel bar for me.
bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwww
Relax there was barely any significance to it, just another example of how bad my use of the English language is at times. :P
I just meant puzzle games like Portal, ones which can blend a decent narrative with fun gameplay (the latter being most important of course) so that not everything feels like it's a case of "here's puzzle #1", "here's puzzle #20", you know?
