Oh man, this is my kind of game. I expect to see lots of bullets, women in red dresses, and cigarettes...tons and tons of cigarettes.
I'm seeing a trend here...
and Killswitch stole it from Winback, and Winback stole it from Time Crisis, and Time Crisis stole it from yadda, yadda, yadda, and on and on and on.
It's sad how everybody forgets Drake's Fortune.
And X-Men on Sega Genesis was probably the first to do the console crashing thing. I'm a little surprised they didn't call out MGS for theft, with all the movies they've taken from.
I can think of a million better ways to spend 4 bucks.
If a company offers you a swanky trip right before you review their game, and you take it, you have no integrity.
I wonder how many reviewers cashed those Dante's Inferno checks.
I don't disagree with the author here, but that lead really pisses me off.
If I like a movie and my two friends don't, I'm not going to call them money grubbing whores or studio plants or whatever.
This is the only Final Fantasy game that's ever been shot down by critics (I don't consider 7/10 getting shot down, though.)
If this game wasn't called Final Fantasy, I don't think so many people would care about it. I mean, there's people here saying they'll buy anything that says FF on day one. I think a lot of critics are like that, too. Give it a while for some more reviews to come in, they'll flip out over the title alone.
Looks Japanese as hell to me. How was this made with the west in mind?
Yeah, you shouldn't put so much stock into game reviews. FF X-2 and XII got amazing reviews and they sucked hard. Same deal with GTA 4.
I'm finding that my favorite games this generation are generally scored 7-ish or 8-ish out of 10. The 9's and 10's usually let me down in a big way.
He also directed that stupid-ass Final Fantasy 7 movie.
I like good JRPGs, but the girl in the picture above is insanely creepy. She looks like one of those sex dolls.
Ah, okay. So like Infamous but probably a lot more fleshed out. I'm not a big fan of that. It doesn't feel any more immersive to me. I just get taken out of the story because I realize I'm kind of controlling it. That's what I get for being a game nerd and a movie nerd.
If I'm playing Uncharted or whatever, I want to see what Nathan Drake would do, not what I think he should do. I don't think people would remember him like they do if they were deciding how he should talk and beha...
"Yes, there is a base plot here, but you can build your own story with it."
Honestly, that puts me off this game, but I know next to nothing about Mass Effect. Does this Shepherd guy/girl have any set personality, or is he/she just whatever you want him/her to be? Because that sounds incredibly boring if I'm just basically playing as myself.
Gimme a sequel to the cel-shaded Prince of Persia, dammit!
Ass Effect?
I think pretty much every game has this on the back of the box.
I never played Mass Effect, but I know that would just kill Uncharted for me.
I ate a chicken sandwich earlier, and it changed my life forever.
Mucho agreed. I really believe there are people out there who think Uncharted 2 was the first game in the franchise. They can't wait for Uncharted 2 2
