socomnick, to me you have described two games there. Myst and Dragon's Lair were both very enjoyable. Although the gameplay is much different from that of a fps or rpg, it is a breath of fresh air seeing things of this nature start to appear in the market. Whether exclusive or not, Cage puts a lot of attention into his stories and even if it controlled horribly, I would be drawn in by the story.
You won't regret buying the xbox, Lost Odyssey is very enjoyable. This game was one of the reasons why I finally purchased an xbox around February. I have only gotten a little ways into the game, but the dream sequences will suck you in.
A timed exclusivity is very unlikely. They released the last game simultaneously and it was listed as one on of the fast growing new ip's if I remember correctly. Neither company will get timed exclusivity. Now exclusive content on the other hand is anyone's guess.
Wow, that's some interesting stuff that I haven't heard until now. And I thought the console wars was fairly heated.
Never owned the first one as I was put off by the way it controlled, but look forward to the sequel. The graphics to me are probably more engaging than realistic graphics. Hopefully this time around they will have gotten the time to polish the game more.
Wow, very good job. I would play a little of either if it weren't for finals.
I have been looking around for Dark Cloud 2. I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Does The Mart or Zhuk even exist anymore, I haven't seen either of them in awhile.
Even though I am a frequent of N4G and own every console, the xbox 360 still in my mind remains the "shooter system." It's a stigma that I don't think it will ever shake off regardless of what games it has to offer. Whether or not that is a good or bad thing, I don't know. All I can say is that they do good job of promoting the hardcore games and they have given themselves a strong image in that respect.
It almost feels like the graphics are residing in the uncanny valley to me. While slightly disturbing, one has to reach that level before you can pass it. I look forward to what Naughty Dog has to offer.
I am glad it has been confirmed that we can walk now. =)
If they were ever to release a game where you could actually catch all the Pokemon ever released, I would buy that the day it came out. Heck, I would finally upgrade to one of the newer DS's while at it (the old DS just doesn't have the appeal of the newer ones).
There is no shame in that. Pokemon games shaped out generation. I still remember when Red and Blue came out around third grade. Some of the most fun I had playing games was spent leveling up in Pokemon.
I haven't played Pokemon since gold/silver/crystal, but have been looking for a reason to start playing again the games again. I think I just found a reason to start playing again.
Shoot that Fable II and controller deal are very tempting. Best deal I have seen for a controller in awhile other than Microsoft's club live deal. Played some mini games for basically about 3 hours and managed to get the 360 controller and the usb computer adapter for free.
Ouch, those are dangerous words right there. Lost Odyssey was one of the reasons why I wanted a 360.
I understand what you mean Guitardr85, I wish it would have come out on the ps3 also. I would have played it sooner. If it weren't for the 30% discount on the 360 when Circuit City was going out I would have probably missed out on this amazing game. The dream sequences are truly moving.
Hmm... I must be really tired, or the comments might have been edited, but I can not follow what just happened here. ???
Lost Odyssey brings back the feeling of enjoyment that I had playing rpg's last generation. Although I have only just begun the game, the dreams have drawn me into this game. Heck, I don't think I have even fought any people yet other than those at the opening sequence. Can't wait to see what he has to offer.
I forgot that he was a troll at one time. That time has past. I remember others like The Mart and Zhuk. There really aren't many big trolls that come to mind anymore other than the occasional Why Dis comment.
