Pffft. Iwata is the shit. Def one of the coolest guys in the industry. He runs a tight ship and i think has served N well. Just watch/read some of the Iwata asks interviews. He used to program and really knows his shit plus he has a passion for the industry. Id love to meet him one day.
Really sucks that the 3rd flopped so hard. I really did love it (omg the prison and train bits were FANTASTIC). The series finally found its footing after 2 average games and gamers didnt bat an eye. Prob didnt help Gears 3 was dropping soon. Most prob got that or whatever COD came out (Black Ops right?).
Someones jelly its not on the their system. This is one of the best jrpg's ive ever played and the most important since FF7 because it evolved the genre. It cut out the crap boring bits and made combat fun and fluid. It brought them into modern times (hell it even reminds me of Uncharted the way everything is interactive). It may play like an action game (cover system and all) but underneath its classic FF through and through. Havent fell in love with a game like this since Lost Odyssey a...
She/He will obviously wait for the ps to get a tablet controller in 4-5 years and then rave about how awesome and innovative it is.
Gosh now another 6 year wait. Remasters usually take months not years. Make FF10-12 run in HD on consoles. Release as a collection and done. Knowing square FFX will be 60 bucks also. Damnit i want FFX and 12 on vita asap.
Stole the words right out of my mouth (literally lol). Mgs is a story driven sp game. Peace Walker was trying to do the whole MH thing for the handheld and while it worked its not right for the main series on consoles. I played it alone because thats how i like my MGS (challenging and taking my sweet ass time). Now for a seperate mode sure, not for the campaign.
They could maybe do something creative like side missions similar to Demons Souls where if you head to a certain...
Do you ever wonder if Japanese gaming outlets give western games shitty scores? They prob dont understand shooters and think they all are generic and play the same like how most publications here think jrpgs are the same.
People just need to play the best of each genre. Dont play some shitty Planet Neptunia (whatever) crap. Try The Last Story, Xenoblade, and Lost Odyssey. In Japan they need to try Gears 3 with 4 player co-op (they love co-op). I think its the most appealin...
Nier was alright. I LOVED the style of it and the atmosphere it created but the gameplay was pretty average, the world was empty, boring, and the story didnt get good until the end. I loved its variey though. Id say it was a decent rpg but not even in the top 5 imo. Lost Odyssey, Xenoblade, The Last Story, Tales of Vesperia, and Valkyria Chronicles are all far better. Still worth playing for rpg fans and maybe even for Zelda fans (kinda reminded me of Zelda with the art style of Ico). Sad it ...
I like it just add Kaim, Jansen, and Seth from Lost Odyssey. I love them all so mush i couldnt narrow it down. It would also have to be something different, more like Mortal Kombat or Killer Instinct (and use KI characters paving the way for KI3). It needs to be more not mature but bloody and adult as most MS games are violent and more adult (wrpgs, fps, gears, even Lost Odyssey was a jrpg with adults and a dark depressing story). Id dig a 2d fighter with all the best MS characters and cult f...
The ram is a problem, worse than low disk space on the 360. You can always compress and release multiple disks but you cant fix broken. Its why every major 360 game has 4 player co-op, splitscreen, mp and the like where the ps3 games rarely have co-op. People say games are dumbed down to fit on 360 disks but imagine how many multiplat games wouldve had co-op if the ps3 had more ram. Good thing is Ms learned to have a better format and Sony learned to add more ram then you will hopefully ever ...
It was great but it was missing 3 big things imo. The first is the big blockbuster moments Uncharted is known for, they were mia. Thats like a Gears game without Locust. The second is mp. This wouldve sold much more (and sold more vitas) if it had even 3 vs 3 mp. It wouldve been the perfect game to showcase mp. The third is co-op. It was perfect for some bite sized co-op levels ripped right from the campaign. It wouldve given it more longevity and people would encourage friends/family to get ...
Il prob buy one. I was gna get the Nexus 7 (prob still will) but this looks hella fun. I just wish a top spec tablet added buttons.
This is the start just as the xperia play was for phones. We are seeing the convergance of gaming into one device (eventually). Im all for this as the mobile market acually has far more games and just by sheer numbers theres alot of really great games. The only thing missing was buttons and thats going to be forgotten soon.
Well its nintendos job to please nintendo fans not ms fans. Why would you help the compitition? I truly did want it but it wouldve been worse on wii and the 360 would overshadow it.
Pffff. Everyone knows WII>everything else. Its basically alien tech. Even now top dev's are working to unleash its true potential. I heard it even has an extra core not even unlocked yet (when it does mind BLOWN people). It has the highest number of exclusives and gets COD map packs so early they never arrive. Nintendogs>Kinectimals and Eye Pet. Wiimote was an innovation so innovative it was delayed from a decade ago to wait till the world was ready to realize its awesomeness. Add t...
Played on the 360 and it was one of my favorite titles ever. Still one of the most beautiful console games imo. Its just a little buggy but damn was the atmospere amazing. One of the best soundtracks ever imo. Id give it at least an 8 (and thats for the 360 version). BLASPHEMY!!!
JK/ I like your reviews and i do agree it was unpolished and all the problems you mention are there. I just think the games positives far outwiegh the negatives. The experience wasnt really diminis...
Im glad they are pushing the tech but WTF? Nobody except maybe 50 rich people will buy this. This is more of dick measuring tool (they always try to make the biggest best tv for shit like CES). I would love (LOVE LOVE) to have that baby though. I bet Xenoblade would look dope on a 4000p 84 in tv. Would really do the wii justice.
The Last Story has one of the best battle systems in a jrpg imo. Fast paced, tons of action, and it still allows strategy and controlling uber powerfull attcks of your teammates. Really glad Mistwalker tried something new, modern, and innovative. Plays like FF, Mass Effect, and Diablo all thrown together. Loved it.
Resonace of Fate also had one of my favorite non traditional battle systems. Really hard to explain but damn was it addictive, strategic, fun, and hard as hell a...
More like "How Nintendo Recaptured The Gaming Market". Seriously, they came back after weak gamecube sales and outsold both Sony and MS. The 3ds is the best selling handheld and already has the best library ever (especially since it plays all ds titles). They have launched new ip's like Xenoblade, The Last Story, Kid Icarus Uprising, and huge exclusives from 3rd parties like RE Revelations, Kingdom Hearts, and more on the way. I think the wii-u will be their best console since t...
Love my vita but it does have some problems. I dislike that 90% (prob more like 95-98%) of psp titles dont work on it. I dislike that theres no internal memory and i cant easily switch mem cards. I wish they would put my fav titles on the store and i wish ps2 classics worked on it. Other than those its a newer, better psp and i loved the psp. Games will come in time im just abit worried that Sony let a shitty dev like Nihilistic work on two of the biggest games on the vita. Im worried they ju...
ME3 ruined the whole series and soiled the name (which was one of the best most respected and beloved franchises). Its like watching return of the jedi and at the end some 5 yr old telling you he created the empire to keep humanity in check so that humanity doesnt create an empire. Yea thats FU**ING RETARDED. Shitty matrix like twist.
Whats wrong the Reapers bieng benevolant beings that want to destroy life? Maybe they prevent extinction (from wars and whatnot) and help ev...
