@Ausbo: Actually it's a Korean RPG.
If anyone played the previous game, exclusivity wouldn't be such a big deal. It wasn't that great. It's not some prize. About the only positive thing you'll hear about it concerns Hyung Tae-Kim's art style.
At least that leaves the door open to totally blow us away with a much improved sequel though. Here's hoping.
I literally screamed "oh shi-" in my head 80 times like an excited schoolgirl until I realised I'd misinterpreted the headline. (I thought you could unlock Galaxy in ME2 for a moment there.)
Still this is pretty cool.
"What he says is true most of the time."
Excuse me, what? What?
Yeah, he's been on a roll lately amplifying consumer concerns (those are not predictions btw). But the guy made loads of off predictions. He is far from right "most of the time". That's taking it a bit too far.
That's not really fair. It's not like the plot is incomprehensible without having played VII.
You might not get some references, but it's still an enjoyable movie on its own like the recent Star Trek.
Oh yeah, I definitely love other RPGs more than any single FF. Xenosaga springs to mind as my favourite JRPG. But overall, WRPGs like Planescape and Baldur's Gate take the crown for me. As a series though, not many can compete with FF's legacy.
Xenosaga would have been great for me if their team didn't fracture for every game. It showed in their work. I admire that they got it done, but it fell far short of what was originally planned. Imo the three games together don't top the o...
Seriously. I keep asking myself how MS plans to focus on XBL and DD as a service with these tiny hdds. 120GB is pathetic for full games. We need larger storage at fairer prices. It's not hard. Everyone else is doing it. :/
@Anti-fanboy: That's Vrook alright. But the picture is from the KOTOR comic which pre-dates the MMO. Nothing to do with TOR. If Vrook was in there I'd be very surprised because we SAW him die.
They'll probably just pull a retcon. But it's Bioware. They're not just going to upset the whole thing by ignoring established canon and creating intentional plot holes.
PSIV was ten tons of awesome. Loved PSIII as well. I wish they'd go ahead with a proper continuation of that series. And yes, bubbles all around
Lol, I like how he goes on about the young kids not knowing about early FFs and he himself only started a generation before at FFVI. Great game though and my personal favourite out the series as well.
But yeah, although I like VII and consider it a good game, I hate that fanboys of the game have to evangelise it as dwarfing all other RPGs ever made.
X-2 was probably my least favourite as well although I enjoyed the combat and gameplay. Blitzball 'manager mode' really...
AWESOME.
Reminds me of that Damnation steampunk PC for which Destructoid had a contest. I so wish I could build this kind of stuff... I probably could with some research...but I get sidetracked too much already.
I confess your comment has confounded me.
I used to be a backseat gamer too because I knew a lot about games. I could write a faq for something like Xenogears or Chrono Cross from memory right now. But I soon figured out that no one likes a smart ass.
I wouldn't use the Halo desktop specifically, but I like the idea. I wish I could find a nice Mass Effect theme though.
I dunno which controller is the worst EVER made, but smart money says Atari made it.
"This is just an alternative, not a replacement, not a new platform, an alternative for people, like me who prefer download only."
You just answered your own question. PSP owners wanted more of an upgrade, not an expensive alternative.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the Go still 64MB of RAM like the previous two PSP models? When did it double?
Well, duh. Activision isn't Capcom.
That number 2 gets me every time. Some people live for the multi, but I enjoy good stories. Not a 5 hour setup for a sequel.
Yeah, but running a game and running this 'superior' (or sometimes even comparable) version everyone brags about are two very different things. You don't often run a better version of the game from a factory card or an integrated gpu. Maybe on minimum or medium with low detail? These $500-$600 multimedia PCs most people buy aren't gaming rigs.
vega is right in that regard. Just because everyone has a PC doesn't mean they can play the latest games on it. Mainstream PC users can't even find Firefox on the web, let alone build/upgrade a PC for gaming.
It is definitely worth it imo to have a gaming rig. I'm not disagreeing about the value at all. If you know what you're doing or can follow directions, you will often reap richer rewards with better visuals and overall quality than the console version of a game.
I wouldn't be surprised if the trailer was prettied up. It's an ad.
But you're crazy if you think the final product won't look as good. Team Ico has a tradition of stunning visuals. Their games take years to get like that.
