The article is missing the main argument why fans dislike these FFXIII sequels to begin with. FFXIII characters, most especially Lightning, weren't really very interesting. And if a set of characters isn't interesting, it is only logical not to make more stories, in this case, games about them.
In XIII-2's case, I know SE were trying to redeem the title before it. Yes, I know that FFXIII sold well, but this doesn't remove the fact that the game wasn't very...
Lightning Returns borrows a lot from Valkyrie Profile with all the countdown thing. I'd rather they make Valkyrie Profile 3 than this. Hrist has a more interesting story to tell than Lightning... Sorry.
Wow, this game has online competitive?
The premise of a post-apocalyptic world ruled by nature was a hook for me; however, I couldn't keep myself from coparing Enslaved to Heavenly Sword. HS simply was a magnificent title with its production values and endearing story. I can't say the same for Enslaved. Though Trip's angle showed promise, I only felt quite annoyed by her at the onset.
The puzzles and vertical traversals, ala Uncharted, also didn't really give room for error. This wasn't helped ...
Lightning for me was an interesting character at first. But towards the end, nothing really was fleshed out about her character. She was a bit one-sided if you ask me. She is likened to Cloud a lot, and I have to admit they somehow resemble each others character; however, Cloud's character was okay at the time, I guess partially because of the technical limitation of the PS1 having no voice-over and such. For Lightning, being on the silent side and emoish didn't work. She somehow just...
The article was intelligently made. He gave the game and its developers the benefit of the doubt by saying that FFXIII may have suffered the 'AAA' syndrome on the current HD consoles. Perhaps SE was forced to overperform in the graphics area that other elements of the game got poorly developed.
Anyway, the new Lightning Saga is right around the corner, so there might be a chance at redemption for this series. I would have to see how this third installment in the franc...
Please, SE. Don't pretend that there was a Lightning Saga to begin with. Case in point: though I know FFXIII-2 was better than XIII, it wasn't wanted by the majority of FF fans to begin with; it wasn't even anticipated and hoped for. SE is like a bit dillusional here, thinking that FFXIII was a masterpiece when it clearly wasn't and isn't.
You can disagree all you want, but I know this is the truth.
Well Namco is Japanese and yet Tekken girls look more appropriate in a brawl in their 1P, standard outfits than, say, Kasumi will ever be. Seriously, when a girl fights, she does everything she could to make sure her breasts don't jiggle; she makes sure they are taped or bandage so she could concentrate on and in the fight.
But we're talking about Tecmo here, and we all know how they view women. Ironic isn't it?
PS: I don't know, even when the...
Silent Hill 2 had an atmosphere so oppressive and depressing I couldn't replay it right after I finished it. I also got depressed by the thought of encountering P. Head again in that maze.
I wish whoever made SH2 comes back and make another SH.
The English music at the end fits well. The voice acting of the characters is also superb!
The battle system looks very engaging. I really hope this comes to the west.
I hope it comes bundled with one Move controller, one Nav controller, and one PS Eye.
This game is decent at best. The game mechanics may have changed, albeit, leaned towards WoW, but it was never what most D2 fans expected anyway.
I loved the game, but giving us RMAH for a replay value is not a reason at all.
I hope this gets revealed at Gamescom. I might actually get a Move for this game.
Every screenshot this game releases takes my breath away. I want to live in this game!!!
Day 1!
I like the game world. More, please!
ND has worked hard for this patch and they're now delivering new contents for FREE! I don't know about you guys, but I will show my appreciation by playing this game 100 hours more! I just hope they increase the chance of getting MP treasures you don't have yet.
The comments here are a mixed bag; however, I really like UC3's MP, so I'm quite hyped for this. I know some people love classic mode, but if UC3 doesn't have it, I guess Hardcore is the closest thing you can get.
This affirms that you can never please everyone, but maybe as ND and UC3 fans, we can just accept UC3 as what it is, and not compare it to UC2.
Yeah, TTT2 has a really awesome netcode. 4 bars warrant mostly lagless matches!!! Great job, Namco!
