I mean, the story is nice and all, but I'd be just as happy if it just one giant compendium of puzzles and an index. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
And back then, it was my father who did the buying, not me.
But, damn, I hated DOS. Always had piles of stick-notes pressed on the computer, reminding me of all the various commands to use. Goddamn, those were the dark ages all right.
It's simple, really: mice and controllers offer more precise input. Mostly, because it's not a 1:1 conversion. It's easiest to use a laptop analogy: keyboard and mouse (controller) versus tablet/stylue (motion control). To move the pointer from one end of the screen to the other, I have to move the stylus all the way across. With a mouse, I only need to nudge it.
Basically, with a mouse, you can accomplish the same input with only a fraction of the energy--making ...
It's the whole, you know, constantly praising himself for being so 'brave' and innovative, and being such a visionary while not actually producing any new or innovative that makes him a pretentious twat.
Hate steam integration. I feel like every time I feel like playing a game, Steam won't let me. It's buggy as hell--on all of my computers.
The new Fallout looks good... but, with all the Bethesda games I've played... it feels like when you first get into them they feel bloody brilliant. And for five hours or so it's all awesome... but then they rapidly become really boring. With Fallout 3 and Oblivion, I loved the games at first, then I got sick of crap writin...
I diagnose a case of 'hating-a-game-for-being-p opular.'
Then I dusted off my 360 and popped in Fable II. An hour later, I logged on to Amazon and canceled my pre-order. What was I thinking?
I'm sure it'll be an entertaining game, but no way in hell is it worth $60. Not even half that.
Also: nothing to do with PS3.
Molyneux is a... celebrity? I didn't realize you could make your signature worth money by being a pretentious twat.
I've never felt the need to buy any peripheral equipment. I mean, there's just too little to justify it. Most games aren't gonna take advantage of it, and of those games that do, fewer still will be good, and of that fraction, odds are I'd only be interested in playing a fraction of them.
This applies not just to these silly motion-control things that Sony and MS are pucshing... but to all the many other peripherals gamers have been told to buy over the years....
The only way for a franchise to get really good games is for a franchise to have a LOT of a games made. The best Star Wars games came out at a time when we saw two or three SW games each year--we've just forgotten the bad ones. All of the good Trek games came out at the same time. It's like darts: throw enough of 'em, and you'll get some bulls eyes. Gundam does this two.
Releasing a single big-budget game once every couple of years is NOT the way to go about...
I can't remember well, but I think I thought this game looked good.
I try not to pay much attention to pre-release stuff. It's easier to be impressed by good games, like Nier and Lords of Shadow, that way.
I stopped playing my 360 version when I heard they were making an improved PS3 version. (of Vesperia)
Never picked it up again.
A heavily hyped game, with lots of marketing and pre-release attention, from an established "AAA" developer cannot, be definition, be a sleeper hit.
Honestly, the PS3/360 cannot yet even have sleeper hits because there are simply too few games out there for one to be lost under the pile. Sleeper hits need to be relatively esoteric--they come out of nowhere--which means either from unknown developers, or released alongside much bigger games that overshadow them--and ...
Whenever a game gets so consistent reviews.... like this one--each review hovering at about 80%--I can't help but feel it was all arranged beforehand.
Outliers are outliers, yeah, but I can't help but be suspicious when I don't see any.
Anyway, I question the logic of posting non-english reviews. Google's translator is... not exactly up to the task.
Greatness is all about taking old ideas and putting them together in new ways. It's about execution--about how you arrange the material, not how original the material is.
See Final Fantasy, Baldur's Gate, Starcraft, Age of Empires, Civilization, The Witcher, Valkyria Chronicles, Uncharted, Okami, Professor Layton, etc., etc., etc.
Flawed article premise is flawed.
Wasn't that the cell phone game?
Honestly, considering the poor quality of, well, all everything with FFVII in the name (other than FFVII) I can't say I care very much.
...I don't see myself cutting it any slack. Besides, it's unfair to hold people to different standards based on seniority. (Don't even get me started on bloody tenure).
Anyway....
Regarding the review itself, it lacks a hook. The opening paragraph is very bland--you should never, really, have to write 'you can find out... after the break.' The goal of the opening lines, or 'hook,' is to grab that interest and make the reader want t...
Cool. There's one (and only one) reason for me to consider a 3DS.
Well, I say that, but no matter what I'll probably wait a few years to buy it, to let the library expand and to see which high-rated games stand the test of time.
My biggest disappointment with Atelier Rorona: Amazon didn't offer release-date shipping.
Well, not that I'll have much time to play it this semester, anyhow. Well, at least with the dual audio I'll have a chance to expand my vocabulary a bit--I'm not playing a game, I'm studying!
Then again, the stuff said in anime/games tends to be pretty useless...
On the one hand, I love the idea of a 'Persona' type game with a more mature focus... on the other hand, I'm reminded of how easily this could devolve into some shallow softcore porno.
