Getting good 15 hours in? Sounds like Final Fantasy XIII. Does this mean Reckoning will get as much hate? Somehow... I doubt it :P

Personally, I've got serious doubts about Reckoning - the combat is the only thing that I found interesting about it. The story seemed as generic as anything I've seen in a long time.

I may still pick it up - if I find myself sufficiently bored. Though with February looking more like a November, I doubt that's going to happen.

Probably 7-9 hours into FFXIII-2 myself, and I like it so far. The timetravel seems fine, though it seems rather simply handled. Some weird language/mechanics (like "Close Gate". I understand what it does now - but it's not intuitive, especially not as I was able to do it before the game informed me that I had unlocked the ability to Close Gates :P).

It's neither revolutionary or ground breaking, probably won't convince people who despised XIII, but I enjoyed XIII and most of it's characters.

Looking forward to digging deeper into this during the weekend. :)

@pornstorestiffi: To be fair, he might not have paddles.

Then again, to me, playing assault without paddles would be INSANE. Love dem paddles. Even if they make me do stupid things when I see someone getting shot down :D

This sounds a lot more positive than a lot of other things that have been said about THQ lately, but I guess that may just be the facts of earning calls (especially ones as grim as these) needing to have a positive spin.

Either way, I think THQ has been making a lot of bold moves, and several of their games have deserved to sell better than they did.

*shrug* I'll continue recommending people to pick up SR:3, Space Marine, etc. Also, pst, I don't think Red Faction: Armaggeddon was as bad as some people are making it out to be.

Origin Systems. Bullfrog. Troika Games... I guess.

Looks to me like they took a lot of risks - the biggest one, and probably worst, most likely being getting rid of their apparently lucrative kids games' division.

Also, Red Faction: Armaggeddon is not as bad as people try to make it. It's disappointing after Guerilla, but far from a bad game. If anything sunk that game, it's it's reputation, not it's quality.

(No, I'm not saying it was amazing either).

Hope they pull out of the hole, I'm looking forward to several of their upcoming games and franchises. Shame, but I guess that's the price of over-reaching :/

Man, Ghost Trick is so good, I might consider buying it again.

Wasn't there talks of a sequel one at some point?

Tried it out because it was all the rage.

Didn't find it very noticeable, but wanted to at least get to max-level before I wrote it off. But apparently they don't like my credit card, so I guess I'm not playing it anymore?

Besides, it's still a WoW clone with a coop-KotOR tacked on. And for my money, the coop-KotOR bits are the only really interesting parts - imagine if they'd just made that, insteade of adding on all this MMO BS?

Crazy!

I dont expect an article on this site about any problems with the 360 though because you know.

Uhm.

Number 2

Anyway, yeah, sucks that this is happening. :/

For me, nah. Though, by the time I heard their hyping, I was already deeply entrenched.

Funny though, as much as I love Saints Row: The Third, I cannot stand the GTA games. (And I was pretty sure I'd hate SR3 too).
