@alternate: Yeah, I remember that now. That doesn't mean I'm not curious as to what he thinks of the updates. I guess he may talk about it on the bombcast though.
I'm fine with this. Slightly disappointed that it's not Brad only because he reviewed the game on GameSpot. I was curious to see what he thought of this one. This is good though. Also, am I wrong in believing the PS3 version allowed for you to change the buttons? I remember being able to at least change the cross/square/triangle/circle buttons.
I don't know how far I got into this, but it was more than ten hours for sure; maybe 75 percent of the game. I liked it a lot when I played it on the PS2. I still have that version but it's not likely I'd ever play that version again. I was wondering if I should get this one. I think Okami might be the best game that closely resembles Zelda's formula. Pretty interesting that it came out the same year as Twilight Princess where you play as a wolf.
I would love an Endurance Run of this or the original game.
Why not both?
(They are very short)
I wouldn't mind seeing that but include all of them, not just To the Moon and this game. They're all connected and I think it'd make everything more effective.
I just went through this last night and into the early morning with my brother. I liked it, but not quite as much as To the Moon. It was perhaps more effective in its conclusion and the meaning of it all though. The game didn't actually become effectively emotional until the last two or so hours and it's about five hours. It also made A Bird Story more meaningful (also, it is very connected to A Bird Story; the guys mind you're getting into is the same kid that is in A Bird Story).
There are some good moments. I think the twist if you want to call it that, was pretty predictable. You'll be guessing as to what's going on, and I had three ideas very early on and one of those three came to be true. Oh, and the doctor is the same doctor from the first game, so I'm not sure if it's the 'family doctor'? The only thing I don't really care for in these games story wise is that it's about implementing fake memories before you die. I mean, why? I guess it's a nice notion, but is it necessary?
... My brother bought Nier at launch and beat it. I should probably play it, but I don't know. There's something that's just not grabbing me. I haven't played any of it and saw very little of it when he played it.
I'm not a super huge fan of the Star Wars films, so I personally probably wouldn't go see it in theater myself. My dad, on the other hand, being a Star Wars fan (saying the first is his favorite film ever), and us seeing them all together, I'll most likely see this one in theaters too. I'm still disappointed I didn't see Blade Runner 2049 in theaters... But hey! It's out digitally on Amazon by the end of this month! I can't wait.
