Wow that had a really low budget vibe to it, is this series in the same vain as the doctor Who series where the script writers seem to put actual effort into making as little sense as possible?
@Hitchenson: [socom looked awkward] What had me laughing was that they tryed to make it look competitively viable.
I'l hand them the fact that it looked way more accurate and fluid than i would have thought before the show but they should never have it compete directly versus a regular controller thats just asking for trouble. How much is natal's input lag at atm ?
There are superior individual games out there (depending on your tastes afcourse) but as far as official collections go this is the ultimate version.
I would not expect anything to beat this collection of 49 complete retail games any time soon. Personally i bought this game just for shining force I and II everything else is just a bonus.
Read some eviews on this game recently and they all say its worth playing just for its sheer uniqueness alone. The game is constantly messing with the players mind where you wont know what you are doing is actually for the good or evil for a major portion of the game.
" To me it is like Assassins creed vs. Assassins creed 2. Assassins creed you had to find everything yourself where AC2 walks you through it. I like AC2 because of that. "
In ACII it was left bothersome and artificially lengthening because there simply was nothing worth finding out there. One might argue Shadow of the colossus's world is boring and desolate but it still has tons more "secrets" worth discovering than AC did even without quests or extra items. While highly detailed and developed as AC was it was still seriously lacking in the artistic factor what is supposed to make the exploration fun, simply wanting to see more of the world rather than collecting 200 flags.
FF games always had little hidden areas that did little more than help bring the world alive and making it feel more dynamic by introducing these "hidden" NPC's going about theyr own merry life's and watch them change theyr dialogue as you significantly alter the world through your adventure and then there were the mini games. gradually unlocking the next step in transportation felt like a achievemnt etc.
The 360 is supposed to be tons easier to program for than the PS3 so i wouldn't expect any differences as big as would they have swapped the two about.
Well isent it obvious the lead platform is gona look slightly better than the port?
Besides isent it pretty much rule of thumb that you will only find doctored photos on the official site of any "next gen" title these days? thats why we have sites like gametrailers and whatnot hosting theyr own comparisons.
Even the back of the box usually only shows in-game images taken from the lead platform despite the image obviously being too small to make out any detail. Just shows how self conscious PR folk are.
There are about 4 games coming out just this march i plan on buying but i make it a personal goal to get games at theyr lowest possible pricepoint.
There are tons of bargain hunters websites focussed on games that do nothing more than keep track of the cheapest places to buy. I'm not short on cash at all but as my backlog keeps rising it just feels futile to spend 60 euro early when i can have the exact same experience for 20 later down the road. Also i get a good portion of entertainment and satisfaction from the hunt itself and knowinng that there are still games on my wanted list as opposed to feeling like the theres nothing left playing for the coming months.
This is probably the part where you look at me funny and laugh
edit: For european gamers seeking to buy new games i can highly recommend axelmusic.com they only charge 40 euros for the newest games as opposed to the default pricing of 65 euros, Shipping is like 2 euros. With over 12 seperate gamepurchases and counting i have yet to run into any trouble buying from them. - I'd wish they would standardize pricing between western countrys more it seems like euro's have to pay 30% extra on everything in local stores VS importing these days.
Well not taking drugs will negatively affect QTE so it only makes sense that taking them is also a double edged sword
Going so far as ODing is a pretty specific game event considering its pretty hard to do this by accident so very unlikely unless it happens under extreme conditions. From a gameplay perspective it would make sense for people to eventually find out your drug abuse from your behavior making you lose important contacts - Edit: i believe recalling in a article you can die from mixing alcohol with drug abuse, consider being stupid one of these extreme conditions :)
I'm still waiting to see how much of the heavy rain freedom is hot air, complete freedom is impossible by design In indigo prophecy for example you could completely change around how a "scene" played out but the total picture was completely linear only altering the fine details within a predetermined route.
