Zig commented on Ryan's Editorial review Ghostbusters: The Video Game 6:59PM
I'm not that into Ghostbusters so I'm pretty sure I'd find this game completely worthless.

    Probably the most replayable MGS. Sneaking through the jungle is just plain fun. Easily the most memorable characters in any game ever - The Boss, The Cobras, Young Ocelot - and each one is a blast to fight. Plus, the ladder.

    Nothing makes me happy like the thought of hardcore MGS1 fans excitedly getting their hands on MGS2 and then being confronted with Raiden after two short blissful hours of Snake. And then enduring long conversations with Rose about their relationship, while soft piano music plays in the background. The story is so insane, and its number of memorable characters is second only to MGS3 in all of gaming.

    Clawing dudes is fun, bub.
    You know what gameplay mechanic I hate?  Quck time events (QTE).  The one where they flash a series of buttons on the screen and you have less than a second to press each one, or you have to mash one button inhumanly fast.  I've been playing videogames for 15 years and I'm still completely unable to do these things.  Maybe I'm defective.  Whatever, my point is they ruin games for me.  God of War was one of the worst offenders, where practically every other enemy required a severe button-mashing and every boss involved several QTEs.

    So when I tell ...

    @Noia Sounds like you need a break from watching these videos.  Don't worry I'm sure they'll manage just fine without your help.

    Unfortunately having a mouse on the PC version doesn't make the game any less frustrating to play.

    I just feel sorry for the developers.  And when I say developers, I am not including Denis Dyack.  That man deserves all the negative attention thrown at him, and more.  But the rest of Silicon Knights are good, competent guys I'm sure, and their games aren't horrible despite having a horrible leader.

    I don't care about trophies or achievements.
    Added by zig on Aug. 5, 2008

    At least not in terms of wanting to earn them just for the sake of having them.  I appreciate them when they add interesting goals that extend the life of the game.  So I would go back and replay a game to earn trophies if they fit into that category.  But I'm not going to put in a lot of time on something just to earn a meaningless notch on the belt.

    It's kinda weird because before I bought a PS3, I was kinda into getting 360 achievements.  I guess having another system made me realize, oh yeah, this gamerscore number really means absolutely nothing after all.  I like that the Trophy system doesn't even try to trick you into thinking it means something to collect trophies.

    Please make less stupid mistakes when submitting content and information.  Virtually every page I visit has some major grammatical fuckups and/or inaccurate/duplicated information.  I don't think there exists enough people with enough patience to correct the sheer quantity of mistakes being submitted (and accepted by moderators which is another problem), so let's fix the problem at the source.  Please.  Thank you.

    Perspective from a simple minded person. (XBLM)
    This game is very colorful and there are many exploding things.  There's a lot of visual stimulus going on at all times.  It's very pleasurable, even when the gameplay is frustratingly hard.  I'm not very good at these types of games, and I don't think they're very fun.I want to ...

    Is it a good game? (PSN)
    The art design of this game is exquisite, and the gameplay is unique.  I appreciate what I think they were trying to do here.I enjoyed the first two or three gardens, once I got the hang of the gameplay mechanics, they were easy enough to be almost relaxing.  But as ...
