So, I finished up inFamous: Second Son the other day. I enjoyed the game quite a bit and was able to 100% it on the first go. This is actually the one thing about the game that made me fall in love with it.
Most open-world games are just massive and require hours upon hours to finish, and then even more to 100%. inFamous: Second Son has a smaller scope and is a much more focused game than the GTAs and Assassin's Creeds of the world. My big issue with those other open-world games is the fact that they are large and long. By the time I have usually hit the 15 hour mark in a game I am ready to finish it.
Do not get me wrong, there is plenty of other stuff that drew me into Second Son. In fact, I would have never finished it had it not been for the story and cool super-powers. The graphics were also amazing. One final though on this game is this... I am glad that I played it, but I cannot say that I would have bought a PS4 just for this game.
Onto other things. I started Super Mario Galaxy again. I initially had some issues with the controls and still am wishing that I could play the game with a proper controller. Overall it is still one of my favourite Mario games, but it got me thinking about what I would love to see in a new Mario game...
The worlds in Super Mario Galaxy are huge. They don't really seem that way when they close off half of it to hunt for a specific star... which makes the levels actually fairly linear. Nowhere near as linear as Super Mario 3D Land had felt to me earlier this year. What is the point? I am hoping that Nintendo makes levels as massive as the ones in Super Mario Galaxy, but gives you free reign to explore the entire level searching for stars, along the lines of Super Mario 64.
If none of the previous paragraph made any sense... I want a good mix of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 64 for the next core Mario game. That is all that I have for now, I still have 56 more stars to hunt down.
I still love Sunshine. I don't care what anyone says.
And there's not a single game I'd ever consider spending $399.99+tax on, so there's not a single game I'd ever buy a console just to have. There needs to be at least a few titles I'm excited for if I'm buying a system.
I may actually tackle Sunshine next. I do have it lying about the house nowadays.
InFamous is one of the games I want a PS3 for though.
If Nintendo can pull-off the open exploration of 64 and epic set pieces of Galaxy, I think we would have a match made in heaven.
It would definitely sell me a Wii U, not that there aren't plenty of games that I want to play for it already.
I did like the original inFamous, or at least what I played of it. I actually wouldn't mind going back to play through them for the story.
Mario 64 was my gateway drug. Loved the open world exploration.
So, why haven't they made one like that recently. It has been nearly 20 years.
And people complain that they make games that are too similar ... oh wait, those people probably play New Super Mario Bros.
that's what I'm saying. I would love another game like that. I loved Galaxy, but I was disappointed there wasnt more exploration. Someday maybe they'll make something like that again, I hope.
I looooooved Galaxy and Galaxy 2. Although I agree the exploration wasn't there, they were definitely a callback to SMB3's short single-purpose levels, and I like that a lot. They should definitely try the more exploratory format again soon, though.
I still need to get all the stars at Luigi... I am pretty close. Think I have 4 left. Oh, and I never got all the green stars on Galaxy 2, also pretty close. Dangit!
My one brother got all but one of the green stars a while back. There was one level that was brutal and he nearly threw the wii-mote into the television... multiple times.
I've always meant to play the inFamous games. I got the first one at a yard sale for $2 and the second one from PS+ but I haven't jumped into either yet. And while I don't really miss the exploration in Mario games, I've never been one for big open worlds so... *shrug* I'll definitely be there for the next Mario game though.
I meant to say thank you. I probably wouldn't have started this game again if it hadnt been for that OCRemix that you posted the other week.
At the very least I would like more stars hidden through the normal courses. I cannot remember if Galaxy 2 fixed any of these desires. Maybe they did with the green stars.
I was wondering lol
I still need to play the first three Infamous games. I installed them on my PS3 but have yet to get back to them.
Still need to play Galaxy. My wife and I are interested but are afraid that it might be too much for us given that it's in 3D. Still over the 2D mario on our Wii.
