Haha, surprised coming from you Broken since you've been an XBOX360 person in the past; but not so surprised given your recent blog regarding XBone (lol). Think Microsoft turned a lot of Microsoft fans into Sony fans in two fell swoops (with their two XBone reveal conferences, lol). Well. Sucks to be them.
Spark does indeed look awesome; sort of forgot to mention it. I think it's great more for fans who are into game design and Indie developers, but for me personally, perhaps not so much...!
It's more just the concept of the game I'm excited about, Joe. The premise just sounds fantastic. I also kind of like the action-y spin on the game; changes things up a bit. Plus- the game is beautiful. I cannot believe it's a video game, looks like a movie.
I understand about the exclusives; but we'll have to let Sony wow us with exclusives once developers jump on board the system (aka once they realize that gamers like it better, lol)
Nintendo is just a little bit 'boring' at the moment, in my opinion; you know, they just keep focusing on the same old series, most of their games are slated for 2014, they really haven't taken advantage of the year 'advantage' they've had over Sony and Microsoft since they released the Wii U earlier. Anyways. Just ranting.
Agreed. Microsoft just keeps slapping gamers in the face. I. am. so. done with them. Period.
I especially agree with points:
-1 (that was an extremely ignorant thing for them to say. Worst quote ever; besides that weird little bit of back and forth during the Killer Instinct demo at the conference, which was so messed)
- 7/10: restriction on used games kills me. I just don't get it, at all.
- 8: Yikes, I do NOT get the need to constantly connect to the internet. Being a JRPG player mainly, and not ascribing to the MMO gameplay inherent in a lot of FPS games, its just plain backwards. Plus the whole potential for Big Brother like spying and such. Just.... bad idea.
Nice :D Imma fan of Uematsu and Meguro myself, but Go Shiina is pretty awesome too!
Sorry Cary, although I do love the composer.... Go Shiina FTW
Absolutely, I 100% agree. Lalabit collectors edition already announced for Japan, so just waiting on the collectors ed announcement for NA/Europe :)
All good titles Broken! Espec Crisis Core; have fun :)
I'm kind of angry we never got the PS3 version either; especially with all the additional stuff that was added to the game (additional character- Patty; extra costumes; more scenes etc). So that was definitely a downer, although I believe Baba has renewed his faith in the North American/European market.
I could go on forever about Xillia and Xillia 2 since I love both, but main point: both are great games, but 2 edges out 1 just because you get the original cast, a couple of extra characters from the original and a few awesome new ones; plus plot is a bit better imo :) Can't wait for august 6th!
