I remember God Hand and Okami coming out right around the same time, both by now defunct Clover Studios. I played Okami at home, and then at my friend's place, we yucked it up with God Hand. Those two games couldn't be more different.
It's a good time to pick up a lot of games from this gen. There's lots of sales as retail is trying to get rid of old stock to make way for the new stuff.
I really like the new Killzone, but I'm not in a position to shell out so much money right now. I've got lots to do on PS3 still.
The goals are clear, but there's always something that goes wrong to mess it all up, and Vampirism is pretty easy to get. In three of the Guilds, I had to deal with Vampires. Two of them got me infected, one of which I cured right away, and I got it in the last one.
It's like, Bethesda wanted you to get Vampirism at some point in the game to give you something else to do, or make you change the way you play by staying a Vampire. If you don't want it though, it's a real pain in the neck. Hardy har har!
I figure each of the quest lines of each Guild takes about five hours or so. There's four Guilds, so that's 20 hours. Then there's the main quest which I'll start after doing the Thieves Guild. The guide I'm using says you can do all the major quest lines and the DLC in 25 hours. With all my screw ups, I'm probably gonna spend about 35 after all is done. So, it's not that long really if you stick to the main quest lines. There's a lot of side quests that net you experience or special items. I'm not doing any of those this time around.
Not long, but maybe long enough to get you to the Himalayas. Zombies freeze don't they?
Those Okami HD screen shots look great! I got the PS2 version, but I may pick this up.
I hear Wolf Among Us is pretty good too.
My history with Gears games is weird. I actually shunned the series for a long while. I didn't like the dude-bro macho attitudes and just thought it was another multiplayer shooter. However, one summer I started Gears of War 1 and found that it was a lot of fun single player and even better playing the whole campaign in co-op, not to mention Horde mode. From there it was right into GOW2 and then Cliffy-B's swan song, GOW3 - the best game in the series.
Those gunships didn't fare too well in the World War Z film I'm afraid. But really, that should be a good place to be in a zombie apocalypse.
I thought it looked better than Star Wars from only two years previous.
They're both great in different ways.
