Hmm, that God of War collection intrigues me, though I own God of War 3 and beat the first game already, but I never did play the PsP games or God of War 2. Might get the Ratchet and Clank Collection as well. I already beat Infamous 1 and 2 so if anything ill buy Festival of Blood some other time if i want to play it THAT badly.
Personally, I'm not too sure how I feel about this. I truly was a big fan of PoP 2008. It had a great sound track, extremely interesting characters and a story that was impactful. They definitely set that game up for a sequel and it pains me to see that Ubisoft is trying to go in a direction thats more suited to realism. I mean, I understand that Assassins Creed is insanely popular, but I've always prefered the magical stories of the PoP series. Not to mention I found the combat and platforming much more enjoyable in PoP than in AC. That said, at least theres a chance we'll see the series again, and hopefully they make a quality product.
haha, very unique review. Seems like they know what they are talking about.
i should say, laughed with
I never laughed at an ep so much. Rob's gay fantasy almost got me into a car accident
I personally think this would be a dumb move on SE's part, just because a lot of people looked to this game to make up for FFXIII. I was interested and would much rather this than XIII-3 (or even XIII-2 for that matter) but w/e...can't win em all.
damn that sucks...fortunately for you julian, i didnt go crazy at the game stores for pokemon cards, my parents didnt let me get too many of them. As for the games, I only got them on stuff like Christmas so I never actually went to the store for them. lol.
And @Michael, Blastoise is still and always will be my favorite pokemon, lol
Finally got around to listening. Good stuff guys, didnt know you all were interested in design. Common trend it seems. We should network sometime on that front.
Anyway yeah, as far as my history in gaming there's like a few different points. Early on I had a Sega Genesis and a Gameboy but I wasn't into gaming, mainly just characters so I was obsessed with Power Rangers games and stuff like that. I did play a lot of Sonic 2 though. I think my first turning point was when I was introduced to Pokemon Red and Blue. Like everyone else my age (i was about 8 at the time) I became obsessed to the point where I cried when my parents tried to take it from me once (i had just escaped Mt. Moon for the first time too...). I knew I loved games then, but I didnt know how much I would love them until I played Metroid Prime for the first time. When I saw that game, I knew I wanted to make games, but I wasnt sure how. It wasnt until I played games like Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia when I realized that I wanted to write game stories and create interesting gameplay systems.
Gaming is one amazing thing and like you said, Im personally in this one for the long haul as long as the industry keeps growing.
I agree with a lot of your points Jesse. To disagree first though, I felt that playing RE5 co-op made the game a lot more fun, but it still did sacrifice the tension that is supposed to come with RE. That said, the Lost in Nightmares dlc still scared me a bit...
Anyway going back to my original point its kinda sad to see a franchise like Dead Space get into the MP realm. I saw some of Dead Space 2's MP and while it wasnt bad, it was definitely unnecessary. I was under the impression that people liked Dead Space for its creepy single player, and to see EA add co-op to the series seems completely counter intuitive.
As you said though, theres a place for co-op in series that are designed for it, and I hope we dont see any more examples of this in the future. I mean, thats like saying "Hey, lets make Metroid Prime 4, but with co-op, and Samus has a new friend whose a bounty hunter too" That idea sounds so cheesy to me and takes away the whole point of being Samus. Lets hope that idea come to life, but we all can agree, a satisfying Single Player can be more than enough as long as its quality.
I agree with both you guys. That said, I wouldnt mind trading up if Gamestop has a promo for it, as long as i can transfer my data first.
