wanted to post thia video but I couldn't find it at time of my posting. I want to replay it over and over. thank you for recaping in better detail than I on the utter curbstomping we witnessed.
nope, I agree with the complete trash statement. Why? it's simple: PSN Pass. That alone ranks it very low on my list. That reminds me, I need to do a write up on that game...
I would be too if they decided to go that route as well. After seeing the PSN Pass I didn't leave anything to chance, thus the choice for this game in my "Online Pass Watch" series, plus the talk of the offered DLC for a mario game. It is a bit of a dissapointment that you have to pay to have your old VC purchases transfer over from your Wii to your Wii U, but it's better than not being able to transfer them at all a la Xbox 360 XBLA titles to Xbox One.
If nintendo does indeed stick to their roots, while slowly opening the door for online digital distrubution I might be included to buy a Wii U before I consider an Xbox One/PS4.
I sad to. But it makes me wonder why he's calling it quits thus far. he's been my favoriate doctor of this new relauch to date. But I have to admit he has been looking a bit haggarded as if he's not getting enough rest or something. I hope he's not sick.
The natural progression of things. That is something I'm having a hard time trying to wrap my head around. I kieep wanting to ask why anyone would want a console that is being offered with the Xbox One, yet I'm find mind more and more people who are actually open to this reguardless of the unknowns given at the xbox reveal. I guess for me is if this is truely the natural progression of things to come, I am not sure if I'm going to go along with this natural progression and find something that better fits my wants and likes. the natural progression just feesl iike a step backwards in some aspections when taken into account the user options that we've come to expect with console gaming. If I want all that is offered with this new system I have to say goodbye to the old method of used games? Resign myself to making sure my internet is relyable (when in my area it's not always the case) and that possibling in a few years my Xbox One will be no better than a high priced paperweight if and when Microsoft discontinues support for it in favor of their next big system. Even if they do have a long term plan for the Xbox One it will comes to an end eventually before my lifetime.
I have to agree that the builds of the Xbox One and PS4 were never intended to take down PC builds like alienwear or their like. it's just something that never occured to me that we'd see our consoles appear more to PC's in their construction. I'm to use to the console makers making their own chipsets like Sony's Cell Processing and using program gobetweens that help PC games to transistion to consoles easier, instead of actually using a PC chipset. Natural progression I'm sure but still something I can't quite accept yet.
Even if both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 are gulity of trying to be a multimedia set up, they did it as if it were an after thought. I've read reports on how some blu ray players were better compared to the PS3 in refresh rates and audio quality. And some the first builds of the systems internet explorer and youtube integrations were not all the best. But like I said, they seemed to be offered as an afterthought than an actual push to be a center feature of the system. Indeed they never downplayed these features, infact I can be held guilty in choosing my PS3 for multimedia functions like DLNS connection, Divx, blu ray and netflix. But I never forgot and always used the system it was originally intended to be: a game console. Everything else is just gravy to me, good gravy I taste every now and then but hardly the reason why I bought my B/C model PS3.
Now if this will signal the beginning or the end of the games console remains to be seen. You won't see me bash the system just yet for indeed it will have games involved. You won't see me bemoan the addition of nongaming applications like facebook, twitter, skype, Ustream, multitasking functions, music/video/tv streaming and digital distrbutions. It'll be how they fully intergreate these into a games console, along addressing the natural progression of the old guard of games, is where I'll save my breathe
I have to admit I didn't bother trying to play this game or any of the games series hence forth. I'll admit I let the game's cover art make me judge harshly with the game. The only time I actually considered trying out this game was when I heard Working Designs was trying to bring a PS2 version of this game over. If they wanted to bring it over then they had to be onto something I thought.
I played the first game long ago as a rental and I do remember walking away from it generally suprised. Aya Brea didn't wow me in the looks department but I did find the story and combat interesting to be out of the norm when it came to standard RPG's of the time. I liked the modern setting and how her attacks were done with a varied form of ATB type RPG actions.
thanks for reminding me to keep an eye out for this game during my retro game hunts.
When I read all of this I was thinking of a possible Dan Brown novel where the secret society called themselves the Fifth Angel. the first book kinda reminds me of the Mack Bolan novels I read in my youth as well, when no one thought foreign terrorism would ever touch our shores...
Gimme!
That is all I have to say at the moment.
Yes that we can. I love my used game options and retro play in the future than the next guy I hope. But I am a little shocked to learn that the Xbox one will not support past XBLA titles. That was something I didn't expect. I bought XBLA titles thinking they would be able to carry over given they were distrubted thru Xbox Live, a service that's been the pinnical of console gaming. It would be like if a PC gamer bought a new Rig only to find out Stream doesn't support it! Oddly it's one of the reasons why I stopped buying Virtual console games on my Wii for I was thinking those titles wouldn't transfer to their new system. Never thought those situations would be reversed!
I have to admit I did enjoy the few steam titles I own, okay just one (Portal) but it was for free and that was one of the games I couldn't get to work on a gamepad, thus why I bought Portal: still alive on XBLA. But I have been curious about Fallout 1 and 2 ever since I played Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
Price point has been another reason why I stayed with console gaming, it was cheap for a kid like me back in the day trying to buy a system when all I had was part time job money to save up with. Glad you liked the bog BrokenH, it was something I had to get off my chest after seeing all that was in the xbox reveal.
