And to think, just last year this was a big 360 exclusive. o_o

FamilyGuy5397d ago (Edited 5397d ago )

Gives me time to play this just before UC2.
Too many good games o_O___

ActionBastard5397d ago

I find it entertaining that when the 360 "steals" last gen exclusive franchises (LOL!) it's on every website/blog about gaming. When the PS3 gobbles up damn near every CURRENT gen 360 exclusive, not a peep.

starchild5397d ago

Double standards make the world go 'round.... or something like that.

raztad5397d ago

So true Bastard, so true. Bloggers and sites out there never find exciting when Sony is the one getting 360 exclusives.

Nevertheless, I want to try this one but is so close to DS. If it's really good
I' ll get it later.

ActionBastard5397d ago

Demon's Souls will be purchased before this is, guaranteed. After playing the 360 version of NG2 and having it freeze and framerate dip (on the perfect, easy to program 360 no less), I can wait...but not long! The co-op missions look like a blast!

Traveler5397d ago

Get Demon's SOuls. You will not be disappointed.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 looks really good. I think the co-op modes alone will make it a must buy for many people, not to mention all the other extra content and improved graphics.

mikeslemonade5397d ago

The only must play exclusives so far on 360 is NG2 and Mass Effect. We got NG2 and it's a better version!

ActionBastard5397d ago

L4D or Mass Effect are next Mike.

mikeslemonade5397d ago

I guess you can make a case for L4D but the game is almost not a full $60 game. In Resistance 2 you can basically find the same experience.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 - 9/29
Demon Souls - 10/6
Uncharted 2 - 10/13

I'm screwed. :( and :)

Darrius Cole5397d ago (Edited 5397d ago )

Yes, I too, am screwed.
I will definitely buy the following three games with no chance of sacrificing either one.

1. Uncharted 2
2. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
3. Demon's Souls

I am also considering MAG, but I honestly may run out of money. I had already decided to buy Heavy Rain this year regardless of money, but they pushed it back. I have already decided to buy it next year.

That makes 3 or 4 games that I have decided to buy,....and I haven't even mentioned any of the multi-platform games.

I am seriously considering buying Tekken 6, Dragon Ball:Raging Blast (if it has online) and Dragon Age:Origins.

They were right to push back games into next year. I simply can't afford all of the games I want to play. On top of that I don't have time to play them.

ActionBastard5397d ago

Let's get together and make a screwed pot pie. My kids will just have to eat toothpaste.

Ninji5397d ago

I can't wait to play the superior (and final) version of the game. Meanwhile the xbots cry over beta testing the inferior version.

Lord Shuhei Yoshida5397d ago

LMFAO Stupid xbots getting owned again

The PS3 is the freaking bomb. No doubt about that.

starchild5397d ago

I am mainly a PC gamer, but I have to admit the PS3 is an amazing console.

Day one...day freaking one. O.O

Pre-order, day one, midnight release purchase.

ultimolu5397d ago

I may just preorder too.

This is how excited I am right now. o.o

No cryogenic sleeping to bypass the waiting? Shame on you.

DarkOcelet2999d ago

I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.

Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.

I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.

Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme

One of my proudest trophies :)

skcej2998d ago

yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)

kotaku772998d ago (Edited 2998d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19842999d ago

I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

kotaku772998d ago

Mortal Kombat 9
Star Ocean: The Last Hope International
Lost Planet 2
Far Cry 2
Wipe Out HD
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Super Street Fighter 4
Persona 4: arena
Raiden IV
NBA 2K16

Knushwood Butt2998d ago

+1 for Raiden IV

What is your best score in Overkill mode (online ranking rules) ?

kotaku772998d ago

I don't know what you're talking about

Knushwood Butt2998d ago

Raiden IV

Shhoting game

High score?

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

"Perhaps extreme difficulties are still here, just presented in different ways. Multiplayer focused shooting games (for the most part), have average (to-below) difficulty within their campaigns. However, jumping online and playing competitively can produce a welcomed contest." KJ of Play Legit Writes

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13303d ago (Edited 3303d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773303d ago (Edited 3303d ago )

So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.

It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.

breakpad3303d ago

eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy

bouzebbal3303d ago (Edited 3303d ago )

i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.

johndoe112113303d ago

Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?

This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.

From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.

freshslicepizza3303d ago

from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.

lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.

AngelicIceDiamond3303d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773303d ago

It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.

700p3303d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3303d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3303d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3303d ago

Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.

I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
