Wonder why an article about a game not on PS3 is in the PS3 section? Couldn't be flame bait could it?

Anywho I'm about 25% into ME2 so far - seems OK but not as good as I hoped - I think Bioware have skewed it a bit too far towards shooter and that is a crowded genre already...

Now it's a clunky TPS up against GeOW and UC2 and even Deus Ex if you want RPG/shooter hybrids.

Oh, and the graphics are still bad (bear in mind I'm playing the PC version).

I think I'll finish it, but at this stage I don't think I'm gonna jump on ME3 on release day :/

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest325d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

__SteakDeck__324d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic324d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

Asplundh324d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51325d ago

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos324d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz324d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183324d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh
