Thanks a ton for all the info.
I...just.... I just can't stop myself from wanting to buy it. I have heard that it's pretty much broken from many sources and I've seen the evidence in videos from late in the game when dozens of cheap enemies can easily back you into a corner and stomp you as you try to stand back up. I can tell it's not a 'good' game but dammit I want it.
As a lifelong zombie nerd with a Japan obsession I just don't think I can avoid buying this game. I did play the...
MGS does have some serious cheese and broadly drawn characters but it still manages to get under your skin and once it does you'll see just how much heart and imagination is in those games. This current batch of hipster indie games on the other hand are becoming so fucking cliche. How many more contrived 'retro' games with visuals like a Mr. scruff video (seriously, Google Mr. scruff and tell me you're not looking at almost every Indie game out right now) can we have until thi...
They're talking as if they're Kubrick adapting The Shining to the big screen and getting shit from nervous executives. Turning the lead character into a Jonas brother to grab that tween demographic money is not some great artistic vision you just have to stick to despite what the fans say.
It stinks and I don't like it.
I like the modern take on point and click gameplay but I hate the cutesy Back to the future art style. I really hated the -video spoilers- part where the cop zombie just dived up at him it just shows that yet again a game has failed to get zombies right and failed to realise that sometimes less is more. It would have been faaaar scarier if the zombie started to wake up slowly and slowly pull itself upright but instead we have to go for the big teenybopper popcorn movie 'shock!' where ...
Sell the sickness, then sell the cure.
Well I have to admit, I started watching Star wars at the fourth episode too. Don't worry about me anyway, part of the joy of drinking a lot while gaming is not remembering anything that happened in anything you played. I have vague memories -MGS4 spoilers- like, I know Darth Vader confronts Snake in the graveyard at the end but I don't remember anything that was said between them.
In a hundred years Kojima will still be making games and he'll still look 16 years old only his hair will be pure white.
Ugh. Listen, sons of the comic book guy from The Simpsons. I'd just bought a PS3, didn't own a PS2 and MGS4 had just been rated 10/10 by most sites. I'm not going to buy a defunct game system just because a highly rated game had prequels released on it.
I'm not afraid to admit I was a little choked up by the end of this game, I would be afraid to admit it if not for the sweet sweet anonymity of the Interweb though. I just wish I'd remebered the names of the two people I shared the Journey with, they didn't show up in my recently met list and whichever one of them left or arrived while I was taking one of my many leaks through this playthrough I still feel like I shared an important experience with them.
Snake eater..... I can't even... Damn. I think what I'm trying to say is that I'm working my way through the Metal gear solid collection in the order the games were released, I'm right at the end of Snake eater right now and I'd put it right up there as one of the greatest games of all time.
I'm not even a longtime Metal gear devotee, in fact until recently the only Metal gear game I'd fully played was MGS4 and I didn't really care for it (I a...
Half-life 2 is easily the most romantic game I've ever played. It may contain more alien crab headed zombies and less melodramatic conversation than Pride and prejudice but the bond the game builds between Gordon and Alyx goes way beyond your typical 'romantic interest' in a game for me.
Well said. I'd put Mirror's edge in the top spot for most underrated game of this generation. I don't even agree with the majority of it's fans that it was a flawed gem, I think the flaws were pretty minimal considering how daring the idea of it was. Also I have to agree that this game is just aesthetically amazing, from the clean neo-Tokyo vibe to the perfectly suited music I just loved the art style, it reminded me of anime back when anime was about philosophical cyborgs and...
The gaming world as a whole does need to move out of the 80's creatively with it's cliche characters and plots (which it won't do until gamers stop praising every other cheesy cornball story as the deepest most intelligent thing they've ever seen) but it's certainly possible for a game to provide every bit of emotion and intelligence that any movie could give you while still remaining a game and not some general 'interactive experience'. The Portal series is a good...
To be fair the first one looks like the body of a redneck meth addict and the second looks like an orangutan.
Maybe he's right, I'm a gamer and I can't look at his picture without wanting to put him in a headlock and shave him by force, which is probably a prick move.
I'm currently playing Jak 2 from the Jak and Daxter HD collection and wow, sorry if this sounds like blasphemy but boy is it not fun. The first game was some good pure platforming even if I would rather it had more of a story to hold it together and less of an item collecting grind it was still enjoyable. The second game though, man.. Talk about a textbook case of trying to do far too much at once. I was actually looking forward to that one the most as I love anything set in a Blade runne...
They should've realised they'd been playing far too many games when their eyes turned to pixels.
Holy shit, can we get SOMETHING this year please?
