Well I am going to rub salt in the wound. I have yet to buy or play through it. So I get to experience it for the first time and you don't.

Journey has become a game that you have to play. How many other games are like that? I guess Super Mario 64, Pong, Chrono Trigger.

Then you see A:CM and think "Sweet! An Aliens game!" and buy it. Then you'll have to erase your memories all over again. Even worse, what if this has already happened?

So yeah, the New Call of Juarez game looks pretty awesome? I heard it's going to be a digital release too. I'm glad they went back to the old west, Bound in Blood is probably one of my favorite shooters despite the fact that the characters you play as are complete slime. Though, I'd really love to have an open world game set in the old west from the first-person perspective. There's a potential market for that. Redemption was really awesome but something that has better gunplay (like in Call of Juarez) and a lot more things to do (like Skyrim) would be a perfect game for me.

Is there any point to playing White Knight Chronicles 1 and importing your save? Should I just skip right to 2?

White Knight Chronicles 2 contains both games, don't even bother buying the original.

Never played Journey. I played the demo when it came out, but didn't buy it. What type of "amazing" is it though? Is there a big ending or twist, or just a series of really cool moments?

It's well made and gives a real emotional payoff. Unless you have no soul.

I'm worried about people setting their Journey expectations unrealistically high so I'm just chiming in to say that I put it down and left it halfway through.

RadicalR posted:Ha, I have yet to play Journey either! It's everything you feel/experience while playing it. It's not like Civ 4 with super deep mechanics. It does have cool audio and visuals, but other than that it doesn't have much going for it in terms of traditional game design. You have to play it, you can't watch it or have it described to you.

Journey is a really well made, beautiful game with an awesome soundtrack. The best thing you can do is go into it completely clean and without any expectations (which is hard I know considering all the praise it gets here) and what you get out of it in the end is pretty subjective. It's fairly cheap, not too long, pretty fun to play and to take in so there's really no excuse to not try it. There's also some replay value there if you're so inclined. The thread title should be PlayStation 3 Games Discussion: Go play Journey. Now.

Policenaut posted:White Knight Chronicles 2 contains both games, don't even bother buying the original. Definitely get 2, although be aware that after playing WKC1 you've seen like 90% of 2's content. The amount of dungeon retreading in the game is insultingly lazy. I genuinely liked the game though, it's got some entertaining cutscenes and a decent enough battle system, the characters aren't too annoying (apart from the racist-Indian-caricature rabbit things, they grate like hell) Personally, also, I'd just bomb through the story and maybe do a couple of side quests if you get stuck on a boss, because the game's really grindy and not in a fun way

Guys I just played through Journey! It was awesome! Yay!  I've had a PS3 for about 4 days and so far I pumped through Uncharted 2 and Journey and they've been two of the best games I've played in years. Now to get through Uncharted 3, LBP, inFamous and MGS4 before my little brother demands his console back.

Wow, I could probably create a huge list as to why this God of War game is so utterly crap. In short, however, I'll say that it feels like a game made for idiots. Everything is telegraphed, taking all of the suspense of discovery out. Step in to an area, The camera pans to show you the path you should take to the door. Every item has a goddamn glowing sparkle on it to indicate interaction. See this slidey ramp? Let's show you the whole path so you know that at the bottom you'll need to jump and swing. Oh but don't worry, we'll slow-mo AND give you button prompts when you get there. It all just feels like padding. SLIDE. FIGHT A LITTLE!. HEY SLIDE A LOT MORE! CLIMB THIS loving INSANELY LONG LADDER. WOOPS ANOTHER LADDER! HAHAH ISN'T THIS FUN?! I know these aren't problems inherent with this iteration of God of War only. But man, it just feels like someone put the C-Team on this over at Santa Monica Studios and said "You know what? We need some money. Can you just go put out a God of War game? Thanks!" Thank god I rented it. This game is just unengaging as gently caress. Even worse than 3. By a lot. And that's saying a ton.

Aphrodite posted:They did. Which is probably at least part of the reason ImpAtom posted:a new GoW came out and nobody seems to care. Of course there are other issues like the formula being well-worn at this point and GoW3 not lighting the world on fire (at least not outside the game) and GoW3 finishing the franchise etc etc. It's too bad -- I have platinum trophies in all three PS3 native GoWs, but really haven't been terribly psyched for this one. I'll probably pick it up cheaper later.

I mean, I looked back at my post, I sound angrier than I am. I'm not. I just think the game is moronic now. I know it's not THAT different than past versions, but it feels like they took the bullshit padding crap and just made a game out of it. Like trying to build a roast pig out of nothing but the fat-scraps. It just feels like monotony. Do this. Now do this. Now do this. No no, don't worry... no need to think, we're going to literally tell you every single thing you need to do and show you how to do it so that you can do it! All you have to do is just do it. Ok? Do it. Do it. Do it. Blah. At least the multiplayer is go...ahahahaha... nevermind. :p

Having played it for a few hours, it's the what, fourth prequel in this series, and it's the exact same loving thing. You could mad-lib your way through the God of War 3 thread and you'd have a perfectly acceptable GOW: A thread.
