I swear GTA4 had a little pop-up message on the phone going "Oh yeah if you need some alone time then just go into the phone menu and change this setting" or something. The biggest problem GTA4 had, gameplay wise, was with its checkpoint system. Jesus, how did it take so long for them to do something Saints Row had down pat?

the_american_dream posted:Now the complaint about the lack of variety in missions is a different story They need to get a little more creative. I felt like half of the missions were you doing a drug deal or a dropoff or something, but get this: the deal went bad! Just once I wanted to plunk down the duffle bag full of coke, have the dude be like "Great, my coke! here's the correct amount of money!" and we both go our separate ways.

The New York City simulator part was great, but the game part was lacking, especially compared to San Andreas.

Welp had 20 minutes free and ran to Best Buy for my copy of Dead Souls. Anyone know of a PS3 emulator that'll run on a Core2Duo Dell workstation?

Shouldn't journey be in the na store now? It still say pre order but I thought it was supposed to come out today. Also, those RE rail shooters are pretty good. I'd say $30 for both is a great deal (I think my rommie paid $50 each for them) if you have a move. They would suck without it like all rail shooters. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Mar 13, 2012 |

The Store hasn't updated yet but I noticed they took down the preorder for Journey. That led me to search the Store for Journey and I was able to download it. If you've preordered it, you can now download it from the PS+ section of the store even if you don't have Plus. Go get it!

I dunno if I can pay $15 for a game only a few hours long, no matter how good it is. Also I have a terrible track record in finishing even the best downloadable games.

Add me to the list of people not wanting to pay $15 for a really short game that probably has zero replayability. I'll just wait for the inevitable "best of 2012" sale next year.

So let me see if I'm understanding, because I'm a little confused, maybe... you're not liking that it's short. but you're not known for finishing long games. and you never finish games in one sitting. Are these statements accurate? Because (my rebuttal): Have you ever gamed for more than 2 hours in a segment? Because you can finish this game in about that long. You will also feel like it's worth it, (at least I believe you will.) And also you technically don't HAVE to do it all in one sitting. I didn't and it didn't really harm the experience.

Journey is cool and all but for $15 you could do way better. It's awesome though. Play it! vvv I wish everyone thought like that.

Personally I don't give one poo poo about length; that's what leads to 80 hour RPGs that go on forever with no pacing. If a game is five minutes long but those five minutes are really really good, I consider that a really really good game.

$15 is about the price of a movie ticket here. Assuming Journey lasts about as long as a movie, I can't see how I wouldn't get my value out of it assuming it's an excellent experience. It really weirds me out that the only thing people care about when buying games is the hours on the clock.

Well obviously you are entitled to do what you want. I just think it's unfortunate. You're missing out on something very special. [edit] And I really don't mean that to sound snarky or judgmental.

However, there also aren't any new games I really want coming out until late may (Dragon's Dogma). Once I'm done with the few I have going right now I might need to go back and look at some games I missed. Or maybe Ninja Gaiden 3 will turn out okay, I dunno. I heard you can turn QTEs off, but I dunno if that means it replaces them with real combat, or just replaces them with a non-interactive cutscene.

I am notoriously cheap about buying games and tend not to buy anything at full price. However, I shelled out $15 for Journey gladly and it was well beyond worth it in my opinion. Yes, Journey is short (it took me about 2 hours to beat) and it might not have incredible replay value, but those 2 hours were an experience that was easily worth the asking price. Journey is beautiful and masterfully crafted, and I think it's definitely worth playing for anyone who likes video games as an expressive medium. I won't say that everyone will like it, because I'm sure many won't, but I can't find a single thing to complain about it. To me, it was immersive, emotional, introspective and enlightening all at once.

I paid $15 to go to an art exhibition last weekend, and it only took me less than an hour to see it all! What a ripoff, I don't even get to go back again for replay value.

Even though I liked journey, am I the only one getting sick of "art" games? I used to buy every single one possible but nowadays I'd rather play more gamey games. Dark Souls has a better artistic approach and general stmosphere than most surrealism influenced art games and it has excellent gameplay. I enjoy playing MW3 more than I do experienced some "beautiful surreal journey". I don't know whether the trend is just losing steam or if my tastes are evolving and changing. Probably both. When it comes to art/surrealism I stick to movies and well, art. Kilometers Davis fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Mar 14, 2012 |
