Samurai Sanders posted:Looking at the latest FF13-2 info makes me more and more hopeful for the game. It looks like you'll be doing some time traveling, and seeing the same areas in different time periods. Also there are QTEs in battles, which by themselves I am not so excited about, but they appear to be branching QTEs, which I don't see enough of in games. This sounds radically different from the first game and it actually makes me curious. They're using the game engine from the first game right? (but with a new battle system and all). The last game was gorgeous and it was a little sad they developed so many unique and beautiful assets only to make a corridor linking them all. It makes me think they really dicked around with the first game and when they had to release the game, they cobbled together something from what they had. But this? This sounds more of a labor of love than the first FF13 was. Edit: Can we get a 13-2 thread? I thought this game would benefit from one, and the main focus can be convincing people it's not the same as the first game and to turn people back into Final Fantasy after the disaster than 13 was.

Samurai Sanders posted:Yeah, that is seriously what I am thinking too. From interviews right after 13's release it is clear that they had the marketing people shouting a billion contradictory messages at them and it seriously rattled their brains and 13 is the result. Maybe now though they have calmed down a bit and can make a proper game. Also, combined with FF14 and they're having lots of financial issues, Squarenix is likely sitting down and going: Okay, let's get back to our roots, and have some very interesting changes and think from a GAMERS perspective. They know they need a real game this time, and while they're using the Final Fantasy name, I hope they now realize it's not enough to carry it. (also, I'm sure they've spent a fuckton of money on R+D for the game engine and they'll be damned if they use it for only 1 game, hence FF13-2 and maybe FF13-3.)

Samurai Sanders posted:I guess we've talked about this in this thread before, but an ideal situation is when the game delivers you story stuff while you are playing. I hope for a future where games never have a period of time where you just set your controller down and watch. Japanese games have the furthest to go in this regard but a lot of Western games are guilty too. Sounds like a mix of Uncharted and Demon's Souls. I mean, you can uncover more of the story if you read stuff like item description and get backstory, but like you mentioned later, they could use scenes like where you climb walls or cruise on a boat to talk/unfold the main story. Though, isn't the prime example of this: Half Life?

Shindragon posted:I think one of the reasons why RE5 gets flack is because of the co-op.It felt a bit forced.The levels were a bit so/so really. Not as crazy as RE4. Also Sheva is probably the most boring character in the RE universe ever. While it is possible to play without co-op, it would've been better if they never made Sheva. Nothing against her, she wasn't really needed. What are you talking about? Wesker was awesome! Just the right level of crazy madman insanity for the B+ movie of a game that RE5 was.

Because you can store all your last gen games digitally on one console that also has native wireless gamepads and trophies that make you feel good when you do something.

Talkc posted:Let's start with the 360 question. Nope. No 360. Never again. I had 2 break down on me over the time i had them ( from launch till late 2007 ). Between that and having to pay for stuff like p2p multiplayer, i flat out quit consoles for a while. Demon's Souls: This is easy to pick up for 19.99 or less. If you want to do multiplayer co-op, you can always skype/irc/instant message with someone and organize it so you can join each other's games. It's not that complicated. Also, you can use Demon's Souls as a limitus test for Dark Souls. If you can beat Demon's Souls and still enjoye dit, then get Dark Souls.

So amazon's got that deal on buy 3 games, get them for the price of two. Thinking about Arkham City and Rage. Any other choices I could make? I already have Dark Souls and unfortunately they're gonna end the sale before Skyrim or Saint's Row 3. I'd get Uncharted 3, but it just seems like it's not worth it if I was playing single player alone.

I'll never understand how people can rip on the story in Killzone because out of all the popular shooters today, I'd say that it easily has the best one. The talent GG has for crafting brilliant characters is fantastic. I thought Radec and Visari were handled excellently in the second game but well, god drat is Stahl a complete and utter bastard Man, I really need to get back into Killzone. Even worse, I just managed to trudge myself through Resistance 1/2. Do I need to play Killzone 1 to get the story or will I be okay picking up on my own with Killzone 2 and going to Killzone 3 when it gets cheap?

I guess after the sequels I'll pick up God of War and AC: Brotherhood to tie me over. Do you order games online? Amazon is great for this. Check up on SA's very own Video game deals megathread! http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2408877 Seriously, pay attention. You'll see a game like Deus Ex: Human Revolution have a deal for a few days for 35 dollars not even a month after release. poo poo, Uncharted 3 is 40 dollars right now and it's been one month and one week after release.

Samurai Sanders posted:Well, I'm not really interested in opinions, I am interested in a few objective facts about whether it is different than 13, and one of them is whether it has real dungeons that you can wander around and get lost in, or fake ones that are actually just a corridor. At least a few of those maps look get-lost-in-able, but those kinds of maps may be in the minority, I dunno. Let's keep our preorders for the game in high expectations. You and I will stand tall in order to try it firsthand and deliver high quality testimonials to all the other goons. Also, they must have at least LEARNED something from the last game. the cat is my only family!

EC posted:I like it. Games come within a few days, assuming it's not a big new release. You can get those on release date if you game the system by clearing your queue. I love buying used games through them since they always come with perfect packaging and whatever online codes were originally included. I've only had one game not work, and they sent me a replacement quickly. Yeah, the biggest issue is that you have to game the system if you want to play new releases on the same week. Obviously they'll be in huge demand for people to play. Used sales rock. Since they only mail out the disc, packaging, manual and codes are all there. If you tend to buy a game or two a month, and you want to supplement that with whatever you want to try, Gamefly is useful. If you only depend on it for all your games, you're gonna want to do something in between mailings.

Dominic White posted:As a pointer device, the Move is slightly weaker. The Wii remote basically works like an optical mouse, only instead of bouncing its own infra-red light off the surface below it, it sees the distant dual infra-red dots from the sensor bar. Thanks to you and PSN for clarifying it. I thought since the setup requires a PS Eye camera, it would generally be better than the Wii, but it looks like it comes down to software issues again. Maybe if I see it all on sale a year or two later that'll be the time to pick it up.

What was in the demo anyways, allows you to talk to NPCs, but it's just one sided conversations and they are pretty 2-dimensional. You'll see for yourself when it shows up on PSN Store in a few hours. Or if you have an Xbox 360, you can get the demo right now. But there are diverse and robust conversation choices now like... The cat is my only family! (Still not expecting much out of this game and to be honest, it might be the last final fantasy I play)

Chard posted:This looks like it could be fun, maybe even scratch the itch If it actually could live up to a third of what Dark Souls was, it'll easily have tripled the number of sales than if it was your standard action-rpg (like Venetica or whatever) Dark Souls seemed to have been a smashing hit last year (considering the genre) and I mean with more than just the goon crowd. Also, just from watching the trailer, the graphics seem sort of similar to Dark Souls, and you can tell the gameplay is sort of like Dark Souls and not something like Fable. I wouldn't be surprised if this was developed internally after Demon's Souls and they wanted to have a competing product. I'm sure the difficulty won't live up to what Dark Souls was, but for general gameplay similar to it, and boss fights a little more on the scale of SotC and you get Dragon's Dogma.

Climbing around on giant enemies and keeping them busy while your teammates fill them with arrows looks awesome. I'm loving all the Dark Souls vibe I'm getting from it. No other game set to release this year has produced such a feeling.

At this point the only thing that would make me get a vita is a portable Demon's/Dark souls. Persona 4 interests me, but I don't see why it has to be on Vita and I'm already sort of spoiled on it thanks to the anime. I'd literally give $100 to a King's Field package with all 4 games, better controls, and better textures.
