If you liked the other ones in the series, I assume you'd like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I had to choose between the two I would go Lost Oddysey.Lost oddessey is a great game. Its does have some characters that will bug you but it wasn't a deal breaker. Its a throw back to the playstation final fantasy days. I think its made by some of the original ff creators and the music is composed by the same dude also. If you like turn based rpgs its a good one. The story is average to good, nothing like some of the great rpgs, but there are like 28 or something long diary entries that are text only with composed music that are off the charts in quality. By far, the best writing in rpgs in a long time. Edited October 14, 2009 by madshot31 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevilsTrifecta 0 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'm currently playing Demon's Souls. So far, this game is absolutely awesome. If you haven't seen a review yet, it's basically Dungeons and Dragons on the PS3. It's also very old-school in the sense that there's no in-game pause and no checkpoints. If you die in a particular level, you go all the way back to the start of that level. And just about every enemy you encounter is quite capable of killing you if you're careless. I haven't played a game like this since when I had my Sega Genesis. It's not as difficult as many of the reviews have made it out to be, but it is definitely unforgiving and it never holds your hand. I have Uncharted 2 coming from Amazon next week, and I'm really wishing these two games had been spaced out more because I hate having to take time away from either.If you have a PS3, you should really do some research on this game and at least give it a rental to see if its for you.Curse you and bless you for this. I picked this up tonight and made myself stop playing just now. Very fun and quite difficult. I started over after Phalanx (and probably will many times to get a feel for all the classes). Main reason I started over, though, is cause I just kept going after getting to stage 1-2 and died and lost 7k soul points. Fun game! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Tasker 8,196 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Anyone played Wet? I had my eye on it after E3 because I liked the really over the top style, but it got mixed reviews. Seems like the big video game raters (IGN, etc.) didn't like it, but a lot of the people who actually purchased the game and played through it seem to like it. I tend to like the "innovative", if you can really call it that, style of certain games, even if the controls and story are somewhat lacking. Let's be honest, Mirror's Edge has very little story, and the controls can be clunky at times, and I still like it . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

safariplanet 1 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Operation Flashpoint 2- Very disappointed so far. The controls are not intuitive, the enemy AI is horrendous (A group of four soldiers walked 15 feet beside me. At first I thought they were reinforcements because they didn't even mind me.), and it might just be my slow computer, but the game feels unresponsive. Very reminiscent of SOCOM more than the original OpFlash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the beginning it's stylistically fresh, but the gameplay / level design is the same all the way through. I never got a sense the plot or gameplay was building towards something. In fact, I was slightly surprised when it was over, as I had no idea at any point that I was close to concluding the plot. Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that the storyline was uninspired, so I drank and jammed tunes through most of the game. Overall, I'd recommend it as a rental, but not a game that has multiple play-through potential. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IvanKaramazov 22,034 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Bioshock was awesome, but I'm really not sold at all on a sequel. Part of what made the game so great was how you had to piece together the backstory on your own to figure out everything that led up to your arrival at Rapture. That and the environment iteself. The actual gameplay was only so-so, especially considering how the game gets really, really easy around Fort Frolick or so. The problem with a sequel is that it's going to be extremely hard to come back with a similarly-engrossing story or a similarly-immersive environment. I'm worried that it's just going to be another iteration of "throw security bullseye on that guy and break a window." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From what I've heard so far (apologies if you already know all this), the story will again take place in Rapture (but you can go outside into the water now, to some extent); you will be the original prototype Big Daddy (the story revolving around how you came to be the first Big Daddy); a Little Sister who was left behind has now become a "Big Sister," which is essentially the equivalent of a Big Daddy from the first game; and you're a different guy altogether than the protagonist from the original (with no details at this point of what became of the hero from the original).

Steve Tasker 8,196 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Finished Mirror's Edge today. I recommend it if you're looking for a fun game to occupy ~15 hours of single-player. I can't imagine I'll be replaying it, but it was good. I'll buy the sequel if they make one.FIFA comes out tomorrow. I need to see what gets better reviews - PS3 or Xbox. I plan on picking it up on Friday, assuming I can find a non-reserved copy.So at this point, for me, it looks like....To playGears of War 1 - need to beat insane co-opGears of War 2 - need to beat insane co-op, co-op Road to Ruin, and AT LEAST get to level 50 (currently level 49)FIFA - will play the #### out of this game, PS3 or Xbox, like I always doBioshock - Xbox - just started the game, about 45 minutes in, will play a bitModern Warfare 2 - Xbox - preordered itMight buyWet - not sure PS3 or XboxMAG - PS3Bioshock 2 - if Bioshock is as good as everyone says, I'll be getting thisupdated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhino 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Both are still far off in the future, but I'm looking forward to both Diablo III and the new Star Wars Old Republic MMO. A good friend of mine is on the develpoment team for the Old Republic MMO and he's already promised me he's going to get me into the Beta as soon as they can start inviting friends. So I'm pretty jazzed up about that. Other than those, I'm still dinking around in WoW with what little gaming time I've got... waiting for the new expansion to come out there too.

That said, I don't really play FIFA online all that much - I tried it last year for the first week and a half that I had the game, and then quit because it sucked and played single-player for the next few months. I'll have to read the reviews. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Dweeze 23 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Anyone played Wet?I'll take the lack of responses to mean "no"...I usually know about many of the mainstream games but I have never even heard of "Wet."It kinda set up like it's supposed to be a grindhouse-style, 70s B-movie. Third-person perspective, heavy use of swords and guns.People nicknamed it "Kill Bill: the video game"...basically some chick who runs around with swords and guns and murders a bunch of people. It's intentionally really gory and bloody, with a really over the top Steven Seagal-type plot. I liked what I saw in the previews/gameplay - walking on walls, slowing down time, things like that.I heard the demo sucked, and a lot of people who played the demo never ended up buying the game. But I hear that the people who did buy the game were impressed, and said it's a lot better than the demo. I considered it when it came out a few months ago, but never bought it. When I was at the store looking for Bioshock, I was reminded of how I wanted to play Wet - I think it was discounted to $30 or $40. I'll probably buy it when I'm done working through Bioshock.i liked the demo.I thought the demo was cool as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steady Mooobin 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm not a big fan of pre-ordering. I HATE EB so I try not to buy games there. I usually get them at Target, so it isn't like they are any better, but I don't like EB's aggressive sales tactics. I've been buying games since the early 80's, I don't need to be lied to when telling me I need to pre-order or I won't be able to find a game. I would love to be able to go to a game store that doesn't employ nerds with ego's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
