All those games sucked anyhow. Better off they remain forgotten.
I started playing Dark Souls again. Still a really fun game. Since I know whats coming this time I’ll make sure me and muh spear are buff enough to face the last boss guy. Last time I played I wasnt buff enough and I didnt feel like grinding all crazy so I just stopped playing.
Dark Souls 1s final boss loses to parrying for free.
I thought Twin Snakes was ok. Not a fan how SK remade the game but it was a fun ride. A friend of mine likes to joke that Twin Snakes is how Snake tells the story of how shadow Moses went down and thinking about it that way makes it a little more enjoyable.
Apart from the dumb shit like rocket riding, Twin snakes’ biggest issue is that basing the remake off MGS2’s gameplay rather than just doing what Capcom did for RE1make, having access to first person aiming completely breaks the levels and arguably some of the boss fights, since the original game was built with the top-down (well…mostly top-down) view in mind, be it the enemy placement, obstacles, and so on. It severely lowers the game’s difficulty
Funny thing about the rocket riding and such is that Ryuhei Kitamura (known for stuff like that) was going to do cutscenes closer to the original game. Kojima himself said for Ryuhei to put his style on it, and approved everything submitted after that too.
Finished my first run of Streets of Rage 4, it is the best beat em up game I have played in a long time. The stages are reasonable in length, the boss fights are fun and it was great pulling off combos on a tough enemy. The character selection is great, though I am hoping for DLC of Roo and SOR4 Max.
Just wanted to drop a quick note that I finished Uncharted 1 today and almost immediately jumped into Uncharted 2
Holy shit the jump in quality and scale from the get go is astonishing
I played through the guest house in Resident Evil 7. I had the lights off and the volume up and that shit scared the FUCK out of me.
I don’t know about this game.
Yeah, U2 is much better than the first. On a scale that’s almost embarrassing. You’re in for a treat.
Hahaha, let us know when you get about 2 hours in.
@sonicabid check ebgames when you can. SoR4 is going to be released physically at GameStop as well on 7/21. I imagine EBgames will follow
Uncharted 2 the GOAT of the Uncharted series and one of the best if not the best flagship PlayStation games.
Yea Uncharted 2 is fantastic. Amy Hennig and ND running on all cylinders.
I remember Phil canceling alot of single player games as he wanted to focus gaming as a service. Faith in Spencer is lost.
This is a joke. Anyways Sony already supports cross buy.
No applicable
A dollar short and a day late.
That didnt work for MS before.
The Xbox consoles never sold well in Japan.
And how the Xbone got released in Japan was seen as an insult
It’s been made plainly obvious to me that you have an irrational hatred of the Xbox brand for some reason. No console manufacture is clean. They’ve all done terrible things. That said, I’ll waste my time anyway.
If you are going to “cancel” the brand because dude made a mistake you need to give up gaming. Nintendo and Sony have done a lot of dirt. Hell MS’s initial console strategy was taken from Sony.
Sony hasn’t said anything about cross buy for PS5. That haven’t said a lot of things. Until they say anything, it’s just an assumption.
Tell that to people, like me, that still have Xbox and Xbox 360 game discs. Not sure how anyone can rationally put forth an argument that console supporting four generations of games is a bad thing.
No it actually did. The 360 sold well enough in Japan that Japanese 3rd parties released their multiplatform titles in the region. The XB1 in contrast has sold so poorly that games, that are multiplatform elsewhere in the world don’t get release in the region. The 360 had MS strongest, non UK, presence in Europe due to a healthy selection of Japanese games.
Goes back to my earlier point. The 360 was niche platform in Japan but sold well enough to warrant support. From developers of the region. Having Japanese games isn’t just about Japan, there significant portions of the gaming public out side of the Japan that are fan of traditional Japanese still games. Ignoring that not only hurts the platform in Japan but globally. The Xbox One is testament to that. The system sold well in North America and the UK but bombed everywhere else.
Narrowly making assumptions about companies irrespective of facts hurts gaming on the whole. Twice of in my gaming like I’ve JRPGs bitch about the lack of genre because they bought the platform of their choice (N64 and PS3) blindly based of the previous generation. While things finally turned around for the PS3 in the second half of it’s generation. It never did for the genre on N64. This wholes to true for gaming censorship as well. Nintendo has been the most lax of 3rd Party game censorship going back to the N64. Yet people still act like its 1993 and Mortal Kombat has sweat instead of blood. People that like quirky Japanese titles should have a Switch because Nintendo is letting the games be. While Sony has become increasingly draconian with their censorship.
This is me right now. I think I’m almost done? Chapter 15 on the first Uncharted.
Pretty cool game. The jet ski sections are my favorite. The cinemetagraphy in this game is really cool and some of the sections to show the scale of the heights you are at really well done.
The shoot-outs are cool. I like the two-weapon system, ala Halo, as it makes switching easy and ammo preserving something to think about.
It also pushes the offensive to get more/different weapons/ammo.
The shoulder switching is a cool touch as well.
Yawn, seriously of you want to play xbox 360 games that badly get a xbox 360.
I got a S Model i am willing to sell.
No they didn’t. Xbox never sold that well in Japan.
And there other consoles. Saying there a market for Japanese games outside of Japan isnt a selling point for the xbox nor would it make it sell in Japan. The Xbox One release weekend in Japan had a laughable turnout. Most of the people lined up were Europeans and Americans living in Japan.
Only person making assumptions are you.
Xbox does not sell well in Japan, period. Its not an option, it’s a matter of fact. Xbox is strongest in the US and the UK, and maybe parts of western Europe.
And no one brought up sensorship.
Since the 1970s, game consoles without a killer game lineup at launch don’t do well.
i actually never played the rebalanced version of uncharted 1 i only played the ps3 version where nobody wanted to die i remember it taking forever to kill folks in in the first game.
Looks at all my 3rd party Japanese 360 games, niche content like cave shmups and more
You justify you not being worth talking to every day dude lol. As he said Japanese games aren’t just about appealing to Japan and it did indeed do well enough for Japanese developers to pay a good deal of attention to it.
On an unrelated note P5R just cheated and let an enemy go 3 times in a row despite not getting even 1 once more. Hella salty at that gameover.
Given how well 360 era games sell on Switch, people obviously still want to play the games. Also, common sense would dictate that if I have Xbox and 360 game discs, I’d have a console capable of playing them.
Actually yes they did. And you would know that if you read what my post. Go back and read what I said. I never said it sold well in Japan. I said specifically that the 360 was a niche product in Japan. I’ll repeat myself and maybe you will comprehend it this time. It sold well enough for 3rd parties to release their games in Japan. I.e. multiplaftform games often don’t release for Xbox One in Japan because the system didn’t sell enough units to warrant localization. The 360 sold well enough in Japan that multi platform releases were worth the expense. I shouldn’t have to restate this point because didn’t bother to read it.
Again I wonder if you read my post. Let me explain something to you about business. Not offering something that your competition does instantly concedes that entire market to them. In other words, garnering strong Japanese support helps them not only in Japan but outside of it. Not getting those titles instantly weakens the brand, even in places where it is strong, and gives you no chance in areas that its weak. Not sure I even get your outlook on this. Unless I missed something Atari doesn’t rule gaming. So assuming the top dog will stay that way is foolish outlook to have.
Come from a guy that has done nothing but make assumptions about the industry this is rich. You continually make assumptions that things will stay the same. Despite Atari faltering, Nintendo faltering, and Sony faltering. As I’ve said in other post, brand loyalty is not what people think it is. It only matters when the leading console manufacturer doesn’t fuck up. All of the major players left have fucked up before, so assuming things will stay the same is a foolhardy notion.
Do you want to reconsider this easily disprovable point. Or should I point out the multiple obvious examples that prove this wrong. I mean the best selling home console of all time had a shitty launch lineup.
Most consoles have what could be argued as shitty launch line ups. PS2 launch line up was pretty meh and it’s the best selling console of all time.
OF ALL TIME! Kanye shrug
