^^yea last year was poor but i think there has been some quality games released so far this year and more to come.

 

[Bobby Sands]

I wish I shared the same enthusiasm, Bobby.

MW2 was the only game from last year worth owning.

FF is coming Monday... kind of a impulse buy. I might regret it. sigh

Just Cause 2 looks good but I have a feeling that I'll be free roaming most of the time because the plot is so wack. Not to mention MW2 has ruined my ability to play other form of shooters.

What else?

Oh yeah, GT5 was pushed back for PS6 release. sigh

sigh sigh sigh sigh

Also, im surprised that as a PS3 owner you didnt see Unchartered 2 as a game worth owning. That game looks pretty awesome.

Definitely not 8.5 or whatever the score was. The only exclusive I rub in the faces of 360 owners is GT5, then they start talking about ME2 and I cry.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^lol it got much higher than 8.5. got some game of the year awars i believe.

i havent played it yet so i cant really comment on it.

GT5 will no doubt be awesome if you are into racing simulation. Im not though.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Metro 2033 seems like it could be a good game as well.

 

[S. Fourteen]

So, just played about 20 minutes of Final Fantasy and it's just as I suspected...

I hate watching games. I'm hoping it'll get better.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Metro 2033 and Resonance of Fate have both been released and both are fairly average it seems.

 

[S O F I]

Anybody mention Red Dead Redemption yet? The shit looks sick. Comes out in May.

If you liked MW2 get Bad Company 2.

I think Project Natal will make or break 2010 gaming for me.

Im also looking forward to UFC 2010 which no one has mentioned, so i guess it is just me then lol.

i mentioned it in the first post.

IGN gave Just Cause 2 a score of 88. Looks a pretty fun game. might get that.

 

[Da_Funk]

Only two weeks till I'm done with exams. Then I can play Mass effect two, Bioshock two, Final Fantasy XIII.

How was mass effect 2 Bobby? Good as you expected?

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^im only about half way through it. i havent time to play it now with college. Its great so far though.

 

[S. Fourteen]

Sell FFXIII before the resell value goes down.

 

[Bobby Sands]

lmao

i take it you didnt like it then? i havent bought it and i doubt i will.

 

[S. Fourteen]

^^
FFXIII

There's nothing in the game that makes me say "wow, I'm glad I got this game"
I end up skipping majority of the cutscenes because, well, who wants to watch a game?
But then that makes playing the game pointless because you lose out on the story.
Then there's the battle which is like a bad game of Tekken except worse.
This is my first FF game since the PSone days so I might be behind on things but fuck!
ATB is fine, it's just the whole

Relentless Assault!
*watch them transform to their various roles*
Diversity!
*watch them transform to their various roles*
Relentless Assault!
*watch them transform to their various roles*
Aggression!
*watch them transform to their various roles*

it's like shit! strategy is cool, but this kind of 'strategy' doesn't do it for me
it kind of ruins the whole ATB thing. just like the cutscenes and plot - it disrupts the flow.
Same with Eidolons - do I have to watch the same animation every time I summon it? Good lord.
I'm not sure why I am able to tolerate games of the past like Dragon Quest 1-4 and Square games before it merged with Enix. Maybe they had better creators working for them. Maybe games are too hard to make these days and it requires a different kind of production team. who knows.

Some positives are:

Some of the indoor environments are nicely crafted. It has the classic FF feel to it.
The treasure spheres are genius because you can spot them from a distance.
Manipulation of the camera angles will provide you with some upskirt shots.
Eidolon music is sweet.

 

[Shadows]

^lol at upskirt shots.

i haven't played FF since 10.

 

[Bobby Sands]

i remember i used to do that while playing Tomb Raider. Pan the camera around to get a nice view of Lara's tits and ass.

dont tell me you didnt do that too.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Amazon are offering Mass Effect free with Mass Effect 2 at the moment for the Xbox 360. good deal for anyone who hasnt got them yet.

 

[Bobby Sands]

IGN gave Splinter Cell Conviction 9.3. Looks like a very good game. must get it.
