 Re: Last game you played? Tales of Symphonia
I'll never get tired of playing it.

Re: Last game you played? Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars
Just started playing a couple of days and very much enjoyed it. This is all about arcade style fighting, and the actions are incredibly fun to watch. Each character has its distinct moves, strengths and weaknesses.

Re: Last game you played? I'll be buying that one after I finish up some of my other games. I still need to "beat" Pokemon SoulSilver and Pokemon HeartGold, I still haven't completed New Super Mario Bros., Phantom Brave hasn't been touched for several weeks, and I'm still near the beginning of Mario and Luigi 3. Trying to make up for a pathetic 2009, but getting behind with Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid, and others just around the corner.
Have you tried Online Mode, xiayun?

Re: Last game you played? Deadly Premonition (Xbox 360) - Essentially Grand Theft Auto meets Silent Hill - if it were made in the mid 90's. Way below par in both graphics and game mechanics, but it's so intentionally campy and bizarre that it is oddly appealing. It'll be interesting to see whether the appealing aspects can continue to make me look past all the crappy issues so that I can make it through the 20 hour story. And, if so, it'll be even more interesting to try to assign a grade to it.

Re: Last game you played? Yakuza 3 - Pretty fun game with average graphics. Too bad the version they released for the US is heavily edited with alot of missing sidequests. Quite open ended for a japanese game. Grade:B/B+
Just Cause 2 - Reviews are decent but I just somehow couldnt really get into the game despite sandboxes being my favorite genre. I dont know what it is but maybe it has more to with 95% of the areas being jungles and mountains.
Splinter Cell Conviction - The single player campaign was quite enjoyable but too short. I have yet to try the co-op mode but still my favorite stealth games are Assasin's Creed and Thief. Grade:B+

The demo seemed fun, but I only farted around with it for a few minutes... the grappling hook definitely seems like the main draw. I was kind of hoping that they solved the "mostly boring jungle" problem. I'll be disappointed if it's as you say. _________________

Re: Last game you played? Believe me. You wouldnt want the game to be set in the jungle all the time. Thats how it felt. I prefer live cities over jungles because the whole area feels more alive than empty. I've finished all sandbox games that I started except for Dr3er and Just Cause. I dont know if I want to finish Just Cause 2

Re: Last game you played? Finished Deadly Premonition a few days ago, and while it took a bit to get past the mostly shitty visuals (character models were decent-ish), it was a very good game. It might be the 2nd greatest game that was $19.99 new (NFL 2K5 is #1).
Definitely has a few flaws, but none completely break the game and the story and characters were really good... quite engrossing and kept my interest for the full 20 hours of the main story. I can't bring myself to give it quite an "A", but it's a solid A- in my book.

Re: Last game you played? TonyMontana wrote: Finished Brutal Legend. Tough game to rate. I hated... HATED... the stage battles (RTS parts), and pretty much the entire last 1/2 of the game was drive to a spot on the map and engage in a stage battle. A person who likes RTS games will probably feel differently, although I have trouble believing that BL was a good RTS game as they go. Halo Wars (also not my thing), was at least a lot more intuitive.
Outside of the game mechanics, the story and characters were good and kept me slogging through RTS parts, which really says something about how good that aspect was, because I have never finished an RTS game before. The music was good too.
I was iffy on the environment. It often felt like more of a pain to get from point A to point B and it didn't really make me want to explore it. In the end, I'd give the game a C+ just for the story and characters alone. It was an engaging game from that aspect. I just rented this game. Although I like RTS games, I find it incredibly difficult in the stage battles to tell who is on my team and therefore who to attack. Another problem might be with the lack of a keyboard. I still like the game and the "metal" elements are pretty cool as are the lead characters. The secondary missions are also extremely repetitive. They simply entail ambushing bad guys and fighting them off. I liked the game more when it was sort of an adventure style hack and slash style game.

Re: Last game you played? Caius wrote: I liked the game more when it was sort of an adventure style hack and slash style game. It simply should have never been an RTS... that was a weird decision to make it that way. I would have loved the game if it was a hack 'n slash adventure. BL might be #1 on my list of games that I wanted to love, but just couldn't. _________________

Re: Last game you played? I just finished Mass Effect 2 finally last night. Best RPG series I've personally played so far. Final Fantasy is great but this one is epic.

Re: Last game you played? Mass Effect 2 was one of the few RPGs I really liked, but it seems like the line between RPG and a non-stupid game (this is what I call non-RPG's) is blurring.
I think I'm changing my definition of RPGs to be only goofy Japanese games with guys that look like girls and turn based combat.
ME2 was more like Gears of War but with slightly more talking. So, I'm officially stripping ME of its RPG status so I can feel good about liking it.

Re: Last game you played? As usual I'm a few years behind on the games. I finished The Simpsons Game a few days ago. Probably the funniest game I've ever played. But the controls and the camera is some of the worst I've ever seen.

Re: Last game you played? The Simpsons game was good for a TV show tie in. I've actually liked the last 3 Simpsons games fairly well (the two on the Xbox and one on the 360) .... hopefully they make another one soon!

Re: Last game you played? Blur - Eh... not really feeling this one. Mario Kart in a realistic world is interesting, but the game is kind of lacking. I find the power ups to be fairly lame... they needed to be more original or bad-ass. Nearly all of them have been done better by other games. The graphics are ok, but have been done better. The racing control is competent. The game needs more diversity, and it gets repetitive quickly... as well as being a little on the difficult side. Disappointing.

Re: Last game you played? Assassin's Creed. How did this game ever become such a huge seller? It has terrible controls, boring missions and sidequests, and I positively fucking loathe riding a horse for 10 minutes to get to the next fucking city. It would be easier if the map had a cursor indicating what direction I am heading in, instead of a fucking equilateral triangle which is absolutely zero help. Go in this  direction. Well, that ain't fucking helpful. Is the arrow pointing up or down and left or down and right? (I was only playing for achievement whoring purposes, but even that could not get me past the first 85 achievements). I also hate hate hate the wake-up, walk to your bed, then walk back to the dream-state, story-points because there are simple excuses for very long load times and more unresponsive controls.

Re: Last game you played? Splinter Cell Conviciton - I used to love this series on the Original Xbox, but I just don't like the changes they've made to the series since. It's so much less about sneaking around and stealth, and becoming more combat oriented. Less nighttime/dark fun stuff and more daytime. No body hiding. Less sneak and strangle the guards stuff.
Heck, this game even has had one level so far that I swore was taken from COD:MW. A straight up "warfare in Iraq" level... that's not the Splinter Cell I used to love!
It's not bad, and I'll probably finish it, but man... that's a far cry from how I used to think of the series.
