Sucker Punch. It was amazing, and worth watching if only for the jaw-droppingly gorgeous action scenes (one particularly beautiful one containing a B52 with one jet engine and one propeller engine really struck me as amazing).
I'm sure it will be torn apart for accusations of it being pretentious or weirdly strung together, but I loved it pretty thoroughly, and can't see why someone wouldn't consider it worth being watched in theaters just for the action, unless they weren't fans of the action in 300 or Watchmen.

Valve may have done it, but the community is what enabled and encouraged it. I hardly blame them - if I were in the same opportunity, I'd gladly fuck over that many idiots for free money.

Why make a good game when you can exploit thousands of retards who play TF2?

I've never played a Wizardry game other than Class of Heroes (the story behind that is in another thread), so I feel like I should give this one a shot.

and one of the few instances that shows that the Japanese RPG genre is all terrible! Bit of a mistype there  |

Seriously, though, at least Halo had the occasional open field and vehicle segments. All I did in the Killzone demoes was hide behind walls and wait for someone to poke his gasmask out. I'm someone who loves cover shooters, for the most part, which is why I'm so thoroughly astonished by how awful and boring the Killzone series is. |

Killzone 2: Also Fucking Terrible.
Who in their right fucking mind thinks that these games are good? This is seriously one of the most boring and uninspired games I've ever played. Ever. I tried both the multiplayer and single player and have no idea how this could possibly appeal to someone other than the desperate Sony fanboy clinging to a new exclusive.

That's too bad about the game. I wonder how Sony ever got a sequel greenlit? Even though it only got a 70 on MetaCritic (which is incredibly flattering given how terrible it is), I believe it still sold well enough to make Greatest Hits. The game may have been fucking awful, but they hyped it well enough to make it a "big name." |

Does it have technical issues? Runs at amazingly poor FPS that can't possibly be above 20. Enemies you have to kill to advance will get stuck behind objects. Objectives will be really obscure (I had to kill these two tanks at one point that did nothing after being shot once except look at me, took me a few minutes to discover I had to shoot them extra times). The draw point is also terrible and texture popping is hilariously awful. Enemies have nearly pinpoint accuracy even if they're miles away from you while you have a hilariously large crosshair that, even during the first shot, will veer in any random direction. You walk down an incredibly boring set path and just kill a few guys on the way. While I realize this is essentially what popular FPS has become, I've never seen it this goddamn boring and utterly bland. Everything looks ugly as piss, too (sure, it's "technically" impressive). Generic and boring. In the level I played and intro I watched, nothing was revealed other than that the Helghast were exiled and now want revenge. I'm guessing by the end of the game, nothing is discovered other than why they were exiled and possibly why they want revenge. Yeah. I want to say the game is funny bad, but it's not even that. It's just fucking horrible. |

The first Killzone has seriously fucking dumbfounded me with its awfulness.

I strongly suggest playing the first Uncharted before playing the second. The second game will spoil bits of story from the first, and the second is quite a bit better (which is really saying something, because the first is an amazing game in its own right) - you'll appreciate the first if you get it out of the way before playing the second.

While I find it vaguely amusing to see consoles get stuffed into portable frames, I can't think of any reason I would ever actually want one. *clutches her nomad* ;_; |

Well the people that do these aren't doing them for practicality or because they want to make money out of it but just because they can and find making them fun. I'd argue that, to some degree, they are doing it for practicality. I mean, they're not just going to go off on some project with the only means being to get the thing to work, they're going to want to be able to have it played on. So my question is still pretty legitimate. Why? I can't see why they'd make a portable N64, especially since half of the "good" games in its library are multiplayer games that have aged terribly that people tend to only still play for the sake of nostalgia. |
