Killzone 1 wasn't bad. It is another victim of hype on the negative. It wasn't the best game ever and so now everyone misremembers it. It's a solid console shooter, nothing special but not awful nor a disaster. If the controls were tighter it could've been outstanding. Simply your regular old good game.

Neal Adams
Carmine Infantino
Bob Ross

I don't know a lot of artists by name. Or names of pictures. I see stuff I like and like it. Bugger who does it.

Atlanta is going to crush New Orleans. They're in the playoffs, they're going to win the division. Carolina is going to choke a few games near the end, but I think they'll go farther in the playoffs.

I beat every game I buy that's beatable. I don't buy a lot of games.The ones I do buy I buy cheap and have all the fun I can with them. It may take me years to beat a game but I bet all of them. I save money that way. Why pay for a game you're not going to get all the enjoyment out of. It's like buying a movie ticket and watching the first half and leaving. You paid for the whole thing, watch it. Hardcore gamers are weird.
It also seems like elitists have a lot less fun with what they do. I enjoy pretty much every game I buy. I borrow and rent games I'm not absolutely sold on. Stuff like Mass Effect, Infinite Undiscovery and stuff like that.

If this game goes in a different direction from wii fit and compliments it with the kinds of activities that wii fit doesn't have it could be very successful. I'm mildly excited to see what's coming up for them.

I'm really sorry people lost their jobs. I think it's unfortunate that the people who worked there have to go out and try to find new jobs when other companies are closing down and all that's going to be said about it is "YAY."

TalkBack / Re: Capcom Comments on Wii Sales of Okami

« on: November 21, 2008, 06:26:38 PM »

I'm one of them. I played it on ps2 and thought I drug out too long and the combat bordered on bad. It does the zelda thing very well except that bug may be the most obnoxious character ever created.
Whenever I go back to play okami I end up playing wind waker.

I believe in possibly trying to throw the ball down the field. Maybe getting more than 3 yards once your last set of downs could help with that field position. No such thing as a curse, just one team not doing what they're suppose to do.

I got mine on launch day and it's easily been my favorite console of this generation. I'm really enthused by the number of fun games there are on the system.
I'm also glad it's blowing everything else out of the water sales wise so hardcore gamers get their panties all wadded up. I hope wii fit and animal crossing sell five millions plus copies and Wii Pro Nails Shoppe comes out next year and sells another couple million.

Do you guys actually beat all the games you buy? Doesn't seem like there's enough time in the day.

I saw it and I loved it. I loved that it didn't feel drawn out. It was just over an hour and a half I think. That's prime movie length for me.

I purchased wii fit in October and it's been my best gaming purchase since this summer where I got ten or twelve xbox/360/ps2/wii games for $40 at gamestop. Still the game is awesome. Wii play is fun too. That tanks game is a ball. Whatever. In fact, the only game on that list I don't own is Mario kart. I am personally killing hardcore gaming and ruining the market all at once.

PS3 sales are great. Hopefully at this rate I'll be able to get one at a fantastic deal come Christmas time.

Also, you guys are really weird.

I've been playing this for a few weeks. It's not bad. I do really wish they didn't have random battles though. Too many section where you can't progress unless you fight five hundred baddies who hit you at random and there's no way to dodge their stuff. If you're in mid combo and someone shoots you or dives in from above or if you're in the air and someone from the ground jobs or flies you're screwed. Then if you get hit once there's fifteen badguys who will pummel you

If they do it right then it won't be an issue. Without the bongos the combo thing goes away cause it isn't as hard anymore. so you have to change the level designs and enemy placement to work more with a controller. I personally have a lot of hope for this port. Y'all should chill out a bit and wait for some concrete information and perhaps, just perhaps, wait until you can play it yourself before you freak out and condemn this as a total failure.

This game is super enjoyable. I love this kind of game and this is a welcome addition.  I very much enjoy the small combat tweaks they made. It's fun.

IGN gets a bad rap. Yes they're pretty awful at everything they do but I find them to be the least pretentious of all the big time gaming sites and mags out there. There's no journalistic integrity going on there. 1up thinks so highly of themselves like they're God's personal gift to games and they're the same as everyone else. Gamespot has critical issues in how it reviews their games. IGN just doesn't care. They're dominant in their market for crazy obvious reasons and their fans are insane. It's pretty astounding the culture they've built up there.

woooooow. I like this. They're making it a game that more than seven people can get into, and yet there's still hate. I love the original. This is a good idea. they're not going to release the bongos again so change it up to make it work like a real platformer. The level design is almost there, just needs some tweaking to work with controllers instead of drums. Should be a fine game. More levels are great too.

hahaha. that was a rough ending. I agree with the play calling though. They should've just had three plays called in rapid secession. We wouldn't be talking about this if Gore hadn't tripped. So close.
