hang on, heavenly sword is out in like 3 days where is the hype??

I love how everyone is just assuming its only 6 to 8hours and therefore not worth the money.

Little hint, so was Metal Gear Solid, and look how amazing that game was.

Yeah, but that's Metal Gear Solid. I doubt Heavenly Swords story will be that deep.

and mgs had a multiplayer

Heavenly Sword is a God of War copy. Hope they launch GoW for PS3 soon!

nuno_faria

thats never happening. you fail.

Well despite my praises about LAIR, I'll be trading it in to get Heavenly Sword (I expect a few PM's soon because of what I just said). I beat LAIR already and I can't seem to get all the golds, so I'm just going to trade the game in for Heavenly Sword because I've always been interested in it the day before and after I played the demo. I don't like it when games are hyped because then gamers/reviewers expect too much from the game and are disappointed. I don't care about hype, I'll just buy Heavenly Sword despite what anyone says and make my judgement if the game is good or not. Other's should do the same, who cares about reviews.da1writer

Dude, If I had all the money in the world I would do that to, but I don't. I rent first unless the reviews are super; That method has never dissapointed me.

I remember I finished Metal Gear like at 12 or 13 hours...MGS is not a 6 hour game

That depends if your good or not. I can beat MGS1 in like 2-3hrs because im great in it. NG is short to its just really hard. A games length also counts on your skill.

u forgot to mention gears of war was 8 hours:)jackfatal

Gears of War had multiplayer though.

Gears of War had multiplayer though.

After seeing what happened to LAIR, and hearing the length of the game, we're not hyped. But there's still LittleBigPlanet, and Killzone 2. Don't forget the greatest game of all time either, MGS4.Rhaxdric

Yeah... but Metal Gear Solid was also a 5 hour game (and I love it to death, I played it back-to-back-to-back three times!).

A quality 5 hour game beats a junk 100 hour game, any time and day.

Really?? you must have had a super steep learning curve. the cut scenes put together was probably longer than the actual game play. Luckily there was the vr missions. So i see many people have fallen to the suggestion that a 6 hour game is not worth anything. lemmings. nobody remembers god of war, gears of war, shadow of the colossus, half life 2. many great games are only 6-8 hours.

Um, those games all have fantastic stories (with a highly level of immersion), innovative gameplay/controls, multiplayer, or have a combination of all those things...

I can't tell whether or not Heavenly Sword has any of the qualities because I don't own the game. The demo however, was unimpressive. It came off as a 3D brawler, with some good looking environments, flashy graphics, and an attractive female lead.

Um.... it took me like 6 months more or less to beat each mgs game LOL.... i kept getting stuck in places.

As others have said, the demo sucked so bad it turned me away from this game. But if the game gets about a 9 on gamespot i might get it since the only other ps3 game i have is resistance and nba 2k7 which i bought 1 year ago. I can't believe its been this long and we are still waiting for games. If only i had known, i could've just bought a ps3 now and saved $100 or even more with the christmas price drop.

But i cant wait to read a gamespot review for this game, if the story is good enough and the review is good enough to overshadow the lame demo, i might get it. I dont even think there are any other games besides this game coming out this yr for the ps3 right?

You sound surprised. don't forget how long it took the Xbox 360to get GOW out (its first AAA title).

And to answer your second question:

Haze, UT3, Stranglehold, COD , Army of Two, Ratchet & Clank,Assassins Creed, and Home apparently.

I was excited about the demo. Sure it was only two fights but it showed there was some solid hack n slash action with a deep fighting system.

I'm more interested in a good story then innovation. I just want to beat the crap outta a couple thousand enemies and hopefully it will have a nice cinematic experience to go along with it. So therefore I'm buying.

Money really is not an issue for me, and I spend more then 60 bucks a month on things worse then a good game. (Like Cable TV)

On a side note, after just recently jumping into the console market, I'm completely amazed how biased reviews are based on how similar they remind the reviewers of other games, and how much "new" gameplay they add to the mix. I've been playing FPS for a long time. Was Doom1 a whole lot more different then Half Life 2 as far as gameplay goes? No not really. You stick it out for the story. Games will always fall into preset paradigms whether you like it or not.

I also think people praise innovation despite really not being innovative at all. Like right now everyone is going nuts over Plasmids when they were doing the same thing in the Jedi Knight series, heretic, and any other of the many FPS's that allow you to cast spells.

reasons for me not going crazy about this game on these forums:

1) too busy with Warhawk.

2) have this game already reserved on gamefly.

I love how everyone is just assuming its only 6 to 8hours and therefore not worth the money.

Haze - another shooter, pretty sick and tired of playing shooters, if i wanted shooters i would've bought a 360 instead. Besides if i got another one, i would just wait for killzone 2.

COD - ""

UT3 - ""

Stranglehold - reviews dont justify $60

Army of Two - dunno much about this game, but its by EA...so thats the end of that.

Ratchet & Clank - didnt like the other ones either

Home - thats not even a game, its part of ps3

Assasin's Creed - this game looks cool, i guess theres at least 1 game, too bad its not a game developed just for the ps3, it might've been really impressive.

Your opinion - I however enjoy straight up action games, and this game from what I'm hearing fits the bill. Great acting/voice work throughout the game with some awesome looking gameplay. I also enjoyed the demo, and actually I still have it installed, and I pop back and play it every now and then, and I just like how the gane plays and looks - and that's really all that matters to me.

I'm personally pretty picky about the games I buy, and I personally think HS is a game to buy - along with DiRT :)
