Off Topic V5

Besides GoWIII...E3 titles of interest:

Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time - What little I played of "Tools of Destruction" was amusing.

Aliens VS Predator - Could be interesting if they don't do too terribly.

Lost Planet 2 - They've up'd their game with regards to 'bosses'..I'd like to see how they fix the other areas of the title. The story needs to drop the anime drama.

Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion - Got to beat down suckas as "King" in the future.

Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny - A challenger appears. KRATOS

Alan Wake - Sort of like Silent Hill. I'll just be keeping tabs.

Crysis 2 - Just graphical upgrades? I'd rather they focus on their physics and gameplay.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 - Extra weapons, spells, etc. for Ryu? 3 extra playable characters of varying play styles? New bosses, locales, etc.? Glorious as is. Perhaps they'll fix a few of the less desirable qualities...or not. Probably not.

Modern Warfare 2 - I'll probably just watch NGW coverage after release.

Left 4 Dead 2 - Meh.

Splinter Cell: Conviction - Never cared about this series in the past. This outing looks interesting, however...it probably won't get a rental out of me.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Never really finished watching the first be beaten...

Metroid: Other M - Terrible title for the game. Never played or watched any of the titles beaten, but I have a general idea of how things work. Being essentially a hybrid (with Ninja Gaiden)...it could prove interesting to follow.

Dead Space: Extraction - I'll just watch a review and perhaps a playthrough.

New Super Mario Bros Wii - Another future walkthrough to see rather then play.

Uncharted 2: Among Theives - The first was entertaining to watch and the dem was enjoyable. This outing looks quite a bit better no less. Could prove a worthwhile rental (or at least a watch) in the future.

The Last Guardian - Having now seen Ico (boring) and long ago playing Shadow of the Colossus (enjoyable enough) *plus speedruns to impress*..I know it should at the very least be worth keeping an eye on.

Overlord II - I liked the demo of the first, but never got a chance to rent and beat it. Perhaps I'll instead start with this one. Hard to say.

Batman: Arkham Asylum - The developer walkthrough was fairly interesting. Voice talent is there. Not sure about everything else.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade - Should the chance to play ever be offered, it would prove a good diversion.

Assassin's Creed 2 - The first had a little going for it...but got bogged down by bad design, terrible filler objectives and glitches. The second says it will address the latter two. We'll see about 'bad design' when it's all said and done..

Dead Rising 2 - I wasn't that into the first and probably won't care about the second. I'd rather be killing humans.

Prototype - Releasing soon. We'll see how it holds up to its forerunner...and if it compares in critical success to Infamous. I have doubts about the latter. I doubt I'll care for character interactions, the presentation of the story could be amusing if kept in brief bursts, basics of navigation/gameplay should be gratifying and easy. Bosses....hard to say. A rental to be sure. Like Infamous. Perhaps 'Wolverine' as well.

Dark Void - Still has potential to be an interesting/okay game. A sequel would have the chance for GREAT imrovements. That story/character just isn't going to cut it though..Our foes as shown thus far are just robotic proxy of aliens..

Darksiders: Wrath of War - Looking quite good. Could even be a purchase in the future.

~That about covers it all. I've yet to look at the new 'Castlevania'...

So many good games. I'm just shivering.

2009 is going to be a good year. Has so far with these titles.

Kuro: Keeping track of "Dark Void" are you?

KZ333: Not all of these are set for 09 releases. Though Prototype is coming right up.

I'll just mention them off my memory, coz if I don't remember something, am not interested enough in it.

Assassin's Creed 2: As MrSK mentioned, they've said they gonna take care of issues from first one. My biggest gripe was relative lack of replay value. Even on first run things get repetitive pretty soon. Like first one, would be a watch as my friend plays it.

Alan Wake: Will have to head over to friend's place and give it a shot. Looks like what current gen Silent Hill should have been. First PS game I played was Resident Evil, so have a soft corner for Survival Horror.

Batman: Arkham Asylum:  Must watch, seeing the friend has already pre-ordered it. Will give it a play if like the stealth elements of it.

Brutual Legend: Definitely a watch. Dunno much about gameplay to make call on purchase. 

MetalGearSolid Rising: Nothing to go by, but Kojima's yet to disappoint. Liked the confirmation that there will be stealth too, not out and out action.

Splinter Cell: Conviction: Double Agent made for some memorable offline co-op. Story doesn't seem to suggest the same for this one, though gameplay seems to be better. On the fence.

New SMB Wii: This gotta be the next big party game. Don't know any gamer in my circle who hasn't played SMB. And each one of them remembers the disappointment when they tried 2 player game only to find out you had to take turns. SMB with co-op... something we've always wanted. Only hitch, only guy in our circle with Wii happens to be a big boss, a few steps up the ladder.

Prototype: On the fence between this one and inFamous. Once both are out, one will be play, other just watch.

Castlevania: Anyone remember the Nightmare game in MGS3? I remember at that time wondering what would a Kojima Castlevania look like. I wonder if he gonna shoe-in a Snake link in this one, albeit a joke. Gameplay and even arenas and enemies remind very much of God of War. With GOW coming to an end, could be the new obsession.

Crysis 2: On the fence seeing am not much of an FPS person.

Unchartered 2: Yet to play Unchartered, did watch though. So this one would be a watch too. Maybe a borrow.

Tekken 6: Must buy. Can't have a party without some Tekken. 

Now I come to another set. PSP. Been planning on PSP for quite a while and now got a few games that would make me jump this ship.

 MGS:PW With 2 MSG on PSP, the allure increases

Soul Calibur Broken Destiny: KRATOS!!!

Assassin's Creed: Not to mention exclusive weapons unlocked for PS3 game.

Add to them the older titles like GOW:COO, MGS:PO and it has enough to warrant a purchase. Now the dilemna is, go for a UMD PSP now [I still can see a few GOW PSPs here and there, new ones] or PSP Go? Suggestions, anyone? 

Greetings Gents. Game discussion? I'm in.

Prototype - Us Europeans have to wait till Friday, but it'll be worth the wait anyway, another 6 days is nothing compared to the 1.5 years or so I've been watching it. This is my only must have for now (after watching a few live feeds it's looking great). Would any of you be interested in a brief review after I've had some time with it?

Infamous - Right now I only own a 360 so this is out of my reach. I've played the demo on a friend's PS3 though, and I was impressed. It plays much better than it looks, much like Assassin's Creed. I'll keep up with this if I can.

Batman: Arkham Asylum - Certainly looks promising, haven't been keeping up with every piece of news on it, but I give it a look now and then. I do hope all its potential is used.

Assassin's Creed 2 -  Like you both said, AC1 had some unfortunate cons to it. The repetition for one so I was glad when they announced completely new mission types for the sequel. I'm liking most of what I've seen so far, but time will tell.

God of War 3 - This one's a given really. Obviously I'll need a PS3 (there's time though) but I'll keep up with most of the new updates for it.

Dead Rising 2 - I'm not keeping up with this exactly, rather I heard it was able to support ludicrous amounts of enemies on-screen at once. Someone said 7,000 but I can't help but feel that last zero must have been a typo.
If not, holy hell.

Crackdown 2 - Never owned the first but enjoyed what I played of it. If this makes some good improvements I'll be sorely tempted to get it. (I'm not into renting things)

Darksiders - More or less the same reasons, I like to at least check on all action games now and then and this one's looking decent.

Bayonetta - Meh, going on from my action games statement, I don't see myself getting this but it could be decent.

That should do for now.

hai guise wuts goin on itt?

X-Men oranges: Wolverine looks quite promising.

addamantium

That "Danger Room" on the next gen versions looks pretty awesome too.

Kuro: Indeed. Like I said I never owned it but I played the demo multiple times, I'd like to get it eventually but with Prototype round the corner I won't bother for now.

You mean the survival bloody palace type area?

Seen a little about it on YT but I need to know MOAR.

It might fill the gap between GoWII (after my current run) and GoWIII

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure of the name of it but it reminds me of the Danger Room from other games.

It certainly looks promising, a Bloody Palace/Arena of the Fates hybrid.

What about SW:FU? Will we ever see any videos of that (from you)?

A while ago I'd have said no. Now that I know I can record from my PS3 (well I think I can, not actually tried it yet) I'm still going to say no.

 I'm not that good at SW:FU

INB4 UR NOT THAT GOOD AT GoW!

I specialise in douchebag tactics. Holding a single foe in the air when all around him are dead and using force lightning over and over and over. Because I'm sick like that.

I don't do "stylish play" and I'm not doing a challenge run so I wouldn't be showing anything worthwhile.

If I ever spend any time playing it (beyond mere completion) then maybe. Don't discount the possibility.

UR NOT THAT GOOD AT GoW!!

EDIT: Watched the Castlevania trailer. Jean-luc Picard narrating the trailer? Game sold. Good job advertising team. 

Besides GoWIII...E3 titles of interest:

Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time - What little I played of "Tools of Destruction" was amusing.I just might have to look up the older titles along with this one at some point.

Aliens VS Predator - Could be interesting if they don't do too terribly.

Lost Planet 2 - They've up'd their game with regards to 'bosses'..I'd like to see how they fix the other areas of the title. The story needs to drop the anime drama.First one looked interesting, but never played it.

Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion - Got to beat down suckas as "King" in the future.

Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny - A challenger appears. KRATOS

Alan Wake - Sort of like Silent Hill. I'll just be keeping tabs.

Crysis 2 - Just graphical upgrades? I'd rather they focus on their physics and gameplay.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 - Extra weapons, spells, etc. for Ryu? 3 extra playable characters of varying play styles? New bosses, locales, etc.? Glorious as is. Perhaps they'll fix a few of the less desirable qualities...or not. Probably not.I'll probably get this for one playthrough on Normal like the first.

Modern Warfare 2 - I'll probably just watch NGW coverage after release.Might try this out, though I haven't gotten a COD game yet, 4 looked good, and so did world at war, which had Nazi zombies, which is quite fun.

Left 4 Dead 2 - Meh.Really looking forward to this, the first is an absolutely great game to play with friends. Ever seen a flaming hunter? It is hilarious.

Splinter Cell: Conviction - Never cared about this series in the past. This outing looks interesting, however...it probably won't get a rental out of me.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Never really finished watching the first be beaten...Definitely going to get.

Metroid: Other M - Terrible title for the game. Never played or watched any of the titles beaten, but I have a general idea of how things work. Being essentially a hybrid (with Ninja Gaiden)...it could prove interesting to follow.Looks interesting.

The Last Guardian - Having now seen Ico (boring) and long ago playing Shadow of the Colossus (enjoyable enough) *plus speedruns to impress*..I know it should at the very least be worth keeping an eye on.I am very excited about this since I loved SotC, though I haven't played Ico, but it didn't look as good.

Overlord II - I liked the demo of the first, but never got a chance to rent and beat it. Perhaps I'll instead start with this one. Hard to say.

Batman: Arkham Asylum - The developer walkthrough was fairly interesting. Voice talent is there. Not sure about everything else.I'll keep an eye on this one.

We'll see about 'bad design' when it's all said and done..Haven't played the first one yet, though I do own it now, so I'll likely pick this up as well, unless I end up hating AC1.

Dead Rising 2 - I wasn't that into the first and probably won't care about the second. I'd rather be killing humans.

Prototype - Releasing soon. We'll see how it holds up to its forerunner...and if it compares in critical success to Infamous. I have doubts about the latter. I doubt I'll care for character interactions, the presentation of the story could be amusing if kept in brief bursts, basics of navigation/gameplay should be gratifying and easy. Bosses....hard to say. A rental to be sure. Like Infamous. Perhaps 'Wolverine' as well.A friend is planning on getting this, and if it is any good, I'll borrow it from him and lend him Infamous.

Dark Void - Still has potential to be an interesting/okay game. A sequel would have the chance for GREAT imrovements. That story/character just isn't going to cut it though..Our foes as shown thus far are just robotic proxy of aliens..Saw some stuff on this a while ago, looks to have some promise.

Darksiders: Wrath of War - Looking quite good. Could even be a purchase in the future.I'm really hoping this doesn't turn out to be crap.

~That about covers it all. I've yet to look at the new 'Castlevania'...

MrStarkiller

Another addam. What has the world come to?Killzone333

A post apocalyptic nightmare, someone call the other three horsemen.

Demo's played recently:

-Mirror's Edge

-Infamous

Less recently:

-'Riddick'

-'Wolverine'

[QUOTE="Killzone333"]Another addam. What has the world come to?addamantium

A post apocalyptic nightmare, someone call the other three horsemen.

Aren't the four horsement supposed to be pre-apocalyptic  seeing they're harbingers of apocalypse? In other words, the world had cum to a long time ago.

Just watched that Just Cause 2 video...I wasn't too into the first one, but they seem to have made some significant improvements for the sequel. It's looking good.

It's time for a moan. Let me just wiggle my shoulders, take two deep breaths, tighten my pants, and...(*moan*).

Was that good enough - because that was a lot of work.

No, do it again. This time with more EMOTIONAL CONTENT.

MrSK: Darksider... so are you saying that our very own addam is the protagonist of the game?

addam: Aye! Gotta concede that point seeing I was trying to come up with some interesting wordplay, which unlike 4play aint my forte. 

Req: Who? Perhaps the part of an unwitting fool. If that's what you refer to, then sure.

~I suppose the coverage I gave for the GoWIII demo was a bit much than? I've gotten a few answers to my own questions sense the last update. I should create an EDIT soon.

MrSK: Yet to get all the vids downloaded. Quite a few folks are still uploading user vids of demo gameplay. Also, need to refresh all the move names. It has made for interesting read during work hours. Which reminds me, time to get back to work.

No, do it again. This time with more EMOTIONAL CONTENT.

MrStarkiller

Smack myself once, spin around three times, do some himmees. "Himmee, Himmee", and now...wait for it... wait for it...(*moaaan*)

Wooh, I'm tired. Where's my milk and cookies, mrsk?

KZ333: Now again with MOAR feeling.

Req: So I've noted. These are the individuals I question for answers.

Gent: Your balls are showing.

Aw dude, not again. WKUK FTW.

 NOTE: hide therm with your mouth.

OK.MrStarkiller

You're nasty, mrsk. Nasty.

How are those cookies coming along? I've been waiting for a while now.

KZ333: You realise the only milk MrSK will provide will be salty man milk, don't you?

As for the cookies, well. I wouldn't even buy them off him even if he was wearing his *frankly adorable* girl scout uniform.

O.K I would buy his cookies but only if he let me call him Hannah.

addam: I hope not.

mrsk: Yes it is. Milk and cookies.

Gent: Nay! For I this is his new god.

KZ333: But you'll spoil your dinner. (pulled pork with sour jerk sauce) No need to rush your decision.

Obviously. It'll last until the 20th or I destroy a few 'high rollers'...and clear off (no doubt) extra trash I didn't upload personally....

~Though the upkeep of the 'Art Gallery' links no doubt creates quite the strain...

Gent: Nay! For I this is his new god.

KZ333: But you'll spoil your dinner. (pulled pork with sour jerk sauce) No need to rush your decision.

MrStarkiller

I ate dinner already! Gimme cookies and milk!

Just hand em' over and be done with this.
