First off I'm sorry to everyone if I haven't been active or posted in your blogs (though I have tried to read all of them). I'm still not technically "back" and wont be for about a month.
On topic- Se has finally failed me by making FF14 an mmo a FREAKIN YEAR AFTER 13 COMES OUT! SE has just screwed up EVERY IP that was originally Square Soft's. They've completely forgotten about Enix as well, DQ8 was fun but they haven't even done anything else with its properties. Just look at these failures
- they made a sequel to FFX (which square NEVER did BTW) that looked more like a barbie rpg than a FF one
- They made FFXi an mmo.. and a bad one at that
- XII was good, but it didn't feel like an FF in the slightest bit
- XIII was made multiplat, which made us wait even longer for it
- They're charging $32 for the sequel to FFIV on wii, which is a DLC only port of a phone game
- They've changed VII from an epic masterpiece to an emo cash cow.
- All they've put out this gen are crappy, buggy, unfinished 360 games while leaving Sony completely in the dark
- KH2 was really good, but it had a completely different feel then KH1.
- Plus more
Im glad they haven't touched Chrono, I might go crazy if they screwed with it. LONG LIVE ATLUS AND MISTWALKER
/my stupid rant
Now onto E3, They all had some surprises and dissapointments, but heres what I thought a little more in depth
Microsoft- Splinter Cell looked cool, everything else not so much. Stole an exclusive spinoff (GO MS FOR FAILING TO GET THE ONE PPL CARED ABOUT!), natal looked ok, not as good as the other 2's motion stuff. Milo is BS lies, just like everything Peter Molyneux makes.4th place
EA- overall pretty awesome. ME2, NFS, Madden tool, Dragon age, and Dante's Inferno all looked good. SW completely blew me away, second best game at E3. 3rd place
Ubisoft- A complete snoozfest ( i literally almost fell asleep). Dude talked about Avatar for 40 minutes, telling the entire plot, and then didn't even show the dumb thing. The Splinter Cell gameplay was the exact same thing shown at MS. There best game, NMH, was barely mentioned. On the plus side Red Steel 2 looked great. last place
Nintendo- Best overall imo due to one thing- Metroid. Im a big fan of Metroid, especially super Metroid, and it really blew me away, looks even better than the MP games and is my E3 best of show. Mario galaxy 2 looked good, as did Golden Sun, new super mario bros, and Mario rpg. Everything else was blah. I was dissapointed about no new Star Fox. 1st place
Sony- had the most good stuff, pretty consistent across the board in quality. Started strong with Uncharted, and continued with MAG. PSp go was ok, too pricey. GOW 3 was nice, MGS was a little strange but nice, and GT was ok. That racing game and the motion controls blew me away. I was dissapointed about no new TM. 2nd place
Sorry if my rants were long but I wanted to get all that out.
Tell me your E3 impressions :D
