Me: Why am I not surprised Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Angry Mike 18 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Brahs....Castlevania LoS is getting pretty awesome. I'm kinda liking it now. The boss fights are fun. Only the first titan was annoying. The character design is great. This shit is legit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Angry Mike 18 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Lol i know right. But yeah, it has some really crazy locales. Each of these chapters is like completely different from the last.

What an annoying little bastard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carver 0 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 LOS is too long. I liked it but I actually stopped once I hit the area you're getting to. I hear that's when it gets amazing but I was already burnt out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest C.M. Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Beat Dear Esther and finished up Shadow of the Colossus. My thoughts: Dear Esther Never played a game like this before, if you can even all it a game. You're essentially placed in this environment to walk through as you are told a story, broken up in fragments. It's a tale revolving around death of someone close to you delivered with a Lovecraftian style. It's all left very much left up to the player's interpretation. The writing is clever and the narrator's voice acting is awesome. The experience itself was worth it just for the sound design, music and visuals. It's one of if not THE most atmospheric game I've ever played. The sound of wind and sea you hear while traversing the island is perfect, i don't even know how they pulled it off. The environments, designed by one of the Mirror's Edge artists are incredible, especially the "crystal caves" you encounter about midway. And the music, wow. I literally got the chills 2 or 3 times while playing this game, something I can't remember ever happening in another game. All that said, I have a hard time recommending it. You have to know what you're getting into. Like I said, there is no gameplay to this experience (you just walk around). It also costs $10 for about 1-2 hours of playtime, which doesn't bug me (cost of a movie), but it might bother some. But if you want to experience a game like no other and are looking for an amazing audio-visual experience, with a story you may enjoy, check it out. Shadow of the Colossus I'm super late on this one and I've sure it's been discussed to death so I'll keep this brief. One of the most unique games I've ever played and an instant classic in my books. Sound design and graphics hold up perfectly, the Colossi are breathtaking and the gameplay is simple but exhilarating. People made no exaggerations about the soundtrack being one of the best either. So good. That said there were definitely 2 or 3 Colossi that I didn't find fun to fight at all and that were borderline frustrating. The controls, while much better than 2001's Ico, definitely show their age after playing more modern "adventure platformers" like Tomb Raider Legend or Uncharted. Still, all and all, I loved it and can just imagine how fucking groundbreaking fighting the Colossi in 2005. In fact I don't think any game has been able to replicate the scale of those fights without quick time events. Well I guess that wasn't brief lol. Closing thought, extra points for having a great story and a real fucking ending. I don't remember the last game I played that had an ending that lasted more than 5 mins and actually had a satisfying conclusion, save Portal 2.

MNDWSH 2 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 So CM you literally do nothing in DE? Just walk? No inventory, npcs, combat, choices? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,922 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 $10 for 1-2 hours of gameplay wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the fact that the game was originally a source mod :] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Activison charges $60 for their biannual engine revamps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's interactive storytelling basically. $10 for 1-2 hours of gameplay wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the fact that the game was originally a source mod :] make no mistake, the graphics are high quality. It doesn't feel "fan-made" or "moddish". Edited February 20, 2012 by -CM- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
