So this looks really... interesting.
I dropped a preorder on it even though I'm sure it'll be $5 in a few months. It's too abstract and bizarre to appeal to a mass audience. But, I'll take creativity and unusual ideas over Modern Warfare every time.
Comes out next month.
Played the demo, wasn't thrilled. I hope the actual game is better.
A friend of mine did the translation work for this game. Said the story is pretty wacky but good stuff, and it looks like the game is pretty decent too.
Unfortunately I already have a shit ton of games to finish and am busy as fuck all for the next few months... maybe after august I'll check it out.
I liked what I played in the demo. I'll buy it.
Been interested in this one since I first saw screens of it, looks really good in motion. Do want.
I will fish it out of the bargain bin in a couple months.
I'm not feeling the gameplay at all, at least from the demo. You can shrug off death by mashing buttons, you have to "purify" your weapons which really just makes you stand still for about 5 seconds as it doesn't seem to have any interesting applications, and the combat itself appears to be like a poor man's Devil May Cry. The jumping is alright, I guess, but based on what's available in the demo, your projectile weapon is next to useless.
This game was directed entirely by Okami's art director, and while it's pretty and people are giving it good reviews because of aesthetic choices, it just seems like a poor gameplay experience.
This is a retail release? I got a PSN vibe the whole time I played it. I can't see this being worth full price based on the demo. Granted, that probably means they made a shitty demo that doesn't do the full game justice, and it wouldn't be the first time.Quote:

What the hell is going on here? Seriously what the hell.Quote:

My favorite example.
Shit's lame. Stop it.
Delayed until the middle of next month. :(
I think it needs some space between it and Catherine anyhow. I think El Shaddai is going to be the better game, but they both fill the weird Japanese game niche.Quote:

This came in the mail from Amazon today, but I'm waiting until tonight to play.
Reviews seem to be very polarizing. It's either 9/10 or 5/10.
I see that, and raise you...Quote:

No problem... everything's fine.
Really want this but almost certain to see this at $20-$30.
I want to get this really bad...but I think I'm going to wait on a price drop.
Beat it yesterday. It's very short, but sweet.
It's simple: If you're really into visuals or art-design, you'll be able to overlook anything wrong with this game. The art is that good. There are some problems here and there with some ambiguous platforming, and the combat is a bit simplistic, but it's good. And like I said, if you like artistic visuals, you'll be impressed. It's either not worth your time, or nearly transcendent based on that alone.
I'm a fan of Rez, so I have no problem with shallow game experiences, but they have to be good. Playing the demo of this game, it was impossible for me to focus on attacking a single enemy. It kept switching off when I didn't want it to, and the jumping is about the worst I've ever experienced in a 3D game. So they should have made a movie instead.
Nearly every level is different from a design standpoint.
Sounds like this might be bumped up from a skip to a rental for me.
I'm patiently waiting on Gamefly to ship it to me. They bumped No More Heroes PS3 up the list on me, but still won't send me El Shaddai.
I've only seen the trailer, and some of the levels looked cool artistically, but some looked so awful I wanted to die. I didn't realize there was any excitement for this game.
Played this for a few hours, glad I rented it, non-committal on a purchase even at $20
Yeah, this one didn't get past the "does this interest me based on 500 word internet previews" stage for me. It might as well be Cooking Mama meets My Little Pony.
Definitely surprised by the high marks this is getting. Maybe it is good but I didn't like the demo outside of the visuals. Maybe I was doing it wrong but it took forever to beat some of the enemies (looked like some small arena) and I just got tired and quit.
Found this for $13 this week and figured that sounded about right. God help me, I'm kind of enjoying it, although I've only played maybe an hour so far. It's as pretty as it is pretentious, I've walked long distances looking at scenery without an enemy to liven up the place, and the combat system seems pretty simple so far, but apparently sightseeing with a bit of straightforward combat is what I'm in the mood for right now.

I lost interest a few hours in. The combat never really seems to evolve. I should break it out and finish it one of these days because the story/setting is very cool.
Wait, there's a story? I thought it was just a random collection of pseudo-mystical semi-biblical audio clips hinting at some kind of narrative, with the occasional bit of video to remove any kind of storytelling coherence.

Don't worry. Everything's fine.
