Lost tears of Kain on 08 September 2007

Ok I overexaggerated it was just one major spoiler not multiple ones. Two people said (it was Lost tears of Kain's second post and the reply that give up part of the endgame). If somebody told me that was going to happen before I got there I would be pissed off so that's why I said "major" spoilers.

all i said was that you have to turn into a big daddy, that doesnt give away any of the plot really, and i didnt tell you where in the game or why i have to

If you check any of the other posts, any time i mention anything i say it happened in you know whos office and you know what happened



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

I hate to break up the pissing party, but since when was BioShock hailed as an FPS RPG?

It has virtually no RPG elements and I've never heard Irrational refer to it as such. Yes, the SS series may have carried more of those RPG elements into the games but I haven't heard anyone tout BioShock as having any such features.

Not that I would have minded seeing a few more of them, but let's not make the game into something it was never meant to be.

@rocketpig - A fair viewpoint, and one that has helped allow me to enjoy Bioshock despite my having played SS2.

Edit - I wouldn't go as far as to say it had virtually *no* such elements, but they were not as much the core of the gameplay.

Prediction: Wii passes 360 in US between July - September 2008. (Wii supply will be the issue to watch, and barring any freak incidents between now and then as well.) - 6/5/08; Wow, came true even earlier. Wii is a monster.

To be honest, I think Deus Ex ruined me.

This isn't the first game I've played and thought, "I've seen (insert gameplay element here) done better in Deus Ex."

However, despite my inevitable frowning about some of the case, I hope this will open the door for more FPSRPGs, especially deeper ones.



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
