Kantor:
Get Uncharted after hating the demo? Uh.. what? I remember just after booting up the demo, the main character (Drake, is it?) uttered a terrible, cheesy one-liner as if he were some modern-day Bruce Willis in some crappy sequel or other. I don't like cheesey characters, lame dialogue or carbon copied twenty-something macho babe-magnet heroes in vests with cuts over one eye. It's all so overdone. I eagerly awaited the U2 preview at E3 this year to maybe change my view of Uncharted but it just seemed like another B-grade action movie.. running from one narrowly-escaped explosion to the next. Reminds me of "Calculon, there's a fire at the movie studio.. come quickly before a fiery explosion chases someone down a corridor!" So all in all, sorry Kantor..No Sale!!
As for LBP.. well maybe you're right.. maybe I didn't spend enough time with it. But Sackboy just made we want to punch him in the face.. a lot! I thought I would enjoy the game but i despised it. And please don't assume I though it was "too kiddy" after all I enjoy Lego Star Wars, Mario, Pikmin etc. I love Studio Ghibli Films too so I'm not in the least threatened by "kiddy" material. But LBP.. sorry, No Sale!
I also tried demos for Lost Planet, Resistance, Motorstorm, Folklore (with its hilarious misspelling of Irish mythological beings haha).. just so much meh!
I did forget a handful of PSN games though, I did enjoy Flower somewhat as well as Linger In Shadows. Wipeout just feels like an F-Zero clone though.
So you see I tried a lot of the games you suggested, but none of them were impressive really. I will say though that the Resi 5 demo made me buy a PS3, and the Katamari demo made me go buy the game at full-price. Oh and Eternal Sonata was a gamble that really paid off.. love it.
Sorry you couldn't convince me to buy your fave games, but anyway thanks for your time lol.
