@ishiki  POP is cool, but no online, not saying online is the end all be all but it certainly helps replayablilty, I would have been traded in Uncharted 2 otherwise. Tomb Raider has better level design??? maybe. better puzzles??? hell yeah, but the gunplay sucked and thats where Uncharted really rapes ms. Croft.

As for 64, ill admit I was a PS guy never had N64 but i did play Mario 64 everynow and then, i didnt actually sit down and "play" it till I got the DS version (Luigi & Wario??? sold!) I was having a blast but IMHO the game just didnt age well for me. It wasnt the graphics I just didnt like that you have to replay levels over and over again to progress. it felt like the devs just try to make the illusion of depth and longevity when there wasnt any. Its not a bad game and by no means unplayable today like say Sonic Adventure. It just bored me after a while

I don't play games online... so that would be a big difference maker in our stance towards game. I agree that the gunplay in Uncharted is leagues better than Tomb Raider (and tomb raider's does need improving) Though the isometric one was a blast and didn't have tomb raider in the name.

However, the gunplay is exactly not the reason why I play those types of games. Thus, my preference to the glitchy tomb raider over uncharted still remains because the much better shooting does little for me. And my hope that they well limit the gunplay in future with uncharted and improve/increase difficulty to the puzzles (Maybe to the dismay of current fans)

And with Mario 64... I've heard that before so its okay. It's a good complaint that's been there for a really long time, no worth arguign about it :P.

I can see where you're coming from with most of those, even if I don't necessarily agree. I do disagree with Resistance though. The games are hardly overrated; they get a ton of hate, though I think they're great.

So what games do you actually love severence? I know you seem to have an Asain fetish (no offense) and I can't stand most asain games, so its hard to take you over opinion on those games seriouslyy

I would really have liked to like GTA IV but I couldn't. Not with that camera. To be more specific, driving camera. It never stays where you put it but it's also too slow to actually follow behind the car. In the end, I ended up having to concentrate on controlling the camera more than actual driving. And since driving is such a big part of the game, I couldn't stand it very long.

I don't agree with SMG, because this game is incredible. Although you don't like the camera system, well, I had a monster fun and I adore space.


its not just the camera, its the motion controls, and the fact there is some level design flows that stand out especially at the end of every level.

Edit: and looking at your sig i think Metroid Other M is quite underrated

Yeah Metroid is underrated, it's sad :(

Well... about motion controls I like them. I guess it's a relation of hate/like. Because they are top notch in the game, they respond very well.

I stopped reading/caring when you said Uncharted 2 wasn't great. I AM A FUCKING NINTENDO FANBOY AND I still thought Uncharted 2 was the best game of this generation so far.

 

Uncharted 2 = perfection.

 

Yeah mods, ban me, I called myself a fanboy.


EDIT 1: Oh yeah, and Severance, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are the highest rated games of this generation. And of all time: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Your threads are usually entertaining, but this is just attention whoring. Check your facts for once.


i'm not talking about the metacritic thing, i'm talking about the slogan in the boxart that says "the highest rated game of ALL time".

i don't have an asian fetish , its just a joke i do with darth about it , there is a lot of mediocre japanese games (even more than Western games i think?) released this gen , but none of them was highly rated , so they're not listed here.

as for the games i loved

Demon's Souls, Yakuza, Oblivion, Castlevania, Lost Odyssey  God Of War III, MGS4 , Fable III, Portal , Mass Effect and a lot more  (hey i don't hate games!)

I think anybody who comes here regularaly knows you actually play a shit load of games. :)    Way more than me I'm sure. Now get back to your asain fetish.

False advertising. I now hate Uncharted 2.

Bravo, great post, can you put in an entry for God Of War franchise.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
