lol, at least you got to play the KZ beta (:_:). I almost never get invited to these things.

Some Batman screenshots found on Famitsu :



Also, some news from gaf, Dragon's Crown has shipped over 300K. That's great news considering the 1 million dollar budget :)

So, are the fools still predicting the demise of the Vita?

Of course. Every single day...

Huh? lol

Sorry about the delay. Being banned for calling out religious ignorance is a pain in the backside.

Anyway, I just want people to know that I actually did like Dragon's Crown and think it is genuinely a good game, I just think it has too few levels and gets a little repetitive by the end. had it had more levels (it's only got 9), then I'd definitely be giving it high 7's,low 8's.

Also, how does one apply for the Killzone MErcenary beta?

Too late to apply to the Closed Beta. But the Open beta will open sometime at the end of this month,

Saddened to see Dragon's Crown is short.

I got the Killzone Mercenary closed beta through a GameSpot code giveaway, some people got theirs through their e-mail after a registration done a few weeks ago.

"religious free dumb" hmmm yeah, well deserved.

ok so this is just to retag the page, thought i would make it worthwhile

That's the tricky part.  It's not actually THAT short.  it's short, yes, but not ridiculously so.  the campaign (which is the same for all six characters) is about 12 hours long, but a good half of that is backtracking/retreading.  like I said in the review, it's enjoyable, but I looooooathe last minute "oh, by the way, you thought you were about to go fight the final boss?  Well, sorry, you gotta go find nine talismans before you can do that, and to get them you need to go throuh every level again, beating the alternate boss".  it's a cheap tactic to make a short game feel longer, though as I said, the boss battles are all pretty sweet.  

Had they not pulled that last minute bullshit twist, I honestly would have given it a much higher score and not been as critical.  That kind of last-minute-fetch-quest-to-pad-the-time bullshit is like the lowest of the low, so even when a good game does it, it's bad.  This is a good game that does it, and that's bad. 

yes, you can argue that playing the different classes mixes it up a bit, and it does, but in the end it's still the same missions ad nauseum with slightly different gameplay.  Dragon's Crown had 9 stages and 6 classes and cost 40-50 dollars depending on what version you got.  On the flip side, Dungeon Defenders has 13 stages and 4 classes, and that game only cost 15 dollars.  The different character classes do in fact give a game better value overall (especially in multiplayer co-op like this), but it's not enough to make up for that last second fluffy twist.
