| Erisian said: Thank you for your words of welcome.. I'm sure you weren't just buttering me up for your "Buy Uncharted & LBP" spiel. :p Actually you may be on to something - I DID hate the Uncharted demo too! Felt like Tomb Raiding... And as for LBP, I got the LBP 80-gig bundle (as it was the best price), traded in LBP the next day. I totally hated it.. sorry!! |
I'm probably the one person on the internet who liked that demo, but it was still nothing compared to the game. You get a pair of relatively useless weapons, the worst story segment of the game, you don't see half the characters, you don't do any platforming at all, really, and it's just really linear and easy. Believe me, get the full game. You won't regret it.
As for not liking LBP...you have no soul. Actually, you probably just didn't give it a chance. For the first hour or so, many people despise it (and before you respond, makingmusic, don't). Let me guess- you played the first few levels, in The Gardens, and thought "wow, this is stupid and overly simple and kiddy", and I thought the same thing and didn't play it for another month. I didn't trade it in, though. Then I decided to keep playing, and it does get better. You should buy the Game of the Year edition when it releases in a couple of weeks, and give it another chance. Play all the way through, and try the community levels.
Killzone 2 is great, but it has quite a niche appeal- it's more hardcore, if you will, than CoD4. More difficult, more complicated. It's not for everyone. Same with inFamous, which really did have a terrible demo. If you are into sandbox/superhero games, ignore the suckiness of the demo (again, I liked it, but in terms of representing the game, it failed, like 99% of demos), and buy it.
Flower and WipEout HD are two great first party titles on the PSN. Flower may look retarded, but it isn't- at least, not in a bad way. It's a great experience. WipEout HD is a fantastic racer, with quite a bit of value, considering its price.
Then there's MGS4, but I'm not even going to try to convince you, because if you don't own it yet, you probably don't want to own it. I'll let Darth pester you to buy it until you finally give in.
Resistance: Fall of Man is a great FPS, but CoD4 and KZ2 are better. Both Ratchet and Clank games are brilliant (again, ignore the demo. I haven't played the ToD demo, though, I got it when I got my PS3).
And then later this year, get Uncharted 2 and R&C: A Crack in Time...or else.
