Video & PC Game Discussion

Metal Gear Solid in 3d?!!! my Lord... that's about it... great to hear that... shame that I only have an old PS2.. but who knows... Did anyone is aware if Starcraft 2 is already out for selling... I have heard that there's a pilot version already out there for testing... but don't know about the main game... sure I looking forward to it... anyone...?

Silent Hill 8
Metal Gear Solid: Rising
Twisted Metal sequel
Maybe possibly GoldenEye and the Parasite Eve spinoff thing
Fable 3

Motion control is retarded. Has been on the Wii, will be on other systems. But apparently Microsoft decided that games are not important, so anyone who buys their worthless product (spoilers: no one will) will have to enjoy petting animals that aren't there. It's a gimmick. But at least with the Move and Kinect there's the possibility of good graphics too so we're not shackled to play Mario spinoffs and kiddie games all the time (though we probably will play simply crap games with early XBOX launch-quality graphics).

I also can't get too excited about anything Nintendo did, except for Goldeneye, though I haven't looked into it. I've never cared for Mario, Donkey Kong, or Kirby, except for Mario Kart games. Maybe they have good gameplay. Whatever. I like a good mature story. Nintendo has provided exactly one game I know of for that in this generation (Shattered Memories) and even that was a reinterpretation of an already-made game. Maybe I should look into the 3DS, but handhelds don't appeal to me that much (but I really wish Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker was not only on the dam PSP. No one has a PSP!). Nintendo apparently will never be able to shake its cash cow series, and even though they sometimes come out with a game with great gameplay and something that is truly fun that all people can enjoy, they are a kiddie game company. And with the Wii, they managed to really sink their teeth into the middle aged and old people demographic with their wonderful line of trashy gimmick games (let's all workout).

I kind wish I had something better to say about the other two, though. They're not much bett-SPACE MARINES!

Also, were there any promising games that aren't sequels, or were they just drowned out? I'm starting to feel games are getting pathetic (excuse me while I nonetheless can't stifle my excitement for Fable 3).

Really? I lost faith in Nintendo since 64 and I felt that the playing is for kids while Sony is more for story telling more mature and strong... as a Resident Evil addict I can say I prefer way more that kind of games but with all this Wii revolution, seems like people only want to waste time and as you say casual play... while I want story... but well, not every game is flawless and you have to stay with what is there...

My PSN name is ilostmymind

This game is consuming my soul.

Finally playing Blue Dragon.  Liking it

^ Gaming journalists these days look at production values more than the gameplay itself, I think. No doubt Red Dead looks gorgeous, but how much actual fun it is to play will still hinge on which individual is playing it. Take a chance and rent the damn thing. That's what I'm going to do with Alpha Protocol. And the reviewers hated that one.

As I said, my brother and best friend were the ones that said red dead was "good" but dull, and both have now sold it One game I am intrigued by is Alan Wake. Might have to play it when my brother is working

Alan Wake has a good story, voice acting, flow, and all that. The action gets a little monotonous. Don't buy it, rent it. However, the real name of the game should be:

No, Red Dead is an amazing game besides some stiff gameplay mechanics. One of the best stories you're going to find in gaming. I'm sure it's the setting that's not everyone's cup of tea, which is probably why your friends might not have liked it. This is coming from someone who was unable to finish any GTA due to boredom.
