I read that this game had pretty good reviews so i just rented it from gamefly. Really looking forward to it. Is this game related to The Tales of Graces F that is coming out on PS3 next month?
As of right now i bought the 3DS with the Mario bundle. I am very open minded about the games i play, so if you or anyone else recommend any interesting good quality games i am all ears.
I just bought a 3DS. Havent owned a nintendo handheld or console since the Gameboy Advanced. It is great to revisit some of the franchises that I grew up playing all over again.
All i am saying from a long term fan of Sony is that this gen has been tough for them and they have fell short when trying to maintain their dominance in terms of this is the system to buy and we have the games to back it up. I see Starhawk is going to be another exclusive that will be lost in all the parade of games this year. It will sell a few thousand, but along with all the other exclusives Sony has put out this generation it will not be one that will make non sony users go out and buy that console. Wrongthinker dont mention gt5 it came out the gate utter crap. It has had several patches game looks like a mummy. Last Guardian wtf that game has been in development hell. Who knows when it will come out. Yes you suppose to compare resistance am killzone to cod even though its a multiplatform game. They all are trying to grab the same audence. In gameinformer 227 games released over the holiday, no sony exclusive broke the top 10 in sales. 2 nintendo exclusives did break the top 10. I guarantee you those games pushes console sales. Especially for the 3ds mario game. Thats why psv isnt selling in japan no games to push the console. Regardless of the quality of the game if your games cant gain mass appeal. Your system will not sale. Last console gen you knew what system to buy for the best games a PS2. That is why it sold like hell.
Where has Sony sales been this console generation? They have been in third place in sales this whole console generation. I have been a console owner since the 80's first with nintendo and then with sony. Sony used to be the go to company when it came to the system to buy and games to play. Sony used to have the most and best developers under its wings to put those games out. When you look at sales in the top 10 where are those exclusives nowhere on the list. Don't get me wrong there have been some good developers and games on ps3. Uncharted, heavy rain, god of war, and littlebigplanet. But this is a business you are trying to push units, those games aren't selling consoles like they are supposed to. Make an uncharted ps3 bundle and put it against a halo 360 bundle. Which one is going to sale a million units the fastest? Put a mario wii bundle and a littlebigplanet ps3 bundle on the shelf and see which sale the quickest. True some sony exclusives do have polish. But polish only go so far. Nintendo used to be sony only competiton not anymore. Nintendo only has a few exclusives and put out a few games each year, but those few sale millions. Thr psv still dont habe a system seller. The next gen sony better get right
I tried to give this game a chance, but it felt like it was missing something. To be honest it seems this generation a lot of I am not saying all but a lot of Sony's exclusives have been a bit mediocre. Look at Killzone 2/3, Resistance, Ratchet and Clank, and to a certain extent Infamous and Littlebigplanet. When compared to other games in their generes they fall short. Killzone and Resistance up against Halo and COD not a chance. Littlebigplanet against Mario not by a long shot. The only exception to what I stated has been Uncharted 2 , Heavy Rain and God of War. I only say Uncharted 2 because Uncharted 3 was only ok. When the next gen consoles drop Sony really needs a shakeup with its exclusives and create some real console sellers.
I really have enjoyed this game after getting used to the combat and overall game mechanics. Curt deserves the props he is getting along with his studio. The game does have minor issues but nothing game breaking. I have been gaming for over 24yrs and have seen video games evolve over the years. I think it is a well made game for a new studio and i.p. Gamers born into the HD generation need to give developers bit of a break as you have not experienced and seen first hand how far this form if media has come and to gain respect in the entertainment industry. Give credit where credit is due
