RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!


Recommended Posts

Recent interview with Volition producer Greg Donovan where he talks about Saints Row The Third..

 

"We thought why give the players a baseball bat when you can make it a giant sex toy to beat people up with?"

 

So I think we can say they're keeping to that element of being a bit silly with it... :lol:

Speaking of which:

.

 

And it gets a giant WTF from me.

The last thing I want is for this game to go style over substance.

could never beat it... :- but I was young and stupid, couldn't understand the game's mechanics. actually, the only Final Fantasy games I had been able to finish were 8 and 10, both with in-depth guides, on my own I could never figure out how to evolve my characters

you know how in FF8 you had to attach magic to your chars to make them truly powerful? every FF game had a similar system that I, a 13 year old ***, couldn't get a full understanding of. so at some point I would hit a wall, because my characters were always too weak.

 

I also could never guess if the bosses had exploitable weaknesses.

 

I should probably mention that I usually played Japanese imported versions, though -_-

It was pretty easy. Just put random junk into open slots and you could still win. VII and VIII both had no real balance. I don't remember IX or X's systems as well.

 

VI was more streamlined and managed to present challenges at times.

I tried beating Sephiroth with my party at least 10 times before giving up. I still have that save game, but I'll be damned if I ever load it

I don't even remember the first Sephiroth battle, the one with multiple parties. But they were both pushovers if you could remove wall and had omnislash or knights of the round.

 

Games that focus on combat shouldn't really have abilities that kill the final boss in one attack. I can understand a social RPG or an adventure game, but...

Well, one thing about Knights of the Round was that you had to dig it up in a long quest. I much liked VII's system over VIII and X, as 8's system was just so annoying with the draw system and so on, and X's sphere grid was just... boring.

 

also, Duke's got his Launch trailer (NSFW)

Tales of Monkey Island

 

Isn't one enough? Of Monkey Island too? They must be even crazier than our own Tale!

One is not enough. Five is not enough.

 

I need more.

I'm thinking you might be confusing Tales of Monkey Island with Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition.

 

But, with you, it's hard to tell.
