Yeah, that seemed really weird to me too.

Finally got through Downpour. The boss was kind of disappointing, it was mostly just beating off the same monsters about 20 times then pressing A rapidly. Overall, this game out of the series was so-so... I guess it's hard to top the first few, but the lack of diversity in monsters, especially since all of them were humanoid, was probably my biggest disappoint. The mind-fuck was still pretty heavy in place, the graphics are pretty awesome, but there's a lot of things lacking. Silent Hill is supposed to change up into a hellish state every now and then, but really, all that happened was you got knocked into some random running sequence from a red-blackhole. The puzzles were aggravating, especially since they were glitched. Overall, I'd give this a 4/10. Still has its eerieness, graphics are good... but the plot, side characters, side quests, and the fact I only beat on psycho-looking people rather than monsters makes me think I'm playing a completely different horror game than playing Silent Hill. I should try and find a cheap copy of Origins since I haven't played that one yet, and Homecoming I never got through, either.

I beat Calamity Trigger Reconstruction. How long are each character's stories after that?

I liked Reconstruction for the most part, but there was a sever lack of fighting in it and tons of dialogue. I guess thats why it's called "Story" mode.

Thank god the dialogue is pretty good, especially considering it's a Japanese game.

Ys Origin

 

I just beat it with one character. I may just play the mage guy on easy or something. The other guy I still need to try out.

Also, I wish that Ys I and II comes out on Steam. Along with Seven and Ark of Napishtim. PC versions does exist for all of them. I already played I, II and Ark but I and II I pirated a long time ago and Ark I played on the PS2... or was it PC? Eh. They're all great games. Deep? Nah but they're fun.

I have a friend who says it's overrated and that it's not a particularly good platformer.

 

Even if that's true (which I guess it is to some extent), it's not the bloody point! It's a mixture of things anyway, and it's about the 'experience'.

 

Yeah, the platforming frustrated me at times (that fucking Meat Circus level...ugh!). But for the most part, I thought the game was brilliantly designed. The level design in particular feels like a lot of thought was put into it.

Uncharted_Golden_Abyss.png

 

Just finished it. I actually think it might be my favorite game of the series; the gunplay felt better, it had less of a reliance on bullet sponges, and the final boss fight was much better. It didn't have the big scripted sequences like the other games, but those were never my favorite parts anyway.

 

My only real complaint is that once, just ONCE, I'd like an Uncharted game where

got old in Uncharted 3, nevermind in Golden Abyss. The game got a bad wrap, which I felt was a unfair... maybe it would have suffered a better fate if it came out before UC3.
