coming in 2030...

on the bright side of things, i like how every champion have different minions
also hope it strays from the norm and do something different, maybe i little more light hearted, catering less to the "professional" players...

also co-op missions, and less centered pvp content... at least it seems to have more than one map, it's already better than dota and lol then...

hmm on a related note wasn't Starcraft 2 supposed to be episodic? wtf happened to the 2nd campaign the game has been out for over 2 years...

It looks cool but I don't own SC2 and won't buy it just to play this. I read on their FAQ something about possibly being available with the Free starter version but possibly with some restrictions.

the next expansion is coming out next year. This year is Diablo III and Mists of Panderia.

Kingdom Hearts does look interesting. I almost picked up a title from the series on PS2 a couple months ago, but I think I read something on the box that made me put it down.

the whole series is incredibly corny, but the first kingdom hearts game has top-notch gameplay. i think it should be worth a try for everyone.

yeah the story is literally impossible to follow after the first game, but the first game itself is quite an experience ... really cool playing in all the disney worlds, and the whole thing's got this really cool atmosphere.

then the second game got bizarre and not fun. owell

i replayed the first game a while ago and had a blast. when i proceeded witht he second one i couldn't make it far into the game, since it had me literally walking straight from cutscene to cutscene.

yeah that game has the longest, most incomprehensible intro ever, and the rest of the game wasn't much better. no idea how i finished it.

in a way it got even worse after the intro section, since that was when the maps literally turned into tunnels

you may be right, frankly i hardly remember any of the game except that the battle system was needlessly complex and there were lots of guys in hoods

like you could fucking transform into this super powerful shit during battle but it was never needed

ryu

2012-03-30 10:38:15 am

haha yeah

ryu

i didn't replay far enough to get there, but i hear you get abilities that let sora automatically run up to the targets when you press the attack button. so after a while you supposedly don't even need to have much control in battle and can just mash the x button

that sort of goes along with what i was saying about the sly cooper sequels, which just added more shit after the first one and they weren't as good

ryu

2012-03-30 10:41:17 am

i somehow never heard of those games until people started talking about the hd collection and possible sequel

arkarian

simpler is almost always better, like you can do complex but it pretty much needs to be a strategy game ... valkyria chronicles is a good example of an extremely complex game done well

i definitely recommend going back and playing sly 1, there's only 10 levels and it doesn't take long

ryu

2012-03-30 10:44:02 am

guess i'll do just that someday

think i gave it a 9 which is pretty much my highest recommendation

ryu

2012-03-30 10:46:01 am

i also need to check up on jack & daxter

heh sounds like you're like me ... i played all these games within the past few years when i was in college, never had a ps2 growing up

first jak is pretty fun, but i can tell it would have been a lot better had i played it when it came out ... i love the second game though

jak 3 is a piece of shit mostly

ryu

2012-03-30 10:47:42 am

which was the one where you drove cars in a city or something...

ryu

2012-03-30 10:47:47 am

i hope that wasn't the second one
