I want this. I've got a slight of the way through ME2 on PS3 (obvs ME1 isn't available singularly on PS3) but didn't understand what the fuck was going on so dapped out. I gots to get involved when I has more time. I liked what I'd vaguely experienced.


This game will have you loving it more and more as you go on. The exploration was done best in the 2nd game. I was hoping they would improve it further, but you don't have as much freedom in 3 which is annoying. But where you lose that in 3, you gain an even more gripping and emotional story. And the thing is that the 3 games are in my opinion inseparable. They are good on their own, but the collective experience is hard to accurately describe. It's amazing.

The only shit thing is that I played the Citadel DLC on my first playthrough, which defo ruined the experience slightly.

I still think that was a new Snatcher in the works, especially since Suda was strongly hinting at it in interviews...(Suda has said that Snatcher is one of his favourite games,) then it got downgraded into a radio drama instead of getting outright cancelled. A shame.

I didn't know about that. When did that happen? Wouldn't put it past Konami to be honest. Apparently, they've also cancelled Zone of the Enders 3. The thing is, Kojima has almost willingly dropped himself in a hole of Metal Gear games until he retires.

I didn't want to choose which next-gen console thread to post this in, since it relates to both, so I'll put it here.

For an interesting contrast between the two companies, compare these interviews from Gamescom, by the same journalist, with Sony's Jim Ryan and Microsoft's Phil Harrison.

I honestly don't see why Harrison even did that interview when he could've just handed out pamphlets instead.

Fucking hell why is Dragon Quest V on DS so damn expensive. 60$? new but 30$ used for only the damn cart?

Why is this so different than the others on DS?

Had a bet going with a few friends to see who could beat Ninja Gaiden 2 on Path of The Master Ninja first.While they gave up on the 1st or 2nd chapter,I kept going regardless of how insanely difficult it was.Not the easiest method of earning money,but fuck it. :king:

Anyone remember this? Shown at E3 years ago. Was supposed to be some RPG or something from EA.
I guess it had the same fate as Agent.
