I just got my PS3 a couple weeks ago, and have yet to play the first one(besides the demo, anyway). I want to play that first. Plus, I have too many other games to catch up on.
As great as it sounds, it'll be a while before I get to it.  I'll probably end up getting this a year from now when it's $30.

downloaded the demo for the original Uncharted. I am a bit let down after playing it. The game looks good. It controls fairly well(the sixaxis stuff threw me for a loop). But so far it's just been one big shootout. This is made worse by the fact that I suck at this type of game play, especially without any type of lock on. Might as well be playing an FPS. Perhaps someone can reassure me that there is more to this game, and that the demo was just trying to appeal to the action crowd?
I want puzzles and exploration. I want friggin' Indian Jones.

I am intrigued by this game, but have zero intention of playing it due to the much talked about difficulty. When John(Keeper X) even stresses the difficulty of a game, I take notice. He is superhuman when it comes to games. The man will finish a game in 13 hours that might take me 40. Thing is, he doesn't go around claiming that all these games are easy, and inferring that everyone else is a pansy ass for not doing the same.
Gen, obviously you are very good at games. Or at least you have a lot of time to be able to get good at them. We get it. Some of us will never be as good due to just plain sucking(me) and/or time constraints(me and I'm sure many others).
It may or may not be intended, but you come off as having a "holier than thou" attitude. If you could just dial it down a notch, that would be great.

note: Sorry eds. I'll be quiet now.

MGS4 -

My town is actually pretty big(Pop: 140,000+) so I know there's all sorts of things I'm missing out on.
I've been doing more and more biking, which I find to be a great way to explore and see the city.
I've discovered that my city has all sorts of bike trails, including a 20 mile loop that connects several forest preserves. I've biked through some of it, and look forward to seeing the rest.
Fall is awesome for biking.

MGS4 - Should probably just code the whole thing:

played the demo of Valkyria Chronicles and loved it. Kinda makes me think of it as a next gen Shining Force. I would buy it right now, but the wife may be getting it for me for my birthday, so I have to wait.

Deadgirl - Well, that was different. I was having a hard time buying into the actions of everyone involved. Sure, some of it is plausible(I DO remember my teen years), but full suspension of common sense must be done in order to get anything out of this movie.
Plus, so many things go unexplained. Frustrating.

wow. That new trailer revealed so much more than I had known before. Actually, I think it reveals a bit too much. This seems pretty damn epic, and after this I will no longer be watching these things. Less I know the better.
Looks and sounds amazing to me. The voices work fine. Not perfect, of course, but they all seem to fit the characters.

Exactly this.

Most rpgs I've played don't have difficulty settings.
When they do: Traditionally, I would always pick the normal setting, mainly out of fear of shame. Nowadays, if a game has an easy setting, I'm going to pick it. I play games more for the experience, not for the challenge.
I started up Tales of Vesperia and was expecting difficulty settings, but there wasn't any. Then I saw that you can change the battle difficulty. I kinda like that. Keep it on normal, and if I have a lot of trouble with a boss or something, then I can change it.
Mass Effect I changed everything to the easiest settings. I loved the game. Sure, it wasn't especially challenging, but I enjoyed the experience.
Games like MGS, Gears of War, DMC, or God of War, I would never make it past the first few levels without easy or casual modes. By using easy I am able to enjoy the game. I would think the developers would prefer people actual play their game, than avoid it due to being too hard.
I'll never understand people who play games on hard(or higher) modes. You must have a pretty stress free life, if you enjoy that kind of difficulty. To each his own, I suppose.

I was playing MGS4, thinking it's a bit boring, when it suddenly became all sorts of awesome.

Now I just wish I could get out of this friggin war zone. Too much brown and grey.

Same with me. I never read a word of what he said about Fable II, and quite enjoyed it.


Huh? I thought the battle system was the best part of the game. Made me feel like a kick-ass hero. Fast-paced and fun.

This is one of the reasons why I LIKE the Fable games. I suppose it could be a little more challenging, though.

ha. Plant geeks unite!
ahem...anyway...
I'm going to go pinch a teenager and see what happens. I predict lawsuit(what? You think I'd pinch a dude?).

I've been married for ten years and have an eight year old. I've played games all the way from when I was a kid until now. It may have slowed a bit here and there, but I've never stopped.
Babies are not more interesting than video games. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.
