I was, but I don't like those QTEs. QTEs in IP have nothing to do with what's going on on screen-- they're just Simon Says prompts. At least in God of War you'll get appropriate prompts and a button press being directly linked to an action. IP is just....totally wrong.

And I finished it last night. The game's first 90 minutes are AMAZING. I could play them over and over. But the rest of the game is spectacularly shitty.

Yup.

RE2 is one of the few games I truly mastered.

To get the infinite gatling gun you had to do something ridiculous like beat each characters scenario in under 45 minutes, without using special weapons or health sprays OR saving. Which I did do. And then I think I never touched the game again.

Anyway, the only game to nail QTEs is RE4. Every other game is a sad pretender. Even the mighty God of War doesn't use them right. Inputting a long ass sequence of button presses and stick twirls every 5 minutes is no good. Every damn enemy should not have a QTE fatality. Every damn boss should not be 1 minute of spamming attacks and then a 30 second QTE sequence repeated 10 times.

RE4 kept them tight and clean. QTEs are dodges, jumps, very simple reactions. That's what a QTE should be. A simple little reaction speed test that rewards you with a few seconds of cool looking animation. Not 30 seconds of Simon while your character does an outrageous little dance.

The Krauser fight is awesome, because it goes on just long enough. It's like, 60 seconds of Dragons Lair, and then back to the real game.

If you don't like the Krauser fight then I'm sorry, you should just walk away from gaming. It has nothing to offer you.

You probably play games on Novice.

Trying to act like God of War is a simple hack and slash game isn't misguided or anything, but to act like you can get away with spamming the attack button on higher difficulty levels is extremely short-sighted if not disingenuous.

There's enough of a variety of enemies with plenty of strengths and weaknesses that dodging and parrying become half the fun in an already fluid and responsive combat system.

Getting through to the end of boss battles to be rewarded with a visual feast of a QTE is way more satisfying than some taco chanting "flawless victory".

Just go back to playing RE4 on Easy. You're probably good enough at it to play it on Normal by now, take a chance.

Can I get a hi-res scan of the cover so I can frame it? That's my main in the Soulcalibur universe, after all.  :-*

My name is on it, unless you want me to crop it out and it's still going to be cluttered with writing and shit. However,if you still want it.

Anyway, the only game to nail QTEs is RE4. Every other game is a sad pretender. Even the mighty God of War doesn't use them right. Inputting a long ass sequence of button presses and stick twirls every 5 minutes is no good. Every damn enemy should not have a QTE fatality. Every damn boss should not be 1 minute of spamming attacks and then a 30 second QTE sequence repeated 10 times.

You probably play games on Novice.

Trying to act like God of War is a simple hack and slash game isn't misguided or anything, but to act like you can get away with spamming the attack button on higher difficulty levels is extremely short-sighted if not disingenuous.
Yeah no of course you can't.

You only spam an attack at them until the Simon game comes up. Then you play Simon.

The Last Remnant doesn't seem like it will be anything special.  Infinite Undiscovery looks amazing as it always does.  SO4 is also going to be awesome.

The Last Remnant has the stink of UE3 all over it.  It's just hard looking at it and not thinking about LO, which I didn't like.  Still getting the game though.

if you glance at it quickly, the character art from those three jrpgs doesn't just look like it's all from one game -- it looks like it's the same two people. is there a more creatively moribund genre anywhere? no

I agree with this sentiment. I actually had to look up the definition of "moribund". +1

Infinite Undiscovery will probably be the best "next gen" JRPG this year.  Go for that.

maybe drohne's post will encourage JRPG developers to look up "creative"

Yes, American-made FPS.

You can blur that stuff, can you?

I'm not sure how long it will be.  On average a J-RPG can range from 30 to 100+ hours.

Fable 2 will probably be a really short story game, but have tons of other side quests and things like that to do.  Fallout 3 will also probably be really long with all the side quests.

Fallout 3 is going to be nothing like Fallout 1 and 2.  From the previews and stuff, it is basically Oblivion with guns.

Man, I may have to get a 360 after all. Is the hardware still shitty (unrealiable)?

If that egm doesn't convince you that japan is a creative wasteland for gaming, nothing will.

Like I said, I don't see anything in the rest of the world that is convincing me they are creatively inclined... maybe Little Big Planet and that one FPS platformer hybrid game that I forgot the name of. At least Japan is still making 2D.
