Have you seen Kojima's?
I tend to think people get really caught up on how bad of a writer Kojima is that they forget he is actually a great director, especially since most of the quirks of his direction come from the gameplay side of things.
I think its less to do with filling a missing niche and more to do with a team-up that has potential. Like mentioned before, Kojima's an idea man and del Toro could serve as a restraint against his more silly notions. Plus, with Kojima at the helm, it would likely feel like a different series anyways.
Justified potshots against both aside, Kojima may be a terrible writer but his direction, especially his goofiness with gameplay and its concepts, lends itself well to a horror title. del Toro was supposed to cover the writer duties, or at least serve as an editor.
Can someone come and get del Toro and Kojima together so they can make their own horror thing? P.T. and the surrounding news was one of the brightest points last year and this will likely be one of the most disappointing. Konami just sucks.
Maybe I'll finally beat Bloodborne this weekend so I can actually review the damn thing so it's only a month or so late rather than any longer. I'm done with the Nightmare place and have moved on to the Dream of Mensis and the giant spider and stupid things that give me frenzy a lot. I have to be closer to done than…
X in general had the worst costume design. I mean, Lulu is essentially wearing a corset with a skirt made of belts and a fur overcoat. And she lives on a tropical island.
After seeing her in HD for the first time for the new Dissidia it was like falling in love all over again.
I hit that cutscene after a death and ended up in prison-like environment where the back entrance led to Paarl. I get him to about half health before he goes beasting all over me. I thought I had to beat him to progress, but I must have missed something while exploring.
I wish I were better at Bloodborne because I love it and want to see more of it, but get stuck on the bosses for long periods. That electricity beast guy keeps killing me. Though I have a friend in town this week so I haven't been playing it as much as I would like.
That's actually an interesting way of doing it, so I'll be pumped to run into those then.
I'm still trying to get the hang of parrying with guns, I think I made a poor choice with the pistol and it just doesn't have the stopping power on certain attacks. This game is definitely a lot more mob-centric though, especially that bonfire.
Dang. Oh well. Still haven't seen another weapon yet. Previews weren't kidding when they said that this game doesn't have the same ludicrous amount of weapon drops as the others.
Bloodborne is so cool that it hurts to type it right now because I could be playing that instead. It also hurts every time I die in Bloodborne because that's more time it will take before I can start Pillars of Eternity. If someone could conjure up an extra day or two over the weekend, maybe a Smarchday or something,…
I feel bad for not having played it more, I've only put maybe 5 (distracted) hours into it and just beat the Cleric Beast. I'm rusty as all hell. Game is gorgeous though, I can't wait to see some of the non-city environments.
It's actually my favorite book after being introduced to it to through STALKER. Just bought it again after losing my SF Masterworks copy.
Every company must have just assumed that there wasn't enough overlap between major RPG releases. March is the new November. My only saving grace is that April is pretty dead for me in terms of releases, so I have time to play catch up.
So I found out my distaste for Yakuza 3 mostly just stemmed from not entering boss fights with a billion healing items. I would get stuck on bosses for the longest time but I just had my first boss properly equipped to heal and beat it on my first try. Sure, I suck at the game, but I no longer dread playing it. Now I…
Wait, you're right. I take it all back.
KOTOR II is still my default response to someone who says BioWare is a better developer than Obsidian. Disregarding that Neverwinter Nights 2 was also better (Or at least, Mask of the Betrayer was), KOTOR II is still a better game than KOTOR even in its unfinished state. I can't really add to it any more than others…
