Hmmm. Coming from a person who has played the series since it's inception...I'm going to agree with Kagekiri. Maybe those of you saying it is a masher haven't played against highly skilled opponents, or honed your skills to high level play.

Obviously you haven't seen the game in action...

I can't get both Gold and Platinum rewards? Damn it.

I hope people don't immediately praise this as GOTY or some shit simply because it is the anti-Activision. I mean...sure...if its good go ahead. But its a shooter...how good can it be?

Charlotte from Samurai Showdown had adequate armor. Now there's a real woman!

7 day, 12 hour a day work weeks are the norm for my job when things shift into overdrive and a release date is looming. Even though I'm sure it isn't fair in the least, people will be marked down performance wise if they don't stay and work. Very common stuff.

Lol. Thanks. I suppose you're right about there being no right way to admit liking one of those sims.

I know this is going to be a question that is hard to take seriously, but know there is no sarcasm or mocking intended. What is the appeal of games like these? I have a guy I work with who loves this stuff. Is it similar to pretending you're an all powerful mage or bad ass street fighter? Just...that the fantasy…

Yea. Don't forget to compare the sales either. Can you blame them for appealing to a wider market and trying to make money? I sure wouldn't. "Keep it real" and don't sell shit, or "Sell out" and be set for life. I'm sure you'd do the noble thing, right? Gimmie a break.

Did you happen to see if it was 3D enabled? I only wonder because the demo I played at E3 was on the XBOX and was 3D enabled. I found that interesting because I wasn't aware that was possible.

Infamous man. Infamous. What a snoozefest.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeet...if anybody played the Sonic Generations demo at E3 they would know that this next iteration is definitely not going the way of sucking by any means.

Yes!

I'm about six or seven hours in and I'm loving it. The combat could have used some additional flourishes, but it is satisfying enough that I enjoy each encounter for the most part.

Here, fuckin, here good sir.

EVERYBODY always shuns me at work when I say the EXACT SAME THINGS ABOUT THIS GAME! I hated it. I preferred Prototype. Man...I'm glad I'm not the only one.

GG Cod. You had a great run.

What class are you using bro? Don't change your class just because everyone says magic using is easier. I rolled a thief and saw my way through to the end. Memorize patterns, take your time, and focus your leveling on the attributes of your class. I'd be happy to help more just let me know.

Oh please....please....

I just beat demon's souls for the first time about a week ago. I loved it. Day one purchase...collector's edition.
