The Old Sony Megathread

[Clawson]

"Downward slide since FF7"?

He's pretty right.

Nah, FF IX was better than FF VIII. Furthermore, FF VII through FF X are fucking awesome. Didn't care for XII. XIII was horrible.

Yeah I'm glad he skipped IX in his destruction of the recent ones. I would've skipped VIII too but IX is really the best/most unloved Final Fantasy.

[Herr Matzat]

Yeah, but Spoony also hates FFVIII and FFX for really silly reasons.

[jrhodes]

I thought X-2 was okay. I went in with low expectations though and I knew it wasn't going to be a "traditional" Final Fantasy game.

Already seen and commented on them. Even Spoony admits the game is likeable in an odd kind of way.

Plus you've got to remember his whole schtick is raging on games/movies.

SEE GUYS, I CAN POST SINGLE PARTS OF A GAME THAT ARE RETARDED, DOESN'T THAT PROVE MY POINT OF HOW THE GAME IS BAD? LOLOL.

But no, yeah, I can't stand IX.

[TCO]

Just completed Limbo. What a game! I died so many times but I never got frustrated, that's how impressive it is. When you complete a tough puzzle you genuinely feel smart after it and I'm proud I completed it without looking up a walkthrough, something I thought I'd be sure to do after playing the first quarter of the game. Not sure what to make of the ending though.

Not really, since Quina is awesome.

Quina>Hot springs scene

Quinas general silliness can be excused. The ridiculous laughing scene in FFX can be excused. Hot springs scene in FFX-2 is the Katie Vick angle of Final Fantasy games, I can't get past it.

[Ruki]

I don't think I remember the Hot Spring scene. Wiped it from my mind perhaps?

[Herr Matzat]

It´s about ignoring the games story, ignoring FFXs story (as in taking a bath in sacret springs just for fun) to have an excuse to put the girls in bikinis and have them compare boobsizes.

I saw Tesco are taking pre-orders for ''Rage'' (out in Oct) - anyone picking it up? It's the first I'd heard of the game, but it could be good. Might opt to get it on 360 though as the system is gathering dust at the moment.

[Benji]

Me and, I think Hammy, were eyeing it. Looks like it may wind up another Brink though.

[Baddar]

I take it you're still picking up Dead Island though? It'll probably be a day one purchase for me.

[Ruki]

I take it you're still picking up Dead Island though? It'll probably be a day one purchase for me.

Le sigh, if only you were going to get it for the 360.

Also? My next PS3 game purchase will likely be Disgaea 4! Coming out the same day as Dead Island >_< If I can beat it by December 30th-ish, I will have beaten all 4 main games within a year

[Baddar]

I'm getting Dead Island for PS3 because my brother in law will be too - he hasn't got a 360.

Rage will depend on how many from here get it on either console.

So that's Dead Island, FIFA 12, PES 2012, Rage and WWE 12 over the next few months - and I still have a shitload of games I need to finish, namely LA Noire.

[Benji]

I take it you're still picking up Dead Island though? It'll probably be a day one purchase for me.

Dunno if it'll be on PS3, I want to destroy zombie hordes with you again, but most of the time I want to play, you're out playing football

[Baddar]

I need to keep relatively fit so I can play 5 a side on Tuesday's! - And we will ride again, no doubt. I saw that Dead Island looks like a gettable plat, with nothing too ridiculous, so I might try to get it.

[steesh07]

Just started playing Uncharted 2, never played the original but this one is excellent.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

MARCO!

[steesh07]

Anyone know of any other PS3 exclusives that are good? Need a reason to use my PS3.

[Baddar]

Resistance: Fall of Man is excellent. I can't get into the sequel, though.
