Heavenly Sword demo dated.

You talked about the fat guy more than that. Plus, it's not like it's hard to remember you saying that. I am reminded every post you make.:lol

Who gives a shit? So he likes to enthuse over the graphics, big deal. Different people are interested in different things.
 
Marconelly said:
He's right though. Even if the gameplay is total suckage, this game for many will be a must buy for story/actor performances/graphics alone.

Witness: Dreamfall, Shenmue among others.
 
Madman said:
Right here, he is complaining that people are focusing in on graphical features of the said game, Heavenly Sword. I find it rather ironic that he would complain about such a thing, since it is not all that different from his analysis of the fat guy's jiggle. Both of those things have zero to do with gameplay, yet he found it perfectly reasonable to call out people on focusing on non gameplay elements.

man, that 'fat guy jiggle' thing is just a tag. It was hardly an analysis. Ignore it or something. I said that after watching a new video and noticing that the obese guy's body didn't move when he ran. It's not something that I'm REALLY concerned about. It looked odd when I watched the video, but I haven't thought about it since.

Plus, I'm not against being excited about graphics.
 
Now do you know what I'd hate!? If people played the demo for 5 minutes and say that the game play is cr@p. You will have to sit down for a while and really master the combat system - don't play it like a button masher. Understand what the buttons do, think of tactics, play around. Give the game your time, and I'm sure it will give so much more back. :)

lol, same here. In fact gameplay comes somewhere below sound in importance for me.

If we don't get this I'll be really surprised.
 
yeah, immersion and story are very important aspects to me. Hence, while I am enjoying playing Sigma right now, Im feeling its certainly weak in some areas.

This is my least anticipated game on PS3 next to Lair. I just don't see the appeal.

that would suggest you are still anticipating it though...or a re you saying that you would prefer gundam: target in site?
 
karasu said:
Whoa. What games have you played with stories so good?
Click to expand...

Not so many tbh, which is partly why I don't play games very often.

Deus Ex, Broken Sword 1&2, Monkey Islands, Silent Hill 2... these games all have great stories. It's not up there with great cinema or literature, but they are better than most TV.

What word should I use so that you sony fanboys won't eat me alive? I am certainly curious to see the graphics, but as far as gameplay goes I have zero interest.
 
Can't wait to play this. I still have some doubts concerning the gameplay of this game, so a demo is more than welcome :)

Then what exactly is the point of posting in a thread for the game?

I'm not allowed to state my opinion? What was the point of your post other than sounding offended because of yet another differing opinion? I don't want to get personal but it seems your purpose lately has been fighting fanboys in message boards which I want no part of.

WTF? Show me a post that's written by me that makes me a retard. I'm not the one trying to be another Wario64/Bud character with your cheap 3 word posts with no periods.

Opinions are one thing but what is they point in popping into a thread and basically saying "LOL LOL I don't have interest in this game"?
 
karasu said:
dude, the gameplay is not the ONLY thing I'm interested in. I'm all for a well presented story. It's just that for so long now all of the talk about the game has been about facial expressions, hair, and QTE's and no one is really talking about the game play. The facial expressions are most definitely impressive, but they don't guarantee either a good story or a good game. I'm hoping to high heaven that the game play stands up to the visuals. That's why I'm excited about the demo. Not because I'll get to see more of Nariko's facial expressions or Kai's histrionics. I want it to feel like I'm wielding a heavenly sword.

That's complete bullshit!!! They have a 2 minute video on PSN ****ing now talking exclusivly about the gameplay.

You can leave out the "LOL LOL". I also said that I just don't see the appeal, which is my opinion. I guess any non-positive comment in "your" threads means trolling. You can ask 90% of members why they pop into a thread to say they have no interest because that is what GAF's posts are composed of.

Your opinion was the least anticipated opinion in this thread. I just don't see the appeal of your opinion considering your agenda. You could ask me of course "if my opinion was the least anticipated why did you waste your time to reply to it?" Well, I was trying to a be dick about it.
 
karasu said:

Click to expand...
A couple games come to mind. SotC, God of War 1, God of War 2 (strictly for its awesome ending), and the Final Fantasies with 7 being the best of the bunch.

Other than that though, I think most games have bad to terrible stories.

This statement makes you look like a jerk. I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt about the game not exciting you until you basically started down this path.

Basically, you post like a jerk trying to get a rise out of people. Cut it out and you will lead a happier life.

I just hope it doesnt have the constant respawning cheapness like NG

Not sure why you bought Sigma if you are at such odds with one of its core functions. The "respawn" occurs in select areas for specific reasons and is far from cheap. Learn to play the game or get to understand why certain things happen in it.

While I wouldn't go that far, I do have my reservations with both. The presentation, polish and scope are all certain to be there in spades, but I'm not sold on the gameplay or inherent fun of either - as in excecution, not concept (Lair more so than HS). If I can get this demo (haven't been able to DL anything in months due to connection issues) and it's a good reflection of the game that'll help greatly.
I'll refrain from any more comments on games not titled HS to keep from steering things of track. This is great news and hopefully a sign of more demo content coming with greater frequency.

That's a curious comment, and while I can't say I feel the exact same way, I also think there's something to it.

I decided to make a new thread about it.

Though I am not interested in the game, I just wanted to ask, are you a gamer? I mean, do you actually PLAY games?

"It is already known that the Heavenly Sword demo will be hitting the Euro PSN this Thursday - IGN have also got word from Sony that the demo should hit all territories simultaneously.

Plus, according to Sony the demo is the same as that shown during Sony's Gamer Day earlier this year."

Awesome! :D

What is in the Sony Gamer's Day demo? Is it that short level when they run across the ropes? I hope it is more than that.

I can't remember which one was at Sony's gamer day, but the rope one was at E3!

Which is the reason why I always buy the legacy of Kain/ Soul Reaver games.
