I watched the Borderlands and Demon's Souls quick look. I wasn't sold on Borderlands and I'm pretty sure it isn't my thing now. Demon's Souls has my interest. I wonder if it will drop to $40 in 6 months or if it will be one of those limited print rare Atlus games that stays forever full price.

I wouldn't think so.. That'd be like telling Atlus to throw their money away. This is the closet they have ever had to major title in their lineup.
 
It's kind of lame that they didn't bother implementing a trade system for Borderlands. You really have to find a way to avoid douchebags... which, in 2009, is just idiotic.

I just wish you could bet weapons for the duels, so the winner gets the weapon automatically, not letting the other player chicken out.
 
Borderlands looks fun when in coop but it does look like it could get pretty boring pretty quickly in single player. It doesn't allow for real character creation, right? That's the games biggest offense.
 
God I love this season. So much awesome content read and play.

Phew! I guess some of you just have different opinions than me.

I saw that Borderlands quicklook and thought that it looked like a lot of fun. It also definitely looks like it would be a lot more fun to play in person with your own character. I mean, how fun is it to watch someone play Diablo?
 
Borderlands looks to be pretty much what I was expecting which is awesome, I now however have the dilemma of where to buy it. I can mildly upset my buddy who wants to play it with me on PC but odds are we'll barely play it together and I just won't get the mileage out of it on PC. Tis a toughy.

The power going out during the Quick Look reminded me of the episode of the endurance run where they had constant power cuts, that was an amazing ep.
 
All the gushing of Borderlands during the past few months Jeff has been giving on the Bombcast, I came into this Quicklook excited and ready to pre-order....

...and after watching it I came away ready to play it maybe never.

As mentioned, the enemies and scenarios looked dull. The most exciting thing to look forward to with the 30 level gap is better healing options and bullet regen?? DUDE THIS TOTALLY RAD NEW SHIELD HAS SUPER HEALING REGEN!!! I know it's just a quick taste of a single build type of hopefully many, but damn I did not see much to get excited over. Leveling up and looting will be in other games this fall.

And yea, the looting will make me never want to play this co-op, which looks like the reason to even play.

I found myself skipping through the Borderlands Quick Look to get to the good stuff, but it never came. I dunno, it just looks really boring...

skip to the last 10 min when Jeff is showing off the uber guns he got. probably the only entertaining aspect of the game from the Quick Look.
 
So yeah, Borderlands is starting to look real sweet to me... and I'm one of those cautious naysayers. At least this video from GB has people that know what they're doing in it.
 
Even if that load time was cut fully in half it'd still be long, regardless of how old the build is, that's crazy.

Absolutely 100% agree. It's the only aspect of the game I don't like.

Fucking PSO all over again.

But, but the pretty ashes :(.
 
Damn Tekken looks so good. I'm terrible at 3D fighters but this is making me consider a purchase. :D

I'm really hyped for tekken 6. Still don't know whether to get it on 360 or PS3. Definitely gonna get the PSP version though.

Yeah. I have a stick for 360 but I've always played Tekken with a dualshock so I might go with that.

You people saying TEkken looks REALLY good - have you played Soul cal IV ?lulz
It's good, but still no Tekken.

A great part of the appeal to me is that it's Tekken. SC - yeah, it's good, but no Tekken. Fucking grew up with that game :lol
 
Haven't played Tekken since 3 but god damn if that Quick Look doesn't make me want to play Tekken 6 right f'n now.

Or perhaps search for my copy of Tekken 3....

I wonder if Hwoarang plays the same, loved that guy in 3.

This just made me interested in Tekken. I own Tekken 5 DR on the playstation 3 home computer entertainment system, and just about every other fighting game released in the last 2 years. I feel a little burnt out on the genre, but then again, I've never dug into a Tekken game. It seems like we aren't getting a Virtua Fighter revision any time soon, so maybe this would fill my 3d fist fighting need.

Agreed. Hwoarang was awesome in Tekken 3.

Demand is pretty high for an Atlus title and they haven't been able to keep up with the shipments. I'd wager a guess that it's even outselling what Odin Sphere did. I think Demon's Souls will eventually be sold for a lower price, but the question becomes "when?"
