Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
The guy said: "HD-DVD discs, particularly those from Warner Brothers, are better featured and cheaper"
Cheaper? In my country, HD-DVD disk have always been more expensive than BluRay disk, by about $2 to $4 each!
Is there a country where HD-DVD disks are cheaper than BluRay???
Coming from the owner of both formats, PS3 + 360 drive, I'm glad blu-ray won and that blu-ray had a great CES showing
There is no doubt HDDVD currently has more features, and with the same video quality, it is the superior format as of now. BUT my support lies with Blu-ray, mainly due to the fact that a new format has to become the successor to DVDs as a computer storage medium sometime in the near future... and I'd take the 25 gigs over 15 gigs any day (forget dual/triple layers... DL-DVDs has shown its not cost effective even after all this time). Morever, the features offered on HDDVDs will soon become a standard on BDs as well.
I'm sure blu-ray will drop in price and will start to become a standard in PCs and burners will roll out at bargain prices... certainly can't wait for that day!
RIP HDDVD... I'll bury you nicely besides my betamax... or maybe I'll just wrap it and send it to someone I don't like
