You need more bubbles.
Hmm interesting stuff. Thanks for the link. However, this is how I see it: SotC is definitely a greater technical achievement, while MGS3 is more pleasing to look at. I can never get over how good the character models look for a PS2 game. The only thing that I didn't find to be on par with everything else was the fire effects. IIRC they were 2d and made the framerate slow down considerably. The whole battle with The Fury happened in slo mo because of it.
Now that you mention it, I...
Have you played MGS3? I own both MGS3 and SotC and I'm pretty sure MGS3 has better graphics. Unless by "best looking PS2 game" you meant best art direction or most engrossing, in which case I completely agree with you.
Sorry to tell you, but Clover Studios doesn't exist anymore. I believe they split up and some of the key figures got together and formed Platinum Games. I wish they would make something more to the tone of Okami rather than the super flashy fast-paced games they're coming out with now, but I digress.
omg nooooooo I only need 1 more trophy for my plat :(
Stupid party person...
That's last year's list. This year's list spans across 25 pages and has 2 paragraphs written on each game.
multiplats aren't allowed to be awesome games?
I agree with you on Demon's souls though.
Overall the game isn't really that hard, but a couple of spots really had me. The Flamelurker boss fight kicked my ass over and over again :(
It wasn't until I came back with a Purple Flame Shield +4 and a bunch of spices that I was able to finally beat him.
To me, Uncharted 2 is so much more than an average TPS. It seamlessly blends scripted events with gameplay, has near-perfect pacing, the gameplay isn't too fast (CoD) or too slow (KZ2), and the platforming really goes a long way to break up combat segments and keep everything fresh. The characters are all believable and it has that tense, edge-of-your-seat action that keeps you coming back for more no matter how many times you've played it.
Uncharted 2 is the only non Metal Gear, non Ratchet and Clank game that I have beat 5+ times and managed to not get tired of it. I'm not sure if you meant that you were tired of the game itself, or that you were tired of it showing up in top X lists, but hey, to each his own.
The first 5 games better be really fucking good if MGS4, Killzone 2 and GoW3 came in #10-6.
EDIT: @SnuggleBandit: Change MW2 for Fallout 3 and that's exactly what they're gonna put. Why wouldn't IGN include their GotY 2008 in this list? After all, I'm pretty sure CoD4 is already there.
She cant pronounce New Marais. She butchered it so bad that I laughed a little.
I can't believe someone agreed with Agent_Cody_Banks...
"Sam is like Raiden mixed with Snake."
Now that I think about it, this is true. He has Snake's attitude and smoking problem, and Raiden's cyborg ninja-ness. Oh yeah, and he's totally badass.
I liked it a lot nonetheless. Even though they're completely different genres, it shows that these are the guys who made Bayonetta. It's easy to tell from the sheer over the top-ness of the whole thing.
Sadly, it isn't. I'm pretty sure it doesn't even have a release date yet, so there's a chance it won't even come out in 2011. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
"Metal Gear?!"
"I'm not so sure"
"What the fuck?"
Freaking awesome.
I'm pretty sure they already did a top PS3 games list. MGS4 got #1.
they both died XD
I don't play CoD but that was awesome.
mmmmmmm... timbits
