warcrow's E3 2009 thread - Tell me what games I should see and play.

(http://www.gametrailers.com/video/japanese-headless-fragile/44919) Here's a nice little gameplay video. Seems about like your standard survival horror style games, albeit with a good bit more open ended exploration than what you usually get with the RE/Silent Hill types. Looks cool enough to me.

Also, after playing RE4 and MP3, I can throw some wiimote action around like I was born to it. If you've got a good setup, it isn't that hard a thing to get accustomed to.

The style and atmosphere is very much a Japanese take on STALKER, which, you know, you can't go wrong with.

You underestimate japs.

That one ended all interest in the game for me when I first saw it too, koki.

So, what happened to our "on the spot" reporter? I kept waiting for a twitter link.

I survived and have some really good news (and bad) about a lot of games! :) I tried to get my hands on as many games as possible guys. Here is the easy list of the games I played or had a hands-off demo shown to me:

* Assassin's Creed 2
* Uncharted 2
* God of War 3
* Brutal Legends
* Dragon Age: Origins
* Mass Effect 2
* Heavy Rain
* Pixeljunk Shooter
* Split/Second
* Blur
* Prototype
* Darksiders
* Red Faction: Guerilla
* Overlord II
* Ghostbusters
* Brink
* Fallout DLC: Point Lookout
* The Conduit
* Aliens vs Predator
* Batman: Arkham Asylum

I know I'm most likely leaving some games out but this is what I remember off the top of my head. I'm writing something up right now with impressions of each game. Will let everyone know when it goes up, and I'll just post some of it here.

Also, I went to the Mass Effect 2 hands-off demo twice because it was amazing--game of the show for me.

Bah. You people would bitch about the hubcaps on a Rolls Royce.

You gotta expect some cheesiness from all Japanese products. They like to throw non sequiturs and weirdness into everything they do. Like you have some super violent action game, where the main character, a hulking soul-dead demon or somesuch, randomly screams "I don't understand what LOVE IS" everytime he slashes through some some poor guy's neck. It's the foil for every cool thing they do. I guess I just got used to it.

No, I just don't like that type of stuff. I am actually a huge fan of games, and give them a lot of slack.

That was aimed more towards Koki, but you made a convenient target of yourself, so I had to throw you in the mix. :p

Personally I'd use the word "faggotry" and I do believe that is exactly the problem - everything from Japan bears that... taint which makes it impossible to enjoy it unless you can downgrade your brain to that of 10-year-old at will.

Koki you're Polish, you don't get to pick on other cultures.
