Heavenly Sword discussion (including reviews)

Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

Yeah, it's pretty much been called Goddess of War by everyone who only looked at a screenshot.
 
Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

Fhq, why does shortness even matter? If a game is great, its great, whether 10 hours, or 40, and being that God of War sold almost 2 million copies, and came in at 8 hours, I don't think shortness will be much of a stumbling block for Heavenly Sword.
 
Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

I know, but for people on a budget, me, or just in general, worth equals time. Especially if I won't feel the need to play it through again.

I agree. It only matters if you don't have money to buy the game on release. Otherwise, there's really no excuses besides the fact that you just don't like the game.
 
Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

Or because I don't want to 'waste' money in my mind on a short game I'll only play once?
 
Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

well if this game is short i will rent it because, it's great and all that but you know waste money in something that im gonna finish in a few hours is not something smart.

but well anyway is an awesome game, and if it has many different secret things like god of war i will buy this game

"in my mind" are the key words. For me, I've played God of War multiple times, so I'm happy I bought it.
 
Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

yeah, its a good buy, worth every penny

@fhq, get over yourself. the reviewers are saying the game is great. so if its a bit short for your tastes, then play it again. i mean, if its great, wouldnt you anyway?
 
Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

Okay, few things. What exactly are you talking about? Get over myself? So you're pretty much saying I should stop using my own opinion? I'm not focusing on this game alone. I don't want to spend $60 on something I'll get 15 hours out of. God of War was great, I don't want to play it again. Just because I don't go through something twice or more doesn't make it bad. I could really care less what a reviewer thinks, considering I don't agree with the same things they do. I don't care if you don't agree with me, it sure isn't my problem. I can say what I want about this game, and I will. A good buy to me would be my $35 Pearl that I have gotten 180 hours of. Not so much would be if I had gotten GoW II at the full $50.

Oh, and Strubes, yes, it is 'in my mind'. You think it is, I think it isn't. You have a job, I don't. We're too different to ever agree on any of this crap.
 
Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

well your complaining about length, which 'in my mind,' is absurd

if a game is great, but short, i have no problem playing it again

even if a game is long, and its great, ill play it again

you have to stop complaining and enjoy your games more. im sure developers that put out short games are aware that they are short, so they add a lot of extras and unlockables in them.
 
Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

I'm not complaining, I'm saying I don't want to buy a full priced short game. That makes sense.
 
Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

Yeah, fhq, I don't mind. Honestly, once you get a job, your outlook on games is going to be so blown out of the water.
 
Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

Once I get a good job. Right now, I have to scrounge up last second cash for Prime 3. Then I have to wait until my birthday in November for some cash from relatives so I can get Smash Bros a few weeks later, and depending on how much I have, Zelda. Then in Christmas, I ask for some DS games or giftcards so I can get games. That is my usual year. Oh, and I have to find a way to sell my Gamecube for more than it's worth so I can get some more money for anything interesting that shows up.
 
Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

Controller, game, system. $100. Parents won't see it as a total ripoff, they'll see it as 'cheaper than the stuff in the store', so they'll get it for their child who doesn't know any better. Win/win. Except in their wallet's case.

are you agreeing with me?

Yes, to a point. I'm not exactly disagreeing with either of you. When I was younger and I saved up money for a while, bought a game, and beat it in 10 hours, I wasn't at all disapointed. Although, I did put games like that away for a while until I got the urge to play it again. I did that with the original God of War. But now, being older, and having money at my disposal, I cherish short games. They're pretty much trophies to me.
 
Re: First 10 for Heavenly Sword

Uh, CraigsList. It's eBay, 'cept it's free to put stuff on it. And it's local people.
