Some nice stuff has been released lately : P
I still plan on buying/trying Red Dead Redemption, even if I find they kinda lost Red Dead Revolver original spirit.
But it is a bit too much expensive for my humble current budget.
After all games do cost over 80 dollars in Switzerland.
New next gen games may even cost a bit more than that sometimes here! (up to 110 CHF!! while non Nintendo Wii games are often around a more acceptable 59 CHF)
Also that new Mario Galaxy 2 is out now?
I don't really plan on buying this one... However good it may be.
Not just that Mario's overrated nowadays (which he is in my eyes...) but I still have other Mario games to catch up, like Sunshine and the first Galaxy! I did playthrough most classic Mario games and finished them 100% a lot of times and I hope to catch up with Mario games someday. But they cost quite a lot, even Sunshine to this day, I can easily find second hand copies of it, but it's so damn' expensive!
Why can't they drop the prices of Mario games a little? All Mario games released on the DS, for example, cost as much as just-released games even after all this time!....
Anyway I'm not super motivated nor interested in this new Mario game. Looks like "you liked Mario Galaxy kids? Yeah? Here's Moar Mario Galaxy 2!!" And since I haven't tried the original one yet...
It's a very similar concept as the original japanese Super Mario Bros. 2, no? Which ended up as Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels. More levels on the same engine of the famous first game. Not a real sequel, not a new original concept, just more challenges at a brand new game's price...
Watching for the current prices of new copies and second one copies of Splinter Cell Conviction, I found out that Alpha Protocol was finally released! Great news!
The game looks and sounds pretty kickass!
I've already seen some not-quite honest reviews giving this game average reviews and scores...
Well, lemme be honest with you guys. Had it been made by Bioware instead of Obsidian and released by EA instead of Sega, I'm sure this one would have a lot more positive reaction and fair reviews, even if the game was exactly similar as how this one came out!!
Such fanboys... honestly...
Mass Effect 1 or Dragon Age had the same kind of "problems", little bugs&glitch and textures popping late.
But, sadly... People are too much Bioware/Mass Effect fanboys or too much Sega/Obsidian haters now! The game isn't that bad, in fact it's pretty original how the decisions affect the plot a lot more than in ME.
Anyway, I'll give it a try sometime later...
See ya around~
Mario is overrated!
ReplyDeleteJust check any Mario preview/review on such sites as Gamespot or Gametrailers!
They don't even need to play or try the game, they love it instantaneously just because it is a new Mario game! Always!
Not that I'm criticizing it without playing, but just listen to gametrailers new review! I'm not even sure the guy even really played it. Maybe he doesn't like playing it, but because he had to do the review and because it is Mario he's like in love with the concept of the game and not the fact of really playing it!
It's like how the press and medias always fall in love with huge blockbusters and commercial successes! Like, say, Avatar.
'nuff said!
