English, do you Speak it??: Way of the Samurai 3 English Site and Some Fall Line-up Tubaticism
Tubatic \| 11:57 AM on 09.23.2009	11 comments

This is the website for Way of the Samurai 3, what drops Oct 13 for PS3 and 360 . Its chock full of trailers, character information, and THE WHOLE MANUAL in pdf format! SQUEEEEEE! Oddly enough, they play up an idea of good vs evil, though traditionally, its not even about that on such certain terms. Meh. Sometimes you've got to pander, I guess.

We're only three weeks away from, personally, the most anticipated game of the last two years. Its lunchtime here, and I don't want to get off on too much of a muse but I've been thinking about the games that I chose to be my landmark titles for this holiday season.

In an effort to be mad frugal, I'm limiting my MUST-HAVE list to Muramasa (check), Scribblenauts (Check) and the nearly upon us Way of the Samurai 3 (Aw YEAH!). What I've notice din my personal selections is that I'm pretty hot for some pretty janky, potentially busted, great but flawed games. Sure fire, polished-by-resources-and-pedigree games like ODST, Brutal Legends, Uncharted and Left 4 Dead 2 are very solidly on my "maybe" list.

I mean, I'm a gamer, yeah? I've been doing this games thing for a long time, and I KNOW that those Triple-A titles are going to deliver this prestine, gaming experience that should be very hard to complain about at that basic skeleton of a game level. Maybe I like busted games as an unconsious rule? Or maybe, I love rooting for the little guy so much that control and presentation deficiency isn't a blocker for me.

Well, whatever. All I know is that arcade hand-drawn samurai action is fun, summoning an engineer to flip switches is brilliant, and forging my own blade from the pieces of other blades is something I'm REALLY looking forward to!

Similarly, I tend to buy underdog games with what little money I have. I think part of the reason I do it is that I know I'll enjoy the experience, and that I know getting my hands on that experience in the future would be difficult, in some cases.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzan is blatantly better than WoTS3!
Sorry...
Truth be told, I wasn't interested in WoTS3 until you hyped it up. Now I'm pretty excited, but it's a shame Uncharted 2 comes out on the same day, because that's one of my most anticipated games.

Josh Tolentino

WotS 3, and THIS!

TheCleaningGuy

Good point Unangbangkay! I'm actually pretty psyched for a US Sakura Taisen after your earlier blogs, shame it was delayed.

walkyourpath

Borderlands and Demon's Souls are the two potentially "great but flawed" titles I'm planning on investing in this fall. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on WoTS3 when you finally get your zealous hands on it!

Demon's Souls is all I need. That and Uncharted 2.

Way of the Samurai looks mildly interesting. I might pick it up on a whim but it's definitely not on my must get list

Josh Tolentino

Demon's Souls, great but flawed?!

PSHAWWWWW. If you hate it, the flawed one is YOUUUUU :P

@TheCleaningGuy

I'm working on furthering that right now. Ideally it won't get drowned in TGS ruminations.

Palidi

MUST...FIND...MONEY...FOR THIS...GAAAAAMMMEEEE!!!!

Espscially since I've found out that the first shipments of WotS3 will come with a bonus guide DVD.

All I need is Raiden IV and I'm good.

You and I are cut from the same cloth, Tubatic.

Cadtalfryn

I don't think I've seen anyone so hyped up for a game as you are for WotS3. It's kind of awesome. I tend to wait and block it out as much as possible or I would probably destroy myself in anticipation.

Too late. OMG FRAGILE IS COMING TO AMERICA! NO MORE HEROES 2? OH MA GAWHD

I've beaten all the properly numbered original Mega Man games.

Mrs. Tubatic is a Sims player, and played a mean game of Harvest Moon back in the day.

Way of The Samurai, Shadow of the Colossus, Castle Crashers, Jet Grind Radio, ICO, Super DodgeBall, Final Fantasy VI and X-Com are some of the finest games ever made in ever

Players can elect to summon "cartoony" versions of bats, bombs, guns, and flamethrowers. These types of items can be used to destroy objects or even other summoned items (e.g., a club can be used to hit an animal; steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions; rockets can be lobbed at a man).

"Right after getting back to Japan, [Miyamoto] suddenly said: "You know we're including golf now." Apparently he'd stated in an interview that this time round golf shots would be determined by the backswing, even though at that time a golf game didn't exist in any shape or form!"

"Just because u like a game doesn't mean u have to give it a high score"
-excerpt from the epic trolling on the Prototype review, inFamous/Protoype Wars, June 2009

Well [InsertBloggerNameHere], I'm personally indifferent about you, which is ok.

But, the posting regulars at the site will generally get a little twisty about such frequent, light on content posts. Since everything you post in a C-Blog (Community, Blog) hits the front page immediately, people like to see things there of substance (Longer reviews, different from normal opinions, pretty pictures). Otherwise, the effect is that your light-on-content post pushes down posts of people that put lots and lots of effort into a high quality blog post.

Atheistium, ThisYearsPink, Yoj1mb0, Thefil (sort of), and the early works of Conrad Zimmerman are examples of posters that clearly put a good amount of effort into their posts, and contribute interesting stuff to the site through the C-Blogs.

Soooo, its not because you're ten, specifically.
