Haven't been on Dtoid in a couple days, so here are some game impressions
pedrovay2003 \| 9:24 AM on 10.20.2009	4 comments

So yeah - I've been in Florida for the past couple days. My grandmother passed away on Sunday, and we flew out immediately from Utah (damn planes...). I'm sitting in a hotel room right now while stuff is getting prepared, So I thought I'd give you some impressions of games I've been playing. Sorry for the lack of pictures - I'm on my not-touch screen phone right now.

Demon's Souls

If you read my previous post about this game, you'd know that I was having a tough time liking it. It's glitchy, the camera's bad, and the targeting system God-awful. Well, none of those things have changed, but the game itself is still amazing. Never in my life have I been so addicted to a game, because it truly takes all the gameplay mechanics of the 8- and 16-bit games and puts a 3D spin on them. You'll need to dig into your decade-old gaming prowess to play this game, and not even that will be enough to keep from getting slaughtered. I love it.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Oh. My. GOD. I never thought I'd say this, but if I had not already owned a PS3, I would have bought one just for this game.

The single-player mode is the most cinematic game I've seen outside of Metal Gear Solid 4, which is saying a lot. It's much more balanced than the first game, with much more climbing and puzzle-solving. The multiplayer is fantastic - It has perks, but not unbalanced or unfair like other online games I've played. It's still 90% skill, and the perks just give you a little oomph. It's like my favorit online game of this generation (Gears of War) but with the climbing system of Assassin's Creed. On the whole, this may actually be the best game I've ever played. It's that good.

Anyway, that's what I've been up to. Time to get back to reality... Wish me luck. What have you guys been playing?

The PS3, it finally has its gaemz. I find it weird that everyone was complaining about the PS3 not being like the PS2, when it took the PS2 years to get any really big name titles. The PS2 probably took just as long to pick up as the PS3 did. Don't ask me why. Probably because Sony doesn't have the big name games arranged out the door.

Still playing the MAG beta every chance I get... but also will be picking up Borderlands today and giving that one a go! :)

Man, I really should play both of those games.

Uncharted 2 the best game ever?

Jeepers.

@Jonathan

Heh, well, it IS just an opinion, but I've got to say - I've been playing games for 22 years, and no game I've ever played has as much stuff as Uncharted 2 does. Probably not my favorite game, but I do recognize it as probably being the best overall. It's like 3 games in one, each just as fleshed-out as the last.

about me

Name: Peter
Home State: New York
Currently Residing In: Utah
Birthday: October 13th, 1985 (I'll always secretly consider the NES to have been a birthday present to me from Nintendo.)

As far as video games go, I've been a gamer since I was two-and-a-half. I try to play whatever interests me, despite what other people think of those games. I don't consider myself to be a "casual" gamer, but I also don't take games unbelievably seriously. They're games, after all. They're meant to be enjoyed, not obsessed over. I never base whether I buy a game or not on a single review -- I have to try the game for myself to be totally sure.

CURRENT FAVORITES:

Metal Gear Solid Series (PS1, PS2, & PS3)

Also, I'm on a crusade to help my paralyzed friend walk again. Check this out to learn how you can help, and here's the Facebook group. I'd like to send a big thank you to all of you who have already donated --- It means a lot to both of us. Unfortunately, this probably won't be a short-term thing --- It may be over a year before Travis can make it to China for the surgery. If any medical conditions should arise before that time (knock on wood that nothing happens), the donated money will be used to help pay for any bills if needed. Again, thank you all.
