why were there a bunch of big bosses in peace walker

also it looked really laggy and that didn't sound like david hayter doing the voice!

edit: no it won't be on 360. At least it won't be at the same time that one comes out, because it's being released right after FF13. It's an mmorpg though so who cares.

Eh? Released right after? No way... this is Square-Enix. It will be delayed forever.

it was completely generic in terms of story and setting and all that jazz.  it's just, it plays better than your average rpg because the developers actually put a decent amount of effort into dungeon design and instead of WANDERING THROUGH CATACOMBS waiting for a random battle, your characters can all do shit in the overworld and actually getting gameplay outside of the battle system is kind of rare in a game like that.  i liked LUFIA games for the same reason despite the fact that lufia is dumb as hell

Lufia 2 was really the only one that got the whole dungeon design thing right, the rest were much more typical FIGHT BATTLES, LEVEL UP, FIGHT BOSS.

Lufia 2 also benefited from a pretty cool and somewhat unique ending, at least for the time. And there was a fairly big, one year timeskip about a quarter of the way through the game which doesn't happen often.

lufia 2 was pretty good. i beat it years ago on an SNES emulator. i'm playing lunar 2 occasionally atm and it has pretty good gameplay. the story is laughably bad as is the writing but some of the characters are sort of CHARMING and it's not overly serious or anything

They said 2010 release for XI-2. As soon as I saw the "Online" below I just laughed. It wont be PS3 exclusive as they wouldn't make nearly as much money without a PC version.

Assassin's Creed 2 looks cool, hopefully it has fixed the issues the first game has.

If you mean the repetition of the missions and all that, then I belive they have done that. I was reading about the game in a magazine and they said they have made far more missions, including eliminating witnesses to a 'Not so stealthy assassination' as they put it, not that stealthy assassinations were actually possible, and that combat has been far improved with more Enemy types (Swordsman, Spearman, etc) and ranks of enemies. Also i think I remember reading that they are doing away with the leveled structure and all missions are obtained while running round the three cities.

When watching the Assassins Creed 2 gameplay at Sonys E3 conference the battles were still the same just different weapons, one enemy attacks at a time, they attacked he countered, pretty dumb AI, etc. Looks improved though from the original still but not by much.

the website list windows and ps3(maybe they will do the world wide console release they originally wanted for XI with the pc version coming a little later?) as its platforms, though i suspect it may end up on the 360 sometime later down the line

Mario Galaxy 2 :\
Woulda preferred a 3D Super Mario World or 3D Super Mario Bros. 3 type game.

New Metroid game looks sick though... holy shit what a return to form. Prime 3: Corruption made me die a little inside.

Red Steel 2 looks great (coming from a fan of The Dark Tower series by Stephen King).

Modern Warfare 2 looks actually rather disappointing. Man the COD engine is beginning to show it's age.

Still got a lot of fucking videos to watch holy shit so many games!

This may forever be known as the e3 of "2's". I won't even begin to list them as there are a fucking lot.

Hopefully they'll do something for the AI before the final release. Also I like the new dual hidden blade they have there, although I hope I don;t have to disarm the enemies all the time and use the weapons, half of the fun I had in AC1 was using the hidden blade only in fights, so if I can do that in AC2 I will be glad, also they better let us use that gun he has, which is shown in the trailer.

I remember a lot of people saying this either last year or the year before or both.  this industry is just run on sequels pretty much

I was going to say GIVE FF14 BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT in regards to the whole Online thing, thinking it might actually be some sort of co-op Diablo-ish RPG, but then I watched the trailer and went to the site and yeah it's another straight up MMORPG.

also I only watched like 25 minutes of the Nintendo E3 conference but did anyone see that Kingdom Hearts trailer? God damn that looks like garbage. Like pure unadulterated human creative garbage. What a stupid series, what a stupid developer. Fuck Square Enix.....fuck em.

Why isn't that new super mario bros a sequel for the DS?

i wonder if ff13 is going to have a world map or if it's gonna be linear like ff10 or more open-ended like ff12 was. in any case this trailer was p.cool....... but im a fanboy LOL.

MY GOD SQUARE, seriously, stop it with the Yuffie/Selphie/Eiko/Rikku/Tarutaru(???)/Penello/ANNOYING GIRL WITH RED HAIR. Jesus fucking christ. Other than that, this looks like Final Fantasy 7+10+The Matrix:Reloaded+steroids+crystal meth.

MY GOD femcloud isn't enough there is also a female version of sephiroth.

I am pretty sure this game is Rule 63 applied to all previous final fantasy characters(except from barret because he is black, there are no black women in j-rpgs)

I'm actually looking forward to FF13. When I chose to go with the 360, I pretty much made my piece with never playing another FF. Having a new one come to my system is nice. FF was the franchise (with FF7) that prompted me to upgrade from Snes & Genesis to Playstation back in 97, and I had good (geeky) memories of talking about character builds, secrets, and stuff with friends back in my FF6 era...so no matter how yawn/groan/cringe inducing this game may turn out to be, I know I'll be buying it at some point. The mixed futuristic setting doesn't bother me at all.

Other then that, I'm really only interested in Mass Effect 2 and Dead Rising 2. The cinematic trailer for The Old Republic looked really good, and I like the idea of the game but I don't play MMOs and am not likely to have a computer that will be able to run it by the time it comes out. It is nice to watch the technology evolve though...in three (or however many it has been) years we've gotten to the point where a cinematic trailer for a game looks as good/better as stuff that saw theatrical release.

Where do I look for specific videos of E3 stuff without wading through a sea of junk?
