Top 5 Console Games

[frimmel]

Ohh and I’m well aware of the point of trophies. I have five plats (highest/full completion PS3.) For the most part I typically think they are fun and good encouragement to see all the game has to offer. Some are just grinds that don’t hold much interest.

My trouble with this one is rewards for pursuing the trophies seem uneven or like you’re not really progressing. Sort of ‘Lucy with the football’ deals.

Okay, not as cheap as I was expecting but still underwhelming (and pretty much not a surprise) and more or less in line with the slightly confused nature of the game. i.e. “Is Marston trying to walk a path to redemption or not?”

Lassoing wild horses works much better with ‘casual’ targeting.  :-)

I was going to say I thought the ending would be very rewarding due to your frustrations.

Honestly, I feel it had the strongest ending for a game that I can rcently remember.

Red Dead Spoiler Alert

I’m going to talk about the ending of Red Dead so consider yourself warned.

The thing is the whole game you’re playing a character who has put his outlaw ways behind him. Now for the most part in the story missions Marston in fact has. However… and here is my trouble with the game a lot of the side missions or tertiary stuff is Marston’s outlaw ways. You’re encouraged to act as an outlaw.

By analogy Marston is an alcoholic and you’re expected to give him a bottle of whiskey and that rather bothered me. You’re an outlaw or you’re not and the game acts as though you can be both and that took something away from the narrative for me. Is this or is this not a story of redemption?

I saw the end coming at least as early as during the trip to the wrecked riverboat. So given the ending and the kicker side mission (that I almost missed and is the real end of the story) the question of is Marston redeemed seems unanswered. Jack’s actions suggest that Marston was in fact not redeemed and I didn’t much like that. Or perhaps that choosing the outlaw life of the quick and the dead is an act of redemption.

Just seemed that the authors didn’t in fact have anything to say. At least not anything new.

Theres so many great games, I’m going to choose genres and examples (for PS3.)

1. Tekken 6 (Love it, love all the tekken games can’t wait for Tekken X Street Fighter)
2. Call of Duty: Black Ops (It’s a fun game, and all my friends play it so it’s something we can all do.)
3. Yakuza 3 (It’s awesome just basic street fighting and other stuff.)
4. Prince of Persia: Sands of Times (Very fun killing things with my sword, nuff said.)
5. Endwar (Like the strategic, but not holy s**t impossible.)

Also I would like to mention Civilization Revolution, it’s a good game, but compared to the computer version, it kind of sucks.
