The NZA Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 shit, more Alan Wake DLC? ill wait on a review, still wanna get that game and play through again on hard. will play RB3 by Jax (he says he's getting the keyboard, guitar cant be far off), debating DJ Hero 2 only cause if i wait, itll get cheap again (prolly get it on PS3 just to have the option of online), i imagine ill likewise wait on Def Jam Rapstar if it drops. Dead Rising 2 is a rental (unless im really surprised by it), Fallout New Vegas, im hoping to break in a new PC rig with but i know if i can hold off, it'll be $25-30 on steam holiday sales, that's hard to pass on. November is Epic Mickey and the next Assassin's Creed, right? wonder if LBP2 gets bumped back or not, too. anyway, on topic: swear im downloading the demo this week.

Maldron Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 It's kinda on topic. Enslaved is the hot chick that walks by that you turn around to take another look at, but you don't know if you can be bothered to go try and tap that given the obligations you've already got piling up. Hot, though. It's already making the mistake of coming out the same day as the new 3D Castlevania. The game will not do well this season, most likely.

Drifter Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Since no one has pointed this out, I would just like to make sure we're all on the same page, y'all know that this game is based off of the book "Journey to the West?" The death crown, telescoping staff, the pig guy, and the flying nimbus are all from that legend. These are all the same characters from Dragon Ball, Saiyuki, and the many other interpretations. I'm not the only one to get this, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maldron Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 My original opening post mentioned it, but I decided that listing all the things that the story has led to would be an unnecessary springing point that could cause us all to talk about Journey to the West, or DB, or Saiyuki, or what have you. We've had off-topic posts galore anyway, though. I figured the fact that the main characters were Trip and Monkey would be enough for most who were aware of Journey to the West to get that it was the inspiration. They've said they used the dynamics from Journey to the West as their inspiration, but they didn't want the story to be a 1:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 The reason I brought that up is because the bitching about the items and motivations, specifically the death crown. I just wanted to say that if it's in the original manuscript, lump it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'm not really fussed if this is based on Fred Durst playing errand boy to a wiley bitch, all I know is that's what I'm interested in playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 They could easily have shoehorned in the "WHY DID YOU DO THIS" rage, but he's beyond that, and because of it he comes across as intelligent. one man's "intelligent" is another man's "complete bitch", then. don't get me wrong, he sounds like a juiced-up jersey shore leftover, and i totally get why she didn't wanna open doors to let him in...but they just narrowly escaped death from a slave ship, and that's what she does to him? props to ninja theory for again making a game whose controls aren't ideal, but at least the platforming bits are point-and-click, while the characters so far are both as equally unlikable and therefore a bit compelling, but yeah, going into this, i'm with JZA: i know she's not gonna die at his hand, but seeing her perish would be a highlight nonetheless.

Maldron Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 "he comes across as intelligent." Though you seem to have read "she." One man's literate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Amazon deal of the day has this one for $25 (both systems, till it potentially sells out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks for the heads up Nick! Was able to grab this yesterday. My brother had wanted it, and was upset both he and I slept on the TRU B2G1 sale! This was even cheaper than had we grabbed it at TRU!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
