Actually, I had a warriors fan for a friend once and I played his copy, along with Dynasty Warriors 6. Disliked them both, but Warriors of Troy was much worse. Terrible story, and the gameplay was much slower and more boring, with more of a focus on cinematic kills, which got old pretty quickly. Like a dumbed down God of War - and I didn't think it was possible to dumb that game down anymore.
Well, the story was just Troy. So if it's a bad story, then that's hardly the game's fault. That's the material it's taken from. Most people tend to find that particular epic pretty compelling, btw.
Not that you have to enjoy it, but it might be good to qualify where you're coming from when you say it's a "bad game." I'll agree with you that the gameplay is slower, but one person's "slow" is another person's "high impact." I liked that there was weight behind the combat. It felt chunkier and more brutal than the graceful swordplay of most Warriors games.
Also, I cannot express enough how tiring your hypocritical criticisms of western reviewers are. Once you get off your high horse, maybe people will actually take you seriously.
Find me a single example of a western game I have criticised on the basis of it being a western game, and I will agree with you that I'm a hypocrite.
I don't. I take western games as they come, for both their good and their bad. Once western critics learn that there's no point criticising a Moe game for the simple fact that it's a Moe game, then I'll stop criticisng them.
If there was a formal education for criticism, the first lesson in the first class would be that a critic shouldn't criticise a game on the basis that it doesn't appeal to their personal sense of fun. It's that elementary, and yet that is what I see over and over again when western critics look at Japanese games.

Sorry, meant terribly presented story. It's good at its base, they just ham it up, IIRC.

That's part and parcel for the Warriors series. I can't think of a single game in the series which has good voice acting in English.
Criticism doesn't work that way.
When I lecture on criticism to students that's exactly what I lecture. Criticism that is simply a long personal rant is useless criticism. While a critic can never be objective, and shouldn't even try to be, said critic should also never forget that not everything in the world is made for them to enjoy.
That's where our opinions differ. I did that with pleasure and I've never felt that what i was doing was boring. About the story, well...for a crossover game, what were you expecting, really? I don't know how hyped you were when you played the game for the first time, but i think you are being too radical with that statement. You probably have the same problem that some journalists have...lack of time and patience, to discover what a game like this one has to offer. I had fun with it!
If you haven't played a Warriors title in the current gen era, I implore you to do so! I enjoyed the series in the past generation, just as I enjoyed titles like Chaos Legion, but I tired of the series back then. In this current generation, Omega Force has taken complete use of the systems' power and have gotten the strategy element of the game's down better than ever. I don't like the Warriors series now, I love the Warriors series.
I'm also loving Sniper Elite V2. The game can truly turn the intensity way up. I had this fifteen minute fight for my life where I was laying traps for enemies rushing up three flights of stairs to my sniping point, while sniping enemies as quickly and efficiently as I could from the far back of the room, through a window — allowing me to knock off a few as they run up the spiraling staircase. Really immersive title, and the sniping just feels great!
Oh, Trine 2 is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Hey, my LittleBigPlanet 2 won't patch... It gets stuck at 61%-69% and says something about an error. Help?
Error code number please? 8013030 ? You could try going to your PS3 Game Data Utility and then delete all the LBP2 data. Your game saves are in another section so you won't lose them. But if you are somewhat insecure about doing that, send an email to Sony, they usually respond quickly.
Some people are saying Max Payne 3 is the best game so far this year while others are saying it's just plain mediocre.
I think I'm going to wait for a price drop.
considering how every game released on 360/PS3 so far this year that I've had the slightest interest in has been an apparent dissappointment for one reason or another (I really hoped NeverDead would have been amazing), both of those opinions seem completely valid and possible (it's the best game among a sea of dissappointment or it's just like all those other games).
At least it's been an easy year on my wallet. Tales of Graces f is the only new game I've bought so far (though I'm still on track to pick up Armored Core V). Now I just got one game on the Wii, PSP, and 3DS each to pick up this year, and I'm golden. Might even have enough for Persona 4: Arena and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment in the fall.
So got 400 free Microsoft points today and wanted to know what you guys though of the walking dead? Pretty familer with both the show and the comic so that's no barrier to entry.
WAT!
