Topic: Nintendo Life Playstation 3 Fan Thread

One of the best things this thread has done has gotten people to experience the joy of playing through Nier.

Take that reviews.

Yeah, Nier.

_{still need to beat that}

I have played a freaking ton of RDR and still only have 42% of the trophies... That said there is a good amount of multiplayer ones and I have only played it online like twice.

Nier is proof that most critics are idiots.

We needed proof?

Bullet-hell shooters and text adventures and resident evil, oh my!

[/div]

i still play this, you should get part 2, its coming out in like 2 months

No GTAIII for my PS3

Nier is so great. I didn't know the story would be so interesting (and tragic ;__;). Also the boss battles are great!

Still cannot stop playing it o__o

GTAIII for my PS2. That's how I get my GTA fix. My 360 for Resident Evil, Halo, etc., & my Wii for Wii-exclusives, most multiplayer games, etc. MY PS2 does old PS2 games. No PS3, but if I were rich, I'd get one.

It's a game that will be remembered as a genuine classic in the future that sold horribly and forced the closure of a really, really talented developer.

@VincentV: I have it on my PS2 as well, but a download version would be much more convenient for me to select from my menu than hooking up my PS2. It was supposed to be release on July 31st, but was not. They say it is because of a song licensing issue.

Why is Bulletstorm mediocre? Even at $20 it's just not worth it.

i loved bulletstorm, maybe it was flashy. the ai is horrible though, enough to make it a bad game

I may end up buying it whenever it gets released

Bulletstorm isn't medicore. Its pretty fun a d probably one of the only shooters not comprised of gray and brown. Problem most people have with is thats its paradoying dudebro and has a ton of cursing and off the mark references. Beyond that Rick Rememder did a great job with the writing and there are a lot of pretty funny scenes. There are a tons of F bombs and penis jokes in the game.

I only played the Bulletstorm demo, but even that bored me. Shame, too, it seemed like it could be a fun, flashy, fast-paced shooter, but for some reason I just really couldn't get into it. I blame Vanquish for giving me higher standards in the fun, flashy, fast-paced shooter category.

It's remotely funny and the graphics are "pretty good." The voice acting is littered with unnecessary cussing and penis jokes and the character animations are laughably choppy. Also the gameplay gets real old after about 1000 kicks. All I do is grab people and kick people since bullets not only take forever to kill but I get like.... 80% less experience doing it the old fashioned way. And did I mention I run out of ammo all the time? How convenient.

(200xp = kicking some dude into spikes.
10xp = shooting some dude to death with a full clip of ammo...)

Hehehe... and I bet you didn't know that you'll only get the whole story that's told through the game by playing through it four times! Oh, and even better, wait and see what it does when you beat it the first time and you prompt it to do what it ask you. It's tragic, it hurts, it'll make you cry, it'll make you curse, it'll make you want to throw your controller, it'll make you want to throw your controller through your HDTV, but you'll love the game even more for it... somehow!

For further esential Nier stuff, you should really give this a listen — after you finish the game at least once — as it's very interesting and done by some great guys in the industry. Oh, and there's also a tab on that page to the (fan) translated Grimoire Nier book that was only released in Japan, along with a second game (not on that page, sadly), that altogether piece together the entire crazy story that is Nier.

Betcha didn't know what you'd gotten yourself into — did ya Zez?

Nier is a ****** masterpiece! It's one of the most creative and unique games of this generation.

[Protip] Did you realize that when the camera pans to an overhead mode that the game becomes a dual-analogue shooter? It doesn't tell you that it does it, but the right analogue stick will shoot your ranged magic shots just like in a game of that genre. Just another crazy thing tossed into Nier, and of course, it lets you figure it out for yourself — or from crazed guys that troll internet forums — you know, either one of the two.

I really, really disliked Bulletstorm. It's gimmick gets old fast and the characters are overly annoying and, well, just... um... I'll be nice and just leave it at that. I can see where some will/would like it, but it's not for me. I enjoyed Gears of War very much so, but Bulletstorm is no Gears!

Bulletstorm is the ultimate example of a game designed for 10-year-olds who want to feel cool because they're listening to swear words. It's braindead gaming in the truest sense, and it's a hopeless game.

Serious Sam 3 pulls off the whole "let's take the piss out of the FPS genre," infinitely better. And classier.
