I just beat DR and didn't see any horrible flaws with the save system. I think people like to bitch about it becuase it's impossible to do everything in the game in a playthrough. That being said, I hope DR2 is somewhat more traditional.
I'm going to start MGS4 again today. Question, do I start over, or just play from where I'm at (The FROGS just broke in after a meeting with meryll.)? It's been since like august since I've played.
[quote name='SL4IN']More than one save file would be nice. While I do have a few small complaints about the game, IMO I really enjoyed the game I think it's a really solid game for the 360. I think people condemn the game so much because they let themselves get overly hyped on the subject matter of the game, and then badger the game's flaws to the point that they convince themselves that they don't like and it's a "terrible" game because it wasn't exactly like they wished/hoped it would be.[/quote]
I'm not saying the game is terrible. I'm just saying the flaws took alot of the fun out of the game for me.
Finally got around to playing Banjo & Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts.. I know that Rare apparently dropped hints at new Killer Instinct and Battletoads games in there via tht computer that mentions they're in the "pipeline", but did anyone else notice that the Battletoads pause menu music plays during some loading screens?
Resident Evil 5 FAQ posted on Joystiq.. check one of the questions:
What else aren't you telling us?
Capcom has a huge list of things we're not allowed to talk about in this preview. Did you know that **** ********* is actually *****? Yeah, pretty surprising.

Next gen KI and Battletoads......... oh man.
I just finished DQIV. It took me about 30 hours, give or take. It was a great game, but maybe a bit over hyped imho. Not to say that I didn't enjoy playing the game. I mean, I was never once bored with it. I'm going to start Chrono Trigger tonight. I'm very excited.

Cool tidbit, I didn't know that.[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure this was a prank and not a serious "we're developing these things" nod. I remember seeing shit about it on joystiq and kotaku when N&B first dropped.
MGS4 is annoying. I went ahead and started from where I was (Meryll and the FROGS). That part was actually kind of hard and completely un fun. Now I'm out on the field trying to be stealthy which is nearly impossible. Of course, there is no consequence to running and gunning since the normal enemies are complete and total ING MORONS.

Rare really sucks about that. They know they have franchises that fans want to see but instead of dropping legit refrences to actually working on said franchises , they just tease fans by saying "we know you want this but you can't have it". Just like the years of avoiding the truth about the Stop N Swap thing. It was kinda funny at first , but just got really annoying when instead of giving answers they just give fans insulting jokes instead.

This 100%. My backlog has grown the most since I started my job 7 years ago. A deadly combination of money to buy more games and no/less time to play them.
[quote name='whoknows']Shoulda signed out FEAR 2. [/QUOTE]
I can't sign out a game that isn't out yet (it shipped today), and I already have that reserved so I'm buying it.
Does anyone else feel like the cutscenes in the MGS games are rewards for for the gameplay? It seems like every time I put up with some bullshit segment of the game it gives me a kickass action cutscene or one that moves the story forward a lot.
I liked the MGS series for stealth gameplay, so acts 1 and 2 were some of my favorite segments of the series and the rest was like a different game series altogether.
