I played it recently and I was surprised at how similar it was to Bioshock 1 in the basic mechanics - not including the sky-hook stuff of course (which I didn't use for combat at all). I was surprised also by how the world is not all that interactive. In a way it's a blessing because then I didn't have to click on every damn thing to look for stuff.
Kick Ass 1 did a great job contrasting the fictional comic book world with the real one. If you go out to stop crime in a superhero suit, you're going to get F'ed up. Kick Ass 2 didn't do this as well. It seemed confused as to whether to be silly or serious. I couldn't quite get on board with it. Man, did I want to like it though. There are still some good moments. Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Red Mist/Motherfucker) was great throughout.
Saints Row IV is definitely silly and the more I hear about it the more I want to play it. People keep suggesting it's like Crackdown. Music to my ears.
This makes me think of this strange petition in Japan to make marriage to a 2D character legal. Article here: http://xorsyst.com/japan/petition-to-marry-2d-characters/
I would play RAW because I love strategy RPGs. One day I'll pick this up. Probably not this crazy collector's edition with the BoobPad though.
Wow! Ya know, the guide I read suggested strongly that I read the manual because Taito makes great manuals, but I don't have one. I should look it up online so I know how to control all that stuff like "flaps" and "speed brakes".
It's not getting such great reviews (60s on Metacritic), but it still might be fun. The trailers I keep seeing at GameStop are really cool.
AC in Revolutionary America really got me interested, but sea battles and now Pirates has me foaming at the mouth. I WANT THIS GAME!
I tend to quit out of tactical games early too. I got FEA on day-one but still haven't got to it yet.
I loved the first one. Second one. Not so much.
As you would expect, the pace of combat is a lot slower than an arcade style game.
Aw nice! I want that thing. That's a good price too.
