Stylishly it doesn't do it for me. While I understand over-the-top elements in games, the actual element may or may not attract. The large guns and heavily armored, square jawed soldiers in Gears of War turn me off similarly.

Wasn't being specific, I have no idea what you guys like or don't like. But some of us do like games some others don't. Should have phrased it better, sue me.

I don't find it appalling that you don't think GoW 3 is AMAZING, but I find it pretty appalling that you think it is bad because of its engine and presentation.
Never said it was bad. But the engine and presentation do turn me off, yes. But why is that an issue? I judge all games on a number of factors, its game engine and presentation being a couple of them. If they want my attention they have to adhere to my tastes. (And no, my tastes aren't end-all be-all)

Quote:
I'm guessing your "that's precious" comment was implying that you think Bayonetta is the better game. But based on your complaints about GoW3, how on earth could you possibly like the tech behind Bayonetta more?
I do believe Bayonetta is better, and while the mechanics are similar (inherently so, being that these are action games), they aren't the same. And there's things about Bayonetta's engine I believe are superior to GoW3's. Bayonetta's general style is closer to my personal tastes as well (though I find Devil May Cry to have the perfect blend of theme, style, and game).

Yeah, I find DMC to be a pretty craptastically overrated series, so I suppose we just want different things out of this genre.

Konami's entering the genre with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, it looks to meld the elements we value. Should be interesting.

omg, hadn't heard of this. Just watched this extended trailer:
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gc...54474?type=flv

At first, was like "Ok.. looks kinda boring.." at first, and then it snapped into the gameplay, and holy crap. I want it.

Kalyx should do a YouTube video with his thoughts of GoW.

Yeah, God of War 3 sold so poorly and was hated by critics. Oh, and Dragon Age. Absolutely reviled. Hell, of all the games you've panned, the Dynasty Warriors series is the only one I can name that wasn't critically popular, and even those are commercially successful (Unless, of course, you believe you can get thirty seven iterations of the same game while being a commercial failure....).

I know you live in your own little world, but if you think my taste in music is a caricature of the pro-indie anti-mainstream, you either don't pay much attention or have no idea what "indie" and "mainstream" are. While I'm sure you can reconcile listening to multi-platinum artists with being an "indie" fan, that's only because you're "special."

I like the God of War series. Its pure fun, and im a sucker for anything Greek Mythology related. That being said, i feel DMC and Bayonetta arent that great for the same reason Kalyx says GoW isnt enjoyable to him...i feel they try to be too over the top with, well...everything.

It'd be funny if I was, given Tribe did exactly what you wish you could do...break into the gaming business and create something of a phenomenon. Interesting choice of bands to knock.

But no, I am a musical genius that will take over the music industry with my musical genius. I'll show you!

I'm mixed on DMC. I loved the idea of something of an atmospheric action title with somewhat pulpish sensibilities. Sure, it's Japanese, right down to the arcade style rating system, but it had a lot in common with pulp and noir style fiction, down to the main character owning a "detective" agency (auspietards, it's in quotes for a reason).

on the other hand, when I saw the intro on Unskippable, I laughed at how godawful it was. And that's not counting the comments from Graham and Paul. Of course, the fact that there's a Bishounen hero, big swords, etc., means that a lot of people enjoyed it for other reasons. Still, I can enjoy it, much like God of War, where I can play the game and like it, sans a massive hardon, "GOTY" spewing ot of my mouth every five seconds, and squealing like a little girl at the main character of my "preference."

If you know what I mean.

I liked God of War because whenever something is done based on greek mythology, it's always a PG or PG-13 affair. Nothing that came out ever recognized the brutality and graphic nature of many of the stories.

God of War was the first to do that, to my knowledge.

Whereas DMC just feels like a pile of action movie/anime cliches. Still a fun game however.

If you mean in games, it probably was.

In other media, not really close.

As for DMC, aren't you one of the staunchest defenders of TeeandAtta on this board?
