Lol. With Destiny, the unfounded whining and complaining started 2 hours after launch. With this game, I see people are just getting onboard the hate-train early!
@Munkyknuts Sure, I agree that Destiny has a pretty weak story--But I guess I don't really care since I have fun playing it. I guess it really depends on whether you're having enough fun with the gameplay or not.
@ToOGoodOfAPlaya Yeah I honestly don't get the whole deal about the Queen's Gear either, and I'm fine with them reworking engrams. On the other hand, I think them getting rid of the loot cave is fine. You certainly could say, "Just let people do what they want," but I can see how Bungie wasn't happy with people shooting into a cave for hours.
@Munkyknuts I mean... The reason anyone plays an MMO is to reach the level cap, "for the sake of doing it." If you're not having fun, I can see why you'd quit but no video game has ever given an incentive to beat it other than the satisfaction of beating it.
The hilarious thing is that people are saying that they have to exploit to get good gear, but that's absolute BS. If you earn Marks, you can buy all sorts of legendary gear from vendors. For exotic gear, Xur sells it on weekends for strange coins. The loot drops in this game are bonuses, and it's cool when you get something good, but the primary way to get good stuff is earning Marks and strange coins.
@BornOfEvil I will hold to the opinion that all media should be experienced in the original language whenever possible. You're ensuring a much higher quality experience that way.
@Shellybird27 As @MadchesterManc said, I vastly prefer the original Japanese audio. I find English dubs to not only be "jarring" but just plain awful. In fact, I've never heard a good one. I don't know where they get these guys, but dubs are always forced and emotionless. I played the demo, and this game is just the same. The fact that they have the JP voicework just done and sitting there, but won't let us have it is actually pretty infuriating.
Great review--I have this game sitting on my PS3 with like an hour of play invested in it. I really loved what I played so I'm not sure how I fell out of it. May be time to return!
Excellent review. I had kind of written this title off after having a personal "meh" reaction to the original Trine, but this kind of makes me wonder if the series is worth revisiting.
When people think of an excellent brawler they think Smash Bros. This game, instead of doing something new and noteworthy, is just trying to be Smash Bros. on PS3 and it doesn't even come close to achieving that goal.
Wow. Was really, really looking forward to buying a copy on my Mac and playing with all my PSN friends. Guess I'll be downloading the PS3 version after all. :/

Re: Push Scare: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis Is an Underrated Survival Horror Smash
All three original RE games got Gamecube re-makes later on. I actually own the first. I'd like to play all three of those, someday!

Re: Feature: What's New in PS4 Firmware Update 2.00?
Okay yeah great, but do we get folders? I swear, I love my PS4 but the GUI is literally the worse I've ever seen on any console.

Re: Review: Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars (PlayStation Vita)
The lack of Japanese voices almost made me not buy this one, but I ended up leaving my preorder be. I think I'll still enjoy it.
Re: Review: Vessel (PlayStation Network)
Great review! Love how Push Square brings games to light that many others don't even cover.
Re: Review: TxK (PlayStation Network - Vita)
I used to play Tempest a lot when I was little. When I manage to get my hands on a Vita, I'll definitely be picking this up.
Re: Review: Don't Starve (PlayStation 4)
Awesome review, though, as someone who's not a huge fan of this type of game, I think I'll pass.

Re: Review: Grand Theft Auto V (PlayStation 3)
WHAT?!?!?! NO PERFECT SCORE?!?!?!?! PUSH SQUARE HAS LOST ALL CREDIBILITY BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOOOOOOOTT.
Re: Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Helps Series Conjure 1.4 Million Sales Worldwide
Clocked 50+ hours into it--Amazing RPG. I'd recommend it to anyone wholeheartedly.
Re: E3 2013: Shigeru Miyamoto Enjoys a Moment with Tearaway
@ferrers405 Actually, I think a game like Tearaway is just what the Vita needs to give it some variety!
Re: E3 2013: Shigeru Miyamoto Enjoys a Moment with Tearaway
Lol he looks stone cold!
Re: Star Wars: First Assault Is Currently Lost in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
@ThatOneBlackGuy I'll pass on that--Did not like the TFU series.
Re: Star Wars: First Assault Is Currently Lost in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
@get2sammyb Haha. Brilliant. (-_-; )
Re: Star Wars: First Assault Is Currently Lost in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
@ThatOneBlackGuy 1313 looks great. What I really want, even more than this game, is a new entry in the Jedi Knight series.
Re: Star Wars: First Assault Is Currently Lost in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
@get2sammyb I knew nothing good could come of Disney taking possession of the IP. I've been wanting a Star Wars-based online shooter for years.
Re: Star Wars: First Assault Is Currently Lost in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
Are you serious? Disney's going to kill my dream shooter. Un-freaking-believable.
Re: Interview: Giving Our Gobs a Workout with the Developers of Runner 2
I already own Beat and Runner on my Wii, plus Complete, but I think I'd still buy a PS3 compilation--Just to see them in glorious HD.
Re: Thumbs Up If You'd Like to Play Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F
And no we don't freaking want Yakuza 5 more than this.
Re: Thumbs Up If You'd Like to Play Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F
I will die if this game comes over. Please, Sega!!
Re: Talking Point: Is Sony Putting Too Much Faith in the Killzone Franchise?
I can only speak for myself when I say I'm not remotely interested in KZ4 and it most certainly won't make me buy a PS3.
Re: Game of the Month: February 2013 - Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
I'm 50 hours in and still going strong. Ni No Kuni is flat out amazing.
Re: Microsoft Takes a Shot at Sony's PlayStation 4 Reveal
Microsoft is scared out of their wits after this conference believe you me.
Re: Talking Point: What Went Wrong with PlayStation All-Stars?
When people think of an excellent brawler they think Smash Bros. This game, instead of doing something new and noteworthy, is just trying to be Smash Bros. on PS3 and it doesn't even come close to achieving that goal.
