So the second game in the .hack//G.U. trilogy will be released today (though everyone else apparently got it yesterday) and I still can't help but be hyped.I mean I have read a few reviews about it and as always, it is a mixed bag at best. Some say it is great, while others say it is pure crap.
My verdict? The jury is still out and will remain so until I get my hands on it myself.
I have to admit that it is rare for me to pick up a game, an rpg for that matter, of a series I've never played before and actually like it.
Take for example, Rogue Galaxy.
I saw the ads for it in game mags and I seen the case sitting on the shelf at local game shops. Did it interest me? Some what. But a few years prior, every RPG I picked up ended up with my laughing at how foolish I was to waste my money on buying a piece of crap called a game.
Flash forward to now.
Learning from past mistakes, I take a chance and rent it just to see how it goes. Needless to say, I actually like it! But with my glorious luck, I happened upon a copy of the game that was defective or just plain crap because it generally just stopped working.
Yes, that was crushing to say the least.
So now I wait for .hack//G.U. Volume 2, plus Rogue Galaxy. Here's hoping neither of which are busted.
Topic change, just saw Spider-Man 3 this past Saturday and I walked out of there with mixed feelings. See? The mixed business is a running theme today...! Anyway, if by chance some one reads this and has not seen the movie... turn away, I might give some things up...
Moving along...
The story of it felt choppy to me, like it was rushed some how or not given enough thought. I don't know how to explain it, but just the feeling to me was it wasn't as polished as the previous 2 filmes were. It was rough and I just thought there would be more action to it, considering that there is the black Spider-Man and all that.
Another aspect that I was looking forward to was the black Spider-Man and also Venom finally appearing in the movies. I thought it was funny how the story generally followed the same path as it was done in the animated series.
So how do I feel after seeing the movie? Eh. I couldn't take Venom seriously, I mean it was that guy from That 70's Show. I don't even know the guy's name! And the black Spider-Man? Whoa, alien goo makes Spider-Man wanna... dance!? What? Yes he becomes more aggressive, but really... it looked more like a joke then anything to me.
Personally, it makes me worry about how good Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End will be. Only time will tell now!
'Nuff said.
