Out of the Blue

I propose we stop fooling around and just admit that August is just one big gaming convention. Rather than several smaller demos, game companies could concentrate on making a big splash at a single venue. We could call it AugustCon or something, maybe… E3. Okay, maybe things are better this way.

Force Unleashed thoughts - only got to spend about 15 minutes with it this morning. Got in early, so the download was quick...

  • Pretty.

  • Camera is a PITA.

  • When I hit Jump and then Attack to hit a guy, I instead hover in mid air, thrashing wildly at no one.

  • How many times do I have to force push that guy before he finally dies?

  • Hey! I just took a direct blast from a TIE Fighter and didn't take much damage?!

  • Lopping droids in half is fun. But lopping gungans in half would have been far far more fun.

  • Speaking of lopping, no dismemberment? I'm supposed to be a sith, it's not like we gently tag people and move on to the next guy.

  • Randomly pulling shit off the walls with force pull actually starts get boring after awhile, surprisingly.

  • Is there no easy way to target people?

  • Did I mention the camera sucks?


Not looking good, so far...will give it another shot tonight.
