<![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core - Kotaku Comments]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core - Kotaku Comments]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> Crisis Core is the best game on the PSP system that I have ever played. It plays just like a real console game, it doesn't feel gimped or downgraded from a real console game, Square Enix went all out. The Story is great and doesn't embarrass the Final Fantasy VII name like some of the Compilations have. The story is amazing and really fleshes out the characters of Sepheroth, Cloud, Aeris, and most importantly Zack and Genesis. The graphics are stunning with some of the best CGI scenes paired with them. The game play is great, the fighting plays like kingdom hearts does. The writing and characters are great and the english dubs are impressive, one of Square Enix's best games since Final Fantasy X. With this Patapon, and God of War, it's a great month for the PSP.

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> Wow.

Still no mention of Opoona, the lovable, family friendly tramp that will thrust his bon-bon at your face in a completely suggestive way.

And now, a short, descriptive story about Sony and their products:

I remember, many years ago, when I was a man that lived a full life, or at least as full a life as a 10 year old child could live. Then, as if springing forth from the void itself, a mechanized destroyer of happiness entered my world. My dreams were from then on haunted by the things this bringer of destruction introduced me to; obese Italian plumbers, carnivorous pink blobs, blue murderous androids, even demonic hedgehogs that could appear out of thin air to devour your soul. My life ended the day the engine of my downfall walked upon my doorstep. That is, it ended until the day that the angelic-savior came into my life. An angelic savior that had the same sole function as the doom machine, but was amazingly inferior at completing this task.

The doom machine's name was Sness. The angelic savior's name was Plai Stashun The Third. In case you haven't noticed yet, I am telling the story the opposite as it really happenned. The SNES introduced me to gaming and made me happy. The Playstation 3 set out to destroy everything and everyone I have ever loved.

darthmole12

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> Crisis Core looks nice, but I haven't found myself much interested in the more recent FF games, much less spin-off of old ones. I'm sure I'll find myself with a copy of it here in the next year or so anyways. Although I'm looking forward to Dissidia. I shouldn't be picking up anything new anyways, way too many games to catch up on first. Chronic incompletionist here.

I'm really, really divided about Dark Sector, mostly because DE's last game was exactly what i hoped it wouldn't be (the quintessential generic FPS), and Dark Sector looks like a loving tribute to RE4 and little beyond it. I'll wait for some reviews and word of mouth, unless they do a demo. That would really help me decide

Sunjammer

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> @Krytha: Well some stuff looked interesting and for the time being I just wanted some action game to play that was a bit different than the others Ive been playing lately.

DarkLuigi is Playing Resistance 2

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> about a year ago spin offs started really hurting the appeal of main lines for me. i will be staying as far away from crisis core as possible. at least ff8 and ff9 had no true spin offs, only minimal fan service payed in some "fighting games". new graphics and flashy textures tarnish the memories of resourceful storytelling or the emotions conveyed through giant eye shapes and genius deformed limb manipulation. some people never noticed real artistic talent and the deep thought behind scenes in ff7 but im afraid for those that did crisis core will forever keep those fond memories buried.

dragon sword for me.

Crazy_Buffet_Happens

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> @excel_excel:
Simply being a budget puzzle game doesn't mean it's crap shovel-ware like the titles you listed. Octomania is being published by Atlus. You know, the people that brought us Persona, Trauma Center, Odin Shpere, Etrian Odyssey, etc. Just being published by Atlus doesn't make it good of course, but it's definitely in a class above other crap shovel-ware like the games you listed. It's a quirky Japanese puzzle game, and for $20, I'll probably pick it up.

slacker164

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> pretty excited for dragon sword... my DS has been getting ignored as of late.

Rika Aiuchi is SeXXXy

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> @2NinjasTapedTogether: Well you really should know what it'll be like by now if you've played the Xbox/PS3 games. Very pretty, looks really cool and you'll spend the whole time pretty much mashing the same control over and over trying to ignore that fact and enjoy the cool looking-ness of it. Come to think of it that's pretty much the formula for Devil May Cry as well.

ShineyBlueShoes

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> @CHU BOI: There is only one attack button in Crisis Core so that would be why it's a "one button" game. However, blocking, dashing and dodging all play huge rolls and there's a Hard mode that most definitely is very hard. Even normal can be really hard if you do the optional missions and such.

I really like it.

I may wait on the reviews of Viking, but it looks like my kind of thing ...

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> If I had money, I'd be checking out Gaiden on the DS, just to play with it and see just how well the touch controls are. And, even though I absolutely disliked FF7, I'd probably check out Crisis Core too, just to see if a much more updated look and a (hopefully) more finely honed story/characters would make me change my mind about FF7 as a whole.

ArmyofJuan

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> Crisis Core... It's fun at first but then you start realizing it falls short on many points: poor level design and no "exp" system, instead it revolves around the DMW, which is the worst idea I've ever seen in an action RPG...

Desi

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> I just bought a PSP yesterday from a friend, but oddly enough not for Crisis Core. Spin-off stories in general don't float my boat. To me they come off as forced.. and I can never shake that "Cash in" feeling. It's a feeling that hit it's peak around the time "Dirge" came out.

But I digress, Patapon here I come!

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> I'll be picking up Crisis Core myself. I am really happy with all the positive reviews it has been getting.

IIGrayFoxII

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> Hmm, Crisis Core. Last year I looked at it as being the reason for me to finally get a PSP (It reminded me of Kingdom Hearts and I'm a KH whore). The graphics are absolutely scrumptious but I'm hearing it's a one-, no, Win-button game. I think I'll pass. Gameplay trumps graphics when it comes to handhelds for me. I think I'll be playing Dragon Sword this week when not playing Brawl and CoD4. The touch controls are intriguing and I just have to see it they work.

Yup, looks like I'm still not shelling out for a PSP just y-*Remembers sweet-ass red PSP coming soon*

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> @Draylorn: You've pirated it already?! Man...couldn't you just save your pennies and buy it?! Sheesh.

pylon_trooper

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> So I pirated the game already, and it's actually a lot better than I thought, even having tried the Japanese version previously. The combat is more fun now that I know what I'm doing (though it's not exactly Kingdom Hearts), and the story is very well presented, though a little baffling at times. I would have liked to play as the other SOLDIER members, and having the same sword through the entire game is a little weird, but nevertheless, it's hard to have any real complaints about Crisis Core.

Like so many others have already said, this is one of few games that make it worth having a PSP.

9/10

Draylorn

]]> <![CDATA[Week In Games: Shoot The Core]]> @JimElNino: Bah dont worry Crisis Core is before regular VII so it will gie you the back story and that could help motivate you to beat regular VII.
