Heavenly Sword Comments by Kristan Reed

Nice one.

@belziah

"when i buy a console for £280 i expect it to last longer than 13 months and not be lied to by customer services and charged for its shittý design faults

and the fact that until GoW the most popular game being played was halo2 pretty much nullifies your bullshit fanboy ravìng.

Sony have fucked up big time in its launch execution of the PS3 just lìke it did wìth PS2 and we know badly that worked out.

This time last year lego starwars was the highlight of 360 gaming and as great as that was it wasnt exactly tha shiznit to spend £300 on, so please, make your mother proud and keep it in your pants, no one wants to see it, even if it does do tricks when the dog sneezes on it;)"

Means nothing. Absolutely nothing.

In the here and now, Sony HAVE to compete with M$. To say that gamers should 'give the PS3 a chance, it's not been out long..' is just plain stupid when there's a console with a better range of quality games as an alternative.

Sony have rested on their laurels and have banked on teh power of Blu-Ray to see it through. They've given us nothing in the way of top-grade games. Warhawk and Motorstorm are, imho, the only two titles worthy and even one of those is a d/l option.

For a console to be out for a year, with the 360 as a direct competitor, and still not produce a wealth of exclusive AAA titles is a fucking joke. Nothing more can be said.

Face facts. Sticking yer head in the sand just makes you look stupid.

This time last year lego starwars was the highlight of 360 gaming

No, I believe Condemned, PGR3, GRAW, Oblivion, Dead Rising etc. were the highlights

I wasn't gonna buy it anyway, but still...

EG being overly-critical of a PS3 title due to their own expectations being too high, while most other online reviews are simply very positive (average ratio on Game Rankings 83%)?

I'd like to say I'm surprised...!

How about instead gauging it against the alternatives and it's own actual merits? No? Okay.

PS3, disappointment followed by disappointment. What a load of junk, Teh powazerz of der CELL!!!11LOL, TEh BlooRai iZ werf it... PS3 is lol. That is all.

UncleLol.

See what I did there;)

Yossarian

10 month old games were your highlight for August 06. Did love Dead Rising despite the dodgy save mechanic.

@ belziah

Well, you're off on your sense of timing with Lego Star Wars, seeing as it came out mid-September last year.

So I think Yossarian is well within his rights to mention games that didn't come out only in August 2006. And he mentioned Dead Rising, as did you, although you seem to dismiss it (despite saying you 'loved' it) and tell Yossarian what his own personal highlight for 360 gaming was - i.e. "10 month old games".

Nice. I'm sure your psychic hat does wonders for you every Wednesday and Saturday night, helping you choose 6 numbers. I mean, otherwise, how could you possibly know what Yossarian's (or anyone else's) "highlight for August 06" was? Although, Yossarian DID mention one game from that month (DR), but you then ignored that to focus on the other games he'd mentioned, didn't you?

Because that was the gist of what you were trying to say appeared to me to be - that Dead Rising was not good enough to be considered a "highlight" for August 2006, so the only games left that could possibly compete with what you implied was a 'poor' highlight (Lego Star Wars) were all "10 month old games" - implyng that the only games worth playing on the 360 in August 2006 were either 10 months old or Lego Star Wars and kinda possibly Dead Rising.

/Jeez, this rant was longer than I meant it to be. Think I'm feeling ratty today....

@ Kato

That's quite a... er, disturbing way to put it.

And yet, it makes so much sense.

Hey Kryon, my brother has a PS3 and it looks like his momma - fat, ugly, only ever watches movies, has a cell. She's always got people taking the piss out of her, just like the PS3... always saying "Mommalolz and Teh Powerz of da Momma!". Did you know this?

"10 month old games were your highlight for August 06. Did love Dead Rising despite the dodgy save mechanic."

@belziah

Table Tennis, Prey, Chromhounds (online), Hitman Blood Money, LotR and Saints Row all came out during the summer of 2006 for 360 besides Dead Rising. None were AAA games but at least we had "something" tide us over until the big games came out in fall and holiday.

PS3 didn't have much come out this summer and now Heavenly Sword and Lair tallied par scores which will make me hold out on buying a PS3 until at least Winter 2008. :)

edit: oops...how could I forget AAA title Uno came out summer 2006 too

Ha Ha (like Nelson)

charming_fox, that's great man, tell your bro he sucks and that I'm loling at him for owning a PS3 :)

MrsPacMan, your bewbs look so juicy 'n' lemony-fresh in that profile pic, can you please forward a few more pics to my e-mail, ta.

hey charming_fox, isn't your brother's momma your momma too?

edit: oops!

7/10. it'll sell like hot cakes regardless.

@ Twincoil

If you're older than twelve please do society a favour and never leave your house.

And when others were suggesting that you edit your post, I think they were meaning this particular line:

'My name is Twincoil and I'm an idiot who doesn't know how to put an opinion across without being aggressive or resulting to big words like 'Fuck' and mention that I'm drunk as it makes me look big and hard!'

"7/10. it'll sell like hot cakes regardless."


Yeah, hotcakes covered in shit and sick : )

^^^

You forgot 'piss' and 'knob zit pus' :)

Sirtimalot:Warhawk gets an 8 and people love it, Heavenly sword gets a 7 and people say its a flop??? confusing. Tis a good review and sounds like a good game, will pick it up and no doubt enjoy it. If you think 7 is a shit score and it will be a shit game all you have to do is not buy it.

Holy crap!A sensible comment.

Have both Ps3 and 360. Fact is despite the fact I prefer playing with the PS3 (HMDI and very much quieter) the 360 has much better software. And rip off prices for blueray movies is not encouraging either.

Go to any Game and you have to look hard for the sad empty looking ps3 section whilst the 360 looks vibrant.

As for heavely sword I will buy it but please sony, get your finger out.

@reddevil93

Stop and think. Warhawk has been though huge changes. It was never expected to be the top-grade title that something with the production value of HS was, thus the scoring on it was expected to be ok-good.

HS on the other hand has been hailed and hyped, for quite some time, as the 'next big thing' for the PS3, thus everyone was expecting exceptional reviews and scores. Which it just hasn't got.

As many people on here have said, they were expecting more. They don't want 'ok' games on what it supposed to be the best console on the market. They want games that will blow the player away. Something that, aside from Motorstorm (and even that is debatable), Sony has yet to achieve.

Like it or not, there it is. Take the rose tinted glasses off.

the aw3som3 c3ll!
I still find odd how can anyone say to prefer playing on a PS3 "but" recognizes the best games are on a 360...?

Well, I hope all you Dorris Day-Station fans have learnt your lesson from this! Your console is nothing more than lol and even Ken is loling at you for buying it. In the future I suggest you cast aside the lies and propaganda Sony pierces your tiny brains with and make a wiser purchase :)

Because it is quieter :) The 360 still is too noisy. However that may change with th 65 nm version allegedly already in boats and heading our way.

I think PS3 owners can only nit pick (Always the same topic - Loud (in reality is not) /Red Ring) at 360 as there so desperate to convince themselves purchasing a overpriced gaming consol - PS3!...PS3 can't compete on games, game exclusives, multimedia, online gaming, cheaper price that still is doing everything better then PS3, better looking and better framerates on multiformat games, PC/360 online and exclusives.

Oh! HDMI against HD VGA is hardly noticeable. In some case the colors look more natural on VGA.

"Movietyme want me to fax over my passport and credit card details to be a customer with them. They can fuck off. :)"

Why?! Because they want to make sure YOU are the one placing the order and not some internet criminal?! Those damn bastards...

I'm not blaming them, I'm just not not going to do it. I don't have to with Amazon and a whole host of other sites. I don't have immediate access to a fax machine either.

TBH I wouldn't do that to buy a game either. Give them my passport details and credit card details over fax, I think bloody not. Paranoid perhaps but that's far too much information to give someone I wouldn't know whether to trust with that info or not.

Sounds like a pretty fair review. It was what I was expecting actually. Good but not great gameplay wrapped in a genuinely impressive presentation.

In many respects, this comes off sounding similar to Ninety Nine Nights. Good but not great... etc etc...

The thing is, I love NNN - even though I am very aware that it's not the best game ever. It's simplistic, rather shallow and quite repetitive - but for all that it keeps me coming back for more and I honestly love the game. It's a easy experience, somehow relaxing for all the visual dramatics. I like play a game from a semi-catatonic state, dribbling onto my sofa from time to time. If every game was an intense and demanding as (the excellent) Bioshock then we'd probably get bored of that too.

So yeah, this 7/10 has actually recommended the game to me in some respects.

"bullshit fanboy raving"

Great name for a music band! Thanks!

blablabla
the wii is a toy
the xbox 360 is a good console, noisy, shit hardware but with some good games.
the PS3 is the console for the years to come, incredible hardware.. incredible games and experiences to come. Periode. Hey, just wait some months, all those xbox360 fanboys will shut up (I own all console, so I'm not ruled by my frustration, like all of you fanboys, is it sony, nintendo, or Microsoft). Peace :)

"It's only kept alive by desperate PS3 fanboys trying to find a stick to bash the 360 with."

Talk about blind faith... I wonder how long before we'll see the first suicide bombing in the name of the console wars... Idiots.

"TBH I wouldn't do that to buy a game either. Give them my passport details and credit card details over fax, I think bloody not. Paranoid perhaps but that's far too much information to give someone I wouldn't know whether to trust with that info or not."

AFAIK passport isn't required. They want your credit card details and a credit card statement with your address (you can blank out any purchase details as that indeed is none of their business). All information that you need to supply anyway if you order online. It's just an additional security measure to make sure no internet criminal is making purchases with your card. Can't see much fault in that. But of course, not buying online at all is best for your privacy, though not for your bank account...

@ebe

So what you're saying essentially is that the PS3 fans have nothing but the faint 'hope' of a decent game in the near future left to justify that £425 price tag While Wii owners enjoy their cool 'toys' and 360 owners enjoy the best 'next gen' entertainment available at present?

I must say, I totally agree:)

Edit - @Les, you really shouldn't talk about blind faith, you probably still believe that 'emotion engine' shite that Ken told you about ten years ago. I know you still believe in 'teh power of teh Cell' (as you've admitted on many occasions) even though a year has passed and there is still no proof of this overbearing 'power'. You also have an unhealthy hatred towards anything MS (again as you have admitted many times). So please don't accuse others of blind faith or brand loyalty as you are the biggest culprit of both.

NB - Don't post back asking me to "show you a post where you've admitted MS hatred or belief in the Cell". Every EG regular already knows your biased views and has read them many times over.

"Every EG regular already knows your biased views and has read them many times over."

I think the few sane people around here know better... And frankly, had I cared for anyone's opinion, it would be theirs.

But please continue with your silly holy war. Maybe you indeed do get lucky and 360 maidens await you in the afterlife...

"But please continue with your silly holy war"

Funny, considering your previous Sony fanboy ramblings, you are actually starting to sound like a beaten dog, almost as if trying to bow out of the limelight you once treasured, disregarding the claims you once made. Are you scared Les? Is your PS dynasty dieing a painful death? There is no 'war' for 360 owners, we have games to play instead.

"There is no 'war' for 360 owners, we have games to play instead."

You actually play games?! Wow, thought you guys get off by proclaiming how great your toy is all over the internet... But you're sad and I'm out.

Weak come back Les, just weak... Like I said, a beaten dog :(

ebe: yeah I know your type, you don't game, you like the idea of eventually..., in a distant future the pow3r of th3 c3ll will spawn, and OH MY GOD! we have a game!.

Got to go play Bioshock now...

FFS! Do you people patrol every fucking thread looking to start a fight. Its fucking pathetic.

360 owners - fuck off and play your fucking games that you love so much, yeah? Maybe then you can stop trolling EG.

Oh and btw, Bioshock is on pc too, and runs well on 2-3 year old systems, so i guess ps3 owners can still play it anyway provided they bought a pc anytime since 2004.

p.s. i don't own a ps3

Wow, Katsumoto, you've got a bit of a teen angst thing going on there I think, calm down and stop getting so emotional, the PS3 is only a console, not your mother, stop upsetting yourself. Yeah, people call it silly names like the 'lolS3' or DorissDay-station and ritually put the system down but don't worry, one day maybe you'll have a 360 and be able to play real next gen games! cool, huh! :)

It's okay, I own a pc, so have been playing them before you ever set eyes on a 360. Boo hoo?

Boo Hoo? Why would I be crying? I obviously own a PC too, unless you think I'm posting here by 'teh magic' ...

You could be using the internet channel on your Wii or Ps3!

Nah, I'm not into pseudo 'entertainment hubs', I use the PC for PC things, including games on occasion. I tend to use consoles only for games, that's why the 360 is the only next gen system that cuts it with me.

"but you just feel constrained."

Surely it should read:

"I felt constrained."

Why do reviewers persist in not writing in the first person??? After all, the author is writing his thoughts on the matter.

haha... another bs game on ps3 after lair. now we all know that masterchief will come to finish the console fight once and for all... ps3 pwned

Heavenly Sword and Warhawk are receiving a lot of "Mixed Reviews." The scores for those two gaves have been poorly rated with scores like 6 out of 10.

Lair is a HUGE disappointment, though...it receives LOW SCORES...it is one of the WORST games this generation. IGN rated Lair only a 4.9 out of 10, and Gamespot rated it only a 4.5 out of 10. PSM Magazine rated it only a 5 out of 10.

PSM magazine rated Warhawk only a 6.5 out of 10.

Well, I hope all you Dorris Day-Station fans have learnt your lesson from this! Your console is nothing more than lol and even Ken is loling at you for buying it. In the future I suggest you cast aside the lies and propaganda Sony pierces your tiny brains with and make a wiser purchase :)

We've heard it all before mate. People like you panned the PS2, derided it's lack of games (to begin with) and laughed at people who defended their purchase.

Well, the rest as they say, is history.
