[ALL] Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

[Twigg4075]

It seems that the game may be catching a little more steam because of the demo. I just listened to the Open Forum Radio podcast for the first time after hearing them join a recent Gamer Husbands podcast. The main host, can't remember his name now, was raving about it and said he's getting it day one. Then one of the other guys said he will get it because he also has a Kmart coupon and didn't know what to get with it because it expires in October and there weren't any games coming out in October that he wanted. Now there is.

this game seems all right but 60 bucks for it may be a little too much right now

I agree, which is why I'll only be paying $35.:horse:

And then turn around and get Borderlands GotY for PS3 for $35 with the coupon from Enslaved.

Im only paying $25

You sonuvabitch!

Which version you getting?

Played the demo and I liked it, looks pretty cool from the trailer at the end, must say though it really is like Uncharted. Don't know if it's a Day 1 purchase yet because FIFA will have a hold of my life lol but I'll definitely be picking it up.

Nice review from Joystiq

Nice review from Joystiq

IGN gave it an 8. Their main complaint was the loose controls and how the gameplay seems like it can be almost be on autopilot sometimes.

Yeah, I saw after I posted the Joystiq review that most sites have been giving it an 8, which is still damn good. I know someone gave it a low score though. I can't remember who.

I love watching Mo-Cap stuff.

The game is out today for those that forgot. I should be picking my copy up in a bit. I need to finish DeathSpank first though.

Just saw Shipwreck from CAG's review...

Bought this today, going to start it tomorrow.

 

[Twigg4075]

I got my copy as well. Whicg version did you get? I go it for PS3.

I'm determined to finish DeathSpank first though. I checked and it says I'm at 75%. I thought I was right at the end after yesterday but then I played for a few more hours today and opened up another area.

I might not be able to start Enslaved until I get back from vacation.

I bought it for ps3. I figured since Ninja Theory worked on the ps3 before with heavenly Sword, it would end up being better on the ps3.

Im waiting for a $20 package of both Deathspanks before I buy them.

I hear ya but I can assure you at least the first one is well worth $15. I have almost nine hours in (actual game time, not total time I've played) and I'm at 75%.

If thte math proves correct it will end up being a 12+ game. All that for $15 is a steal.

 

[Buzzman]

I swear, I'm barely 2 chapters in and I already lvoe these two characters. Monkey is a badass, but not your typical angry hero type that you normally get. And Trip is fuckign hot and so innocent. Its cute. Her face after Monkey kills two mechs is so awesome, she is scared and in awe at the same time.

I'm only on Chapter 2. I just got past the pasrt where you have to catch a dragonfly. I'm really digging this game.

I plan on playing it much of the day tomorrow if I can take off work tomorrow night.

Not only is it a qaulity game but it also includes the tride and true addicting collect-a-thon of collecting those orange orbs which I believe amounts to the games currency.

 

[Tengo Juego]

Currently on Chapter 5, playing on Hard. Game is moving really fast. Very repetitive. But I enjoy the character development.

I hate the orbs. I have like OCD when it comes to those things. I want to get them all, but there's so many.

That's exactly why I love them. Yummy orbs.

Just hit Chapter 4. Loving this game so far.
What are you guys spending your upgrades on? I'm going with Health and Combat for now.
