That wasn't funny AT ALL!! =P

And there isn't a single bad thing anyone can say about Blue Dragon other than its kiddy look. Sure there are things people can nitpick about, but all in all the game has a solid foundation and from what I've seen of the actual game so far I'm not disappointed :)


Too Human yea... Too Human deserves all the criticism it has received because now the game may actually turn into the incredible game we all imagined it could end up being. We read all the newspaper articles, all the denis dyack interviews, watched all the video interviews, anything that told us more about the game we were all over it (well I was) When the first screens showed up it was almost too good to be true we heard about the amazing fighting etc then bam E3... it ended up being a monster disappointment.

I still have high hopes it'll turn out to be great title, but what I saw at E3 doesn't warrant much confidence other than silikon knight's reputation. Now it might end up being a good game, but I get the feeling it might never be the game I imagined it would end up being, but time will tell.

Oh by the way BLUE DRAGON OWNS YOU ALL!!! :)

We need a word filter. Every thread I read where Op has posted has Blue Dragon :P! Here's some examples.

I know he has no interest in Blue Dragon at all, but he sure does mention it alot ;).

"Blue Dragon" is Op's version of the Candian "Eh?"

Canadian EB Employee: Hey, eh! You looking to buy a new game, eh?

Optimus: I was looking at your new releases, Blue Dragon. Is Prey in yet, Blue Dragon? Or how about Battle for Middle Earth 2, do you have that in, Blue Dragon?

Canadian EB Employee: Uh, hmmm... ok, eh. What game are you wanting to look at again, eh?

Optimus: Didn't you hear me, Blue Dragon? I am looking for Prey or Battle for Middle Earth 2, Blue Dragon.

Canadian EB Employee: We have Prey and Battle for Middle Earth 2 eh! But Blue Dragon is a 2007 release in Canada eh

Optimus: Cool, I am really interested in Prey and BFME2 Blue Dragon! But I know Blue Dragon is a 2007 title and I never mentioned it so please stop the pressure sales tactics! Blue Dragon.

Canadian EB Employee: Look hozer, you can look at Prey and BFME2 in the display case eh. But YOU keep mentioning Blue Dragon and we don't have it eh.

Optimus: Oh switch off! Just show me the display case where you keep the games Blue Dragon.

Canadian EB Employee: Ok sir, I am going to have to ask you to leave the store eh

Optimus: BLUE DRAGON?! I come in here looking to buy a couple games in good faith and you keep getting all huffy about some game coming next year, Blue Dragon. I want PREY, Blue Dragon. I want BFME2, Blue Dragon. I know that Blue Dragon is a 2007 title so stop the pressure sales tactics, Blue Dragon!

Canadian EB Employee: Security will be here any moment eh

Optimus: You are an undercover Sony plant, Blue Dragon <huffing and puffing> All I did was come here to buy some X360 games Blue Dragon. And you start ranting about unavialable games and when I tried to buy some games you berated me about a game not being out, Blue Dragon. You're a loser BLUE DRAGON!!

--

For months it was Too Human, and as of late every Op thread feels like that! >:(

Maybe we should tell him no more Blue Dragon talk until we see some new gameplay? Like ration his game topic discussions? Like no inserting Blue Dragon or Too Human comments in unrelated threads? If the thread title does not have the game title in the subject line it will mean auto-delete for any posts with comments about those games.

I think that would be a great way to clean up the forums. Any other ideas before I ratify this as law? :)

Actually Blue Dragon has always been my most wanted title, but when I found out more about too human I got extremely excited. There was a dry spell of blue dragon info and too human info was just starting to come out.

I'm still excited for too human, but sakaguchi's games are the reason I own a 360.

I really enjoyed that little convo though acert :)


I mean I don't REALLY talk about blue dragon that much do I? You know what I like best about blue dragon? Oh nevermind...

Blue Dragon has always been the game I wanted most on the 360 it is by no means a backup that has taken the place of too human after E3. BUT at E3 the game I wanted to see the most was too human simply because of all the crazy things said about it plus I wanted to see if they truly delivered on all that crazy martial arts action they promised. Too Human may have been what I wanted to see most, but the fact still remains Blue Dragon is why i bought the 360. The thought of something else coming out of nowhere to be a potential must have peaked my interest (too human)

Yea I know what ya mean I'm just really excited about the game and still really excited about Too Human. Silikon Knights are known for delaying a game until they get it right and I would expect nothing less than their best effort on what is suppose to be considered Silikon Knight's dream project.

When someone says this is a game that they believe will define the company forever its something that really excites me. What they showed at E3 didn't look too impressive, but there is most definetly a lot of potential there. They said they wont show the game again until they feel its ready.

I think the next time we see the game in motion people will be rather surprised. If it looks like crap again they will have successfully killed off what little hope everyone had for the game.

And I think you're right Optimus. One way or another. For good or bad, we'll be surprised.

lol yeah I noticed it to that in almost every thread about a game Op mentiones Blue Dragon. I'm always like *sigh* here we go again! No offence though Op it's not a crime to be excited you just raised the word 'excited' to a higher level lol

2006-07-20 19:10:28

I don't think so I'm pretty sure I'm not anymore excited for blue dragon than others are for their most anticipated 360 games.

Did you agree with me? Yes, No? Visit http://www.lebato.blogspot.com and see if we agree on something.

2006-07-23 16:48:37

Well I suppose you just don't have that kind of humour, it's really not awfully difficult to figure that out. There's plenty of stuff that's supposedly funny that I'm not amused by, and sometimes you have to understand the people making the jokes to be able to appreciate the jokes themselves.

In this case they illustrate how they think Eternal Darkness is a brilliant game and Too Human looks a bit naff, and after Dyack said there'd be more ED games, Too Human just feels like layers of something they have to dig through to get to the *gold*. I suppose there's clever funny and HA HA funny though.

But like Homer once said, it's funny because it's true.

I say, anytime we see the words Blue and Dragon together in a post by Optimus, we boulet time him.
Every Boulet Time he gets, he has to do a Hoola dance while singing "La couca racha!, La couca racha!", each in a different part of the country, video tape it, and send it directly to Blim for News Posting.

Then we can point and laugh.

oddly, the pa guy didn't mention anything about collision detection or ai among his many criticisms of the game.

did he just forget?

not notice?

it's a good thing he doesn't post here.
