Generation X Episode #31: Who Doesn't Like A Ton of Cut Scenes?

E-mail Print PDF

Generation X

In this episode, we discuss the utter importance of accepting a game for what it is instead of complaining about something it does not possess, for an example Heavy Rain, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII containing so much in-game video. We tackle the idea of how gamers purchase games and how they decide which to rent when comparing similar games. Exclusivity becomes an issue again when talking about L.A. Noire becoming multiplatform. Of course, what would be a GenX podcast without us poking fun at our site mates and making fun of PS3 MAG players. Some how Steven Segull becomes a quick topic for discussion. Konrad G delivers another GamerTunes. Stay tuned.

Before I listen:
M$ gave XBOX 1 players enough run, its time to shut it down.
Bioshock 2 is going to slow my Mass Effect 2 Insanity level quest. Day 1 purchase!
Halo Wars was great, my first RTS game purchased & beaten.

@Sanii,

I understand Halo Wars may be boring because its an RTS game, but Bioshock 2 & Mass Effect 2?, I dont know those games are sharp with great control. What are your true feelings of Heavy Rain, you hinted at it but never elaborated on your thoughts. Also, Mass Effect 2 & Bioshock 2?



I know why Heavy Rain isn't going to sell worth a crap, do you think Bioshock 2 will sell well. I think Bioshock 2 will hang 1 million this month alone, I'm picking it up in the morning. I finished Mass Effect 2 in 58hours, could have finished it sooner, I'll start a new mission with my Level 30 Shepard tonight.

BIoshock will sell. Heavy rain won't. Heavy rain is flat out boring that's my opinion.

I don't think Heavy Rain is gonna be a big hit but I know people out there that cannot wait for the game, for me I might just rent it but this might change soon. I'm loving this faction MAG war lmao. Great podcast!

@Louie,
You said you may not go to E3? Dude, you need to go. I know we aren't paying you, however, after the excellent footage & interviews you gave after you went to the other show, the same great service would be much appreciated.


@JSkyWalker,
I need a few slots open right now, I'm at 96 friends, I'd like to add more.

@Konrad,
Stop Talking over one of the greatest soundtracks of All Times: Streets Of Rage 1! Turn that **** UP, Music is better when its "LOUD"!

Anyways heavy rain will be awesome, sales don't always depict a good game, it'll be a cult classic like team ico games or even indigo prophecy,

@Diz,
Sometimes that's true, Ninja Gaiden 2 should have sold 10million worldwide imo, but with all the internet & podcast HYPE of Heavy Rain all over the airwaves & after playing that demo a few times: It absolutely has Super Suck written all over it imo. If Heavy Rain sells 9 copies SONY should throw a party!

I really like Heavy Rain, I liked the fight using QTEs smilies/smiley.gif It's a lot like Fahrenheit, when demo ended I was like "Nooooooooo , one more scene please!!" xD. Can't wait.

Heavy Rain - I will rent the game, not buying. I think the game offers some different. I glad Bayonetta is selling well. I have that game next in my GameFly Q. Flash based game of Madden, WTF!
