Blue Dragon demo now available OMG ZOMG LOL WTF OMG!!!1!!!

[Joe Redifer]

It sucks ass.  Battles aren't very intuitive and they take f o r e v e r.  This game's length will only come from it's looong battles (which, like nearly all RPGs seems to be the only basis of the game).  Graphics are good, but I don't care for the character designs.  Music isn't bad at all (from what I heard).  Voices are lame.  HUGE V-sync problem just like most 360 games.  16-bit era RPGs destroy this game.

Also, the ARCADE version of Golden Axe is available to download from Xbox Live Arcade.  That's a far better way to spend your time (you can play through 3 levels in single player without buying it).

Seriously, the arcade Golden Axe is on there now? I hadn't read anything about either of these downloads lately.

I'm going to go them right now.

f*ck Blue Dragon, Golden Axe PWNS that (although I am partial to the Genesis version)!

[Joe Redifer]

Yup, it's the arcade Golden Axe!  It even has online co-op if you are into that sort of thing.  It is missing the additional level from the Genesis version, of course.

Sonic Genesis is also available for download, but no one cares.

Well at least THAT Xbox Sonic isn't broken...

Agreed who would care given it's on the sonic mega collection.

It's even on the Wii VC and i still see it as a waste.

[Joe Redifer]

The only good thing about it is that it cost $5 on Xbox Live Arcade and $8 on Virtual Console.

... HUGE V-sync problem just like most 360 games.

Huh? I've rarely seen this in 360 games, though I've noticed it more on PS2 and Xbox late gen games.

[Joe Redifer]

Maybe it's just been on most of the 360 games that I have personally played.  It wasn't there in Gears of War, though.

It does it a lot in MotoGP 06 and that kind of irked me since none of the Xbox MotoGPs did it.

[nodtveidt]

A demo is never representative of the completed project...unless it's a demo of the completed product, in which case there's no excuse for sloppy shit, that thing better be in top form.

[Joe Redifer]

I've always found the demos on Xbox Live to be highly representative of the finished thing, at least graphically.  Sure, they may change a scenario or a control around somewhat, but the graphics/animation are almost always 100% identical.

Blue dragon is alright!  But yea.. I was expecting better and I hate the music. 

I prefer the battle and graphics on Eternal Sonata.

Still I definitely be picking up blue dragon as the 360 is in dire need of jp rpgs!!!

But if you buy it, you're saying to Microsoft "I don't give a f*ck if the game is shitty, release it anyway!". 0_o

Isn't that what you're doing when you buy most modern games anyway?

[Joe Redifer]

LOL, yes!  It sure seems like it.  Although I will definitely be buying Ace/Air Combat 6 on day 1.
