LazyBoy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I was considering picking up Lost Odessy when I went down to the store today only to find it was on 4 DVDs!! Fuck that. Any game that need 4 DVDs can go screw itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 ...Why does the amount of discs required effect any game? The PS1 FF games were spread over several discs. Lost Oddesey is that way because of all the HD cut scenes and high res models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calza Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 And its like once every what 6+ hours and when you are on the final disc you don't need to do it ever again. People make such a fuss over some thing so small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domstercool Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Nothing wrong with changing discs, unless it was something like this. Heheh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Jeeze... That image is BS 360 uses 9GB discs, a Blu Ray is like... 50GB. So it'd probably be like 5 discs if it ever came over :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khilafah Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 not sure why people have a problem changing dics. damn it is not a big deal!! Try 13 floppy discs with Monkey Island II on the Amiga then come and complain!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyBoy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 If Mario Galaxy can do brilliance on one disk so can everything else. Its principle. It's also a sign that it's all about the FMVs, i.e. not my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a sign that it's all about the FMVs, i.e. not my thing. Mario Galaxy isn't a 40 hour RPG, with HD cut scenes, hundreds of enemy types and massively high res textures. Its all relative... plus they have to fit hours of speech in there for several languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 It's also a Dreamcast game. To be fair the Dreamcast version was on 2 discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 HD textures take a lot of space, that's why not having a high capacity disc system is a little paradoxal on XBOX, but it's not that big a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyBoy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Ha played the cube version, but my point stands that Skies is a phonomenal RPG even today, and it isn't on four disks. I think the larger issue I have is with FMVs. I think they're lazy. And I don't mean in a "they don't take any time to make" lazy. I mean that using FMVs in a game is out of place. A medium where you are supposed to be immersed into the experience is not fitting for story telling where you're supposed to sit back and take it. Now Half Life 2, that's how you do it. Or even better, Metroid. The story telling fitted the medium and genre. Shit these chinese won't quite with these fucking fireworks. Edit: Oh yeah, i realise the irony of talking bout laziness. I'm thinking of changing my name soon anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Personally I love FMV cutscenes, especially when Square-Enix is involved as they do it so well. I dont think I would have felt half the emotions I did when playing Kingdom Hearts or FFVIII if the final cutscenes of the game were done using the ingame engines.

triforce_keeper Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Why has Lost Odyssey skipped my radar? Looks awesome, it's a JRPG right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ironflame Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'm quite early into Lost odyssey and it's been one too many cutscenes so far I must of played 30 minutes of walking around Uhra City and 30 minutes of cutscenes before finally getting out of that area.

Domstercool Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The first couple of hours are really slow in LO, but stick with it. I'm now on Disc 2 and it's really starting to get interesting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 OK what the hell. On Crackdown I'm doing one of the rooftop races in Los Muertos and one of the checkpoints is in the water just off the coast I go to it and nothing happens. Has anyone else found this?
