Zeta Fact #1:

The first character to use "ZetaBlade" as a name was my Froglok Paladin in the original EverQuest.

Re: NMH2 - Looks stupid.

[scy]

As long as they just bring over the good parts from NMH (the actual combat and not the silly overworld) then NMH2 is pretty much going to be amazing. It isn't much, though; just a hack-and-slash with crazy characters but it has a certain charm to it.

If you didn't like NMH (or the genre) I sincerely doubt you'd care about NMH2.

[spoiler]Bayonetta should be great for the Fall and NMH2 for the Winter as far as the action genre is concerned. So ... yay. Awesome.[/spoiler]

Edit: Speaking of Bayonetta (moved from another topic since it fits here more >>):



Hard to believe . Time to get hyped for another Kamiya game huh.

[spoiler]Sell better than Okami, thanks.

ps, Video link there needs to be downloaded to see it at 60 FPS. The stream isn't going to show it at 60 FPS. Though so ... yay. I'd still download it to watch (better quality) but ... whatever.

Hope they fix the clipping and touch up the dismembering a little. Her Climax kill at the end of the first fight (...) kind of looked like ripping a G.I. Joe in half or something. For how fluid and polished the game is otherwise, these two stand out a bit to me >>[/spoiler]

That is all.
