[Let's Play] Zone of the Enders. (05/14) set06 -- THE END!

I'm hijacking my own trainwreck of a thread. Pryzm is for nerds.

ZONES OF THE ENDERS
Zone_of_the_Enders_Cover.jpg
Zone of the Enders (ゾーン　オブ　エンダーズ ,Zōn obu Endāzu?), also known as Z.O.E., is a video game that was developed and published by Konami in 2001 for the PlayStation 2. It was produced by, and is closely associated with, Hideo Kojima. The game is based around mecha combat. The mechas were designed by Yoji Shinkawa, the character and mechanical designer for the Metal Gear Solid series. The game was originally sold packaged with a preview demo of the then-upcoming Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.

This is a game about giant robots, an emo kid, et cetera. You know the drill. Some people in here said they wanted to see it, and it ended up being in my PS2 somehow.

This is the old OP.
Samurai Western is DONE. Freakin' midgets. Anyway, that means it's time for a new LP to begin, however.. I'm not sure which I want to do. Here are the two main choices:

PRYZM

1) PRYZM CHAPTER ONE THE DARK UNICORN
pryzmchapteronethedarku.jpg

There isn't even a wikipedia article on this game, so I'll just type out the back of the box for you.

IN A DESOLATE WORLD WHERE MUTANTS REIGN, FATE LIES IN THE HANDS OF TWO UNLIKELY HEROES

A CORRUPTING PLAGUE OF DARK MAGIC GRIPS THE WORLD...ONCE LUSH LANDS HAVE TURNED BARREN, AND THE INHABITANTS HAVE BECOME HOSTILE MUTANT CREATURES.
NOW, JOIN THE QUEST OF A UNIQUE YOUNG UNICORN AND A TENACIOUS OLD TROLL IN A DESPERATE BID TO FIND AND DESTROY THE SOURCE OF THE CURSE.
  1. JOURNEY THROUGH FOUR VAST AND EERIE LANDS-EACH WITH FOUR LEVELS TO EXPLORE
  2. CAST EIGHT POWERFUL SPELLS AGAINST 24 BIZARRE MUTANT ENEMIES
  3. BATTLE FIVE GARGANTUAN BOSSES
  4. RESTORE LANDS AND INHABITANTS TO HEALTH AND WITNESS THEIR AMAZING TRANSFORMATION

This game is hella epic. Also, it was made by DICE. That's right, the masterminds behind Battlefield and Mirror's Edge.

Here's the epic intro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7vcdKnfYOg

2) JAWS UNLEASHED
jawsunleashed.jpg
Jaws Unleashed is a 2006 video game licensed from the 1975 film Jaws. It was developed by Appaloosa Interactive, developer of the popular Ecco the Dolphin series, and released by Majesco. Like the Grand Theft Auto series, the game is open-ended; the player can roam free throughout the water, feeding on other animals and destroying everything in his path. Jaws Unleashed for Xbox is not currently compatible with the Xbox 360.

Amity Island is growing, making corporate connections with prestigious companies like Environplus to improve the Island’s economy. Unfortunately the increased population around the Island and recent industrial activity has also attracted YOU--one of Earth’s most fearsome creatures--a Great White Shark. When the Environplus CEO’s son falls prey to your deadly attacks, the CEO hires renowned shark hunter Cruz Ruddock to track and kill you. Meanwhile, Marine Biologist Michael Brody tries to capture you for research. Can Ruddock and Brody stop you from causing havoc and killing more people before the 4th of July celebration?

SilentPhil2 once again provides us with a great example of gameplay:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDkqZ9px-Dc

These are the two main choices, although I did get some other games recently: Silpheed, Gungriffon, Tokobot+, Rygar (this looks pretty awesome).. and something else, I forget.

Or, if you don't like these choices, suggest something else. I might have it.

I'd also like to take the bottom of this post to share with you: Bladestorm.
bladestormcover.jpg

Bladestorm is a very unique game for the 360 and PS3. It's from the dudes who made Dynasty Warriors, so you know it's gonna involve killing hella mans in bases. But, it's not like DW where you play as one man. Hell no, this ain't no story about a reluctant hero (I'm looking at you, Red Faction Guerrilla), this is about a badass mercenary and his other mercenary bros kicking ass for the French or English.

    Wow... uh...

    The Unicorn game is my vote. A weird dwarf talking shit to a unicorn would never get old... or would it?

    The Jaws game is mind boggling. Grand Theft Auto is one thing, but that just looks sadistic. Open-ended games can sometimes lead to unintended hilarity but this one looks like it would be boring to watch after a couple minutes.

    This is probably gonna reflect poorly on me, but I was kinda sold on Jaws Unleashed from that video. Sure, it's obviously not a great looking game, but you could at least tell that the dev team spent some time researching how sharks swim, cause that looked pretty realistic. And uh... eating Amity swimmers seemed fun enough.

    I don't know what was more awesome or hilarious of the jaws video:

    The part where the shark belly-flopped onto the sailboat. Twice.

    Or when the shark threw the body onto the shore and it gibbed.

    I LOVED Bladestorm, but I don't know how well it would work in an LP. That Pryzm, on the other hand, looks completely and utterly ridiculous. That one gets my vote.

    I think he was just sharing his enjoyment of the game for the hell of it. While it might be a fun game to play, I didn't find it terribly interesting to watch. So I agree with you.

    What do you mean, terrible? And besides, somebody has to play these games.

    It's looking like Pryzm, oh maaaaaan :D

    As for people asking about Jaws being open ended, you can just go around and be a huge dickshark if you want while slaughtering people, but there are actual levels with objectives.

    I wouldn't do an LP of Bladestorm most likely because it seems very, very long and would probably tire most people to watch because it's just not a very watchable game.

    Seems like it would make a pretty boring LP, the only good thing would be Yakety Giants. Any reason why you think it would be good?

    Although.. maybe something more popular might draw the attention of the youtube crowd and then I can sucker 'em in with niche games?! fmz, you sly dog

    Killer 7 may be a good choice as well because the Let's Play on Youtube is ass quality.

    Failing another guess, my vote's for either Silpheed or maybe Devil May Cry 3.
