Should I buy Dark Cloud?
 

I know a lot of bad has been said about this game, but I wonder...is it really that bad? I'm buying a new game today and there's TM Black and Dark Cloud to choose from (I can't afford anything but a GH game). I just bought GT3 and ATV OF, so the thought of another driving type game is not too appealing at this time. Gamespot gave it an 8.1 and the screens look pretty good. What other games would you compare it to?

First off... LMFAO at your new sig, man. Hilarious. :laugh:

Second.. I've actually heard alot of good things about Dark Cloud. One heretic actually said it was better than final fantasy, but I think the only one he'd ever played was 9, so it's forgiveable I think... Anyway. I've only played snippets of it, but those snippets were pretty cool.

Were I in your shoes I'd go with Dark Cloud, but of course that's just because of my personal preference of.. well, pretty much any PS2 game over twisted metal. Never have liked them. :D

Dark Cloud isn't worth your $20 man. I spit on Dark Cloud because it's SO TERRIBLE. I just have really strong feelings toward it. Twisted Metal Black is a much much much better buy :)


I hate it when people compare Dark Cloud to Zelda, first off because it's nothing like it (or atleast a terrible attempt at creating a Zelda like world.

Well I have one pro and one con. Ok I've never played Zelda so I won't compare. Could you give me some reasons as to why you hate it so much? TMB is a great game and I'm going to get it, but I don't want another car game right now. I'm in the mood for an adventure game.

the action is very lame and boring... it's all the same, and all the dungeons will remind you of the one before. very repetitive! The controls, in my mind, really aren't that great... everytime you go into a dungeon, you'll need to go find water, and keep on going back to get water every few seconds! it's so tedious! The only cool part is that you can rebuild your town the way you want to... It just really sucks.

Like Merc said, each dungeon looks the same. Each dungeon has a bunch of one level floors that are just a bunch of rooms connected to eachother so it's really plain. You have to find pieces of villages in it, like you find an orb and when you open it you'll find a door, you take that door and add it to your village that your trying to rebuild. I know that's confusing but it's pretty cool. But Dark Cloud's gameplay is so horrible and repetitive! Some dungeons have over 100 floors I heard...but hey yopu might like it, but i'd rent it first

Hmmm..I watched some movies and I think you guys are right. I'll pass on the Dark Cloud.

I'm sure there are more adventure games out there that you've yet to play...

Oh there is.....only they don't have that nice Greatest Hits pricetag.

Well as luck would have it, Red Faction has gone GH. So I bought that. ;)

Red Faction went GH? *runs out to buy it*

Sweet!! red Faction went GH?!! It's one of the best FPS (gulp) of all time :)

I love it. BTW how does Half Life compare to it? I've been eyeing that too.

Dark clous is an amazing game if you like RPGS.
The only BIG problm about it is that the game is very repetative.

Collect town pieces - fight - build town
Collect town pieces - fight - build town
Collect town pieces - fight - build town
Collect town pieces - fight - build town

I got pretty far but in the end i just stopped playing it because i got sooo bored.

i dont recomend you buy it.
You can buy mine for $10 :p
