当時クリア(全実績解除)までやりました。 クリアしたけど赤レア出るまでやる。 コメント見てますがゲーム中は返信しにくくて・・。 とりあえず返信はここに書いときます。 ・Dの食卓 >サターン版を持ってた気がします。 ヘイロー3、ギアーズオブウォーに次ぐXBOXの大作ですよ的な感じて発売された。 (が、たぶんそんなには売れてない) そうとう遊び倒したゲームで総プレイ時間は3000時間を越えてると思う。 このゲームの素晴らしいポイントは『最高レアリティのアイテムを入手した時の効果音がメッチャいい』 他のゲームでも入手困難な装備品(大村正とか)を手に入れられた時はうれしいけど効果音によって特別感と荘厳さも感じられるのは本作ぐらいかな。 右スティックを倒して攻撃するという独特の操作方法だが次々と敵を倒すコンボと無双感、ルイナーというゲージを消費しての範囲攻撃もエフェクトがカッコよくて好き(特にヒューマン属性の時) 悪い点はハクスラ的要素もあるのに無駄に歩かされるような「だれる場面」が結構ある事。 次回候補:ミラーズエッジ、アーミーオブツー、デッドライジング ・過去配信したタイトル名と個人的お気に入り度 【PS2】 ・歸らずの森(4) ・絶対絶命都市(5) ・バイオハザード(5) ・バイオハザード2(5) 【XBOX360】 ・ヴァンパイアレイン:(3)惜しい ・エルダースクロールズ4:オブリビオン(5) ・エルダースクロールズ5:スカイリム(5) ・ギアーズ オ ブウォー(5) ・ギアーズ オブ ウォー2(4)規制がなければ5 ・コンデムド サイコクライム(4) ・セイクリッド2(4) ・テストドライブ アンリミテッド(5) ・トゥーワールド2(3)意欲作なのは十分感じられれるが、なぜかそんなには面白くない。 ・デッドアイランド(4) ・フォールアウト3(5) ・ヘイロー3 ODST(4) ・ボーダーランズ(4) ・レッド シーズ プロファイル(5)遊びつくした。
