 Send to email | Games Have Endings Too, You Know [Night Note] in night note Note |  By Luke Plunkett
el 13-Jun-2008 | To: Crecente
From: Luke
RE: Dad Buys PS3, MGS4 His first PS3 game is Metal Gear Solid 4? Yeah. Good luck with that. So I finished GTA IV today! Was really, really disappointed with it. "It" being the last 1/3 of the game, in particular the last mission. Whole thing just kinda petered out, fell flat, couldn't find anything else interesting to do or say with the characters, missions or the story. It's something I'm noticing more and more often in games - they wow you in the opening act, but by the end have run out of steam (see BioShock for reference), and you wind things up on a downer, thinking less of the game at the conclusion than you did at the beginning. So developers! If you can, try not to blow your whole load on the first 1/3 of a game. Some of us like to actually finish a game, and like to finish it on a high (see Call of Duty 4 for reference)! Here's what you missed:
Nyko's Wireless Nunchuk Attracts Nintendo Lawsuit
Do We Have Our First Rock Band II Artist?
Gunmetal PS3: The Unboxing
Robbie Bach: PSP Is A "Cautionary Tale"
Next Rock Band Album: The Pixies
Shane Kim: Japan's A "Long-Term", "Challenging" Market

| Why Game Endings Suck... I Think [Day Note] | | To: Luke From: Brian Re: Games Have Endings Too, You Know You're totally right, GTA IV's ending did sort of fizzle on some level, though I don't know if I'd agree that the last third was bad. I'd say more like the last hour was flat. Here's the problem as I see it. I think game designers and developers are following the tradition story-telling model set by books. There's a be [..] Read complete article | | Published 13-Jun-2008 by Brian Crecente in day note Note

Re: This Is Not My Night Note, It's Yours.
Ha! That whole handing the readers control of the Night Note thing was hilarious!
Don't ever do that again. I know things I shouldn't know now. Kinburn had chicken caesar salad for dinner, and then played Metal Gear Solid 2 - which incidentally I am about to begin playing now. [..] Read complete article | | Published 15-Apr-2008 by Mike Fahey in day note

| Kotaku Originals: About Last Night ... [Kotaku Originals] | | So that thank-you note thing was weird. Yeah, it's a nice gesture, but the wording and the tone, I dunno ... it reads like the kind of apologetic, elephant-in-the-room e-mail a guy would write to a woman he disappointed with lousy sex the night before.

RE: Was There An Earthquake Last Night?
Due to a family disturbance late in the evening, I wound up getting approximately -3 hours of sleep last night. Not quite sure how that is possible, but that's what happened. At this point I'm too tired to even go to sleep, if that makes any sense. All I want to do is sit here in this chair [..] Read complete article | | Published 17-Apr-2008 by Mike Fahey in day note

RE: Too Much Cake
So last night (after a panic attack, mind you), I woke up at around 3am and the entire apartment was shaking. Felt like an earthquake, — though I didn't really see anything about it in the news. Then again, I didn't check.
I've only been in a few minor quakes here, and they were enough to give me [..] Read complete article | | Published 17-Apr-2008 by Brian Ashcraft in night noteNote
