You have a huge collection?  I have 80 retail 360 games and 60 XBLA.  How about you?

Cool, if I had gotten through this thread without seeing that someone had ripped on that guy, I would of had to do it myself...now I don't =P

The only drawback to the combat, for me, was the random nature of the parry executions.  It should just be hit any button to do any execution, similar to Gears of War 2, instead of just a random button flashing up.  The random button minigame, while it was cool and all after God of War came out, has been done a bit too much and we can dial back on it now.

I don't believe they were random. I think it had a lot to do with where in the enemy's swing you actually parried. Performing a parry earlier in the swing would actually get one button to flash, while performing one later in the enemy's swing would get you another. At least that's what I thought I read somewhere.

It always seemed to me that it had to do with where the enemy was attacking from. From in front, Y. From the right, B. From the left, X. From behind, random. I could be wrong though, been a while since I played it.

It's good to see  a thread like this and that people are starting to realize how darn good this game can be. I loved it from day one, but I've always loved Conan stuff. Too bad that the game pretty much got trashed in reviews simply because it wasn't God of War. Best hack n slash I've ever played!

What's your fav move/s? Mine is the parry move where he ducks under an enemies swing, circles behind him while grabbing his head, and spins off him while cutting it off. Smooth, calm, slick....Conan!

i agree i am loving this game to death. technically the game doesn't do anything to break new ground, but it is one of the most fun and satisfying games i ever played. this game really deserves another sequel.

I agree about the game being better than the reviews i just whish it would have had more of known hyborian lands. Stygia, Kush, and Argos are okay but instead of the islands I would have rather seen some more of the kingdoms inland or some of the barbarians (Picts, etc)

But as a long time Conan fan the game gets the atmosphere right.

man i loved this game just the amount of action and gore made it even more sweet tho the last boss made me chuck a few tantrums lol other than that i think there should be a sequel fans of the game deserve it

thinking of getting this game from gamestop looks alot better than viking.

definately! the rescued maiden dialogues are a good laugh too

Agreed!  This game is loads of fun, very entertaining.  I really hope they do a sequel sometime.  I just got it a few days ago on the cheap (under $10) and love it.  The maiden sayings are really funny too "Take me and crush me with your love!", "Where are my clothes?", coupled with those ridiculous stripper-poses they make when you save them.  Funny stuff.  My sister came in when I was saving a maiden once and she shouted out "Crush me with your love!" and she just busted out laughing, so did I, then I went off to save some more "pole dancers in distress".  Like I said, funny stuff.

The game looks entertaining but I think I'll wait for the price to go down just a smidge more.

You can get it for $10 or less these days, how much more could it possibly go down?

Played this game from my backlog & kinda surprised this game is getting so much love here.  Have any of you played the God of War games? This game is basically a cheap & blatant ripoff that doesn't copy anything right.

Bad camera angles, bad platforming, cheap CHEAP enemies (the lions & captains to name a few), really bad boss battles & the general mechanics of the game.
You can't even carry your stats/move lists over in another playthrough despite it being impossible to unlock them all in one run, LAME.

I liked the lions, I thought the animations on them were cool.  It's not often you get to skewer a cat in a video game.  Plus, come on, naked maidens.......naked maidens!

The new Sony Commercial. Better than PlayStation: My First Sony

Picked it up from EB games for $9 have to say this is probably one of my favorite games. I like this type of hack & slash game bloody and gory just the way Conan was ment to be.

Just tried the demo and I have to say I want it.

I am off to see if I can find it anywhere now.

Not sure why a lot of people disliked Blue Dragon as it's really good.

Yeah it's a lot of fun.  You can probably find it for around $10 online or at a store somewhere.  The only thing that annoys me sometimes are the boss fights, they're a real pain on the harder difficulty settings.  But it's a fun hack and slash to pick up and play every now and then.
