Folklore

[dante]

Folklore is hands down the most underrated game on the PS3.  Everything about this game is good, sans the occasional control problems. The music is wonderful, the environments are diverse and colorful, the plot is intriguing (albeit a tad confusing), and the characters are well-rounded and fun to play as.

I'm the type that is willing to go back to a game and play it simply because I love to explore the environments, and this is one of the games I find myself returning to time and time again just to wander.

Has anyone else played it?

I haven’t heard of it, what’s it about?

Folklore is the body of expressive culture, including tales, music, dance, legends, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs, customs, and so forth within a particular population comprising the traditions (including oral traditions) of that culture, subculture, or group. It is also the set of practices through which those expressive genres are shared. The academic and usually ethnographic study of folklore is sometimes called folkloristics. The word 'folklore' was first used by the English antiquarian William Thoms in a letter published by the London Journal Athenaeum in 1846. In usage, there is a continuum between folklore and mythology. Stith Thompson made a major attempt to index the motifs of both folklore and mythology, providing at outline into which new motifs can be placed, and scholars can keep track of all older motifs.

That is perhaps the most educational spam I have ever seen.

Anywho, Folklore is about a girl and a journalist who are both led to a village for different reasons. The journalist writes for a fringe magazine and travels there because he receives a call from a woman who tells him to hurry because Faerys were trying to kill her. The girl receives a letter from her mother asking her to meet there.

Very Silent Hill-ish in the whole two people drawn to a spooky town. Also, the lead designer is the same one who worked on Resident Evil: Yoshiki Okamoto.

I haven't played it in a while, so this is a bit of a vague description. Very fun, though! And on track to become rare.

it's obvious that the spammer had no idea what topic he/she was posting in, since it had nothing to do with the game .
