I just found out about this free MMORPG called The Endless Forest (http://www.tale-of-tales.com/TheEndlessForest/). Basically, you’re a deer. There are no directives–all you do is run around, communicate in body language, and cast spells. It’s a peaceful, relaxing environment.

There is no text for communication and identifying players, so players are identified with symbols between their antlers. Here is mine, should any of you want to join in:

Hey there Iceberg =)

To begin with I found it pretty slow moving for the first few hours of playing, but am now really enjoying it. Have to admit I’m a little disappointed that some of the worlds aren’t bigger than in the first game i.e. Atlantica, Agrabah, and there were times I felt like pulling my hair out when trying to get through the Dermyx boss fight (lol) – but overall I’ve had alot of fun with the game so far. Am now at the point when I’m visiting Port Royal for the second time.

Sounds like your wife’s made a fair amount of progress. How far into the game is she?

How have you been?

You see what happened was I bought the game and started playing the game myself. She loved watching me play and when I stopped she always asked me "what happened?" "Keep playing!!? She eventually got tired of waiting on me and took over my save file lol. She actually beat the game a while back and shes currently playing part 1.

Not been bad thanks. =)

lol I’m a bit like that myself. In fact that’s how I got into the Final Fantasy games. I started off watching my brother playing a couple of them back when I was in my teens, and then in the end couldn’t resist the urge to swipe them off him hehe. No doubt I’ll end up doing the same thing when he ends up getting hold of FF12.

I’m very much looking forward to completing KH2. I really like the story line from the original game, but so far the plot to this one seems to have more twists and turns along the way. I’m finding it just that little bit more intriguing.

When I take a break from those, I’m fooling around with Disgaea 2, Shadow Hearts Covenant, Suikoden III, VP2: Silmeria, Romance of the Three Kingdoms X, and various other RPGs… Also waiting on Raiden III to hit stores…man I miss the Raiden games so much

I’d recommend finishing XII so you could see the ending. The scenes on the Pharos are just as great.

Then you could focus on Episode III. Actually, I’ve seen some of its cutscenes and gameplay (I’ve only played a bit of Ep. I and didn’t feel like playing through II and III. Didn’t like it too much anyway) and I thought it looked good, although the cutscenes were a bit confusing for me. xD

If you want to get on with Xenosaga, then yes. Personally, I prefer not to do everything in a game all at once, but if you don’t mind that then go for it.

I’ve also never finished DDS. Never really liked it that much, and the fact that you have to buy the second game for the full story made me think "Better put this away until I’m absolutely sure I wanna go through all of this.". Nocturne on the other hand… was awesome.

I just picked up a used copy of DooM 3 for Xbox. It’s frickin’ awesome, though I admit I expected it to be a little more fun like Ultimate DooM and DooM II. I think they did a good job combining Quake elements with DooM to make this new game. I must complain though, those fireball-throwing imps are really getting on my nerves; they are the only enemies that I don’t like whereas all the others are either threatening or give me easy kills. They were a pain to deal with in the original games but in this new one, I just hate them. >(

I’ve also been playing Tomb Raider: Anniversary Edition (downloaded via torrent for pc), and I must say, it’s a great remake of the very first Tomb Raider (which I still have and is the only one I finished, lolz). Once I get tired of blowing people’s heads off with a scoped Springfield ’03, I play Tomb Raider to chill out with less violence. Most of the time, the violence in TR consists of you shooting a berserk wild animal to death while perched atop a high ledge or something. Oh, and the T-Rex battle was much fun, though I don’t remember how that went about in the original game. (I think I was sitting in some safe place while I pistol it to death, lolz) The rest of the game consists of fun (sometimes a bit, er, exotic) puzzles and obstacle courses to conquer.

I recommend both games to anyone of y’all.

Remember that game I hate, called Kingdom Hearts? Well, I decided to give it another chance.

Re-started last night, maybe the night before. Good news: the Gameshark codes work, and I should be able to make short work of it.

Game’s even more lax on cut scenes/voice-overs than I remember (Number #1 reason it turned me off at first, seemed like a downgrade, after the voice-over/cut scene heavy FFX); taking "Wonderland" as an example, you only get voiced-over scenes when you drop in, talk to the doorknob, and then seeing the Queen of Hearts jailing Alice, but the climax to this little story isn’t voiced-over. If made a sequential VHS recording of all cinema scenes in the game, it would just be a sideshow of Sora looking in on a bunch of Disney characters; that is, until the end.

When you fight Squall/Leon, there’s something cool I never noticed before: he paces to the left and right of you, stalking you like a LION! Makes sense, right? He’s so awexome…

I guess it’s a good hack n’ slash, but the plot’s nothing, which is what turned me off initially. The battle menu interface is still clunky; they could’ve given better options to be able to choose items, but at least there’s a shortcut menu for magic. Healing’s still difficult, unless you’re using magic.

I’m also playing Devil May Cry 3…playing multiple games simultaneously as usual. Definitely the best of the series; it’s good when sequels improve. Plenty of different moves and options, if only I could remember them all, and then make use of them.

It’s also good how you’re rewarded with a cut scene at the beginning and end of every mission, and there hasn’t packed either comedy or suspense. Dante actually has some decent one-liners, and his sort of carefree, yet badassittude is actually rather endearing.

Vergil and Arkham are another sort of badass, and Jester’s all sorts of Chesire Cat…dancing away while getting shot at!

Only thing I don’t like, is how they give Dante a younger-sounding voice; the gruff-sounding Dante in the first two was better.

Gameshark codes don’t seem to work for this one, so I’m going to be playing it the old-fashioned way. The first two boss battles are rather well-designed; there’s actually some strategy to them, aside from aimlessly hack n’ slashing away at them.

Suikoden IV’s pretty retro, y’know?

I’m enjoying the game’s islandic atmosphere, kind of reminds me of Phantom Brave, or even earlier, Chrono Cross. Ahh, until I’m able to vacation in the islands all the time, I guess these will just have to do…

RUNNING: (Groan) I knew it was going to take forever to walk anywhere…until I re-discovered the R1 button! Knowing this probably cut my potential gameplay time in half! We’re back to holding down a button just to run? Pretty retro, man. At least the game doesn’t insist on re-creating every humanly correct nuance of walking, like in FFVII~X; took forever to walk anywhere in those games, with the first two being the worst.

SAILING: I’d heard the sailing in this game was a pain, and at first it was fine, but trying to come in range to dock could be a annoying, especially since your ship insists on u-turning every time you hit an invisible wall. I’ve always thought it would be cool if an RPG re-created accurate vehicle movement…until now. Come to think of it, imagine having to land one of the FF airships like you would an airplane, and if you hit some place where you couldn’t land, you’d end up just going back up into the sky, and having to try again? And, holding down R1 is simply mandatory to make your ship move ANYWHERE.

MAP: It’s. So. BIG. I shouldn’t have to scroll up and down to see the whole map when I open it; why, there’s nothing north of Iluya, anyway! And what are those larger land masses to the west and north? You don’t even get to visit them!

OBJECTIVES: Just like any retro RPG, objectives aren’t always stated clearly. Most of the time, you’re left checking your world map for a blue arrow pointing at the island you’re supposed to go to next. Oh well, the game’s at least open-ended enough without coming out and say, “I’M AN OPEN-ENDED GAME!!” Of course, you’d probably expect an open-ended game when the map’s simply a wide-open ocean with a bunch of islands plunked down in it, and you’re allowed to sail back and forth between all of them.

VOICE-OVERS: This would have to be one of the most unevenly voiced-over games ever. Some scenes that are important enough to the central plot to be voiced-over aren’t, while other things, like mini-games ARE voiced over! It’s not important to hear my team deliberating with the king of Obel, or to hear the Imperial conferences voiced over, but I have to listen to Rita, and her squeaky-ass voice shouting “Okay!” “Alright!” “You’re not gonna beat me!” “I’m getting good at this!” “Oh no!” “I lost!”

NAVAL BATTLES: Despite being pretty basic turn-based strategy, trump your enemies’ shots with opposing Runes, the naval battles were probably the most enjoyable part of the game. I hope Suikoden Tactics turns out this well.

DUELS: These, too, were an interesting take on rock, paper, scissors.

BATTLE: The basic battle system was actually nice, and leveling-up was a breeze…for awhile. And then they kept coming, and coming, and coming…every other step I took! Which brings me to my next point:

DUNGEONS: The dungeons in this game are short, and there aren’t very many of them, either. And when dungeons are short, you’d better believe their only reinforcement left is having enemy encounters every other step. Man, they need to recruit professional architects to get decent dungeon designs anymore. When was the last time that an RPG claimed to have awexome dungeon designs? It’s gotten so bad these days, that it wouldn’t be embarrassing to proclaim on the back of the packaging: “AWEXOME DUNGEON DESIGNS BY PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTS.”

Besides encounters occurring every other step, they put enemy encounters in some pretty strange places, even in the middle of towns! (See: Na-Nal Town Square; can’t even walk through there without getting attacked by killer bees?!)

RECRUITING: “Hi, I’d like to join your party!” “Do/fetch this for me, and I’ll join your party!” “Hey, let’s fight! Oh no, I lost, I’ll join your party.” Wow, when was the last time you met this many people who wanted to hang around you? Most, if any of them, have little or nothing to do with you, let alone any back stories, yet they all want to get onto your ship…or into your pants. Or boy shorts. Whatever. I know it’s a staple of the Suikoden series, but I’ve gotten over it. What’s a pain is when you reach a certain point in the game, and you’re not able to recruit a certain character anymore. Hmm, when was the last time you played a game based in the islands, in which you could recruit millions of insignificant characters? Chrono Cross, anyone?

BALLOON STATUS AILMENT: Okay, it was funny the first time, in Secret of Mana. I walk into a cave, a bat flashes a bunch of different colors, and all of a sudden, I have a helium balloon tethered to my head, and I’m immobilized (why would having a helium balloon tethered to your head immobilize you?) But in Suikoden? I thought this game was supposed to serious! Last time I checked, Suikoden was based in medieval times; they wouldn’t even have the rubber or plastic to make a helium balloon, let alone the helium gas! WTF? Most of the time it gets cast on you, it doesn’t even make sense! A rodent or wolf runs up and bites you, and suddenly you have a helium balloon tethered to your head! And once it’s tethered to your head, you can’t just puncture it with your weapon, no, you need a needle to puncture it! (Because it’s a MAGICAL helium balloon that can only be punctured by a MAGICAL needle!)

SOUNDTRACK: By far, the best part of the game. Glad to hear that a number of the traditional Suikoden themes return for newer renditions.

Despite several gripes, I’m actually enjoying the game, other than the plot, naval battles and duels, things like the confessional and hot springs baths provide insight into some of the characters, or at least result in humorous dialogue, making use of some of the otherwise insignificant characters. Still, I’m going to be glad once I finish this game, especially with the special ending, and finally put this on the sale shelf. Whew, I think I’m ready for Suikoden Tactics. After that, Suikoden V. And, hopefully, sometime in the near future, Suikoden VI?


beat
09-04-2007, 03:34 PM
IV was the worst Suikoden by far, but I played it and somehow enjoyed it. My major gripe with the game were the random battles that occured when you were sailing your ship. And sometimes you were left without any sense of direction when it comes to going where you are suppose to go. Also the main characters were of the very ghey variety.

But man…once you play Suikoden V. You’ll be like "Psh. Suikoden IV? What’s that?" I assume you played the first 2, right? Cuz those are classics especially 2. Suikoden 3 wasn’t so bad either.

Hahaha…for me to be as positive about Suikoden IV as I am, you can assume that I’ve never played a previous Suikoden, and you’d be right.

Although, I’ve played about 3 hours into Suikoden III, until I deemed it boring; just walking around took too much time, and was very stinted. Also, selecting battle commands for two characters at a time was just ridiculous.

I’ve only played about 1-2 hours in Suikoden V, and I’ll say it’s easily better than Suikoden IV just based on that; the English voice-overs are pretty good, the music is awexome, and the plot especially promises to be explosive.

Heavenly Sword!

Best damn game I’ve played all year! Music, acting, voices, game play, graphics, story, etc. Only reason why it’s getting bad reviews is because it’s short. However, it’s no shorter then God of War. I will be playing this again after I’m finished. This game almost made me forget the reason why I purchased a PS3 was for Final Fantasy XIII. This is now going down as now one of my top 5 favorite games of all time…

Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy Tactics
Heavenly Sword
Mega Man 3
Super Metroid

I haven’t gamed in quite a while, but usually I come back to my three favorites: SH2, Spyro the Dragon and Morrowind. I love big, creative worlds to explore (by myself; I don’t do those MMORPG monstrosities). I love being scared and disturbed out of my wits, and also being inspired for art of my own (which often goes hand-in-hand with scared and disturbed part).

I also play Twisted Metal 2 and Black, Treasures of the Deep and a good game of any of the recent Dynasty Warriors. But as for War of the Monsters, I think I scared all my friends away. Kineticlops…just owns. Get over it.

JPOG is a great game; one of my favorite sim-type games. Have you gotten to any of the missions that involve sniping dinos from the helicopter?

Or, alternatively, have you played Chaos Island, the JP RTS?

Well, when I game, the point is to escape from the real world and indulge in a beautifully-rendered virtual world. I don’t want the kinds of people that bother me in real life following me around in my game world. I tried them, don’t like them…I stick to an immersing single-player experience.

Thanks. It’s not that I don’t respect MMORPGs and online games as valid art. I certainly do. But, as far as my personal tastes are concerned, they’re just not my bag.

But back on the topic of the thread: may I add that I’ve been begging my mom to send my Silent Hill collection out to me. I’ve beginning to have withdrawal symptoms.

And PS: I have been trying to beat "Bad Mojo Redux." It’s an ingenious game where you play as a cockroach. Anyone heard of it?

Valid point. I’ll settle for that. i sometimes prefer to just play a game on my own. especially the .hack series. (simulated MMORPG for those who don’t know) lol. but i spose i just like the interaction in online games.

What’s your opinion about it?

Ace Combat 6 : Fires of Liberation is actually my first foray into the Ace Combat series, so I can’t really compare it to any of the others. I downloaded the trailer and demo for it off of Xbox Live around May 2007, and straight away I enjoyed it.

If you enjoy air combat style gameplay (I’ve only played space combat sims – X-wing, TIE Fighter, Wing Commander series, Renegade : Battle for Jacob’s Star, etc.), then I’d say give it a shot and see what you think. It is a solid combat game and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a good game.

I’m still going on in FFXII since I got it at Christmas. I’m 49 hrs in and I’m just finished Frans story in the viera village. It’s seriously awesome. I’m absolutely loving the combat and the hunts.

Also, started Mass Effect. It’s alright but I fell asleep during the first mission. I think I’ll leave it until I’ve finished FFXII. I can never get my head around more than one game at once.

The story is captivating, the gameplay is classic J-RPG and the soundtrack is pretty good so I enjoy it plenty so far…

Yeah it’s been fun so far. Just a slight different battle system than the very first (like you actually have to use the magics in the battle to upgrade them), but it’s been cool so far.

Wow, I forgot how great this game was. Glad I decided to dust it off and have another go at it.

On my first play through I chose the dark side, so this time I’m walking the super holy path of light. *angelic chorus*

I’ve found that being a Dark Jedi is a lot more fun (and comical) but the light side isn’t without it’s perks. It’s more challenging/rewarding and you get a bunch of hilarious flirty conversations with Carth.

Awesome. :3

TF2 = Team Fortress 2, it’s a class based FPS with different maps and modes. The console version (360 and PS3) only has 5 maps. The PC version has the original 5 along with many user created maps, mods, and character voice commands.

Granted Valve says they are goind to release a new map, Goldrush, in the Spring sometime.

Holy hell, I was tempted to on some missions. Like in one, I was covered on a wall corner and this fat fuck with a mini SMG came at me and I had forgot to reload my weapon so I got 2 shots off and he smacked me while reloading then riddled me with bullet holes.

Mass Effect is a masterpiece of science fiction interactivity.

The gameplay is varied and fun, the story is great, the visuals are great, although there are many flaws inherent to the 360 capabilities (textures pop-ins and slow downs for example) the voice acting is spot on with lips sinc, etc…

It’s a real golden piece of WRPG. It’ll be available for the PC soon, with many of the small flaws fixed, so I suggest you get your hand on the game by then, if you have a PC powerful enough to run current gen games.

No. Bland story. Boring combat (play Legends of Dragoon or DDR). Shit voice acting. And fucking Rug Rats. Let’s just face it, it’s awful, but gets your nostalgia glands going for other shitty games, like FFX.

To ACT V of MGS4 and it’s a serious disappointment. Act III’s tracking mission and motorcycle chase were ace, the game went downhill from there. And the writers have no damn clue how to make an audience care about their story.

Last game I was playing anyway..if it hasn’t been said here already yet, it’s better than the first FFTA in gamespeed and looks. It’s just barely below the enjoyment level of an RPG or first person shooter.

Probably would be the last thing some people would play when they have to wait their turn against a computer.

Help me here… please.

I finished all the games I had purchased in the last few months, and now I want to buy a new one. But I can’t decide between Fable 2 and Fallout 3.

Both games got great reviews everywhere, and both have completely different ambiances. Fable 2 is more lighthearted and has an enchanting world of the kind I really enjoy. While Fallout 3 has a unique mood and a supposedly great story with character interaction similar to those in Mass Effect, which I think is a neat approach.

Seriously, I can’t afford the 2 of them this week, and tomorrow morning I’m going to go get one of them….

Can you help me decide which one?

Thanks.

(So yeah, I’ll soon be currently playing one of these two games. ๐Ÿ˜› )

Based on the reviews I read, here are your choices.

Fable 2: is a much improved version of the first game. The choices you make have an effect down the road that is unforeseen and believable.

Fallout 3: Is basically Oblivion in a post-apocalyptic world with guns. It has some of the Fallout themes, but it’s not like the past games.

If I had to choose, I’d get Fallout 3. I haven’t played Oblivion, so I don’t care about the comparisons. Fable 2 is too Euro-raunchy for my taste. (meaning it has a lot of dirty British humor)


Prak
10-31-2008, 01:35 PM
I’ll get my grubby paws on Fallout 3 soon enough, but Fable 2 has my attention at the moment. For the most part, I like it a lot. Oh, there are a few piddling little issues here and there, but nothing that badly detracts from the experience.

…I take that back. There is one major issue. One horrendous issue.

When I play a 3rd person game, if it gives me a choice, I always choose a female character. The reason is that I figure if I’m going to spend 20+ hours staring at a character’s backside, I don’t want it to be man-ass. But with Fable 2, while this plan started out well enough, a problem soon appeared. As I built up the strength stats of my moderately attractive female character, she transformed into a steroid-enhanced Bride of Frankenstein. Now I either have to find a way to live with this horror or roll a male character to complete the game at the risk of discovering the dreaded inner poofter.

Fallout 3 is here…

…and it feels a lot like a glorified mod of Oblivion, which it probably is, technically. But the story is thus far, more personal than an Elder Scrolls. I’ve only just arrived in the wastes, but the Vault 101 story really set the tone for my character’s determination. Good job so far. I’d definitely recommend.

I finally went for Fable 2 over Fallout 3.

Not really by choice mind you. I went to the local stores here and the only Fallout 3 they had was the French version. And I didn’t want to take the chance to get a poorly acted version of the game. The store rep told me they would receive more copies of the English version in like a week, but I didn’t want to wait that long so I went for my second choice.

I think it’s a good thing though. Since Fallout 3 got even better reviews and most people already playing it here have been saying many great things about it. Fable 2 is a bit more of the same when compared to its predecessor, but with much more refinement, better controls, and more choices (Albion is also a sight to behold with that much details! Even if a more constant framerate would have been welcome).

So far I’m having a blast, even if I prefer when a game have a deeper narrative.

My guess is that I’ll find that in Fallout 3.

So in the end, I chose the shorter, less engaging game first, then I’ll attack the bigger beast.

First, everyone knows the original 60gb and 20gb PS3s had the actual hardware necessary to play PS2 games, known as the Emotion Engine. The PS2 components were removed due to high production cost and now all PS3s emulate PS2 games. Since when has emulation been perfect?

Your comment needs correction Swami.

The old 40 gb PS3 and the current 80 gb PS3 don’t allow any backward compatibility. Be it hardware or emulation.

And yeah… The best PS3 ever was the original 60 gb version. I can’t even upscale my PS2 games using the PS3 since mine doesn’t have any backward compatibility. So it looks "muddy" on my 1080p set. -_-

Nope, its working fine now and I’m much farther in abyss, and no I cannot because the other tv won’t accept my PS2. Nextly, have a PS3 that is compatible with MOST PS2 games (i.e. I beat dirge of the cerberus with it, had some minor running issues though) and it may be a controller glitch since everything else besides my character was working.

It’s been a while since I played a Street Fighter game… I still play some Alpha 3 from time to time, but in a casual way since I have nobody to play against (none of my friends, except for one that I don’t see as often as I used to, are into that kind of game…) so I enjoy the difficulty of that remake. There are so many things that I’m used to that aren’t present in this older game, like air block and many juggle moves that aren’t present anymore.

I have to adapt myself greatly since it’s a throw back to an older age, even if it’s been updated. I’m considering getting a Gold membership to compete online. If you have the game, feel free to add me. My nick is the same on Live.

Right now i’m stuck between the worlds of Team Fortress 2, Kingdom Hearts and Tenchu Wrath of Heaven.

I honestly left off on WoH a while ago because of interests in other games. AND THAT THE TRAP CASTLE CAN KISS MY ASS. I just started playing it again last night and started to remember how much i hated that stage so much. Dodge so many traps and super strong enemies only to fall through a fucking randomly placed trap floor. There is no way to ever see them coming because they are never in the same place. That game deserves it’s M rating. Not so much for the blood and killing, but the fact that if any CHILD lacking patience was playing this game they’d commit suicide.

I recommend it to everyone here.

I have that for the PS3. I played the first bit. Up to when you leave the temple and start the main game.

The camera seemed really bad. It was frustrating at times. Though I love the idea of it being an open world game. And i am a huge fan of the PoP games. I like the way the Prince is too, he seems like a much more likeable character than in the other games. I’ll probably get into it after i’m done with other stuff. But it’s nice to know i have something to look forward to when i’m done.

Currently playing; Dead Space, LittleBigPlanet, Fallout 3, COD: WaW and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift.

I’ve been playing quite a lot of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for the DS. I wanted to get 100% completion or so, but that was before I realized that there were medals you could only get if you beat a boss without taking a hit, and I’m not up for doing that. I’m in Dracula’s castle now, just a bit after killing the Wallman boss.

I’ve also been playing a lot of two Neo Geo games via the NeoDS emulator on my DS flash cart, Nightmare in the Dark and Neo Mr. Do. Both are simple, fun arcade games that are kinda similar to other games, but have their own charm.

Nightmare in the Dark is kinda like the Snow Bros. or Bubble Bobble, but with a monster theme and more power ups, and Neo Mr. Do is an update to an old arcade game that’s similar to Dig Dug. Both are a lot of fun, and good way to waste a bit of time.

Really, I’ve got a lot of games to play for awhile, as I’ve built up quite the backlog and I’ve promised myself not to buy any more games until the list of games I own but haven’t beaten gets smaller.

Indeed.

I played 20 minutes of Underworld and turned it off. The controls made me want to kill myself.

Playing COD4, COD5 and still Mirror’s Edge speedruns etc.

I loved Uncharted : Drake’s Fortune. But i beat it over the course of a weekend. So i’m left with the replays to unlock the extra stuff.

I started playing Prince Of Persia on PS3 today. I have to say it’s pretty impressive. The enviroments look and sound beautiful, and the characters have been done creatively. The dialogue is funny. And the addition of Nathan Drake’s voice for the Prince makes the conversation all the more enjoyable.

I can see this game taking up quite a large chunk of my time.

Oh, strangely enough, I started playing Assasin’s Creed last night, but after 30 minutes I got bored and turned it off. Perhaps I didn’t give it a good enough chance; I was tired and it was 5am, so my patience was thin. But it didn’t give the me first impression that Prince Of Persia has.

I just spent a good hour on that cunt ๐Ÿ˜ก

First off, use the explosive containers. Knock ’em over, blow ’em up. Then, grab the flamethrower. Aim for his arm, back up, do it again. He’ll stand up, wind up his arm, and fling. That’s why you want to back off. When you’ve hit him in his arms enough he’ll bend over and two balls on stalks will come out of his back. Get up next to him and flame the shit outta them.

Rinse and repeat. There’s two first aid sprays and a green herb in the room on normal. This game is way to kind about supplies during boss fights, imo ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Just beat Pokemon Platinum and i’m getting back into Tenchu 2 since i almost broke the disk for Tenchu Fatal Shadows in half last night.

They should call that game "Tenchu Throw your controller at a fucking wall" since the control response would be no different than if you were throwing it around like a tard or actually trying to play it seriously. Enemies stealth kill YOU when YOU’RE sneaking up behind them. *LOGIC FUCK!* Normal civilians JUMP UP ON ROOF TOPS while just walking around villages, Enemies SEE THROUGH WALLS "It’s a glitch and i tested it to actually see if it was the case and it is". Enemies look up at roof tops…For no reason. Why even bother blocking? Because ANY enemy can INSTANT KILL YOU at ANY TIME. Stealth kills are delayed and enemies through out the WHOLE STAGE are alerted when just ONE person sees you and then they all cluster fuck around you making you pretty much screwed.

I don’t know what happened at Sega and From Software, but they seriously fucked up that game.

I would say the only "glitch" in RE5 VS mode was how they programmed it to allow you to attack other players in "Slayers" mode. Considering the point of Slayers is to kill as many as enemies as possible, Capcom also designed it to allow you to kill other players which is stupid because it wastes so much ammo and you have dumb idiot players who purposely distract you by trying to shoot you. It totally defeats the purpose of the mode since killing each other is reserved for "Survivors".

Skil seriously, play dynasty warriors 6 on master mode, the officers own you, the luitenants stun u, and the privates take cheap shots at you and slap you around at times. Like i said which u should READ, it needs to be well thought out.

to join the action, connect a second controller to the xbox 360 and press start.

My pleasure ๐Ÿ™‚

I’ve been through four or five chapters so far and tbh it’s not much for gameplay. Run around, gather some clues, solve the puzzle. The puzzle is always a number sequence and there’s really no wiggle room. It’s super linear. One of those games with lots of ‘go back and talk to that guy’ if you get stuck. So there’s a good bit of back n forth. The puzzles aren’t stupidly challenging since they always provide you with (sometimes obscenely) obvious clues. There are secret puzzles though which i think are kind of fun to look for, but that might just be the completionist in me talking.

The best thing about it for me is that Suda51 quirk. I’m a confessed sucker for Suda51/Grasshopper games. I find the writing pretty humorous and surreal in a David Lynch kind of way. And mercifully, the game falls back on that strength constantly. Outside of the number puzzles it might as well be a funny visual novel.

I don’t really get everything going on, but it seems like one of those games not to be fully comprehend till the second play. I can definitely see why people would pass on it. I’m in it for the plot.

Peter: "Come on in, then. On into me…"
Mondo: "Ok, I’ll make this slick. That’s gotta sound odd… This guy, Peter, talking about ‘come on inside of me’."

What’s not to love about that? Suda is a strange man.

I’m quite interested in furthering the story cos it seems genuinely interesting. Demons have started popping up, modern life is degrading as the power goes out all over Tokyo, and my character can see the number of days people have left to live right over their heads Deathnote style. And your party is full of ones ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

On the other hand, I’m not a huge fan of grid-based battle systems and wary that I was recently stuck grinding or resorting to clever exploits to win only the 3rd fight in the game. It’s a boss fight true, but goddamn, the difficulty certainly jumped pretty high from that last battle.

Another annoyance is the presence of only one save slot. So, I’m stuck with my choices till the next new game. Even NES games had more than that ๐Ÿ˜ก

Regardless, it’s a decent start. I really like the music, the art, and the interactions with your characters. Just have to get used to the battles. I don’t regret picking it up at all.

Yeah, definitely a game where reading the instruction booklet is a requirement. It just sticks you smack dab in the middle of the action without even a hint of back story. And I like how in the instruction guide, it states that Lux-Pain is a first of its kind because it combines stylus-based action and adventure games. Oh yeah, I’ve never played a game like that before. :rolleyes:

I love when you honestly think a game should end and it keeps going into an entirely separate plot.

Also, It depends if the game is good and you are not just playing it just to complete it because "It’s a game you have to beat." Forcing yourself to complete the game is a bad thing and ruins the fun you should always come back to it when you get in the mood, learned that from Neg. ๐Ÿ˜€

I agree. But I mean like, a good plot that just gets better. I’m not sure if you thought I was trying to be sarcastic or not ๐Ÿ˜€

Okami imo is an instant classic.

I mean, in a larger sense it’s basically a Legend of Zelda game with a wolf, but it executes oh so very well. I’d put it up there with Windwaker minus all the sailing. Plus it’s loooong with the added boon of being interesting and fun which is always good. There’s also a new game+ and a good bit of unlockable content. Heck, even the loading screens hold secrets.

Anyways, I’d recommend it to anyone and everyone. ๐Ÿ™‚

I’ve just gotten my hands on [Prototype]. Pretty good stuff so far. Graphics can be a bit questionable; some pop-in and very basic terrain textures. It controls smooth as silk though, and the animations are very slick.

If you liked zipping around New York at breakneck speeds in the Spider-Man games (or anything similar) this one’s for you.


RikkuYunaRinoa
07-14-2009, 06:55 PM
I suppose you saw Yahtzee’s review? He gave [Prototype] and InFamous equal scores. But didn’t seem over the moon with either.

I played the InFamous demo and I really didn’t like it. I thought I would pick one of the two up, but I’ve read things that pretty much suggest both are good, but not fantastic.

And Spider-Man 2 had me glued to the PS2 for hours. Finding all the skyscraper and buoy tokens was so much fun because you got to swing around like a lunatic throughout all the searching. 3 kind of went downhill.

I’m currently playing Call Of Duty:World At War. I have been for months. It’s the online, it’s so good/addictive. (any online PS3 players, add me. My ID is in the thread in General Gaming)

I have yet to get the other ending in Fatal Frame 3. Or beat survival mode. Freaking hard.

Maybe I should give Fatal Frame 2: Director’s Cut another try because that’s the only one I haven’t beaten yet…

FINALLY got my hands on Halo 3 – my first Halo game evah! And I have to say, it is about as good as I thought it would be. It could in no way surpass my top three FPS games, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye & Half-Life 2, but it is really good. I love the special items it has (Bubble Shield, Regenerator, etc.) that add to the commotion, and I adore the energy sword ^_^

Well, it’s supposed to be Tomb Raider: Anniversary (I wanted to buy it because it went down in price and I had fond memories of the PSX version). So I went to the local comic book store (I refuse to buy from Gamestop ever again) to buy it. He scanned the game case (Anniversary), I payed $20, and went home. When I opened the case (because I didn’t look at it in the store), it turns out he put Tomb Raider: Underworld in it instead. Now I’ve been wondering if I should be a good person and tell him he mixed the game up and get Anniversary, or keep my mouth shut because I kinda dig it after playing it for 6 hours and have downloaded 6 free costumes for Miss Croft. I also have a burned copy of Anniversary for my PS2 but I wanted this one because I don’t play PS2 that much compared to 360 due to the fact I can talk to my buddies while playing it and I don’t obviously have it. Or had it. You know what I mean.

So right now, I’m currently playing Tomb Raider: Underworld.

Well, I finished the mediocre Lux-Pain and just started playing Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box and so far it’s great. I played through the prologue and little ways more with my DS earphones, so I could clearly hear the music and the voice acting. Everything feels the same as the last game and that’s not a bad thing at all. I’ve played through about 8 puzzles and the difficulty level is also about the same but I’m sure I’ll be tearing my hair out soon enough on later puzzles.

Yep, I’m at the penultimate chapter right now, and the game is seriously addictive. Everything that was great about the first game has been improved and the pacing of the game makes it so it’s really hard to leave the controller to do some more useful stuff like cleaning up and eating.

I must say that I agree to anyone saying that this is probably the best game on the PS3 to date. And if the first game is any indication, it will keep that spot for a while (until Uncharted 3, maybe).

Oh, I almost forgot…

The GRAPHICS!!!!! ???o???

I don’t have any problems with the first two, but the third and ODST was garbage. I was very disappointed in ODST because I thought that Bungie would finally do something right with it.

But then again, it’s Halo so I should’ve known.

And the game I’m currently playing is that Kingdom Hearts 38434874237846/2 Days.

Among Thieves — It’s just as good as Hynad said. I managed to get onto the multiplayer and that’s pretty good too. The beta didn’t give it a good first impression for me, but once I had played the Story and got used to the controls again, I enjoyed it.

Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo (WII)

It’s pretty good.
Simple for sure, even as a beat-em-up.
But the music is great and it goes over a plot-line/time-line that is rarely explored in the DB universe of games.

The difficulty is a little broken I think, as I was kicking all sorts of ass and then, all of a sudden, the Ninja-Bros boss fight has me stuck.
>_<

But, overall, I’m enjoying it.
It’s not the deepest game ever and if you leave the music/effects volume up and turn off the character voices it’s got some really peppy and nice sound.

Spyborgs (WII)
Yet around beat-em-up, a little deeper (thus far) than DB:RoKP, but better graphics & a whole hell of a lot harder.

Reminds me of some sci-fi version of ’Double Dragon’.
Even the music is all ’rock-ish’ and ’lets be manly’, not a bad thing at all.

The camera is semi-fixed with the game itself choosing where it goes.
Thus far I haven’t had any issue with it, which is pretty rare for any fixed camera.

There’s some light leveling up elements in the game and the sci-fi feel is nice.

With three generic characters types to play as there is variety.
Every level you have to have an AI controlled ally which is more beneficial than I thought it was going to me.
The AI is basic enough and holds its own most of the time. I also like that I can, on the fly, switch between whatever 2 of the 3 characters I want to play as and thus give me some more button-smashing diversity.

Again, I am enjoying this game and I do like the difficulty being consistent.
It’s hard when it’s hard, there’s no hand holding to be had.
You die, you repeat the level, it’s that simple.

Games I’m currently playing:

Metal Slug Anthology
Little King’s Story
Chrono Trigger (New Game +)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Really enjoying Metal Slug, though I find they are pretty similar (in aesthetic, at least), and that I’d only really go back to one or two for play throughs. I’ve completed all of them, but I think I’ll be needing to go back to MS2 to complete the rest of the gallery (I forgot to save after I did it).

I’ve been playing Little King’s Story, but to be honest… I can’t quite get into it. I think I found Pikmin more involving.

I’m trying to get the rest of the secret endings on Chrono Trigger, but I’m not too sure I can go through with it. The game was so great, I’m afraid repeatedly playing it will dull what I think of it. Also, struggling to beat Lavos earlier on, so I’m going to wait a bit till later.

I’ve completed Twilight Princess twice before, and I hadn’t played it in a while, so I thought I would. To be honest though, it feels a bit dull now. My playthrough has been going pretty slow, though after I get the master sword, I know things will pick up by quite a lot. It gets better from then on.

Tantei Jinguuji Saburou: Shinjuku Chuuou Kouen Satsujin Jiken

hoping there won’t be some ridiculous 8-bit maze that will force me to give the game up halfway through.

It wasn’t a maze, but the game basically told me to investigate every single tile in a giant park until I found something, so I gave up halfway through.

Now I’m playing Tenchi Souzou.

Highlight a channel, hold down the B button and A button then drag and drop to any spot or page.
And if you drag the channel over the arrows on either side of the screen and hold it there for a second, you could switch displays. Handy for hiding games you don’t want people to know you have (and you need go out for a few to get a SD card to move said game to)

HOW COULD YOU GUYS NOT KNOW?!?!?!?!
Because they use their Wii less than their PS3?

They seriously need to release Bejeweled 2 as a Wiiware. Because that’s what I’m using my PS3 for at the moment…

I haven’t noticed Malon in it yet. I’ve only been playing it for an hour or so, but it’s addictive. Yeah the story starts out with ‘the hero’ going to get his train conductor certificate from Princess Zelda, but eventually you get the usual green garb.

Don’t worry; if I can beat it (on PSX and PSP), anyone can! The key is in making sure the characters you start with (the hired hands whom can be re-hired from academies but start off at lvl 1, whether you’re facing lvl 1 or lvl 50 enemies) at a much higher level than your enemies. I’d spend the bulk of your time at first just gearing up your guys before you ever tackle, say, the Trade City (I forget the name). That way, you run a lesser risk of losing anybody later on ๐Ÿ˜‰ That’s what got me my first time through! By the time I reached the final battle against Weigraf, I was so over-leveled, everything beyond him was boringly easy.

Not a bad game, there’s loads of stuff to unlock and enough throwbacks to the old FFs that someone like me (who rags on most FFs after FF6) can enjoy it.

You have to do all four Wily stages in one go and my controller ran out of juice after the 2nd fortress stage so i had to use the batteries in my remote, so i buckled down and beat it like it owed me money. Pro tip to anyone wanting to buy the classic controller because they are tired of their Wiimote running out of power, don’t. It plugs INTO the WIIMOTE. Fuck you Nintendo.

Other than that i didn’t even know it could play Gamecube games before i got it.

I pretty much got the hang of how the Wii works and what is out there for it, but nowhere did it say this controller doesn’t plug into the Wii itself and it kinda makes me wanna take it back to the store and choke the person with the cord now.

I have never been very fond of the n64 layout either. I like the gamecube one, though. I question the deal with the expansion pak. Did they want to give the system that memory at the time of release but could not pull it off due to tech constraints of that moment? More sales? (most likely) I also question the rumble pack. It should have been integrated already into the controller. AND IT NEEDS BATTERIES. Dammit.

Rogue Squadron and Goldeneye? You have a good point there.
Well, add Super Mario 64 and Starfox 64 to the list while you’re at it, lol.
I did very much like using my XBox360 controller with Project64 to play Starfox 64. Perfect (almost) emulation controller right there. I had a hard time with the N64 fps games using that controller, though.
Fortunately, I still have my actual N64 with which I can play several of the fps games including Perfect Dark, Turok 2, Goldeneye, the World is Not Enough, Hexen, and you can somewhat half-count Shadows of the Empire.

My sister has a Wii, so our NGC is not getting dusted off.
I wonder if I should keep the NGC for myself once I live alone so that I may at least play Twilight Princess whenever I please. =D

The ‘cube controller absolutely killed the last level in Rogue Squadron, what should have been a satisfyingly difficult test of skill was made just aggravating with the roll button in the same place as the accelerator and add to that the camera pulls back when you speed up suddenly.

As for the N64 one I never had any real trouble with it until I tried playing shooters on anything that isn’t Nintendo, nearly all other console and PC shooters have the right hand as the aim and look function and the left hand as the run and other functions. Having played Star Fox 64, Rogue Squadron series, Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, Time Splitters 2, and any action game with a first person view I’ve always used my right hand to run around, open doors, select items and my left hand to look, aim, & shoot.
Now I have trouble doing it "reversed" because not every game has a lefty set up and often it might take time setting the options.

it sure is! i also loved the Kingdoms searies. the whole change from sci-fi to medival fantasy was well done! they manged tho keep all the good things from original TA and this time, they added a great storyline!

StarCraft is better.

yeah, starcraft had a better story, and had a good gameplay. It was a cool game and I enjojed playing it! But still, I would choose total annihilation over starcraft anytime! the gameplay was addictive and it always seemed more realistic than starcraft. and I played it before starcraft was relesed, so i guess it left a deeper impresion on me.

whitch one is better? It’s a matter of opinion, since both games are constantly on "top 10 greatest strategy games ever" lists. ๐Ÿ™‚

The only good thing about WaW was the Nazi Zombies. I am so sick and tired of WWII based shooters. So I obviously like the Modern Warfare games much better.

I still think they could just put Nazi Zombies available to download at the Xbox Live Arcade.

The ‘cube controller absolutely killed the last level in Rogue Squadron, what should have been a satisfyingly difficult test of skill was made just aggravating with the roll button in the same place as the accelerator and add to that the camera pulls back when you speed up suddenly.

As for the N64 one I never had any real trouble with it until I tried playing shooters on anything that isn’t Nintendo, nearly all other console and PC shooters have the right hand as the aim and look function and the left hand as the run and other functions. Having played Star Fox 64, Rogue Squadron series, Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, Time Splitters 2, and any action game with a first person view I’ve always used my right hand to run around, open doors, select items and my left hand to look, aim, & shoot.
Now I have trouble doing it "reversed" because not every game has a lefty set up and often it might take time setting the options.
Absolutely true about the reversed controls, always annoyed me, but hey, practice makes perfect =P
When setting up controls in an xbox (not 360, never touched one) shooter, I try to go with a setup similar to those N64 games while on pc, I go with the reveresed setup, using my left hand instead for movement and interacting with the environment since it is what I am to used to. I no longer play consoles very much, so I suck ass at the console shooters now, lol. A little practice would help, but I’m too lazy.

Why not? That’s too bad. I’m having plenty of fun. And LOL at Zelda in this game. I love the way she freaks out at what happens to her.
"OMGWTF the villain will run around in my body?!?!?!?!"
"OMGLOL I’m a phantom."
At least she’s not as annoying as the companion faeries Link has had to tolerate in some of the previous games.

I kind of do wish there was more stuff to bomb with the train.

I have no PS3 so I can’t rate them myself, but I heard Bayonetta is a female Devil May Cry, and that MW2 is pretty damn good. I don’t know what it ranks on console shooters, but I’ve been told it’s up there for sure.

MW2 feels boring and I feel like I’m playing an army recrutment game. The controls are smooth, but the game lacks story and the graphics are a bit behind Killzone 2 which are both way better IMO. I haven’t played the online multiplayer on my PS3 yet but the single player campaign is meh. I have read that the multiplayer is where it’s at and I can already see how they’re right since I got to play a little on my nephews 360, but I want to finish the singleplayer first before I can make a final assessment.

As for Bayonetta, it’s just like Devil May Cry because it was made my the same director and/or creator. Since I haven’t played it on the 360 I can’t compair what everyone is fussing about – loading time. But I haven’t had any problems so ignorance is bliss. I am wondering if the older PS3s are having the loading problems and intend to compair on both my slim PS3 and original 60GB system later.

I’ve played the demo of Bayonetta and I can see the similarities between it and Devil May Cry, but personally I thought it reminded more of Bulletwitch which was abysmal imo. Still… judging a game via a demo is rather foolhardy so I may hire Bayonetta out and revise my opinion after playing it.

As for me… The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I can’t get into this game no matter what. I’ve escaped from the dungeon but I honestly don’t feel any ‘attachment’ for this game after the first level, like I do for other games. Probably not my kind of game I guess.

Gone back to Final Fantasy XI Online again, with an alternate character and leveling concurrently with a friend’s alternate character. Starting ‘fresh’ has helped revive my liking of this game again.

I played it on Game Cube and it’s the best over all Zelda. From the quick and easy menu system, horse controls, art design, to the fact that when you run and swing your sword you just kinda thwack it so you can cut grass and other stuff without stopping. Then there’s the fact that we actually get a character that has character we fallows you through the hole game.

The dungeons and bosses are great and working with Zelda more as a partner in the game rather than some character you only see once or twice like previous installments is such a great idea and I hope they continue with it. In fact, she should get her own game much like Princess Peach has her own.

You felt it empty maybe because of the Idea of the game, Silent Hill overall concept is something very abstact, psychological & symbolic, difficult to understand for the first playthrough and even more difficult if you play it a young age.
In magazines they paint it as RE Type because of it’s gameplay, but in essence they are very different.

Not really, though things you do in Mass Effect do have follow ups in the sequel. You can carry your character over (If your character in ME is level 60, you start at level 5 instead of 1), and if your character had a large amount of credits, something over a million or so, when you start ME2 you have 200k worth of credits to play with from the start. Unfortunately none of your inventory etc from ME is carried over to ME2.

Do i need to play the first Mass Effect to understand Mass Effect 2?

If you truly want to immerse yourself in the world, you’ll want to play Mass Effect 1.

All the decision you made in the first game carry over, and the story is exclusively done around those decisions. Making the experience different for each Shepard. The main plot doesn’t change, but how it develops does.

When talk of Mass Effect 3 starts up, I’m going to replay both games as a Female Protagonist, since I’m currently a Male.

When Mass Effect 3 comes out, I’ll have both Male and Female Shepard’s to finish the game and the Trilogy.

I rather enjoyed Assassin’s Creed II, had a certain ‘GTA-ness’ feel to it in some aspects (the free roaming and missions etc).

Word of advice, start collecting the Assassin’s seals as soon as you can…. once you get Altair’s armor, don’t need any other armor for the rest of the game. It’s unbreakable and won’t be damaged in attacks.

I’ve never got any problem on picking things from a menu,I like a lot the ATB system, the problem that I had with previous FF battle system such as say IX(the worse) or IV(I’ve never liked to grind lvls to learn skills) were the awful skill systems, particularily the one on IX.
In XII the skill system is pretty open & very explorable.
The only flaw that XII has on systems is the random treasure chest, that was a godly stupid idea.

I actually enjoyed Mass Effect 2, just waiting for the ‘Kasumi’ Add on then I’m going to give it another try, with the Firewalker missions and everything else (Managed to get almost all available DLC for this game, except the Inferno Armor for Shepard… which annoys me slightly as I’d like to have all the DLC, but meh… w/e)., maybe after another playthrough of Mass Effect and it’s DLC.

Finished DA:O with a Human Female Noble, involved romantically with Leliana (Rogue), at level 25 (the level cap), with ALMOST the mega Scooby Doo happy ending (Everyone was happy… cept those damn dwarves >.<… and the circle of Magi… ).

Considering playing Dragon Age: Origins Awakening… or GTAIV (with the expansions: The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony)… or Saints Row 2 (with all of it’s DLC). Dunno which…

I also agree with Enkidoh about FFXII’s battle system, but I haven’t played that for a year or so, so my memory of it may be off.

As somebody who has frequently played MMORPGs, the hybrid that was 12’s all felt very natural to me. 9’s skill system sounds good, in addition, if it’s anything like FFTA 1 and 2 or like various other games where you learn things by using weapons. I like that sort of thing.

There are cracks to bypass the login and AI mods for those who wish to play against computer (the latest AI is quite tough). Also, I don’t have a Battle.Net account, so we won’t be able to play against each other after all.

I wish they’d both fall down a hole and die painfully, they’re so bad (Vanielle because of her constant ridiculous cheery optimism, and Hope for his constant emo angst). The sooner I can actually choose my party members the better, because neither of them will be in my active party by that point, I hate them so much. Why Lightning doesn’t just abandon the two of them is beyond my understanding.

Weird. I despised Vanille because her voice actor is awful and made her cheery optimism sound more like her being a sociopath. I didn’t have any problems with Hope, seeing as he really isn’t that emo. He never even cries, and only vents his anger every now and then. In fact he’s made out to be pretty much the opposite of an emo and more of an angry badass, really.

Speaking of Lightning, I’m surprised you don’t dislike her. She is totally unlikeable for the first 5+ hours and then totally cheesy/cliche/retarded for the remainder of the game.

Just weird.

Started Mass Effect again. Intend to finish this with all DLC and sidequests and get the ‘Paragon’ ending. Then, after downloading the ‘Kasumi Goto’ Add on as well as the alternate gear for Jack, Thane and Garrus, going to play Mass Effect 2 right afterwards.

Damn you to the deepest, darkest pit of gaming Hell Square Enix. This game plays like the 8:05 express train to the city, the characters are a mixed lot from ‘omg, is she a lesbian?’ to ‘I want this whinny little brat to drop dead’, and the story is quite plainly the most ridiculous, poorly-contrived bunch of nonsense to spew forth from Yoshinori Kitase’s head since the whole ‘let’s link FFX’s world with FFVII!’ But damn it!

I admit, you’re right about Hope Neg. After Palampolum he finally grows a backbone and lets go of that stupid whiny ‘Snow killed my mum’ angst, and has become much more likeable. Despite what the stupid strategy guide says though (goddess, I can’t believe I wasted $30 on it), I found Vanille to be a far better healer than Hope, even though he’s supposed to be the better healer of the two.

And Fang has become my new ‘game girl obsession’. Mostly because she reminds me of a friend of mine. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I really have to either limit my FFXIII playing to only the weekends or to be more lenient and not force myself through a chapter every day. I’m starting to go to bed at 3 in the morning. It’s severely affecting my wake up routines to the point that I sometimes don’t even hear the alarm clock go off and be late for work. My current worst record on the punch clock is 9:25 in the morning.

And all this because one chapter runs for like 4-5 hours each, and I’m afraid that if I stop mid-chapter I’ll have problems picking up where I left off on the walkthrough. The main reason for the walkthrough? So that I don’t miss any treasure boxes. It’s already bad enough that I get lost in the walkthrough even while playing and backtrack a lot just to make sure I didn’t miss a treasure box that’s hidden behind some nook, since apparently once you leave an area, you can’t go back.

Infamous

It’s more structured than Fallout. Feels like Spidy 3. That it has regenerating health makes it a hundred million times better than Fallout. Also, really simple skill trees and not assigning points to stats.

It’s a little boring and repetitive, but maybe just because I grinded for a while to get better melee before doing the second mission. Now quests are open, so that might change.

Neg
05-15-2010, 04:09 AM
I could never find beds in Fallout. Never found a free one once. I had to keep paying that asshole doctor. There’s only so much stuff you can steal and sell for bottlecaps to keep healing yourself because everyone wants to shoot you from a distance. It made playing the game no fun. If it had regenerating health, I could hide behind a ridge and get back in the action. As it was I had to keep running back to Megaton.

I could never find beds in Fallout. Never found a free one once. I had to keep paying that asshole doctor. There’s only so much stuff you can steal and sell for bottlecaps to keep healing yourself because everyone wants to shoot you from a distance. It made playing the game no fun. If it had regenerating health, I could hide behind a ridge and get back in the action. As it was I had to keep running back to Megaton.

There are beds all over the place you should probably stop being awful at games .

Agreed. And just as an addendum, wouldn’t it defeat the purpose of the whole game if you had health regeneration in an RPG?

I picked up Etrian Odyssey II yesterday, and I’m surprised I never got into this or the first one sooner. This is right up my alley. I’m having a ton of fun making my maps and I really like the team I built (Ronin, Survivalist, Protector, Medic, and Gunner). The art for the characters is so cute!

It was annoying, but not the hardest. Apparently — and I just found out about this — the game wasn’t really received well, and I understand why, however I enjoyed it as much as the others. It just made me more frustrated because of how cheap it was. I can’t tell you how many times I died. Thing is, it’s far more forgiving than the first two games, or any of the Original Series for that matter.

As I’ve played through the entirety of the Original Series (save for 10), and up to X6 consecutively, I didn’t have too much trouble getting past it anyways.

So I’m in between games at the moment, as I’ve just beaten X6 and F-Zero X. While I’m waiting for my second copy of Breed to arrive in the mail, I think I might attack San Fransisco Rush 2049 (DC) again, and try and get all the coins. Either that or just keep on playing Modern Warfare 2.

I’ve played the first X on SNES & almost finished it, the battle against sigma in it’s final form was so boring that I desisted.
I didn’t liked the 2nd X game at all & don’t get me started on the 3rd one.
The lvl design on X6 was annoying & unfair, like you’ve said, it was cheap.
The ones that I’ve enjoyed the most were X5 Y X4, actually X5 is my all time fauvorite megaman game.

Currently Final Fantasy VII, Sly Cooper, and Zelda: Spirit Tracks. The latter two I completed, but started FFVII over. Much as the game is packed with memorable moments for me from childhood, it’s so chock-full of nonsensical dialogue, typos, and pointless plot points from time to time I forget what’s overall going on. As a kid I did and figured it’d all make more sense when I was older, but not really. Still, I consider it a great game and equal to the rest of the series. I’d buy it if it were remade, simply because this time around maybe the developers would actually know what all the hell they were even writing before releasing the finished product, not handing us something that never passed its first revision.

Why sin’t lucasarts making a new Rogue Squadron game? On the wii they could make a special X-Wing controller like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHZ5FTPYuWE).

George Lucas said that the Light Side events of any of the games is official canon, so it really isn’t up to the developers.

That’s true, all light side endings to Star Wars games are canon. What I want to know is why GL wanted a sequel to Star Wars The Force Unleashed… the first one was terrible.

What they should do, is cover the events in the New Jedi Order EU novel series focusing on Katarn’s involvement. Katarn hasn’t died yet, and he shows up numerous times in the novels.

TBH, I don’t think games made of the New Jedi Order era would be any good, as the novels pretty much cover all that and they only span a relatively small period in time.

Personally, I think games of the Old Republic era would be better, as they’d allow developers more leeway in making a game, but they’d have a large period of time to base them in (4000 years since the Sith War of Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma, then 50 years later the events of Knights of the Old Republic with Revan) and they can create it from start (story, characters etc) while not try to keep characters from the novels in it.

And by far, Katarn is my favorite Jedi.

Revan would bitch slap Katarn into the Black Hole Cluster near Kessel.

Dragon Age Origins. Again. I so love this game…

On July 6th, another DLC will become available for purchase/download. Leliana’s Song (http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Leliana%27s_Song_%28DLC%29). I hope BioWare releases origin DLC like this for the rest of the companions.

Just got the last three achievements for Dragon Age: Origins on Xbox Live, so I can put that on the shelf now (after so many playthroughs… I’ve actually lost count). Now having to decide what to play. Probably go and finish Bully: Scholarship Edition.

From what I’ve read, Leliana’s Song is a Origin tale of the Orlesian bard, Leliana, and seems to detail the events leading up to her joining the Chantry in Lothering.

The trailer for this DLC is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LfZAIaMzPI)

I’ve gone through Half Life 2 (as this is my second playthrough — first time on PC) and about half way through Episode 1. So really:

I love these games. It’s just a shame that Episode 3 isn’t out yet — it better be longer than four hours. . .hurr.

I wouldn’t think so, considering that Dragon Quest IX is its own game, whereas Pokemon Blue and Red were essentially mirrors of each other. A more applicable question, to poke fun at the sameness of all the games is to compare them to, say, Dynasty Warriors. Though, I would disagree, and say that the games are each different, and present completely different scenarios and tech.

I don’t know why I just did that there, but that’s the stream of thought that went through my head when I saw your response. . .

I beat Half Life 2: Episode 1, so now on to Episode 2.

So, with my new computer, I’ve been testing various PC games, to see how they run on the system. I’ve since put every game to the test with all the settings on high. It’s amazing how well the Source Engine based games look when you have the shininess turned on. I suggest looking into Goldeneye Source if you have an excellent PC, because they were trying to put in every effect that the Source engine could handle into that mod.

Finally got to play Battlefield 2, of which I’ve been dying to play, because my old PC couldn’t handle it. The last time I played the game was in ’05. It’s been so long, my old friend.

Then after the tremor glove, hookshot thing, epon…uh ruin, I realised I was playing Zelda with lots and lots of blood.

When I got my Aperture Science Glaive-Mounted Portal Device, I was hooked.

Sure, Darksiders takes bits of game design from everywhere and mushes them together; but it’s GOOD game design, wrapped in a semi-decent story. Not quite as epic as God of War III – but it’s hard to out-epic a game that starts with you climbing a Titan that’s climbing Mount Olympus so you can kill motherfucking Zeus.

I don’t see a World of Diablo or World of Starcraft, do you? But I do see a World of Warcraft. If Blizzard wants to continue the storyline of the Warcraft universe, they’ll released a WoW expansion.

As long as WoW exists, don’t even think about a Warcraft RTS happening ever again. Frankly, I doubt there will even be one after WoW is gone.

Given that WarCraft III is still played competitively (see the current European WarCraft Invitational), there is definitely a demand for a WarCraft RTS. It would be difficult to make it story based, but there is no reason they couldn’t develop a multiplayer-only WarCraft IV – take the races and lore from WoW, and build a multiplayer RTS around it.

When I first heard about battlegrounds, with Lumber Mills and Blacksmiths, i envisioned a grand RTS with one player directing other PCs, and ‘spawning’ characters based on resources collected. This was before i’d ever played an MMO, mind. As unrealistic as that seems now, when I first played a BG, the FPS style run-in-die-spawn was disappointing; there is still room for macro-leveled WarCraft.

It’s perfectly possible to make an RTS after WoW. They could end that story arc on a cliffhanger then bring in the rest in WC4.

As much as I love my Xbox 360 Elite… I actually hate it at the moment. 2 major problems have hampered my gaming. First, freezing. Not matter the game, the action freezes leaving me unable to move my character, pull up the ingame menu or even the Xbox Guide (Via the Xbox button in the middle of the controller). Second… Red Ring Of Death. I think I’m cursed or something, as this is the third Xbox 360 (first elite) I have which has done this. Fortunately, it’s still under warranty, but I’ll be unable to play any of my favorite games for a month or so.

So… that brings me to what I’m playing at the moment. I’ve dug up my ‘fatboy’ PS2 which I haven’t used since December of 2006… and it still works! Playing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas/Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland/Dynasty Warriors 5 (As well as the Xtreme Legends and Empires expansions.). I’ll be using my PS2 for awhile, til my Elite comes back.

I know, right? Even Nolan North couldn’t save it. The Forgotten Sands had everything that made Sands of Time great – acrobatics, traps, humour, and a story you actually cared about, while improving on them, PLUS borrowing Assassin’s Creed II’s combat system.

Having an XP system meant that I actually looked forward to enemies, unlike the previous PoPs, where they were just chores between awesome parkour.

I’d still like to see an open-world Prince of Persia (using the AC engine) done right – although PoP’s best puzzles are the linear trap sections. Maybe they need to follow AC’s model of having buildings with a linear ‘solution’.


Prak

I still haven’t played Forgotten Sands, despite being a huge fan of the Sands of Time series. I should be getting around to it soon enough, hopefully.

But to be frank, I think the Prince of Persia games have pretty well run their course. The idea of an open world PoP game in the style of Assassin’s Creed could be appealing, but no more than an actual Assassin’s Creed game, especially if they continue adding the best elements of PoP gameplay.

Well the story wasn’t as good as Sands of Time, but I’d be prepared to call it above average. But the Prince’s face looks weird, man. Just… weird.

How exactly did it borrow the battle system from Assassin’s Creed II? They’re pretty much completely different. Not that any one of them is particularly good.

I felt the XP system was a bit unnecessary, to be honest. It’s a bit of distraction, if nothing else. You say you look forward to enemies, but the way I see it, there’s an extra chore I have to do before the platforming sections.

You’re right about the face looking weird. I think they tried to cross the ‘original’ prince with Jake Gyllenhal and ended up with a freaky looking hybrid.

Most of the time in Assassin’s Creed II you fight using the lock on (well I do, anyway), but for some of the trickier achievements you need to fight free form – and when you take away the lock on, increase the speed about three times, you get The Forgotten Sands’ combat system. Given that The Forgotten Sands is made using Ubi’s AC engine, I can imagine it was easier than creating a new combat system.

You’re probably right about the XP thing, but I’m a levelling whore. It’s why I’ve got 4 80’s in WoW.

Prak – I can say without any reservation that The Forgotten Sands is the best Prince of Persia game when it comes to platforming. After the middling reviews it got I waited until I could pick it up cheap (I found it in a bargain bin mislabeled for 80% off, haha), but I would have happily paid full price for it.

Actually, that’s pretty simple. The first one was funded and published by Microsoft. They own the property, and there is absolutely no way they’ll let EA bring it to the PS3.

They might be able to do what Ninja Gaiden did, but Microsoft is probably desperate about this and won’t let EA do that either.

Half Life 1 was built on id Tech 2 (the Quake II engine), and the difference in graphics quality is night and day – just because it’s based on the same tech, doesn’t mean that you can’t adjust texture quality or polygon count.

Actually Half Life was built on Valves Goldsource engine which was a heavily modified Quake I engine. So yes you’re comparing night and day.

Have you ever compared Unreal Engine games? Big differences sometimes.

It’s no secret that Unreal Engines are always being modified and often quite heavily, hence why there’s Unreal Engine 2.5, 3.5.

Well, I was going to continue with Breed, as I was putting together a bunch of computer parts that I had laying around to use for a Windows XP based PC, and found that the only motherboard I had (an older one) was not compatible with my case (different sized ports). I need an XP based PC to run Breed, because in Win7, it freezes at the point after the logo animation. So I’m deciding on what game I should play for the PC now, because I don’t want to wait till I can get a new motherboard. Breed is just giving me too many problems for what it’s worth, and it’s not worth that much!!!

That problem can be easily fixed if you break off the default shield that comes with the case. Many brand-name motherboards sold after 2001 has their own shield that can be fixed onto the case, and many cases come with default shields that can be broken off in case the motherboard ships with a custom one. Irritatingly, those shields tend to go missing during a motherboard upgrade process, but you could live without the shield I guess. At worst, a new one off eBay costs less than a meal at McDonalds.

It depends – it seems like it’s one of those games you either love or hate. If you like mob movies like The Godfather, you’ll love this game – it captures the feeling of the era perfectly. You can really get lost in the 1940s. For an open world game, it’s not very open – there is a linear mission structure, and very very few side missions to speak of. Personally I like this because the linearity means that the story flows better – half of the reason i’ve never finished GTA4 is because i kept getting sidetracked. That said, i’ve got a feeling that when I finish it, I won’t have any reason to play it again. I’d say that unless you’re a completionist, it’s probably better as a rental – put aside 20 hours or so for a playthrough though.

Also: 1950s Playboy centrefolds as collectibles. Man, chicks were hotter back before boob jobs and photoshop.

It depends. Many virtualization software has issues with 3D. On one hand, if the games doesn’t need OpenGL or newer versions of Direct3D then it will most likely work. Alternatively, some virtualization software has experimental 3D card emulation and has a better chance of running the game flawlessly. But yeah, all things considered it will not run as well as when it’s running on XP natively.

Online multiplayer or split-screen?

Online multiplayer isn’t as fun imo – it’s a very competitive environment, but that’s what FPS junkies on Xbox Live want.

Split-screen multiplayer, or even online party multiplayer with real mates, is where the fun is – 4 player split-screen deathmatch in Blood Gulch on Halo 1 pretty much defined by friday nights in high school.

As for single player, it’s pretty much the only FPS out these days that is still a run-and-gun; throw yourself into the middle of a firefight, and burn through ammo to survive. It’s a refreshing change of pace from Half-Life’s ammo conservation and Call of Duty’s ‘two shots and you’re dead’ system – not better, just different. Going up against two hunters (big, brutish, one-shot-kill giants) on Heroic difficulty and coming out alive feels exhilirating.

There’s not a huge crossover between Halo fans and RTS fans – Halo Wars proved that. I’m an exception, because I just love pretty much all genres of games (except Sports games). I think your player pool is safe…until World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, anyway.

The Xbox version is a lot better than the PC version imo. I bought it for the PC back during the Steam summer sale, and I found the mouse/keyboard controls to be disintuitive. The game was designed with a controller in mind. Not to mention, if you play the Xbox version on the 360 it upscales it to 720p anyway, so you get the resolution benefit of the PC version in that way.

I wasn’t implying that SC2 players would migrate to Halo: Reach. I was just replying to FSITO as to why Halo is popular in general. Even if you don’t like it as much as other FPS’s, most of your friends (or most random people online anyway) are going to be playing that, so you might as well play it yourself.

Purrr: you know LOTRO is free-to-play, right? You should start a character on Elendilmir – that’s where i’ll be (once I transfer my character there).

CC: The problem with level caps is power scaling. A level 60 in vanilla wow had around 2000 hp – my level 80 priest has 21,000 hp unbuffed. I think they’re trying to avoid the massive power-spike from just levelling, because a lot of the actual stat increases come from raiding gear – there is a world of difference between a level 80 in dungeon blues and a level 80 in full heroic tier 10. Hell, there’s a huge enough difference between me (level 80, normal tier 10) and heroic tier 10.

I really can’t understand how anybody wouldn’t enjoy Halo 1 – sure, there’s nothing new or game changing about it, but it perfected the console FPS. Up until Halo, the most popular console FPS was Goldeneye – and Halo was one of the first games to take advantage of internet play. Although Xbox Live hadn’t been officially released, the Xbox’s network port allowed internet connectivity – Xlink Kai matches allowed console gamers to experience the joys of online multiplayer, that previously had been limited to the PC gamer market, and required a working knowledge of IPs.

For PC gamers who had been fragging each other online since Doom, this was nothing new, but Halo brought it to the masses. You also have to give Bungie credit – they were the first to come up with the twin-stick / trigger control system that nearly every single game now uses; as important a development as WASD.

…and i’m ranting.

Anyway, I guess what i’m trying to say is that Halo Reach is like a ‘best of’ of the Halo series – it includes nearly every single weapon (including the 2x zoom Magnum! LOVE THAT GUN) from the previous games, and some awesome new ones (<3 Needle Rifle). I haven’t played multiplayer yet since I prefer to play with friends, but I can imagine a new generation of high-school kids sitting around a 360 having an awesome time with this game.

Halo’s just not my cup of tea, that’s all. I get that it was considered revolutionary, but all the games I’ve ever played that I consider favorites of mine pretty much hooked me from the get-go, and Halo failed to. I only kept playing because my brother wouldn’t quit with the, "Oh, it gets better"s, and the, "It’s only the beginning"s. I bought into it for a while, but ‘the beginning’ never ended, and I’d had enough. But, to each their own.

So for one player, the Wii is the cheapest – but imo, most motion games are all about social gaming. For that, the X360 bundle is the winner.
That’s also not taking into account the fact that the 360 and PS3 are both HD consoles, and are able to do so much more; my PS3 is my main blu-ray player, and used to stream media from my PC to my living room.

So I spent enough time in Wrecking Crew. Enough to the point where I’ve had to put down the controller because the game was annoying me way too much. Call me a wuss, but I put up with 49 stages, and couldn’t beat the 49th stage for the life of me. So I skipped it, and went to the 50th stage, looked at it, came to the conclusion that this darn game was no longer any fun. Believe, me, I’ve held out on some pretty tough games that weren’t exactly the most fun, but this game was up there with Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine when it comes to annoying little things that just make me not want to play the particular game anymore. That and I wanted to play something else. So I beat Metal Slug on my Wii, and instantly felt better. Since then, I’ve started this:

Once again, it’s on the Wii.

I also set the fighting to switch. This was a used copy so no manual which means I spent 5 minutes trying to bash that armless thing’s head in with a 2×4. Where is the health bar?

The little screenshot of the action that’s on the inventory screen is your health meter. If it’s green, you’re 100%. If it’s red (and your controller is vibrating out of your hands, you’re almost dead.

Taking a stroll down memory lane with Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

Great game! I swear it’s my favorite of the original trilogy. I’ve been through that game so many times it’s like a workout routine for my hands. I know where every enemy is, I’ve gone every different story path, I’ve gotten every secret item (including the infinite machine gun, gatling gun and rocket launcher so the challenge of the game is now nonexistent) and I’ve pwned Nemesis so hard his grandchildren are gonna be feelin’ the burn.

Right there with you with RE being one of the first PS1 games ever played. It was actually my second game with Mega Man X4 being the first. But yeah, the terrible acting and cheesiness is what makes this game playable today. I will say that in "Advanced" mode, this game is pretty difficult for the sheer fact that ammo is very limited. You definitely have to pick your battles in that mode.

I’ll be hitting up the GC version soon again though. Just wanted to experience the game that started it all in all its glory.

I’ve been playing Fable 3, as well. I wasn’t expecting to like it all that much, seeing as how I thought the first 2 games were ‘Okay, but a bit throwaway’. (A lot of the critics have crucified it, as well).

But to my great surprise, I actually enjoyed it very much. It’s easily my favourite of the 3 Fable games, let down only by a bizarrely rushed final level. I thought the balance of humour and seriousness was much better this time round, keeping the eccentric charm of the Fable world, but making the main plot much more serious (and much, much more interesting).

I suppose it suffers from the same problems that most games these days have (too short, too easy, game world is too small, not enough variety in the baddies etc), but for some reason it all seemed to click better this time. It left me wanting more, whereas with the other games, I was glad to finish them and be done with them.

(could have invaded from spain, but i like a challenge). spain was a bitch to conquer because the king was in sardinia surrounded by a large fleet, for more than 50 turns i couldnt do shit to him.

Funny Izanami, I never got a email and I’ve been using the same email address for Xbox Live (since 2006), that I use here. Only way I found out about the update, was on Nov 1st when I had to download the mandatory update. Maxx Skywalker, you say IGN and other sites as well as Xbox.com informed people of it… I don’t look on gaming review websites, as the majority of reviewers out there are biased as to how great a game is, I have better things to do with my time online. I was referring to the patch update on Nov 14th as well, not the Nov 1st update either.

In any event, the patch update on the 14th solved the problem so w/e.

That explains it.

So I’ve beaten Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. Took me roughly thirty hours to get through. Fun times.

I also played through this:

. . .on the Wii. Took me less than an hour. I’m not saying I’m pro at these games, cause I’m not. Unlimited lives help, but I’m in it for the jovial nature of these games, and I can’t enjoy it, if I’m dying every minute. I just go through being an invincible BA, blowing stuff up.

Now I’ve started this:

Should’ve gotten Black Ops instead. Not only is the gameplay much more smoother with balanced weapons, you won’t deal with the hackers and cunts MW2 has.

Still playing FFXII. And I’m frustrated beyond all belief.

Decided to make a run on the final dungeon, and trounced pretty much everything in there. Everything that is, except Vayne’s stupid mecha-Bahamut-final-boss-form.

His special attacks are actually quite weak – strangely it’s his normal physical attacks (where he simply shoots a party member) that are crushing. It can pretty much take out a party member in one hit if Protect is down (which has a habit of going down at the worst possible time).

Oh, and did I mention the bastard doesn’t even have a HP gauge, so you have absolutely no idea how much longer you have til you can finally do him in. According to the absolutely useless strategy guide he has around 220 000 HP and is meant to be ‘nearly dead’ when he starts throwing up invincibility shields.

But even after smashing him repeatedly after the shields went down, and going through multiple Quickening chains he still wouldn’t die, and pretty much wiped my party out after that, picking off my party one by one once Protect went down with his cheap and nasty little shotgun.

So yeah, not happy at all (but it says a lot about FFXII where they take the end boss’s name seriously. :mad:).

Either way, I’m going to keep trying til I beat this giant narcissistic douchebag.

Also, I bought a PSPgo on impulse, so i’m finally playing Valkyria Chronicles II – I never bothered getting it for my PSP phat, because the analog stick was broken.

On the plus side, the PSPgo is pretty awesome – I have no idea why it gets all the negative press. On the minus side, no Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. I can finally play Gran Turismo PSP and Peace Walker though, so i’m happy.

no UMD = fail.

No UMD means it’s a lot lighter – it weighs about half what my iPhone weighs. Also, you can get most of the games on the PlayStation Store anyway – there are a few you can’t, but you can run pirated games on them now, so if I wanted to I could still play them. I’m going through a legit stage though, so i’m paying for games – it probably won’t last long.

Agreed. Going to exclusive digital software distribution was a huge mistake on Sony’s part. I’m a collector, so I’d prefer to actually have the disk (or whatever other platform it may be on). I can accept it on Steam though, because there is a larger back catalog of games that I can’t get in stores (because stores don’t resell PC games), than what the handheld has to offer.

FFIX; I’m at the very last battle. I’ve yet to beat it, but I’m using a completely different party than I ever did before. I’ve still got Zidane, Eiko, Amarant and Freya, and I’ve come damn close to besting Necron numerous times but that damn Grand Cross keeps getting me. I lol’d when I killed Deathguise in the first attempt, thinking of all the millions of times I tried back when I first beat the game and got butchered by him. This time he was a joke :-/

use steiner instead of amarant. shock deals max damage.

CC
01-11-2011, 08:10 PM
Ohhh nice! Thanks bud, I’ll try that ๐Ÿ™‚ Amarant has the ‘Healer’ ability that lets him restore HP to a target, but during Necron’s battle it works against me too often because Grand Cross causes some status defect (I still can’t figure out what it is exactly) that makes Amarant’s attacks HURT the target, causing my plan to backfire. Necron has sort of a pattern that I still can’t manage to work around; he starts out just sort of pussyfooting around, zapping us with random Blue Shockwaves to knock down our health to 1, but Amarant can quickly remedy that with Healer. However, after that first Grand Cross, it seems like Amarant does no good anymore, so I just have him cast Aura on himself so that when Necron’s next move, the infamous Neutron Ring, wipes us all out, Amarant can at least come back with 1 HP and throw down a few Phoenix Downs. But although my plan does seem to work for a while, it doesn’t last, and thus, I die a bloody death. I’ve tried it without Amarant’s Healer turned on so that he does damage again like normal, but then I’m severely lacking those essential heals he deals, and his Aura. But the maximum damage Amarant can do is limited solely to the more powerful weapons he can throw, like Rising Sun, Razor Wind, Sargentas, Mesamune, Diamond Sword, and Heavy Lance. I’d much rather have a character who doesn’t have to rely on throwing weapons in limited supply to deal acceptable damage, so Steiner would be a great choice ๐Ÿ˜€ I’ll have to level him up a little because my party is all at least ten levels higher than him just from my trek through Memoria.

aces4839
01-12-2011, 06:17 PM
the status effect that would hurt amarant’s target is zombie, which hurts undead by healing. grand cross causes numerous ailment, most which can be canceled out with abilities. the ones to watch for are zombie, reducin to 1 hp and even death. minimize also makes things difficult. if u have angel’s snack learned from quina with remedies in stock, this wont be too terrible.

Succumbed to temptation and started playing FFXIV. Although there are glaring flaws with this game (most notably – confusing GUI, no Auction House, lack of npc shops, equipment wears out too easy, gameplay is almost completely geared towards item synthesis), it still has a lot of potential. And the gameworld is gorgeous.

And it’s not as if it’s costing me anything to play, due to the free trial period being extended indefinitely, so yeah. Plus, given the fact that SE are moving towards addressing the most annoying faults (fixing the GUI and adding an AH/npc stores), hopefully this game should improve considerably. ๐Ÿ™‚

Until SE alters the god damn stupid payment option (as well as fix the multitude of other flaws and even then it’s not 100% as I don’t have a PS3 or PC power enough to run it, and I refuse to buy a PS3 just for that game), FFXIV is a pass for me.

It’s worth playing just for Isaac’s new and improved Stomp move. It was always great fun in the first game to stamp and stomp on everything you could, but it’s even better now. Plus, Isaac’s ‘WRRRRAGHH, HRRRGRAAHHH!’ as he does it is better too!

Literally, all I’ve really done on that game so far is Stomp my way around the levels – it just never gets old!

If you want my code, you’re welcome to it. I never use online extras, anyway. I think you need a copy of the game to input it, but you might be able to do it at EA’s site, maybe? If you can and you want it, just PM me, because I’m never going to use it.

i got the bad ending in 999. it kind of sucks you have to go through the game again to get the other endings, but at least you can speed through non-new text.

999 is an escape game text adventure thing, by the way. lots of reading. if you don’t like escape flash games ("Im stuck in a room!") you will not like it, as that’s its core gameplay mechanic.

i love them and it and we’re a happy family of effed up stories.

did you breeze through the story? i can’t convince myself to do this…isn’t there a secret ship dungeon that you can do because you newgame+’d too?

anyway, it was a fun game

There is. A labyrinth like ship with 100 levels. All you get for completing it… a costume for one of the female characters. Do it again, get a second costume for the same character. No real purpose really. You didn’t need a new game+ to get it though…

anyway, it was a fun game

Not really… but meh, whatever.

Still playing Final Fantasy XI Online, alongside Mass Effect 2. Also finished the Dragon Age II Demo… and I want the full game.

No I didn’t got New Game+ ending since the first time I played it on my ps2 and now on my ps3. And still you don’t breeze through the game I agree. Where I am now the enemies hit like trucks and need jumping to kill them. Takes alot of pots. Ended Chapter 8 now where you where searching for the thingies to place on the tablets and off to Chapter 9.

@ Revan:

Hehe, I don’t know why you didn’t enjoy this game it is excellent imo. But some people may not like it. The battlesystem is great and addicting and the world is beautiful. The story isn’t great but not bad either. It is developed by my favourite company Level 5 and I am kind of a sucker for all there games. Own them all with guides and completed them multiple times (except for the newest Proffessor Layton and the awesome game Inazuma Eleven). Also very excited for there new game Ni No Kuni which will be released both on the DS and the PS3.

On Topic: I’m also playing MvC 3, Blur/Gran Turismo 5 and Fifa 11. Already had Killzone 3 this sunday (my uncle is befriended with the developers) and just finished the campaign and got Bulletstorm yesterday just didn’t had the time to play it yet. Also just finished Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together on my little trip to Antwerp last week.

The battle system was okay, nothing to really write home about. The music was subpar imo, and didn’t really convey across well with what was actually being done ingame. True the worlds are beautiful, but they couldn’t really grab my attention. Areas like the Rosa Labyrinth or Mariglenn, while impressive in their own right, pale in comparison to other areas/cities in other games (The Citadel in Mass Effect, Denerim in Dragon Age, Nar Shaddaa in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II The Sith Lords, the Imperial City in Jade Empire for example were all beautifully designed cities/areas). While the story isn’t great, it’s not that good either… however having said that, it is better than the story in Shadow Madness (I hate that game). All in all, it was a so so game imo.

Apart from Rogue Galaxy, haven’t played any other games by that developer… but meh… to each their own.

You have good reasons to think the game was so so ๐Ÿ˜‰ In the end it is all by personal preferences ofcourse. I also got the soundtrack for this game and I like the music overall. Myself I don’t really compare games that I play to other games I just play them there on the spot and I can enjoy every rpg how bad it may be, that is something I really appreciate because it makes me get the most out of my games.


krissy
02-24-2011, 03:19 AM
the worlds were PRETTY, but they were terribly designed.
it was essentially an on-rails game, and they replaced interesting design with vastness of the environment.
still had a lot of fun, but running for 10 minutes in one direction gets tedious when nothing new appears in the environment

———- Post added at 09:19 PM ———- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ———-

i finished 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors and got all the endings. this is probably the best written game i’ve played recently. never though a text adventure/escape game would rank so high on my list but it’s definitely cemented its place up there.

if you ever plan on playing it, i recommend getting the bad endings first, along with the sub ending. it makes you appreciate everything a whole lot more.

.

Well… I’ve only played about 3 hours of it so far… it does seem to be more heavily influenced in the action area with light RPG elements. Story wise seems pretty good so far, and the menu system is the same as Dragon Age: Origins/Awakening. The battle system, seems to be more like Dynasty Warriors though (basically just hitting the ‘A’ button for basic attacks, then the corresponding ‘X’, ‘Y’ and ‘B’ buttons, with the odd press of ‘R1’ to toggle the talents/spells), in short a lot of button bashing.

Also… take what critics and reviewers say about games in general with a grain of salt. Could be that a game flamed by so called ‘unbiased reviewers’ etc, wherein they hate it etc… you may like it.

All in all, it’s not a bad game… but it’s not really a RPG or even really a Action-RPG imo… Really it’s up to the individual in question if they’ll like it or not.

From what I’ve played of DW7, HUGE improvement over the 6th installment. Seems to be more historically accurate, and combines the battle system (as in, having two weapons per character and can change weapons with ease) and the ‘town’ base from Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce. After I play some more, I’ll have a better opinion of it (only played an hour so far lol).

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) is an excellent RPG with great visual and sounds. Even though the story takes place 1000s of years before any of the movies any fans of the franchise will instantly recognize the worlds, surroundings, people and items in KOTOR.

The game is very much a standard RPG affair. The fighting is actually turn based even though by looking it at you will never be able to tell. This makes the presentation of the fight scene awesome. The sound of blasters and light sabers really does add to presentation of the fight. A lot of the fights you can just enjoy just sitting back and watching your characters run havoc on the enemy. This doesn???t mean the game???s fighting is without challenge. Many times you will have to take an active role by pausing and giving commands to your characters.

The game also features a very interesting light and dark side system, where almost every mission can be solved through different path. The game took about 40 hours to beat the first time through but begs to be played a second time as people react differently depending if you are on the light path or the dark path.

Of course none of this would matter if the game didn???t have an interesting story. The game luckily has an awesome story. Not only is it filled plot twist on a personal level but the story is grand in scale. You get to hear the stories of every member in your party with all there baggage but at the same time you are trying to rescue the entire Galaxy.

KOTOR is an awesome game that is just a big of an Epic as the franchise it is based upon. Any fans of Star Wars will love this game but there is a lot of just good role-playing and story telling for everyone to enjoy.

Was playing some Resident Evil, but I’m done with that and now I’m on Final Fantasy VII for the third time. Overrated or not, this really is a good game. Right now, I’m up to the first encounter with the Midgar Zolom. Well, not really an encounter, since you just dodge him on the chocobo, but still.

After this game, it’s either gonna be FFVI or FFIX. Still not decided.

It’s a very interesting game and it’s quite scary at times, but it can be kinda hard because of the language barrier(It’s in Korean). The English patch will translate the majority of text in the game but the translation has a bit of Engrish here and there.

I’m wrapping up Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Looks like it’s getting to the climax, but I have this stupid barrier, to where I have to control more territories to be able to continue. How annoying, considering I did all that before I was kicked out of Los Santos. So I’m pretty much redoing everything I did at the beginning of the game. hurr. It’s harder this time around because the majority of the NPC’s are rioting, as there are less cars to jack, and gangs to shoot.

It looks as if the game engine was never meant to handle this much action, because the environment is now far more sparse than it’s ever been.

I beat Resident Evil 5 for 360 last night. It. Was. Awesome. Loved the ending. A great way for *SPOILER* to die. You know, I find it far more exhilarating to be fighting a massive boss, close to death, low on ammo, rather than zombie dogs crashing through windows. Just saying.

So I played 16 missions in Sky Kid (an arcade port on the GCN). I have no idea why I subjected myself to that.

I mean, it’s not as bad as I originally thought it was going to be, but it wasn’t that great either. I give it props for being maddeningly difficult, though. That, and the music is maddening, in and of itself.

Dissidia: Duodecim. Holy pluck, what a disappointing story -_- Some good scenes, but nowhere near the kind of quality I hoped for. The three Cosmos characters on Chaos’ side is barely even explored, and felt like it wasn’t even worth doing in the long run. The only one that did seem kind of interesting was Terra; it only makes sense, as Kefka had her under his control in FFVI too–even if only for the beginning sequence. I love the fights and new battlegrounds in this game, but as I hold high expectations for story in any game, this was a total letdown. The scene with Laguna and Cloud of Darkness was a highlight, but other than that I came away indifferent from it. Working on the Thirteenth Cycle now, albeit with a severe lack of motivation now as a.) I’ve already mastered all the original characters so battles aren’t even fun, and b.) I’ve been through their stories twice on the original disc already. But I want to unlock Gilgamesh and Prishe so I’m gonna keep at it. It doesn’t really bother me so much that FFI, II, III, VI and IX didn’t get a new character; they all got a new battleground, and FFI got its entire world map used for traversing the story so I really can’t complain ^^ I’ve yet to see if they implemented any kind of airship into the world map, as I’ve still got three story modes to go, but I doubt it (I deliberately didn’t research the game too much so I wouldn’t spoil it for myself, but the Prishe and Gilgamesh thing I had to check out). Anyway, yeah.

InFAMOUS. My first time playing it and it was quite fun as it reminds me of Crackdown a bit.

Should be interesting to see how this game is when I get around to it. One of the two games I selected from the "Welcome Back" promotion from the PSN. Hoping Dead Nation is good as well.

I use MetaCritic myself.

However, this is one of those games, like God Hand, where reviews mean little to me.

I’ve been playing the shit out of it and loving every moment.
This is best McGee game since…well…hell…the original Alice.
XD

The graphics are amazing – all that style, detail and freaking color I miss.
The music/sounds are great.
The combat is fairly fluid – and the camera doesn’t fight you, like some games…
The voice acting is a little mixed, but overall good and British.

My biggest issue with it is some of the tasks feel the same (like fetch quests).
But given how darn pretty it is, you get over it.

Due to having to format my HDD (and subsequently losing all my game data) to try and install FFXI on my Xbox 360… and only installing PlayOnline Viewer as the FFXI installation screwed up with 22 minutes left to go >.<

Soooo…. until I get a new FFXI disc (which will be hard as the game is discontinued T.T) I’m now rebuilding my Mass Effect Saves for ME3. Planning 6 Shepards to have ready for March going through ME1 and ME2. Think I’ll have plenty of time to get this done.

PS3 and 360 are still broke and tired of playing Brawl since it’s the only thing worthwhile on the Wii, so I’m still going through old titles.
Found a beat up, scratched up copy of Fable for the OG Xbox in a box. Plays fine except some chugs during cutscenes.Not sure if its because of the scratches or it just played like that originally, but enjoying it anyway.
After that it will be between finishing Breakdown, Legacy of Kain: Defiance, or replaying Armed and Dangerous, Timesplitters 2 or Metal Arms.

Recently finished Crisis Core , FFVII, watched ACC and I am now playing Dirge of Cerberus to cap off the Compilation of FFVII experience. I suck so bad at shooters and normally avoid them but just watching all the cutscenes from the event viewer isn’t the same as playing through the game. Fortunately, I was able to carry over my guns from my last play through (back in 2006) using the "new game plus" feature but that also meant that I was stuck playing on Ex-hard mode. So far, I’ve made it to Ch.6 "Deepground Strikes Back" and spent the 200,000 gil needed for the Ultima Weapon, so I am looking forward to using that until Vincent equips the Death Penalty later in the game.

Being able to create your own avatar and interact with others in the SW Universe, set before the Movies was the main draw in I suspect. Personally, I found KotOR to be quite enjoyable, but to each their own.

Just finished my first (of six) playthroughs of Mass Effect, and carried my character over to Mass Effect 2. Having to rebuild my game saves after formatting my HDD sucks… but gives me something to do, at least til Saints Row The Third is released in October.

KOTOR 1 sucks. Big time, I mean, yeah, it’s a nice battle system after all. But the story is one of the most horrible cliche storms ever.

KOTOR 2 on the other hand, a game which I’ve just finished!. IS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there’s a reason to play KotOR 1 is because KotOR 2 exists.

Also, I’m currently playing The Witcher. =D

It’s a shame that KotOR II TSL, was rushed to release and had numerous missing parts to it. Don’t get me wrong, it is a good game… but could’ve been a lot better, as KotOR at least was a complete game upon release. In the upcoming The Old Republic MMO, at least the fates of Revan and The Exile ‘should’ be revealed.

I’ve played it with the Restoration Content Mod, Full of BUGS and crashes, but it was worth the effort.

But the really negative thing that I can say is that the Odyssey Engine does not make justice to this game. Many scenes, as awesome the storyline, characters and voice acting is, the scenes can look too fucking cheezy.

EDIT: Regarding the MMO, I’m not fired up by it at all for several but fully personal reasons.

1- BioWare handling the Storyline. Big Negative.
2-MMO Severe Negative point here.

The rest will speak for itself. Specially the MMO related part.


Darth Revan
06-21-2011, 01:49 AM
Even with the Restoration Content Mod, KotOR II TSL is a good game though just not as good as the first imo. The whole story of Revan, why he did what he did (Yes, it’s confirmed that canonlly speaking Revan is male and The Exile is female), the (second) Sith War within a century (First being led by Exar Kun 50 years prior to the game) and the reasoning behind it and his redemption. Yes, typical sci fi story fare I don’t deny that, but still a worthy installment into the Star Wars saga. KotOR II TSL, follows on from what came before and added more onto the story. I truly wished BioWare had made the third installment… but LucasArts told them to do otherwise hence the MMO.

BioWare can make a good story topopoz, look at some of their other examples. Jade Empire for one, has a good story and the battle system was quite fluid and easy to use as well. Same goes for the Mass Effect, Dragon Age series, Baldur’s Gate II, Neverwinter Nights etc etc etc. Speaking about MMO’s, each person is different and having played multiple MMO’s (EverQuest, WoW, Guild Wars, FFXI etc), each one is different. I’m willing to give BioWare the benefit of the doubt with TOR and give it a chance to impress me. If SE was able to make a story for FFXI (really, multiple stories actually), then so can BioWare with TOR.

I severily disagree with this. But I’m not going to talk about in how many ways I think KOTOR II is better.

The whole story of Revan, why he did what he did (Yes, it’s confirmed that canonlly speaking Revan is male and The Exile is female), the (second) Sith War within a century (First being led by Exar Kun 50 years prior to the game) and the reasoning behind it and his redemption. Yes, typical sci fi story fare I don’t deny that, but still a worthy installment into the Star Wars saga.
You’ve just described me KoTOR 1 only here. And I don’t consider it worthy. Because it was more of the same with paper thin characters. Cliche Storm and Cheezy Dialogues. Besides ANOTHER REDEMPTION STORYLINE?! Are you really serious, how much more does LucasArts want’s to make money out of this? For Except HK-47, Jolee Bindo and Canderous Ordo. Not one character of KoTOR 1 is worth remember.

KotOR II TSL, follows on from what came before and added more onto the story.

Follow what came before yes, But it didn’t only added more story, it made all fucking KOTOR 1 Make sense and created the Depth that needed AND created a wonderful deep storyline that followed with equally and pontentially awesome characters. Breaking and deconstructing every trope and plot device that any star wars entry ever did.
It’s truly a piece of art worth held in a monolith and be recognized and remembered for NOT DOING WHAT ANY STAR WARS MOVIE DID.
And don’t get me wrong, I love every single Star Wars movie, it just that KoTOR 2 did everything I wished to see in a Star Wars Storyline.

I truly wished BioWare had made the third installment…
I truly wished Obsidian made the Third Installment…

but LucasArts told them to do otherwise hence the MMO.
It was only natural to happen.

BioWare can make a good story topopoz.
I’m skeptical.

Jade Empire for one, has a good story and the battle system was quite fluid and easy to use as well.
Disagree, Actually I consider this to be the worst BioWare Game.

Same goes for the Mass Effect
Decent storyline

Dragon Age series
Dragon Age 1 almost feels like Neverwitnter Nights 1

Baldur’s Gate II
Not Played but, I certainly won’t, I hate the Engine and gameplay.

Speaking about MMO’s, each person is different and having played multiple MMO’s (EverQuest, WoW, Guild Wars, FFXI etc), each one is different. I’m willing to give BioWare the benefit of the doubt with TOR and give it a chance to impress me. If SE was able to make a story for FFXI (really, multiple stories actually), then so can BioWare with TOR.

I’ll gave it a chance, Gameplaywise. But I’m not buying the fact that they can make a good storyline that makes sense, considering the extremely high possibility that every little content that they will add in the future will be a pulling stuff right off your ass.

So you see, I like the Idea of a StarWars MMO, but MMO’s aren’t played because of Storyline 99% of the times, Single Player RPG’s are.

Decided to go through my collection, and make sure I’d completed everything I own. So I went back to quite a few games I’d started, but not really gotten into, and gave them all another go.

So I ended up playing Alan Wake, Vanquish, Demon’s Souls and Dead Space: Extraction through to completion (which wasn’t easy in the case of Demon’s Souls, let me tell you…)

But overall, I’m glad I played them. AW is still nowhere near as good as it could have been, but its also not as bad as it seems at first. Vanquish is surprisingly good too, but it feels like its lacking a little something that would make it a truly great game. Demon’s Souls was just awesome once I finally got into it properly, and DS:E was probably the best lightgun game I’ve ever played (which might not be saying much, but it really is a great little game).

Oh, and LA Noire, but that was a bit ‘meh’ IMO. Not a bad game, but not a particularly amazing one either.

Anyway, so how’s that 3DS? And how is Ocarina of Time 3DS? I hope they port Majora’s Mask if they are going to be doing that. MM on the go, w00t!

Dungeon Siege 3 and F.E.A.R 3.

DS3 is surprisingly enjoyable. Its a kind of ‘rubbishy, but still ruggedly playable’ sort of game. Only problem is the price – they’re charging way too much for it. Full whack for what is very obviously a budget game. Shave 20 quid off the asking price, and it’d be fine.

Not played much of FEAR 3 yet. but the signs aren’t good, from what I have played. Going to try and grin and bear it, later on tonight.

Windwaker was awesome. Ocarina of Time 3D is even better. Get it. Love it. You don’t really notice any differences when you play the game, because it’s essentially the same, however when you compare the two side by side, the new character models and textures stand out. It’s excellent. I’m about to go into the Gerudu Desert and get into that dungeon. I’m just flowing in nostalgia right about now. I’m also trying to get into the side quests that I didn’t complete in the original. I’ve gotten all the Big Poes, to boot.

Hmm, it’s weird how many people I’ve seen playing Wind Waker lately. I’ve been playing through it lately and I just found out Garamond has been too.

Anyway, I sort of agree with Purrr about Ocarina of Time. I like the game, but there were a few better games that came out in that generation (Majora’s Mask and METAL GEAR SOLID being just a couple). Playing it now, I usually have a hard time getting through many of the dungeons because I find them really dull. This is especially true for Jabu Jabu’s Belly, maybe one of the worst Zelda dungeons for me.

The overwhelmingly positive reception OoT3D is getting seems to me to just be people not daring to say a bad thing about OoT because of its importance in gaming history. Reviewers are always scared of saying a bad thing about a first party Nintendo game though…

As for whether I prefer Wind Waker or OoT, it’s a pretty tough call. The characters and the world are a lot warmer and funnier in Wind Waker, I think, but rarely do islands feel as significant as a town in OoT. There’s only a few large and well populated islands, which is a shame. However, there are many more secrets and other fine touches in WW, many of which you won’t see unless you visit a location at the right time (Majora’s Mask does this a lot better though, admittedly). I actually don’t find the sailing to be all that tedious since there’s usually something new to see off in the distance. Collecting the triforce pieces is boring though, since you’re revisiting a lot of locations you’ve already seen. Anyway, I can’t really decide whether I prefer OoT or Wind Waker.

I’m also playing through ALttP again, in response to the topic. I’ve never finished the game before and honestly never understood the love it gets. When it comes to 2D Zeldas, I’ve always thought Link’s Awakening and the Oracle games were better. I’ll see if I can get through it this time though.

I played OOT several times up to quite a few years after it first came out, including the remixed dungeons on the GameCube disc, and I never stopped loving it as much as I did the first time. It and MM have my favorite atmosphere of any of the Zelda games, which is a large part of why I can keep replaying it so many times.

Anyway I think certainly some of the games that came after it improved on it in certain ways and it would be stupid if they didn’t. Of course it did have some flaws (I agree with chewey that jabu jabu’s belly is a bad dungeon, and like everyone else I also hate the water temple, but I think I like every other one.) But it doesn’t change the fact that it is a really, really good game and I think it really deserved the hype it got when it came out, and it’s rightly remembered as one of the biggest landmarks in gaming. So in other words I completely disagree with Purrr and think he is wrong.


Maxx Skywalker
07-06-2011, 12:48 AM
Why does the water temple get so much hate. When I first went through it (about four/five years ago), it really wasn’t that bad. Challenging, but not to the point of tedium and frustration. When I went through it again on DS, I felt, once again, that it wasn’t that bad. I agree that Jabu Jabu’s Bellly isn’t the greatest dungeon ever, but I wouldn’t call it bad by any means. When I played Kingdom Hearts, the Whale’s Belly reminded me so much of this dungeon. Good times.

In Windwaker, I enjoyed sailing around. Didn’t find it tedious, or boring at all. In fact, I reveled in the freedom that the open expanse of the water gave me.

Majora’s Mask is my favorite. It’s my first Zelda, so it get props for that. Loved the three day cycle.

i despise water temple for the "backtracking" you had to do, specially if you fucked up the water level.
however, i also like it because you face shadow link (to hell with "dark link" bullshit, this is a shadow), the only enemy in the entire fucking zeldaverse that is on par with you (unless you pussied out and use the hammer).

however, zelda ALTTP is a much better game, its longer, a better story and its harder.

I noticed I had a connectivity problem with another shriner here when we were tying to play RE5. It could never connect to him for some strange reason. It may have something to do with the ports, but I wasn’t willing to tinker with the router settings to figure it out.

After a few play throughs on the first stage, it seems simple enough. I would say that aiming is not the most accurate either. The stupid hints says aim using the RS, but it doesn’t aim accurate for crap, so I just use the LS. Still trying to obtain the "Skilled" trophy on the first stage on "Braindead", but it’s proving to be a bit more difficult than I expected. Pretty close to perfecting a run though.

It’s not a difficulty issue with the water temple, it’s just annoying.

the NES Zeldas were only hard because of random stuff with no guidance. Many secrets are literally impossible to find by any method other than trial and error. There’s a reason that approach has been abandoned, as amazing as Zelda 1 was it was not very fun to walk around trying to burn every single bush in the game hoping you’d get somewhere and then finding it’s just another guy who gives you 40 rupees you don’t need.

although zelda 2’s combat was actually hard too sometimes if I remember right. I never finished it because I couldn’t find the next dungeon at some point and didn’t like it enough to look it up. Still it was not that brutal by NES standards. Doesn’t even approach battletoads.

I cannot believe how much Akira Yamaoka phoned it in. The whole thing sounds like a poor man’s Silent Hill and it doesn’t even fit the tone of the game. All the trailers had this music that made it sound like this heavy metal soundtrack, which the game doesn’t even have (and desperately needs). The actual game is pretty underwhelming too… I expected more I suppose.

That’s really putting me off on Zelda games.

Zelda II: Adventure of Link was the black sheep (they say). Not all of them are like that, thankfully! Most Zelda fans will agree Zelda II is the hardest of the series. If you die, you start from the beginning area–regardless of how many hours you’ve just exhausted to progress through endless treachery. I remember it was a real change from playing the original; suddenly you’re thrust into a whole new playing field where they’ve really upped the ante a notch or ten :-/ IMO, the best Zelda to start with is A Link to the Past, then the original, then Zelda II (unless you don’t have the patience for hard games; in that case, I’d advise you steer clear of it entirely!). That’s the chronological order anyway. ๐Ÿ™‚

Zelda II: Adventure of Link was the black sheep (they say). Not all of them are like that, thankfully! Most Zelda fans will agree Zelda II is the hardest of the series. If you die, you start from the beginning area–regardless of how many hours you’ve just exhausted to progress through endless treachery. I remember it was a real change from playing the original; suddenly you’re thrust into a whole new playing field where they’ve really upped the ante a notch or ten :-/ IMO, the best Zelda to start with is A Link to the Past, then the original, then Zelda II (unless you don’t have the patience for hard games; in that case, I’d advise you steer clear of it entirely!). That’s the chronological order anyway. ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks for the information, man.

He’d made it sound like he hadn’t. Though I’d venture and say that Ocarina of Time is the better of the games to start. In fact, I’d go so far to say that the 3DS version is probably best for anyone wanting to start their first Zelda title. The NES titles should be saved for last, simply because they are indeed the hardest of them all. I also highly suggest staying away from Sword of Gamalon or Zelda’s Adventure. Just saying.

Moving on. I’ve been playing this recently:

This game is so open-ended and non-linear it’s crazy. I don’t even know what I’m doing half the time. They throw you into world known simply as ‘Dead Side’ with an objective to collect Dark Souls to prevent the ‘Five’ (a host of murderers and psychopaths) from amassing an undead army to bring on the Apocalypse. The premise is intriguing thus far, but once you get to Dead Side, there’s no real direction. You run around killing creatures till you run into a dead end. You turn around, and find another path, which in turn, turns out to be another dead end. So move onto the other area. Another dead end.

Collecting Dark Souls allows you access to more areas of the game, expanding it even further. I’ve managed to come across an upgrade that allows me to grab onto ledges with fire which opens up yet more areas.

I’ve also collected some weapons and a piece of an artifact, that when completed, will allow me to use Dead Side powers Live Side (the real world). Apparently those are hidden even deeper in Dead Side.

I’m enjoying it so far, but a little direction here and there would be nice. Right now I’m just aimlessly wandering around a dead wasteland filled with creatures that would like to kill me.

Maxx:
Good choice in Shadowman – now that was a great game. One of the hardest games I’ve ever played too, which is crazy really, considering you can’t actually die! But seriously, the level of mental agony you have to endure to get all the bits and bobs on some of the levels (the ones with lava particularly), nearly killed in real life! I mean, it really drove me *insane* at times…

And hell, that game is seriously disturbed too, but well… that’s great, isn’t it?

My only real issue with it was that there is no real point to playing as Liveside Mike LeRoi. He can’t hurt the bosses (at all) in this form, he’s weaker and doesn’t have Shadowman’s abilities. Its a real shame, because the levels where the bosses are hanging out, are so much more exciting if you play as Mike (because they know you can’t hurt them, so they hunt you through the levels, toying with you etc).

An awesome experience, even if the controls and graphics were unremarkable. Shame the sequel was one of the worst games ever.


Maxx Skywalker
07-19-2011, 06:22 AM
Yeah, it was a joy kill when I found out that I couldn’t do squat against the bosses as normal Mike. What? What’s the point of me even being here? I have to go and gather more artifacts to even be able to touch them? That’s a bunch of BS if you ask me. Fun BS no less. As much as I’m complaining about this game, it’s really not bad at all. The platforming elements are engaging enough to keep me going for the next Dark Soul, as they are tucked away in the hardest to reach places. Teasing you from a distance.

My eyes are burning from playing it on an HD TV though. I think I spent a good four hours on it today, and my eyes are hating me for it.

I’m still playing Lost Planet 2. () I’ve finished the campaign on normal and I’m going through the good bits again on hard now. When I can be bothered, I’ll finish up the shittier chapters so I can unlock the Extreme difficulty, which should be fun.

This game has the worst achievements I’ve ever seen though. I’ve put around 18 hours into the game so far and that’s got me around 190 points from 16 achievements or something. Those are just the easy achievements, really. Most require you to do insane things, like one that has you basically play through the game 14 and a half times. Considering I’m not all that far from unlocking most of the content in the game, I can’t see myself sticking with the game long enough to do that. Apparently only a few people have completed the game 100 percent, even now.

Rokusho:
Is there some kind of big differance between idiocy and stupidity that you seperate them? And I know its hard to understand, but IMO means ‘In My Opinion’ – obscure I know, how could you possibly have known what it meant…

Grow up, friend. If you have a defence to make of LA Noire, then do it, instead of wasting everybody’s time.

LA Noire is a decent game that I enjoyed for what it was, but nothing more. Police Quest is a proper police simulator, whereas LA Noire is just a 3D version of Ace Attorney Investigations with some shoot-outs and (many, many) chase sequences. Same investigation and interrogation controls, same plot structure (1: Tutorial, 2: First proper case where you meet key characters, 3: case unrelated to main story to fill out your character’s CV, 4: game changing scenario and big revelations, 5: final resolution of plot threads).

Not that the structure is as well executed as in the AA games. LA Noire’s main story doesn’t even start until Chapter 4 of 5, which would be fine if the opening chapters were spent exploring the characters – but they aren’t.

The cases are insanely repetitive, the storytelling lazy and terribly paced (the Homicide desk chapter in particular is one of the most mis-conceived ideas I have ever seen). And considering the game is allegedly supposed to be Film Noir, it is nothing of the sort. The ending introduces a character who actually is does fit the Film Noir template, and who actually does have a spine.

And the constant holding back of information, time skips to avoid explanation of arrests which don’t make any sense at all, and railroading of choosing which suspects to arrest in the first place, is criminal… Its like ‘Why even pretend this game allows you to do detective work, when the story just plays itself out regardless?’

You don’t even get punished for being a bad detective and missing clues, or messing up interrogations! The game just says ‘Never mind, it was this guy – go arrest him!’ So you get a lower star rating – big frickin deal. I’m sure real life cops wish it was this easy…

If they trimmed down the absurdly overlong Homicide desk, tightened up the storytelling and gave us some more reasons to care about the impossibly stiff Cole Phelps at all, then LA Noire would have been much better IMO. More depth in terms of story and investigation methodology would have been nice too, but that’s never going to happen these days.

Anyway, I’m currently playing Portal 2.

On my experience, I’ve really enjoyed LA Noire and I think it’s a great game. But I can understand why you don’t like it as much as Police Quest(I’ve never played Police Quest, but I’ve seen screen shots of it). ๐Ÿ™‚


Vrykolas
08-09-2011, 12:32 AM
And let’s be fair, I’m not blind – nostalgia is a factor for me here, of course.

I’m not saying that LA Noire is just rubbish (its a perfectly acceptable experience) and I’m not saying that Police Quest was amazing in every single way. I’m just saying that as a game where you play as a copper and later as a detective, I found PQ the superior experience. (But like all old games, you have to take them for the experience they offered, given the technology they had available – if Police Quest was remade now with today’s tech, then that would really be something).

Pacing is my real issue with LA:N, as I mentioned before. I just think the game shoots itself in the foot big time with that Homicide desk section. If the cases were going to be set up like that, I’d want to see Cole investigating on his own time, visiting the guys who are getting locked up, doing some digging to try and understand what’s really going on etc.

If we’d just seen some more fight from Cole over what was happening, instead of ineffectual bitching to his partner, and seen how it was stressing him out etc, it would have been great. But we get none of that, so it just feels like a massive cheat, with the writers deliberately keeping us (and Cole) from asking the obvious questions etc.

It may suit his character to back down to his superiors, but they drag it out too far. There’s only so much of that cop-out (no pun intended) attitude I can take from my Hero, especially when he’s preaching the Gospel according to Cole Phelps to his (really not very corrupt at all) colleagues. Some people complain about the ending, but I was overjoyed to finally have some backbone in my hero.

But hey, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I do think its a decent game; its just not anywhere near the game I was hoping it would be.

And to be fair, if anyone came up to me saying they thought Police Quest: SWAT was a great game, I’d ask to see their copy and then beat them to death with it. Police Quest stops being good after Police Quest 3: The Kindred (that’s when orginal writer Jim Walls left Sierra).

The games that followed (Police Quest: Open Season and the SWAT series) are abominations – if you know of any copies in circulation, back away slowly and report them to the police bomb squad immediately. You just can’t be too careful with such toxic material.

Nothing wrong with liking JRPG’s over WRPG’s… at least you’ve given them a shot, which is something not a lot would. I used to play JRPG’s whenever I could get my hands on them… but now (being the old bastard I am), I’ve fallen out of touch with them. I personally find WRPG’s to be far more enjoyable then JRPG’s now… but that’s just me.

Mass Effect is quite a good RPG. You should Really try KOTOR II: The Sith Lords.

Dear oh dear… we gonna have a debate now topopoz? lol Just kidding… KotOR II The Sith Lords is a great game, minus it’s flaws (which can be patched). I do prefer the original but that’s just me :p

Not sure if you have a 360 but I highly recommend giving Lost Odyssey a try. It may be slow in the beginning (I think the first town and a little after but when you know you’re way around it won’t take that long at all). The only JRPG’s I used to play before picking this up was the usual Final Fantasy games (except XI and XIII) so it was a while and this game I found refreshing after those WRPGs. Some may not like the turn-based battle system but that was the first system I got used to when I started playing JRPGs with FFVII and VIII.

As for my list:
Final Fantasy VIII (PSP)
Halo 2 (Xbox/360) online using XBC
CoD Black Ops (360)
UMK3 (360)
Halo Reach (360)
Spending most of my time playing FFVIII and when my buddies are online then it alternates with either CoD, Halo, or both (because there’s nothing really else to play that we all have).

I wasn’t that fussed with Lost Odyssesy either, and couldn’t bring myself to finish it the first time. But I eventually came back to it more than a year later, when I was doing a sweep of my collection, making sure I’d completed everything I own.

Whilst I wouldn’t say it was one of the better JRPGs I’ve played, I suppose it is better than I originally thought. The game gets into a pretty good groove on Disc 3, and it manages to wrap things up fairly well in the end. Basically, the second half of the game is much better than the first half – something is usually the other way round in JRPGs, in my experience.

Maybe so… but the game is nowhere near to being a complete game as FFXI, WoW or any other game was when they were initially released.

It’s actually not horrible. Just a watered down top down hack and slash RPG for little kids. The Story takes place right after season 1 about a new machinist that the Fire Nation is using to make war machines for but because season 2 hadn’t been fully made yet there are a bunch of things that are kinda off like Zuko still hunting you with a full Fire Nation battalion, Omahsu being the capitol of the Earth Kingdom and not Ba Sing Se, Horu is you’re earthbender, no Toph, and so far no Uncle.

All the characters are voiced by their original actor and the script ranges form kinda dumb to pretty funny.

The animation on the other hand is kinda…. off. It looks like a "Chop Kick Panda" or "Ratatoing" to Last Airbender but it’s the real character designs and the actual voices. Luckily there’s only a few animations like that between levels.

The game play itself is a basic run around killing things to gain experience and get stronger moves while finding better equipment. 1 button for attacking, 1 for blocking, hold down a shoulder button and the 4 face buttons are used for your special attacks. No jump button though.

I do have to say that this game does what I’ve never seen any other game do. Something that should be in most if not all games in this style.
The ability to take out the skill points and move them around and play with your powers and abilities with no penalty. It’s supper fun to be able to experiment with different combinations of powers and not have to worry that you invested all your best shit on something you’re never going to use or that will become obsolete by the next world.

Also this game is for the most part pretty easy. Your life auto restores very fast along with your Chi and once you have all 4 guys going there’s never a need to heal.

But on the other hand the menu navigation is both easy and complicated and the map is just a big overworld map with no fine street and path details plus zero markers for things like shops, saves, or quest objectives. You get green arrows pointing in the general direction but no way to know what to go to first. it’s also far too easy to finish the main quest and move onto the next area before finishing the side quests.

Worst thing about it; 4 characters who are best buds fighting side by side and it’s 1 player only, no multi player.

No, it’s still pretty bad. It still has a lot of lag issues, you’re still running around on large empty fields for quests and there’s still no auction house. There are a lot of large posts on the official forums from people who have played from the start who are saying the game has improved but not enough to make it a good game.

Opinions of 14 were never mixed, really. They were pretty much always largely negative.

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

This is a huge time waster.
I was just going to do a few missions and maybe bring a taxi back to home base so I could do fairs and stuff but I found a few new tags, then I acidentaly clipped a police bike after being slammed into while backing up and had to drive off and hide. After Hiding I got lost and ended up on the highway and while changing lanes got slammed into the next lane but the cars just kept coming and piling up while they banged into each other. eventually they started to explode and everyone was dying but that meant they dropped money and weapons but when I went to get the goods I got set on fire but stop drop and roll works but because I had to equip a gun to do the roll the police came after me and I shot them and then shot a car gas tank which brought more police, and ambulance and a fire truck but no one could rescue or arrest anyone because the firetruck was hosing everyone down and knocking them to the ground. I ended up having to walk to the country part to the north and took a truck back into town but as I was heading home to safe and quit I found the Pimpmobile and got enough tricks done to pass 10,000. I would have gotten more but one of the john’s was hurting my ho and me and her engaged him in fisticufs but this part always happens in one of the densely populated areas so while I was waiting for her to get in a cop just pulled me out and I lost all my guns. So I was headed back home when the Grapasaurus Rex Gang started to shot me and I had to take the long way home. After Saving I drove around and checked out the cheapest houses and went with the one with a garage so I could have a mixture of job cars stored here and there.

Play time 3 hours.

I could dig that. We also need some angels fighting demons, because they’re essentially God’s army. I don’t see why a hack ‘n slash in the vein of *gasp* God of War would be a bad idea. Though I really don’t see Dante’s Inferno as counting as something I’m looking for, as that’s more of a journey into Hell rather than using Biblical text as inspiration for a video game. In fact using the Old Testament as a foundation could work really well. You do realize there is quite a bit of violence in the OT, right?

Oh, and I’ve been playing a ton of Minecraft lately. Not much of anything else as I’m gathering materials to start constructing a couple of skyscrapers to add to my town. Finally got my hands on obsidian and diamonds.

I completed ShadowMan last night. An excellent game. The game was long, if not a little too easy when it came to the bosses, especially Legion. The difficulty came from the lack of direction and leaving you dead ends when you didn’t have a particular item to progress further. Probably the most annoying part of the game. Otherwise, I had an excellent time getting through the game. And I absolutely love the reward for getting all the Dark Souls.

So now that that’s taken care of, I’m going to move on to this:

Hey max,you a fan of deathspank or something?

I played the demo and it seemed like fun just because of how funny it could be.

I suppose if I wasn’t a fan of the games, I don’t think I would have taken the time to make a signature and avatar with DeathSpank prominently displayed in the center of the profile. Just saying.

Lately I have beaten Army Men: Sarge’s War (GCN), and then I blasted through S.T.U.N Runner (GCN). It says I get a free T-shirt for beating the game, but alas the offer expired Apr. 1st 1991. I couldn’t tell you if that was supposed to be a April Fool’s joke or not, but I’d like to get my hands on one of them.

I’ve also started this:

Actually it’s a huge improvement over the debacle that is Dynasty Warriors 6… only Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires redeemed that installment… though not by much. The seventh installment is pretty decent, the battlefields are similar to the ones in DW6, but more detailed. A lot more new characters this time and a ‘Conquest Mode’, which is somewhat similar to the Empires games in the series, but more streamlined.

A port. You’d be surprised how well it translated to console. You’d also be surprised by how many bugs and framerate issues it has.

I had to play it once on PS2, because I couldn’t get the damn thing to work on my video card no matter how hard I tried. There’s no difference compared to the PC version, just a different UI and a pretty sweet CGI movie of the opening video.

First impressions (as in only a hour or so of play) of Dead Island are generally positive.

The way your character moves feels a bit strange (you sort of seem to glide along, like you’re levitating just off the ground), but otherwise, it seems quite sound. Game looks very nice indeed, and the setting is far more to my liking than most zombie games/movies etc (i.e its played deadly serious, and not for cheap laughs – feels a lot like Bioshock).

Didn’t have much time to play it today, so that’s all I’ve got at the moment, but it does seem like a game that I’m going to get along with just fine. And that’s surprising, as I’m not much for zombies, usually.

The chief problem with games like Space Marine and Dead Island (i.e decent but still pretty much B list) is cost – if they charged less for these kinds of titles, they’d sell by the truckload through positive word of mouth, and nobody would feel short changed.

Alas, this industry is less about ‘You get what you pay for’ and more about ‘We’ll take ’em for what we think we can get’.

Currently I’m enjoying the God of War series. I’ve had the Collection for about a year now and I picked up 3 for cheap at EB Games’ sale. The games are really good but insanely frustrating in parts. Kratos is such a fun character to play as!

When I saw the preview for Dead Island, it looked good. Has anyone who has had a chance to play this think it’s worth buying? Sort of on the fence about it.
Slow response, but the game isn’t very good if you play it alone. It’s really only fun if you play it multiplayer.

Resistance 3 (great fucking game that makes up for Resistance 2 in so many ways!) and the Third Birthday (My expectations were low which makes this game good)

I don’t think I’ll be getting Dead Island, but I may be renting it from the Redbox soon, however, if you have Dead Nation we can team up in that game.

I think an Enderman has been digging away at my castle wall, as there are some random blocks missing from the structure. I should probably put some lightstone blocks in there, that way there will be less mobs spawning in the hollow structure.

PSPs are getting pretty cheap. It’s worth getting one since it has a fair few fun games and does the whole emulation thing pretty well.

I liked Valkyria Chronicles 2 more than the first. People complain about the story and characters in the sequels, but I really don’t think it was ever any better in the original. The story is definitely the weak point of the series for me.

I can’t guarantee you’ll like it. It’s first and foremost a puzzle game, and a damn good one at that. The story seems incosisent at times and it’s difficult to keep your interest in it because it’s very clearly divided into the nightmare/puzzle and bar/NPC-interaction sections. It’s absolutely worth checking out mostly because it’s unlike anything you’ve ever played and it tackles the issue of love and relationships better than any other game I’ve seen. I paid a lot of money to import it from the Canada a few days after it came out and I don’t regret it onebit. But that’s because Catherine was exactly the kind of game for me and I can’t guarantee the same for you. I definitely recommend it for the puzzle gameplay, that part is top-notch, among the best of the best, but the story, while good, has some questionable bits, which I’m not going to mention (spoilers). If there’s anything at all you’d like to ask, I’d be more than happy to answer, hit me with a PM.

I bought it a few days ago with the purpose of playing it right away. It came in the mail today, so I’ve started going through. It took me longer to go through the first stage than in either of the previous MegaMan X games. Either it’s because the game likes to be cheap, or I’m rusty at my MegaMans skeelz.

Either way, it’s fun. Though, I’ll tell you that the VO could be a lot better. They shoulda used the same voice actor to play X, as they did in the prequel anime. Now X sounds emotionless, Zero sounds like Master Chief, and Axl would be far less annoying if you could skip the dialog.

In fact, there was supposed to be a 4th in the series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettai_Zetsumei_Toshi_4:_Summer_Memories) for the ps3 but it got canceled in March, due to the hurricanes and earthquakes in Japan.

I’ve been through the other six titles plus all of the Original Series. I’ve been going through them in order, so I haven’t experienced last generation’s MegaMan titles just yet. For a game I came cold into (without prior knowledge of reviews), I really don’t think it’s all that bad.

As an aside, it’s too bad MM: Legends 3D was canceled. This makes me a sad panda.

The one thing I truly do like about Star Trek, was the design of the starships and the battles (Looking at season 7 of Star Trek Deep Space Nine here, for the battle of the Dominion vs the Alpha Quadrant. A whole season which was about 80% space battles…).

After I’ve had my fill of spacing Klingons, blitzkreiging Romulans and annihilating Borg, I’ll give Assassin’s Creed a try. If I don’t like it… got plenty of preorders I could trade it towards…

FF3 is the worst of the series IMO – the difficulty of reviving party members when they go down nearly killed me, never mind my characters!

Anyway, I hopped back onto Fallout: New Vegas to mop up the last DLC, Lonesome Road. Have to say it was very disappointing, and probably the worst of the 4 DLC packs. It feels really rushed and thrown together compared to the other 3, which were all pretty solid (Honest Hearts could have been better, but it still beats Lonesome Road).

FF3 is the worst of the series IMO – the difficulty of reviving party members when they go down nearly killed me, never mind my characters!
I only just got around to playing FF3 a few months ago. I played the fans translated NES version, since the DS version sounded painfully slow. I thought it was easily the best of the first three games. It has a Dragon Quest feel to it that I really like.

As for 13, it isn’t really the worst of the series. For most people, I’d say 13 is better than most of the early games. The early games have some pretty clunky gameplay that anybody new to the series just isn’t going to want to put up with.

This is how I’d list the series from best to worst, right now

12 > 9 > 10 = 10-2 > 7 > 8 > 5 > 4 > 13 > 6 > 3 > 1 > 2
My opinion on this changes all the time though.


Vrykolas
09-26-2011, 02:43 PM
I haven’t played FF1, and only a couple of hours of FF2 (but that was enough!) The issue I had with FF3, was that when people get KO’d, it is all but impossible to raise them again, without an unusual amount of effort. There are hardly any phoenix downs, and no Life spells that I remember (not early on, anyway).

Together with the totally personality-free party of ‘characters’ (other than the mage kid, who is actively annoying), that game was a joyless chore.


chewey
09-26-2011, 03:19 PM
Did you play the NES or the DS version? The characters weren’t all that dull in the fan translation, but their personality could have easily been injected.

As for the death problem, most towns I went to had a spring that would revive dead characters. If I remember correctly, you might even be able to revive fallen party members at a chuch DQ-style. I can’t remember, since I only played it for maybe 4 hours a few months ago.


CC
09-26-2011, 07:09 PM
As far as FFIII goes, I agree with their decision to give the characters an identity (as opposed to nameless ‘Onion Knights’) but it does seem to be a wasted effort considering they still have zero individuality :-/ What little is there is monotonously clich??? and uninspiring. But, they were remaking it in light of the original, to appease both old and new fans. I think what we got is fine, considering the old FFs are all about the gameplay anyway, and III is the most challenging of the initial three IMO. I’m probably a little more spoiled with easier games that have more story, which is why I’m not as able to get into FFIII, but I can still appreciate what they tried to do and I think the figures speak for themselves; SE executed a winning formula. Chewey said it, but I’ll reiterate; towns in the first three FFs all conveniently come equipped with a handy chapel to raise those fallen freedom fighters from the grave (except, he didn’t say it douchily like I did >.<). I have never beaten FFIII, but I’m far enough to say it is probably my least favorite of the series, as of now. Like Chewey, my favorites change constantly. Right now X’s my favorite–although that could just be the jitters from the recent news of the HD remake (or port, whatever you wanna call it) for PS3 and Vita.

Being able to revive in a church (I can’t remember if you can do this either, its been ages since I played it), doesn’t help in the middle of fights though, does it? Later on in the game, dungeons get very long, you’re being constantly barraged with random battles, and the save points are often miles apart (and there are some really long dungeons, with tough bosses and no save points).

Having character KO being so severe under these circumstances (in what is already a very hard game), slowly wore me down, until I just couldn’t go on. I like a challenge, but FF3 was just brutal.

Finally earned the last 4 achievements for Dragon Age II (Master Craftsman, Supplier, Chantry Historian and Secret Achievement (Mage Hunter))… until "Mark of the Assassin" DLC comes out on the 11th of October…

So… still playing the odd skirmish match in Star Trek Legacy, but it’s get boring PDQ solo. Decided to go and try to earn either the Insanity achievement for Mass Effect 2 or AI Hacking/Hardcore/Insanity achievement for Mass Effect.

Come on, you’re killing me here Rev – you’ve not played through ME1 on Hardcore?! That’s the only way to play!

I don’t mean that in a snobbish, ‘you should only play games on hard’ way – just that Mass Effect is 10 times more fun on Hardcore. Its a proper challenge, but never an unfair one. You actually have to manage your squad’s powers and upgrades properly, lure enemies into firezones, choose squad members who are going to be more useful than others etc etc.

Seriously, play on Hardcore and you’ll *never* want to play on it on an easier setting ever again. Insanity is just ridiculous though (in both games), and the difficulty slows your progress down so much, that the game is no longer enjoyable. Its just a massive grind, for inches of progress at a time.

lol, I know… I should’ve had the Hardcore achievement ages ago for Mass Effect… just other games came out, and I kinda forgot about it. So put your mind at rest Vry, I’m playing Mass Effect now on Hardcore and I intend to GET the Hardcore achievement… and the AI Hacking one as well…

I made the mistake of not sticking to either Paragon or Renegade on my first Hardcore playthrough, so I actually had to fight Saren at the end. Oh Boy, was that an epic struggle! He’s so much harder at the end, than he is on Virmire. His shields regen like *instantly*!

(Saren/Sovereign is still just as easy as always if you take anyone with Lift though (which you shouldn’t really do, at least against him, as its practically cheating).

AI Hacking was one of the last Achievements I got too, simply because there are always better things to be doing to AI opponents (like shooting them, for instance!) I got it on Ilos, right at the start. I hid behind the starting set of pillars, ordered my team mates behind the Mako and told them to stay there, then let a Geth Solider approach. He never moves past the pillar, just stays at the other end on it, inches from you, firing away.

So I just kept poking out and hacking him for about half an hour, until I got the nod!

And I wouldn’t know about COD – that series is the epitome of yearly update, cookie cutter hack work.

I’ll give that a try, think I have a save file on a earlier Shepard on Ilos too… and thanks for the ‘Lift’ tip against Saren… never used that before, so I’ll give it a try ^^ (Won’t be as easy as one shotting the Reaper Core on the Dead Reaper in ME2 to get the IFF with the Cain… but if it makes it easier, I’m down with it. I just want that damn achievement and unlock Insanity >.<)

09-28-2011, 02:58 AM
Lift only works on Saren/Sovereign (i.e the very last fight, when Saren’s corpse has been possessed). It doesn’t work at all on regular Saren on his skyboard. Phasic rounds and the like are the way to go against him, if you actually fight him at the end.

Which you usually don’t have to, because you can Paragon/Renegade persuade him, but I was too neutral to do that on my first Hardcore playthrough. Basically, I wanted every last XP point I could lay my hands on, and decided not to use Paragon/Renegade persuades to avoid fights etc throughout the game, so by the end, I didn’t have enough to force him to commit suicide.

And he was a real bastard, I tell you now. He’s still pretty easy on Virmire, but his shield regen rate in the Council Chamber fight is just insane. Because he’s zipping all over the place ruining your aim, jamming your guns and replenishing his shields in the blink of an eye, he’s controller crushingly annoying!

Turok as in the first Turok game? The one with that crazy series of pillars you had to jump across to get part of the Chronosceptre? Just thinking about that damn part gives me the chills. But it sure did make the Campaigner a lot easier to beat, so it was worth it in the end.

CC
09-28-2011, 04:25 AM
Not only that, but a series of pillars at the end of level three each requiring near-transhuman speed and agility to reach >.< Yes, Turok 1 is an amazing game–a major percentage of my childhood! It was the game that desensitized me to graphic violence and, well, violence in general.

For taking an obscure comic book hero and turning his tale into an epic shooter without much story exposition at all, Acclaim deserves all the praise and more that the game earned them ๐Ÿ™‚ I swear, Turok 1, 2, and 3 is one of the best trilogies in gaming I’ve ever played, what with the increasingly well-executed progression in graphics, story, characterization, action, controls–everything. Not that the changes between installments are monumentally noticeable, of course, but each feels far more polished than the last (as it should be, I suppose).

I used to go all-out with cheat codes as a kid once I’d beat each game, but my gaming tastes have changed nowadays and I prefer not to spoil the authenticity with cheat codes ๐Ÿ™‚ Much as I love Bioshock, it sure is nice to play a game with real challenge where you can actually die sometimes :laugh:

Indeed I do as well ^^ Turok games have kickass soundtracks; particularly the Ancient Village theme, the Lost Land / Final Confrontation overworld theme and the Primagen’s Lightship theme from Turok 2. Truly badass tunes that every shooter fan should know. Something about those ethereal tribal drums and horns is just so fitting for a game where alien, dinosaur and man unite. I haven’t even played N64 since about 2007 (not counting the stint in Michigan where I turned on my ex’s N64 to erase the bitch’s data) and the Turok trilogy popped immediately into my head ๐Ÿ™‚ No more cheat codes; I’m goin’ in with guns blazin’ and I ain’t quittin’ till I’ve slit every last raptor’s throat with mah knife if I has ta!!!

Turok 2 was my favourite – that game was practically welded into my N64 for months after I bought it! I love the various worlds and baddies in that game, and its just a shame that the N64’s technology found it a bit difficult to cope with the game at times. And yeah, with all those HD remakes, I’d be well up for a Turok Trilogy HD makeover.

And Bioshock as well – does the good taste on this thread know no bounds?! Still in my Top 5 from this entire Gen of consoles.

Yes, or rather I did have it until about a fortnight ago – I recently had to chuck a load of stuff out, because my house can only hold so much, and I figured that there was no real point hanging onto my N64 anymore, as I’d never be likely to use it again.

Man, that was a sad day. But the fact is, the best N64 games are pretty much all available elsewhere now (on the various DS consoles primarily), and I needed the space. So a Turok 2 makeover (or Turok Trilogy) would be heartily appreciated.

The game is considerably harder than other MMX games. While most people think it was downright awful, it was enjoyable to a certain degree. The soundtrack was pretty good as well. I think you may enjoy X8 better though if you haven’t played it yet.

After having some quality time with this game, I now have something to say to those who think this game is too difficult: If you think MegaMan X7 is too hard, then you should play through all the Original Series MegaMan games, and then all the earlier MegaMan X titles, cause I can tell you one thing, MMX7 is far more forgiving than any of those other titles. Heck, even the boss rush allows you to continue from where you left off, even when you game over. Or when you game over, you spawn at your most recent checkpoint within a level, not at the beginning of the level like every other MegaMan title. Sure it’s harder than your average third person shooter, but it’s not quite as difficult as those earlier games. ๐Ÿ˜›

Sigma is a pain in the ass,but that whole thing where he wall jumps up,can be avoided really easy.
I ended up being good at avoiding damage in the second part of the final battle in mmX.

The final part,i found out that you could jump on sigma’s hands by wall jumping,and running away towards the hands to avoid his fire attack.
Oh yeah:You have to obviously watch out for his hands which attack you and also have a lightning attack.

There is a pattern for taking out Sigma’s robot dog using the ice weapon. My very first attempt at fighting it was difficult, but once you figure out it’s pattern, it’s pretty easy.

As for the final version of Sigma, charge up the Shield weapon and have it surround you and then jump near Sigma’s head. Takes him out in 4 or 5 touches.

I don’t think I’ve actually finished the first one on my own, but I do remember playing it when I was a little young and that ghost girl with pale white eyes scared me when I first entered that one room on the ship(the room where that had two stairs and a power box). She literally popped up in front of me and that scared me so bad(strangely, it happens at complete random because I remember times that it didn’t happen). I’m getting the chills just remembering that. I feel traumatized lol. :p

So far, the spin-off is creeping me out, mainly because I’m expecting something to happen and it’s just complete silence 90% percent of the time except hearing my own footsteps and breathing.

A lady in New Ashos gives you that quest. I posted that before I finished the quest, though. It was pretty disappointing, the "mutated-umbrellas" looked just like regular monsters, I was expecting something a bit more creative.

There’s another quest though, where a woman is haunted by the spirits of her former lovers and you have to help her get rid of their spirits. Let’s just say she has quite a unique taste in partners ๐Ÿ˜‰

Replaying Persona 3 and trying to get going with Dark Souls.

But well, Dark Souls is proving to be a real pain. I really enjoyed Demon’s Souls, primarily because of the excellent first world and great atmosphere. There wasn’t much story, but there was enough to be going on with, and what little there was, was pretty good. But Dark Souls doesn’t seem to have that same X factor. There hardly seems to be any story at all this time (at least not at the start anyway), the locations are okayish but largely unimpressive so far. And whilst you can technically choose from a number of different roads to take, all but one are basically impossible because the basic enemies are far too tough and one shot you.

This is quite different from Demon’s Souls, where you had a choice of several different worlds, and at least 3 of them were viable even at the start of the game. Its true that you had to complete the first bit of the first world to get access to them, but that wasn’t so bad as Boletaria Palace is the best world anyway, IMO. In contrast, Undead Burg is a very drab, unenjoyable opening level.

I’ll probably try and stick with it, seeing as how it took me many attempts before I finally ‘got’ Demon’s Souls (and became utterly hooked). At the moment though, Dark Souls is proving to be a bit too much effort for a bit too sparse reward.

I don’t know why you think the first world in Demon’s Souls is the best. Every single one of them had such intricate design, in every sense, that I loved them all. The most majestic of them all was arguably the Tower of Latria.

As for Dark Souls, I hope you’re having fun. I won’t be playing it until summer comes along ๐Ÿ™


Vrykolas
10-15-2011, 07:38 PM
Well, each to their own but I thought the Mines, Storm Shrine and particularly the Valley of Defilement were all utterly drab and standard issue environments. Boletaria Palace and to a lesser extent the Tower of Latria at least felt like they had some kind of ongoing storyline, and were much more impressive visually. But the Tower of Latris ultimately disappointed, because of instead of being bizarre and eldritch as it first seems, it just didn’t really work for me and was often quite silly (the huge bolt thrower thing and the extremely daft looking Archdemon Old Monk, which ruins a great idea for an enemy).

The Shrine of Storms just seemed to have no relevance to anything, and was full of acrobatic, jumping ninja skeletons. Okay… It had hardly any NPCs, threw away Vanguard in a completely unheralded standard encounter, and just generally felt like a completely tacked on level (good for grinding though). And the Valley of Defilement was just rubbish, plain and simple. Dark screens, lots of instant death drops, plague carrying enemies etc etc made it a utter chore. But despite all that, its also extremely easy, with probably the easiest bosses in the game (none of them actually move at all, if I remember).

Compared to that, Boletaria Palace looks better, has storyline elements throughout, decent NPCs, the best (and hardest) final boss, some of the coolest music (Penetrator and False King’s themes particularly), and is pound for pound better in every way IMO.

But anyway, I’ve played some more Dark Souls today. Starting to get into it more now that I’ve moved beyond the Undead Burg. Still have absolutely no idea what the story is, but the action’s getting much more interesting now that I’m meeting various kinds of Knights and Mages. Just got clobbered in this basement by some crawling fiend with a *huge* lightning throwing staff. He was far too hard so I decided to go up instead – and got smashed by a massive gargoyle with an even bigger weapon!

Got to love these games… arrgh!


Smarty
10-15-2011, 08:19 PM
That I can understand. Boletarian Palace was definitely the one with the interesting backstory and the most characters, but I think the Tower and the Valley were just as good. Valley was impressive to me, because as far as going out of one’s way to make a place look like absolute shit, they did WAY too good of a job. Seriously, if hell exists, I’m guessing it looks something close to that.

Plus, it also has good story elements. Maiden Astraea might not have been a particularly impressive fight (you can literally just go on a ledge and keep firing arrows until she dies, Garl Vinland then commits suicide /endbossfight), but as far as her backstory goes, she has a lot going on. Just take a look at what other NPC’s, item descriptions say about her and, most importantly, what magic and weapons can be obtained through the use of her soul.

The Tower of Latria lost some of its magic after I played for what feels like a lifetime and learned what’s behind every knook and cranny. And yes there are some silly moments. But, personally, speaking I’ll never forget that I shat more pancakes at 3-1 and 3-2 than I have at every horror game I’ve ever played, combined. That tells me that they must have done something right.

Also, don’t ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER say that False King was the hardest final area boss. If you’re online, and a good PvP player is summoned as Old Monk, you are FUCKED my friend.

Shrine and the Mines were disappointing, though, yes. Especially their respective final bosses.

The Old Monk is a special case though in that regard, isn’t he? And however amazing the player is, it doesn’t alter the fact that it looks utterly ridiculous. And at least he can’t take your character’s levels off you!

As for the Tower itself, I really enjoyed the first section, and I look back with fondness on my furious quest upstairs when I realised why I couldn’t kill the boss! (Wait… I know that voice. I let that miserable little snot live and *this* is how he repays me?! YOU – COME HERE!!!!) But the rest of the tower was poor IMO. Too much crawling about in near pitch blackness on narrow platforms over instant death drops and flying amhushing enemies. Slowed progress right down because you had to be so careful. And putting those Black Phantom Mind Flayer things on such a narrow stairs makes it really hard for certain builds of character to take them down (but I was a hulking tank of a warrior, so I was alright I guess).

It just seemed like they let a good story go to waste in that level. There are a couple of NPCs like Lord Rydell and Sage Freke, but neither have much of anything to do with the Tower’s story really, and don’t end up doing anything (not on that level anyway). And for the Valley of Defilement, see my comments about the second bit of Tower of Latria. The progress was too restricted, and too slow because it was so hard to see and there were death drops everywhere. I’m okay with it being a toxic environment (and the later bits are better, admittedly), but that first section is just irritating beyond belief. Its not hard, its just really slow and the level (for me anyway) just doesn’t impress me with any kind of sense of scale or importance.

And it was the other way around for me with Vinland and Astrea. Garl Vinland just stood there as I battered him, dodging his clumsy swings every down and then. Once he was out of the way, she committed suicide. I’m not denying that the Valley has a pretty intriguing story, but I felt like it was almost entirely absent from most of the level. You really had to work at it to find any story elements until the boss ‘fight’.

But its a great game nontheless, and if anyone here hasn’t played it, get a move on there!

Anyway, guess we should get back on topic. Still plugging away on Persona 3 and Dark Souls, but now Arkham City’s appeared on the radar. I admit that I thought this would be an inferior sequel, but all the noise is that its actually much better than the excellent first game. Not sure whether to trust the critics on this, but they do all seem to be united this time, even the ones that are usually harsher with their scores. Looks like I may have to eat my cape after all.


chewey
10-16-2011, 02:23 PM
I always thought the chances of Arkham City being a pretty good game were high. It seemed very unlikely the people who broke the mould and actually made a good licensed video game would fall into the trappings of traditional open world superhero games (like Spiderman or The Hulk). It turns out Arkham City isn’t really open world after all, which is probably the absolute best solution to the problem. There’s nothing worse than a bland city filled with repetitive tasks.

Vrykolas
10-16-2011, 04:21 PM
Nonetheless, the few criticisms that I have seen cropping up, is that the main story is not as tightly scripted as last time, and that the main villain is fairly anonymous for the most part. But yes, it does seem that Rocksteady have done it again – amazing really, considering this is only like their third game or something.

And I tend to be very sceptical about sequels. Hardly any are ever as good as the original, and sometimes they are outright awful (Devil May Cry 2…) Very pleased to see this appears not to be the case with Arkham City. But seeing as how they seem to be a safe pair of hands, I’ll like them to make me a good Robocop game.

Then I’d *really* be happy.

Just spent a couple of minutes starting and then finishing Arkham City (its an extremely short game). IMO, I was right first time about this game – its nowhere near as enjoyable as Arkham Asylum, and the story is awful. Its basically the same game in most respects, so its not a bad game by any means. But I’d take AA over this game any day of the week.

Smarty

Weren’t they promising like 20+ hours just for the main story, reaching up to 40+ with all the sidequests? Or were those empty promises?

Vrykolas
10-23-2011, 02:11 PM
The emptiest of promises, I assure you. I couldn’t say about all the extra content, because I never felt moved to do any of it (I’ll probably give some of the side missions a go later on today). I got the game on Friday afternoon, and I’ve spent 4 sessions on the game. Each session was 3 hours tops (and most were more like 2 hours).

So that makes about 12 hours tops, and I sure it was more like 9-10 (annoyingly, there’s nowhere that tells you exactly how long you’ve been playing – not that I’ve noticed anyway). And that would be consistent, because it felt incredibly short. The game also does a very bad job of encouraging you to buy the extra gadgets. My first 8 levels of EXP were all spent on combat and ballistic armour, and that was enough to sail through the whole game.

You get the useful gadgets free (you have a lot of them when you start), and its just whether you want to upgrade them, But the game was so easy, that I never bothered. In the end, I was just buying stuff that I never ended up using (like something that jams enemy guns etc). But don’t get me wrong, the game does have its moments – the fight with Mr Freeze is probably the only truly exciting fight though.

The game just feels like a ‘greatest hits of Batman’ medley. Villains, allies, NPCs all whizz on and off the screen for their 5 minutes (if that in some cases) of fame, then are gone forever. And yes, there is a lot more for me to discover if I play through it properly, but one of the greatest strengths of Arkham Ayslum was its focused, engaging storyline. It chose a few characters, developed them well over the course of the game and told a good story with them. This game doesn’t do any of that.

The ending is quite good (as in the actual end sequence, not the terrible final battle), but for most of the game, I was seriously underwhelmed. Oh, and its also about 320% easier than AA.

I’ve only played the 360 version and it’s not as broken as people make it out to be on my experience. It’ll probably have a few bugs and glitches here and there but it’s not completely broken. Great game, but the endings are a bit disappointing. I do like how it’s made to play out sort of like a TV show(or a made for dvd movie), though. If you’re more comfortable with the controls on the 360 or ps3, I suggest either or. Or if your curious about the wii version, you can give it a try. ๐Ÿ™‚

the game is average, borderline bad.
the driving sections are a nightmare and the controls are not very responsive (or maybe, TOO responsive). i try to open my jacket and end up drawing my gun/ turning off the flaslight.

i heard the 360 version was an absolute mess. thats why atari made the ps3 version.

both hd versions are entirely different than the wii version (main reason i bought it, the other reason is because it was the only one in the bin that didnt really suck – including sports games. i dont care if fifa 10 is way better, i will NOT buy fifa 10). however the ps3 version has none of the problems the 360 version has. so im gonna try to get that one.

I THINK I remember playing the ps3 demo. The only thing I’ve seen changed was where you can move the thumb-stick to walk or run instead of holding A and you have control over the camera. Personally, I’ve found the 360 controls more suitable, but, again, each to his own.

I’ve unlocked everything in this game, so it’s a breeze ๐Ÿ˜‰ Some of the most epic clashes, such as the one against Nemesis at the base of the Clock Tower, or the giant Worm in the cemetery, suddenly lose all their spark as I breeze through with a bulletstorm from the gatling gun, the rocket launcher and the machine gun–all with infinite ammo! My first time through I saved 87 times. I just beat it with 7 total saves! Just amazing the replayability value that game has.

I didn’t consider it to be the greatest RE, but it does have its own charm. The ruined city with mournful music playing, as you desperately fight off huge swarms of zombies was pretty cool. The game has a much more down to earth feel than the others, because it was mostly in fairly everyday looking places, rather than mansions and palaces etc. Nice change of scenery, I thought.

And that bit where the zombie dog on fire jumps out of the flames at you… I actually dropped the controller the first time and just froze in abject terror!

Zombie dogs frighten me too >.< First time through RE: Director’s Cut on PS1 back in like ’99, young me ran out of the room screaming when I reached the eastern hallway (the one with the lovely canines who gently open the windows and climb inside to talk to you). Overcoming that was a triumph xD. Definitely the best of the series is the GC remake of the original–hands down. That game defines Resident Evil, and I feel that the subsequent two deserve to be remade in its likeness (not just the lazy ports that they made for GC -_- And the Wii ‘Chronicles’ titles don’t count either, because they only constitute fractions of the stories they’re retelling). But you’re absolutely right, RE3 does what it does a lot better than RE2 did; create the feeling of being trapped in an entire city infested with infected, cannibalistic horrors intent on ravaging anything still sane. RE2 barely even introduces you to Raccoon City before you’re holed up in the police station the rest of the game :O And what surprises me is, RE3 really doesn’t focus much on the actual reason for the T-virus’s spread; sure, you get the story of the mercenaries there to assess the victims themselves and gather combat statistics, but Birkin’s name isn’t mentioned even once. I just found that kind of interesting. When played immediately after (or hell, even during) RE2, it all seems even more incredible and the scope becomes greater.

I’m looking forward to the new one coming out on the 3DS. It’s supposed to return to the franchise’s roots.

Though I haven’t played much of RE beyond 4&5, I do enjoy the lore, and I just hope they don’t decide to do a series reboot.

I’m still playing quite a bit of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Been spending a lot of time in Mumbo’s garage putting together my vehicles. Though I do like the mechanic (pardon the pun), I really do miss the traditional 3D platforming. It makes it harder to accept when it tries to distance itself from that genre, especially when it comes outright and tells you that it’s intentionally avoiding those particular cliches. Hey, I was a fan of that genre, especially when you explore the environment looking for collectibles to help you on your quest. There is some of that, but the game worlds are intentionally made to take advantage of the incorporation of all sorts of vehicles. This, in turn, makes the environs much larger and open, making platforming virtually obsolete. Why climb when you could fly your plane to that high spot and grab those tough to reach notes?

Overall it has been good. Though I think I’ve spent far too much time in Showdown Town than in the actual game worlds.

Revelations looks promising, especially bringing Chris and Jill together in one game again without turning Jill into a Charlie’s Angel ๐Ÿ™‚ A series reboot would really irritate me, as reboots universally tend to do; it’s like saying, "the hell with everything we’ve done before, this is what we really want the series to be now." Remakes are one thing (like the masterful RE1 remake on GC) but reboots just seem to kill entire franchises for me. RE4 already turned the conflict with Umbrella into a blatant trivia within the first two minutes of the game beginning and became something new entirely, but the series’ timeline still managed to remain relevant. As long as the familiar history can remain intact within the timeframe of the series, I normally don’t mind how extravagant the changes are they choose to implement (within reason of course). But reboots? It’s like, screw that, we’ve changed our minds; this is the story we wanna tell now. Urgh, I’m not making any sense >.< But neither does scrapping an entire saga just to start all over and create an entirely new story based solely on the initial premise (sometimes not even that!) . . . Wait, the Spider-Man live action films did exactly this, so I can’t complain >.<

Bingo! I made the mistake of buying both on GC, and they subsequently became the first and only, thus far, games I’ve ever returned right back to the store the same day (angrily, at that). It was an utter waste of their time to just add a tiny bit of anti-aliasing and call that a ‘graphical update’. RE1 and RE0 (previously canceled release on N64!) both got the star treatment; where’s Claire, Leon, Birkin, Sherry, Carlos, Nikolai, Murphy, and Ada’s share? If they think ‘Chronicles’ and ‘Darkside Chronicles’ make up for this they must be smoking the same thing SE is >.<

To be fair to the new writers, I did actually quite enjoy the early sections of the RE5 story, and like I’ve said before, I consider it a more truly RE game than RE4’s bizarrely camp foolery. That intro section where you walk down the street amid hostile glares from the townsfolk and that gang beating a guy sewn into a sack is genuinely unsettling. But when it became ‘Lost Valley of the Inca’s’… And the treatment of Jill, her look, dialogue etc was just awful.

It wasn’t great, but I give them credit for salvaging anything from the Plot Nuke that RE4 dropped on the series. I really don’t see how the series can continue when the main story is over, all the important villains are dead and the tone of the series is now so different from the original games, it basically is a seperate series trading on its old name.

Anyway, to haul myself off my soapbox and back on topic, I’m still hammering away at Dark Souls, curse that game’s black heart. My comments on the Skyrim thread are proving to be true – I really need that game to come out and give me some fun adventuring. I don’t think my nerves can take much more of the constant anxiety of Dark Souls!

Well, the idea of redeeming the series from its false start was presumably what they meant. Since the theme of Redemption plays basically no part in Red Dead Redemption, its as good a reason as any other. John Marsten isn’t the slightest bit interested in being redeemed – he freely admits he wouldn’t be hunting his old partners down if he wasn’t being forced to, regardless of what they’ve done.

But yeah, neither of those games do anything for me. I don’t hate them, but I don’t really like them either.

I’ve never actually gotten around to playing it either. I was just wondering if you had any opinions on it.

The only western I’ve actually played was the Half Life mod known only as Wanted! When I figured out how to put bots in a game, I played it extensively. That is, until CS: Condition Zero came out.

I didn’t have the internet at the time, so bots were all I had for the longest time.

I admit that my interest is piqued now – I may have to seek out a second hand copy of Gun now, just to see what its like! I was going to have a go on one of the Call of Juarez games, but a mate warned me off, saying they were terrible. Still, I might get one of them second hand – if its rubbish, I’ll just deny ever owning it!

And I finally finished Dark Souls – freedom at last! When I nailed that final boss, I practically broke down in tears of utter relief. To be fair, it was actually probably an easier game than Demon’s Souls, but it still felt mighty good to get that game completion trophy.

With Skyrim coming up so soon afterward, I felt like I needed something non fantasy to play, just so I don’t completely overdose. Not really into Uncharted, so I picked up Resistance 3 instead. Played about 30 minutes or so and it seems enjoyable enough so far. Feels like Little House on the Prairie – but with aliens and guns and tanks.

It’s got a different flare to it than the first game, and some moments are downright corny. From a gameplay perspective it’s the most unique of all, actually allowing the kind of cooperation you would expect normal people to enact under such conditions ("Hey, now that we’re here in these dark woods with a score of mutilated corpses and a report of a convict in custody, let’s split up gang!").

I really admire your idea of swapping between Bravo Team’s members, and it seems it would be a great way to get to know them better, something I highly anticipated from this game. Granted, I’m not very far in (I just got the crank handle in the mansion) so I may see some more of them in time. Looking around online I was amazed at the sheer amount of people disappointed, thinking it was all about Bravo Team’s journey through the mansion. Sure, some more scenes with the rest of the guys in Bravo would be nice, but can you imagine how redundant the game would seem? We land in a forest, we lose a guy (Kevin Dooley; in RE1 it was Joseph), we run for a mansion. Then, true to Scooby Doo fashion, we split up. Kenneth and Scoob hit the dining room, while Richard goes and hunts snakes and Forest heads up to the terrace to snipe with a grenade launcher. They all meet a swift death, save for Rebecca. I think exploring entirely different areas made perfect sense for this game, and I’m anxious to see how it all ties in with the original (well, the REmake).

I can’t say I entirely miss the Crimson Heads, though I wouldn’t be surprised to see one pop up at some point. The only thing I will say is it kind of would’ve been fitting to see Richard Aiken replace Billy Coen, as tight-knit as he and Rebecca seem in the first game. It doesn’t matter though; once you get used to the swapping system, the game is probably one of the best ones in the series, tied only with the REmake ๐Ÿ™‚

The problem with the teamwork thing was that its really cheesy when a game puts in loads of ‘Takes 2 people to move the lift/box/maze etc puzzles, just because you have 2 people – lucky the guys from the other games never came this way! Also, there is no point to playing as Rebecca for 99% of the time, because she isn’t as tough as Billy. So I just spent all my time as him.

As for the story, its pretty bad. It starts okay, but once you reach the facility, the amount of story and the quality of it, slides pretty quickly. By the end, you’ll just think its absurd that all this stuff supposedly happened before RE1 – like Arigeitsu says, Rebecca shouldn’t be anywhere near as scared or helpless in RE1, considering she’s beaten several huge monsters (including one that should *not* be in this game, that I refuse to accept as canon and if it must be included, definately shouldn’t have been killed).

The location is also really dodgy. The teams need to take choppers to get out to the mansion, and this facility is apparently somewhere close by (as Rebecca is right by it at the end). But the action also moves to some of the areas from RE2 at times, which is crazy because they are situated in and below Raccoon City. There’s no way they could be in walking distance of both areas. Either that or some of the tram car rides they take are much, much longer than it seems!

The whole game is obviously retcon, and as it goes on, it feels more and more obvious. I actually do like playing as Billy and Rebecca, and the game does have its moments, but I still find it nearly impossible to accept that all this actually happened before RE1. It feels unnecessary at best and completely unlikely at worst. And as of later installments, none of this game matters at all – Rebecca is apparently dead these days, according to some debatable canon (I hope that’s wrong) and Billy also hasn’t shown up (or even been mentioned) again.

This makes more sense to me. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made her an additional character in the Mercenaries Reunion for RE5 if she was indeed dead.

Barry’s the greatest. But even better is that zombie he shoots at the start of RE1 – 3 shots from Barry’s ‘pretty much 1 hit kill against anything’ Magnum to take it down. And even then it was just playing possum, and takes off when you’re not looking!

That zombie’s got some serious game…

Probably still investigating the blood for clues as well…

Oh yeah, I finished Resistance 3. Another game that took about 10 minutes to complete. It was okay I guess, but like Gears 3 and Killzone 3, it feels like a completely souless, made for the mainstream, utterly generic, short, easy shooter. A couple of fun weapons, but overall, a game that did away with what little individuality the Resistance series had.

Exactly what I was expecting, in other words.

You know, you never really do figure out whose blood that is, do you? I mean is it Kenneth’s? Seems there’d be a whole trail leading into that little side hallway if it was . . . plus the video recording of him later on indicates he wasn’t all that torn up until he stupidly let the zombie corner him and eat him. I mean come on, in the REmake, there’s a whole other door behind him he could’ve run to! Freakin’ wimp -_- But on the other hand, it could’ve been the zombie’s. I mean, you don’t decay that heavily and not spring a few flesh ruptures here and there, do you? Either way, I just hope Barry had fun examining this.

Kenneth’s terrible – that video of him spraying all around and completely missing the zombie (who is just coming dead straight at him down a fairly narrow corridor), is hilarious. But then again, it is that super zombie who laughs in the face of Barry’s Magnum…

As for the blood, who knows? Ozwell Spencer’s just as big a nutcase as the Ashfords, so finding random bloodstains in his mansion isn’t all that surprising really. It could be from Kenneth or Forest perhaps? He might have been able to stagger upstairs, and it would explain how such a hardcase managed to die to some birds! At least Richard had the decency to die to a proper enemy (the snake). And Enrico’s so tough, he swans about that mine filled with Hunters, armed with just a 9mm pistol – and survives just fine until the traitor shoots him!

Kenneth’s is definitely the most pathetic of all of STARS :laugh: It’s no wonder he only got that far into the mansion! I’d definitely rank the Bravo guys in order from Richard, Enrico, Forest, Edward, Kevin, and Kenneth in that order on the manliness scale. Kevin didn’t have a choice; he got mugged inside a cramped chopper by a fackin’ vicious dog :O I only count Rebecca out cuz that bitch managed to survive -_- Lucky girl.

over at gamefaqs, at the height of the remake, we all concluded that zombie was god.

think about it: (canonically) he survives several shots from kenneth, and then he eats him.
minutes later you see him, and you "kill it" (disregard this if you just turn around)
jill only:you then come back to the dinning room, only for that same zombie to attack both of you, it takes 3 magnum shots at point blank to subdue the zombie. you head back to the main hall but then the zombie rises again and heads to his original spot.
both characters: after that you go back to that corridor and find the zombie, you kill it again for good….. only to have him come back later as an enraged crimson head, where you finally kill him forever.

yep, that zombie is god. or maximus decimus meridius, because, like him "he just wont die"

See, if Bravo had just had Barry with them, they’d have been absolutely fine. Because despite his size, that guy is like the ninja master of being in the right place, at the right time.

– Stuck in a deadly mansion full of locked doors? Hey, thanks Barry – you’d have thought the demolitions/cracksman of the team would have the lockpick, so its good that you remembered to bring it…
– Having problems with Hunters and need something with a bit of extra kick? Yeah Barry, I’ll take those Acid Rounds off your hands…
– About to be crushed by a falling ceiling in a remote part of the mansion? Never fear, Barry’s here.
– Being attacked and crushed by a gigantic plant monster? Baz just happens to be strolling past with a flamethrower.

Played some of the multiplayer in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts with a friend online in an attempt to nab some achievements. As there is absolutely nobody online in this game, we were unable to get any of the achievements associated with ranked matches. However I was able to get a couple, though I do have to say that the multiplayer options are shortlived, with little to no progression. Even though racing through the maps was fun enough, it’s nothing I’d return to on a regular basis. The longevity of the multipayer modes was restricted, given that the actual game had a limited amount of available game worlds to draw from. This really was the most disappointing aspect of it all, considering that they could’ve done so much more if the multiplayer wasn’t treated as such an afterthought. There’s also a complete lack of vehicle destruction while racing. How am I supposed to slow down an opponent if I can’t blast their vehicle to bits? This ruined the entire concept of the multiplayer for me. What could have been a battle royale with your custom made vehicles pitted against your opponents’ own creations, was turned into a hand holding venture based exclusively on speed and traction, rather than durability and skill. There’s not even a vehicle deathmatch game mode either. At least Banjo-Tooie had some sort of deathmatch options available.

The rest of the game is absolutely phenomenal, though.

Very few FPS have ever had a good single player campaign. I enjoyed Halo 1, bits and pieces of Halo 2, quite liked the first F.E.A.R… Oh, and there’s Bioshock as well, if you count that as a FPS. But other than that, can’t think of many good ones without going way, way back (like to Goldeneye and Perfect Dark etc). I guess some would say Half Life 1+2, but I never really liked those games.

Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Human Revolution are great SP first person games, the old Medal of Honor and the Call of Duty 1,2, and 4 all had great campaigns. I loved Battlefield Bad Company’s SP because it didnt take itself seriously. Recently though, not much developer love for SP.

Think I’m about done with Skyrim. Ran into a few quests that messed up because I tried to approach them in ways the game didn’t want me to. There’s really only ever one solution or approach you can take to a quest in this game and that’s pretty lame, I think.

I’ve booted up Rayman Origins, but I haven’t put much time into it yet. I never played the original so these slippery controls do not feel great to me, but I’ll give it some time.

I can’t really comment much on Call of Duty – ‘real world’ shooters do absolutely nothing for me. Be they set in WW2, Vietnam, modern day, whatever… I just can’t get into them at all. The only COD game I ever sat down and played to the end was COD: World at War, and that’s only because it came with my PS3 and I didn’t have any other games. Apparently WAW is one of the worst COD games, and I’d have to agree based on my limited experience. I thought it was okay, in a workmanlike, ‘honest to goodness shooter and nothing else’ kind of way, but I have no plans to ever play it or any other COD ever again.

Finished Skyrim’s main quest… words fail on exactly how awful that whole storyline was. Actually manages to be worse than the main quest from FO3 (because that at least had the Tranquility Lane section), and is only better than the Oblivion main story by dint of not having to do all those Oblivion gate realms (truly one of the all time worst design decisons taken in any game ever). The kicker is that I actually much preferred Oblivion’s story, if you take that aspect away. Skyrim’s story is just awful from start to finish.

Looking forward to getting Layton and the Spectre’s Call tomorrow.

Finally got around to playing Castlevania Portrait of Ruin on the DS (only five years too late right?) :p And, I’m really enjoying it – it’s definitely taken a leaf out of Symphony of the Night’s book with the non-linear exploring and RPG elements, and given a refreshing twist with the portraits opening up entirely new areas.

Even with the absence of a Belmont (well, not exactly, Richter and Maria are unlockable in the game, despite being long dead by the time period of POR – 1944 ;)), the new characters are likeable, although Charlotte’s chirpy voice gets a bit annoying after a while. As antagonists the vampire sisters are also fittingly sinister too.

Yozo Koshiro and Michiru Yamane’s OST is also very well done as well.

Although Portrait of Ruin will not top the certified awesomeness of Symphony of the Night, it is still a great game that all Castlevania fans should play. ๐Ÿ™‚

Halo: Combat Evolved, Anniversary Edition.

Spent like 10 minutes slamming my fists into the wall and crying out in despair when I saw the game has an Achievement for doing every level on Legendary. I nearly drove myself completely insane doing Legendary on the original version and got absolutely nothing for my troubles. There was the easter egg ending with Johnson, but then I learned that I could have just got that by doing ‘The Maw’ on Legendary.

The only thing I got was the satisfaction of seeing the Legendary Symbol on the level select screen to show I’d finished them all at that difficulty. Which was fine, because the console could hardly shake my hand and give me a tenner, but the agony involved I thought would buy me something more substantial, unlock something. And now I see this 360 version, which actually does give you an Achievement, and I just know that I’m enough of a Masochist that I might actually put myself through it all again.

I never should have bought this game.

Achievements shouldn’t matter if you want to feel like you’ve actually completed the game(unless they’re all easy achievements, then that’s a different story.)

Usually I don’t care that much about Achievements. I’ll get them if I like the game and/or the specific Achievements. Its also a good excuse to spend more time with a particular game, giving yourself some goals to be working towards.

Maybe its the influence that Demon Souls and Dark Souls have had on me, but I feel like I want to to do it again, just to prove to myself that I’m still capable of something that’s actually really hard (I constantly worry that the ease of modern games is dulling my playing skills). And it is really satisfying when you unlock a particularly sadistic Achievement…

On the other hand, one of my mates was clearing out some of his stuff and gave me a box of old games he wants to get rid of to look through and see if I want any of it. A lot of it is junk that I’ll never play (racing games and such), but there’s a copy of the PS3 Turok game. I remember people saying it was pretty awful, but I’m really tempted to give it a go.

Play a game that might poison my good memories of the Turok series or whip myself on the back with thorns by playing Halo on Legendary again? A bitter season indeed…

To be honest, I was actually looking forward to playing the game, and ended up being disappointed.

That was last year. Tonight I started to wrap up Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. I beat Grungy, but I need to redeem my jiggies and get the last few TT Trophies to nab that last single player achievement. It’ll be difficult, but I’ll be able to manage. Once I get that done, I can actually get started on Skyward Sword.

Well, I agree with that poster that although Skyrim has the looks, I’d take Oblivion (and Fallout 3, and definately New Vegas) over Skyrim, no problem. Better graphics does not mean better game. Everyone trashing Oblivion now like they hated it is absurd. It won just about every critic award going, and its User Score on Metacritic is higher than Skyrim’s, even with the release hype and reviews getting everyone all excited for it.

Simply put (and IMO of course), Oblivion is much better than people are (now) saying it is. Skyrim is far less good than people are saying it is.

@Vrykolas

I do think Oblivion is a great game in it’s own right, and same thing with Skyrim, Fallout 3 and New Vegas(Great game, but it has more bugs and glitches than Fallout 3, judging by my experience) and I do think Skyrim is better than Oblivion. But that doesn’t mean I like Oblivion any less, though.(Maybe it’s because of nostalgia, but I don’t know.)

The only thing I don’t get is why some of the people on that thread were complaining about the new UI in Skyrim. I think it’s perfectly well designed and organized, especially the menus. Sure, it’s tad bit confusing when some names are white but a little greyed out and some names are completely white, but other then that, I think it’s nice improvement over the UI’s in Oblivion and Morrowind.

Remember though, it IS still in beta at the moment and with most MMORPG’s, even after release, there’ll be numerous updates etc for some time, to tweak and perfect things (Case in point, look at WoW and FFXI… there are updates and patches released for them constantly). Also, I wouldn’t judge a game solely on graphics, as they are only a small percentage of the overall game.

Just finished off the Los Carnales in Saints Row. Having defeated them, and the Vice Kings (gotta love Johnny Gat and his dialogue for that campaign), so have only the Westside Rollerz, and then the council of Stilwater to take care of.

Also, I wouldn’t judge a game solely on graphics, as they are only a small percentage of the overall game.

I agree about the graphics, however for a game released in late 2011, it looks rather abysmal. The constant texture pop-in really annoys me and yes, may be fixed by the time of release.

Content updates are one thing, progression style is another. The UI, the quest structure, and all of the features are almost identical to Everquest II / World of Warcraft / Rift it’s scary. While I understand that this formula of MMORPG is popular, it’s a formula that is over 7 years old. It would be nice to see MMORPGs break out of the cookie-cutter mold, something I’ll need to wait for Guild Wars 2 to do I suppose.

There are a few good features about the game I’ve noticed so far. The combat is fun (even though it’s basically WoW without auto-attack), the voice acting is superb (which is no surprise considering how much they invested in this) and the story and light side / dark side choices are a welcome addition.

It’s fun, but unfortunately does nothing new for the genre. I can’t help but feel "I’ve already played this game before".

I’m a Star Wars fan, and most fans will get a kick out of the game for at least a few months.

Also inb4 Dialogue choices are totally breaking the mold.

I don’t see why everyone has to call almost every mmo a Wow clone, Rift clone, EverQuest clone, whatever. I never played WoW or rift, but I’ve played the free to play beta of Everquest 2 Extended(right now, it’s officially going free to play some time in December I think) and I usually play free to play mmos, and never saw them as clones. I even played Aion and I never saw it as a WoW clone. Personally, I say who cares if different mmos seem like a WoW/Rift/Everquest clone. Just my two cents :p

I think the issue is that if Old Republic is just a WOW clone, then MMO fans will probably continue to play Warcraft instead. Plus its not likely to attract many new fans (because if they liked that sort of thing, they *would* be playing WOW). Basically, its a case of Old Republic needing its own identity, which apparently it doesn’t really have.

And I agree with most of what you (DoDo) said about Skyrim/Oblivion (other than the bit about Skyrim being better obviously). I don’t really have a problem with the UI, but I don’t really see that its added all that much. Combat is essentially the same, floaty, unsatisying mess its been since… since always with Bethesda. The favourites menu is inferior to the wheel IMO, and slows thing down as you scroll through the tiny writing to find stuff. Other than that, all that’s really new is dual wield, and that’s hardly anything fabulously new to get excited about.

Skyrim isn’t a bad game by any means. But all this hysteria over it is preposterous.

Vrykolas
11-27-2011, 01:47 AM
The PS3 version starts okay, but lags terribly later on. It gets so bad that I have to quit right out of the game, and boot it back up again. That usually buys me at least 45 minutes, more if I stick to dungeons (only seems to start lagging in the world map and towns, often but not always when Dragons are about). It crashes a lot too and whilst that is a pain, I’m immune to these kinds of things in Bethesda’s games now.

Oh, and Vanquish was a great little game. Best end credits for ages too.

Quoted for truth.

If an MMO comes out that is in the same or similar style to the mighty World of Warcraft, players will eventually return to WoW because it does all of these things better, and is familiar and easy enough to get back into.

Why play a clone when you can play the original?

That’s why I enjoy / enjoyed MMOs like FFXI, Granado Espada, and FFXIV…and soon to be Guild Wars 2. These games strive to be different, and end up being a more refreshing experience.

So long as you don’t go in expecting ‘The Greatest Game Ever’, then Vanquish is one of the best pure action games this gen has thrown up. The story is a bit throwaway, but only because the focus is so squarely on the action. You could actually argue that the game has slightly too much story for its own good – the less stuff getting in the way of the action in this kind of game, the better IMO.

I enjoyed it much more than Bayonetta, but the fact that Platinum released both that and Vanquish in the same year means these guys really know their stuff. I mean I didn’t love Bayonetta, but it was the best Devil May Cry style game for ages. And in its own way, Vanquish is a better Gears of War style game than any Gears game! (They not really the same thing though – Gears emphasises using cover, Vanquish could care less about taking cover when you could be strafing on your knees in slow-mo along enemy lines with a shotgun).

Its worth a look.

Oh hell ya man

I’m so far like 5-6 hrs into the game and barely finished the first dungeon. The overworld, there’s so much to explore and to do before you actually get into the actual dungeons along with that the dungeons themselves seem to be alot bigger and longer than previous zelda titles.

The gameplay makes the whole experience more worthwhile. I recommend getting it.

The game doesn’t really have an "overworld" though. I’d say dungeons are shorter (and less tedious) than they’ve been before too, it’s just that now the entire game is basically a dungeon.

Best Zelda game ever.

And to not be left out of the Skyward Sword discussion;

I’m maybe 10 or so hours in. I’ve hit the second temple, and I have to say that I am enjoying myself. Though, it really seems that Nintendo took a step back with this title, because there’s far more linearity than previous titles, and the ‘overworld’ is incredibly sparse. Even more so than Windwaker, but not nearly as expansive. Hey, it’s fun, and I’m not letting its linear structure get in the way of that, I’m just not sure it’s better than Twilight Princess, or even Ocarina of Time.

The game seems to borrow largely from Borderlands, but I find myself enjoying this a whole lot more. The designs are insanely cool, and I’m anxious to delve deeper into the overall plot. Right now it’s a lot of running around doing various errands (I still can’t find where to set off those damned signal flares for the dude in Outrigger Territory >.<) but eventually I can see the plot unfolding quite rapidly once I get some of this out of the way. I’ve seen loads of criticisms for the game already, but what others perceive as shortcomings I honestly don’t mind one bit. I’m not hard to please when it comes to videogames (unless the game is called The World Ends With You) and this title is turning out to be everything I hoped for. It also tends to have little nods toward previous id Software games placed variously around, such as the Quake logo drawn in blood in the Wasted garage, Mixom bolts in Outrigger’s repair shop (something you previously saw here and there in Doom 3), and some of the enemy designs so far appear similar to the Grunts in the original Quake.

The aspect of riding around the overworld on various vehicles is also a welcome addition, and one I’ve seen bashed numerously on varying sites. Having this feature makes traveling between destinations far more compelling and fun, as is the ability to move about an expansive world to begin with. Many games have had similar mechanics, but there’s something increasingly captivating about having this in a game that runs 60fps without sacrificing a hint of quality in the process. This is also the first game in a long time I’ve seen that actually stays true to what ever screenshot and initial promise made it out to be. I’m not finding myself let down or disappointed, because the game isn’t false-advertised with exaggerations or pretenses that amount to nothing. I’m glad I didn’t listen to the naysayers and gave this a chance; id has done pretty much everything right (except of course for Quake 4, but we can let that slide since Raven Software were the ones in charge, id only marginally supervising while Raven abused their id Tech 4 engine with a rushed game with good graphics >.<), and I can only imagine Doom 4 is gonna be epic.

I’m glad I didn’t listen to the naysayers and gave this a chance; id has done pretty much everything right (except of course for Quake 4, but we can let that slide since Raven Software were the ones in charge, id only marginally supervising while Raven abused their id Tech 4 engine with a rushed game with good graphics >.<), and I can only imagine Doom 4 is gonna be epic.

Happened to me for the first time at the Amusement Park(I was going to take a photo where I saw grey noise) and now I’m angry. I don’t feel like playing it any time soon.

It begs the question: If the Wii console can get updates, why can’t the games? Shattered Memories is need of one because of that bullshit bug/glitch.

Finished Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, thank god, only saved twice. Sad ending, though. :(. The Simmons Street house frustrated me on this play-through.

I’m still pissed off at the developers for not seeing that game killing phone bug/glitch, though. I know the developers can’t fix ALL bugs, but how they let that one slip just baffles me. First Silent Hill game I’ve played to have a game killing bug. Next time I play it, I’m going to get the UFO ending(with the help of an online walk-through) for kicks and giggles. :p

Now, I don’t know what to play, because that phone bug is still making me angry just thinking about.

I know one thing that sucks about wii games, though. They can’t get updates like the 360 and ps3 games. Just released as is. No patches, no nothing.

Well, FUCK YOU, I’M TAKING THAT AWAY FROM YOU >=D!" like what Silent Hill: Shattered Memories did, haha.

I got MarioKart 7 yesterday, so I’ve been playing through that quite a bit. Skyward Sword shall wait for now. In any case, I made it through all the courses in 50cc, and I shall be moving up in difficulty once I get out of work. The courses are pretty cool, engaging and fun. The remakes are a welcome addition once again, and if I hear anyone complaining about them again, I’m gonna start punting babies. The selection is pretty cool, though I would have liked to see Toad’s Turnpike this time around, though. Otherwise, it’s an awesome selection, certainly surprised to see the final course in the last grand prix cup.

I only have a few gripes, but they are minor in comparison to the larger picture. They brought in Wuhu Island for two courses, though fun, left me dissatisfied simply because instead of going laps around the perimeter of the island, they have it split up into three quadrants/checkpoints. This made the course much too short. Otherwise, it was fine enough to be in the game. Also, they took out one of my favorite modes from MK DS: they ended up taking out single-player Vs. which essentially allowed you to race through all the tracks randomly with CP opponents. Double Dash had this with the Marathon Cup, so I’m hoping that gets unlocked, but I’m afraid that there will only be just the Mirror Cups.

I haven’t seen how bad the Czerka corporation was since I was working with them for the money haha. The Thalamor though, I despised them when I’ve seen how arrogant they are, especially those Thalamor High Elves(smug assholes lol). Good thing I’ve been thinking about joining the StormCloaks. ๐Ÿ™‚

The Thalamor? I cant stand the Stormcloaks but the Aldmeri Dominion are worse. I mean they deny Talos as a Divine (even though his divinity has been proven), committed widespread Genocide in the Great War, and have made the Empire its bitch. Theres not much to really like about them at all.


Vrykolas
12-09-2011, 07:04 AM
First of all, you can like a race/institution etc without approving of what they do. There has to be some kind of motivating force at work in a game, or you just get dull, peaceful situations. And I don’t find either the Stormlcloaks or the Dragons to be interesting enough enemies (the stormcloaks are okay, but the main quest dealing with the Dragons is aeful). I would much rather be able to engage with the Thalamor as the primary antagonists (either by joining or opposing them).

As for them being likeable or not… Well, who’s to say that Talos is a divine? Several characters who aren’t from the Dominion also make the point that just because someone is a great ruler etc, does not entitle them to godhood. Besides, the Thalamor have all but conqueroed the Empire, but how is that any different to when Tiber Septim (i.e Talos) conquered the whole of Tamriel? The Empire is so large because of military conquest – if its alright for the Empire, why are the Dominion not allowed to get a bit of that action?

Things could be a lot worse – with the power the Dominion have, they could have made their terms a *lot* more unreasonable. Even General Tulllius and the remaining members of the Blades are afraid of going up against them, because they are just too strong to oppose in open warfare. The Thalamor are not nice people, and will likely only get more oppressive as time goes on, but take heart in the fact that they unless they soften their hardline attitude, they’ll be overthrown eventually or overextend themselves, as such regimes always are.

My point was that I would have been much more interested in a story dealing with Skyrim’s fight for independence (or help the Thalamor cement their position), possibly rallying the Legion in the area to your side, and finding some way to strike back at the Thalamor. Because whilst you may say the story already is about this, it really isn’t. If the Stormcloaks win, Skyrim isn’t free – it will just mean that the Thalamor will get involved directly in the war, as previously they left it all up to the Empire to honour its treaty etc and don’t really take much interest in the civil war. To be truly independant, the story would have to show you striking a meaningful blow at the Thalamor themselves and suggest some way they might be overthrown (even if you can’t do it in the actual game, because you are obviously stuck in Skyrim).

All of which must be better than wasting time in the absurdly boring Dragonblood questline. That goes nowhere, and when you’re done, only one NPC (in the whole world) actually acknowledges you’ve done it – despite many others knowing you were doing it, nobody cares or comments on it afterwards! Which just makes it feel even more of a huge waste of time and effort. As it is, both the main quest and Civil War side questline are deeply unsatisfying and vastly oversimplified. The bit where the Greybeards arbitrate a truce is the most interesting bit of either quest – it never gets that good again.

I personally like the main quest so far. I’ve been busy with other side quests though to help get more money and experience. As much as I hate those accursed Ice Dragons, I like dragon hunting(with the help of my companions, until I feel I can face them on my own). I saved up on a good amount of Dragon souls I’ve used only twice, I believe. Also, Unrelenting Force maxed rules. xD

I’m curious, though. How do you know so much about the lore of Skyrim?

Okay, my bad :laugh:

But Talos has been proven a God due to needing the Blood of a God to make the Portal to Dagon’s "Paradise", with the Mysterium Xarxes being written long before Tiber Septim’s time.

It would be cool to push the Thalmor out of Skyrim, but the Legionairres would not desert so easily, and even then the Thalmor would bring down the military hammer of Heaven and Hell on Skyrim and the current Imperial Remnant (im not even acknowleging them as a full empire at this point, seeings how all they solidly controll is Cyrodill and parts of Skyrim. However, if you were to get Skyrim, the Imperial Remnant, and the current Hammerfell nation on one side, then it would be a winnable war.

If you got the game on the computer, I would be keeping an eye on the modding community. There are height maps for most Cyrodill and Hammerfell outside of the normal map, which means modders can build on it. Not to mention the team that did Nehrim for Oblivion and Cube One for Fallout will more than likely have a total conversion mod in a few years.


Vrykolas
12-09-2011, 08:18 PM
Dodo: You pick up the lore from what characters say, and you just sort of ‘osmose’ information as the game goes along, slowly building up a firm picture of what is going on (although you are never given the chance to hear the Thalamor side of things, I might add). For example, there is a quest where a woman asks you to find her son who has been arrrested by the Thalamor for supposedly supporting the Stormcloaks. I had aided the Legion in winning the civil war by this point, and was on good terms with General Tullius, so I asked him if he could bring up the possibility of releasing the prisoner with the Thalamor. He refuses, because he says the danger of antagonising the Thalamor is simply too great. Likewise the Blades candidly admit they were completely outclassed by the Thalamor and were defeated easily.

Plus, Dragon hunting gets *really* old. They just keep coming, and they are no threat at all, which relegates them to the status of ‘pests’, which is a pretty sad state of affairs for the big bads of the game! I hate the Dragons, and I cry out in despair whenever one shows up, because I just can’t be bothered killing yet another one!

N-10: My issue is simply that in a game that purports to let you go anywhere, do anything, complete the game *your* way etc etc, you should be able to side with the Thalamor. You are forced to side against them, and can never engage with them on friendly terms at all. It was the same with the Mythic Dawn in Oblivion and the Enclave in Fallout 3. New Vegas was the only one to play fair and allow you to side with anyone you wanted. It doesn’t have to be a good decision by you, and it could even end up destroying civilisation as you know it etc, but if that’s the choice you make, the game should honour it.

Just because certain factions are ‘evil’ doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be allowed to support them. You can join the Dark Brotherhood for example, and they are hardly paragons of virtue are they?! With regards to ‘proof’ of Talos’ divinty, that is speculative at best. Using magic items and tomes to achieve certain effects is by its very nature arcane and unknowable. We are told that X is the only way to achieve Y effect, but these kinds of rules are frequently broken in novels and later games etc. Its Deus Ex Machina, and these things are always ‘The Only Way’ – until its inconvient, in which case anyone with a length of copper wire and some blackberries can do it etc etc.

I’m not saying you’re wrong about Talos (you’re almost certainly right), but we don’t know enough about the Dominion’s motives, and we never hear the Thalamor side of things, so who’s to say?

Shoulda gotten the Wii version. Just sayin’.

I’m about to finish up Skyward Sword. Getting to the climax pretty soon here actually. I am enjoying it quite a bit, despite my earlier complaints. Nintendo has done it again, albeit in a much more condensed format. Still disappointed that the game didn’t go any further than the original three worlds, but they sure legitimized revisiting the same areas you’ve already explored. This is mainly due to the fact that there are six different dungeons, giving each area an additional place to explore beyond the initial point of insertion. Also, when it comes to the third visit, they alter the environment in some way to make a slightly new experience. Plus those Spirit hunts are fun. Definitely harkens back to Phantom Hourglass’/Spirit Tracks’ high tensity situations with unbeatable 1-hit-kill enemies.

I am liking it, and the story is as good as always.

My first time playing it.I did play ChronoCross years ago.

Looking to get hold of a copy of PS1 Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen.I couldn’t believe the Amazon prices for a new/unused one with the box and instructions.
$315-$350 US.
Awful.

Looks like I will be getting a used scratched copy for $25 without a box and instructions.

sheesh.

there’s a PS1 version of Chrono-Trigger.It’s part of Final Fantasy Chronicles and includes ffiv.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Chronicles

Chrono Cross is a somewhat different game and has different characters.It’s more of an alternate universe game than a time game.
I do have a copy of it lying around here somewhere though.Been ages since I played it.
Cross really has nothing to do with ChronoTrigger and although Square marketed it as a sequel to Trigger and that has upset some people.
It doesn’t bother me although some fans consider Trigger LEGENDARY, up there with FF VI, VII AND FF Tactics and so they don’t like Chrono Cross.

Hope that answers your question.

Yes. Everything in the game is built specifically for the Wii. The HD port takes away what made the Wii version great, and simply leaves you with an underwhelming experience. Sure the texture resolution was bumped up a bit, but for an HD experience they end up being subpar.

I heard the online is improved, but I have yet to experience that in Reloaded. I think I’ll stay with what I have. If I want to listen to whiny little brats online, I’ll play COD.

I finished The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword last night. Spent 67 hours in this game, and I enjoyed the large majority of it. Gripes aside, it was an excellent game, though certainly not as good nor epic as other entries in the series, but excellent nonetheless. Highly recommended.

Man, Demon’s Souls is the only game that actually makes me want to break my game, punch pillows or sell it to gamestop ALL because of losing souls when I die and not being able to get them back when I die again. *Sigh* I wish I can control my anger. :/ Losing whatever I earn contributes to that, I guess.

I love Forbidden Siren 1+2, but I didn’t like Blood Curse very much. Just seemed like an inferior remake of the first game. Its not as scary or atmospheric, its much easier and the story isn’t nearly as good IMO (as it does differ significantly from the first game, although that said, it does have its moments). The characters are a mixed bag, but I did like Sam and Sol. I still prefer the first 2 games though.

And if you’re having trouble with Demon’s Souls, you might want to try Dark Souls instead. Its still a hard game, but its a lot more forgiving than the first game, and its much easier to level up, keep your souls or quickly amass new stocks of them etc. If you want to keep at Demon’s Souls, then I suggest the Storm Shrine as a good place to grind. The skeletons are tough, but once you get the hang of them, they’re easy and give up lots of souls. Also make sure your encumbrance is less than half – the extra movement speed really does make a huge difference.


DoDoRay9000
12-22-2011, 07:57 PM
Yeah, that’s what I’ve been thinking about doing since I can get a lot a souls from that Grim Reaper and his blue henchman. I hate those flying manta rays, though. They love pooping out their spikes at me :p. Oh, and believe it or not, but I think I may have a phobia against the Fool’s Idol Archstone level. I’m really scared of extreme heights and every time I walk through those narrow walkways(to me they’re narrow) I keep getting constantly scared of falling off and I constantly get disturbed at how high up I am every time I look down or around me.

As for Siren, I’ve been trying to get Forbidden Siren 2 from Amazon.uk back in September so I can play it on my PS3, but the order canceled on me a couple of days later(don’t know why), and now I only have 3.02 euros on my gift card balance cause I ordered Mount & Blade Warband instead. *Sigh* Gonna have to resort to downloading a rom it instead if I can’t find a way to get one or two 5 euro amazon cards. I like Blood Curse, though. Not as good and not as scary(can be pretty tense at times when your trying to sneak around the Shibito) as the first Siren, but I think it’s good. 7 or 8 out of 10.

@Maxx I’m fine with the controls for Goldeneye: Reloaded. I can’t really see myself playing an fps on the Wii because I mostly play light-gun games.

One consolation about Demon’s Souls is that the game knows how to reward you if you put in the hard work. Diligent grinding and forging of new weapons really does pay off in the long run. Levelling up can seem a real pain at times, because you have to get such large amounts of souls after a while, and could lose them all if you’re not careful, wasting 20-30 minutes of patient work at a stroke. But if you stick at it, keep buffing yourself up and working away on your weapons, it does eventually get much easier (even just with Sharpstone and Hardstone, you can finish the game quite easily).

Also, given how hard the regular enemies are, the bosses are pushovers for the most part (only the Flamelurker, the Maneaters and the boss of Level 1-4 are really all that tough). And the Archdemons are practically cut scene bosses.

I’ve made some excellent progress(in terms of my stats and the armor I got and some weapons I got as well) but, yeah, that’s what I’m trying to do so that way I won’t die so easily. Did I mention how much the Fool’s Idol Archstone is the only place that scares me in the game, lol?

Vrykolas
12-23-2011, 12:00 AM
Yeah, I tanked my way through Demon’s Souls. No finesse, no messing around with spells or ranged weapons or any of that bother. Just sword, shield, heavy armour, tons of HP, and lots of patience! Dabbled with a few miracles here and there (just basic heals really, although the ‘Come back to life on 50% health’ is mighty fine.

The Fool’s Idol did my head in big time, until I figured out what was going on. I went away and forged a special Greatsword, just so I could properly ‘thank’ that little swine on the balcony! That’s what you get for sparing people’s lives… Needless to say, I didn’t spare him the second time! You’ve made a fine choice by playing this game – you should definately play Dark Souls too, because its even better IMO. One of the best games of this or any year.

they are slow, have a rather uninteresting story, zero scare factor (minus one instance), boring characters (OOH HOW I HATE KYODA AND RISA).
the only redeeming value that upgrades them from horrible to below average is the stealth factor, and the high difficulty in some scenarios. though this can also be viewed as a downside since you are forced to do things one way, leaving no chance for creatively distracting/incapacitating a shibito.
also, mina. shes the best unbeatable boss since nemesis.

No, there is no barrel throwing in Siren ๐Ÿ˜€ Its a survival horror game where you can use a psychic link of sorts to see through the eyes of the enemies and see where they are, what they are doing etc. The controls are (as they usually are in survival horror games) purposefully made awkward and clumsy to discourage combat and make it harder to escape from enemies.

And I disagree in the strongest possible terms about the story in Siren 1+2. Both games have excellent stories, characters and atmosphere. Sure, Kyoya isn’t great, but main characters rarely are in anything really (because they are the standard ‘Hero’ whereas the others fulfill other roles like betrayer, fallen priest etc etc). Kyoya is no better or worse than most main heroes. The best characters in Siren 1 are Taemon Takeuchi (and Yoriko), Dr Shiro Miyata and Hisako Yao. Siren 2 has a great cast, with the main hero Mamoru again being the only weak link really.

There’s loads of great moments – the live autposy scene, the escape from the house of the half shibito family, any level where you’re controlling Takeaki Misawa… I love those games to pieces. The gameplay is awkward, but it always was in old survival horror games – its a large part of what made them. Newer games like RE4 and 5 have given you too much control, making them not survival horror games anymore (and people even want to be able to run and gun in Resident Evil now, which will just make it even more of a generic shooter experience).

You played survival horror games for the experience, for the horror, not for gameplay. That said, the sight-jacking was an innovative idea, it did work and gave the series it own identity. Blood Curse was so easy though, that you didn’t even need to do it anymore. The time jumping element was also great, because you’d see later events, see characters have obviously met up and decided to work together, but others who were with are now missing. It added an extra incentive to want to see what happened to them, and if they are alright, or have been killed etc.


Nostalgia gamer
12-23-2011, 09:09 PM
Are you sure that the main character isn’t a man holding an oil lamp and has to fill it and can like:reinforce the door to try to escape from some evil looking creatures that want to kill you? and light actually attracts these creatures?

I don’t know about the scrounge for oil and throw barrels at doors, but yeah, there’s a little girl with pigtails where you run away from the Shibito in Siren: Blood Curse(Forbidden Siren: New Translation)

Still haven’t finished the first Siren because of how difficult it can be.

Blood Curse was so easy though, that you didn’t even need to do it anymore.

I disagree about the sightjacking part in Blood Curse. I’ve noticed it was a little easy, but it’s a little hard for me at the same time(maybe I’m just bad?) but the sightjacking is still useful to me.

Speaking of Resident Evil, I never found any of the games to be remotely scary(probably when I was a younger, I might’ve found them to be scary, but looking back, you know), but the bgm makes them creepy. I still like the old and new resident evil games(looking forward to RE: Operation: Raccoon City)but I find it pointless to call it survival horror since it isn’t really scary(the survival part, I can understand), but, that’s just my two cents. :p

Resident Evil 1 has its scary moments, I think – its certainly the only one where the actual zombies are scary at times. The zombie in the closet for example is a classic scene, and the first time one of the V-ACT zombies leapt up and chased me down the corridor at warp speed, I practically curled up into a ball in surprised fright! And the dogs have many scenes that make you jump out of your skin (even when you know its coming, often enough!) As for actual horror, I think that bit in the Umbrella labs, where you find all those bodies hanging up in freezer bags is extremely creepy. But the other RE games aren’t very scary, being more about the survival aspect than the horror.

I can’t agree about the ‘Only one way to do it’ element of Siren. I always found lots of ways to finish levels (you have to in some cases, to get the different endings). Siren 2 ups the damage dealing of some of your characters (Takeaki and Yorito both have combat rifles as standard equipment), so they can just blitz the Shibito if they want to. Ikuko also has a special abilty to possess Shibto that she is sight-jacking, so she has more options than just sneaking.

If you’re good at timing with the combat, you can take on the Shibito so long as you find any decent weapon. It can still be tough, but I was better at combat than stealth, so I usually adopted the direct approach whenever I could. Some levels obviously do require a specific set of actions (the ones where you have to complete a level in a set time for example). But on most of them, you’re free to mix stealth and combat. Just because gun wielding Shibito are tough to deal with, doesn’t mean you can’t do it.

But mostly, its the story and atmosphere that I play these games for. And I find the story of Siren 1+2 to be absolutely excellent. I love the way the story is told, the characters, the events, everything. I would place Resident Evil 1, RE and Silent Hill 2 above them overall, and I think they’re on a par with Code Veronica, but other than that, they trump all other Survival Horrors IMO.

Blood Curse was (for me anyway) much easier, simply because the Shibto have mostly been stripped of their guns. Compared to the first 2 games, hardly any Shibto have psitols and rifles, so its much, much easier to just combat your way through the game, even with rubbish weapons. I actually found the sight jacking near useless in BC, because I just couldn’t get used to the split screen effect.

And there is definately no Lanterns, oil, barrel throwing or anything like that in Siren. Its a barrel free zone!

Everything? Not really. There’s less weapons, levels, monster variety and monsters on screen than there were in the previous game.

I bought the game on Steam not long ago and it’s okay. The harder difficulties are more tedious than they are difficult though. The campaign is fucking crazy short too. I’d have replayed it on hard, but even with Rank 5 weapons it just took too long to kill anything and it was really boring.

Re1 was very scary,and very atmospheric.
It had you tense even when there were less things jumping out at you.
Re3 had a lot of enemies jumping out at you,and far less scares.I admit,nemesis always seems to startle me.(Damm you nemy)

Re4 isn’t scary generally speaking.It has a few times where you get a little nervous or even scared,but its pretty much an action game.
The best scares for me,were:The beginning when all the ganado villagers swarm me,salvador and of course the armor guys.

Re code veronica x was the last scary resident evil,and it had a few really scary and spooky moments.

The scariest thing about Code Veronica (which has plenty of regular scares too), is how creepy and insane the Ashfords are. Most of the Umbrella execs and senior agents are pretty crazy, but they’re at least only interested in the science or making money etc. The Ashfords are actually sadistic and genuinely raving mad. I spent the game in dread thinking what might happen if one of my characters got caught by them (even Wesker’s pretty scared of Alexia!)

It does happen – and the results are typically gruesome. Claire gets away very lightly considering, and she’s fortunate as hell that Chris shows up when he does. I think the Ashfords are definately the most out and out ‘Evil’ people in the whole series.

Especially when Alexander Ashford cross-dresses as his sister and, even creepier, can imitate her voice and her personality to where it’s uncanny. I think I remember Alex still pretending to be his sister when Claire revealed his identity. Insane man. I forgot the reason why he cross-dressed as his sister. He’s funny whenever he does that fruity laugh of his, though.

i did hate: the inclusion of sheva. because the first previews showed chris alone (even in scene where sheva appears). then everyone goes RACISM! and sheva is magically put in.
thats the reason why i hate sheva (no, it has nothing to do with her being black.)

I had no problems with Sheva. Besides, she’s helped me countless times and I helped her too, so I have no reason to hate her. I actually love having her by my side :p.

I agree that the racism card that was pulled was extremely stupid. In fact, if there’s anyone that still thinks that RE5 is racist, they’re idiots.

After RE4’s reboot/reimagining etc of the gameplay, story and to an extent characters, I think RE5 was about as good a RE installment as we could have hoped for. After the travesty of RE4 removing Umbrella from the equation, off-screen and in such an abrupt hand wavy fashion in the opening credits, it was good to have some of the story arcs resolved properly. We saw Sir Spencer at last, Chris and Jill returned after lengthy absences, Wesker got his oats at last… I don’t really think we could have asked for much more in a single installment.

As for Sheva, I thought she was okay. I wasn’t too sure about the partner thing either at first, but it allows for bigger hordes of enemies to attack you (the bit where that mob swarms you after the beheading near the start, is awesome for example). And having her with you pays off later in the Chris/Sheva Vs Wesker/Jill fight in the tomb. That’s probably my favourite part of that whole game.

I just honestly don’t understand why people like RE4 over RE5. RE4 has retarded sequences like that giant statue chasing you and monks driving motorised drills through their monastry corridors to try and crush you… The whole thing was just absurd, and despite being about zombie apocalypse etc, RE isn’t usually as daft as that.

Those parts didn’t bother me in RE4, honestly.

I just honestly don’t understand why people like RE4 over RE5

I like both of them(I like RE5 a little more than RE4 but yeah).To me, I think it’s because they complained about Chris being too muscular or something(I mean, as I imagine, he’s probably been working out a lot so he can be ready when he’s needed for another mission), they couldn’t handle the fact that you have a reliable partner(on my experience), they just lost their touch by waiting for RE5 to come out and not play RE4, or they’re mad that(don’t click if you don’t like being spoiled, but you’re probably going to anyways) Wesker died at the end :p

I just felt it was stepping over the line from creepy insanity into ridiculous farce. Spencer having a crazy deathtrap mansion because he’s so paranoid of people stealing his secrets, but wants it to look artistic and stylish is fine. And the Ashfords having a carousel in their loft and thinking they are a fairytale Queen and Prince etc is a kind of insanity that I can believe in.

But making a giant statue of yourself, because you hate the fact that you are small, then making the statue able to move and stomp and attack people… That’s just nonsense IMO. And the whole ‘Kidnap the President’s Daughter’ thing is so cheesy. Its the kind of plot you get in films with Chuck Norris or even Hulk Hogan (Assault on Devil’s Island anyone?)

I’m all for cheesy moments in games, but only where it is appropriate (i.e not in established franchises that previously were not cheesy). And before you say anything about ‘The Master of Unlocking’, yes that was legendary, but it was also unintentionally hilarious, as was the FMV intro. I still love both of those things, but I don’t associate them with Resident Evil – the original version of that game is its own seperate thing really. The remake is superior in every way, and cuts all of that stuff out – which was sad in a way, but was for the best overall.

And again, that stuff worked so well precisely because it was unintentional. The makers of the original did all that FMV and dialogue and thought ‘Yep, we’ve nailed that’, whereas everyone in the western world creased up in fits of hysteria at how ludicrous it was. RE4’s outlandish moments meanwhile, feel forced and completely out of tone for the series. I mean, you’ve got a castle with a chamber filled with lava, where monks ride in on giant clockwork dragon heads, equipped with flamethrowers… Can you imagine that thing getting constructed?

Worker: So Guv’nor, we’ve got a couple of trucks coming in tomorrow with the lava, imported from that volcano like you wanted. But the platform with the giant cog wheels won’t be here til next week…

Not that RE5 is totally off the hook for this either. The bit with the ‘Lost City of the Incas’ in RE5 is incredibly daft too. It was just about believeable (but still extremely far-fetched), until they started shooting lasers at you through those lens. Pound for pound though, RE4 has far more of this sort of thing, and its entirely unwelcome. Hopefully, Revelations will be a little more down to earth, but I’m not holding my breath on that.

And the whole ‘Kidnap the President’s Daughter thing is so cheesy. Its the kind of plot you get in films with Chuck Norris or even Hulk Hogan (Assault on Devil’s Island anyone?)

Resident Evil is the epitome of cheesiness. People hold the originals in such high regard, they forget how really cheesy they were. In fact, all of George Romero’s earlier zombie flicks are cheesy, so I have no idea what you could be possibly thinking. Really, anyone who takes the RE series too seriously should take a second look at themselves and sort some things out, because I don’t believe it was ever meant to be taken seriously. Just look at the convoluted plot with as many holes as a slice of Swiss cheese.

To that end, I really enjoyed the fourth and fifth entries in the series, and I see the original PSone titles as completely unplayable. Controls were refined in later updates and entries, but I don’t find controlling your character like a tank as being fun. Sorry.

In recent news, I was playing the Wait Until I Have the Money to Play the Game I Want to Play game, but I spent all my paycheck on bills, because I figured that’d be the appropriate adult thing to do. So instead I decided to just start playing The Matrix: Path of Neo for the PS2. I had the PC version at one point in time, however the game was unplayable to the point where it crashed every time I tried to get somewhere in the game, and of course the aforementioned lag issues. Even though the game looks much better on PC, I decided to give it another shot on the console version, because there’s a greater chance that the game will actually run.

I am enjoying the experience, though it seems it’s not nearly as polished as EtM was, if you even want to consider that game as polished. I am also not afraid to admit that the game is kicking my butt. More specifically, the Agents are, and the convoluted mission ‘objectives’. It’s still fun to beat up nameless cops as Neo. Ah good times. I’d say this game is largely underrated considering the large majority of poor reviews it had received, but it really isn’t that bad of a game.


Vrykolas
01-02-2012, 02:03 AM
I couldn’t disagree more about Resident Evil being cheesy. Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising, Evil Dead etc are cheesy, Resident Evil went for genuine scares and atmosphere. In RE, your characters don’t use improvised weapons, they use guns. The zombies aren’t played for laughs, with comedy dismemberments, and them trying to open doors and bumping their heads etc etc.

I just don’t know how you can compare RE to those other things. They are embracing the silliness of zombie films, in a way RE never does. RE is closer to something like Coma. Its proper horror, not shlock. The characters don’t go around cracking one liners, and flirting in the middle of firefights or any of that nonsense. The original 3 games are (by and large) serious affairs that try and show what it would actually be like. Shinji Mikami commented that the only place they couldn’t really go in making it more authentic (at that time anyway) was putting in child zombies.

Games like Code: Veronica and Zero are noticeably more camp at times, but they still play the horror up and they still never stray into slapstick. Horror films are (and pretty much always have been) 95% exploitation and cheese. It has been well said that games like Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Siren, Fatal Frame etc are *far* scarier and more sensibly written than practically anything committed to film. Stepping over the line into pure farce is rarely a good thing, you have to know just when and how. Look at how Ghostbusters 2 turned out – both films try to be spooky comedies, but whereas the first is a masterclass of serious and silly and one of the best films ever made, the second one is just stupid, lame and a disgrace to the original. That’s how I feel about RE4 compared to at least the first 2 RE games.

It doesn’t mean a game can’t have lighter moments or be larger than life at times. We were talking about Shadowman a while back, and that’s a great mix of horror and adventure. It might have some out there moments as RE does, but I’d still say its scarier and cooler than just about any horror movie I’ve seen.

I don’t see how Ghostbusters 2’s a disgrace to the original. I think it’s great in it’s own right. Not as good as the first one, but it’s still great to me.

I’m not saying Code Veronica is a bad game – far from it, because its one of my favourite RE games. Hell, its one of my favourite games period. But the whole carousel, cross dressing, Steve’s jumping through windows with desperado double gun action, and the extremely OTT voice acting for Ashford and Wesker suggested to me that the crew were slightly more relaxed and willing to experiment with how far they could push it. And like I said before, its a fine line to tread. I think they do it perfectly in Code Veronica, because its a great mix of fun, horror and action working seamlessly.

But in RE4, it was too much. Each new sequence was ‘Check *this* crazy shit, guys!’ and it went from being pretty cool at the start, to just being farcical with monks manning hidden gatling gun platforms that pop up out of the floor whilst other monks pop in from Scooby Doo revolving door secret passages, armed with rocket launchers. In the early games, you could at least believe that the situation were true to how it would be, if this sort of thing were possible to begin with. The characters are freaked out by what’s going on, and behave as they should in such an extreme situation. In RE4, Leon is too busy cracklng cheesy one liners and making jokes about Salazar’s height to have anything like a normal reaction. He doesn’t seem at all surprised by the utterly bizarre things that are happening, like its an everyday occurance for people to be firing medieval siege catapults at him, and setting giant walking statues after him.

RE4 just doesn’t ring true in the way the early games did – the bit where Saddler grows that huge tail thing to spear Luis and then retracts it under his cloak is just so stupid… Its funny sure, but this kind of ultra campy ‘Rocky Horror Show’ antics is something that I don’t really want in a proper RE game. But that’s how Mikami has been going for years now. He kept it under control in the early games, but I don’t think its a big surprise to see him working these days on games like Bayonetta. And that’s fine, but its not what drew me to Resident Evil, and frankly I’m glad he’s no longer in charge of the RE games. I feel the same way about Hideo Kojima by the way. It just seems that the longer they go on, the more camp and outrageous these guy’s games become. But then, they are Japanese after all, and the Japs can only restrain themselves so long, before they make games like Final Fantasy X-2, Bayonetta, Metal Gear Solid 4, Disgaea etc etc.

I’m not talking about a reaction to the horror (I mean in RE4, what horror is there?) I’m talking about the utterly crazy stuff that’s happening. In RE2, he may have been getting attacked by zombies and various BOWs, but it was still a fairly realistic experience. He sure as hell didn’t have to face all the ludicrous mayhem that goes on in RE4. And his character is not developed – its outright changed into something else. He went from from a decent guy who stays calm under fire to some kind of James Bond rip off, complete with cheesy quips, gadgets, even his own verison of Ms Moneypenny! He has bond girls, vehicles, bond villains with OTT accents (‘Meester Kennedy…’) It was just painful – RE tearing up its story and characters just for the sake of ripping off Bond and selling out its survival horror roots for mass market action cash…

As for Chris and Sheva, I think they’re adequately rattled from time to time when huge mobs of guys show up and chase them. But you’re not wrong. The thing is, the precedent had already been set by RE4 by that time. That was where the series was being pushed. Its calmer and generally saner than RE4, but it does go off the rails at time, I freely admit that. Chris’ new ‘hulked up’ image, punching boulders in lava pools he is standing right next to (rocks don’t float in lava, you cannot stand anywhere near lava), and Wesker’s Matrix antics etc etc. Some of it works, some of it doesn’t, but all of it is better than anything in RE4 IMO. Because at least it is in service to a story that is actually relevant to the series, and isn’t jumping monks and evil midgets with bulldozers and rocket launchers…

Neither game is scary in the truest sense, but RE5 is unsettling at times IMO. That into sequence where you’re walking down the street with all the locals giving you the evil eye is genuinely creepy IMO. The game feels more true to life, and that ups the tension for me. I felt tense plenty of times during that game, but I never did in RE4, because it was just so daft all the time.

I should also point out again that I don’t think RE4 is a bad game. I actually think its a fantastic game, but I hate it as a RE game. If it had just had a different name and not been a RE game, I would have had absolutely no issues with it at all. Because then it would be free to be its own thing and not take RE in a direction which has ultimately been extremely harmful IMO.

Because if someone produced the greatest 3D boxing game ever, with great looking fighters and variety of moves etc, then called it Mass Effect 3, I wouldn’t be too impressed as a fan of that series. Same if they produced the legitimately greatest ever football management game and put Halo 4 on the front. RE4 was not a RE game – RE is a survival horror series, not a 3D shooter series. It had its own tone, its own story, its own identity, and RE4 killed all of that.

I don’t know when its out, but I’m quite looking forward to that too. I’m hoping that a RE game that finally has proper zombies in it again, will be a big hit and convince Capcom to put them back in the series again. It just doesn’t feel right without them. I can’t say that I’m that thrilled about the general idea of the game though – we already had Deus Ex: Human Revolution doing the whole FOXHOUND team of evil guys thing, and it just highlighted how much better it was in Metal Gear Solid.

But… I can’t help but hope its good. I’m not ashamed to say that I am a RE fan through and through, so although my better judgement says they should stop making them, I’m still pretty excited about Op: RC and even Revelations (not convinced I want to buy a 3DS for that though, because the 3DS is looking more and more like a dead console every day).

Well, the Vita will probably fail too, but I was expecting that to flop anyway. I mean, do they really expect people to pay 200 quid for a portable? Did they learn nothing from the PS3 launch?! If you charge an unreasonable price on the principle that the buyer is getting a lot of expensive tech, the answer will still be ‘We don’t have that kind of money!’ Especially with the global economy being what it is. What the hell did Sony expect?!

But the 3DS is looking dead and buried in my area. In all the shops, the 3DS has just 1, maybe 2 small shelves, and the rest of the display is made of DS games (which look identical to the 3DS ones until you get up close and see what they’re doing). The shops have plainly given up on it, because its getting the same kind of shelf space that the Gamecube and PSP got before they died. Unless some kind of miracle happens (i.e lots and lots of great games come out, instead of the absolute zero games we have now), the 3DS is done. Its still only got the old classics like Lylat Wars and Ocarina of Time. And I’m not buying a 3DS for those, because I’ve already played them!

3D anything has a bad rep at the moment, because people just think 3D is a big con, and a waste of time and money. Combine this with poor support from stores, the lack of any decent new games, opposition from phones and the like as portable gaming mediums and the fact this things tend to snowball pretty quickly (i.e everyone has made up their minds that something has failed, and don’t get one, thus confirming it), and the 3DS looks like a sucker’s bet at the moment.


chewey
01-04-2012, 03:08 PM
It’s really weird to say the 3DS is dying now that it’s really starting to pick up steam. It’s now doing really well in the US (sold more than the DS and the Wii in the same amount of time) and pretty good in Japan. No idea how it’s doing in Europe and Australia, but overall they’re pushing enough for it to be nowhere near dead. Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 are selling really well too.

As for there being no games, that’s starting to change. We’re starting to see some support on the 3DSWare side of things with Pushmo, Nano Assault, Mighty Switch Force and a port of VVVVVV. As for box releases, there’s SM3DL and MK7 obviously. Everything else worthwhile on the system is a port though, yeah: OoT3D, Star Fox 64, Cave Story 3D and SMT: Devil Survivor. Other titles are coming up in the next couple months but I can’t remember what they are.

It’s doing pretty well now, better than it probably should be doing. The Vita is doing a lot worse, but we’ll see how it goes once it releases in the US.

me too actually.
but after beating the game and finding out if you saved over your original save with another character, the original stats are lost. i raged VERY VERY HARD (and loud, fus ro dah loud) i just lost interest.

over the time, i beaten it again with all characters, but its a choir to level them.

In the early RE games, the puzzles were specifically created on the orders of Sir Oswell Spencer to create a mansion that looked stylish but was deadly to intruders. You find the diaries of the architect explaining this etc. The laser light thing in RE5 was part of that whole lost city level which was just absurd from start to finish. There’s no comparison IMO. Its pulpy Indiana Jones/Uncharted stuff, that is light years from what RE is about. And RE4 has no scary moments – it doesn’t.

As for the 3DS… well, we’ll see won’t we? I can only speak to what I see in my area, and that console is totally finished here. The games you mentioned are hardly ones that are getting people’s blood racing, and sales picking up isn’t going to mean very much in the end, if there’s still nothing to play on it. I’d argue that the Vita has a much stronger line up of games, and if it wasn’t for the outrageous price, I’d buy one.

The games I mentioned are getting people interested though. I don’t want to sound like a 3DS fanboy because I have no intention to pick up the system until the first revision, but to say it’s dead now (and not when things were looking dire mid-2011) is really weird. I just can’t see how it’s dying when they’re pushing a lot of 3DSs and SM3DL and MK7 are selling really well.

And from what I’ve read, the 3DS is starting to do pretty well in Australia too.

The Vita does appear to have a stronger lineup of games, at least for its US release. The launch titles weren’t great in Japan.

The whole re5 game,didn’t feel like a resident evil at all,but re4 didn’t either.
Re5 was even less an resident evil game though.

Currently working through Lost Odyssey, my favourite Xbox RPG to date. I’m also playing Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 – I really wanna play well with Phoenix Wright but he’s so hard to use…

Lost odyssey is quite good,but i think that seth and jansen need more development so far.
Kaim seems like the most developed,also:I wasn’t that inspired by the gameplay.
The way the story unravels from a different amount of dreams that you uncover,is actually quite nice.

The Wii sold better than anything, but that doesn’t mean I consider it a success. It all comes down to the games – if it gets great games, then I’m there. If it doesn’t, then I’m not. Simple as that, and at the moment, there is nothing that would convince me to buy one. Nintendo shafted DS users big time and the memories of that are going to be hard to erase. I want proof that there is going to be a steady stream of games that will appeal to ‘real’ gamers (or however you want to term us).

Ghostbusters 2 is an abomination. The statue of liberty… just no.

RE5 at least deals with the main story of the series and gives resolution. RE4 was a completely unrelated side story, with a character who had until then, been considered one of the lesser characters of importance. It was a reboot, and to do that by killing off the core story of Umbrella, betrayed the promise at the end of every RE game that preceded it (they all end with the heroes heading off to finish Umbrella for good). Fans stayed loyal for years waiting for that payoff, and then got shafted. RE5 at least made some effort to tie up the threads and staunch the wounds that RE4 has ripped open as it pulled away from everything the series was.

And come on… Kaim?! That guy has the charisma of a broken brick that’s been standing in a puddle for weeks. Jansen meanwhile is the clear star of that game – by far the best character. Just a shame he (and all the mortal characters) are so awful in the actual game, compared to the Immortals.

(they all end with the heroes heading off to finish Umbrella for good)
So they were all the same with no resolution is what your telling me. God forbid something grow and change. Did you even play the game? Umbrella isn’t totally absent and the way it was taken down was actually somewhat realistic in that it would be bureaucracy and stock prices that brought it down not some renegades charging their headquarters. RE 4 was a great addition to the series. Starting fresh allowed it to be great. RE 5 is good, but anything it has is thanks to 4.

As to them not being like RE games… The characters still controlled like a tank and it had all the insignia keyholes and cheesy horror of a B-movie like all the others. Anyone bitching about that is doing it just to give their tongue exercise.


Vrykolas
01-06-2012, 06:49 AM
By your logic, the early games could have resolved the Umbrella story, by tacking it onto the end. They did something like that in the movie ‘Moon’, and it was universally derided as the biggest cop out ending ever, to an otherwise fantastic modern sci-fi movie. So no, I don’t agree with you at all. When you build it up for that long, it deserves actual payoff, not some ‘Okay, forget about that now…’ in the first couple of minutes.

If Mass Effect 3 started with ‘The Reapers finally attacked, we beat them, and now there’s a new threat…’ you can bet it wouldn’t go down well. RE4 betrayed the promise it was making on its story. RE5 filled in the blanks, cleaning up after RE4’s mess.

I mean, I must have missed all the fans who were saying ‘You know what I want in a sequel – for them to ditch the Umbrella thing and do something else entirely’. Because then its something else entirely, which is what RE4 is. And get off your high horse – I already said that I think RE4 is a fantastic game. What more do you want?! Blood?

Anyway, I think I should knock this on the head now. Start of the year, and I’ve already managed to disagree with just about everybody about everything. Not exactly the way I was hoping this year would go! Its all just my opinion, so if you disagree then that’s fine.

I’d consider the Wii a success. It sold well and so did a decent chunk of its games. It has plenty of fun exclusives, too.

Anyway, if a console is selling well and games for it are selling well, it’s not dead. It makes no difference whether the platform interests you personally or not.

I don’t know how Nintendo shafted DS users. That isn’t really a commonly held sentiment either. The DS has a huge library of games.

01-06-2012, 06:52 AM
They didn’t ditch it, they added a twist on the story to keep it going without becoming stale which the series definitely was. Umbrella is still the villain. They are still teasing your precious "payoff" that you so desperately want.

Vrykolas

The DS has a huge library of games indeed – but how many of the great ones are from years following the Wii’s emergence as the leading console? Nintendo just forgot about the DS man, its been dying a slow death for years. It used to be my favourite console of this gen, but suddenly it stopped getting good games. In the last couple of years, I’ve bought the Layton games and that’s it! And believe me, I’ve been looking for games to buy on it, but there just hasn’t been anything out there.

We can each only tell it as we see it. And like I say, round here the 3DS is considered a flop and a joke, not helped by the shops increasingly shrinking shelf space for it.

01-06-2012, 07:24 AM
I don’t really think the DS’s golden age was Nov. 2004 -> whenever it became apparent the Wii was going to be incredibly popular (which was almost immediately, right?). I’d say a lot of good games came out between 2007 and now. It definitely slowed down in 2011, but even it wasn’t so bad. Ghost Trick, Professor Layton, Pokemon White/Black, Dragon Quest 6, Kirby Mass Attack and Radiant Historia all came out last year and they’re all at least good. Some are incredible, like Ghost Trick. There’s probably a few lesser titles or DSi games I’m missing. Aliens Infestation and Mighty Milky Way are both probably good (being that they’re WayForward games), but I haven’t played them.

And keep in mind it’s a little over 7 years old at this point and its successor is on the market. It’s a little unfair to expect a massive push behind the console.

Edit: I had a dig in my brain to try and think of what came out for it in 2010.
999, Etrian Odyssey 3, Dragon Quest 9, FF The 4 Heroes of Light, Unwound Future, Shantae: Risky’s Revenge, Pokemon HeatGold/SoulSilver, Picross 3D, SMT: Strange Journey, Ace Attorney Investigations (which wasn’t as good as good as AA1-3, but I wouldn’t call it bad). Those are all pretty good games, man.

First, it is a big deal to any Dynasty Warriors fan. Not being able to complete their DW7 experience, unless they go and buy a PS3 and DW7 on that (when some would more than likely have completed in it’s entirety and have all achievements for). Second, they DID screw over Xbox 360 owners. Xbox 360 owners won’t be able to experience everything that DW7 has to offer, due to the fact that DW7XL isn’t available on Xbox 360.

Not everyone has every console and as any DW fan would know, any DW Xtreme Legends pack enhances the main game with extra content etc. All Koei/Tecmo did was ostracize the Xbox 360 community, imo.

Doesn’t surprise me, as there was a precedent… Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper for PC. I’m not 100% sure if that included DW4 Xtreme Legends with the main game in the one package though… I should check on that. Still… it is a slap in the face to DW7 owners on the Xbox 360 though.

…. The Dynasty Warrior Gundam series are a damn abomination… Not even whichever Gundam is the strongest would be able to beat a Autobot or Decepticon… and it’d have 0 chance against Unicron… Or the Freelance Peacekeeping Agent, Death’s Head (Yes… got my Transformer geek on).

What has me interested in the DW series, is the fact it’sloosely based on the Chinese playwright, Luo Guanzhong’s novel ‘Romance of the Three Kingdoms’, which was based off a 1700 year old chronicle, ‘Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms’ which in turn was based off actual events in China’s early history (170AD-269AD). So yeah… I’m a fan of the DW series (and even the Samurai Warriors series… as that’s based off actual events circa the 15th century).

DW7 is on PS3 as well as DW7XL… I can’t get that version as I don’t have a PS3 and I’m not going to get one just for one game. So I still stand by my statement of Koei/Tecmo ‘screwed the xbox360 owners’. There is the possibility that Koei/Tecmo may release it on the Xbox 360 later… but I’m not hopeful.

Nostalgia Gamer:
Kaim’s story doesn’t fit him at all though, IMO. When I look at Kaim, I don’t see the guy that all this stuff has happened to. I just see a really, really dull character with some very stiff dialogue (though that is preferable to the overwrought sequences he occasionally has). I got nothing out of that character at all. He was as good as any other JRPG main hero (i.e not very), but I certainly didn’t see him as the guy they tried to build him up as. The argument over actual content of stories and characters versus how enjoyable and interesting they actually are, and which is more important is an argument that will never end. And this thread certainly isn’t the place for round 3018 of that fight.

And my opinion on RE5 is a matter of record. I’ve stated many times that I consider RE4 a better game overall, but that I consider RE5 a better RE game. And as a RE fan, the latter is what concerns me most about any RE title. Like I said earlier, I would have had no issues with RE4 at all if it had just been called something else. And I also stated quite plainly that I don’t give RE5 a free pass on many issues, but that many were precedents set by RE4. The ability to buy weapons and ammo from the many shifty traders dotted about is a) very silly and camp (but very funny too) and b) removes most of the survival aspect, when you can just restock ammo and health so easily. The inventory is also much bigger and can be increased again many times. Together with the general lack of quest related items, that leaves you free to pack your case to bursting with weapons, ammo, health etc, again taking an important aspect of survival horror (thrifty inventory management) and doing away with it. The camera is also more helpful and environments generally more open, leading to an experience that is much closer to a straight up shooter.

I enjoyed both games fairly equally. The sheer unusual bizarreness in RE4 is the product of (IMO) a more genuinely creative mind than the fairly realistic RE5, and makes for a more memorable experience. But as a RE fan, I vastly, vastly prefer RE5, because it feels much truer to the series, in terms of tone, story and character, whilst still being a very good game in its own right. When I look at RE4, I just see a game that has no relevance to RE. If you want to start a new story then fine, but finish the old one first!

Because if Return of the Jedi had started with ‘Boba Fett’s ship having broken down, the heroes rescued Han and all was well again. Emperor Palpatine choked on his dinner and died, whilst Lord Vadar broke his neck getting out of the shower. The Empire thus defeated, this is what the heroes did next…’ Or if Return of the King has begun with a voiceover from Frodo saying ‘After our difficult journey, getting into Mount Doom was actually a piece of piss – we chucked the ring into the lava, won and went home. The next day…’

In an ongoing series, it is customary to actually finish the story you are telling, and in a way that is respectful to the buildup you have been giving it. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable request. Otherwise its just like any sci-fi series that ends a season with characters lost in different times/dimensions, the world ending etc, makes you wait a year to see what happens, then resolves everything before the opening credits of the new season. Its a marketing ploy to keep fans, and it leaves a very bad taste in the mouth.

But I’ve said my piece, and I accept that fans cannot and should not always have their way on things. Anyone who pays money for a product has a stake in it, and if people preferred RE4 and paid their money for it, then who am I to say different?

Anyway, to get back on-topic, I’m playing Batman: Arkham City again. Warming up to that game now, since I started doing some of the side quests. Gathering evidence to hunt down snipers and cold calling serial killers is pretty fun. And the combat is really great. Main story sucks, but game is still a lot better than I gave it credit for before.

In RE, your characters don’t use improvised weapons, they use guns. The zombies aren’t played for laughs, with comedy dismemberments, and them trying to open doors and bumping their heads etc etc.

Then what do you call this: Resident Evil Intro – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf0EpML-AWM)

I’m sorry, that’s enough schlock for one day.

I’m currently playing through Conker: Live and Reloaded for the Xbox. This is actually the first Xbox game that I’ve actually sat down to play (not including 360 games here). Course, it is classic Rare.

That is bullshit reasoning.

The dreams explain why kaim is so quiet and rather sad.
I am beginning to think you don’t even read the dream sequences and such.
I do find that the gameplay doesn’t seem very interesting in the game,i mean:

Why do you want immortals with spells,if you got natural spellcasters like jansen?

As for re4:

yes,re4 isn’t much of an re game,but re5 is even less so.

The game is mostly seems to be centered around co op mode,and as fun as it can be,it doesn’t make up for the lack of resident evil feel.
During most of re5,you don’t see hardly anything related to resident evil during the game till the very end.And by that time,its so little that it isn’t worth it.

I do like how the lickers respond on sound in this one,very interesting.I also like how they put old diaries from way back from dr spencer.

Was playing MW3

*sigh* I swear, it feels like when a new COD gets released, the multiplayer is good after it’s release and then, in a couple of weeks or about a month, it just goes to crap(probably because of the majority of the players, but that’s just my assumption). You can’t do anything, you get killed no matter what, and a lot of b.s. happens. And the snipers are more tolerable in TF2 than the snipers COD. Snipers in COD just piss me off. If they’re going to make another one, they need to focus more on the multiplayer since single player pretty much has no problems. Maybe it’s me just sucking now and then, I don’t know.

Going to play Devil May Cry 4.

MW3’s campaign wasn’t great. It had too many on rails sections, it was too short and they’ve become too afraid to slow down the action and do something interesting with the gameplay. It’s not all that surprising the campaign turned out the way it did though, considering how messed up Infinity Ward was for a lot of the game’s production.

Each to his own, but for me the story sections in Lost Odyssesy do not feel relevant to the main game and Kaim at all. They are completely different in tone and style (they are written by a different guy who only works on those and had nothing to do with the rest of the game). Plus, only a few of them are actually good (and yes, I’ve read them all – Elegy ISland is my favourite BTW). And its not like I care for Kaim in those stories anyway, because I still find him to be an extremely dull character. The point is that in any visual media, it is never good enough to tell us things, you need to *show* us things. You can tell me a character has done this, that and the other all you like, but unless I see him doing them, it makes no impact. I don’t connect the two together – for me, Kaim is simply the guy I see on the screen and I judge him as a character, based on what he does and says in game.

It means that when Jansen is taking the mick of him for being surly, grumpy and miserable, I actually agree with him. I just don’t feel his pain or anything like that. He’s just a strangely stiff, duck footed misery guts. I don’t hate him, but that’s because I don’t care about him one way or the other. I don’t mind him, and that’s actually not so bad really, when you consider that many JRPGs have extremely irritating main characters. I could really do without that crying scene at the end of Disc 1 though – that’s one of the most embarassing things I’ve ever seen (along with the bit in Disc 2, where the kids start singing).

The gameplay is as you say, not very good at all. The gulf in quality between Immortals and Mortals is huge, and some sections have bosses that you *must* grind hard to beat, because they have attacks so powerful that they can wipe out the whole party in one go unless you’ve levelled up plenty. The whole game feels incredibly old fashioned, with random battles, and ‘I go, then you go; gameplay, and acres and acres of grinding required for levels and skills. But I still think its not a bad game by any means, and IMO the last 2 discs are very good.

Then again, its a sad thing to think about, but most horror films aren’t much better than that video!

Jansen has next to no backstory.

He has only a few parts of actual backstory so far.
As for the puppy dog eyes crying scene of kaim’s daughter:it was really corny.Its basically:Like something from a melodramatic movie.
OH NO!! she dies of the fatal unknown disease,and what better timing than right as she meets kaim.WAAH WAAH.

Those scenes are nowhere nearly as emotional as some of the writings.The old woman one kinda gets to me,because its eerie and creepy at the same time of an idea.the thought of meeting someone you knew 80 years ago,and not having aged even a bit,is creepy and eerie idea.
you have to kind of take in the thoughts,that these kind of things effect someone.He was a mercenary for 1000 years,having seen countless deaths of friends and strangers alike.I think this would eventually take a toll on you.Also:Each dream sequence does kind of talk about his advantures.Some are more interesting than others,and they also come at moments relating to where he meets and what he hears,so i think they do relate to the events.Like:The whole cell one where he was locked up with an old revolutionary in a cage during a time of a fascist dictatorship.How does this relate? Possibly his experience towards how people may react when locked up in a cage like an animal.Perhaps he wonders if people will react the same way they did in his dream sequence? getting paranoid?

I personally think,that kaim has a really good reason to be gloomy.

I personally enjoyed the campaign. I noticed it was short, but I thought it was a excellent conclusion to the Modern Warfare storyline. As much as I like COD, I agree about wanting to see something different, like zombie mode in World at War and Black Ops, for example. They at least have survival mode, but sadly, it seems like hardly anyone plays that. Overall, I think MW3’s a 8/10(mainly because of the campaign). Multiplayer, ehhhh, it’s a 6/10, imo.


Vrykolas
01-09-2012, 06:06 AM
I’m not saying that some (but definately not all) of those dream stories are good. But they are so different from the actual game, that they don’t feel part of it at all. There’s always this slightly eerie dreamy, romantic sheen to them, as he constantly meets enigmatic people with an ‘Important Life Lesson’ to share with him etc. Its all high tragedy, faith beating oppression, guilt manifesting physically etc etc etc. All well and good, but the game itself is not like that – its the definition of a standard JRPG, with no situations or characters that are remotely like those from the dream stories.

And because of that, I find it very difficult to connect Kaim as being the same guy. And even if I did, it doesn’t change the fact that I didn’t care much for him. Having some lengthy backstory with hooks to pull at the heartstrings is no guarantee of anything. Jansen succeeds because he is a fun character, who gets up to lots of capers onscreen, and is always the underdog. He has charisma, and is an enjoyable character, whereas Kaim isn’t. But anyway, enough of this, and let us never speak of that crying scene ever again…

Chapter 11 is better than chapter 5, I thought. It was fun to watch, but the game really is basically just an interactive anime. It revolves around QTEs and all action sequences revolve around mashing buttons to fill a meter so that you can press R2 to proceed to the next cutscene. I’d rent it probably, but I wouldn’t buy it.

I saw a review of a game where you hunted vampires,and the vampires were supposedly ridiculously hard to kill.

From what I know, it was considered to be the worst launch title for the 360. I personally enjoyed it, but I think they could’ve worked on it some more, so, it’s a 7/10 imo. It’s sort of like Splinter Cell, except it involves vampires known as Nightwalkers. You have to sneak around in a city while trying to avoid the vampires. Yes, they’re hard to kill, but to me, that’s the realism there because they have superhuman strength and that’s what a vampire would have which is why I found it to be understandable to avoid them. I found the backstory interesting, but wish they should’ve elaborated on some things and the ending is a bit…short and sort of meh. Not a bad ending, but again, they could’ve have done better.

Later on, you’ll get weapons that can do some damage like the shotgun and sniper rifle(and a even more powerful sniper rifle during the final chapter of the game). The only remotely useless weapon in the game is the pistol. In one mission, the machine guns will be useful because you and your team will be holding off the vampires. Also, later on, there will be Nightwalker soldiers that aren’t as difficult as the regular ones

There’s a PS3 version called Vampire Rain: Altered Species. I’ve seen footage of it, and to me, it’s isn’t really different, just improvement on the animations I think from what I’ve read.

If you want to try it out, you can get it cheap at gamestop. Just make sure you have the patience because that’s what made me like the game and be more understandable. I’m not quick to jump into the "hate this game and love that game, love that game and hate this game" bandwagon like most people nor take any reviews word for anything. ๐Ÿ™‚

Yeah, I must’ve missed that bit of the conversation, as I don’t visit this site enough to keep my comments relevant enough. Regardless, the original RE was still relatively campy despite the creator’s original intentions. I agree the remake helped rectify that, but it doesn’t erase its existence. I’m pretty sure you were a fan of the franchise before the REmake was released.

Moving on… I finished Conker: Live and Reloaded, both the Bad Fur Day portion and Chapter X. It makes me sad that I missed out on the chance to actually play those maps on Live, because I found the frenetic matches with the bots to be quite enjoyable. Though, like Perfect Dark, they have a tendacy to go crazy with the rocket launchers.

So I moved on to Penumbra: Black Plague for PC. I only made it an hour in because my friend has my power adaptor, as her’s had died, so my battery died on me. I have to go get it now, because that’s what I’d rather be doing now. Thing is; she’s on the other side of town, and there’s about a foot of snow on the ground, and I don’t feel like driving in it.

I did like the original RE, but back then I liked it for the campy schlock factor. I didn’t own a PS1 myself, so the throwaway nature of my involvement with the series at that point was twofold. I just played it at my mates houses, as an amusingly cheesy knockabout. I didn’t take notice of the series properly until I played RE2 (which at first, I was reluctant to do, because I wasn’t in the mood for more B movie campness, but was persuaded by friends that it was a big step forwards). As far as canon and what I consider to be part of the series, I do believe that the remake has completely replaced the original.

The original is simply of a different time and can only really be judged fairly on those terms. The FMV sequence at the start is awful and cheesy as hell, but so was 99% of FMV used in games around that time. Voice acting for games was in its infancy, and games companies hadn’t yet made the jump from writing a script that would appear in text, and one that actors would actually have to read aloud.

While Saints Row The Third is a good game, it’s not as good as Saints Row 2 was. Stilwater 2.0 is far bgger than Steelport, more extras to find and sucjh. I will say that the comedy in SRTT is just a good as the previous ones… though I question Volition’s decision to kill off Johnny Gat at the beginning of the game. I do suspect that one of the three upcoming DL (namely ‘The Trouble with Clones’) MAY have the possibility of a ‘resurrection’ of Gat… though that’s just a theory going around with Saints Row fans.

Felt the need for some nostalgia, so fired up my N64 and rocking StarFox’s universe in Lylat Wars 64.

Finished the demo of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning… it’s ok I guess, not worth the $108.00 AUSD pricetag though imo. Still, got my ‘Reckoner Knight Armor’ and ‘Chakram Launcher’ for Mass Effect 3 so I’m happy. Anywayz, gone back to Saints Row The Third and playing Genki Bowl VII.

No game is worth $108. None. Zero.

Well, with the conversion rates as they are, I’m sure $108 AUSD is comparable to $60 USD. Unless I’m sorely mistaken. Just adding three digits there makes it seem a whole lot more.

I can see the potential this game had… but until the price comes down dramatically, this is a game I’m not gonna buy.

Last I heard (from last night’s new), the Australian Dollar is buying arond 1 American Dollar at the moment… so Australians are paying far more for their games than their American counterparts. So paying an extra $50 for games, when compared to others… sucks ass.

Anyway, finished Genki Bowl VII DLC for Saints Row The Third last night with all Achievements earned, not that hard…so until the next DLC comes out (Which could be next month) decided to go and TRY to get the last damn Achievement I need for Dragon Age: Origins…. again.

Really now. Wasn’t aware that was the case. Well that sucks. So I guess I agree entirely with your statement. Well, evidentally, video games are way overpriced in Austrailia. Good luck on saving up for a new game release, unless you can afford the money to burn.

Well, I have beaten Penumbra: Black Plague, and so I have moved on to the final chapter in the series; Requiem. Requiem is different than the other two Penumbra titles. Where they incorporated environmental puzzles mixed seamlessly with the exploratory nature of digging further into this seemingly abandoned mining complex, Requiem differs in that it splits the environmental puzzles into individual stages. Each stage ends with a portal that needs to be activated by collecting orbs strewn about each level. It really feels more like a Portal type of experience with the lack actual in-game characters outside of the disembodied voices in your head, and being sanctioned into various tests, that must be completed in order to escape the facility. It boils down to being Portal without the gun.

That aside, it nails down the atmosphere of an abandoned mining facility, much like the previous iterations. The puzzles are fun and engaging, and the reintroduction of Red questions Philip’s sanity, as he moves to escape the facility, thus drawing the catalyst of this adventure. Though I do much prefer Clarence with his snide remarks over Red’s droll of broken English. I’m pretty I’m getting close to the end, considering that these games have only lasted about six hours each. I expect the same of this one.

Last year I spent $506.85 on games ($109.95 for Dragon Age II Signature Edition, $99.95 for Dynasty Warriors 7, $69.96 for NCIS the Videogame, $128.00 for Saints Row The Third Smooth Criminal Edition and $99.00 for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim) whereas if I was living in the US, I’d probably would’ve only paid half that for those titles. Sad thing is, here in Australia we’ve always had to pay top dollar for games ever since the NES era (I still have a copy of Star Wars for the NES with the price tag of $99.99 on it… and my Breath of Fire II for the SNES had the price of $98.00). Everywhere else the price of games and consoles are far more reasonable (I don’t think the US had the cost of a $1,000.00 for the PS3 when that first came out)… not just with prices but also with censorship of games. There’s no R18+ rating for videogames here… yet, there is the possibility of that rating finally coming out in about 2 years but until then…

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, my save file for Dragon Age: Origins was corrupted, so gone back to playing Red Dead Redemption… going to try and finish it this time.

Example: I ordered a few Forgotten Realms Novellas and some PC games, paid for them… yet never received them. Tried to contact the store in question and there was no record on their system of my purchases. So, imo I do have a valid reason not to buy things online though I do make purchases on Ebay but I pay for that with a Australian Post Money Order sent via Registered Mail.

I appreciate the words about using Amazon or other online stores… As I don’t have a credit card or Paypal account, I’ll stick with what’s easiest for me. As it is, I do get about 30% discount for games I buy from a friend’s store (only a small family owned game store) and every second hand game I purchase there I get for bout $5-$10 AUSD. Besides, last year I only purchased five games… the year before only two. If I was buying a new game every week, more than likely I would look into a online store, however as I only purchase ones which I’ve either read about online or have seen videos of on Youtube. Even if the game turns out to not be what I like, I can take it back to my friend’s store and get a full refund.

Back to Skyrim… Decided to focus on finishing the main quest as well as te Mage guild arc… then create another character to get the other achievements I missed (Just hope that the upcomin patch 1.4 fixes more of the bugs/glitches… as well as allow me to finish some missions I’ve been unable to do in my current playthrough).

I’ve started Metroid for the first time ever. I know, for being such a big fan of Nintendo, it’s like a sin to have missed the starting entry in a core franchise. However, it’s the truth; I’m a Metroid virgin. The only other Metroid title that I’ve ever sat down to play is Metroid Prime Pinball, and that really doesn’t count, even though it was a great game.

I’ve had it for quite some time now for the GBA, but never got around to it. I traded it in when I took advantage of Nintendo’s 3DS Ambassador program, so now I’m playing on that platform. I haven’t gotten very far, considering that everytime I die, I spawn back at the main entry point. There just seems to be a lot of unnecessary backtracking because of this, but I can forgive it because of its age, and its legacy. It’s definitely taking me back to MegaMan’s style of difficulty, that’s for sure.

I don’t know why, but the Metroid series never interested me(not that I think the series is bad, of course). I guess it’s because I wasn’t born earlier to play the older Metroid games.

Generally speaking, I’m not much of a fan of NES games to begin with. I find them to derivative in nature, and unnecessarily difficult and punishing. With that said, I’ve been trying to get into select titles simply because I missed out on them growing up. Case in point, Metroid came out in 1986 in the states, and I was born the same year. Wasn’t exactly aware of video games until 1990, but never actually got to touch one until about ’94, ’95.

First console game I played was Super Mario World, and I didn’t get a chance to actually beat that game until I moved out of my parent’s place in 2004.

So I have quite a bit of catching up to do, though I’ve since made it through all of the ‘original series’ MegaMan titles, all the earlier Sonic, a large majority of the classic Mario titles, and finally through the Donkey Kong Country titles. I still have yet to make it through all of the 2D Zelda titles, but I have made it through both NES one’s. I haven’t even begun to start Castlevania, Contra, or Ninja Gaiden, let alone many of the other titles that came out on the platform.

Metroid is an interesting game. It’s interesting, because even though it’s kicking my butt, I’m still finding it quite enjoyable. It’s different from anything else I’ve played before, as it gives a sense of atmosphere that no other NES game accomplished. It beckons me each time I fail, to keep plunging deeper into these mysterious caves filled with sentient creatures. The only glimmer of hope I see is when I discover that next new treasure that might assist me as I venture forth.

Aside from the scarcity of checkpoints and relatively repetitive environments, it surprisingly holds up well. The floaty controls can be excused because of the setting though. However, I’m feeling that Samus’s is more of the threat than the creatures in the environment. They’re just protecting their homes as she comes blasting in with guns blazing. Sure they’re gonna attack her if she invades their territory, as she’s alien to this environment, and I’m sure it’s gonna hurt if she touches that spiny creature that crawls along the walls. I guess that’s why she’s classified as the hunter.

So I was making some headway in Metroid’s depths (Brinstar?), everything was moving along nicely. I figured out the enemy patterns and discovered pretty much every aspect of the lower levels was basically copypasted multiple times. I was feeling good about my situation when I realized the game was running me around in circles, after which I found that I hit a deadend. What kind of boullocks is that?

I’m pretty sure I combed every nook and cranny I had access to, but I’m gonna have to look through it again. Either that, or find a map for clarification. Up to this point I had been going on my memory of the environment’s layout alone, but with the repeating level designs, I have to make sure I’m going in the right direction. If anything’s convoluted, it’s this level design that is.

Halo Wars

You have no idea how much I hate the Arcadia City mission. Especially when those Banshees keep doing that kamikaze bullshit when you shoot them down because one of them kamikezed the last transport when the evac time was 2 minutes.

Edit: Well, I accomplished it, finally, and found the "Wuv Wu" skull.

Have you ever played halo 3?

I heard that the game is better than modern warfare and better controls.

Also:I played gears of war 3 demo,and i was looking at my watch wondering if it would ever end.I was pretty bored with the game.

I also played a game called lost city.Good enemies,but not being able to have multiple weapons made me ragequit the demo.
Lost city 2 is one of the hardest games i-ve played in a while,and the most frustrating.

quote maxx skywalker quote:Metroid is an interesting game. It’s interesting, because even though it’s kicking my butt, I’m still finding it quite enjoyable. It’s different from anything else I’ve played before, as it gives a sense of atmosphere that no other NES game accomplished. It beckons me each time I fail, to keep plunging deeper into these mysterious caves filled with sentient creatures. The only glimmer of hope I see is when I discover that next new treasure that might assist me as I venture forth.

Metroid is famous for its gameplay,so:Yeah,its got amazing gameplay.Its a very very hard game,but it also isn-t too unforgiving.If you want very unforgiving evil games that will make you ragequit,then play ninja gaiden,or kid icarus.I played kid icarus,and i could never get past level 2.

quote:TouhouOtaku:I’ve been playing Pokemon Platinum, sorry to bother here considering this isn’t a question asking part of a forum.. I however am going to ask this anyway. Does this sound like a good team to you? I tried not to rip off smogon university… but who knows.. I may have…

What is the difference between each pokemon,and which one is the best.

Im curious,because i tried a few out.

I played:

Pokemon red,and ruby.

Also:I think metroid gets better and better as well,so you should next play super metroid on the snes.

The reason I suspect, is because its a block jumping puzzle game! I admit that it doesn’t sound all that amazing in terms of gameplay, but its an Atlus game and they always give you a good story and an agreeably macabre atmosphere. Besides, I didn’t think I was going to enjoy Trauma Center’s gameplay, but that turned out to be a suprisingly great little gem.

And to be honest, I’m used to receiving punishment from Atlus by now. Its like they don’t want people to play their games at times, what with the insane encounter rates in their RPGs, and the generic dungeon crawling in otherwise sparklingly well conceived games like Persona etc. Yeah, Atlus… they keep on hitting me, but I still kinda love ’em…

I’m still waiting to pick up Catherine on the cheap – around $20 maybe. I’m interested in it, but not enough to pay whatever it’s going for now (something like $40AUD in the UK maybe?). Apparently the writing in the game is pretty good right up until the end, where it all falls apart.

As for why stores charge so much for games in Australia, it’s just from when the difference between the AUD and USD was pretty big. I think it’s starting to change, though. Harvey Norman just started their direct import (http://www.harveynormandirectimport.com/) store, which mails games from a UK warehouse directly to a customer. I think we’ll start to see more changes in the big chain stores here soon enough. Big W has been charging ~$79 for new games for a while now, which is something I guess.

If you want to import games, there’s also ozgameshop.com and zavvi.com

It adds a few twists to the tried-and-true formula, but to disregard it entirely based on its similarity to its predecessors would do it a disservice, simply because it’s still a great game. MarioKart on the go is always a good thing. It also supports single card play with all the available courses, which MKDS lacked.

Played some Counter Strike: Source today before going into work. Some of my weapons skins were bugging out on me, so I had to get those fixed as well. You wouldn’t think it would make much of a difference, but swapping skins really does reinvigorate the experience that I’ve had with this game over the years.

Actually, Phantasy Star Online was the first console game to bring MMO gaming to consoles on a smaller-scale, paving the way for larger-scale MMORPG efforts such as Final Fantasy XI to the Xbox 360 and the cancelled Marvel Online. Hironobu Sakaguchi was impressed by the western MMO’s like EverQuest, wich he drew as inspiration for Final Fantasy XI.

With any luck, my copy of Catherine will arrive tomorrow. I tried to buy it from GAME last Friday – went in, found plenty of copies on the shelves, took it to the counter… and they had no copies in. Apparantly, because they’d received no pre-orders, they didn’t actually get any copies of it, but since they were being paid to display the game, thought it was fine to put all those empty boxes on the shelves…

I mean – what?! What kind of crap is that?! And they wonder why retail is struggling so much against online, when they pull stunts like this? I felt like an utter fool going up and being told they had no copies (though there was no way I could have known, its still highly embarassing).

GAME is a British games retailer.

They own Gamestation as well, I believe. But yeah, this whole sorry episode is seriously making me consider buying all my games online from now on. I just don’t need this kind of crap – if you put a games box on the shelves, you should have a copy available when a customer asks about that box.

Its not much to ask, is it? But apparently its too much for GAME…

Has anybody else played the Mass Effect 3 demo yet? The first part of it is awful.

Finally played it last night, the singleplayer portion, and found it to be rather.. meh. The first part bored me to tears… and that muscle bound nutbar James Vega, I’m hoping I can get him killed in the full game.

The second part was slightly better, but again lacking in any real idea of what to do (Go help Mordin and kill Cerberus troopers.). The graphics look rather rundown, but then as it’s a demo, one can hope it’ll look prettier when the main game comes out. I do like the new leveling up system though, being able to have more choice in how to develop powers as well as some new nes (Always liked the Engineer class… an being able to have a Sentry Turret alongside a Combat Drone… could allow for more strategy in the full game, when used with the rest of your party.

The Multiplayer aspect… Was just like I feared it would be though. Being yelled at by a prepubescent child who ran out into the open and got themselves killed, and because I wouldn’t run out and revive him. That’s just one incident, but set the pace for the rest of the time I played it. From my perspective, it’s easy to see how EA/BioWare are trying to lure others from action games to Mass Effect 3.

Still… from a demo aspect, overall it was ok. Nothing to write home about, so we’ll see what happens when the full game comes out on March 8th. I could post a ‘Wall-Of-Text’ to better describe my opinion/observation, but I think this’ll suffice.

@ANGRYWOLF: I do agree with you regarding Dragon Age Origins. It is a very good game, let down by a mediocre expansion and a sequel which didn’t really live up to expectations. Still, it’s a new universe to explore and with Dragon Age III undoubtedly in the works I’m predicting that it MAY[/b] be released next year, as Dragon Age II was released a year after Mass Effect 2’s[b] release.

To topic: Playing [b]Final Fantasy XI Online still, but also playing Saints Row The Third alongside. I have a feeling the second DLC, [i]Gangstas In Space will be released in the next week or so, as the achievements for it have already been announced (with Genki Bowl VII was released, the achievements were announced a week prior to it’s launch).

She’s reliable on the lower difficulties, but I can partially agree on that when it comes to professional mode. By partially, I mean that she can be reliable at CERTAIN points on professional mode.

I’m late to the party since you’ve finished the game on Prof already, but the key I found to beating the game effectively on that difficulty level was to take out enemies at a distant if possible. I also found not equipping the bullet proof vest and melee vest helpful since one hit depletes you danger mode with or without it.

Been thinking about playing the Mass Effect 3 demo.

Speaking of Mass Effect 3, I can’t stand certain people that are always trying to convince you to not buy a game you want to get by saying "the company is greedy, they don’t care about the customers, they’re all about money(no shit it’s all about money), blah blah freaking blah" and how they always think that just because you think a game is great(or going to be great) from a "greedy company" they think you’re "sucking their big corporate dicks". To me, imo, even if they’re like that, if I enjoy their games, or if there are games I find interest in, I’m still buying. I don’t care what they do, and whatever they do is none of my business. I just want to enjoy what I payed for, no matter what company it comes from since I normally don’t consider myself of a fan of anything.

Sorry for that little rant, but it was just something that’s been bugging me.

I’ve also played Cry of Fear and man, it’s going to be worse than Afraid of Monstors imo(not worse as if i’m saying the mod is bad, worse in terms of how scary it can be).

The arguments that some people make against certain games, is usually in reaction to the media blitz of hype surrounding those games. AAA games of all creeds and colours get far too much a free pass from the press, because the press are so reliant on developers to a) send them a review copy in the first place, b) give them exclusive interviews, previews etc, and c) earn the bulk of their revenue by having developers place ads for games on their sites, mags etc. The press is completely biased in favour of companies who can afford to pay them.

And every so often, people just can’t take it anymore and snap. So they try and counteract that hype with negative views of their own. Both sides are usually being less than honest (metacritic user scores are often a lot of 10’s and 0’s for example). But the fact is, we can’t trust the press to tell us the truth about big games. They lie about the quality of the big games, and they do it all the time. In that kind of climate, you have to expect some people will feel the need to speak out about it.

Specifically to Mass Effect 3, I haven’t played the demo myself, so I have no opinion to give. I do know that the usually rabidly pro-Bioware fans have been severely rattled by it though, as apparently its not very good at all. Comparisons are being drawn with Dragon Age 2, in a ‘Its terrible just like DA2, and this is the end of Bioware; kind of way. It probably isn’t true, but once opinion turns like this, it can be near impossible to turn it back around.

Well, I tried out the Dragon Age 2 demo in 2010(I think) and I personally enjoyed it(especially the new combat system) and had good expectations of it, but I’ve let the price drop over time like I usually do with many other games. As for the "rabidly pro-Bioware fans"(fanboys I assume. If not, never mind) you describe are pretty much one of the reasons why I don’t join any kind of fanbase. I guess you can say I’m more of a "whatever floats my boat" kind of gamer.

but once opinion turns like this, it can be near impossible to turn it back around.

I THINK I’ve seen that kind of thing happen, but I’m not entirely sure.

Oh, and the reason why I’ve made that little rant was because some guy was saying he’d rather pirate ME3 because of EA, which bothered me and I said "Pirate a great game? No, thanks." He assumed I was fan by saying "keep sucking that big corporate dick, biodrone" or something like that. He’s probably one of those "fight the big bad greedy corporation, boycott them, don’t let them take your money" types of gamers I can’t stand.

For the record, I like Dragon Age 2 as well – its just that it is regarded as an awful game, a betrayal of the series etc. When people across the internet compare a game to Dragon Age 2, they are not complimenting the game.

And I also have no real problem with EA (or rather, I have no greater problem with them than any of the other big companies). EA have produced lots of games recently that I liked (Mirror’s Edge, the Dead Space games, Command and Conquer series etc etc. People are quick to blame EA for Bioware’s perceived recent slump, but forget that without EA funding, Mass Effect 2 would never have gotten the exposure it did, would never have been able to look so good or run so smoothly. Dragon Age Origins was also rumbling along for years and years, before EA came along with the funding and the push needed to get the game out the door.

I do Bioware have gone downhill since they joined EA, but that’s a problem of their own making. They chose to sign up (and sign away their rights), and people warned them at the time what it could mean (i,e an eventual loss of identity and credibility). I still think people are writing the obituary on ME3 too soon, as we’ve seen so little of it. We should at least wait until the game is out before passing judgement.

The fact is, whether its good or not, Mass Effect 3 will be a huge commericial success, and unless its genuinely awful, the critics will give it a fairly easy ride (assuming its at least of average quality, most critics will give it a very high score as they do for all AAA games that aren’t obviously terrible).

But the quality still matters, as it will determine how people think of Bioware. They’ve been the big noise for a while now, with critics, fans and more recently the mainstream gamers, doting on them. But with Dragon Age 2, their joining up with EA, mutterings about The Old Republic being an expensive underperformer etc, they could easily find themselves on the wrong side of popular opinion, if Mass Effect 3 is seen to be a failure (particularly by their core base of fans, who seem to be the most unhappy at the moment, although some critics are starting to break cover and speak out against them too).

What they really need (and what us fans really hope they will deliver) is a game that recaptures that X factor that they seem to have lost recently. I hope Mass Effect 3 will be that game.

So, fingers and toes crossed…

VirtualBoy WarioLand. Not on an actual VirtualBoy, mind you. I have The Homebrew Channel installed on my Wii, so I’m taking advantage of its emulation capabilities. The emulator also gives me the option to view the game in monochrome black and white, that way I don’t strain my eyes looking at a blood red screen for hours on end. Looks more like a regular Gameboy game now.

So for a VirtualBoy game, WarioLand is pretty good. In fact it’s excellent. It harkens back to the original WarioLand for the Gameboy which actually allowed Wario to die, and it also reincorporated the various hats from the previous game as the powerup system. I’m actually enjoying this quite a bit more than WLII which ended up boring me. I’m only about an hour in, and I’ve defeated the first boss. The game shows you how far you’ve got to go, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be very long. So at this rate, I’ll have it finished pretty soon here.

For the record, this is my first VirtualBoy title. I don’t imagine I’ll be playing any more though, as WarioLand is the only one I had an interest in looking into. It’s not like the VB has a massive library or anything.

Just finished Mass Effect and moved onto Mass Effect 2.

I heard that there were no subtleties in mass effect 2,is that true?.

Also:Is the skill system the same in me1 and me2?

I heard that there were no subtleties in mass effect 2,is that true?.

You can turn the subtitles on via the options menu.

Also:Is the skill system the same in me1 and me2?

It’s somewhat similar, but also limited to specifics, depending on your class. For example, my current Shepard was a Sentinel, so the powers I had access to were: Cryo Blast, Warp, Throw, Tech Armor, Overload and Defender, with Stasis as my bonus power. Each ‘power’ can be upgraded to level 4. At level 4, the power evolves into one of two powers, chosen by the player. Warp can evolve into either Heavy Warp or Unstable Warp (I chose Heavy Warp).

I’ve heard the leveling system in Mass Effect 3 is different… allowing the player more room to customize their powers. I didn’t really experiment with it in the demo, but as I will have the full game in my hands in about 12-13 hours, I’ll be able to better experiment with the whole leveling system and such fairly soon.

So… back to topic. Finished Mass Effect 2… ready for Mass Effect 3.

Bioware just churn out the Star Wars, Babylon 5 and Lord of the Rings main plots over and over again. They go for spectacle and genre cliches, but they do it in a mostly entertaining way. But no, there isn’t a hell of a lot of depth to the stories. They throw a few "Luke, I am your father’ twists in every now and then, but mostly its just popcorn munching ‘Beat the evil Empire/Dragon/alien invaders’ stuff.

Its what made them all that money, so its not like they’re going to change now, is it?

Sorry… lack of sleep made me misinterpret what you were asking.

To answer your question, Vyrkolas’s reply is pretty much spot on. I will say this though… IMO, the story to Mass Effect, while your stereotypical sci-fi driven story, it does flow well and I admit I’ve enjoyed the first two installments.

Currently, playing (no surprises here) Mass Effect 3. Have to admit, I’m enjoying myself so far.

At the very least Skyrim has better sidequests than KoA. Which is saying a lot, because Skyrim had a lot of poor sidequests.

I don’t think I’d say KoA has great combat either. It’s pretty mashy and even on the hardest difficulty the game is very easy.

Is it any good orphanage? From what darth revan said about me2,it leaves me with little desire to play it.I played the second a bit,but i didn’t like it.To me:The fps parts weren’t to my liking,i prefer traditional rpgs in a sense.
Then again:If you don’t like the first game,there is a chance that you won’t play the second one,and i played the second game and didn’t like it,so it is likely i won’t play the third.

I am kind of curious about kotor though

It’s fine. It has a few more RPG elements than the second does, but it’s still nothing like the first. I don’t think 3 is worth playing unless you’ve finished 2, though. There are a few things about the game I don’t like, but I obviously can’t get into any of that.

What are the biggest changes in me3?

chewey
03-09-2012, 07:36 PM
To the gameplay? They’ve sort of made an inventory again, but not really. There’s more guns this time. You pick them up during missions or buy them at the Citadel. You can upgrade and modify (mods are also found on missions and in Citadel stores) each weapon individually. There’s also more armour customisation, with 5 (I think) different parts you can equip to. There’s also expensive sets of armour that are just a one piece thing. Armour affects your stats, but this is all represented with percentage bonuses rather than plain numbers. They also expanded how you upgrade your powers a little too, with the later tiers being broken up into two paths so you can specialise a certain way.

The changes are very minor.

And:How does the skill system work in kotor?


Enkidoh
03-10-2012, 02:26 AM
In KOTOR? Or TOR? (I presume you mean the later ;)).

There’s about 18 planets so far available in TOR (Typhon, Korriban, Hutta, Ord Mantell, Coruscant, Balmorra, Alderaan, Tatooine, Dromund Kaas, Taris, Belsavis, Voss, Hoth, Nar Shadaa, Corellia, Ilum and Quesh) but some of those are class/faction specific (in particular, each class starts off on it’s own specific world which other classes can’t visit yet – for instance, Jedi classes start on Typhon, the world where the order was first founded; Sith classes start on the Sith homeworld of Korriban, Smugglers on the Hutt homeworld of Hutta etc).

Having said that though, the zones on each world are huuuge, and really do take forever to fully explore every detail of them. It’s also obvious that Bioware has plans to introduce even more playable worlds to the game later on as well (I’m hoping for Dantooine myself ;)).

As for TOR’s skill system, it’s not too different to the DnD-derived system used in the first two KOTOR games – with some changes. Each class has their own set of abilities – however, unlike KOTOR I and II you can’t access new abilities to learn them directly through the menu. Instead, each time you level up, you have to find a special class trainer NPC in every city, and actually buy the abilities (which are then automatically added to your ability list), kind of like buying magic spells in old-school RPGs. It can be annoying though, especially when you’re stuck in the middle of a dungeon and you level up, and are unable to get back to a city area to gain new abilities.

The Skill Tree system gained with an advanced class at level 10 though is very much straight out of the original KOTOR games and most MMOs in general – each time you level you gain a Skill Point to use to boost stats and ability parameters, further tweaking your character’s strengths and weaknesses. It’s actually very straightforward (I thought so anyway). ๐Ÿ™‚

Do you ever plan to put up a video of a lets play?

Well, Disgaea is a strategy RPG, rather than a JRPG as such. I’ve only played Disgaea 3, and it was okay I guess. Nothing to rave about, but then I’m not much of a SRPG fan anyway.

The most important factor is that its a Nippon Ichi game, and they are an acquired taste. They make no effort at all to modify their games for western audiences, so they’re *really* Japanese in style and tone. They are made for Jap gamers, and are released over here to appeal to the niche audience that appreciate such games and everything that comes with that.

Basically, they’re just about as niche as it gets.

Hard to describe. The gameplay is kinda like MGS4, with a variety of stealth and combat missions along with the story missions. Also you can recruit soldiers to fight for your group of mercenaries, upgrade and research weapons and gear, and even constuct your very own -REDACTED-. For a PSP game, the sound and graphics are great. Controls transfer well to the PS3. I haven’t finished it yet.

Story follows Big Boss in 1974 Costa Rica. He is leading his own merc outfit, Militaires Sans Fronti???res (Soldiers without Borders), and gets embroiled in a CIA and KGB plot for the fate of Latin America.

I can get him down to around 100HP left, but my companion inevitably succumbs and before I know it, the damn darksider is tearing through my HP with Force Lightning and Force Choke. A brutal lightsaber strike inevitably finishes me off.

Lightsaber strikes, Force attacks/enfeebs (especially Force Lift and Mind Crush), even stims, but nothing seems to give me that edge I need to finally beat him. And med packs/Force healing are not much of a help either – med packs have a stupid cooldown delay timer on them (in keeping with most MMO healing items), and the Force healing abilities available to a level 17 Consular/Sage are lackluster at best. Meaning they’re pretty much next to useless.

I know I could shout for help for someone to help me duo the prick, but half the reason I like the game so much is so far up to now I’ve been able to solo pretty much everything in the main storyline with just my Trandoshan NPC companion.

I was going to check out the beta but the download was too big for it to be worth it. Initial impressions of the game from Monster Hunter dudes expecting a similar battle system were disappointed, so I lost a bit of interest. Looks more like PSO/God Eater than MH to me, which doesn’t interest me at all.

Saying that, I’ve been messing around with the RaiderZ alpha the last couple days because it is apparently inspired by Monster Hunter Frontier. It’s okay, but the monsters not being instanced and the combat system being simple/hotkey based is a little disappointing.

I wish I could play MH Frontier.

Well, no. He’s a very real boy that Shepard is inexplicably haunted by throughout the game. What they use him for at the end is just more retarded shit. The entire ending is extremely stupid.

SO

BAD.

I didn’t want to spoil it for him… however,

the Boy does have three aspects. The first he is a live boy Shepard meets while leaving Earth (though I’m skeptical as no one sees him to help him on the shuttle). Second, he appears in Shepard’s dreams, as a embodiment of what was lost. Third… the Catalyst (when originally it was meant to be Javik the Prothean squadmember who was the Catalyst, but due to the leaked script in November last year, everything was changed… for the worse) in control of the Reapers… stupid deux ex machina…

The ending made no real sense at all, too many inconsistences. Also, a lot of choices from the first two were rendered moot (Big one being the Human-Reaper hybrid and the destruction of the Collector Base meant nothing as Cerberus has outfitted all of their troops with Reaper tech… and the Human-Reaper hybrid (or remains) are located within Cerberus’s headquarters).

In a way, I can understand the fans ‘outcry’ regarding the ending… and I guess I can understand the polls/petitions and other online movements to change the ending… Even the BBC in the UK has taken note of this.. ‘drama’. Though some are going too damn far… one fan’atic’ has even filed a suit with the FTC about this. Some on other forum suspect BioWare has deliberately kept the ‘real’ ending aside to be released as DLC and say that the current ending involves

Shepard being indoctrinated, by all of the Reaper tech you encounter in the games and dlc, and manipulated by Harbinger/The Catalyst.

That ‘theory’ has garnered a lot of attention and some suspect it to be true. In any event, not going to derail this thread into a Mass Effect 3 discussion. If a thread is created for it, fine.

Back to topic at hand… had the urge to go back to Dragon Age: Origins.

Some these politicians are just dirty, like the Salarian dalatrass. Every dirty deal given to me, I just turn them down, no matter how worthy the rewards are.

Edit: Just spoke with EDI at Purgatory where Joker’s at too. For a sophisticated AI like her, I didn’t expect her to say "called him on his bullshit." xD

The Salarian’s deal is considerably more reasonable if Wreav is in charge of the Krogan, rather than Wrex. And be fair to the Salarians – the Krogan are the ones who bring politics into this in the first place. Despite the fact that the galaxy is being destroyed, they refuse to lift a finger to help until they get what they want.

Look at it like this – if your country was being invaded and someone suggested you open up all the prisons and let people who had proven themselves to be violent, aggressive and an enemy to your people free to combat the enemy, give them all pardons etc, would you think it was a good idea? Particularly if you knew they blamed you for being in there in the first place and had been dreaming of getting even with you all that time?

I’m not saying the Krogan don’t have a right to freedom (I support them in fact), but it isn’t a Black and White issue. They *are* dangerous, under Wreav they *are* looking for revenge, and negotiaton at the barrel of a gun is no negotiation at all. Curing the Genophage could well lead to a murderous campaign of bloody revenge against the Salarian Union.

Bioware have always been biased against politicians and romanticise the ‘good honest working class folk’. They over simplfy issues of all kinds, and this is no different.

I guess I would’ve went with the dalatrass’ deal if Wreav was in charge. But I’m glad Wrex is in charge instead of Wreav on my side, because he wants to lead the Kroagan forward and not into a fight with the Salarians.

Vrykolas
03-22-2012, 12:02 AM
No way – Wreav is a milllion times more interesting than Wrex in this game! Seriously, having played with both in charge, I enjoyed the Wreav playthrough far more. Wrex isn’t written very well at all in this game – he’s far too laid back and passive (for a Krogan, and particularly compared to Wreav). Wreav’s banter with Mordin is also much, much better (Mordin absolutely detests him).

I agree that Wrex is ‘the better choice’ from the perspective of wanting peace. But that’s just the chance you have to take with these things. Its hypocritical in the extreme to go around extolling the virtue of freedom for the Krogan and how wrong the Genophage was, then only cure them if they have a leader who promises to behave and not cause trouble for you.

Its still a measure of control that you are exerting over another race. Shepard has a damn cheek coming along and shouting the odds at all these races like he knows what he’s talking about. Its like if Obama went to Israel and Palestine and said ‘Look, instead of fighting all the time, just don’t. Can’t you see how stupid you’re all being?’

He’d be chucked out on his ear at best, lynched at worst.

So do I (which is why I hated ME2, because I refuse point blank to work for Cerberus), but I’m just saying that Wreav is an enjoyably horrible person with a lot more charisma than Wrex. Wrex is an optional character, based on a choice you made in ME1 (which a lot of people haven’t played). The canon version of ME2 (the one you got before that interactive comic intro was made available) states that Wrex died on Virmire.

And if you play through with Wreav in command, you can see they put in a *lot* more effort with his story than with Wrex’s.

Anyway, currently trying to decide if I really want to buy RE: Operation Raccoon City. The reviews suggest that its a truly appalling game, and not in any way like a RE game, or indeed good in any way at all. But… its got zombies in it again, and its RE and I really, really want to play a RE game again…

It looks fun to me. Plus, it has a Nemesis Mode(where two teams fight for control of Nemesis, I think) for download at a cheap price. That, and I’d say screw reviews. It’s up to you if you want to buy it or not. Though, I suggest letting the price drop because every single game is not worth buying at full price imo.

When it comes down to it, reviews are reviews. Someone is always gonna like something you don’t like and vice-versa. The only way to truly know if a game is worth playing is try it for yourself. I take reviews with a grain of a salt.

Neg & company will probably lynch me for this, but despite the great reviews Silent Hill: Shattered Memories got, I thought it was awful. I stopped playing 15% into the game because it was so boring to me. I even tried to go back and play it after a month hiatus from it and simply couldn’t not get immersed into it at all. However, for those who found the game interesting and playable, more power to them.

I get what you guys are saying about reviews, but the price of games is just too steep now to take any chances. Op: Raccoon City got a 3/10 from a review site that I generally agree with for most games. Apparently its a woefully made game that is technically incompetant on just about every level. And Downpour has got a rash of ‘Its okay, but nothing special’ reviews that are typical of the later Silent Hill games.

Waiting for the prices to drop is one solution, but the longer you wait on these things, the less you bother after all. There’s always something else coming out that demands your attention more than some game which got crushed in its reviews. (The fact it has gotten bad reviews means it very likely is rather bad, as reviewers hardly ever hand out really damning reviews for full price games, these days).

I don’t know… I might give them a go, if nothing else turns up.

Well the ending to KotOR II TSL goes into the Star Wars novel, Revan by Drew Karpshyn, which in turn ties into The Old Republic. When I finished ME3 the Monday after it’s release here in Australia… I honestly thought wtf is this? There were too many inconsistences and things which just didn’t make sense at all. Some choices which were critical to the plot of ME and ME2, in ME3 were voided anyway. Only read the spoiler if you A: have already finished ME3 or B: don’t want spoilers.

Big one here… the Collector Base and ProtoHuman-Reaper hybrid… if you choose to destroy the base in ME2, in ME3 tech from the base is implanted into Cerberus soldiers and the ProtoHuman-Reaper hybrid is stored in Cerberus HQ! Therefore your choice at the end of ME2 is rendered pointless.

Even the so called ‘only backdoor’ to the Citadel in ME3 is incorrect. Instead of the ‘Beam of Light’ protected by Harbinger… what about the Conduit on Ilos? That’s still active… so instead of going to Earth straightaway, why not head to Ilos and use the Conduit and get it done? Why not tell the Catalyst (Who aparently can’t activate the Mass Relay by itself, so it sends a message to the Reapers, who then send a message to the Keepers to open the Citadel Arms? wtf?) to take his Control/Destroy/Synthesis endings, shove it down it’s throat and go fight the Reapers and destroy them with all the ships/troops etc you’ve amassed? AND WHY THE FRAK IS THE NORMANDY ESCAPING IN A MASS RELAY FROM EARTH, CRASHES INTO A PLANET AND WHEN JOKER EXITS, WHY DOES HE HAVE YOUR TWO SQUADMATES WHO WERE BY YOUR SIDE ON EARTH WITH HIM? There’s just too many damn inconsistences in the ending we have…

BioWare lied multiple times to their fans about ME3. One: Multiplayer will not be in ME3. Lie, as it was put in. Two: You can get the best ending in ME3 without playing multiplayer. Lie, as if you don’t play multiplayer, you can’t increase your galactic readiness rating past 50%, to increase your Effective Military Strength (At 50%, your EMS is half of your Total Military Strength) to beyond the 5000 EMS mark to get the ‘best ending’. Also… you need to play the multiplayer regularly to keep your readiness rating up, as it decreases by about 1% a day…

In a way, I can understand why people are so upset/angry about this… but going to the FTC about it? Even the BBB? Even Ray Muzyka and Casey Hudson have said they stand by ME3 and it’s current ending. Any possible ending dlc, no matter how it’s implemented, will cause more unrest amongst the fans and ME community. Some want a ‘Fallout 3 "Broken Steel"’ style ending fo ME3… others want a new ending altogether…

I would probably play ORC if it was developed by Capcom. I’ve played a lot of Capcom games that didn’t score well on Metacritic and enjoyed them a ton. However, it’s made by Slant Six Games, who previously worked on some SOCOM spinoff games which weren’t any good at all.

The solution to this problem is to rent it.

KOTOR 2 isn’t a fair comparison at all – it was rushed because of a deadline that Lucasarts brought so far forward, they had to rush to get the final third of the game to even exist at all, let alone make sense. Obsidian even offered to put the extra content in later, but Lucasarts refused. Mass Effect 3’s ending wasn’t a victim of someone else’s enforced deadline – it was just a rubbish, self indulgent ending. A bad ending, as opposed to an unfinished ending.

You can’t blame Obsidian for that ending – it is in no way their fault.

Oh yeah, and I bought Operation Raccoon City after all. Its titanically awful… but I’m enjoying it lol! It really isn’t a very good game at all, but I have never liked the series once it stopped focusing on Umbrella, Raccoon City, STARS, etc. So this has all been like coming home to a time when I truly loved this series. The zombies are back, Raccoon City’s back, Umbrella are back, even HUNK’s back! So as dodgy as the gameplay (and voice acting) is, I still kind of love it, because its as close as the series has come in ages to being ‘Proper Resident Evil’.

By which I mean its at least including the themes and characters and events that made the series great. It still isn’t a survival horror (though this game in particular never pretended that it was), but I’ll take what I can get. The story of RE from RE4 onwards, just bored me to tears and I’m pretty much done with the series this days (no interest in Revelations, and very likely won’t bother with RE6 either).

But yeah, this is proving to be a terrible game that I really, really like!

Wasn’t blaming anyone, I actually think that the ending of KotOR II would be good if it had a better execution. I hate the Engine of KotOR because it make looks the expresions and the actions all cheezy and ugly. I still find the game fun though. And I love the Storyline.

But the ending although it was rushed, it closed the storyline well. But because it was rushed a proper cutscene wasn’t made so it feels empty and Unrewarding.
Yeah, it wasn’t Obsidian’s Fault. But it wasn’t fault of the players either to buy an unfinished game when it was sold like a fully completed game.
Same case of FFXII, we have a game with 65% of storyline completed, the rest was filled by other people.

And I’m totally with ya on supporting Obsidian & FFXII, hell I’m the first person to raise from my chair and defend XII from the Haters and one of the few that say that KotOR 1 sucks compared to KotOR II.

But it doesn’t change the fact that KotOR II ending felt unrewarding.

And for Mass Effect 3 to have a ending that people are so vocal to actually go and make a whole internet movement to request for a new Ending.

I have mixed feelings on this.

Its not really a case of ‘so bad, its good’ – i.e its not good, because its comically bad or anything like that. Its more a case of it satisfying a need I have (i.e nostalgia for the story and setting of RE when it was at its peak), despite being a pretty bad game in and of itself. Its also criminally short, and I finished in about 5-6 hours, so I wouldn’t recommend anyone buy it full price. But despite its litany of failings, it has its moments.

And despite claims that it isn’t considered canon, there is no reason it couldn’t be, unless you choose the ‘evil’ ending. If you choose the Good ending, there’s nothing in this game that would disrupt the canon timeline (it would alter a few scenes from RE2 very slightly, but only in small, easy to accept ways). I quite enjoyed the story, and I hope they reconsider the game non-canonical status, because I’d like to see the Umbrella team return. They don’t get much charterisation, but I have to say I like all of them. Its interesting to see the regular Umbrella staff’s perspective on things (the USS and their commanders are efficient and ruthless, but are nevertheless generally sane and practical, unlike the complete nutjobs that own the company – i.e the Ashfords, James Ford and Sir Ozwell Spencer etc). The team may look larger than life on paper, but they’re actually a pretty sensible and professional bunch.

As for KOTOR 2 and ME3 – my point was that comparing them is unfair and potentially very damaging for innocent parties like Obsidian. Both games have bad endings, but for totally different reasons. ME3’s ending was simply down to poor writing and hubris from the creators to create an ‘arty’ ending, instead of the one that the players would have wanted. They completely disregarded the needs of the player for closure and completion, going instead for one of those irritating endings that leave people going ‘Huh?’

I know you have a solid grasp of the situation on these things, but so much ignorance persists on the internet about games like KOTOR 2 and FF12, with people just going for knee jerk ‘Obsidian screwed it up/Square screwed it up’ etc etc, willfully refusing to accept that there were mitigating circumstances in both cases. But with ME3, this is the exact opposite – it actually *was* just a case of Bioware’s senior writers and management screwing up.

Another thing which caused some fans outcry with Mass Effect 3… the DLC "From Ashes" which was available in the N7 Collector’s Edition was also availble for purchase on PSN, Xbox Live etc on the day of it’s release.
Worst of all is that they had the nerve to make something like that DLC. Never would I have imagined they would take out something so important to the series and make it DLC.

According to one of the many ‘leaked’ blogs and statements to various online sites, EA were behind the push for the multiplayer "Galaxy at War", using fear tactics on BioWare staff (according to one ‘statement’ a EA official threatened to sack a female BioWare employee), the DLC "From Ashes" being paid DLC on Day one and other things… That’s only IF you believe what’s being said.

Regarding the DLC… apparently that was included in the original game but was different than what it is now. The Prothean Squadmember, Javik, was meant to be the Catalyst and sacrifice himself at the end. But because of the leaked script in November last year, BioWare was scrambling to write a new ending… which in the end Casey Hudson and Mac Walters wrote it themselves, against what the writers had and because of EA wanting the game ready for release in March. In short, and according to what’s being said online, it’s EA’s fault for the mess Mass Effect 3 is.. but that’s only IF you believe it. Myself… Done with it and moving on.

Although I don’t support the idea of Day 1 paid for DLC, I’m actually relieved that ‘From Ashes’ wasn’t a mandatory part of the game. I have a real problem with the idea of a Prothean sqaudmate. It just seems too much, too hokey an idea – the old ‘Last surviving member of his race’ wheeze).

So whilst EA or Bioware or whoever’s behaviour on this issue is as repulsive as we’ve come to expect from modern game companies, it actually worked out pretty well for me.

I finally defeated Bowser in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, so now I’ve started Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded for the DS. It’s fun, but it seems like an abridged version of the original game with some new content and an entirely different story. I don’t mind playing Kingdom Hearts again, because it brings back some nostalgic memories, albeit in a much more condensed form.

The only problem I have with the game is the way it shows the in-level dialogue. This can be attributed to the fact that it’s merely a conversion of an iPhone game, as it is quite jarring when it pops up with stills of the characters speaking to each other through text bubbles. I suppose it’s acceptable to some degree as some RPGs incorporate this method of storytelling, but I think I would have preferred an anime/manga look vs. a flat representation of their in-game models.

Speaking of flat, I totally did not expect Kingdom Hearts to throw a sidescrolling platformer at the end of a level. Talk about being broadsided by a new game mechanic.

I feel pretty good about the game, though – it was pretty amazing. The game makes use of its camera and sound/music so well. It’s probably the best looking game I’ve ever seen, too.

Yeah I have registered on the website. I wasn’t aware that I needed a sub / game time card as well as purchasing the game so I will head to EB Games today to pick one up.

A few points Purrr on TOR:

Firstly, you don’t need a prepaid game card to play TOR – you can use a Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card for the subscription fees if you have one (which I assume you do seeing as you played FFXI and XIV after all ;)). I use the same Visa debit card that I use to pay for my FFXI and FFXIV fees myself, so I know debit cards are accepted (as long as the card is active with money in the account naturally ;)).

Secondly, the reason I signed up on an US server, even though I bought the game on it’s Australian release, was because when I went to create my character, the three Aussie servers had just gone online and were all congested at that time, so rather than wait til their current populations dropped, I just went ‘bugger it’ and chose a US PvE server at random instead – Wall of Light was the one chosen.

Finally, according to the official Old Republic website (http://www.swtor.com/server-status), there is no server named ‘Balmorra’ listed – I think you might be confusing the Australian server Dalborra with the actual planet in the game called ‘Balmorra’ (which is the starting world for Republic Troopers and Imperial Agents). Either way, there’s not too much trouble being an Aussie player on a US server as I stated earlier. ๐Ÿ™‚


Purrr
04-03-2012, 11:45 PM
Ah yes, looks like I am getting confused lol. Dalborra is the server.

Also I don’t have a VISA / Mastercard. I borrowed one for FFXI and FFXIV and just paid cash to that person.

DoDoRay9000
04-05-2012, 08:27 AM
I never played WoW and probably never will. I just like exploring, crafting weapons, cooking food, doing some killing, plus, the events can keep you busy. PVP, I could care less about.

The luerers, I guess you’re talking about the people that lure players out in to the wilderness, kill them and take their stuff? Had that happen to me once(thankfully, I’ve only gave him some money and that was it) last year, learned my lesson, and never trusted anyone in Runescape.

But you can’t really compare a browser-based game with a game like WoW. I’ll just quote what Speff said

It is a terrible MMO, if you compare it to ones you download. This is a browser-based game. If you compare it to other browser-based games, it is the best.
And what Mario Kinnikuman said.
It’s like trying to compare a handheld game to a console game, they’re two discrete categories

I’m going to try out the original SCP 087. I’m probably going to be down right freaked out because of the darkness and how random the events are. Plus, I’ve seen footage of that thing and I didn’t want to meet it at the end.

Edit: Welp, I was downright terrified seeing shadows coming at me twice, making me breath so hard and leaving me shaking and my hands and legs tensed up. And since I knew what as going to be waiting for me, I just quit. Ugh, this game played with my fear of the dark. I’m feeling cold now. ๐Ÿ™

A person gave me a membership for a short time,and i got bored.
Mining is boring as it gets
Agility course is almost as boring,but at least the track in karamja is slightly more fun than mining with a bunch of bots who butt in and take the mines before you can
Cooking is less boring,but its still boring and tendious.Heck,without a macro,this game would be too boring in some areas,but at the same time:Macros ruin the game.

The people are also all children,so you can expect a lot of immature kids out there who troll,and let me tell you:The actual people in runescape are the worse community in online gaming.Seriously,these kids are obnoxious.

The lurers, I guess you’re talking about the people that lure players out in to the wilderness, kill them and take their stuff? Had that happen to me once(thankfully, I’ve only gave him some money and that was it) last year, learned my lesson, and never trusted anyone in Runescape.

The pvp sucks anyways,i mean:Getting loot revolves around pvping,and the pve and pvp content is imbalanced.Heck,what are the drop rates of good loot? and you know why? its because people rip off other people and sell their goods.This is a very bad system that is saying:Take advantage of the suckers who are too weak or too new at the game.Its not exactly a good idea to be having people steal all your shit while you are desperately trying to farm dragon bones,or simply farming for slayer,and then some asshole shows up and ganks you and steals all your hard earned work,while he does 0% work and gets 100% profit.

But you can’t really compare a browser-based game with a game like WoW. I’ll just quote what Speff said

Yes i can,browser games are low budget games,while big team games are higher budget games.High budget games get professionals,and besides:People compare wow and runescape all the time.I hear people on both side hating on one and the other.
I keep hearing runescape sux wow da best,or:Runescape da best wow sux.

Its not that bad of a game,but it is low on my list of games i would play.It wouldn’t be so bad if they added more content for free players,because otherwise:It isn’t worth it.This is one of those games that you truly benefit from being a paying customer,because unlike its title:It may be free,but it is mostly pay to play.

Its areas where you pay can be fun,because you get all sorts of goodies,but if you are going to pay,you might as well pay a little extra in time cards in your electronics store,and get twice as much contents graphics and better gameplay.

Been trying to play Silent Hill: Downpour, but… man. At times it seems to have promise, but the exploration is so unutterably boring, and the combat is pretty damn awful. Its also a real kick in the teeth that the only thing this game faithfull replicates from the older installments is the miserably bad puzzles.

To be fair, I am actually quite interested in the story (its not amazing by any means, and the voice acting is fairly flat, but its good enough that I do care to know more), but I just don’t know if I’m going to be able to last the distance. I’m really not enjoying playing it at all, and gritting my teeth and bearing the pain for the meagre scraps of story I’m getting, is pretty thankless work. I’m thinking I might just watch a playthough video on Youtube or something instead.

I’ve read some news that Bioware is going to release free dlc called "The Extended Cut" which will fix the ending in Mass Effect 3. I haven’t seen the ending yet, but when I do(if the ending really is that disappointing)I’ll definitely be getting it. It comes out in the summer. This is very generous of them and it’s also nice to see that they listened to their fans.

Vrykolas
04-06-2012, 07:20 PM
Its not a fix – the ending will stay. They’re just offering a bit more explanation, which isn’t in any way what the fans were asking for. They were dismayed at how awful the ending and its implications for basically everything about that game’s setting was. And that is not changing, and Bioware have said as much.

Also, you speak as though they’re doing this out of the kindness of their hearts and how much they love their fans etc. This is absolutely not the case – they’ve been getting slammed by those fans for over a month now in an extremely public and humiliating way. The fans have been review bombing them, trying to shame them by donating to charity, and just generally trashing them every hour of every day. For *weeks* now. Do you honestly think there is any love left at Bioware for their fanbase now? I know what EA probably think of them…

This is the cheapest way they have available to try and salvage something out of this mess. Redoing the whole ending would be so expensive they would have to charge for it (which would be an outrage), and it would take too long anyway, when they are getting thrashed in terms of PR. So they are simply adding a couple of cutscenes to the ending, but without changing the content of those endings, its like putting a plaster over a chainsaw wound.

And yes, the ending is every bit as bad as people say it is.

In the interim I’ve been playing SWTOR (currently level 23 Sith Assassin), and frankly, it’s garbage. The storylines are great but as an MMO, it falls flat on it’s face and is ugly and boring.

I recall you saying something similar to this, regarding FFXI Purrr… specially the parts about ‘ugly and boring’. I’d comment further, but I honestly can’t be bothered…

Been playing Mass Effec 3 Multiplayer a bit lately… have my Engineer and Soldier at 20, wih my Infiltrator close behind at 18. Not bad for a add on, and apart from being required to play it regularly to ensure you can get the retail ‘best’ ending (until Summer in the US, with the Expanded Ending DLC will be released free of charge), it is rather enjoyable. On Tuesday (10th of April), the Resurgance pack will be made availablem with two new maps, as well as more character races… I’m dreading the Krogan Vanguard, as the majority of Vanguard players in MP suck.

That’s why I said the ‘majority’, as most use a Human Vanguard and spam biotic charge and nova, non stop. I’ve lost count of how many missions I’ve been on with Vanguards in the party, who ‘Lone Wolf’ and get stuck on the far side of the map, with no other team mate near them and die, because of that damn combo.

I’m going to try to get Infiltrator, Adept and Sentinel to 20, then promote my Engineer and Soldier and then just work on those last two classes, as I enjoy them the most (Maybe Infiltrator too… as I hate the Sniper Rifles this time around, so I use my Avenger X Assault Rifle and Predator VII Heavy Pistol combo). Vanguard? I honestly don’t know if I’ll ever level that class… more than likely I’ll just leave it to level up whenever I get a Vanguard XP card from a Veteran/Spectre/Premium Spectre Pack.

Edit: I’m really getting sick and tired of these people leaving without at least saying they’re leaving on Galaxy at War.

I try to say that I’m leaving after X amount of matches to the squad leader, though most of the time if we’re in the lobby and a person ups and leaves, that’s fine tbh. It’s when they leave DURING the match, on Wave 10 or so, when it bugs me.

Yeah, I know what your talking about, met one for the first time recently who was practically "stealing all the glory" so to speak and kept getting himself in harm’s way, which irritated me. I thought to myself after that "the next time I meet someone that does that crap, I’m not going to revive them, because that’s they’re own fault for not sticking with me and the others." Plus, two players didn’t even attempt to go one of the points where you have to disable something. They just camped at a certain point and kept killing the enemies while me and the "Biotic Charge Nova combo whore" were dead.

On Bronze difficulty (Go ‘Lone Wolf’ on Silver or Gold, kiss your ass goodbye), you can ‘sort of’ go off on your own depending on your class. For example, when there’s a mission to upload data terminals (4 of them), as a Infiltrator, I do run off for the teminals, cloaking when enemies are near or right on top of the terminal. Sentinals can take a decent amount of punishment as well, thanks to their Tech Armor (Especially a Krogan Sentinal… they’re damn tanks!), but if a Adept or Engineer runs off and solo’s, you have to either keep near them or just kill the enemies asap, as at the end of a wave, any dead teammember is brought back online automatically.

Like I said in post #4693, I’m truly dreading when the Resurgence Pack is made available tomorrow night (Tuesday), as Krogan Battlemasters (AKA Vanguards) will be coming:

I’m interested though in the Geth Infiltrator and Engineer though, more so than the Batarian Soldier and Sentinal (The Asari Justicar class will also be brought out). Also with the Resurgance Pack the following will be available:

Two new maps (Firebase Condor: Located on Palavan’s moon (most likely the one from the SP campaign) and Firebase Hydra: An abandoned ex-Quarian colony (Which actually looks quite interesting)), three new weapons (Striker Assault Rifle, Kishock Harpoon Gun (as I do like the Graal Spike Thrower, I’m a little intrigued about what this one’ll be like) and Geth Plasma SMG (If it’s anything like the Geth Plasma Rifle, should be very nice), as well as four new consumables (Strength Enhancer (melee bonus), Targeting VI (headshot bonus), Stabilization Module (weapon stabilization bonus), Shield Power Cells (shield recharge delay bonus)). There’s even a trailer for it Mass Effect 3: Resurgence Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BasebmHiqIo) and the good thing about this pack, there’s no cost involved for downloading it.

Yeah, me too. It doesn’t bother me in the lobby, just in-game.

To be fair though… if some people have to leave for certain situations and let the squad know about it via mic, then it’s ok I guess…

I whore for GOG:
Get Your Free Copy Of Fallout At GoG Now!

http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/fallout
Yes, that’s right FREE.
NO DRM.
NO Resource hogging client.

Cool. I’ve always loved checking out GOG’s catalog of games, though I do not share your resentment towards Steam.

Is the offer still good? I’ve been looking to get into Fallout.

At the moment, I’m on my third run through Olympus Coliseum in Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded. This time, there are 30 layers of dungeon crawling goodness, and it has gotten quite difficult. Hopefully I’ll have enough licenses for the boss at the end, but it has gotten harder to go through the layers without relying on those defense and strength boosts. Triple damage is not fun to receive when you’ve been attacked from behind. At least compiling commands regenerates over time, but the cool-down time after each use takes too long sometimes.

That’s why I said the ‘majority’, as most use a Human Vanguard and spam biotic charge and nova, non stop. I’ve lost count of how many missions I’ve been on with Vanguards in the party, who ‘Lone Wolf’ and get stuck on the far side of the map, with no other team mate near them and die, because of that damn combo.

I’m going to try to get Infiltrator, Adept and Sentinel to 20, then promote my Engineer and Soldier and then just work on those last two classes, as I enjoy them the most (Maybe Infiltrator too… as I hate the Sniper Rifles this time around, so I use my Avenger X Assault Rifle and Predator VII Heavy Pistol combo). Vanguard? I honestly don’t know if I’ll ever level that class… more than likely I’ll just leave it to level up whenever I get a Vanguard XP card from a Veteran/Spectre/Premium Spectre Pack.

I try to say that I’m leaving after X amount of matches to the squad leader, though most of the time if we’re in the lobby and a person ups and leaves, that’s fine tbh. It’s when they leave DURING the match, on Wave 10 or so, when it bugs me.
Adept is garbage in the multiplayer and Sentinel only slightly less so. Tech abilities are about a million times more useful than biotic abilities in the multiplayer. Infiltrator and Engineer are the best.

Resurgence is free of charge. To unlock the new characters/weapons/consumables though, I imagine you unlock them via purchasing Veteran/Spectre/Preimum Spectre packs from the ingame store.

Adept is garbage in the multiplayer and Sentinel only slightly less so. Tech abilities are about a million times more useful than biotic abilities in the multiplayer. Infiltrator and Engineer are the best.

Yeah, I’m finding Adept to be particularly annoying… and only the Drell Adept is any good, only against Cerberus Guardians as they can ‘Pull’ their shield away. Apart from that…

Haven’t played Sentinel yet in any ME game, and I would’ve thought that with Tech Armor, that’d give them some extra survivability. I agree about Engineer though… Only Human and Quarian Engineer though, thanks to their having a Combat Drone and Sentry Turret… the Salarian Engineer only has Decoy, which may be helpful in some situations but not all. Infiltrator is pretty good as well… I have to learn how to use a sniper rifle effectively in MP though…

Gaming wise, apart from Mass Effect 3 MP, decided to give Shenmue on my Dreamcast another try. Really wished Sega continued/finished this series as it was damn good.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but I don’t play Multiplayer with any games. Part of it is me just not being interested in competitive multiplayer *at all*. Its not why I play games. Co-op is a different matter, and I would give that a shot, if I could ever be bothered to get myself all set up with microphones and other whatnot (I really don’t know anything about it, since it matters so little to me). My mates all happily play online, but its just not for me, I think. And since I’ve gone this long without it, that opinion’s not likely to change anytime soon.

Plus, its also not very practical for me anyway, because I can’t get on the internet whenever I want. Our only phone is in an awkward place, and we can’t leave it connected without wires being strung across the hall etc. I therefore have to take a couple of hours on the ‘net, whenever I see my opportunity. One day, I’ll sit down, get myself educated about all this stuff, get proper equipment, another phone and then we’ll be cooking. I wouldn’t advise anyone holding their breath for that day though ๐Ÿ˜€

So, sorry about that. And I mean that, because this is one of the very few occasions that I actually would like to play a game co-op. I really am enjoying playing ORC, and I’m forced to admit that I can’t really continue to keep saying it isn’t a good game. It must be doing something right, as I’m still playing it after 2-3 weeks! I’ve completed it with everyone (Four Eyes is my favourite), and I’m planning to download that free DLC later on today.

Oh, and I finished Silent Hill: Downpour too. Have to say I quite enjoyed it in the end. Bit short and all, but that’s nothing new these days. Combat was dodgy, wasn’t scary at all, but it still managed to be the best Silent Hill for years and years. Definately the best story since SH2, and some of the side quests are pretty good too. The voice acting was bit up and down, but I felt that the actors were really good when it mattered. They upped their game for the important moments.

It would be advisable to learn before you move out of your parent’s house, because the world now runs on the internet. Though it sounds like you’re running on either dial-up or DSL, and multiplayer gaming is next to impossible on dial-up as you’re going to have a hard time getting a good speed through a phoneline. DSL is a bit dodgy, but still doable. Just all depends on your location. Your best speeds will come from either cable/broadband or fiber optic. There’s also satellite internet through a dish, such as what DirecTV offers, but good luck getting a solid signal, especially if there is any sort of precipitation or heavy overcast.

With dial-up or DSL, you don’t need another phone, you need another phoneline, or an additional port in the wall with which you can use to hook up a modem or router.

Yeah, I heard that the friendly AI isn’t all that smart in the game. You’d have to play with friends to fully appreciate the entire experience.

I actually played quite a bit of Magic the Gathering yesterday. I made my friend a mono white deck and I dueled with my handicap decks so he could get accustomed to the cards.

Then we rented Dead Island, and played that for like fifteen minutes before I had to leave to pick my fiance up from work. Really didn’t get much of an impression of it yet, though as I only got past the initial introduction sequence. The cutscene at the startup was pretty cool.

I live in a shared house with friends, not with my parents, but thanks anyway! Like I say, I’m not going to bother anytime soon, and I know enough IT professionals that can set me up properly.

As for ORC, I’m used to the friendly AI being worthless in most games. They keep the enemies off my back, even if its only by being attacked themselves, and that’s fair enough by me. The main problem is that they don’t make best use of their skills. Honestly, I haven’t found it to be a problem. They give me about as much help as I expect from the friendly AI in any game (i.e not much, but anything at all is a pleasant surprise).

Yeah, I think with friendly AI, you have to expect it to be fairly useless. After all, the enemy AI is usually awful in most games, so expecting the allies AI to be intuitive and helpful is asking for a bit much! I think most single player games take this into account, and expect you to do pretty much all the work yourself, with your team mates there as glorified moral support and as people to follow you about taking bullets on your behalf.

And really, it would only be an issue if a game was incredibly hard and so challenging that it *required* your whole team to be on top form all the time. This obviously isn’t the case in most games, and so when you do see people teaming up for co-op, it usually always makes an easy game into an absolute walkover. A game’s AI can barely cope with one actual living mind set against it, let alone 3-4!

Halo was an interesting series for this. Halo 1’s allies were so worthless, that they frequently all died almost as they joined up with chief. Their weapons were awful (they pretty much all had the human assault rifle, which was pretty dire in the first game), they had very little health and seemed unable to grasp the need to run away from live grenades. Beyond manning the gun on the Warthog therefore, the Marines were pretty hopeless. And yet in Halo 2, they seemed to have been pumping iron furiously. Now they could take a hellacious beating before dying, their weapons were much better, and they could win most fights that didn’t include Hunters or guys with Plasma Swords by themselves if you left them to it long enough. It was a remarkable change, and actually made you feel a bit surplus to requirements most of the time!

So basically, if its a choice between the ally AI doing too much or too little, I’ll go for the latter. When I’m playing, I want to be the guy getting the kills, making the dash into the thick of the enemy, waging my little one man war against the unfeasibly large hordes of people ranged against me. If the ally AI is so good that they can just kill everything anyway, then I kind of think ‘Well, why even bother then?’

And on the subject of ORC, I was playing the DLC Spec Ops mission. Its not a great introduction to the Echo 6 team (the game plays its cards really close to its chest, refusing to actually tell you the player, what your team’s mission is! We’ll find out later I’m sure, and you can make a guess based on the main game, but still…) So it starts a bit slowly, but it picks up about halfway through, and its great from there to the end.

I think its just about done enough to convince me I want to buy the later DLC, but it’ll need to be good. This was dangerously close to being ‘Meh, I can live without this’, before it got better. But if the DLC that I do have to pay for is only half good… well, we’ll see.

I really don’t spend a whole lot of money on Magic. If I do, it’s because I really want a specific card. This month, I spent $30 for cards, simply because I did have a little extra money, and there were a few cards I needed that were in the Knights vs. Dragons duel decks box set. I also took chances on a few booster packs, and I usually never get those unless I’m fishing for something.

As far as Duels of the Plainswalkers is concerned; my fianc???e is an avid MTG player, and she loves the game. It actually a good way to clarify rulings on cards too, especially when it comes to the stacking of activated abilities and instants.

DodoRay:
Considering how happy you were to recruit the Geth, you don’t seem very cut up about betraying them in the most conclusively genocidal way possible, in your chosen ending! What happened to being a nice guy?! What about Joker? The guy serves you faithfully for years, asks for absolutely nothing during all that time, (even keeping quiet about his home being invaded by Reapers and not knowing if his father and sister are alive, because you have enough on your plate without worrying about him). The one request he makes of you at the end, is to keep EDI safe – and you chose *that* ending, and are satisfied with it?!

And you do realise that the unavoidable act of destruction on probably *the* most important piece of technology in existence (particularly given where everyone is at the end of the game), means the galaxy is completely and utterly shafted, right?

The ending was terrible IMO (and I’m far from alone in thinking that!) Not only is it a complete rip-off of ‘A Fire Upon the Deep’ (as in, its *exactly* the same), but it comes out of nowhere. I do happen to agree that the fans have over-reacted to a staggering degree, but I also think that the basic root of their protest is justified. Because just about everyone from fans, other games developers, critics etc etc thinks the ending was really poor – its just that some sections of fans outright despise it, and have done themselves no favours with their various antics.

Bioware don’t deserve the grief they’ve been getting, but neither do they deserve much praise either. Even aside from the endings, Mass Effect 3 (and 2 for that matter) wasn’t that great IMO. It was a decent game with a couple of good levels, but nothing special. The first game is still the best.


DoDoRay9000
04-14-2012, 03:47 AM
Well, I’m happy that I’ve destroyed the reapers, so I fail to see how it affects the Geth and EDI. The crucible destroyed the mass relays, but eventually, they may be rebuilt, but I’m not sure. And Joker, and the others survived as well, so, I don’t know what you’re talking about about betraying the Geth and not fulfilling Joker’s request.

Edit: Wait….Damn, my fault. NOW I remember. The catalyst said something about the Crucible "affecting synthetics", I think? I was half paying attention since I was feeling tired. I don’t know why that never crossed my mind. I guess I could’ve sacrificed myself, but I wasn’t sure. I’m sure as heck won’t be controlling the Reapers since they deserved to be destroyed. But I don’t know. I think I’ll replay from the point before the assault on the Cerberus headquarters that was automatically saved. About the Geth and Joker, I never wanted to betray the Geth, and I didn’t mean to break Joker’s request, I just didn’t pay attention to what the catalyst was saying. That, and because I was rather hellbent on destroying the Reapers, I must’ve forgotten about them.

A Fire Upon the Deep Never heard of that. I looked it up and it’s a sci-fi book. But I never read it, cause I was only a baby at the time and I haven’t seen it in the school libraries I’ve been to.

The ending is very lazy. The ending has its own plot holes and introduces some to the main story. It’s very poorly written and you can tell it was a rushed job. Anybody who is upset about the ending because of a lack of closure is fucking stupid but it seems those are the people Bioware are catering to with the revised ending anyway.

Still, I’m not sure why you’d be happy about any ending to the game. All of the endings are pretty grim. You may have destroyed the reapers but shit’s pretty much fucked for everybody anyway.

It completely eviscerates the galactic community, as people can no longer travel the vast distances that seperate the various systems (or rather they can, but even the most advanced races would need years to get anywhere, now that they cannot jump between systems).

Not only that, it traps a huge proportion of the community at Earth. Given that many of them can only eat very specific kinds of food, and are allegeric to human food, this places them in a dire state to say the least. The fact that the old way of doing things no longer applies, means that all the choices you made, all the conflicts you resolved, people you interacted with etc, is torpedoed. Because those choices all affected a status quo that now no longer exists.

Eveything basically has to start over from scratch.

Basically, the ending is fine, up to and including Anderson death (though he can live too). Everything after that is just awful, and unravels everything you have been working towards, replaced with 3 extremely grim options. And as Fights says, its written poorly and very rushed.

I mean, ‘Control’ is surprisingly the most ethical of all the choices! In the other 2 endings, you are making decisions that affect trillions of lives, without consulting them. You can volunteer EDI and every last one of the Geth to sacrifice themselves without even asking them, or you can change how all life works(!), again with no consultation of anyone (and the logic behind Synthesis is absurd anyway).

At least in ‘Control’ the only race you are affecting is the bad guys. But its just bizarre that the obviously Renegade option ends up being the only remotely ethical choice. And yet it all seems so far fetched that it would actually work, and I didn’t want to control anyone (my character being a firm opponent of any kind of indoctrination, slavery, brainwashing etc etc). So I ended up having to choose Synthesis, simply because I refused to betray the Geth after I had assured them that Organics were not their enemy, and EDI had professed a clear desire to live, so I couldn’t betray that either.

And Synthesis is a ridiculously nonsensical ending. So yeah, it just kind of sucked all round for me!

Yeah, I chose control too.

I wonder how the mass relays were destroyed in such a way that the didn’t release a massive amount of energy and destroy the systems they sit in.

Speaking of mass relays – why weren’t they shut down once the Reapers arrived? That would have stopped you and your army from fighting back and it was said in ME1 that this is what Reapers do when they start harvesting people. The Reapers were a joke in ME3, ugh.

Begin Rant

This response is to those who’ve recently spoken about Mass Effect 3 and my own opinion about the game and it’s developer in question.

I’ve given up on any hope for a conclusive ending to Mass Effect 3. The ending was a joke and one could tell it was just thrown together and written by a different team than the one who wrote the first part of the game. The Control and Synthesis endings, imo, still let the Reapers win… with the destroy ending being the only one which A: Destroys them completely at the cost of losing all synthetic entities (The Geth as well as EDI) and B: Was the only ending in which Shepard survives, IF your EMS was 5000+ that is.

There are a lot of ‘theories’ going around about the ending… some say Shepard finally succumbed to Reaper Indoctrination, others that it was all in Shepard’s mind and that they are still on Eden Prime with the later events of Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 all happening inside Shepard’s head. Even with BioWare ‘promising’ on delivering a Cinimatic Expanded Ending this Summer for Mass Effect 3, the majority of the idiot fans will STILL bitch about it.

While I have enjoyed the multiplayer… having it linked to the singleplayer campaign as one of the only ways to increase your Galactic Readiness rating (Other being to use certain iPad Apps and other ios devices), thereby ‘forcing’ people to play it when they might not of used in the first place… and knowing EA, they’ll probably shut down the servers for the multiplayer in a year or so, especially with all the games coming later this year with multiplayer aspects, I doubt many will return to ME3 multiplayer.

I like the first two games, and for the most part, most of the third… but the ending is garbage and to me, proves that Casey Hudson, Mac Walters and Ray Myzuka don’t give a rats ass about what people want… only that the want more $$$ from the fans. Canceling the third expansion, Exalted March for Dragon Age II to apparently ‘focus on Dragon Age III’ which include a rumored ‘multiplayer mode’ being developed on DICE’s Frostbite 2, the same game engine used for Battlefield 3. The multiplayer is supposedly an arena-based affair and features player versus environment elements as well as player versus player.

I admit, I was looking forward to Mass Effect 3 ever since Mass Effect 2 ended… Now, I feel a bit disappointed but there’s not much which can be done to alleviate it (other than Casey Hudson, Mac Walters and Ray Myzuka issuing a formal apology (not just for releasing a piss poor ending to a much anticipated series, but also by screwing over the characters and universe they created) and announcing their resignations) an with what’s being planned, supposedly, for Dragon Age III… Congratulations BioWare… while you may’ve made some new fans with making Mass Effect 3 appeal to a broader audience (Come on… choosing either Action, Story or RPG mode? It’s a fucking RPG! If people want a Action game get Gears of War etc… ), you’ve effectively ostracised yourself from the fans who made you in the first place.

End rant.

Best way to describe Crisis Missions: frustrating dick-move central that’s expects so much out of you. I wish I had the Guncon 2 :/

Worst mission ever was the one where it just removes the cover system entirely, which imo, just ruins it for me. It’s like Gears of War with no cover system whatsoever.

Finished The Witcher 2, and I have to ask what on earth people are going on about when they say this is a hard game?! I’m not some kind of gaming guru, and I own up when I find games hard, but this game really, really isn’t hard. I burned through it, did hardly any of the sidequests, never drank any potions, never used any bombs, traps, oils, enhancements (well, I used some sword and armour enhancements before the final battle, because I figured why not?), never crafted any items, made any potions etc etc. (I can never be bothered doing stuff like this, except if it becomes apparent that the game is too hard without doing it).

Which wasn’t the case here, as the game was ridiculously easy, all the way through. Just roll around the enemies, give them a few hard/light/hard combo hits, then roll away if they still aren’t dead and do it again. The bosses all had charge/heavy sweep attacks that were easy to roll around, and had huge followthroughs that left them wide open. And the few really huge enemies, all had instantly learnable attacks patterns. The game gives you 6 really powerful spells right at the start, and together with the fact that the old ‘roll about and hit from behind’ gag works on absolutely everyone, this game couldn’t really have been easier.

Other than that though, it was a decent game I guess. Not having played the first one (its not available on the 360), I couldn’t connect with the main characters, and didn’t really care at all about them, Not to the extent that I disliked them either, its just that curiosity over what was going on in the main plot was pretty much the only thing keeping me going at times. I did think that the Prologue was by far the best section of the game though. Act 1 was awful, Act 2 was okayish (and finally had a few characters I actually cared about), but the big battle it had been building up to, turned out to be a bit lame, and Act 3 was as rushed as any game’s final levels.

To be fair, it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I’m not convinced I’d want to play another one though.

If you don’t abuse the rolling, the game is challenging. Some people don’t realise the rolling in the game makes combat completely trivial, I guess.

Its poor game design when there is a basic feature that is so good, it amounts to cheating when you use it! I don’t play games like The Witcher 2 for their gameplay, so I have no intention of making things harder on myself than they need to be. I was just greatly surprised that after all the bellyaching I’d heard from gamers and critics alike about the difficulty of the game (because many critics scored it down because it was apparently so hard), that it turned out to be such a walkover.

Vrykolas

I guess critics are under a bit of pressure though, seeing as how they have to get through as many games as they can, as fast as they can, to be able to write about them. But that means if they encounter any difficulty at all, they tend to say the game is really hard. At least with something like Demon’s Souls, it was kind of justified, but even then neither it nor Dark Souls are anywhere near as hard as most critics make out.

The reaction to Witcher 2 is just bizarre though. Put the shielding spell up, pay even a modest amount of attention to what you are doing, and you’ll win every fight no problem. And besides, half the time, you’re accompanied by ally NPCs who can’t die!


chewey

I’m surprised the Souls games got as much attention as they did. Monster Hunter was pretty much ignored in the West because of its difficulty and intentionally obscure systems. Maybe that will change now with Nintendo getting involved with the series.

On the topic of European RPGs, Risen 2 is out soon. It’s out this week on PC and next month on consoles, I think. I didn’t mind the first, but I think I stopped playing at around the half way mark. Hopefully the sequel has combat that isn’t garbage.

Running around sometimes wastes energy,and forces you to restart over and over.The only thing i can think to do,is to make one save for exploring,and one for advancing.If you don’t know what to do,you waste a lot of time and energy,and that only increases the odds of running out of ammo and medicine and dying.Its often very hard to avoid getting hit in resident evil.My point is that resident evil games require a lot of thinking and strategy to avoid being mauled to death by zombies,and other monstruosities.

I downloaded and played Blacklight: Retribution quite a bit last night on the PC. It’s a F2P (Free to Play) FPS that is a sequel to a game that you had to pay for on XBLA and Steam known as Blacklight: Tango Down. The coolest part about this F2P model is that you don’t have pay for anything if you don’t want to as all the content in the game is available to the player by naturally progressing through the game. You can spend real money to buy the weapon modifications and skins early, however with the in-game currency setup similar to that of BlackOps, there’s no real need to.

It’s a well made F2P FPS that plays really well, and looks great. I definitely recommend this game, not only because it is a step above your normal F2P fair, but simply because there is no real need to pay for anything in this game.

I also downloaded the Super Smash Bros. Beta mod labeled Project M, and that was cool too.

04-23-2012, 05:04 AM
I downloaded the same game a couple days ago too. I would say it’s definitely a pay to win game, with plenty of (very powerful) stuff only being purchasable with real money. Fortunately, there aren’t a ton of people around with these overpowered weapons because they cost maybe $5+ to buy permanently which is stupidly expensive. I don’t think many people are keen to throw real money down on something they can only keep for a limited amount of time either.

The game doesn’t have any Australia servers, which is a bother. I play on the US – West servers and I get a latency of about 220-250ms which isn’t terrible but still sucks.

I would say gameplay wise it’s perfectly fine, but they’ve made everything in the game too expensive. I would say Tribes: Ascend is a much better free to play online FPS. Still, I’m having fun with the game for now.

Never trust ‘official’ reviews. They are never truly conclusive and more often than not, have the reviewer brown-nosing the developer in question. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if some companies paid some of the mainstream review sites to give favorable reviews for their games. Mass Effect 3 is one of those titles which has divided some of the gaming community into, what I call, four groups: Those who hate the ending, Those who like the ending, Those who care only for the first 90% of the game… then the group I fall, I no longer care at all.

Even with the proposed Extended Ending DLC coming sometime this Summer (In the U.S.), they still won’t appeal to every fan,and there will most assuredly be more complaints about it. I honestly can’t believe that I’ve been disappointed in two of the four big games to come out in the last seven months, the two in question being: Mass Effect 3 and Skyrim. The other two… well, Saints Row The Third had it’s faults, but is still a damn fun game to play and Assassin’s Creed Revolutions… still haven’t played it yet.

Anywayz… haven’t played much in the last few days, thanks to being hospitalised. Did manage to play a bit of Breath of Fire II GBA on my DS last night.

Installed VirtualBox last night in an attempt to get a retail copy of Fallout to work correctly on my Windows 7 64bit machine. Apparently, Win7 doesn’t like older games made for 32bit and under operating systems as it doesn’t display the colors correctly. So I’m attempting to run the game in a WinXP environment, but now the game no longer displays the menu, but plays the intro cinematic with correct colors. I can’t seem to win at this.

I’m hoping I can get this to work, as this will have to be the means I use to play older retail games that don’t have patches that fix these issues. Especially if I don’t go through gog.com or Steam for these older games.

I think you might want to get some anger management, because nobody should get that angry to do something as drastic as that. No game is worth breaking and burning over anything. I think that pretty much goes for everything else, for that matter(Well, except maybe, Action 52 and Big Rigs). You couldn’t get the last achievement, so what? Just take a break, come back to it later and you might be able to get it after failing 5 times. ๐Ÿ™‚

I’ll probably play some Aion.


Darth Revan

No, I’m done with that game… and more than likely done with anything BioWare decides to release. That achievement in question, has been bugging me ever since the Golems of Ammgarrak DLC came out a couple of years ago, and after trying to get it for so many times now (5 failed attempts today alone), I just can’t be bothered. That and I think my now dislike and borderline loathing of BioWare (especially with how they handled the BS Mass Effect 3 garbage) attributed to my anger being taken out on that disc.

Besides… To quote former shriner, Prak, I did take the ‘measured and appropriate response’ when my cousin loaned me his copy of Kingdom Hearts… snapped the disc in half right in front of his eyes. Even now, remembering that day… brings a smile to my face.

On the issue of reviews, there’s really no point in getting too worked up about it. The industry is extremely broken in that regard. Corrupt is not really the right word, because there’s very little anybody could do to make things different, and people like it this way anyway.

Basically, games developers don’t have to send review copies, give exclusive interviews, invitations to pre-showings of games, nor do they have to place adverts in mags and on websites. These are all things that any review site/mag needs. Because if you can’t get the inside scoop before everyone else, show stuff that nobody else has etc, then people will go elsewhere for their news. So they have to stay in the developer’s good graces, and that means giving their games favourable reviews. Therefore, AAA games always get max or near max scores.

And even though this is an extremely disingenuous way for the industry to work, seeing as how critics present themselves as people who will help you to make informed choices and give accurate reports on the games they play, in practice nobody really minds. People only want to hear good news about upcoming games,so even if a critic was to break formation, make a principled stand and say what they actually thought, then people invariably disbelieve it, and curse the person in question for saying such a thing (even though they themselves won’t have played it yet).

And if it turns out that the game is in fact awful or at least not as great as people were hoping, they just move on to the next hyped up game. They do not however accept that the critic who warned them was right, nor do they forgive him. Because increasingly, games are only of interest to the public in the week or so around launch. Its always been a factor of course, but its been getting worse for ages. Its just a neverending procession now – where critics lie that every new AAA game is the mecca of gaming we’ve been waiting for, we all buy it and talk about it for a week or so and then the cycle starts up again.

Everyone knows its bogus, but everyone is too busy caught up in the hysteria over the latest titles, thinking ‘Maybe this time its true’ and hoping for more classics, that are just a couple of weeks away.

Been playing it with a controller instead of the kinect because the controls started getting screwy on me for some reason. But I like the concept of taking cover, firing, and reloading using your body(almost like a lightgun game that doesn’t require a lightgun). It just needed some refinement.

Just finished a week of playing Halo 1-3. Started playing the Anniversary Edition of Halo 1 last weekend, which I bought ages ago and had been meaning to get round to. Finally did so, and was hooked all over again. Absolutely awsome game, and still the best of the series IMO. I love the hidden terminals in the new edition, and it gives me great hope that Halo 4 will be a return to form for the series. 343 really capture the spirit and the magic of the first game in those cutscenes, which Bungie never managed to do again in the sequels.

But still Halo 2 and 3 are still great games and I thoroughly enjoyed going through them again. November can’t come soon enough – I’m well and truly pumped up for Halo 4 now!

I’m glad Halo 4 won’t have Armor Lock. I’m so sick of people using it like wussess. I only use it when a grenade is near me, when a rocket is fired at me, and when I’m about to get run over. But you when you’re firing your weapon at them and their shield is gone, they’ll use armor lock. :/

Setting compatibility and color restrictions does not work. Also, changing the monitor resolution never works. Believe me, I’ve already attempted that on several other occasions (more specifically with House of the Dead). I ended up Bing’ng the solution and found the High Resolution patches on the No Mutants Allowed forums. I also applied the Recreation Project to Fallout 2. Whether that allowed me to adjust resolution settings or not, I don’t know.

Either way, the High Resolution patches allowed Fallout to work at my monitor’s resolution of 1600×900. Fallout 2 required the in-game resolution settings to be changed after the installation of the HD patch. I haven’t even tried Tactics yet, but I’m presuming the same will apply to that as well.

On another note, I beat Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded ~ DS the other day. Ended well, but even so, Castle Oblivion was a real drag, especially after defeating a massive boss. Definitely redeemed itself on the last leg of the journey. Spent 40+ hours in the game, and then some as I’m trying to beat the last system sector to receive 100% completion and the Secret Ending.

Seeing as how I’m not interested in any of the upcoming releases until the end of the year (Halo 4 and most likely Bioshock Infinite I guess), I’m at a bit of a loose end gaming wise. As far as I can see, my only options are to either take the plunge on either a Vita or 3DS (highly unlikely, given they are still underperforming and have nothing I really want to play), or go for something older.

So unless I see a huge price cut on either the Vita or 3DS, I’ve narrowed my choices down to Persona 4 on the PS2, Morrowind on the Xbox or Deus Ex 1 on the PS2. And yes, I know I said I was going to buy Morrowind before, but Skyrim put me off Elder Scrolls so utterly that I gave up on the idea. Time has passed though, my copy of Skyrim is safely lent out to a friend on a hopefully extended basis, and I might be ready to give Morrowind a go now. On the other hand, I really want to play a good cyberpunk game, because that’s probably my favourite setting for anything (except maybe Victorian Britain). Human Revolution didn’t do much for me, but people do say that Deus Ex 1 is a classic of all time.

Or I could go with Persona 4, but I’ve kind of been holding back on that, because we should be getting Persona 4: The Golden at some point on the Vita. Its pretty much the only game I’m interested in on the Vita and I was saving it up as my reason to get a Vita. I know its a bit much to buy a system for one game, but in my experience, so long as you can get over that intial hump of buying the console, you’ll find a few other games present themselves that you hadn’t spotted or realised you might want.

So… an awkward choice. I’m not a big fan of going back to buying games for old consoles, because I prefer to try and support the current gen of the time. But I’m out of options, as I really do not want any of the games coming out over the next 2 quarters or so.

Or I could just go into hibernation until the end of the year. Hmm…

@Jessie: I was able to get Fallout: Tactics to work without too many problems. I only applied the High Res patch and it played straight out.

I do have a question about Fallout 2, however; it doesn’t fill the screen when you install the high resolution patch like the first game does, is there a patch that fixes this?

Playing through Tomorrow Never Dies for PSone. Everyone says it’s so horrible, but I disagree. It’s not a great game by any means, but neither is it horrible. The skiing sections are probably the worst sequences in the game, but once I realized that the PS2 shuts off the analog sticks when you boot up a PSone title, I found that it controlled much better. Still, not the smoothest experience ever, but certainly not unplayable. I still encounter frame rate drops, texture pop-in and clipping, as well as heavy dark fog, and at times I get stuck on the environment. I have not experienced the issue where you get stuck in first person view while going down stairs, so I don’t know how that occurs.

Overall, it’s pretty average. And short. But I don’t have any complaints about that. I’m about done with it, so I expect to be finished with it by the end of the night.

I beat Tomorrow Never Dies for PSone. It ended alright. It comes down to being just an average third person shooter from that generation. Nothing special. The sound effects and music were cool. I loved how they made an assault rifle sound like a light machine gun. lol

I started Bit.Trip Core. Not quite as good as Beat. But still a pretty crazy game overall.

Is it just me or is the map in TES4 a COMPLETE step backwards from TES3?

I never did play a lot of TES4 when it first came out so now I’m kind of ‘getting’ all the hate the game gets.

I do love the leveling system, at least part of it.

I found the map to be fine on my experience. I guess because I’m able to know where I’m actually going and in Morrowind, while I do like the game, it’s the lack of direction that doesn’t do it for me.

I played some Blacklight: Retribution before I went into work last night, and discovered all my equipped weapon unlocks had expired. Apparently it’s a ploy to keep you playing, or to "encourage" you to pay for their services. Either way, it was rather disheartening, even though the game is still incredibly fun.

When you buy them it asks you for how long you’d like to have them. Buying them permanently is super expensive, which is what I said several pages back.

Syndicate (the new one, obviously). And to my amazement, its great. Glorious combat, neat powers, stone cold heartless corporate killers as heroes, and a story and gameplay that whilst short, do enough to both satisfy and not wear out their welcome.

… I hate you. I tried to import it from New Zealand (As due to Australia’s archaic censorship laws, it was banned from release here citing "explicit depictions of dismemberment, decapitation, exposed flesh and bone from injuries, and copious blood spray." Yet Skyrim had that and more…) but ran into red tape.

I’m hoping that Overstrike and Aliens Colonial Marines are released here and not banned…

I laugh in the face of censorship. In fact I force guys to shoot all their friends and then blow their brains out in front of me, or throw grenades indiscriminately into crowds of cowering innocent people to get at an enemy in cover. I do all this in front of the censors, and I care not what they say! That’s the kind of thing you can do in Syndicate, and trust me – it *never* gets old! Yeah its callous as hell, but what did they expect from Syndicate?! If you’re going to tell a story about mentally conditioned cyborg killers on a payroll, then you have to go all in, or its just going to feel fake and undermine the whole point of the story and setup. The game does a great job of letting you see how agents view the world, and how they don’t see what they do as a problem at all. Its thrilling at times, shocking at others. Its done really well at times, it truly is.

But hey, hold the front page, right? ‘Censors don’t even bother to try and understand artistic vision behind product, and offer knee jerk reaction’. ‘Video game violence corrupts, says Man Who Doesn’t Know What He’s Talking About’.

Big shock there… Yet another horror story from the Australian gaming scene – I’d say they’re getting into the spirit of Syndicate pretty well by restricting the flow of information to the people! I honestly don’t know how you cope, as I’d go absolutely bonkers if I had to put up with all that interference on prices and censorship. Makes me glad to live in Britain – we’re pretty good when it comes to this sort of thing. You should move here as a ‘Games Exile’!

Anyway, the game is a good solid piece of entertainment. I guess people will always wonder what could have been if Starbreeze had had more money to spend on it, and really given it the full Bioshock style epic treatment. But for what it is, I loved it. Its like Robocop at times, and I’ve always wanted a good modern Robocop game. This is about as close as I’m ever going to get, and the sheer brutality of the Syndicate vision is in keeping with that, and is extremely refreshing.

It was announced half way through last year. It was supposed to be in place by the end of 2011, but that didn’t happen. I’m not sure when they’re planning on doing it now.

I also remember reading that our R18+ rating would still be a little strict so it’s a bit useless.

’cause I didn’t look. That was my first play session, and I really just wanted to get in the game. I didn’t notice that you could set the length of time the unlocks were available to you. I did yesterday though, so I’m planning on trudging through to unlock those indefinitely.

lol, and they wanted to give Manhunt 2 an AO rating. The hypocrisy of the system is quite alarming, and it really shouldn’t be. Just because a particular publisher decides to develop a particularly gruesome game (though it ends up not being terribly gruesome even without the censorship), doesn’t mean they should be targeted because they came out with Grand Theft Auto (which wasn’t that bad to begin with), when games like Syndicate receive an M rating without so much as a second look (I’m in no way saying it should receive anything but an M on it). Though honestly with a ban hammer in place in the AU, it makes it even worse with the silly politics.

the academy, and the festival themes. repetitive as FUCKING HELL. (but like i said, the battle music is pretty badass, along with the intro).
im currently one dungeon after you (which lacked music), heading for the next city, lets see how that theme plays out.

the game is not bad, its actually a pretty solid game, even in todays standards (since it was sort of a launch game) it looks good, and the battle system is quite simple and fast.

Probably why I love the Saints Row series for it’s zaniness and madcap activities (In Saints Row 2 being able to throw people into jet turbines or into a helicopter’s blades… ). The Ballad of Gay Tony was fun and did give me some enjoyment… at least didn’t have my cousin calling every five minutes wanting to ‘Go see big fake american titties!!’…

I’m playing Silent Hill: Homecoming and I’m liking it much more then I would’ve thought. While it got mostly low score’s in reviews, in think it’s much better then what the reviews told me (but it seems I cannot depend on reviews from most of the big game/review sites nowadays).

I believe it really has the Silent Hill "feel". It has some great visuals, monsters, music and it definitely gives me that discomforted feeling when I get into the really dark "otherworld" area’s. Especially when I play it at night with headphones on.

There’s much more emphasis on the combat, which is ok, but isn’t something I would look for in a Silent Hill title.
I hate that there isn’t much ammo in the game, plus healing is also a problem at times. Ofcourse it does give it more of a challenge.

Decided that I might as well have a go at the ‘From Ashes’ DLC for Mass Effect 3. It was unremarkable in the extreme, but even with my concerns at how hokey and obvious it is to have a Prothean squadmate, I must say I quite like Javik. He’s the Mandalorian/Qunari etc ‘Warlike but Wise’ archetype of this game, and I love characters like that. The actual mission on Eden Prime was terrible though – really short and utterly boring (just lots and lots of basic Cerberus troops and that’s it).

Probably the biggest thing I took away from it though, is how totally duped I’d been by that blue skinned fraud, Liara! We get to the extra content of the final game in the series, and we discover that she doesn’t know the first thing about Prothean society or culture… What the hell?! So what gives her the right to go around calling herself a ‘Prothean Expert’?! No wonder we could never talk to her about the Protheans in any of the other games (always felt a bit odd, considering Shepard can talk to everyone else about their interests, but could never speak to one of the most important characters about her supposed specialist subject – now we know why lol!)

Seriously, it was okay I guess. An extra squadmate is one of the best features a DLC can give you, and mostly helps to offset the general mediocrity of the mission itself. It was like most DLC really – okayish, but not clear why you had to spend extra money for it.

Other than that, I’ve been on patrol through my games library, picking off Achievements and Trophies in their natural habitats. Bagged myself some Fable 3 gongs, a couple of Vanquish pelts and the horns of a great white Dead Space 2.

Tell me about it – I have to hold my hands up and say that I just wasn’t good enough to complete Mass Effect 2 on Insanity. I tried, but I think it will have to stay as the only achievement I don’t have for that game (well, other than any of ‘The Arrival’ ones). An ignoble admission, but I know when I’m beat.

Squeezed a few more trophies out of Mass Effect 3 though. That game is actually much more interesting, the less successful you are at uniting everyone peacefully (i.e if you actually have to make the tough choices, rather than just being able to Paragon/Renegade persuade your way to victory). Siding with the Salarians over the Genophage is a million times more interesting than curing the Krogan with Wrex and Eve in charge, like 97% of gamers seem to do. If Wreav is in charge, Eve is dead and you sabotage the cure, that produces the most interesting ending, and a real sense of guilt afterwards.

The Quarian/Geth conflict is also much better if you side with one or the other. Siding with the Geth is the most impactful and emotional (especially if Tali is still alive), but siding with the Quarians is pretty good too. The unity ending that everyone goes for is too neat and tidy, and utterly unrealistic.

I’ve managed to get ArmA2: Combined Operations. I’m glad I finally got a chance to buy it on Steam. I also hope to buy ArmA Gold and Operation: Flashpoint Game of the Year Edition from Amazon since I never played both of them in my life(I’ve seen the xbox version of Operation: Flashpoint in stores at the time, but it never peaked my interest back when it came out until now). I also managed to get The King’s Crusade Collection and King Arthur II 50% off(that way, it’s already done and out of the way, and I can get the first one later)during Paradox Interactive weekend, which is still going on now.

He also made accusations stating that those who disagreed with his statements were throwing insults at him (name-calling), when they were simply pointing out that their experiences with the game weren’t nearly as problematic.

Last night I played a different mode of play in Magic the Gathering. I played what is known as Plain Chase. Which throws in random elements outside of your standard game of Magic. You have this deck in the core of the field that holds Plane Chase cards. At the beginning of each upkeep, a six sided die is rolled giving an option to either Plain Chase by revealing the next card of the Plane Chase library, or utilize Chaos effects which are noted on the cards. Each Plane Chase card has a static ability as well as a Chaos ability, that changes certain elements of the game. Without going into specific details, it really just mixes up the gameplay of Magic, and it’s quite entertaining to see the outcome, especially when playing a multiplayer game.

I also finished Bit.Trip Core with my fiance. I was having problems with it, so I enlisted her help. Needless to say, we had some fun.

Dragon’s Dogma. I just got through one of the most jaw droppingly pointless and infuriating quests ever. Its the one where the woman who helps you right at the start goes missing, and you’re asked to go to the Witchwood and find her. This quest… just…arggh! I spent about 10 minutes or so trying to work out how to get up this cliff, before I realised you have to go through the pawn settlement and out the other side, then bend all the way back round. No big deal, but it perhaps should have tipped me off as to how irritating this quest would become.

Anyway, I find the right path up through the mountains, nearly get squished by a *huge* boulder that some bandits roll at me (seriously, that rock is freaking massive), then race up to teach them a lesson. Which I do, until one of the bandits who looks pretty much like all the others unless you look closely, absolutely tears me in half, laying my whole party out with single blows. A few reloads later, I finally lightning bolt the swine into submission. I then cleave through dozens more bandits and finally arrive at the witchwood. Where I have to do an escort mission… harumph!

But its not just an escort mission. Its one where you have to fight teleporting enemies that are only vulnerable to magic (but I’m a Mage, so thank god for that), in a maze that is coated in thick fog, and the map doesn’t work properly because of the witch’s magic etc. Not exactly hard (because the wisps are pretty rubbish really), but intensely frustrating trying to find my way around. I eventually stumble on the Witch’s house and with immense relief, head on up. Only to find out in short sequence that the witch knows absolutely jack all, and we have to leave – with nothing to show for it *at all!* I just couldn’t believe it (and the fact that the person I was escorting just runs off back to the village leaving me to struggle back was the icing on the cake).

Except that it wasn’t over at all. Because as I left the wood (which had respawed all its enemies again), I was then set upon by about 70 wolves as I left the area. Packs and packs and packs of them just kept coming every couple of steps, night had fallen so I couldn’t see shit, and then I still had to walk all the fucking way back to the starting village, just to complete the quest. The biggest waste of time quest I have ever played. What on earth was the point?!

So yeah, I’m kind of enjoying this game! If nothing else, it got an emotional reaction out of me. That ripped off feeling I got when I finally reached that witch’s house and got told ‘Sorry, can’t help – off you go then’ will stay with forever, I think. Plus I nearly had a heart attack when that Hydra boss showed up earlier. The bosses in that game have definately been using banned steroid enhancements – how do the people survive when things that huge are creeping about?!

Its not a perfect game by any means, but its got something, I can’t deny it.

Finally finished RE4 on Professional. Man, that was as torturous as RE5 on Professional. I think it’s the 4th time I’ve finished it? 5th? I don’t remember. I will say, one thing that’s better than RE5 is the setting. Dark, depressing, and pretty eerie at times. They’re both great games, though imo.

Playing Beat Hazard on my 360. It’s scanning for music right now. I’ve played the PC demo a looooong time ago and I thought it was a cool and unique. I can’t believe I didn’t bother buying it before. I’m curious how they programmed the game to pick up literally ANY music you have and use it.


Vrykolas
06-18-2012, 07:01 PM
I don’t know about that – both RE4 and RE5 have great opening locations (the Spanish Village and the middle east town). The opening scene of RE5 where you walk down that street as the locals glare hatefully at you is one of the most unnerving scenes that RE has produced in years. The atmosphere is so oppressive, and it builds to a great explosion later on when the town rises up in a mob against you. But like I say, both opening sections and locations are very strong. If RE4 had been like its opening all the way through (i.e a great mix of action and horror), then it would been a perfect game.

And you’ve completed them both on Professional? Very impressive, I must admit.


DoDoRay9000
06-18-2012, 08:06 PM
Thank you.

But the only reason I was able to finish RE5 on Professional mode by myself was because I was using the L Hawk and the semi automatic sniper rifle with infinite ammo and it still didn’t make things as easy as I expected at certain points. :p

I guess I’m just rusty at games with the hardest difficulties.

For the past 2 years, it feels like this series has just been killing time more than anything else, it’s been all about prophecies and shit and never getting around to doing anything quite yet. Hopefully, that’ll change this year. But anyway, Revelations was alright, first time ever they gave Desmond an ounce of personality (much needed), and Constantinople was beautifully realised. Ezio is pushing 60 and can climb building at least twice as fast as he could when he was 20 but whatever, it’s fun.

Ah, so what if you used some of the aids to do your Professional run, Dodo – that’s what they’re there for really. There’s not much point using such upgrades in Normal as you’ll just blitz through the game, but they give people a chance to do the harder modes if they put their mind to it. Its still hard, whichever way you slice it. I mean, I personally don’t often enjoy playing games on the ultra, ultra hard difficulty settings, because I’m too gung-ho in my playstyle (shotguns and close combat – that’s where its at!), and you usually have to go really slowly and carefully on such difficulty settings.

So you do whatever you can to make it fun for yourself, and to get the job done. So IMO, its fair enough to do it like you did. I remember when I was playing Halo on Legendary and after dying on this one section over and over again, I fluked it when the most dangerous enemies that were getting me (cloaked elites with plasma swords) accidentally got themselves caught on some scenery and left themselves open to all die to one grenade, It was a cheap way to progress, but I didn’t care – I’ll take it!

After many deaths, I finally managed to just about crawl past her, my party decimated and my pride as a gamer in tatters.

I have been playing this as of late:

It’s good fun. I’m getting a lot of MegaMan and Metroid vibes. MegaMan moreso than Metroid as the character mirrors more of the BlueBomber than Samus ever is. The level design is spot-on, and the difficulty is a perfect balance between challenge and fun. Not as crazy hard as people state, but maybe I’m not that far into it yet. The story is intriguing as well, as it’s more than just the basic tripe that shooters often have. It feels more like an RPG story rather than a story designed for a shooter. Good stuff. Some conversion issues aside, the remake overall holds up well to the original, though the "Classic" mode is absolutely useless giving you blurry sprites from the original game in place of the polygonal character models. No attempt was made here to scale the sprites over, and this is quite disappointing, because you can see the characters better this way, however the sprites just look plain ugly in comparison to the environments. In the regular "Story" mode, the camera is out way too far, but once you’ve grown accustomed to squinting at your character, it’s really not all that bad. I would have preferred if it had been scaled in a bit more, but it’ll have to suffice as there are no options to fix this.

Good shooty fun though. I recommend this game to anyone, whether it be this remake, or the original version, which is available for free btw.

I recently picked up the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection and have been replaying MGS2: Sons of Liberty. The changes aren’t noticeable to me so it’s a pretty big disappointment. Also, you have to wait a few seconds for each Codec message to appear once you get to the Codec screen, a problem that didn’t come with the original. What’s worse is that they changed the control scheme slightly: X is accept and O is cancel. For anyone who has played the original MGS2 and MGS3, where O is accept and X is cancel, that will certainly fuck with you. Why couldn’t they have kept it the same? Nay, why couldn’t they have had X be accept and O be cancel in the originals like every other PS2 game ever?

I really picked up the game mostly for MGS: Peace Walker as I don’t have a PSP but for some reason I just can’t get into it. The play style is too different, the plot is boring, the comic-book style cutscenes are unappealing, and the controls are unsatisfactory. If I skip playing this game, I feel like I’m not missing out on all that much. It’s the story of, what, how Big Boss got his funding for Outer Heaven? Whopdy-doo. Did that necessitate a story? Probably not, but even if it did, I’ll bet this game is so overly convoluted that I’ll live happily without knowing it.

Really? That’s surprising. I’ve known about it for quite sometime, even before hitting WiiWare and DSiWare. I never got around to playing it until now, even though I own it through the ‘+’ version released for Steam, which subsequently came with the Humble Indie Bundle.

But considering all that, it was a well known and highly lauded indie game. I’m really surprised you hadn’t caught wind of any of its multiple releases.

Also: the cover shows the unamed main protagonist wielding a sword. I have not encountered a single sword in this game. There is a gun that shoots bubbles however.

Still hammering away at Persona 4.

A small scare with the boss of the hilarious ‘Void Quest’ level, who had a really nasty area effect non element spell, but nothing my squad couldn’t handle.

But yeah, great game. I probably have to say that I like Persona 3 more (so far anyway), but its damn close and besides, Persona 3 is one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played, so…

I’m fine with all 3 of the FEAR games. I think the first one is the best by a country mile, but the other 2 are decent shooters. I agree that the 3rd game’s story wasn’t great to put it mildly (but then, it wasn’t even by the original developers anymore and apparently started life as a different game entirely until they decided to just slap the FEAR name on it). I really enjoyed the final level though, being chased by that monster and seeing all the creepy flashbacks. If the game has been more like that, then it would have been much better.

Not until I had greater access to the internet did I find out about Cave Story, and that was through a "Guess the Game via Screenshot" thread, and then OCremix (http://ocremix.org/album/5279/cave-story-remix-project) came out with a remix project for it. It actually didn’t gain a whole lot of visibility until it was announced that it was being released for WiiWare.

Fucking Finished Fucking Valkyrie Fucking Profile after 8 Fucking Long Years.

Got the "A" Ending, playing on Hard Difficulty.

Horrible Narrative this game. Seriously, if you thought that Final Fantasy XII had a horrible narrative Pacing. Play this shit.

There’s literally nothing happening for 8 chapters and then inmediately a lot of poorly explained information is thrown at your face without giving any time for processing.

I’m still headscratching trying to make sense to plenty of stuff.

On the good aspects of the storyline, is there’s some fair amount of Emotional Investment. And it definitely has a good Love Story. Unlike FF8 >D.

Finally succumbed and picked up FFXIII-2 – although I only paid $35 for it so it’s not like SE are getting a lot of money from me for it. :p

Actually, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be – the QTE sections are pretty stupid though and just broke up the flow of the narrative, the main antagonist is ridiculous, and the time travel concept seems convoluted and cliched. However the battle system is tweaked from the first one (at least now there’s none of that stupid ‘party leader death=game over’ crap this time), and Noel is quite interesting and likeable as a character. And of course, I just had to buy the White Mage costume DLC for Serah for it too, naturally. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Also Lightning looks downright badass in her valkyrie armour too. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Already I’m thinking this is so much better than the original FFXIII, which is a nice surprise. ๐Ÿ™‚

I beat Cave Story 3D for the 3DS. I really liked how the "normal" ending finished the story. I wouldn’t change it, though I’ve researched and found that there’s a "good" ending as well. I’m not going to replay the entire game again just to save Curly. At least not yet. I may play Cave Story+ at some point to get the best ending, but not now.

I also beat Bit.Trip Void ~ Wii in one sitting. I liked it a whole lot more than Core, but admittedly, it was a bit easier.

Now off to Minecraft.

Having gone through Persona 4 and then back through Persona 3 again, I’m finally ready to move onto something else. I’m tempted to go back and play Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga again, to keep my Atlus kick going. But the brutal difficulty means it would be a massive commitment, and I’m not sure I’ve got enough energy left in the tank for that. Probably need something a bit lighter and easier to build my reserves back up.

I’m thinking Lollipop Chainsaw, as that looks like good trashy fun. Other than that, the wait for new games worth playing goes on…

Got the "B" Ending of Valkyrie Profile last night and watched on youtube the "C" Ending.

Well, The B ending was one of the worst Pile of Shit I’ve ever saw, worse than KOTOR II Rushed/Unfinished ending. You have to be fucking genious to come up with something worst than that.

Really it was a few steps away from this Congratulations! – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDajqW561KM)

Basically the "B" ending is you win the war, then they (Odin & Freya) put you to sleep. THE END. After that some cryptic phrases appear on screen implying that there’s more to life or to this game or whatever.

The "C" Ending on the Other Hand while it is a BIG FUCKING GAME OVER SCREEN, it has more insight and it’s more related and more informative on what the actual hell was going on with your main character.

Enough of Ranting about that one. I payed that debt.

Now on the way to make ammends of an old debt to pay… Xenogears

Well, this thread is about what you are gaming, not necessarily playing, as in music or anything else, but ok.

I’m playing this for the first time:

I’ve had Global Assault for the longest time, as it was the first N64 game I ever touched, but I’ve never played the original. It has quite a difficulty curve however as it spikes about a quarter of the way through the game. On normal difficulty settings. This game just doesn’t give away victory in its very formulaic mission structure. It pretty much weaves an ok plot within basic missions designed for a multiplayer match. Otherwise, it’s simply quite fun blowing things up in tanks. Global Assault just does it much better, however.

Multiplayer is also fun, mirroring what is provided in the single player campaign, however it lacks the improvements that Global Assault made. For obvious reasons. Though it is pretty much the same game, which means that Global Assault really didn’t make that many improvements to the core formula in the first place. Did I mention it was fun to blow stuff up in tanks? More games need to have tanks. So you can blow stuff up with them.

Also M-1 Abrams Battle Tank for the Genesis comes highly recommended…

The Walking Dead. Episodes 1-2. I love adventure games – they were practically all I used to play when I was growing up. They pretty much died off in the mid 90’s, and most recent ones are fairly awful. That combined with a general lack of interest in zombies put me off buying this until now.

But amazingly, its fantastic. The zombies are still the least interesting aspect, and there are a few ultra cheesy lines of dialogue. But mostly, its well written and engaging as hell. My best find in ages, can’t wait for the next episode.

Went back to the PSP remake of Persona 1 that I bought a while ago. Applied myself properly this time, committed myself to grinding my levels up, fusing demons properly and sensibly etc, and finally got to what appeared to be the end. Except that because of 1 wrong decision I made in an earlier conversation (out of 5-6 such conversations, which I gave the correct answers for in all the others), I had unknowingly been locked into receiving the Bad Ending. So my triumphant ‘I win, I win!’ quickly turned into a ‘Oh hang on a minute… I fail, I epically fail…’ All that work for nothing… Arggh!

So of course, sucker for punishment that I am, I’m now going through it again to get the proper ending. It’ll be worth it just to hear the music for the Tesso boss fight again. I was laughing and dancing along to it so much, I could hardly fight. Tough game then, but its pretty good, and interesting to see how the series started out.

Mass Effect 3

Edit: Just tried Platinum. Fuck Platinum. It makes Silver and Gold look like a cakewalk.

I got to wave 10 Platinum on Firebase Vancouver last night… Wave 10 was the new Escort mission (guard the drone to it’s upload point)… it all went to Hell, with Banshees, Phantoms and Brutes slamming into us. My Quarian Male Infiltrator (w/ Mattock X (AR Piercing mod V and Magazine upgrade V) and Geth Plasma SMG X (SMG heat sink V and SMG High Velocity Barrel III)) was the last to fall (Tactical Scan (Specced for increased weapon damage on target and decrease target movement speed) and the Arc Grenades (Specced for damage and radius) were a godsend)… and only within a few feet of the upload point! /cry

On topic: Was given 3000 MS points and (as it wasn’t my money used to buy them) bought the last three DLC for Saints Row The Third and started a new game. Not as good as Saints Row 2, but still a good game in it’s own right.

Control is the best Mass Effect 3 ending IMO. Not only is it the most ethical (bizarrely), but the voiceover is the best too (Mark Meer is particularly good – one of the occasions when he does a better job than Jennifer Hale, but then Meer always sells the big speeches and monologues better IMO).

Well, I finished Dragon’s Dogma – sort of. I killed the titular Dragon, I listened to his Dogma (before he died obviously), and then I got some short credits rolling… and then the game continued?! Its bizarre, as the story still seems to be going on, but the sheer spike in difficulty (its gotten absolutely *crazy* hard), means this is definitely post game content. If there was a cut-off point at least, that would be something (i.e an ending which might not be the True End, but which is good enough for you to leave it at that, if you don’t want to do the extra content).

But this isn’t like that – the story is clearly ongoing, but progress is now 100 times more difficult. Annoying to say the least – I don’t want to leave it unfinished, but the game is now far more work than its worth, to be bothered continuing with. Do Capcom not playtest their games *at all* these days?!

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin on the xbox(My first Hitman game)

I remember when I was younger, I would just cheat and do it guns blazing. Right now, I’ve been doing it the way I feel is better(try and be stealthy as possible.) So far, I got the Professional grade on 3 missions and neutral on one(the one where I had to rescue a VIP in Russia). Tracking Hayamoto is the most annoying mission, so far. After I finish this one, I’m going to play Hitman: Contracts since I cheated in that game, too(didn’t finish, however).

Sonic CD was a blast to play, though not as great as Sonic 2.

I beat BattleTanx for the N64. Good game, though the mission objectives got real repetitive towards the end. Different level, same objective as the last one. What the heck is that? Still, there are tanks, that blow things up. Multiplayer is more fun when you’ve got four people playing (as made evidenced by my previous post regarding BattleTanx).

So I moved on to replaying the sequel, Global Assault for the N64 as well (there was a far inferior version on the PSone). There are definitely huge improvements over difficulty balancing, sound, and graphics. More weapons, and more tanks are always a good thing. I had always felt that it was a good game, simply because its multiplayer modes were top notch for the time. It has aged decently, but I never really played the single player campaign all that much, especially without resorting to cheats. So really, this is a new experience where I know the outcome, but not exactly how well I’ll perform.

hybrid heaven and body harvest

Body Harvest. Now that was a great game. Before they tried attacking Grand Theft Auto, there was Space Station: Silicon Valley and Body Harvest. You really can see where a lot of the original concepts came from in both of these games that were taken over to the GTA series. Ah, good times.

I beat Battletanx: Global Assault – N64, and now I’ve moved onto:

for the Wii. Excellent game. Adds quite a bit more depth to the core concept of the Bit.Trip series.

Spec Ops: The Line.

Its… hmm. I’m only a few hours in, but I’m having trouble sticking with it – in terms of action, its like the most average game I’ve ever played. I realise that the story is supposed to be the main draw, but the 3 ‘heroes’ are really annoying, and the decisions your guy makes are utterly stupid. I know the game couldn’t continue without them, but he really does come across as the most idiotic commanding officer ever. One lethal misunderstanding after another pile up and up, when even the smallest amount of common sense would tell you to just pull out and inform command, rather than plough on and hope things will somehow magically sort themselves out. It makes the moral choices hard to care about, because I keep thinking ‘But… no man with half a brain would have let it get to this point – this whole thing shouldn’t be going down like this.’

Its obviously still a more substantial story than most army shooters get (inevitable, seeing as how its copying Heart of Darkness, which is one of the few books that even people who don’t like reading books can enjoy). So… ah, I don’t know; it doesn’t seem like a *bad* game, so much as a ‘really not that good, but it has its moments’ kind of game.

Finished Amnesia. Great game. It’s a shame that I didn’t get freaked out as much as I wanted it to(maybe I was a little desensitized by watching PewDiePie play Amnesia custom stories :p). The sewers part scared me because of the Brute, however. Either way, it was great. I’ll try out Justine later.

About avoiding the monsters, I don’t know if it’s just me or not, but I found the monsters easy to avoid. I think it’s the growls they make that make me not come out of the shadows until they’re gone. That doesn’t mean I didn’t die by them lol. I died about 4 times.

1 from having my back against the wall and somehow going through the wall when Flappyface was attacking me, thus, falling to my death.

3 by the monsters killing me at certain points.

Going to play PAYDAY: The Heist since it was on sale for $4.99. Also took the liberty of getting the Wolfpack dlc.

It is truly amazing. Really has taken me by surprise, one of the best games I’ve ever played.

Fighting Avion atm (Colossus #5 I think). Have no idea what’s going on story wise, except I’m fighting these things to bring back my dead lover.

SOTC is very slightly related to ICO. Even though ICO came 1st, it’s chronologically 2nd. It’s a trilogy told in reverse.

But don’t worry, it won’t effect your enjoyment or understanding of the SOTC plot if you didn’t play ICO. The relationship isn’t like that.

I can’t explain without going into spoiler territory.

Fumito Ueda’s new game (if it ever sees the light of day) will be the final part of the trilogy, and the first part of the ‘story’. It’s called The Last Guardian.

Give ICO a try someday. It’s a very different kind of game but an equally beautiful experience. :awsm:

Soul Calibur 5.

This game… If I *ever* find out whose idea it was to make the single player focus almost exclusively on those new ‘characters’ Patrokylos and Pyhrra (who together manage to fulfill every bad stereotype of JRPG heroes), then I won’t be held responsible for my actions. As if it wasn’t bad enough (and it is), they also cut out several of the best characters from the previous games!

The days when this franchise mattered seem like a lifetime ago. Soul Calibur and Soul Calibur 2 are such awesome games. This however… isn’t.


DoDoRay9000

I’m leaning a bit towards a 7 or an 8 for Soul Calibur 5, mainly because the gameplay is very fun as well as the online play. I found the story to be interesting, but a little short and the customization has added new things while cutting a few things out(in terms of items). I do agree they should’ve kept some of the characters, but I personally don’t mind. I was a little disappointed that Arcade mode doesn’t give you character endings, but again, it’s still fun to playthrough.

I’d like to see a sequel, or spinoff that can improve what Soul Calibur 5’s got while adding new things and maybe bring some things back, as well as the characters that were cut out.

7 or 8?! Man, you’re *way* more lenient on that game than me! But then, have you played the early ones? If not, I recommend them, as they have so much more content than this bare bones game.

I couldn’t get into the story at all – it was far too short, Patrokylos and Phyrra were annoying characters, and there were only 2 stages where you got to play as someone else. And one of those stages is the battle against Nightmare, where you’re frantically trying to learn the moves of a character you’ve only played once before, as you’re being soundly thrashed by Nightmare’s Soul Edge! Plus one of the early stages is Patrokylos getting randomly attacked by Astaroth in a forest, who he easily beats?! Was Astaroth feeling unwell that day?!

With all the cool weapon styles available (Nun-chucks, Bo stick, whip sword, Ring Blade, Greatsword, Battleaxe etc etc), it sucks that we’re stuck playing as the extremely basic Sword (for Patrokylos) and Sword + Shield (for Phyrra). I don’t mind using those weapons, but all the time?! The variety of weapons and styles is a huge part of the game, so only giving any story to the wielder of 2 of the least exotic styles is disappointing. Plus, I just miss all the extra stuff – descriptions and histories of the characters, the stages, the whole Weaponmaster mode where you travel the world, engaging in various trials and exploring dungeons to find new weapons, and unlock new characters etc etc.

I agree that the fighting is still fun, but it feels like 9 tenths of this game is missing. I’d give it a 5 out of 10 myself. Its still Soul Calibur, but the content just isn’t there. For a game that was always famous for its wealth of unlockable art, locations, characters, weapons, modes etc, this just isn’t good enough. It isn’t enough period.

I am pretty much more lenient since I just try to look past whatever flaws are there and not let them bother me. I’m yet to find a game in this generation that I won’t be lenient on lol. ๐Ÿ˜›

I’ve played Soul Calibur(9/10) and Soul Calibur 2(9/10. Haven’t completely finished it). I never played Soul Blade, and Soul Calibur 3, but I plan on getting them. I also plan on getting Soul Calibur Legends and hopefully Broken Destiny.

I’ve read it was because of time constraints, which is why I can see why some people say it feels incomplete.

Mass Effect 3. Honestly, I was expecting some kind of ungodly piece of shit after what everyone has been saying these past few months, but actually it’s not bad at all, so far. I’m bracing myself for a horrible ending of course, but I’m enjoying the ride.

Vrykolas
08-14-2012, 01:43 PM
I’m not sure anyone thinks Mass Effect 3 is a terrible game exactly – its just a disappointing one. Many people got hung up on the ending, but for me the biggest let down was the Reapers and how ‘meh’ they were after all the build up. Both in a gameplay and story sense, they don’t capture the imagination at all IMO, especially considering that Sovereign was a reasonably interesting foe. The invasion feels oddly routine, like its really not that big a deal. Like the Darkspawn horde from DAO, they spend most of the game off screen, only appearing at the beginning and end, with you fighting the odd isolated group here and there. Doesn’t feel like a war is on at all, most of time. In fact, you spend much more time fighting Cerberus (over 50% of the time in fact), and their forces are much more interesting to fight against anyway. Encounters with Reaper forces lean far too heavily on their exotic troops to be of any interest – if there aren’t any Banshees, Brutes or Harvesters, the biggest threat you’ll face against Reaper forces is falling asleep.

Plus I think I’m about done with Bioware and their formula now. The game plays out very similarly to DAO (Attacked by horde, leave to recruit allies, uncover treachery in the home ranks, gather allies and fight 1 short battle to beat the whole invasion). As I mentioned before, the Reapers simply don’t live up to their billing – the ease with which they are beaten, considering the huge advantage they have is just embarassing. The galaxy was completely fragmented and disunited, and is already under attack when the game starts. Yet you still have time to get everyone together, with enough ships left to put up any kind of fight, build a ‘kills all the Bad Guys’ super weapon from scratch, (right under the noses of an enemy who has sleeper agents everywhere)?! The Reapers make so many tactical blunders that its almost unfair to beat them in the end (hitting the Citadel first, redeploying all their forces to destroy the Crucible before it is finished, or simply turning off/destroying the Mass Relays for example, would have won them the fight immediately).

The game felt strangely flat to me. There was no atmosphere, I didn’t feel like this was ‘The End of Days’ or anything like that. The battlezones were uninspired and there was no urgency to anything. I kept waiting for the game to give a reason to truly care about what was happening with the invasion, but its was far too busy showing me what Cerberus was up to, to bother about trivial details like the Reapers. I still played through it, and even with Cerberus hogging more screen time than they should have, the game at least has more relevance to the main ME story than ME2 ever did. But for a story which had so much promise in ME1, I really wish I’d stopped playing after that first game. The sequels have been extremely disappointing, and as a poster recently put it on the Bioware forums:

‘I just thought it would be… GRANDER than this’.


Smarty
08-14-2012, 03:35 PM
I definitely get what you’re saying. There are some points here and there where it feels like there’s a galaxy threatening war going on, but they are few and far between. On the other hand, I don’t think it could have been any other way. It’s a linear shooter, just like ME2, with no space exploration to speak of. I mean, it would be pretty impressive if they actually did manage to make it feel like there’s a huge war going on, don’t you think?

I’ll decide how I truly feel about it after I finish it, but so far I must say I’m not disappointed at all. It’s exactly what I was expecting it to be. Not what I wanted it to be, but everything I expected it to be. Most of my disappointment came after I played ME2.


Vrykolas
08-14-2012, 07:16 PM
If it was the first time they’d done this, then I’d agree. But after KOTOR and Dragon Age: Origins, I was hoping they’d come up with some better solution on how to make the galaxy wide threat feel more pronounced. Both KOTOR and DAO are great games, but the Sith and Darkspawn all but vanish in terms of their wider invasion outside of the start and end of the games. Meanwhile, you’re traipsing up and down, doing little side quests and basically just buggering about, having a good time exploring, saving up to buy fancy weapons and dating people etc.

The issue for me is that to feel like something big is actually happening, you need recognisable places to be destroyed, invaded etc. You need real hard hitting scenes of carnage and destruction. And the emphasis here is on seeing it, not just hearing about it. Dragon Age Origins for example, should have shown us the fall of Lothering in the first game and pulled no punches in depicting it, (particularly if you left characters like Sten to die there). In ME3, the Citadel should have fallen at the start of the game. I think it was a huge mistake to leave the Citadel intact, as its the one place that we have real history with. We’d care if it was destroyed, so it should have been. That should have been the first place the Reapers hit, and the Allied races should have destroyed it themselves, rather than let the Reapers have it, when it became obvious they were going to lose the battle. Shepard could have made that call, then get the leadership out of there. They could then move their main headquarters to Omega and show they were wiling to get down and dirty to win this war. Stuff like that would have made it feel like there a proper war going on.

So yeah, I knew it wasn’t going to be the game I wanted it to be, because ME2 had put paid to any chance of that. But quietly I had hoped, you know? I really wanted them to come good with this final installment, recapture some of that magic that made me love ME1. So when it was just ‘reasonably good in its own way’, it was a bit deflating.

It’s the week leading up to my wedding, so my older brother has been bumping at my place. Because he likes to hijack the TV, I have been unable to continue my adventures with CommanderVideo in Runner. The last few levels are quite difficult anyways. I’ve been playing quite a bit of Minecraft. I have been digging up sand and sandstone to make smooth sandstone for the walls inside my skyscraper. I’ve also successfully constructed a working chicken coop that farms eggs and if I get annoyed with the chickens, I can throw a switch which will send them into the furnace. Fun times. It’s the first time I’ve ever successfully implented any kind of red stone wiring, so I’m quite proud of myself.

I’ve also played a little bit of TrackMania Nations and Counter Strike Source.

Clive Barker’s Jericho.

Completed this game about 70 times, but I always come back for more. Its not a fantastically well made game by any means, but I just love the ideas in this game. Playing as a character who dies on the first level, but exists as a entity that can bodyjump into and take control of his team mates, who all have their own unique magical powers and weapons. Awesome levels, ranging from Nazi Germany, Ancient Rome and the time of the Crusades. And seeing as how its Clive Barker, there’s more gore and body horror than you can shake a disturbingly shaped stick covered in viscera at. The fact that I like the characters and the story is just the icing on the cake.

The game’s rough production values are unfortunate, but it doesn’t diminish the fact that I love the mix of magic, horror, religion and adventure it offers. Really wish Barker would get involved with more games. Compared to many collaborations from other industries, his have been amongst the most successful IMO. He doesn’t need to code the game, just provide the ideas and the dialogue.

Agreed, Top. Undying was pretty good (I remember it won Gamespot’s ‘Best Game that Nobody Bought’ award). Okay, so its no classic of all time, but its still far better than most forays into games by authors, directors etc. Barker admits he doesn’t know much about video games, so he’s reliant on the developers to actually make the thing, but his imput on story, dialogue and sense of darkly magical style for the games are invaluable. Because he has a great imagination and knows what he’s doing. Most people only know him for the gore, but without genuine imagination and skill, he wouldn’t have made it so big.

At the recent E3, I saw a round of interviews where a statement along the lines of ‘…We’re trying our best to get the best technical staff we can – not so much writers, as anyone on the team can do that…’ came up during a round table discussion. This kind of idiotic thinking is *exactly* why most games have such awful stories and dialogue. Because developers think they can hand the writing duties over to whoever has the time to do it, regardless of their actual skill or imagination. Its common sense surely, that you should give jobs to people who are equipped to do them, not just fob them off on any old Tom, Dick or Harry on your team, just to save a bit of money.

Yeah I know what you mean, but this things tend to happen though because finding a quality writer is kinda roulette.

Doom 3 had a real writer and the storyline was shit. The Mass Effect Series had a real writter too I think and Chris Avelone and the buds at Obsidian can write stories that are 1000000000000 better than any Bioware or Bethesda writer. And they’re not even proffessional writers.

Same as Yasumi Matsuno when he was still at Square Enix before he departed at mid development of FFXII.

Vrykolas
08-24-2012, 05:22 AM
I would argue that Chris Avellone etc do qualify as writers though, because they have been doing so for over a decade now. A good writer is simply someone who is good at writing, not necessarily someone who is an ultra successful, much published author etc. As to being a roulette, it should be obvious very quickly if someone is up to the task or not, and I would suggest that the vast majority of those roped in to do the writing in video games fall into the latter category. You would hope that developers ask for a little more evidence of a writer’s quality, than their solemn promise that they are good writers, after all!

(I must also say that I think you’re being a little harsh on Bioware there. I too consider Obsidian to be much better writers, but that doesn’t mean I consider Bioware to be poor writers. They’re a little too genre friendly for my liking, and employ far too much fanservice and Deus Ex Machina etc, not to mention they buy into their own hype too much these days. But they’re still better than most out there, and perhaps with a bit of a lay-off period to recharge their batteries, they can come back strong next gen.

As for Doom 3… well, I didn’t mind some parts of it. The intro section was certainly very different from what I was expecting, and the tension built quite nicely, as you knew eventually that the forces of hell would break loose. And when it finally happened, it was an effective sequence. I also thought that some of the sections with Sarge were pretty good. The revelation of what he really was, was pretty cool IMO. But yeah, it wasn’t great because it took far too long to get to the hell levels, they were very uninspiring when you eventually got there, and then you were only there for about 5 minutes anyway. To be honest, giving Doom a proper story always seemed a little odd to me – Doom never really had a story before that, and it did just fine without one.

Its only story was a sort of jokey ‘You are a very hard man – and you’ve decided to kill all demons everywhere, because they made you angry’. It took away from the essentially silly ‘annihilate em up’ fun that made Doom what it was. It was like that awful film ‘Jet Li’s The One’ – if the whole film had been as simple and hilarious as that final scene where Li declares to a crowd of extremely large and hostile fellows: ‘I am Yu Law, I am nobody’s bitch – you are all my bitches’ followed by an enormous fight, then that film would have been much better. Same with Doom – weapons and fighting first, story later (if ever).

Meh, from my experience I’m not embarassed on saying that they’re 3rd to 4th class writers. KOTOR 1 was a Cliche Storm all over, to the point that it got offensive with the "reveal" (AND THANK GOD THAT OBSIDIAN LITERALLY FIXED ALL THAT ON KOTOR 2), Jade Empire was hideous, the first segments of ME1 are not that enthralling. Dragon Age I really don’t know, I guess The Witcher was more appealing to me. ME2 was kind of interesting for some parts and specific characters, Miranda.
ME3 got dat ending. Which I still stand in the position of saying that it’s stupid on how it got the rage for the "Betrayal of 2012".

I mean, they’re not bad. But I think they’re a little bit if not too much overrated.

I know, but it’s ID Software’s attempt to catch up with the times. Their head developer was the one who came up with the popular phrase "Story in Videogames is like storyline in Porn".
And they do know what they are doing, that’s why they left the storyline parts to an actual writer. And as you said, I was really hyped up with the slow start that the game got, it looked that it was going to be a Survival game with some Doom stuff but with some depth added into the flavor. I guess I expected too much.

But either way. I think we understand why quality writers are not involved that much in the industry.

We need more open minded and imaginative guys like Clive Barker.

Anyway, with regard to Bioware, I think they’re mostly fine, except their silly portrayal of bad guys. All the Sith characters in KOTOR 1 (main characters and NPCs) are written extremely badly, constantly sneering and exulting in their ‘exquisite’ evilness. Its cringeworthy, and indicative of how bad Bioware always are at writing genuinely evil characters. Malak and Bandon in particular are just awful – Malak even has a scene where he holds his chest as he quakes with evil bad guy cackling! Same in Jade Empire (although that was, I agree, just terrible in general – far too much humour at the expense of pretty much everything else, a potentially interesting world completely wasted, dull party members, yet more baddies who find evil to be ‘exquisite’ etc.) I guess the only thing I would say is that the game was written by the founders of the company, who rarely write games these days (and thank God for that!) But anyway, enough about them. Barker beats Bioware anyday!

Remembering Doom 3 has me all depressed – I was a huge Doom fan back in the day. Doom 2 is still one of my favourite FPS games. The problem with Doom 3 for me, wasn’t the story – it was the fact that it was… well… crap! In Doom games, you expect to stroll around, laden down with weapons, into big open courtyards (or rooms where the walls suddenly fall away) and engage in huge battles with hordes and hordes of all manner of different demons at once. Doom 3 had you creeping along in the dark, occasionally being ambushed by about 3-4 people at most. It was pretty much all at close quarters, so the shotgun was king over all other weapons, and everything from the baddies and weapons and locations felt dialled right down.

I’m not saying the story was great, but the gameplay was the real problem for me. Just as I didn’t approve of Resident Evil becoming a pure Action game series, I didn’t want Doom to become a Survival Horror (which is what Doom 3 is for much of its run, with scarce ammo, dark and cramped environs, ambushing enemies, story over action etc). I love Survival Horror, but I play Doom for action! How is a man supposed to sate his lust for blood with only a handful of enemies at a time? When he’s cooped up in small corridors and can’t fire his rocket launcher with wild abandon? Is he to be denied these simple things?!

My abiding memory of that game was going through that hell portal and having all my damn weapons and ammo taken off me! That pissed me off mightily, but not nearly as much as going back through the portal a short while later, and having it happen again! Plus the way you use your flashlight in that game was utterly stupid – can’t fix it to the gun, or your shoulder or anything, and it was back when developers didn’t see how odd it was to have your torch batteries run out in seconds, only to be instantly recharged when you turned it off.

they adress this in one of the commentaries in the LE of doom 3. one of them said "you have this guy with a gun who kills demons on mars, thats pretty much the story on doom. we cant release a game like that right now" or something along the lines.

i too disliked the fact hell had so few levels, and the final boss is a fucking joke, just like in RTC wolfenstein.

I know, many people didn’t approved what has happened to Doom 3. But still I think with proper writing it would’ve pulled it off properly.

I didn’t mind that it becomed a survival game. I too was a fan of Classic Doom and go in MAN MODE and brawl with super satanic Cyberdemons & Barons of Hell. I missed the satanic aesthetic and the visual impact and colourful looks. But to me the Game Engine made it up for all that. Yeah the redesigns of the enemies look like Quake 2 all over again. But it was very impacting to me looking at such nice graphics with little Hardware power. ID Software are Technical geniuses.

And I still play Doom, actually I went to investigate the Community of DoomWorld. Very Very Suprised on how active has been all over the years. I stumbled upon a MegaWAD that is really nice, called Scythe 2. I’m at map 25 currently and it’s really hardcore.

Anyway.

I’m expecting Doom 4 though. Supposedly is going to be more like Doom 2.

I remember ‘The Journey through Hell’ WAD for Doom 2. It was pretty fun, as the guy had gone crazy for Cyberdemons, and it was outrageously hard. Good times… And yes, I would be absolutely up for Doom 4 getting back to the series’ roots. Not every game needs a big story – Doom was unashamedly about violence for the love of it. Part of the whole appeal was how they took no notice whatsoever of any pressure over too much violence, religious imagery, and weren’t afraid to say ‘Look, we *are* glorifying violence, because shooting guys with big weapons, chopping them up with chainsaws is fun – and ITS JUST A GAME!’ We’ve all played these games, and unless the media has been hushing it all up, we didn’t all run out and start chainsawing and shotgunning people. Video games are a good, cathartic way to work out aggression – they don’t cause aggression.

One thing about Doom 3 though – ‘little hardware power’? I remember that game needing a fairly beefy PC at the time. Mine certainly wasn’t good enough, and that was back when I actually kept on top of stuff like that (I don’t even own a Desktop PC these days, but back then I was a pretty big PC gamer). I had to play Doom 3 on my mate’s computers, and I did pick up the XBOX version later on (which was awful, quite frankly). Plus, I still don’t think you can blame the writer – he isn’t the one making the actual game. If there aren’t many hell levels, or characters after the first couple of levels, what could he do? I think the intro and the sections with Sarge were very good, so in the sections where the story was important, it worked pretty well IMO. And considering nobody even expected there to *be* a story at all, that’s not bad going.

Rok’s right though – those hell levels just suck. Too short, and over far too quickly. And the Cyberdemon was indeed a miserable failure. More danger of falling off a ledge than dying to the thing itself!

This:

Whenever you hear people reminisce about the Gamecube, no one ever mentions Baten Kaitos. There’s always mention of Skies of Arcadia or Fire Emblem, but it seems to me that this franchise is often overlooked. In any case, I decided to start with the prequel first, simply because it occurs chronologically before the first game which was released a few years prior. So far it’s pretty good, even though I’m not a huge fan of turn based RPGs, but the game keeps you involved as your opponents make their move. It took me a little bit to understand the Magnus card battling system as it was unclear at first. Even so, they ease you into it, stalling long enough for one to grasp the concept before turning up the heat. Visually, it’s a pretty good looking late era GCN title, though I’m not a huge fan of prerendered backdrops. If there was only one complaint I have, is that the environments suffer because of this design decision. It’s Final Fantasy VII all over again with stagnant and lifeless environs despite being populated with NPCs and enemy creatures. Plus there’s the issue with deciphering what plane you’re occupying when encountering mutitiered environments. Regardless, it’s still good fun, though I lost an hour’s worth of playtime because I had to go to work, and the nearest save points were literally blockaded off. Not cool.

The card battle system was just plain odd, and there was nothing to raise it above the crowd other than this highly questionable decision. Couldn’t disagree more about FF7’s environments though – FF7 is a perfect blend of gothic, rural working class reality and grungy steampunk. By far my favourite FF world visually.

I’m not saying that either Final Fantasy VII’s or Baten Kaitos’s backdrops were not asthetically pleasing, but simply put, full polygonal environments would have been preferred over prerendered. Prerendered doesn’t age well, and. simply does not hold up to higher resolutions. The use also feels stagnant and lifeless, and I’m not simply just referring to either FFVII or Baten Kaitos.

I believe it has worked in the past, such as Donkey Kong Country, but more often than not, prerendered environments hold the design of a game back. It restricts the animation of the environment, while preventing any type of direct or indirect camera control and movement.

Either way, Final Fantasy VII still provided me with an excellent four hours of fun, and Baten Kaitos is still an enjoyable experience nonetheless.

That ‘Walking Dead’ episode was finally released, so I burned through that. I have to say that I didn’t enjoy it as much as the 2nd episode at all. The events that took place needed to happen, and most of the obvious candidates finally copped it. Wasn’t wild about the first half of this episode – a few key moments were written very strangely indeed, and it drained the tension, as I was left thinking ‘How did that even happen?’ Ultimately, the episode felt a bit rushed IMO (and I know I was unhappy it was late, but that a case of anger at getting it later than other regions, not anger at the development time itself).

Regardless, it crams in a few too many locations and sequences, seemingly intent on hustling along at a feverish pace that didn’t give the events that were occurring a chance to develop properly. I would have preferred that they made the episode purely focused around the events of the first 2 thirds, and really draw a line under that phase of the game, with the attention it deserved. As is, I felt that important events and characters were brushed off and dealt with a little too quickly (with one notable exception). Emotionally and in terms of pacing etc, the episode feels like it should end at a certain obvious point – yet it keeps rolling on, despite the last third being stuff that could be done at the start of the next episode, or even happen off-screen.

There were some really good moments – the halfway point is extremely powerful, and easily the highpoint of the episode. But for the most part, this cooled my jets a little on this game. It just felt like a transition episode, a ‘big bit of middle’, where not all the transitions went particularly smoothly or believably. It also culled the cast to the point where I don’t really care that much about the people who are left. I don’t *not* care – I just would have cared more had certain characters from the various episodes survived.

And my only bone to pick with Baiten Kaitos was that card battle system. That just did my head in completely.

I can respect that. Though interestingly enough, as I’ve move further in BK, I’ve noticed that the developers used more than just prerendered CG for the environments. They also utilized paintings, and modeled clay on other types of environs. Goes back to my original thoughts on prerendered backdrops, but at least it provides variety. Looks like paintings are used for more organic maps versus the industrialized cities of Mintaka. Looks beautiful, but still lifeless. I’ve gotten used to it by now, since I’ve been in it for 24 hours or so.

The card system is a little difficult to wrap your head around at first, but once you figure it out, it’s pretty easy to understand the in’s and out’s of the system.

Basically, each card has a spirit cost which ranges from 0 to 5 (at least at this point in the game). Tiers 0 through 3 are able to be played at any time during your turn, while 4 and 5 need the Spirit Meter built up by completing combos with lesser cost level cards. To run a combo, you must play the cards sequentially by their established Spirit Cost. Simply put; if you have cards in your hand that have 0 on one (which usually pertains to equipment), 1 on another (weak attack), 2 on another (medium attack), 3 on yet another (strong attack), then you simply play those in order from 0 to 3 which then opens up for character specific specials which reside in cards labeled with either a 4 or 5. However, you can’t play two level cards of the same number on the same turn, and each card has to build up to the next. Meaning you can’t string a combo by playing a 3 prior to playing a 1.

I realize that it’s a lot to take in, but it starts to make sense once you get into it.

Just seemed like an awful lot of hassle to go through, to have a simple throwdown with enemies. I don’t play JRPGs (or any RPGs for that matter) for the gameplay. Be it Final Fantasy, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, whatever, I’m playing for the story, the characters, exploring the world etc. Of course there needs to be some fighting, but my abiding hope for any RPG system is that it isn’t obtrusive, that it doesn’t get in the way too much, of the real reasons that I’m playing. If it can interest me with the systems, then that’s a nice bonus (games like Demon’s Souls/Dark Souls have done just that), but they’re a rarity. Mostly, I treat RPG systems like the music in movies – I only remember and notice it when its bad.

An ideal RPG system for me, is simple enough that it lets you rattle off generic encounters quickly and easily, provided you know what you’re doing, but has enough depth that the encounters that matter (typically bosses) can be satisfying, and worthwhile. Systems that are unnecessarily fiddly just frustrate me, because they aren’t why I’m playing in the first place.

An ideal RPG system for me, is simple enough that it lets you rattle off generic encounters quickly and easily, provided you know what you’re doing, but has enough depth that the encounters that matter (typically bosses) can be satisfying, and worthwhile. Systems that are unnecessarily fiddly just frustrate me, because they aren’t why I’m playing in the first place.

Very true. I suppose if you can’t get though complex RPG battle systems, there really isn’t a point in playing, regardless of what form they may take. Baten Kaitos does indeed have a system that makes you stop and think, though to tell you the truth, this is only the second turn based RPG I’ve ever played, so I’m just geting over it myself. The first being Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga — now that was a fun game.

So I played Slender: The Eight Pages last night. Boy, did that get my heart racing, and I don’t think I’ve ever played a game that legitimately creeped me out. I managed to collect four pages before I met my end.

Whatever happened to the rights to the IP? Does Sega just keep it out of spite (themselves being in no position to make games)?

The only reason Shenmue III didn’t come about, was due to the high production costs of the previous installments and that Shenmue II was considered a ‘financial failure’ (Shenmue II sold only 400k units, compared to Shenmue’s 1.3 million units). After that, Sega put the series ‘On Hold’.

There has been numerous attempts by fans to persuade Sega to finish this series with Shenmue III (Having the last 6 chapters, as Shenmue had the first chapter, Shenmue II had chapters 3-5. Chapter 2 was released in a manga form "Shenmue: Side Story" (originally published in the Japanese publication, Dorimaga)) on Facebook, Twitter and myspace.

Sega still has the IP… probably just don’t know what to do with it…

Finished Ghostbusters: The Videogame on PS3 – a little short, but a riot none the less. ๐Ÿ˜€ Apart from some niggly control issues (but then I presume controlling a stream of accelerated protons in mid air would be just as difficult in real life. ;)) I thoroughly enjoyed it – and with the original cast from the films onboard for voice acting (Bill Murray’s deadpan puns especially had me constantly on the floor in laughter, just like in the films :p), it increased the awesome factor tenfold.

I’ve been wanting to play Battlefield 3 for the past two days, but I kept getting this stupid disc error/unreadable disc error(Xbox360), even though the game worked perfectly three days ago. Is anyone else having this issue, because I can’t be the only one. Plus, it’s pissing me off that DICE isn’t acknowledging if it’s a problem from them or the game it self(which is unlikely, since my copy only has one scratch and a couple of minor scratches).

Advance Wars 1 – its always odd to play the first game in a series last! Obviously not as developed as the later ones, but still a great game and the multiple different paths you can take through the game is something that the later ones don’t have. Story feels a little sparse and rushed compared to the others (although the basic idea is sound). The final mission was very good too – an absolutely epic throwdown, that is far better than the cheap ‘sneak in the back and blow up the objective’ ending to Advance Wars 2, and the joke of a final level that AW: Dual Strike had. Was still a little disappointed that Sturm had so little story though.

Fine games. They should make another Advance Wars with this cast of the first 3 games. Days of Ruin was a great game, and probably had the best actual gameplay of any of them, but the cast of characters, world and story weren’t nearly as endearing.

I’ve died, even AFTER winning the battle.

Oxygen is low, heath bay is broken, and there’s a fire + hull break.

Fires cripple Oxygen tank, crew members are getting low HP because they’re trying to put the fires out.

The fires die, but they’re losing too much HP because they’re asphyxiation is happening too quickly.

Finally i get my hands on Killzone 3 ( so far ive had different priorities ) aaaand its actually worse then second part…
Reason for that is even that controls are better and coop is cool thing, they did short campaign and multiplayer? Something between 6 maps in standart, not much original structure of maps, no 32 players, only 5 ribbons and why in the hell i cant now just come to random squad? Its shame because they did a great job on weapons, class modes and other stuff like 3D or Move controling… The best is of course main villain Stahl with great voice acting by famous actor who once played Caligula ( i really dont member a name but his voice i recognise anywhere ) and new civil war between Helghast it could be much more better… I miss Hakha, where the hell is he anyway?
Second game is Final fantasy XII, its my first cut in this serie so im learning how to fight in another way then in real time ( i mean like in God of war for example ), still i have always compulsive need block attacks myself and not waiting if he does that for me…hehe

Resident Evil 6.

Despite many problems with the controls, I’m actually enjoying this a lot more than I expected to. Only played Chris Redfield’s campaign so far, and I’m only up to chapter 3, but so far its not nearly as calamitous as I’d feared. Sure, his campaign feels like Call of Duty, but Chris is a character who suits a military setting, as does the BSAA. Its a natural progression for the story to see the bioweapons actually being used by militias around the world (as Umbrella weren’t making these things for the fun of it). So despite it obviously being a million miles away from what RE sued to be, I didn’t expect for one second that they would return to survival horror. Therefore, I’m trying to enjoy the game for what it is, not what I hoped it might be.

Liking how the story is panning out so far (although some sequences are cringeworthy, as you might expect – the hostage rescue bit in Chapter 1 was unintentionally hilarious). Still too early to say for sure, but first impressions are more or less positive. The controls really are a pain though – the cover system only works when it feels like it, and the camera often jumps right onto your back, making it impossible to see what’s going on. Combat kill animations are fun and violent, but they often leave you disoriented, as you lose track of where you are relative to the enemies when you come out of it.

But its just a case of getting used to it. Every so often it will annoy me, but I’m getting over it. Really enjoying being able to melee people properly as well. Running about, hacking and blasting with a shotgun and machete = win.

I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it.

I also liked how instead of getting the herbs as plants, they’re converted into medicine tablets you can save up without having them take up space in your inventory. And they only restore one health square instead of the traditional way, which I also like, because it makes it a bit challenging and makes you want to try and avoid taking a lot of damage. I don’t have the game, but I’m going by what I’ve experienced in the demos.

Making steady progress with RE6. Finished all but one chapter of Chris’s campaign, but decided to stop there for the moment and go over to Jake’s campaign. Reason is that the stories intersect, and I don’t really want to do the final chapter of Chris’s campaign yet, because it will necessarily give spoilers for what happens with the other characters too. My plan therefore is to finish Chapters 1-4 of Jake and Leon’s campaigns first, before I do anyone’s final chapter.

The game has its ups and downs, but one thing that nobody can complain about is that you get an awful lot of bang for your buck. 3 campaigns, with a choice of 2 characters in each one. And even though I only finished up to the start of Chapter 5 with Chris, I felt like I’d been through the wars. Some sections work better than others, but it felt like the game was trying out something new pretty much every stage of the way, whilst still giving lots of general action too. I confess too that whilst the game doesn’t seem very scary, there was one bit in Chapter 4 which freaked me out completely.

Whole game feels really cinematic, like a good quality action film or series (24 for example). Like I say, it doesn’t all work, but its much more hit than miss IMO. The game is at least trying, and that scores a lot of points with me.

So yeah, playing as Sherry Birkin at the moment in Jake’s campaign. I like her – she’s really fast!

Finished the 3 main campaigns of RE6. Leon’s campaign was by far the worst – I’m greatly relieved that I didn’t let his campaign be my introduction to the game. His fourth Chapter is okay, but mostly his campaign is a huge letdown. It all seems so disconnected to everything else, his big bad doesn’t actually have anything to do with the main global threat, he has almost no variety in the enemies he faces (he spends 90% of his time fighting basic zombies and bosses). Plus his dialogue is noticeably worse than the other characters – his cheesy quips aren’t funny at all, and make him seem like a bit of a fool at times. Helena is also very poor, being by turns surly, ungrateful, manipulative, humourless, outrageously unprofessional given the importance of her job and just all around an unlikable character in how she displays no interest in helping people in trouble. She has her reasons, but her behaviour is still every kind of unacceptable IMO.

I just didn’t get much out of his campaign at all. There was barely any story at all for the first 2 chapters, and what little there was, has a few oddities (like how Leon doesn’t seem to know any of the main characters in the early stages of his campaign, despite him being in a position where he surely would have met them even if only in passing). They also include a scene where he watches a tape of something very important, then completely forgets about it, and doesn’t inquire about it to the relevant people ever, despite it being of vital importance to what is actually going on (which means he never find out, and misses out on most of the plot because of it!)

Add in that his levels ranged from mediocre to actively bad, with him seeming to spend enormous amounts of time messing about underground, doing absolutely nothing, and his campaign was a chronic failure. Even the much touted survival horror of his early levels is really, really bad (despite a good opening 10 minutes or so). Thankfully as I say, the other 2 campaigns are much better, so my overall extreme of the game hasn’t been affected.

Some of the level design is different in Sigma, and it always makes the game easier. Its still a hard game, but Black is the definitive Gaiden IMO. And how dare people be even talking about the sequels. Both NG2 and NG3 are awful.

My point was that the only real reason to play Ninja Gaiden is to test yourself against one of the hardest games out there. The difficulty is what makes that game so essential, so the definitive experience is obtained by playing the hardest version IMO. If you don’t have an Xbox, then as you say, its a moot point. I just assumed you would have one, as you came across as a big collector on that thread a couple of months ago. My mistake.

For someone who is so adamant that people pay attention to what he writes, you don’t pay much attention yourself do you, Rok? Try actually reading what people write, before having a go. ‘Assumed’ means I *had* assumed it, before you told me otherwise.

If you have a Wii, might I recommend Red Steel 2. An excellent take on the Asian/Western mashup.

I’m currently going through Black Mesa. You know, that Half Life remake that was just released. It’s quite awesome so far, not nearly as buggy as some people claim it to be.

Completed all circuits in the Beginner and Standard divisions in F-Zero: Maximum Velocity for GBA. It’s a hard racer, but once you get a handle on the controls, it’s not too bad. At least until you get further along, and then the bots get brutal.

I also finally finished Baten Kaitos Origins with a time of 113 hours and 33 minutes. It is officially the longest game I’ve ever played. I also received the best ending after doing everything I had to do to get it. With no cheats or tutorials. Good stuff, and I am entirely satisfied with the conclusion.

Dishonored and Halo 4.

However you choose to approach Dishonored, it’s a game that asks you to think, plan, be smart. It’s a wonderfully empowering game because of this, as you lurk in the shadows knowing the powers you possess and the options you have. It’s elegantly designed to make the most of those tools, but isn’t afraid of changing the rules in order to keep its (admittedly quite predictable) story bubbling along.

I’m calling shenanigans as well. Though he could’ve gotten a pirated version from another region, as I was once able to play Halo 3: ODST before its U.S. release by playing a pirated french release via a hacked Xbox 360. The same could be said for him.

In any case,

I played some MarioKart: Double Dash for GCN with a buddy. I cleared my save and started fresh. Haven’t actually been through it myself as I was using my older brother’s save file from way back. Figured it was time to go through all the cups since I’ve done that with every other MK title.

I beat Black Mesa. My frame rate dropped considerably at the end as there was so much going on at once. If you guys haven’t tried it yet, I highly suggest it. It’s an awesome experience, especially considering it was community developed by a group of modders. Best mod I’ve ever played, and best of all, it’s accessible to everyone as the Source SDK Base is free to download via Steam.

Started playing Bit.Trip Fate for Wii. Made it to the fourth level, aptly titled "Frustration." I’m stuck on it at the moment, but I shall plow through. I’ve mostly been downed by the boss, so it’s basically down to figuring out his pattern.

And some Minecraft, because I got fed up with that friggin’ boss.

From what I’ve heard, Halo 4 has already been leaked pre-release on the net – it’s what happens when you outsource production to other countries on the cheap.

Been in another retro mood lately and fired up my Mega Drive emulator – been playing Dracula Unleashed (Mega CD). Despite the grainy, badly pixellated FMV and rather hammy acting, it’s still fun. Also it’s at least involving proper vampires, not the stupid glittery sugar-coated Twilight posers. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Castlevania still does it best however.

Quite a bit of Minecraft. I fleshed out the remaining floors on my high-rise structure. I fixed my chicken/egg farm by adding an additional piston to keep the chickens from going off where they’re not supposed to when I activate the cooking mechanism. I’m now currently working on the landscaping around my high-rise as the cleared space looked rather plain and lifeless. Dug out a river with a waterfall, and put a road parallel to it. It’s beginning to look awesome.

Once I get this done, I’m going to work on my next project: a cabin on top of my mountain base. I’m gathering ideas from YouTube, though it’s not going to be quite as grand, it’s still going to be pretty cool.

Finished X-COM yesterday, and its pretty damn good. The slight changes to the gameplay are generally for the better (although combat units like the Chrysalid really got shafted by the new system), and the game is basically as good as it always was. Falls apart towards the end, with an extremely rushed final third, but overall a pretty great game.

Dishonoured.

Being someone who as a rule despises stealth games, it was only the unusual Bioshockesque world that drew me to this. I hate playing as thieves, assassins etc etc, so this game had a lot to do to convince me to play beyond the first couple of hours. So its a tribute to Arkane that I did manage to get through the whole game, and stealthily enough to get the good ending. It was touch and go at times though, and I really hated the way that the game says ‘Hey, you can do combat or stealth – but if you do combat, its the wrong choice and you’ll get the bad ending’.

But I put up with it, and at times this is a pretty great game. I will never be someone who enjoys stealth or assassinating people etc etc, but the world was quite interesting and the story (though it has big problems) was sufficient to keep me going to the end. The game’s real problem is that it tries to cram in too many different ideas and images, rather than focusing and developing a smaller number of the more core ideas. For example, the plague sweeping the city, the swarms of rats, plague zombies etc etc sounds good on paper, but in practice, barely seems to matter at all. Whenever you encounter such things, you almost feel like you must be going the wrong way, because it has such little relevance to anything.

The game’s characters also disappoint, and not because they are bad ideas, but because you know so little about them, and they do and say so little. Characters, quests, whole locations can often feel frustratingly underused and/or undeveloped. The Masquerade Ball in Mission 4 for example should have been the best level. Go undercover to a masked ball, mingle with the guests trying to find which of 3 sisters is your mark, then work out how to kill her in the middle of a huge crowd. Sounds great, but its so easy and is over so quickly that I was hanging around for a full hour afterwards trying to find something else to do, because the main mission had been so heartbreakingly unsatisfying.

It may sound like I hated this game, but I did quite enjoy it. The fact that I even finished it, and wanted to play it at all, is much more than most stealth games ever evoke in me, so the game must have done something right. It just feels like a bit of a mess in terms of narrative and world building/storytelling etc. Key ideas are never explained (The Outsider and your magic powers), whereas others feel like they are there just to pad out the game (Flooded District, The Lighthouse etc etc). But overall, from a man who usually really doesn’t like this sort of thing, I thought it was pretty good.

Persona 2.

The spreading rumours thing is a great idea, and its a welcome relief from the first game that you don’t have random encounters on the city map screens. The characters are pretty good, although the more Persona games that you play, the more you realise that they are just recycling the same basic characters and stories. Still, its a fun game for the most part. No demon fusing in this one, but you still have to do the whole negotiation thing, which is a pain. Definitely an area that the newer games improve on.

Other than that, going through Killzone HD. Its still pretty awful, but I don’t mind – I always did like the Killzone universe.

Logged into FFXIV for the first time in months – with only a day to go before the original version is shut down in preparation for the rebooted ‘2.0’ version’s release in January, the current game environment very much shows a world in it’s last pitiful dying throes – with the Dalamud meteor looming huge overhead like the Sword of Damocles, imperial airships flying over every city unhindered and all zone music replaced with a haunting a capella version of FFXIV’s vocal theme Answers – it really does seem like the lead up to the apocalypse.

I’m not too proud of it, but I just can’t stand some of the Red Harvest missions that feel more like police work.

Had the sudden urge to replay Gears of War 3, which seemed a lot better this time, than I remember it being. I still think the main story is disappointing (aside from the excellent Chapter 1, most of the story feels like padding and characters like Dom, Anya etc hardly get anything to say or do). It was still great fun to play through – but I wanted to play at least one level as Carmine!

Just started Halo 4. Early days yet (Chapter 3), but so far… Hmm. Some of the visuals have been very impressive, and the intro movie with the Doctor talking to the guy was great. But I don’t know… the first couple of levels have felt a bit lifeless and small time. Encounters with enemies often feel strangely flat and unengaging, and having to fight the Covenant so much again is extremely dispiriting. That story arc was done and dusted – they should have waited at least 1 game, before bringing them back as allies. I just don’t really want to fight them again!

That said though, I’m just starting to meet the new enemies now. And both Halo 2 and Halo 3 were slow starters too, so here’s hoping.

I beat a couple games the past couple of days. Both short, and both in one sitting each. Up first is Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 for Wii. A fun game, just like the Sonic games I used to play from the Genesis. I didn’t have a problem with the way Sonic was animated or with the tightness of the controls. It felt like a Sonic game should. Though the quirky music was incredibly obnoxious, and annoying. It was about the only thing I really disliked about the game. This coming from someone who loves video game music, the Sonic games especially. The game was short, though acceptable as Sega was initially going for an episodic format, that went the way of the Half Life 2 episodes. I suppose it would have taken me a bit longer had I hunted down every last Chaos Emerald, but the special stages are kinda ridiculous.

On the following night after work, I sat down and played Bit.Trip Flux for Wii, the last of the Bit.Trip saga before Runner 2 is released. Started out on Normal difficulty, but I wasn’t getting anywhere, so I dropped it down to Easy. I NEVER do that, unless the game is absolutely unrelenting. Apparently Easy was too easy as I breezed through it. Good enough for me. I only really wanted to listen to the awesome music, and failing at the game prevents that from happening.

Since I beat those two games, during the interim while I wait for MegaMan X8 to arrive in the mail, I’ve been playing a little bit of TrackMania Nations, Team Fortress 2, and some Goldeneye: Source.

I’ve also been spending quite a bit more time in Minecraft. I just did some interior decorating for my cabin, which I have dubbed, "Skywalker Ranch". Got some red carpenting down, and added some lighting via redstone lamps. Though hunting for glowstone in the Nether is a pain. Stupid Zombie Pigmen. I’m going to start construction on my next project, which will be the first level from Wolfenstein 3D. I know people have done it already, but I want to do it for myself, and perhaps get it at a 1:1 ratio.

Finished Halo 4 – odd game. There’s a lot wrong with it, but it still manages to do the really important things well enough, that its actually my favourite installment since Halo 1. Whilst the storytelling is very hit and miss, with lots of half-formed ideas, poor explanation and development of key elements etc, it manages to recapture some of the ‘sombre but adventurous’ magic of the first game. It showed me enough to get me excited about the series again – I want to know more, I want to know what happens next etc.

But like I say, lots of issues too. The Covenant and their whole presence in the game, motivations etc is left completely blank. Not only that, but when Chief and Cortana finally meet some people who might know why they are attacking again, it never comes up! The main bad guy and his minions are pretty poor too, and that’s a real shame. Its not totally hopeless though – they feel like a first draft that wasn’t developed, rather than an out and out bad idea. They just need a bit more work, and some more variety, and they should be fine. But both factions lack personality – the Prometheans for obvious reasons, but the Covenant aren’t their jolly old ‘Ho ho ho – further proof of my prowess, rraggh!’ selves in this game. They’re supposedly more fanatical, but they just come across as zombie covenant, with none of that old spark that made them such lovably eccentric crackpot enemies.

But the tone feels right, the relationship between and personalities of Master Chief and Cortana have never been better, plus the ongoing story looks to be moving in an interesting direction.

Yeah, I never quite understood if the Covenant I faced were the ones that still believed in "The Great Journey" or they broke the truce(btw, I wonder what The Arbiter has been up to since it’s been 4 years.) Either way, the campaign was great.

I understand that Chief and Cortana can’t be discussing it all the time, nor would it make any sense to go up to a Covenant battle squad and ask them nicely – as all you’d likely get for your troubles is a grenade! Plus, it isn’t a big stretch for Chief and Cortana to just assume that the truce with the Covenant and Humanity was hardly set in stone, and was unlikely to last (Lord Hood as much as says this in Halo 3’s ending – that he’s grateful and all, but still considers the Covenant to be murdering swines etc).

The part I don’t get though, is why neither Chief or Cortana ask the Infinity crew if they have any idea what’s going on, if the truce is officially off, what’s been going on between the Covenant and Humanity etc since they last saw everyone. A bit more info (or any at all!) would have been handy. As it is, the apparently motiveless Covenant is something that everyone is scratching their head about, and detracting from what was (as you rightly say) a pretty great campaign, all told.

And if the Arbiter is anything like he was when I was playing as him, he’s probably spent all his time between the games plasma swording his way about and into people etc – you have to admit that it never gets old! ๐Ÿ˜€

Fate Extra. Interesting game, with a great ‘Hunger Games’ style central idea, and very well written for the most part. Further proof that the great ‘tragic, macabre, but also uplifting’ atmosphere of Atlus’ older games may in fact have been the influence of Ghostlight. Regardless, it was nice to play a game with that kind of atmosphere again.

And hey, any game with a cannibal girl who ate her own parents to show how much she loved them, dresses like the Joker, and has Count Dracula as her henchmen, has to be worth at least some praise, right?

Fate Extra is (to my knowledge anyway), only on the PSP. I downloaded it from the store – not sure how old it is, or if you can get it anywhere else. It might not be all that incredible in terms of actual gameplay (its okay, just nothing special), but the story was very good. Best analogy I can make is Killer7 – amazing story and worthwhile experience overall, but the game itself… isn’t the reason to play. And like I said, the characters were great – being hunted through the school by Robin Hood, who was trying to assassinate me with poisoned arrows, was another highlight!

And yeah, you kind of had to expect a downer ending if you were playing a game based on Lovecraft. The whole point is that the greater forces are completely beyond Man’s ability to understand or resist. If you want a Lovecraftish experience that does have a more empowering and happier ending, then try Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem. There are lots of downer moments (most of the cast end up being gruesomely killed), but they mostly all achieve something useful before they die, and you do get to defeat the evil properly in the end.

Yeah, I’ve already played Eternal Darkness. Love that game, such a shame there’s not that many Lovecraft inspired(or based)video games.

Also, I never actually read any of Lovecraft’s stuff, so, I couldn’t really expect the game to have a downer ending. Some of his book sound interesting though and that one movie I’ve seen on Amazon I’ve been wanting to get, Dagon, looks interesting.

There’s Shadow of the Comet & Prisoner of Ice, Graphic adventure games Inspired by lovecraft’s work. Which I haven’t heard if the got somekind of rerelease or port to this generation of software. You still have DOSBox to make them work, but it’s kinda hard if you are not used to emulation and configuration of stuff on PC.

You could check those out if you liked some Broken Sword or Monkey Island games.

Most of Lovecraft’s work is collections of fairly short stories (Dagon certainly is). They basically all have the same plot (Guy happens upon creepy goings on, investigates against his better judgement, sees something absolutely horrific, loses his marbles completely). I find the idea and the atmosphere of the universes(s) he created, to be more entertaining than the books themselves actually (as they are a bit repetitive, and I rarely feel all that close to the characters). But Lovecraft’s importance as an influence for the horror genre cannot be overstated.

And yeah, in an ideal world, there would be more games based on his work, more horror games in general. But as ever, its about what sells and horror very sadly doesn’t sell anywhere near as well as straight up action. Now that games cost so much to make, less popular genres are really getting squeezed. Still, we manage to sneak a few titles under the radar every now and then! So here’s hoping…

Just finished the Nod campaign on Command and Conquer 3. Went back to it after I saw Dodo was playing it a couple of weeks back. I’d been meaning to give it another playthrough, and its just as ace as I remember it. Nod always have the best campaign – Kane rules!

As FFXIV servers are now back up after a nearly two-week hiatus and the apocalyptic impact of Dalamud (if you could even call it an ‘impact’ ;)), and as a recent hardware upgrade to my computer means the game runs so much better for me, I’ve started getting back into the game – and all things considered, two-years of improvements definitely make for a much better experience than it was at launch, even though there is now going to be no new additions to the original version, it’s going to remain active for as long as player logins remain constant.

Either way, I can’t wait for the 2.0 reboot in a few months. ๐Ÿ™‚

Walking Dead. Finished it, and it was pretty damn good. The final episode was okay, and had several great moments, but the identity of the final villain was disappointing, and lacked credibility. It feels utterly bizarre and contrived when you find out who he is, but is somewhat saved by the fact that the character is very well written and acted. Basically, its a really good scene, but it feels like they plucked the villain out of nowhere.

Elsewhere, the events were mostly satisfying. One important supporting cast member got a really good final scene, but most of the others just sort of faded out. I guess all that really matters is that the closing scenes with Lee and Clementine don’t disappoint. Its been a great ride, and definitely the best adventure game I’ve played in an age and a day.

Hi all

I need your help with the newest game I have downloaded from the iTunes store for the iPad. (can also be played on the iPhone)

The game "Guardian Cross" is a card based game with Final Fantasy like monsters. The link with Yu-Gi-Oh and Final Fantasy is undenieable. I am a fan of both, so it is a nice game to play ๐Ÿ™‚

I need people who download the game "Guardian Cross" from the store and register an account. It is important to use the invitation code "JR93709" (without the " " offcourse ;)). We will then both get a nice bonus. The more people who register with the code the better ๐Ÿ™‚
Game is free, so it will only cost some time.

For the people who already play this game; if you are tired gifting slimes to people without getting any in return; sent them to me (account Arctura). From every two slimes sent to me I will return one, so that is a free increase of 50% of slimes for your account ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks all!!

MegaMan X8 for PS2. Much better than X7, though there are still some annoying levels. At least they tried something different for every level. Gotta give them that much credit.

I’m also building an adventure map from scratch in survival mode within Minecraft. It’s actually a recreation of E1M1 from Wolfenstein 3D. The YouTube videos I saw of the few who actually posted didn’t really satisfy me, even with custom texture packs, so I took on this project initially just to have it as a project in my world. It then occurred to me that I could feasibly construct it into an adventure map by digging out natural mob spawners and creating a key puzzle by putting secrets behind locked doors, while hiding key levers in various spots around the map.

I already have the map laid out, and the mob spawners set, now it’s come down to detail work. Getting paintings up and laying out props and putting in piston powered doors. It’s looking pretty sweet.

Portal 2 brought me to the verge of tears. It was at the point when GLaDOS tells Chell that she’s going to be reunited with her parents after being told she was an orphan in the first game. Then of course there was no such reunion. That’s what got to me.

I am not an orphan… though thinking about her situation nearly brought a tear to my eye. I practically put myself in her shoes, thinking that if I was somehow ripped away from parents for a long period of time. Then to be told I would be able to see them, only to be fooled into giving into false hope.

I am also a grown man who doesn’t live with his parents…

Starting my insanity playthrough for Mass Effect 3… for the third time (Failed the first time due to save file corruption and second time due to ‘Clearing system cache’)… this time though, going as a Soldier and going to wear the Cerberus Apex Armor from the Alternate Appearance Pack 1, as the bonuses from it far outweigh the bonuses from the other armors, imho..

Bonus power wise, going with Flare, incredibly OP biotic ability (Which, what can one expect as it was a ability of Aria T’Loak’s from Omega DLC) specced for 4A (Damage and Force), 5A (Rechaarge Speed) and 6B evolutions (Improved Damage), so on Insanity it should help with clearing out the low-mid level mooks.

Weapon wise, not going to overburden my power cooldown, but a little unsure of what weapons to take… I do have both of the Weapon DLC packs, which I’m almost 100% certain are the original, UNnerfed MP weapons (Typhoon, Piranha, Krysae, Acolyte etc) though. Ahh well, I’ll figure it out.

P4 is massively overrated, but still a great game. Its in the same vein as Mass Effect 2, Resident Evil 4 etc, in that because its the installment that the mainstream and non series fans etc like the best, that means it *is* the best, according to them. Don’t get me wrong – I like the game, but the main story is terrible (which is very annoying, since the opening hour or so makes it seem like it’ll be great). Seriously, its one of the worst paced stories ever. After that opening hour, the story barely moves at all until the very, very end – which is ridiculous and guilty of all the usual crimes that have plagued the second halves of JRPGs down the ages.

Its a shame, as the game has a likeable (if overly familiar in terms of their archetypes) set of characters, and an interesting premise. In the end though, it felt a bit too lightweight, and too willing to tone things down to keep gamers comfortable and entertained. Atlus games should be edgy and challenging IMO.

I actually found Seath to be rather easy – got him first time. Although I was very high level at that point, having done excessive grinding to get past Dragonslayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough. Those two kicked me right up the arse – to death. Dark Souls is an ace game, but the thought of having to beat them again puts me off attempting another playthrough! And that bit where you have to run along those narrow ledges in Anar Londo, whilst those knights fire bolt thrower sized arrows at you… Rrrghh!!!

Still, managed it all in the end – so many great moments. The battle against the Four Kings in the Abyss, creeping through the pitch dark Tomb of the Giants, fighting the Hydra, laughing with relief at that little croc then gulping in terror as you see its grafted on the back of the enormous Gaping Dragon… But the cutscene when Sen’s Fortress opens was probably my favourite moment – there’s just something magical about that shot from inside the entrance hall, the sunlight coming sparkling in as the gate rises. And I’d been trying to work out how to get in there *forever*. Mind you, I didn’t last long inside before I came screaming back out, pursued by those giant snake men! ๐Ÿ˜€

Just an awesome, awesome game. And there’s a sequel on the way – I’ll allow it!

I find it ironic that I’ve done so much more in just one month than in the previous two years of service from when I originally started in the game (and done it all on my own with no other players helping). If only FFXI was so soloable. ๐Ÿ™

ZOMBIU. I really like this game but I freaking suck at it. I’m playing standard mode since I thought beginner would be too easy. I’m far now after dying 50+ times. It’s kind of annoying that you have to keep picking up all the weapons after you die but it’s part of the challenge I guess. Maybe I should quit dying?

As far as I know, the game is naturally like that. I’ve heard plenty of comments in regards to a player’s lifespan within the game usually ending up being quite short.

I beat Mafia II for 360 right before the New Year. First time in a while where a bittersweet ending to a game got to me. One heck of a way to end it off.

I also spent a couple of days on Kirby’s Dreamland for Gameboy. The game took me a grand total of two hours to complete. If I didn’t have to quit after reaching the final level the first time, it would have only taken me an hour. The game doesn’t allow for saves as it is an incredibly short experience. It was a good time, and the first completion of 2013. The game tells me there is a harder difficulty setting after beating it for the first time. Screw that, I’m moving on.

To Armed and Dangerous for PC, specifically. Is it just me, or does it seem like this game hasn’t aged very well? First thing to note, is the compression on the FMV cutscenes. It’s so bad, that the grainyness leads to discoloration. I haven’t seen compression this bad since the FMV at the beginning of ChexQuest. To make matters worse, the animations are incredibly stiff and disjointed. I can’t tell if it was intentional or not, but it looks horrendous. I expect animation like this from an N64 or PSone game, not something that came out last generation, let alone a LucasArts funded title.

Speaking of LucasArts, the typically excellent sound design that this publisher lends carries over here, however it’s covered with lackluster third person shooting, drab environments, and shoddy animations. Gripes aside, the music and excellent voice acting is a treat to the ears, though too bad the voice actors weren’t given a better script. The writers tried to be funny, but a lot of the jokes seem forced, and failed to illicit even a chuckle. I usually don’t laugh at games, so maybe it’s just me.

On the plus side, the crazy weapons are inventive, and the objectives are varied enough to keep me interested. Gameplay and control is solid with friendly AI that actually helps instead of hinders.

Bought it from Steam, but it doesn’t run because of the DRM, so I had to torrent download it.

I’m sorry, but the control scheme and the camera is just so awkward for me, I can’t stand playing it. The only way I’m playing this is with a trainer. I’m not too proud of that, but I just want to see what happened in the first one since Hitman 2 was my first Hitman game and Hitman Contracts was my 2nd Hitman game.

I beat a couple games this past week:

Armed and Dangerous for PC. I’ve already stated my general opinion about the game with my initial impressions. They stayed true through to the end. The end was simply a meh. They were leading up to this huge climactic battle for the Book of Rule, and it simply whittled down to another turret sequence, which I guess sufficed for "boss battles" throughout the game. And then there was drunken bar singing. The audio quality in this game had been stellar up to the point when they had their voice actors sing to horrific animated dancing. Blah. Overall, a pretty standard third person shooter with some nifty gun mechanics that are rarely used, coupled with a fairly competent story.

Then I advanced to Kirby’s Adventure for NES through the Dream Collection for Wii via the WiiU. Hah. I beat that in a few days. Fairly easy, but wonderfully fun.

And now I decided to be a little masochistic, and went on to Blaster Master for NES through the Wii’s Virtual Console service via the WiiU. Heard this game was quite difficult, so we’ll see. A lot of different game mechanics to keep track of, certainly a new experience for me.

-Grinding to level shit up while I watch GitS:SaC

Graphics = Amazing

Music = Amazing

Voice Acting = Mixed (I’m going DUB for my first run)

Animated Cut Scene = Amazing

Game Play = VERY good

My main cons are:
Grinding = It’s been a LONG time since I played a ‘traditional JRPG’ on a home console so, while it can be tedious, it’s an interesting change of pace.

Difficulty = I’m on ‘normal’ so, maybe that’s why, but sometimes it seems like ‘regular’ enemies can be HARDER then the boss whose ass you just kicked.

Saving = Traditional save system kind of took me off guard.
You can only save at save points and the world map, which I haven’t seen in so long I almost lost 5 hours of game play because of it.

Beyond that?
Great, traditional, JRPG with a bit of ‘Pokemon 3D done right’.

I also did this with Resident Evil and it’s remake and noticed the differences right away.

Still playing Aliens: Colonial Marines and enjoying it. Played with three friends on the "Ultimate Bad Ass" difficulty in ‘The Raven’ mission, set in the sewers under Hadley’s Hope (Think where Newt was taken by a Xeno in the movie, as Ripley and Hicks tried to cut through the grating to get her). No weapons, no tracker… only a plasma torch to weld open/close doors and a shoulder mounted lamp. Things got a little… tense… during the escape, with The Raven Xeno charging after us, and we had to weld the doors shut to slow it down… and lost two teammates who were trapped while my friend welded the door on them. He has a habit of trapping people in the reactor and releasing the pressure on the Hazard map of Firebase Reactor in Mass Effect 3 MP.

Also alternating with Mass Effect 3’s MP for this weekend’s operation, a tribute to Robin Sachs, the VA for Zaeed Massani in Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 as well as character in Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Origins Awakening.

I just finished Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story. It’s seriously an awesome game especially to a Bowser fan like myself. Way better than I expected. I just could not stop playing it. I actually got more into it than I did with Partners In Time. I even changed my avatar, user title, and profile cause I loved it so much. Will have to play it again soon and get all the extras! Though I think it’s the shortest game, and had the easiest final battle in the Mario & Luigi series so far. Hopefully this is also the last time we have to see that stupid Fawful… :rolleyes: Bravo, Nintendo. Great game. Hopefully Dream Team will continue to carry on the epicness of this awesome series.

Now starting The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask! I only played it on an emulator, and my new N64 copy came yesterday so now I’m gonna play it finally on the real system. Probably my #2 favorite video game ever.

Blasted through Blaster Master for NES on my Wii. The game got to the point of being ridiculously unfair, so I went through the Homebrew Channel with an NES emulator and used save states to save my progress. Then the bosses became even more retarded hard, so I plugged in the Classic Controller and spammed the turbo button. Yeah, eat that you giant alien. . .thing.

Sorry, I’m not a hardcore NES gamer. I can say I’ve legitimately beaten both NES Zelda games, all the original series MegaMan games, Metroid, and Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japanese release aka The Lost Levels), but Blaster Master was ridiculous with the limited continues. Screw that. Future technology for the win.

I’m going to play Kirby’s Dreamland 2 for Gameboy now whilst listening to The Doors.

Edit: Actually, I turned off DEP(Data Execution Prevention) and Diablo was able to run. For some reason, DEP just stops the game from running, despite putting it in the exception list.

Going to finish Night Watch now that I have the proper files to have it run on Windows 8(I put the d3d9.dll and kernal32.dll files in the Run directory while having the max memory set around 2048 and DEP turned off)

I started Metroid: Zero Mission for GBA today. It seems it’s a whole lot shorter than the original NES Metroid as I’ve already beaten Kraid. I remember it taking me forever just to even find him.

Of course it’s mainly due to the game being far more accessible than the original, which is a plus in my book. I just got done with Blaster Master, and I was dreading a repeat experience.

I’m glad Zero Mission is more it’s own game, rather than simply Metroid with a shiny coat of paint, and makes playing through this all the more enjoyable. As a reimagining of the original story, I’m loving it, and it’s games like these that remind me why I love to game so much.

Just finished Metroid: Zero Mission for GBA tonight. A short but excellent experience. Loved every minute of it. And then I breezed through Spring Breeze from Kirby Super Star for SNES. I guess it was supposed to be a remake of Dream Land, but they neutered the levels. It would have been awesome if it was the full game with the additional mechanics that they put in there with the SNES sprites, but alas we move on. Otherwise, an enjoyable experience – I should play it with my wife, because apparently humans can join in when you add a helper, according to Game Grumps.

So I went and started up Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. This is my first Square turn-based JRPG, so I have no idea what to expect. The art design is throwing me off a bit with the juvenile dialogue. I guess I’m not used to it yet. Either way, not much of a fan of the isometric perspective with prerendered environments, but the gameplay is fun. Similar to Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga’s mechanics, and I know there is a reason for that.

I should also mention that I have also been going through Ocarina of Time’s Master Quest on the 3DS. Zelda is always good fun. No complaints about reworked dungeons.

I’ve reached Bowser’s Keep in Super Mario RPG. Didn’t expect to get to this point so soon as I haven’t been putting a whole lot of time into this game. It’s definitely a whole lot shorter than other turn based RPG’s I’ve been through. Course, this is only the third game I’ve played with a turn based battle system. The first being Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, and that is comparatively longer than this experience.

It’s a fun romp, and to be honest, I’m kinda glad this is all this world has to offer, because I’m still not a huge fan of the isometric perspective, and dated prerendered environments.

I suppose you’re going to attempt the eradication of the inhabitants by making a meteor with a face crash into the planet? Only three days.

I beat several games this past week. The first being Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars for SNES on my WiiU. Fun game. Wrapped up nicely.

Then I made several attempts at Gourmet Race in Kirby Superstar for SNES within the Dream Collection for Wii. I couldn’t seem to beat King Dedede at all, even after ten or so tries. At that point I realized that I must have been doing something wrong as there’s no way a Kirby game should ever be as hard as I was making it out to be. Especially a minigame that’s intended to be shortlived. It turned out that there is a dashing mechanic that I never knew existed as I am more familiar with the first two Gameboy titles rather than the latter entries in the franchise, so it never occurred to me to try running through the course. DERP!

After I was finished with that, I proceeded onto Army Men: Air Attack for PSone. I beat it in three play sessions which usually amounts to two to three hours at a time. Incredibly short, but that’s typical for an Army Men title. I would have had it down to two sessions, but the last boss was giving me problems. Fun game, but prone to sharp difficulty spikes. At least it wasn’t too easy like the first few levels.

I then went on to DynaBlade. Once again, another Kirby game within Kirby Superstar. Pretty cool. I really like how they laid out these minigames. It allows me to extend the life of the collection by spreading them out between different games. And the art style is awesome too.

Haha no. It’s just for looks. ๐Ÿ˜› I thought it was cool that’s in in this game. Cost 6,000 shop points or 600,000 bells so it’s pretty pricey…

And yeah, dashing in Gourmet Race makes it easier… it’s actually too easy in the DS version IMO but the SNES version is harder since Dedede runs faster.

I took some time to beat Gravity Bone and Thirty Flights of Loving. It’s not like it took that much time, but I couldn’t tell if that means I have good taste in indy games or that I wasted my five dollars on a half hour experience.

Tell you this much; there’s no way I’m paying $10 for Dear Esther. Screw dat, I just watched it played on YouTube.

Imho, Gravity Bone was the better experience of the two, as they really should have flushed out the established mechanics (platforming sections and all) to create a fully fleshed out experience that could take more than a few hours to go through. Nope. It ends abruptly… It made me sad, as I loved the direction it was going in.

Thirty Flights of Loving was there just to mess with your head, lacking anything resembling game mechanics.

Well, not everything. Some games I’ve played on normal weren’t too hard, but they’re weren’t too easy(Except for Resident Evil 6, where I played the campaigns on Veteran, because I felt that was appropriate for me). I’d play on harder difficulties if I wanted to, but that would mean more frustration for me, and I don’t like getting frustrated. :p

I guess it’s only if I’m confident enough to play on a harder difficulty.

It took a little bit to get used to the timings in battle cause I’m so used to Partners In Time, and Bowser’s Inside Story timings which are different. One of my top favorite Mario games ever. Also playing this on a Gameboy Player so it actually rumbles! Not very often though, and only in the overworld… but still a nice feature.

I’ll tell you what I’m stuck on. Fire Temple. Ocarina of Time. Master Quest. 3DS.

I MUST BE A RETARD OR SOMETHING.

Wait until you get to the Shadow Temple my friend. I’ve been stuck on that for over a year now… so I started over to see if I misused a key or what.

That makes me feel a bit better. Something tells me the solution is in relative plain site, much like at the point I got stuck in the Forest Temple. I was running around in circles for hours looking for a way to recede the water level in the well. I was just about to consult GameFAQs when I decided to dig in and try again. I then came across the switch, and I really could have found it easily had I simply looked INSIDE the well.

I figured it was going to be hard, as in harder enemies, but not exactly ‘let’s stump the player by hiding the door switch in a clever spot’ harder.

Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem. I’ve only played the first one on the GBA and this game is a lot better than I expected! I know this is the 4th game in the series, so I’ll have to for sure get the others too. Kinda playing this and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

It’s a great game, definately the best in the "Empires" series of Tecmo Koei’s historical fiction range. Being able to upload my character creations AND download others, is a plus for me as well as playing it online with others adds more fun to the game. I’ll be playing this for awhile, even after Dynasty Warriors 8 is released at the end of July this year.

Currently, been playing Defiance, Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires (again lol) and Lord of the Rings: War in the North.

I finally found some time to finish Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. I’d forgotten how hard the final battle is. It only took me about 20 tries this time, unlike a couple of hundred like the first time I played through… now playing through Partners In Time, then followed by Bowser’s Inside Story… again. Might as well, since I beat the first one.

I’ve just 100% all of SA2BHD’s trophies at 74:04:18 of playing. It was fun, but the Chao World became a bit of a grind (I did all the A ranks and story modes whilst barely touching the Chao World haha). I loved SA1 a lot more though, if I’ll be honest. My best leaderboard entry ended up being #8 on Pumpkin Hill, and it was surprisingly easy to get.

I’m going to play Sonic 4: Episode II now, and go for 100% – I actually haven’t played it more than a few hours, or past Sylvania Castle, despite buying it last year.

None of the XBLA/Steam/PSN games gave you the freedom to build a deck. The new one supposedly will, but as it is, I don’t play the virtual version(s) of MTG, I stick with the actual card game itself. It’s a much greater social experience than any of the video games from the series. My wife likes to play them however, and they do come with card freebies, so there’s no complaints from that.

Moving on; I have beaten Okamiden for the DS. It had a long drawn out, but satisfactory ending. An excellent game, though not as great as its predecessor, it still provides an awesome experience.
I also went through The Great Cave Offensive from Kirby SuperStar (SNES), and I’ve now started The World is Not Enough for the N64.

I’ve only seen footage of the original version, but the graphics look improved. They’re not on the same level as RE 6, but it’s a port, so you can’t really expect it to have overhauled graphics.

Finished the game, though. I’m not too proud of using the exploit, but this new form of Tyrant caught me off guard completely.

Been flailing about for something (anything really) new to play, but very little’s caught my fancy at the moment. Games drought + Seemingly Endless Heatwave = Abject Misery.

But, I did play some games.
Not a new game obviously, but I went on a Dragon Age: Origins bender to try and deaden the pain of having to wait so long for Inquisition. Played it through 3 times to mop up all the trophies and experience the Origins I hadn’t previously used, see the various DLC packs etc etc and frankly I never want to see that game again now! (Just joking – but seriously, don’t try that at home!)

Had a spin on Resident Evil Revelations. Cracking game, one of the very best RE games of recent times. Decent story, likable new characters (Jill and Chris aren’t used very well though – they’re unconnected almost completely to the game’s central story, certainly compared to all the new characters, which makes them a bit of a strange choice to be the main characters as they have no real personal stake in what’s happening). Great game though – a ‘proper’ RE game again at last! That last boss though… holy christ, that sod whupped me so many times before I got him!

Took a jaunt through Remember Me. A sort of decentish game, that really wasn’t as good as I was hoping. It had its moments and some of the memory remixes were pretty cool, but… Not a bad game, but not really a very good one either.

Oh, and Bioshock Infinite. It was… meh. Never really clicked with me (and I love the Bioshock series as a rule). I liked the eccentric Lutesc twins, and frankly without them, I probably wouldn’t have made it through the game. Couldn’t really find the motivation to care about anyone else. The vigors seemed really out of place, and didn’t appear to have any in game justification. I mean it was an okay game and all, but I can’t see what all the fuss was about.

Had a go on that new Tomb Raider actually, as well. It was pretty good I thought, but I’m probably not the best judge, seeing as how I hated Tomb Raider in the past. Again, it wasn’t really anything that special, but it did a turn.

But yeah, its been a lean old time, this year. Had a good laugh about the the Xbox One launch, but I’m willing to let bygones be bygones now that they’ve canned the ‘always has to be online’ nonsense. Neither console has any exclusives I care about, so I’m not willing to fly my colours for either ship just yet.

Really wish that more of the old adventure games would be ported to the current handhelds. Beneath a Steel Sky, Grim Fandango, Gabriel Knight – give em to me! Again! I really will buy them again!

Funny you should mention about "Beneath a Steel Sky". On GOG, a summer sale was going on last month and they were giving 10 old games away for free, including Torchlight, and one of the old games was "Beneath a Steeal Sky. I never played it before since I never had a computer back in the day. Since it’s from the same company that made the Broken Sword series, I might enjoy it.

Mass Effect.

Before replaying ME 3 after finishing ME 2, I’m going to watch Mass Effect: Paragon Lost first since it takes place some time before the events of ME 3.

Don’t bother… Paragon Lost rewrites things stated in ME3 and conflicts badly. The anime style is pretty poor as well. A lot of people on the BioWare Social Network and other forums have all slammed it, just like they did to the fourth ME novel, Deception (Which BioWare has acknowledged contains discrepancies with other Mass Effect lore).

Playing Dynasty Warriors 8 and enjoying myself immensely.

Vrykolas
08-03-2013, 03:59 AM
Fans never like continuity changes, and I sympathise completely. But the fact is, they happen all the time. Sometimes the discrepancies are mistakes (Zevran and Leliana’s continued existence in DA2 even if they died in DA:O), but other times the writers just feel certain things work better done a little differently (omni gel no longer opening all locks ever made everywhere).

There is plenty of retcon in the games. Its never good when it happens, but its just one of those things. Quality of product is the only thing that really matters IMO. Continuity issues all eventually sort themselves out in the end.


Darth Revan
08-03-2013, 04:12 AM
Not in the case of Mass Effect Paragon Lost… one major change involving James Vega in the anime and then in the game (especially as the game came out BEFORE the anime)…

At the end of Paragon Lost, James is inducted into the N7 Program as a reward by Captain Anderson and Admiral Hackett for his actions… yet in the game, James approaches Shepard in Shepard’s cabin and says how he has just been invited to join the N7 Program and asks for advice. Continuity is thrown out the window there…

Then there’s the fourth ME novel, Deception… and look at the ire that caused, to where even BioWare denounced it themselves and have stated that they are working on a newer version which’ll fit in with the previous three novels, as well as the games and comics. The quality of the anime, the art style, the voice acting… everything… is all subpar. That’s not just my opinion, but the general consensus regarding Paragon Lost on the BioWare Social Network, other forums, even on Youtube where there are full versions available and the comment sections are full of negativity towards it.


Tanis
08-03-2013, 04:14 AM
Paragon Lost is a cheap cash grab that has more in common with a McDonald’s kid’s toy than an ACTUAL anime movie.

And this is coming from someone who think the whole ME series is just ‘okay’.
No fanboy crap here.

Decided to watch Paragon Lost after finishing up on Feros. Call me crazy, but I thought it was really good. I can see that continuity error Darth Revan pointed out(I didn’t read the spoiler before watching the movie) and it doesn’t really bother me. The animation was very nice and the voice acting was good, especially on Freddie Prinze Jr.’s part, imo . I personally don’t see anything wrong with the animation and voice acting, but whatever. I usually have low expectations. I want the soundtrack now after hearing it in the movie :P. It’s too bad the both of you didn’t enjoy it, but it’s no big deal.

I’ll be getting back to Mass Effect in the morning.

I remember seeing one trailer of it and not hearing about it in a while. It looks interesting.

Vrykolas
08-04-2013, 01:36 AM
Well, as continuity errors go, I don’t really consider that something to get all hot and bothered about. Its a foolish… error (if it actually is an error, as it seems more likely that its an intentional rewrite, given that the actor if nobody else would know it contradicts his earlier work). Its really stupid, whatever the reasoning.

But like I say, these things happen. It really bugged me in ME3 for example, when Joker cracked his knuckles in preparation for some ‘ace piloting’ – that is something he would *never* do, as with his Vrolik’s Symdrome, it would almost certainly lead to severe damage to his hands! Given that they were in the middle of a space battle, and hands being of the utmost importance to a pilot, its like if a star baseball player upon stepping up to bat, turned to his coach and said ‘Hey, I’m feeling so good today, that I’m going to smash my bat with crippling ferocity into my arms and legs a dozen times for luck – that’s the ticket!’

And besides, compared to characters magically being alive when they should be dead like in Dragon Age, it pales into insignificance IMO (because that is actually undermining distinct and important choices that people have made). Nothing kills the illusion quite so much as seeing someone appear when you saw and participated in the scene where they died. To do that without even offering any explanation or justification was terrible. In contrast, this is an error from a spin off extra about a character who is only in 1 of the 3 games, and who is a fairly minor part of the series (the whole information he gives you on that subject is completely optional as well).


DoDoRay9000
08-04-2013, 02:35 AM
Alright, now onto Mass Effect 2.

Hm, I don’t remember Joker popping his knuckles, but that’s probably because I only played the ME 3 campaign once. It wouldn’t have bother me anyway, because I can just pretend that his bones have probably improved in some certain way while at the same time not giving a crap. But that’s just me. =)


Vrykolas
08-04-2013, 03:05 AM
It doesn’t bother me in an ‘Arrggh, that’s it, I’m done with this game!’ kind of way – its just annoying that they take a character, with a disability that they flag up all the time, then have him do something so blatantly out of character. Fans often get far too worked up over continuity issues – I’m usually pretty relaxed about them, unless they directly undermine my choices in the game (or from previous games).

That doesn’t mean I don’t wince when I see continuity errors though. One of the big selling points of the series was that you would get to carry over a character, have your choices matter, see how things pan out etc. That means continuity is of the utmost importance, but Bioware are extremely cavalier about in ME and DA. Basically, its a case of ‘Your choices matter and the world will be consistent – unless we don’t agree with your choices and need the world to do something specific’.

Anyway, I’m playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. The new one’s out in the next few months, so I’m going to play ’em all again in readiness.

I downloaded Ride To Hell: Retribution on the PC to see how bad it really is and, well, I now see how bad it is. So glad I didn’t waste 30$ dollars on it. When I first saw it on a shelf at Gamestop, I was interested until I saw the review scores for it as well as watching this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA3vijm17Bs) recently. I remember hearing about this game(known as just Ride to Hell)in 2007 or 2008 and it looked interesting. It’s very sad seeing how this turned out. It’s like the devs gave up knowing this wasn’t going to turn out good. Only good thing about the game is the music, I really like it. I personally give it a 3 out of 10. It’s somewhat playable, has nice music, but that’s about it.

I’m going to play Shogun 2 after I get RTH: Retribution off my computer.

I never did get round to playing that, but its stayed on my radar just about. Suda’s been a bit off the boil recently IMO. Killer7 is one of my most treasured gaming experiences, simply because of how utterly crazy it is. But his more recent stuff… meh. I guess I judge him more harshly because I consider him to be one of the only remaining hopes for gaming to break out of its risk averse, terminally ‘play it safe’ rut that its in right now.

Speaking of treasured memories though, I had a classic Resident Evil a-thon this weekend. Downloaded RE2 and RE3 to my Vita, dragged out the Gamecube for RE1 remake and RE0. Even after all this time, those games are still amazing. Still can’t get used to the Vita’s method of L2 and R2 buttons (it uses a touchpad on the back of the Vita, which makes holding the damn thing a real pain sometimes). I didn’t even know the Vita had such a thing, until I was playing Symphony of the Night a couple of months ago, and found myself constantly shifting into Wolf Form!

But yeah, the old RE games. Good times, good times.

Playing Tales of Graces f. This is probably one of the hardest rpgs I’ve played. I have to overgrind on the higher difficulties. Then turn the difficulty down and still come close to losing every boss battle.
I’m liking some of the characters though.

Of course the game I’m really waiting for is Disgaea Dimension 2…

Took a look at the 2 DLC packs for Resident Evil 5. ‘Desperate Escape’ was okay, with some truly ferocious combat, but it felt really light on story and character – a missed opportunity for Jill and Josh both really.

"Lost In Nightmares’ however… now that’s what I’m talking about! A proper old time RE survival horror feel, and proof that Capcom can still do survival horror when they want to – they just sadly don’t seem to want to do it anymore. But on this evidence, I can’t understand why not, because whilst very short, LIN is everything that old RE fans have been pining for. I felt genuinely tense throughout (and I almost jumped out of my skin when that dead body landed on my character!)

Please, please go back to making RE games like this, Capcom! I’ll pay any price!

Because they’re angry about the server disruptions and trouble people having logging in. The game has done very well, beyond SE’s initial expectations and thus, they need to create more servers to handle the demand (which the upcoming 12 hour maintenance today/tomorrow will introduce). Because of this, the American players who agreed with that post on the FFXIV forums are doing it deliberately to make JP (and others who play on JP servers) players suffer like they are.

Tales of Xilia (who comes up with these names – doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, does it?)

Its pretty good and whilst obviously rushed in some regards, its better than Tales of Graces in all the areas that really matter to me (i.e characters, tone and story – though the story still isn’t that great, its just better better than the one from Graces). Its better written overall than Graces (far less meledrama), and its darker and more sober to boot, which suits me just fine.

But yeah, there’s a *lot* of reused environments, enemies etc, and the combat system is extremely basic compared to Graces’ excellent system. Like all the Tales games, it makes terrible use of its main plot and villains for the most part. Huge, huge swathes of game will go by, with little to no appearances from any major villains, and with absolutely no progress made on any kind of larger plot at all. Just lots of wandering the wilderness, much back and forth between identical ports, and a whole load of completely secondary quests and plotlines.

So basically, its a Tales game, with everything that implies. A bit dodgy in most of its technical aspects and systems maybe, but the characters and darker tone interest me, and Graces didn’t manage to do that. So in my book, its a better game and one of the better JRPGs of recent times.

Its a real shame that Cing went under, because this and Hotel Dusk are some of the best written games I’ve ever played. The characterization and attention to detail are exceptional. Quite frankly the games put most video game writing to shame – if only more game developers got the message that hiring people who actually can write, makes for a better quality product.

Yeah, I enjoyed Army of Two, as well. I remember the villain had some very inventive insults that he was throwing near the end, that had me howling with laughter. Plus, it was just kind of neat to see the characters just be 2 regular Mercenary guys who were fightin’ for the pay. No judgement on them or any ‘War is Hell’ kind of stuff, just ‘Its a job, it brings in the cash, and we’re good at it, so why not?’

Plus, its watching them do air guitar at the start of levels. That shit really endeared them to me.

I just meant the main story without doing much extra. I usually do the main stories first, then get extras after if I really like the game. It just seemed very short compared to Origins. This one has a lot more stuff to collect and hidden levels though. I do plan on getting all that stuff and beating the hidden levels too if I can.

Well, in preparation for Ace Attorney 5 later in the month, I finally gave in and bought a 3DS. It was a more complicated process than I thought (3DS, 3DS XL and… 2DS?! Wha… which… hmm). I eventually settled on the 3DS XL, (pretty much solely because as it has a larger screen), and was then hit with the bombshell that it didn’t come with an AC charger. I mean… why not? How are you supposed to charge it up without one of those – the power of prayer?! And of course, the shop didn’t have any, so I had to look around town until I found somewhere that had them.

Grr – but its all sorted now. The backwards compatibility with the DS is very welcome, as is the big screen. Suppose I should have a look at what games are on this thing, then…

Are your trophies still available online? I assume that DLC would be also. I think that they should be accessible even with PS4 if they’re online.

Hey Tanis.

Yeah, its been a really dark day alright – I was absolutely *devastated* when it happened. I was watching an episode of Doctor Who on my console, when the power just cut out completely and the system turned itself off. I was disturbed of course, but I figured it must be a power surge or some other random crash. But no, it was Yellow Light of Doom time.

Cue abject despair.

I know my DLC purchases are safe, but without a console to play them on, its still money spent for product that I can’t currently use. Not without splashing out for a new console (or repair, but I’d probably rather get a new console than fix up a beaten down old one – my PS3 is over 5 years old at least). I’m not sure about the trophies – I am on PSN, but I don’t know if that automatically saves your trophies, or if you had to do something to save them (I know basically nothing about Xbox LIVE and PSN, even after all these years, as I don’t use them for anything -at all- outside of DLC purchases/game downloads).

Because I’m a real card carrying technophobe – just managing to post on websites is like an act of supreme sorcery to me! I love video games, but I really, *really* don’t like or understand technology itself. I’m probably the only person left on this planet, who doesn’t own a mobile phone! So the idea of me playing amateur mechanic… it’ll never happen. Thanks for telling me though – don’t mistake my technical ineptitude for a lack of gratitude.

Hey there Vrykolas.

It brings a few tears to my eyes, reading what happened to you, and how it happened out of the blue, as well as how it affected you.
It’s difficult to imagine what would happen and what I’d do if it were to befall me.

Ah yes, I understand where you’re coming from there. Usually, whenever you check your PSN profile or trophy list in online mode through your PS3, and you have any trophy list that has been updated in any way, then it’ll synchronise the trophies. You can go to PSNProfiles (http://psnprofiles.com/) and enter your PSN there, and whatever trophies show up there are the trophies that are saved on your PSN (the recently added trophy-privacy feature can affect their visibility, although that is off by default). Lost trophies that aren’t on PSN, and also lost save data, can still be recovered and also backed up, although it would have to be through repairing the console, which depends on whether you’d be willing to do that.

Ah right, that’s fair enough and understandable. In the past, I myself have oft just made things worse when trying to fix something to do with hardware, although it’s the other way around for software. On mobile phones, all I have is a Nokia E71, and I never use it, or just once in a blue moon – it sits in its original box all day every day xD I find mobile phones useless for myself. You’re welcome mate ๐Ÿ™‚


Vrykolas

Just thinking about all that lost data, all that lost time… a whole generation’s worth of effort and toil. Gone literally in the blink of an eye. But all is not quite lost (its just mostly lost). I used that link to the PSNProfiles page – and after some fiddling about with my Vita, I managed to get it to work – and my trophies at least are safe and sound. At this point, I broke into hysterical cackling ‘Sultan Jafar claims the Lamp from Aladdin’ laughter – my treasures are safe!!!

Which doesn’t bring back my saved data, but its more than good enough for me. Just the peace of mind alone (well, after I stop laughing with insane triumph anyway) has been a weight lifted. Your link to that Profiles page was the promise of hope that I needed to muster my courage. Passwords, account histories, codes… brrr.

But its done now, and I am in your debt Tanis, my good man (or woman). May your every fantasy be not final, and may reaching your final happiness be not merely a fantasy! ๐Ÿ˜€

Or is that only for us PSN+ members?

Just thinking about all that lost data, all that lost time… a whole generation’s worth of effort and toil. Gone literally in the blink of an eye. But all is not quite lost (its just mostly lost). I used that link to the PSNProfiles page – and after some fiddling about with my Vita, I managed to get it to work – and my trophies at least are safe and sound. At this point, I broke into hysterical cackling ‘Sultan Jafar claims the Lamp from Aladdin’ laughter – my treasures are safe!!!

Which doesn’t bring back my saved data, but its more than good enough for me. Just the peace of mind alone (well, after I stop laughing with insane triumph anyway) has been a weight lifted. Your link to that Profiles page was the promise of hope that I needed to muster my courage. Passwords, account histories, codes… brrr.

But its done now, and I am in your debt Tanis, my good man (or woman). May your every fantasy be not final, and may reaching your final happiness be not merely a fantasy! ๐Ÿ˜€

To lose so much precious data, is a sad thing, although that your trophies are at least safe and sound, is quite comforting to hear ๐Ÿ™‚
Aw, thank you, Vrykolas, and right back at you too ๐Ÿ˜€

@Tanis
That’s true, it is restricted to PS+ users only, and whether the saves are automatically uploaded would also depend on the settings. Although, if you ever uploaded a save to PS+, and then your PS+ expired, then your saves will remain in their storage for a period of 6 months before being deleted, as I’ve heard. I think that PS+ is the only way to (non-hackingly) backup copy-protected saves, and the only other option, which is the "Data Transfer Utility", transfers them to another PS3.


Vrykolas
10-18-2013, 07:05 PM
No idea about my saves. Its beyond the ken of a mortal man like me to know such things. Seriously though, I don’t know. I’ve heard of ‘The Cloud’. I think I have a rudimentary understanding of what it is, but I’ve never investigated beyond that. (Although reading that description of how it works by Tails, it seems my saves will be gone forever… Is that a violin I can hear playing somewhere?’

But never mind. As I say, I’m not too bothered, now that I know my trophies are safe. That was the big issue – because if I’d lost them, it would have made a whole generation’s worth of gaming on that console feel redundant. I don’t play exclusively for trophies, but in games I like, I usually like to put in the extra hours to mop up the trophies, and give myself an excuse to play those games some more. And I guess, it would be like losing a treasured photo album or something like that.

Wait… a second… Ah!

I’ve just noticed that there is a ‘Tanis’ and a ‘Tails’ that I’m speaking to here. That’s got me really mixed up! It appears that I’ve committed yet another technological blunder – hopefully it should be obvious where my praise was intended to go! And it appears to have reached the ears of the intended receiver (Tails), despite my error. So, sorry about that.

Yours sincerely,
Wyrkolaz.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Mirror of Fate (now there’s a well thought out title…)

Being a portable game, this is more of a traditional Metroidvania kind of game than the original Lords of Shadow. Its a bit subdued and it feels… I don’t know, just a bit drab really. There’s a really sullen, joyless mood about the game, which might be appropriate, but its kind of off putting as well. But its had its moments so far, and at least it feels like a proper Castlevania game.

Oh, and I finished Fire Emblem: Awakening. It got better, but it never really kicked into second gear for me. It kept feeling like it was going to open up and be a much more interesting and involved game at any moment, yet never quite got there.

Just finished Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask after letting it sit for months. Put in The Last Specter for some bonus content and noticed a few unfinished puzzles so I took care of them.

Then put in The Unwound Future to see if there was anything unfinished and noticed a second saved game. At some point I must have decided to replay it on a new save file so now I’m playing that.

But I may also start Monster Tale. Played a bit of it when I first purchased it and really enjoyed it. The gameplay reminded me of the NDS Castlevania games.

I was considering buying Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask (Mask of Miracle sounded way cooler IMO), but I think I’ll just wait for Azran Legacy, then buy both and marathon them over the christmas period.

Oh, and I just downloaded Ace Attorney 5. The new look and voice acting takes some getting used to. Too early to say anything much (I haven’t even finished the first case yet), but there are reasons to be hopeful and reasons to be wary at the moment. About all I can is that its… different.

Dead Money is a pretty cool expansion for New Vegas. Kind of an experimental, survival horrorish vibe. Has one of my favourite Fallout characters in it too – Dean Domino, aka The Biggest Jerk Ever.

Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn and Mass Effect 3 on PS3

How are they? any fun? I heard bad things about ME3, like the ending being absolutely terrible.


Darth Revan
10-27-2013, 10:59 PM
How are they? any fun? I heard bad things about ME3, like the ending being absolutely terrible.

Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn is a fun game and thoroughly enjoying myself with it. Being able to create your own character and journey in a FF game is pretty fun and you make friends with a lot of people as it’s a MMO.

Mass Effect 3… I’ve had many a discussion about this with fellow forum members (mainly Vrykolas), and 99% of the game is great, especially the Citadel dlc. However the originally released ending wasn’t well received at all… even some have said that the Extended Cut Ending which gives another ending, was just a ‘bandage’ on a weeping wound. Personally, I didn’t like either of the new endings, but I never bothered with the whole ‘Retake ME3’ movement which sprung up.

However, I do wish BioWare did keep their promise of 16 different endings, taking into account ALL of your decisions from the three ME games helping to determine which ending you get. Hell… the original script for ME3 was leaked in November 2011, 5 months before ME3’s release… so Casey Hudson and Mac Walters came up with what they call a ‘Artistic and Philosophical’ ending. Others call it a weak ass bullshit ending.

Myself… honestly, don’t care. I treat the Citadel DLC ending as THE ending of ME3… even working on my own ME fanfic and while it isn’t a ‘official ending’… it’ll be one which’ll be satisfactory for me.


Vrykolas
10-29-2013, 01:27 AM
And I still maintain that ME3 is absolutely not 99% fine. But neither is it a bad game. For the record, my opinion of the series is:

Mass Effect 1.
Awesome, and still the best. Has a different tone to the other 2, being a hard sci-fi game, instead of the pulpy ‘Adventures in Space’ that the other 2 became. Being hard sci-fi, it is the most realistic of the 3, and deals with some interesting concepts of xenophobia and discrimination that the other games dropped almost completely (because it made people uncomfortable). Also the only game to properly address the idea of religion (human religion anyway -alien religion is fine, because it isn’t real and doesn’t get you in trouble with anyone) and tested the boundaries on whether you should be allowed to show sex in games, both of which the other games again dropped in order to play it safer. It isn’t the prettiest or the smoothest handling, but it is the deepest and most convincing game of the series. The others go too far in their power trip ‘You’re an intergalactic space spy!’ wish fulfillment. Basically, just listen to the naive gushing of a callow young crew member you meet right at the start of ME1 (who dies very shortly after, when real life kicks in), and you’ll know the ways in which the series later went wrong (or at least how it changed anyway).

Mass Effect 2
Going purely on production values and accessibility, this is the best made game of the three, and the most polished and complete experience. A more comic book adventure feel than the first game, it almost completely abandons the core story, in favour of a tenuously related (though still fun in its own right) alien abductions story. Its a very fun ‘Dirty Dozen of Assembled Avengers led by James Bond in Space’ experience, but it is very, very different to ME1. Also handles the continuity of choices and well, continuity in general from the first game’s universe, very badly. Also feels very ‘safe’, as all the traces of xenophobia are essentially written out and/or glossed over (Turians and Humans seem absolutely fine with each other all of a sudden, the more xenophobic characters are kicked to the kerb, such as Executor Pallin who isn’t in 2 and is confirmed dead in 3, Pressly is killed in the intro, Ashley has 1 small cameo and a fairly small role in 3 as well, Terra Firma are never mentioned again as far as I can remember, and despite Cerberus supposedly being pro-human, there are no examples of anti-alien behaviour from them in either 2 or 3). There are reasons for this, but it adds up to Bioware and EA airbrushing important issues out of the series, to appease censors and widen the game’s appeal. The game also tones down the sex and violence, which was never gratuitous and had artistic merit.

Mass Effect 3
An okayish final installment, that felt very rushed to me. Straddles an uncomfortable line of not having many places to explore or quests to do (there is only 1 hub area and only 3 proper side quests in the whole game if you don’t buy DLC – the rest of it being the multiplayer maps repurposed to be quick ‘Kill the enemies for a while’ XP exercises), and still managing to feel so business as usual, that it feels like the huge galaxy consuming war isn’t actually happening at all. Shepard is relentlessly shilled as the greatest person ever at everything, and can solve any and all galactic problems in just a few hours. Add in that after all the hype and build up, the Reapers are uncharismatic and incredibly boring enemies, and the infamously bad ending… And yet, its still a fairly good game, and all these downsides are things I never expected the game to get right anyway. Best summed up as ‘It’ll do’.

So in short, the series could have stopped at ME1, and I’d have been just as happy. Better yet, it could have continued the series in the same manner, and made proper sequels. I’m not begrudging people the right to own and play the sequels, and ME2 is a great game that absolutely should exist. But by ME3, the main story is a joke that doesn’t matter anymore, and definitely wasn’t executed well.

Not exactly playing, but I watched some Youtube translation of Ace Attorney Investigations 2. Fair play to the guy for translating the whole thing, even to the point of examining everything and presenting evidence to get all the passive reactions and banter. As for the game… it was okay. The first 2 cases are excellent, but the last 3 were a bit disappointing.

As for my own Ace Attorney playing, I finished Dual Destinies (a while ago now actually). It was really fun and was probably the most consistently exciting and enjoyable of the series, but that came at quite a heavy price in terms of emotional depth. It has its moments, but it felt much more shallow than the earlier games. I had a great time with it (particularly cases 1, 3 and 4), but I hope any future AA games will have a little more ‘meat on the bone’ in terms of story and powerful emotion. Because this one was just a little too lightweight in its tone for my liking. I wasn’t much for the new prosecutor either – he’s not bad, but he’s no Edgeworth or Godot.

Been on a Platinum Games kick. Just got through playing Vanquish on Hard (that last fight was no joke, I tell you…) and what an awesome game it was. I remembered liking it, but its just superb, raging action from start to finish. Its criminal that this game wasn’t a hit.

So after that, I moved onto Bayonetta. Another great action game, but I find it really hard to care about the character of Bayonetta herself. Still, it really is an excellent beat em up, and I love the look of the enemies in this game. Just wish there was an alternative to playing as Bayonetta really – I wouldn’t mind playing through as Luka, grappling hooking my way about…

And after that, I’ll probably throw on Metal Gear: Revengeance. I’m not a Metal Gear Solid fan, and I really don’t care about that universe really, but to my great surprise, Revengeance is one of my favourite games of this year. It might be controversial to say so, but I prefer Raidan to Solid Snake as a hero. I’m not a sneaking, stealthy kind of guy – I’m a full blooded action kind of fellow! And the whole child soldier, killer persona inside Raidan is very interesting – although Quinton Flynn’s voice acting is distractingly awful. Looking forward to playing it again though.


DoDoRay9000
11-17-2013, 05:01 AM
His voice acting’s very good in MGS 2, MGS 3 Substance, and MGS 4. I never really understood why his voice acting(and the rest of the cast)in Revengeance was criticized, personally. Usually, you have to blame the voice director for not giving them proper direction.

As for Bayonetta, I loved her personality, despite not having a whole lot of backstory.

Finally got back to Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer after waiting for the problems with Xbox Live to go away. I don’t know what’s going on with Microsoft’s servers.

Edit: Aaand, just when I was about to get on, I get disconnected.


Vrykolas
11-17-2013, 05:26 AM
He’s alright when he’s just his usual self, but when he goes into the ‘Ripper’ persona, it sounds really bad IMO. Which is a shame, because its a very interesting idea, and the story does some pretty bold things with it (how many heroes resolve a hostage situation with a child, by cutting through the kid to kill the kidnapper? He is sorry for doing it, and makes amends, but damn… that’s one hardcore hero).

As for Bayonetta, I don’t exactly *dislike* her, but I find it really hard to engage with characters who seem so utterly invincible all the time. The game itself is pretty tough at times (for me anyway), but in the cutscenes, I rarely ever felt like Bayonetta was ever even remotely in any actual danger, or was even slightly worried about what was happening (compared to the gamer, who’s probably sweating bullets when the various enormous bosses show up). Characters like her and Dante from Devil May Cry just kind of bore me – I prefer a more fallible hero, who doesn’t also land perfectly on their feet after a million foot dive, or who actually feels tired and hurt after taking a beating or being in a demanding fight.

Whereas characters like Dante and Bayonetta just shrug off a punishing encounter mostly all the time, someone like Sam from Vanquish will lie on the floor where he was just thrown violently by a massive explosion, and will take a few moments to get his breath back, and even light up a cigarette to just take some time out. Stuff like that humanises characters, and makes seem less like unstoppable, video game gods who cannot fail.

Finished Bayonetta and it was nowhere near as hard as I remembered (though not an easy game by any means). I still got lots of stone trophies (i.e the lowest rank), but I did much better than the last time I played. I’d like to think its because of me getting better at the game by learning how to play it properly, and not because I was just totally, utterly rubbish the first time.

Taking a bit of a breather before I dive into Revengeance. Vanquish and Bayonetta back to back is a seriously draining (but fun) experience. Too much time spent playing laid back RPGs at a gentle pace, I suppose. I feel like I should be warming up with a jog before playing games like these!

Blazed my way through Revengeance. Its a bit simplistic (linear levels, parry and counter being your only real combat move), but its still a very fine game indeed. If I remember rightly, Platinum were only called in late in the development when Kojima realized he knew nothing about making action games, so I guess that explains a lot. Still a highly entertaining game that whilst short, is long enough to satisfy your actions needs, without wearing out its welcome. The story is mercifully free of hour long cutscenes too, and the story manages to be engaging without going on forever and ever and ever.

And that last boss fight was something else… I thought I’d won when I took down the Metal Gear, but then the Senator turns out to be from the Mike Hagger school of politics (i.e a massively muscle bound powerhouse brute of a man). Actually it was like fighting Mike Hagger on rage pills, and I took a sensational pounding. Finally managed to loosen up and relax enough to play properly, and managed to do it quite easily in the end. Final boss nerves – the bane of gamers everywhere…

But yeah, Platinum Games – they sure do make them some mighty fine action games.

Now I want to play the entire trilogy for the 3rd time lol, but not too soon. I’ll get to them on harder difficulties.

Blazed my way through Revengeance. Its a bit simplistic (linear levels, parry and counter being your only real combat move), but its still a very fine game indeed. If I remember rightly, Platinum were only called in late in the development when Kojima realized he knew nothing about making action games, so I guess that explains a lot. Still a highly entertaining game that whilst short, is long enough to satisfy your actions needs, without wearing out its welcome. The story is mercifully free of hour long cutscenes too, and the story manages to be engaging without going on forever and ever and ever.

And that last boss fight was something else… I thought I’d won when I took down the Metal Gear, but then the Senator turns out to be from the Mike Hagger school of politics (i.e a massively muscle bound powerhouse brute of a man). Actually it was like fighting Mike Hagger on rage pills, and I took a sensational pounding. Finally managed to loosen up and relax enough to play properly, and managed to do it quite easily in the end. Final boss nerves – the bane of gamers everywhere…

But yeah, Platinum Games – they sure do make them some mighty fine action games.
Now get S rank on all chapters on Revengeance mode! It’s not as hard as one might think. ๐Ÿ™‚

Hah, well you can forget that! ๐Ÿ˜€

I’ve never been one for trying to get S ranks in games like this. It usually means you have to rush through levels, wasting absolutely no time, and only ever executing the perfect move for the situation to avoid taking any damage at all etc etc. Which is all fine and well for those that want to, but for me that kind of playing feels really lifeless and boils the game down to simple score attack.

If it was the ‘olden days’ and I was playing in my local sweaty arcades for the privilege of having your initials at the top of the scoreboard on the big coin-op of the day, then sure I was as game as anyone to give things like this a go (you’re talking to a *God* of Sunset Riders!). But at home, I just think ‘What’s the point?’ Just so I can get an achievement?

Don’t get me wrong – I’ve been known to go out of my way for some achievements, but I usually draw the line at Insanity/Legendary/Non-Stop Infinity Climax modes. Its just too much effort, playing in a way I don’t enjoy, for no real reward worth having IMO.

Dynasty Warriors 8

Finally back on the Xbox, but as soon as I finish with as much as possible of that it’s back on the PS3 to play Dynasty Warriors 7.

I like 8’s replacement for Conquest Mode I’m almost done with that building thingy. I also like the fact they upgraded the Ally system to include NPC officers (though you can’t take them in battle with you).

Really fun though, and a nice soundtrack. Started playing Hoard again with a friend, so I’m going to get the last trophy for it, as well as finish Resident Evil 5 DLC on Professional.

I have advice for those who play…in ambition mode save after every battle (getting the animals and achievements for certain number of battles)…just in case one either battles or loads into a white screen of nothingness. It happened to me twice so far. I wish they’d patch that gosh darn white screen of nothing…it’s annoying.

On a positive note: I got the building thingy in ambition mode done. To get a gold star weapon and gold panda and that darned achievement.

Metro: Last Light.
A game that really feels Russian, in that its incredibly bleak. Seriously, this is one world that you would not want to live in – fortunate, considering that if you were a citizen of Metro, you probably wouldn’t live for very long anyway. Between lethal radiation preventing anyone from going to the surface, mutants creatures trying to eat them and the fact that they’re trapped in a community which features both the Nazis *and* the Communists… I don’t know what the Russian word for ‘totally screwed’ is, but I imagine it gets used a whole lot.

Fortunately though, I like bleak. And it isn’t a case of everyone in the world being horrible villains. Mostly, the people are a pretty decent who help each other out, so the game actually ends up feeling strangely uplifting at times. These people are about as screwed as you could possibly be, but they carry on anyway. I guess Russians are used to this sort of thing, with all the tyrants they’ve had over the years. So basically its a mix of ‘Life’s cheap’ with ‘Life find a way, through thick and thin’.

The game itself… is okay. The gunplay is nothing to write home about, and the survival mechanics are adequate but not too involved really. There is some stealth (lots of it actually), but its really easy and you don’t *have* to do it, if you’d rather just cut loose. The gameplay and story rarely rise above ‘acceptable’, but the unique Russian feel and atmosphere makes up for it. Its pretty much the definition of ‘Its better than it sounds’. Its just a shooter, but its a Russian shooter, and that somehow makes it more interesting.

Saints Row 4: Enter the Dominatrix…

… waste of $10AUSD for the Season Pass imo. The content made absolutely no sense whatsoever and when compared to similar DLC in Saints Row 2 (even the three for Saints Row The Third actually had some merit as they tied in to the main story), completely weak and lacklustre. I have little hope that the second (and thankfully FINAL) DLC for Saints Row 4, entitled "How the Saints Saved Christmas" will do anything at all to make me think this game is worth being apart of the Saints Row series. Find out on December 11th… and that’s only IF Australia gets it at the same time as the rest of the world.

Beat Super Mario 3D World… twice actually heh. It is an awesome game, definitely one of my favorite Mario games ever, but it’s also one of the easiest unfortunately. I collected everything and beat all levels with all 5 characters and some levels are way too short. It’s awesome to see Super Mario Bros. 2 back in the 21st century though, and it has the best music ever made in a Mario game and has the most variety in levels and playable characters for sure. Couldn’t have made a better sequel to 3D Land.

Finished Ducktales on Extreme, which wasn’t very extreme at all. The hardest part was finishing the game without it freezing, resulting in having to restart from the beginning.
Also finished both Resident Evil 5 DLC on Professional. Lost in Nightmares was really easy, but my god, Desperate Escape was the real nightmare. I think I had to replay the last part on the roof at least 100 times due to the AI either dying, or not helping at all. Sadly I can’t shoot in front of me and behind me at the same time. Worst. AI.

If only my friend actually played the games he bought on PS3, instead of being hooked on Dust 514 all day long. Bastard.

Played Terraria for about 100 hours, mostly building stuff, so I haven’t done all trophies etc., but I’m taking a break from it for a bit to go trough some of my backlog. I will probably continue playing again when my friend actually starts the game for once.
Finished Atelier Rorona once and got the pie master ending, and I can’t say I understand the complaints I’ve heard about the time limit.
I just started playing "New Atelier Rorona: A New Beginning" now, on Japanese, so it’s gonna take a while with having to translate everything. Luckily it doesn’t seem to have too complicated language so I’m slowly making it through. I really enjoyed the first one, so this should be even better from what I’ve read.

Another run at good ol’ KotOR

I’ve been needing to get around to that since I bought the PC versions of the kotor series via Steam a long time ago(I’ve given my xbox copies to my cousin a few years ago). The only thing that bugs me about the PC versions is that the voice quality is a bit lower while the xbox versions had crystal clear voice quality. Maybe it’s because the PC versions were on CDs and Bioware had to reduce the quality in order to get them to fit on the CDs? I could be wrong.

Back when it was priced 19.99 it was definitely not worth it. But now you can get it much cheaper (I think 5$ on steam, but not sure). And yes you can finish it in 2 minutes but you won’t know most of the story the game tells. But that’s where the problem is. The story is very clique, so half though the game it’s very easy to guess what the ending will be and that’s just one of the few games flaws.

Actually I do have a pretty busy and fulfilling life style. Besides, if I want to go for one last achievement, then what business is it of yours to criticize my decision? How is it affecting you? It isn’t.

For the record, the PS3 copy was given to me as a gift from some one dear to me… and I wasn’t going to offend her by saying "Oh, that? Sorry, I already got that on another console, so bad choice of gift there. How about asking me what I want first?"

What gets me is that Nightmare Mode on Dragon Age 2 has no Achievement for completion! They went to the trouble of putting in an extra, extra, extra hard mode with all kinds of new rules and stipulations… and then gave you no incentive at all to want to do it! I like a challenge, but I do want at least *some* reward at the end! Good luck on that ME2 Achievement. It was too much for me the only time I tried it. Maybe you’ll succeed where I failed!

As for buying multiple copies of a game across different systems… (Shrugs). People do it, and more than you might think. It might sound crazy and the sport of people who have more money than sense, too much time on their hands etc etc. But people do it. I’ve done it, and I couldn’t even really tell you why. The best I can come up with is that some games are so close to your heart that you want to play them again and again. But its easier to do this if you know you’re going to get at least some new reward for it. So having a new copy on a different systems opens up the potential to start again and have a whole new experience with it. For example, say you had all the Achievements on Skyrim (a hypothetical example, my views of that game being well known). You want to play it again with a new character, take a different approach, try new things etc. But you know that hundreds of hours will be involved, and you won’t be getting any extra incentive to play, as you have all the Trophies etc. Getting a copy on a new system throws off those shackles. You can strike out on your new quest, knowing that all the rewards are back on the table.

I know – it sounds like the kind of nonsense that sales reps enthuse falsely about, like its the most natural thing in the world to do. But paying for something you already have is bizarre, no question about it. And if you think that’s a waste of money, then fair enough. Perhaps it is, but consider that if it is giving people hundreds more hours of enjoyment, then it must be worth it, to them at least. Sure, they *could* have played it on their old system, but they probably wouldn’t, even though they wanted to – because it would feel like wasting time, whereas playing a fresh copy doesn’t.

A waste of time versus a waste of money, you say? Well I refer you back to the old definition of video gaming (that its thousands and thousands of hours of commitment and concentration, thousands and thousands of dollars spent, and all for precisely *zero* practical gain or tangible accomplishment). I don’t recommend that people make a habit of going out and buying games they already own. RPGs are pretty much the only games I would do this for. But why buy anything, if there’s nothing out that grabs your fancy, I hear you say? Why not go and do something else instead, until there are games worth playing? And its a fair point on the face of it, but its not that simple. We like the things we like. Being a fan of something often means going to what others would deem to be unreasonable lengths, and that’s true of fans of anything, not just video games. How many households have you visited over the years that have at least 4 different versions of the Star Wars Trilogy, or Indiana Jones movies? They’re the same movies, but people keep buying them. If it makes no sense to you, then you just don’t get it.

In short, we could all spend years judging each other for the crazy things we do with our time and money. But why bother? Any gamer trying to make out that they are cooler or have a better quality of life than the next guy, sounds ridiculously childish (and I’m pointing no fingers – I’m making a general point). ‘Oh, I play games sure, but not like *these* guys do…) If a person feels they’ve achieved that ‘Zen’ state of being, where they are perfectly balancing gaming with a positive, healthy social life, getting entertainment to fulfill them without wasting a penny more of your money than they need to, then bully for them. Everyone else will get on with the only thing that actually matters – enjoying themselves, in the manner in which they want to. Spending their money and their time on the things that matter to them. They don’t need anyone’s approval, and nobody can tell them its wrong.

Nor should they.

I’m in the middle of quite a few games.
My local K-Mart went out of business and had ALL video games 25% off. So I got Metal Gear Rising for $23 and BEYOND for $45.
In the 3rd chapter of RISING and 3 hours into BEYOND.
Still need to beat the Cop career in NFS:Rivals.
Need to beat the BF4 campaign now that most crashing issues on PS4 have been resolved.
Finally borrowed Halo 4 from my friends (never played it before) so I can know what’s going on when i get Halo 5 later this year.
And GHOSTS because of the Double XP weekend and the fact that my new Astro A50’s came in and they make playing SOOOOO much easier. Had a Double Helo Pilot game of KC with my clan on Whiteout. 41-1 with 40 tags.

Fortune Street – I always liked Monopoly and this game is very similar to that which I like. My only flaw is that you HAVE to play as a Mii in 1-player mode, but can play as the other characters in multiplayer. I’m glad this game was released outside of Japan, and hopefully more will be made/released cause I love it and I think it’s better than most of the recent Mario Party games.

I’m up to 77/93 Expert 5*s now after a few hours today on DJ Hero. What’s really been helping me is knowing where to activate euphoria. I play so much and it makes my shoulders and back pain and also I feel reekingly damp.
I noticed that it looks like kristoph212 puts the controller on his lap, which is interesting, and I tried it whilst sitting with my legs vertically bent because I was frustrated with the flimsiness and unstability (it happened on that tough mix Ace of Spades vs Groundhog, which barely has any Groundhog funnily… and I’m currently up to it and stuck on it badly), and it felt somewhat more comfortable and accurate (no bending back as before it was on-floor) but I couldn’t really get into it/used to it much and do better, and my arm hurt more.

EDIT (2014.02.02): I just tried recalibration for the first time in DJ Hero, because of the frustration on Ace of Spades vs Groundhog, thanks to a tip in a tips video, and I feel more accurate, despite playing on a CRT TV (I thought that recalibration was mainly for HDTVs, but the guy in the tips video said that I should do it for any TV).
Ace of Spades vs Groundhog’s Expert 5* is really stressing me out… I still don’t have it after hours of gameplay today, although the best I got was about 13000 points away *sigh*

Fatal Frame(Xbox)

Vrykolas
02-05-2014, 02:20 AM
Hell yeah – Fatal Frame 1+2 *rule*. The first game has some truly awesome sound work – really ups the scare factor, especially during the boss fights. The second game isn’t so scary IMO, but its an oddly beautiful experience. And the end sequence of Fatal Frame 2 is one of the best in any game ever.

As for me… I’m still not really playing anything. That should hopefully change soon though. From next week, there’s at least 1 game I want to buy for about 9 weeks in a row! Probably the last big glut of releases for this generation that I’ll be interested in. After that, I’ll have a hard decision to make – do I buy a new console, do I continue waiting for good games on those consoles before buying or… Its unthinkable, but I can’t deny that I really hate where modern gaming is at. Maybe its finally time to kick the habit…

Tails
02-18-2014, 02:41 PM
So I’m back to focusing on DJ Hero, and I tried again and I got my nonworking DJ Hero controller working! The batteries went flat (and I did try other batteries before, from my other controller, so that was weird) because it wouldn’t connect and always flashed red, and I used a different brand of batteries from some remote and now somewhy it’s actually connecting. Now my mind feels more at ease, because now both controllers work and I won’t have to buy another for DJ Hero 2, and I can use my preferred one as this is my preferred one.
Currently 91/93 Expert-5*s! Just Beats and Pieces remaining, and Groundhog I’m saving for last. It’s easier to pause with PS button because it’s bigger than that tiny little joke of a start button, and you still get a resume countdown. I remembered this from reading this that in the freestyle red sections, you can play 2 different effects for 100 points each (4x = 800, 8x = 1600, that’s considerable!). If you rewind to the middle of a euphoria section, then you can clear it without having to do it all, and just what’s upcoming. Using euphoria to combo in the right places is important, because not only do you get points and autocrossfades, but you can also use it to get rewinds easier in some sections of some mixes with the autocrossfading.
A tip that really helped me that I read was that you need to understand the chart. So many times I put off understanding some parts, thinking that I’ll get them ???later on??? or ???sometime???, but the game is communicating to you what it wants you to do, and you need to understand it confidently… this really helps, and you can combo in the craziest of places if you really put an effort into understanding it all. Wherever you fail, you have to try and understand that part.
Sometimes when I get stressed, I play too fast, so keep this in mind if you get stressed and are wondering why you can’t hit scratches/taps/crossfades/etc that you hit so well before.
If you get too stuck on a mix, I’d suggest to do other mixes if you have any remaining… I was stuck on Aces of Spades vs Noisia, but I just finished off other mixes and returned to it later, and I played so much better and Expert-5*ed it in a few tries (I have to chiefly thank Here’s A Little Something For Ya vs The Number Song (2009), which was fun to Expert-5* and really improved my scratching and my eye-hand co???rdination thereupon), and if you get stuck on the game, take a break I’d suggest because a clear mind has helped me improve so much. It’s also motivating, and helpful, to read/watch/hear/etc others’ experiences/advice/etc.
It also helps to have a stable DJ controller… I’ve always been on a wood-panel floor, and sometimes it can slide slightly, so I adjusted the TV and my body and sometimes the controller, but I can get it firm also, but for Expert-5*ing Rockit (which was fun, and moderately challenging… rewinds and euphoria and comboing was fairly easy/medium and is what matters), I started putting it on a pillow (with a rough cover) on my crossed-legs sittingly because it was always sliding on the floor with the hecticness therein.
I heard some complaints about synchronisation in Monkey Wrench vs Sabotage – according to Kristoph212, it’s actually that the overscratching is oversensitive… so I tried hitting the scratches that had gaps separately like Kristoph212 did, and that worked well and I even got the euphoria sections (I don’t know why the game always lags a bit on the first section, other mixes have similar problem) and Expert-5*ed it in a few tries. With euphoria, I recommend using one bar for the intensest spikes section – that is the most confusing section, which is right after the tapping section (don’t use euphoria there. You need to save it for this.) and you can streak right through that with an 8x multiplier on top. BTW The PS3 chart is unique as some of the generic scratches are instead directional scratches (says so in Kristoph212’s FC video hereof). I think that other mixes may have this, or at least Kristoph212’s Beats and Pieces video says that Beats and Pieces also has one on the PS3, so this game is (very slightly) harder on PS3.
Oh yes, I saw Kristoph212 wearing a slick Sonic-shirt in one video – that’s awesome ๐Ÿ˜€

I’ve Expert 5*-ed Beats & Pieces today! It took a quite a few hours today, with some familiarisation and practice runs from yesterday, and I was really tired and soooo glad when I did it. This is the hardest mix to Expert-5* in DJ Hero.
Here are my notes from my general gameplay:
Don’t necessarily restart a song if you fail at the start. Unless you’re confident that you can get 5* if you restart, you can still play onwards and practise getting better at the later bits, which will help you and it’s also less stressful to not restart. Unless you’re confident in your ability to 5* by now, it helps to practise the latter bits stress-free.
For me sitting legs-crossed can hurt after a while, so I switch my position (e.g. sometimes on controller on blanket instead, or sometimes vertically bent legs with a space in between, etc), but I always do that when gaming even if not DJ Hero anyway.
As with any game, it’s annoying when you’re doing so good that your heart races and it gets distracting. At this point just ???believe??? that you can focus and that seems to help.
When scratching intensely, there may be a possibility you can get something like an ingrown fingernail… I had to bite my nail and skin to assuage it somewhat, but it still hurt but it got better after a while… well, for me it just got number as I replayed Beats & Pieces that I didn’t even notice it anymore xD
If you rewind, really try to keep comboing, because if you don’t you lose the double multiplier, so keep this in mind when rewinding.
The FX dial is important, because not only do you get more points, but it doubles your multiplier. In some sections it might be too hectic to use it, but where you can use it, try to.
Here are my notes for Beats & Pieces:
For Beats & Pieces, I recommend watching this video to get an idea of what you have to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-Zp8yI9APM
You have to practise getting as many rewinds and euphoria, and you really have to combo combo combo. This is especially important at the start and the repeating scratch-pattern sections, but also still matters as the mix progresses, until the end with huge long scratches like <-><>->-><>->-><> where you just have to try and survive and get as many as you can. It really helps to practice everything so that you know what to do and can combo it (and really do try to understand the scratch patterns in every part) except for the last part. Try to improve wherever you are failing and understand how before the final section. When you really want to 5*, you’ll want to combo as much as you can at the start, and the repeating scratch-patterns part, and get many rewinds and euphoria. Save the first euphoria section that you get for the green scratches section.
Since Beats & Pieces is really tiring, when I got really tired after each full attempt I layed down to clear my mind and rest for about a minute or so.
I was usually getting scores around the 320k-360k near the end and once I got 380k, but when I made it, I did so well a run that I got 431848 points. For reference, you need 388k points for Expert-5*.

I finally gave in and bought a new PS3. The slew of sequels out soon to games I only have on PS3 kind of tipped it (Lords of Shadow 2, Dark Souls 2, Lightning Returns etc etc). And whilst these games don’t *need* to be played on the same machine, I don’t like crossing over consoles mid franchise if I can help it (I played all the RE games recently, and that was a nightmare of pulling out old consoles and portables for one game, before having to repack them all and get another one out etc etc). I much prefer to have all installments of a franchise on one console or one brand of consoles. Just feels tidier and more consistent.

Plus I had a huge stack of games that I couldn’t play, so I gritted my teeth, braced for the inevitable ‘Don’t you mean PS4, Sir?’ hard sell from the store clerks and paid up. The new(er) PS3 is much smaller and has some kind of top loading thing going on. Much prefer it to the old version and it takes up less space, although I was quite annoyed when the new controller’s battery broke (not ran out- it actually is broken) after just five days! Not to worry though – I still had my old controller, and it works just fine.

So yes, I’m back up and running again at last. Checked my trophies properly, and saw I’d lost basically everything from late 2011 onwards. Given that I barely bought any PS3 games (or any games full stop) last year, it could certainly have been worse, I suppose. Does mean I’ve lost all my Tomb Raider, X-COM and Dark Souls trophies, which I’m kind of deflated about. Also lost my Final Fantasy 13-2 trophies, but I soon sorted that out – Platinum Trophy obtained! Oh yeah, great way to christen a new console!

Other than that, I’m taking a bit of a breather. Bought Lightning Returns, but haven’t played it yet. After nearly 2 weeks on 13-2, I don’t really want to jump straight back into another huge RPG. The body has limits, you know? So I’m waiting for Lords of Shadow 2, to get a bit of an action hit first. I’ve heard some ominous things, but I really enjoyed Mirror of Fate on the 3DS and that was panned too. So… fingers crossed (or maybe not… Dracula and crosses…hmm).

Congrats on getting a PS3 again. It really sucks that you lost some trophies though… I’ve had that happen, and it’s disheartening – once when it happened on one game, I restarted it immediately and got it done again, thankfully the game was easy and quick, but on another game I had a glitch, and I was discouraged for years, and the game was harder and longer, and only now have I regained the courage to perhaps try it again.
Sometimes when you buy a new system, and play an old game on it with trophies that have been synced from your online account to the system, the trophies will reset to 0% locally when you install the trophy list (happens on first startup of game in local PS3 account), but syncing again will reflect the percentage that is on your online profile.

#58 DJ Hero (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP2VbraMhnE). I’ve done it!

Final notes on my finishing experience (sorry for all the walls of text, this time I’ve spoilered):

Ugh! I had some serious recording problems with this that delayed me by quite a few hours. I tried many different wires and splitters at different points and thought of solutions, but in the end what worked was using a TV output instead of splitters (whereof all I’d bought from cheap shops… *raises eyebrow*). My current TV had a video output on top of an audio output, but I didn’t realise until later, and now I’m using our kitchen TV and we swapped the TVs, and I’m sticking with this one because it supports stereo (and the screen-size is only very slightly smaller, from 35cm to like 33cm/34cm). It’s like a blessing, because using this TV output is more convient and less messy… well, thanks be to God, that all worked out. This new TV has a more curved design and is somewhat bigger, whilst the other had an edgy design… so this looks worse and it’s harder to stack things atop, but I’ll acclimate. Also it has an inbuilt redundant DVD player, which used to be an old gimmick for TVs. The funny thing was, that I’ve had this problem for some time when using all of my splitters (you can’t play on the recording preview, as DJ Hero’s gameplay’s too fast), but it started out of nowhere originally (at first, it was counteractable by fiddling around with the splitters, but that didn’t work), and before it worked fine with this exact setup. The video editing went alright, eventually that is, as I had two different ???problems??? trying to run two video editing software that I use, so I tried another one, which was Blender, and it was a bit of a pain to learn, but it’s decent for basic video editing.
Before starting a session of playing DJ Hero… drink a glass or few of water. Be careful of eating food though… I felt emetic at one point in repeating Beats & Pieces, but I just burped several times and thankfully never had to emesise. When I Expert-5*ed Beats and Pieces… my body was so shaky, and my arms didn’t feel much like they were there, and my voice remained very light – even into the next day my shoulder and arm muscles had a little pain (that’s normal for playing DJ Hero Expert though :P), but it felt good and relief-ful because it was the pain of success.
I didn’t mention this before, because it’s more of a subconscious thing, I always had a fan running next to me… whether I’m playing DJ Hero or not, I oft have it running…. I love cold weather! Perhaps it helped, because I know that hot weather is more stressful and all that, and since DJ Hero is physically and mentally strenuous, that doesn’t seem like a good combo.
Some people say that if you hit a button whilst doing a rewind, that you lose your multiplier… actually, whilst you are rewinding, you have a safe window for mistakes, but if you mistake outside of that window, then it will count.
Groundhog is very mild of a challenge actually, you just have to get down all the simple patterns, and then rack up your multiplier to 4x and 8x as much as you can. I always use rewinds right away, even if it’s in an transition section, as you’ll keep on increasing your combo anyway therein, and you get points just for the crossfade being on.
For some reason, euphoria sometimes messes me up in parts that I do very well in – possibly because I rely on using the crossfader to help me time, or it’s confusing when to start and stop using crossfader, or I’m used to reading the chart whilst actually crossfading or seeing the colours… this is only in some sections though, so perhaps in such sections still using the crossfader could be more convenient.
DJ Hero WOULD be my new rarest platinum, but even DJ Hero’s 0.55% (today it changed to 0.56% though) is not a match for Free Realms’ skewed percentages (which are thankfully slowly rising, as more trophy hunters are playing it now). DJ Hero 2 is even rarer than DJ Hero 1 though, and I’m going for DJ Hero 2 now.

I’m playing DJ Hero 2 at the moment… already got 60% of the trophies so far. DJ Hero 2 is child’s play compared to DJ Hero 1.

Danganronpa.

Don’t let the bizarre name put you off – this is one of the best games I’ve played in ages. Its like a really good mix of Persona and Ace Attorney. Its a kind of Battle Royale kind of thing, with high school students locked into a killing game that sees you investigating murders, and engaging in class trials so the evil mastermind can punish them instead of punishing everyone. Its well written and can get pretty extreme at times, with people getting stabbed, crushed, impaled, and even stoned to death in one particularly gruesome scene. But its also got a ton of warmth and humor, and you really come to care about the characters.

Its crazy as hell, utterly compelling and exactly the reason I continue to play video games. These gems out of nowhere have been thin on the ground in recent years, but that makes each one all the sweeter. The Vita needs more games like this.

Still playing Lightning Returns…I gave up on normal mode for a while and started on an easy playthrough. I failed normal twice once on first playthrough then the 2nd one on New Game+.

Playing on easy I found what path worked best for me…focus on Luxerion first, do some side quest after I progress first part of main quest far enough, then on the next day continue on til that’s done, then move on to the next place progress that place as far as it can go in one day, do more side quests and turn in stuff for canvas quests, go back to that place on the next day finish up main quests, start on next area’s side quests (mount related), head in the main direction of main quest targets picking up/tuning in side quests at the same time…yea basically just this until day 8-9 for me.

I’m currently just killing time.

#59 DJ Hero 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmEN7lrhacg)
This game is a joke compared to DJ Hero 1. I got the platinum in 3d1h – which is the #2 fastest time (http://psnprofiles.com/100-club/427-DJ-Hero-2).
Thanks go out to OstKakan and TheGaboefects for helping with online.

#60 Medal of Honour (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcwTUTwA9SU)
First played around 2.5 years ago and did everything except I just gave up at Tier 1 mode (hard difficulty, beat the timer, squadmates won’t refill your ammo, and no checkpoints for respawning) after I beat the first mission on Tier 1 mode. It’s easier than I thought actually, and each mission took only a few tries at most, with the last one mission taking about 10-20 tries. Finished this up in a couple of days.

It feels appropriate, that I play Medal of Honour: Frontline next. I have it on-disc with MOH-LE (and it’s also a 0% on my profile since 2.5 years ago).

I accepted it, although I just already got the platinum trophy in the game with someone else’s help. I’ll leave it in case there’s future trophies I’ll need help with. ๐Ÿ™‚

Making steady progress in Lightning Returns. Strange game – feels like a spin-off, which is a odd thing to do, considering that its supposed to be the last part of the trilogy. Given how rough it looks and short it is, its clear that Square weren’t in a generous mood whilst funding this game. Still, its good fun and the combat system is great. I could really do without that stupid time limit though – that has to be the worst idea I’ve ever seen in an RPG. Punish exploration and harass players with the threat of a game over after hours and hours of work, to the point where they can’t really enjoy the game – nice one,Square…

But still, its alright. Caius gave me yet another series of sensational beatings to add to my already high tally from 13-2. Finally got the swine though.

Reached the final boss of Lightning Returns, but he’s insanely hard. Tried a whole bunch of times, and its just not happening for me.

Its not that surprising though. Not only are most of the game’s bosses extremely hard, but my engagement has been very mild with this game. It really isn’t my cup of tea – the focus is very much on the gameplay and the combat system, with the story being barely more than a handwave. That would annoy me at the best of times, but its a crazy decision here. To focus so heavily on narrative in the first 2 games, to leave countless plot threads dangling with a massive cliffhanger ending in the 2nd game, only to then almost completely ignore narrative altogether in the final game…? Beyond a handful of very short encounters with old characters, the game basically focuses entirely on a set of new narrative threads, and pays very little attention to what has gone before. And it doesn’t seem too interested in developing those new threads either, quite frankly.

It hasn’t been a total wash, and it does have many plus points (great combat as I say, good ideas for new locations and enemy types, many of the threads surrounding the old characters are very interesting and have great promise). But none of it is developed, the first impressions of a plot strand for example, almost always being gripping and engaging, but then turning out to be the high point, as said plot thread is (very) quickly resolved. The almost complete loss of narrative and world consistency with the previous games is hard to take, as is the continuing banality of Lightning as a character (not helped by Ali Hillis and her usual wooden, robotic delivery).

Basically, I’ll go out to bat for the FF13 series any day of the week. I don’t accept that its been a bad series, and I’ve really enjoyed it and am sorry to see it end. But whilst I feel the first 2 games are unfairly dismissed, this doesn’t evoke the same reaction from me. Its an okayish game on its own terms, due in large part to the combat system and customization. But as a sequel, as the closing chapter, and as a story in general, this is a very poor offering indeed. I actually skipped the last couple of cutscenes before the final boss, before the game had completely worn out its welcome with me. I’m just very disappointed with how they handled the narrative in this game, after FF13-2 which was so strong.

Same here really – I ended up watching the end sequence on Youtube!

He’s a damn nightmare, I tell you! My build has been pretty standard fare (tank role, DPS staggering role, standard melee fighter role) and that has sufficed for most of the game. Its familiar, its how I usually roll on RPGs, and there was no reason to think that there was anything wrong with that setup. I was tearing through the game for the most part, and I felt comfortable. But the final boss requires such a different approach, because its all about staggering him as quickly as humanly possible (because his stagger meter decays very fast, and he has so many annoying interrupting attacks that knock you over and stunlock you etc, thwarting your attempts to stay on him long enough to stagger him. His 4 different forms back to back, lack of checkpoints between the fights (unlike the last 2 games), the small amount of potions you can carry, and the fact that you can’t just go away and grind up some levels because that isn’t how the game works… Maddening.

I can hang with him, and survive pretty much indefinitely against most of his attacks, but its hard to damage him properly due to the staggering issue. And eventually, his occasional use of supermoves over the various forms, slowly wears out my stock of potions and EP gague points, until he finally gets me. I can get to his final form, but I’m usually on my last legs by then, and the difficulty of staggering his final form is absolutely unreal. The guide suggests using the Dragoon skills, but I’ve never been a great lover of Dragoons and their fighting style. I refuse to believe that the game has to use those powers (as they are apparently quite broken). I just don’t like the idea of having to change my fighting style to win this one fight – it feels artificial and cheap.

But the biggest crime is that it just isn’t a fun fight at all. Its a whole lot of him shrugging off your attacks, you building up big stagger chains that you eventually lose and have to start again, and lots and lots of you being knocked into the air and slowly falling, you knocked onto the ground, you caught up in lengthy combo animations, and spell effects. Not really taking damage, not really doing damage, just caught in an eternal holding pattern, trying to juggle a dozen spinning plates to get them all to spin together the right way so you can actually make some progress. The rest of the game isn’t like that at all (at least the gameplay isn’t) and it just sucks that the final boss is so annoying. Make him hard by all means, but at least make the fight a fun one (like the battles against Bartandelus and Caius in the previous games).

Was a 0% on my profile since circa 2.5yr ago, decided to get 100% now. It was hard but not too hard, and took me 4d4h46m. Polyglotism made this experience interesting.
#62 Crysis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwnM0-t1aVs)
First played 1-1.5yr ago, but gave up games for trophies then, so did it now. Lacked previous save, but only 2hr to recover progress. Easy if you just stealth/run/drive. Platinum is doable in like 12h. It felt good to do this in German – nice how they got all those languages and also for voice.
#63 uDraw Studio Instant Artist (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwdWbr0N93I)

Finally got over the finishing line in Lightning Returns. As usual, I was overthinking things – I realized that my character’s physical attacks were so strong that I was doing great damage to him even without staggering. So I gave up trying to stagger him and just put all my concentration into hitting him with regular attacks and blocking. Job done – cruised through the fight and utterly slapped him!

Good job too – failing to complete a hard JRPG just weeks before Dark Souls 2 comes out, was just what my confidence didn’t need! Still, its over now and I can bask in my victory!

Just started playing Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy. Anyone who has played a previous installment will find it familiar and easy to jump into.

Once again Layton is lured to another part of the world by his archaeology interests only to find himself in an exciting mystery. Starts off slow but as seen in the last 3DS game, they’ve added some action sequences, this time in the form of a fps shooter. It doesn’t last long but it gets the heart racing for a minute or two.

I rarely use the 3D feature but there are some beautiful environments and backgrounds where it is begged to be used.

Hey Rev, don’t write Alpha Protocol off just yet – there’s always hope! The game has some goodwill from those who played it (you and me for a start, but the game does have friends out there for the quality of its writing etc). Sega just needs some realistic expectation that it would sell.

It looks like Obsidian will have a commercial hit in South Park, and that should do their reputation a power of good. So if they can ride that momentum and rattle the cash tin in front of the right people, then who knows? Because I *really* want another Alpha Protocol game. The boss fight against Konstantine Brayko in his 80’s themed mansion is one of my highlights of the last gen!

Well… perhaps a kickstarter could be used, though I’m not really holding my breath. BioWare has the IP for Jade Empire (another game I really wanted a continuation to) and with Ray Myzuka and the other founder of BioWare having left sometime ago, that’s just gathering dust… Sega lost the IP to Shenmue earlier this year, after holding it since the second game and nothing eventuated there sadly.

… Alpha Protocol, Jade Empire and Shenmue… I would love a continuation to all three of these, as they are great games imo.

Well, Shenmue flopped utterly, so I know I’m not alone on this! Sega sunk huge amounts of cash into the game, but it tanked. The game developed a hardcore fanbase, and that was enough to get it a sequel, but that flopped too. I have many problems with Sega, but I can’t blame them for dropping Shenmue – they spent enough on it, and gave it a huge marketing push (which they didn’t do for plenty of other games they were developing or publishing (like Valkyria Chronicles, Vanquish, etc), but it still failed. What were they supposed to do – keep pumping money in, when it was clearly good money after bad? I was just one of many people who found the game world, plot and characters to be extremely boring. Some people liked it, but not nearly enough to cover the costs of making the games.

As for Jade Empire, it was made by the owners of Bioware. This was before EA took over, so the only reason they wouldn’t do another one is if they didn’t want to. Again, I can only offer anecdotal evidence for myself (everyone I know hated it for its boring characters and rock, paper, scissors combat). The best evidence is that in this industry, money talks. If Bioware were confident that the series had lots of goodwill and people chomping at the bit to buy a new installment, then they’d make it. But from what I’ve seen and in my own experience, Jade Empire remains bottom of the pile as far as Bioware is concerned (and many critics agree, not that you can really trust them).

To be clear, I didn’t hate Jade Empire – I just thought the party of characters was unutterably dull, I didn’t like the party size of you and 1 other, and I thought the main plot was absent for most of the game and squashed into the final third (when it finally started getting interested, it ended almost immediately after). But in its favour, it did have that 1942 style vertical scrolling shooter with the airship – which was absolutely awesome. I just loved the airships in general, with their cool look and those trails of smoke they made.

Anyway, back on topic, I’m still playing… nothing! Man, I cannot wait for Dark Souls 2…

@Vrykolas : Well, I enjoyed Shenmue on the Dreamcast and when the second came out (only in limited supply for the Dreamcast here in AUS, as the Dreamcast was sadly on it’s last legs) I grabbed that too. I liked the story and the locations were well done. I admit Ryo Hazuki had about as much emotion as a brick wall (only other character who was like this, is Squall Leonhart from FFVIII), but I admired his determination to achieve his goal… something which we won’t see sadly.

Jade Empire was made by BioWare before the dark days of EA… Ray Myzuka and the other guy in charge of BioWare, wanted to do a sequel but never got round to it due to other titles (one being a little known title called Mass Effect). There is a huge fanbase for JE, and Myzuka (and the other guy) knew that… they just never had the time to get around to it. The whole game was great (for me) as it played out like a Hong Kong Martial Arts movie (the ones with Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat, Sammo Hong, Sonny Chiba etc in), and the gameplay worked. Followed the KISS principle and it did work. I liked the party size in this game as it worked for the game and the characters in your group, are similar to ones the main character in the abovementioned movies gathers to them.

I liked both, as a fan of Asian cinema, they really appealed to me. Still… to each their own.

Well, I think you might be overselling the ‘huge’ fanbase for Jade Empire – it was a sales flop, as I recall. (I know sales don’t tell the whole story by any means, but I’ve noticed much love for the game on the net). Even the insane folks over on the Bioware Social Network forums (bless their zealous little souls), don’t seem to like it much. Shenmue also flopped – its unrealistic to expect companies to put in money after that. Sometimes they bring it on themselves with bad, non-existent or misleading marketing, executive meddling etc. But I don’t that applies to either Jade Empire or Shenmue. They both had important developers personally overseeing them, were as well financed as the companies could afford, and both were promoted heavily before release. I’m not sure what else could have been done.

And I still don’t hold with this whole ‘dark days of EA’. I don’t like them any more than you do, but they’re unfortunately necessary. Without EA’s money, Mass Effect 2 wouldn’t have looked or performed as it did, neither would it have had all those unique, non-recycled environments. Bioware couldn’t afford to make games on that scale before, and had to recycle environments heavily in KOTOR, Mass Effect 1 etc. It was a tradeoff joining up with EA, they lost a lot of independence and many feel that it wasn’t worth it, but that’s the cost of doing business these days. Without EA’s backing, Mass Effect 2 wouldn’t have had the production values to win over the mainstream.

Meanwhile, just look at Obsidian – with games like Fallout New Vegas, Planescape Torment, KOTOR 2 and Alpha Protocol, these guys have pumped out so many classic experiences. But because they’re an independent company with no resources of their own, no rich backers like EA etc, they can’t afford to polish the games to the standard that the mainstream demand. All those games are classics, but the mainstream don’t want to know, because they don’t look or play like AAA games – and that is entirely a money issue. Handling a beloved (by some anyway) property like South Park nets them easy publicity and sales, and in the South Park creators, they were dealing with anti-establishment people who happen to have the money. Its a very specific exception to how the industry usually works.

It sucks, but money makes the world go round. I hate South Park (the franchise), but I might buy the game out of customer loyalty to Obsidian. Those guys deserve a hit.

They the ones in the Sunken Airship? If so, they’re pretty much the toughest regular foes in the game – they are guarding lots of unique weapons, summons, limits etc after all. Its best to just run through, grab all the gear, run from the baddies and return later (the Unknowns are probably the best enemies in the game to farm for AP).

Also, the game does name the locations. Just look on the menu screen, and it tells you the name of your current location..

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I did. It was pain, but I got out of there.

I see the location name at the bottom, too. I didn’t even notice that, for some reason! I’m such an idiot sometimes. :/

Currently on Disc 3 at the Northern Cave. Struggling a bit, but I’m making progress. Really scared of dying to a one-hit enemy at this point.

Hey, I miss stuff in plain sight all the time too! You get so caught up in what you’re doing, that you just don’t see it, I guess. I remember finishing Demon’s Souls without realizing that wearing less armour made you move faster (I thought it worked like Fallout, where you’re fine until you exceed the limit, then can’t move). I felt like a prize idiot when I realized how hard I’d made things for myself!

If its instant KO that’s getting you in FF7, just put ‘Added Effect’ paired with a ‘Contain’ materia (you can get one in Mideel I think) into a piece of armour, and that makes you immune to instant death. Very handy in the final dungeon, because of those guys with Cross Scissor, and Lvl 5 Death etc. The Northern Cave can be a real pain otherwise.

FF7 is one of those games that really does reward you seeking out the extra special stuff – it doesn’t have any post game or secret dungeons, so all the special items are designed to be of actual use in the main game. Breeding the Gold Chocobo is an almighty pain, but it pays off when you get Knights of the Round, Mime, Quadra Magic etc etc. Same with the Battle Arena and Omnislash – torture to get through, but well worth the pain IMO.

Funny, I got through the final dungeon without Contain and Added effect. Yay persistence? :p

Just fought Jenova SYNTHESIS AND Bizzaro Sephiroth in one setting(Bizzaro Sephiroth did an attack that nearly insta-killed me, and I swear, my heart nearly stopped when I saw my party’s health drop so much). I’m so proud of myself haha. Thanks to All+Cure3, Regen, and plenty of other useful materia, I got through. The real test, however, is the real Sephiroth.

Oh, and my party is Tifa, and Red XIII.

Edit: Aaaaand, he got me. Done. So effin’ done.

With how the Materia system is in FFVII, you can set up some crazy materia combo’s… one which can kill a Zombie Dragon (the toughest non boss enemy in the game) when it’s only halfway through it’s set. It can eviscerate bizarro sephiroth easily…

Back on FF 7 again after rage-quitting when Sephiroth killed me with that overly long one-hit kill attack.

Just doing a little bit of grinding, and finding things I missed. I’ve managed to buy some MP and HP materia boosts, as well. I also managed to find and defeat the Ultimate Weapon and obtain the Ultima Weapon for Cloud.

Edit: Found a "Double Cut" materia in the sunken airplane. That, + Cloud’s "Ultima Weapon" = Extremely useful.

Vrykolas

Sephiroth is pretty tough – one of the harder final bosses in the FF series IMO (at least from FF6 onwards). Most people forget how tough he is, because they do the Gold Chocobo quest, and he (like everyone else in the game) is a joke once you have Knights of the Round. Fight him properly though, and he’s pretty damn strong. Bizarro’s pretty easy (just annoying, because of how he works), but Safer has tons of HP, throws out brutal attacks quickly, and makes frequent use of buffs and debuffs.

EDIT: Well done you! And how awesome does it feel to kill him? That’s one of the great things about JRPGs – they have really tough bosses, but when you beat them, you get such a rush! Its kind of like Highlander, but with less severed heads…

Yeah, it was Safer-Sephiroth. Bizzaro-Sephiroth wasn’t too bad, but Safer-Sephiroth kicked my ass yesterday, and I finished him off recently. The "final battle" after his Safer-Sephiroth form was literally the easiest part of the game.

Really? 30 quid for a game that lasts less than 2 hours is too rich for me!

If you like Metal Gear that much, then all power to you – its your money after all. But I worry about the message this sort of thing sends out. If game publishers realize we will pay near full price for little more than a demo, then are we just supposed to trust that EA and Activision won’t start doing the same?

Again, this isn’t some accusation or ‘You’re contributing to the downfall of our hobby – be ashamed!’ finger pointing – people are free to buy what they want, and don’t need to justify why they do so. I just think it was a really depressing thing for Konami to do, because it seems to be preying on people’s love for Metal Gear in a nakedly greedy way. And developers always take the wrong cues from this sort of stuff – i.e they might assume that people think its okay to pay this much for so little, when actually they’re paying because they love Metal Gear. Same as EA’s infamous ‘people love paying for DLC content’ or the success around Assassin’s Creed 4 etc – most people liked it because it was an open world pirate adventure game, but the message that Ubisoft took from it, was that people wanted lots and lots more Assassin’s Creed…

Just finished Tales of the Abyss on the 3DS. It was okay I suppose, but it felt less enjoyable and fun than the other Tales games I’ve played. The main story in Tales games usually aren’t all that important to the overall experience, but this game was pretty much all main story. I hardly did any side quests and it still took me nearly 50 hours to complete (did a lot of grinding as that’s always a necessity for these games, but it was still a really, really long campaign – usually a JRPG will last around 30 hours if you’re only doing the main story).

The technobabble was confusing as hell, and there were many times when I had very little true understanding of what was going on. But it did have some really awesome moments and ideas (there’s an awesome sequence where armies of soldiers are fighting on this huge plain, as fleets of gigantic land battleships trundle about, firing broadsides and jousting with each other with these huge lances fixed to their fronts. That sequence = ultimate win!) I felt like the game had some promise but my apathy to the characters prevented me from really connecting with the game – the cast are fine, and have decent stories in theory, but I don’t feel like I ever had that moment where we clicked and I could really come on board with them.

All in all, it was a decent enough game for a knockabout, but probably my least favorite Tales games that I’ve played to this point. Just never managed to capture any personal emotional investment from me.

I absolutely HATED Luke, even after he "changed". What an awful main character. He alone made me want to quit the game entirely. However, I loved the rest of the characters (especially Jade) and fairly enjoyed the story and gameplay, so I dealt with it.

Yeah, Luke is a pain but I freely admit that I hate that style of character anyway – i.e characters who are ‘Utter Jerk to begin with, but learns the value of friendship and teamwork etc etc. Characters like Tidus from Final Fantasy X, Altair from Assassin’s Creed, Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII etc etc – they just annoy me. There inevitably comes a point where I throw the controller away and shout ‘F**k this character!’ I don’t care what their sob stories are – characters who act like utter jerks really grind my gears.

As for the story in Abyss, it was okay but I really could have done without those parts where the characters start technobabbling. Its something the Tales series always do, but its never been this bad in the other games – ‘Fon artes, the Seventh Fonists and the Fifth Fonists, use Fomicry and Isofons to sing Fonic symphonies, so using Fonstones we can use the Sephiroth Trees and the Planet Storm Fonons from the Fonic Belt, so long as we manage the Miasma, the Passage Rings and the Replicated replicas with their matching Fonic frequencies, plus the replicated Fonons to… ARRGGHH! ENOUGH! I GIVE IN!!! JUST PUT IN A DUNGEON AND LET ME KILL SOMETHING – PLEASE!’

I’m exaggerating of course, but some sections do come very close to that level of utter gibberish. There are lots of really great moments, but with an annoying main character, badly explained lore (seriously – to understand many of the key concepts and events that get talked about, you have to visit the damn library, because it isn’t explained anywhere else!), endless enforced traipsing to and fro around the locations just to get short conversations that basically repeat what you already knew, and yet another massively strung out final Act that should have ended at least 10 hours before it does… playing this game was a pretty arduous experience at times.

Anyway, speaking of Final Fantasy X, I went against my better judgement and downloaded it onto my Vita. I managed about 5 minutes of Tidus and turned it off. The voice acting on that character… gah!

My Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn Character (http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/2354722/)

So now have to get my act together and get my relic weapon for SMN… but with my LS. Not going to do the fights for the quest line with randoms.

… so, gonna head back into Crystal Tower as White Mage and get the rest of the Royal Gear, which’ll give me a better chance as I have only one healer to compete with in my alliance for ’em. Got the Royal Crown and Royal Breeches in the same run as I got my Crimson Breeches… so have the Royal Celestial Gloves, Royal Vest, Royal Sash and Royal Boots… WHICH… if I’m ‘INCREDIBLY’ lucky, I could theoretically get all four pieces in one entire run (as there are four bosses in the tower, and the pieces I’m after have a chance from dropping from each boss)…

Also as a Healer, my wait time for a run should be considerably lower than as a DPS. I hope

Finished Still Life 2.

I’ll be honest, I liked the beginning and middle portion of it, but close to the end, I felt it was going on far too long, and I felt that it should’ve just ended with a cut-scene like the first one. Plus, some of the game braking bugs kinda ruined the game for me. The music’s good, though, especially the menu music.

I played FF10 again too. Time has not altered my opinions of it (i.e its too short, has a weak, badly developed plot and an extremely irritating main character). But I was pleased to find that I still really enjoy playing Blitzball. Beating the Luca Goers is easily one of the highlights of that game. It comes at a time when the game hits a sweet spot, as (the laughing scene notwithstanding) everything from Luca up to and including Operation Mi’hen is excellent.

Its just a shame that the rest of the game is so meh.

Like everyone else I hit critical mass and lost my joy for the game after about the 250 hour mark. I kept up with mods from the nexus to spice things up and then in October last year, BLAM – no more windows laptop (yes, I game on a laptop and no, I don’t surround myself with fans), fortunately I had a stick with Mint 16 on hence the switch. Now the fun part has been learning enough Linux language to get WINE and the OS to play nice with Skyrim but last week it all clicked and I was back in Helgen (I decided to start a totally fresh game) since then I haven’t had much time to play but the joy of rediscovery is immense and this weekend is clear, Yippee

I’ve played games that had not only good underwater sections, but they performed better. The framerate dips below 30(due to that water ripple effect, I believe)when you’re underwater in MegaMan Legends 2 and makes the game feel sluggish and a chore to play. Game is still great and fun as hell, but I feel that’s the only downside with this game, the underwater sections are the worst.

Well, I can’t comment on Megaman, because I haven’t played it, but off the top of my head, I can’t remember a single game where I’ve enjoyed underwater sections. They always seem terrible, slow, too dark to see properly etc etc. Maybe its just the psychic scars from Zelda’s water temple still hurting after all this time…

Seriously though, I *really* hate underwater sections in games. I was playing KOTOR again a few months ago, and was reminded anew of that joyless, tortuous underwater section, with you crawling along at snail’s pace in that diving suit… ugh.

Not having played either Banjo Tooie or any of the Crash games, I can’t really comment. I’m happy to take your words on it though, gents. I’m obviously exaggerating to make my point here – I’m not suggesting that there *literally* aren’t any good underwater levels in games, but merely that my experience of them has been overwhelmingly negative.

I remember kind of liking the ‘Soda Lake’ level on Super Mario World, but that could just be the sense of triumph I felt at finally mastering that ‘fly under the exit with enough momentum to reach the secret exit’ bit on Cheese Bridge that you have to go through to unlock the Lake level. Plus it has those cool Torpedo enemies, which aren’t on any of the other levels.

But generally, I’ve lost track down the years of how many times my heart has sunk through the floor when I realize I have to do an underwater section. Horrible, imprecise flailing about that vaguely looks like swimming, severely restrcted range of movement, murky levels, slow pace, often having all of your regular attacks or moves deactivated. Gah! May these sections be consigned to gaming hell and burn there forever!

I suppose to be fair, underwater sections are no worse than any of the drastic changes in environment or controls that games foist on you. Vehicle sections in games that are primarily on foot for example are also rarely good, because they won’t have had the development time assigned to them that the rest of the game had (Half Life 2 for example). Its just a case of the game mostly using a completely different set of rules to those that the underwater levels/sections use. On the one hand they offer some variety, but the other they bring all the woes we’ve discussed.

But its primarily the awful swimming and flailing about that gets me – particularly when you have to fight enemies and bosses etc, but racing against the clock to find air before you drown is another of my much hated water perils. So long as I’m not directly in the water however, I’m usually okay with it. Say if you’re in a sub or something (that ocean level in Star Fox 64 is pretty funky as I recall, but the tank level still beats it IMO!) I just don’t like actually having to swim about or walk along the ocean floor etc etc. There’s a bit in Bioshock 2 where you have to go walking about on the sea bed, and its predictably awful.

And hey, I really love the idea of ‘the fathomless deeps of the sea’, the ‘wonders and the horrors of the abyssal depths’ etc etc. Games like Bioshock and KOTOR have had very effective horror themed ocean levels. That bit with the diving suit sucks in KOTOR, but otherwise I love the whole deep sea terror feel of Manaan. And come on – XCOM: Terror from the Deep? Now *there* was a great underwater game.

Ah, I did my Dragon Age/Dragon Age 2 playthrough a month or so back – got it done during the lean release schedules! Speaking of release schedules, I really wish Bioware would wise up and change that October release date for Inquisition. October packed to bursting with big name games – the release date for DA:I is right around the time of Alien: Isolation, The Evil Within, Shadows of Mordor, Batman Arkham Knight etc etc. Who wants to be caught up in that scrum?

If I were them, I’d throw everything I had into finishing the polishing, troubleshooting process and get it out earlier (end of August maybe). They’d have the release schedule to themselves, and they’d avoid that end of year melee (which will probably also include Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty etc etc).

If not EA/Bioware, then someone has to see sense – that release schedule is just insane. We get practically nothing of note all year, then everything at once, so we can’t possibly afford and find time to play it all. Another great showcase of the razor sharp minds at work in the games industry…

That’s a lot of work. Then again, it is why flash drives are made. So you can get your data on that and just put it on your new system.


Vrykolas

You see, when you say something like ‘flash drive’, it means very little to a technological illiterate like me ๐Ÿ˜€ For some reason it made me thnik of old sci-fi shows.

‘Activate the Flash Drive!’ (cue shot of those people tumbling head over heels from ‘The Time Tunnel’ etc)

I assume its some sort of data storage… thing. I’m pretty I know what it is, but I have no idea how it works. Unless it can retrieve data from terminally zonked consoles, then the horse has already bolted (and even if it can, I wouldn’t have the first clue what to do, and having my tech savvy, PC loving friends sneer at my stone age level of tech knowhow is among my least favourite things to do).

Besides, it *is* a lot of work, but its not really *work* work, is it? Its nice to have an excuse to go back and play these games. And hell, its not like I’m buying loads of new games, more’s the pity. I’ve only bought 1 game this year (3 if you count downloads, but Final Fantasy 10 hardly counts as I already owned it). To be frank, I’m glad to have something to fill my gaming schedule, as I wait to be overwhelmed in October’s blitz.

So thanks for the suggesion (truly), but if I was to educate myself in technical matters, I’d use it on more entertaining pursuits than learning about flash drives and the like. Like having a pair of Doctor Octopus mecha limbs grafted onto my body, so I’d be able to play multiple consoles at once – that would make getting through all the games much easier. Or I could form my own multiplayer clan and be all the members myself at the same time… hmm.

Glass houses and all that ๐Ÿ˜€ I jest of course, and you’re right that too much time spent in front of the screen is bad. But its unnecessary to tell me this – I’ve always kept extremely late hours, and require very little sleep. It allows me to get in gaming, whilst still having time for everything else of importance.

As I say, this is a rather exceptional circumstance – its sort of like speed reading a set of books you’ve already read. I already know most of the secrets and tricks to these games, so playing them now is much faster than it was the first time.

And the only real games i’ve platinumed as far as those go are the Disgaea games and Atelier Meruru. Also, I’m online quite a bit, too.

I’m actually just about at my vacation period since business is a lot slower during the summer and I’ve been cut to only one shift a week.

Hey, we all set our own limits, and we are all responsible for being honest with ourselves on how much we play and how much is too much. As far as I’m concerned, you can Platinum away to your heart’s content. People live their own lives – you can’t live it for them. I like playing games and I’m not ashamed to say so, but I’m not crazy – I’m in no danger of being found as some kind of dessicated husk in front of my console, having died from playing World of Warcraft (or whatever) for 5 years continuously ๐Ÿ˜€

Look at the games on my list, and you’ll see that only a handful require more than 6 hours or so to beat. Action games like FEAR 2, Spec Ops: The Line, Killzone 2, Killzone 3 etc can be (and were) finished in just 2-3 sessions of gaming of around 3 hours each. Its only the bigger RPGs like the Dragon Age games and LA Noire that took more time. I’m right there with you that people need to be responsible with their gaming, but like I say, we all know our own limits. We can only hope that for those who don’t, somebody who knows them will step in, but for the most part, I think people can be trusted to know what’s right for them.

I live a very uncluttered, low tech life, which frees up a lot of time because I avoid so many of modern life’s distractions. I spend hardly any time online, don’t own a mobile phone, I don’t use social networking (I have never looked at Facebook or Twitter – ever, not even once!), I’ve never played an MMO etc etc. I’m kind of the exact opposite end of the scale from the guy being dead in front of WoW, I guess. This isn’t about justifcation or validation – I play as much as I care to, and I’m satisfied that it isn’t too much. My way of life works for me, but would be unthinkable for the next man, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It takes all kinds to make a world and all that.

As the classic line goes: ‘To Thine Own Self, Be True’.

Hey, i’m back to the shrine since last week.

I’m doing my run through the Shin Megami Tensei doing my absence.

Finished P3P first. Great game. Loved the Ending and it’s storyline and some of it’s social links threads.

Started The Answer from FES. Disgusted on how continued the story (Aigis in the Velvet Room WTF). So I decided to not to play it, even gameplay wise is a disgrace.

Finished Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne with the True Demon Ending. Daisojou is so fucking broken man. But still quite amazing game when you manage to get a hold it’s mechanics. And highly satisfying. Neutral and True Demon endings got the cake for me. It’s currently my favorite game from the Franchise.

Continued my memory from Persona 4. I was nearly on tears after the Heaven dungeon. Only to be utterly pissed off after the reveal of the real culprit. Such a disgrace. Such a waste of oportunity. Such a waste of storyline, the way it threw itself away. It baffles me. It made me wonder if the Japs really know how to write good villains. So yeah, it’s pending to be finished but I don’t feel like doing it at all… Probably not going too.

Continuing Digital Devil Saga Avatar Tuner right now, I’m at the final battle, which I’m so underleveled that it’s giving me a hard the bitch onmyo harihara. I’m going to beat her though. Probably this weekend.

I have a save from Persona 2 IS, great storyline so far (probably the most hooking of the franchise and it’s foreshadowing to be the best too.), the gameplay puts me off hard time. So I’m struggling to going through it. But I want to see right through it.

Persona 1 PSP is also another pending. Again it’s gameplay puts me a little bit off. But probably going to do it.

Other than that I finished MGS4 for the first time a few months ago. Loved the fanservice and the Act 4, the final battle as well. I chuckled quite a bit to "it’s the NANOMACHINES" plot device throughout the game. Almost in tears in the ending. I hated the Zero twist of the storyline. But then again. I’m probably the only person alive who thinks that MGS3 was the worst and a total disgrace to the series, moreso than 2.

Then again, I can keep myself caged thinking that it’s storyline started and finished back in the PS1 and be happy with it. Hail Solid fucking Snake. xD

Took a break from Shin Rorona no Atelier after failing to get true ending, due to missing a few friendship points with one NPC in the middle of the game. It wasn’t required in the original Rorona, so I had no idea it was now.
And what did I play instead? Atelier Rorona Plus, haha. I managed to buy it on Thursday, one day before release, at a local game shop, which was pretty incredible considering the game was unavailable everywhere else. I got my platinum an hour ago, so finishing the Japanese version won’t be a problem now that I know what was missing. The game’s trophies are still not showing up in online mode even though the release date was the 20th.
I’m probably going to finish off the last stuff in Binding of Isaac when I play something next.

Just finished Catherine. That game is a lot easier than you think its going to be – I’m no master of puzzle games by any stretch of the imagination, but I had little difficulty getting through it. Not that I necessarily would *want* it to be harder, but it did surprise me. Well, suprised me again I should say (I have finished it before, but that was around the time it came out).

Decent game for what it is, enjoyable story, and the sections where you hang out in the bar with Vincent’s layabout friends are great fun. Much preferred the ending I got this time, to the one I got the first time round (I got the True Freedom ending, where Vincent decides not to get married, stay single and just enjoy his life by going on a tourism trip – in space!)

Have to say though – playing a puzzle game that requires quick and 3 dimensional thinking in the middle of a crippling heatwave = absence of joy. I was so hot at times that I could barely stay conscious, let alone plan my moves out!

The main reason why 2014 been such a sucky year for me is due to getting back into trophies addiction at this year’s start, it has always felt against my character and like I’ve lost my soul to it and dishonoured myself and wasted time and money *sigh* Which means I neglected my true self this year so no language-learning or Sonic.
There was also another reason but that’s off-topic and was more minor and long-term-intermittently-ongoing and is gone now thankfully. And another minor reason was getting scammed at this year’s start.

What do you mean by skipping? I’m more concerned with the plot and other things. I can tolerate the fan service if the story is good enough. Without a decent story, characters or setting, I’m finding it hard to suffer through most JRPG’s these days.

Speaking of which, I finally completed the story of Final Hallway XIII. I think the game gets more hate than it deserves. I started out disliking the game because the characters got on my nerves, but they grew on me the further I progressed.

I liked the story. There’s a good portion of different endings. I find it hard to figure out a favorite ending. As for the skipping, you’ll have to see for yourself. The entire game I never had the game once crash on me even with the occasional skipping. It was worse for Disgaea D2.


Star Magician
07-27-2014, 08:47 AM
Oh, do you mean frame-skipping/ frame rate issues? I had the same issue with Disgaea D2. For me, was displayed in 1080p (it looked up-scaled though), which is higher than the average PS3 game. That’s might be why it had those issues.
But oh god, the worst frame rates I’ve ever experienced were Skyrim and Drakengard 3 on the PS3. Drakengard 3 was tolerable, but Skyrim was just out-right terrible in some areas.

Anyway, maybe I’ll give Ar Tonelico 3 a try if I can find it at a good price.
Right now, I’m trying to finish Disgaea on the DS before I do a story reset on DD2. I’m also in the middle of Lost Kingdoms, Shining Force II and The Guided Fate Paradox.

Yeah, Xillia was alright, but it did suffer from a few problems endemic to the Tales series (combat is fun but pretty mindless button mashing, the game lacks consistent villains and it feels like there is a revolving door of opponents who have their 15 minutes of fame then die, before the game seemingly randomly settles on a final opponent – that in particular is a staple of the Tales series IMO).

Like I said, I thought it was one of the best of the series (just behind Vesperia for me). I would just for once like some more consistency in the villains. Establish some villains and stick with them and develop them. The Tales series rarely offers this, constantly pulling out new factions and masterminds, only to quickly dispatch them and move onto someone else new. It keeps things moving and it keeps you on your toes, but there’s something to said for having a stable set of villains who get a proper amount of time to flourish and really demonstrate why they are so dastardly that you must beat them. In Dragon Age Origins (for example) you knew the Darkspawn and Archdemon were your enemies, and that didn’t change. They didn’t get replaced with new enemies halfway through, or you didn’t have sections where you were friends with them now (well, unless you count Awakening I guess…) before the game pulls a last minute ‘Oh wait… actually we *will* have you fight them after all… probably’.

This is something that is less noticeable if you haven’t played multiple Tales games, I guess. Part of me thinks ‘Well, its always this way so that’s how the Tales guys like to make their games’. And Vesperia arguably does it even more than this game, and that’s my favourite Tales game! I’m just of the mind that a really satisfying story, a really epic adventure should set up its villains early and develop them over the course of the game, so when you finally do take them out, it feels appropriately important. This revolving door ‘Big Bad of the Week’ approach, doesn’t do it for me. Nachtigal – done, Gilland – done, Exodus – done, Chimeriad – done, Maxwell – done. And plots like the Otherworld reactor plan and pretty much everything to do with Elympios just seeming to be abandoned, despite its huge potential.

But hey, I guess that’s what the sequel is for, hey? It was a good game – I just don’t think it was the great game that it could have been (and it wasn’t far off IMO).

I see the Resident Evil Gamecube remake is being re-released on all the current consoles. Typical – yet another game that I slaved away on back in the day, completing on its hardest settings (Real Survivor, Invisible enemy mode etc etc) for nothing but sheer love of the game. And now they’ll release them on consoles that will give achievements for those things, tempting me to torture myself all over again. First it was Halo: Combat Evolved Legendary playthrough on the original Xbox, now this… All that time and effort.

It feels like… like premature ejaculation. Er, but with games… oh, but not *those* type of games! Ahem…

Anyway, it could just be the games drought delirium, but I probably will buy it again – even though I still own it. Its one of my favourite ever games, so I guess the excuse to play it again and earn some trophies is worth it. And there’s always the faint hope that if it makes enough money, Capcom will have the wacky notion of making a new Resident Evil game that is actually a survival horror. Then again, who knows what goes through their minds – for all we know they’ll make the next one into a racing game, or a rhythm action game. I’ve given up trying to guess their logic long ago.

No, I haven’t. People say nice things about it, so I’ve been mulling it over. The only things that have stopped me are some troubling stories of a very repetitive and badly thought out final Act, and the fact that the art style really isn’t my thing (I’m sure I’d get over it if I started playing though).

I guess the biggest problem is that the reason everyone seems to love it, is because its apparently very old school and feels like an old Square game. But though I did like older JRPGs, I don’t really class myself as a fan of the really old style of JRPGs. (Final Fantasy 7, 8 etc aside, I’m more of a PS2 era JRPG fan, than the old Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger style – great games to be sure, but never really as interesting to me personally as later games).

So… I don’t know – it is one of the games I’ve been looking at. Frankly I’m so starved for games, that I’m willing to give anything a shot at this point! I assume that you recommend it, given the ‘I liked it so much, I put my *name* on it!’ ๐Ÿ˜€

In the middle of Tales of Graces ƒ. I’m at Kurt’s boss battle right now. Giving the game a rest because he completely destroyed me. >.< I’m not really a huge Tales vet, but I’m trying to beat the game on moderate difficulty instead of the default. I’m making progress I guess, it’s just that there are a lot of snags along the way, such as this ridiculous difficulty spike/boss battle. That’s one thing I really don’t like about this game. The boss prior to this one was pathetically easy for some reason, and I didn’t grind before it or anything. For this one, I’ll certainly have to…

If it helps, Kurt gave me some trouble too. I didn’t die outright, but he gave me a real scare, especially because *nothing* was giving my guys trouble by that time.

I learned a long time ago that you should grind, grind, grind in Tales games, as much and as often as you can in the early stages. The games always have a few outrageous difficulty spikes, so it pays to get your party well ahead of the curve. Level up steadily, never ever refuse a fight, and bide your time until you find a fairly challenging dungeon, then go out and mine it for EXP for as long as you can possibly stand to do it. A bit of pain and effort grinding for levels in the right areas, pays huge rewards down the line in those games (because it also gives you lots of loot, cash etc to keep up on weapons and other gear).

Kurt and the final boss were the only ones in the main game who gave me a scare. Basically, you’ve nothing to be ashamed about, because he is definitely one of the toughest people in the game. He isn’t indicative of the game getting harder – he’s just unusually tough.

Yeah, I’m learning that, lol. However, no matter what game I’m playing, I try to avoid grinding wherever possible, just to keep the gameplay interesting. I hate getting to bosses only to find that I wipe the floor with them because my stats are higher than normal. It makes the game boring. On the other hand, if there’s required grinding, that’s a design flaw, in my opinion. Can’t say it in this case though, since it was my own damn fault for choosing moderate difficulty. Lol…

Xenoblade Chronicles really pushed my limit in this regard too. If the plot wasn’t as interesting as it was, I probably would have never finished it.

Well, I agree that JRPGs are at their best when the combat is challenging enough that you don’t just steamroller the enemies. The problem is knowing what level you should be at to achieve that. If you can keep yourself in that sweet spot of being not too weak and not too powerful, then you get the chance to fully explore a game’s items, skills, formations, whatever to pull off wins that show you understand the technical aspects of the game. But difficulty spikes ruin that, coming out of nowhere to give battles where their attacks are just so powerful that you can barely survive at all, when the surrounding battles haven’t been anywhere near as hard.

I still remember playing Star Ocean: Til the End of Time. Gently progressing with no real problems, enjoying the story and exploration, not grinding excessively. And I was happy as a clam – until I got to the Urssa Lava Caves. The whole dungeon was a difficulty spike in its own right, but just to get in there, you had to beat this utter bastard of a boss called Robin Wind. The little sod was so much harder than anything I’d faced to that point, and it was a rude awakening to be sure. Plus as anyone who has played SMT: Nocturne will tell you, the battle against Matador is truly infamous.

So over the years, I’ve learned that its best to just bury my feelings and take the EXP when i can get it. Because meeting a tough boss, and realising that you *must* do some grinding is a real pain. Doing grinding at you own pace during the story, before you feel you must do it, makes the pill a little easier to swallow IMO.

Star Ocean TTEOT is a great game, but its no easy ride, that’s for sure. If you get the guide and work out how to make the most of the item crafting, then you can break the game pretty early on. Without that though, the game remains fairly challenging throughout. Worth another look though, I’d say – one of the best JRPGs I’ve played IMO.

Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed on Wii U. I have a weakness for Kart racing games, and this is a pretty good one.

I too played that recently, and I have to say, it’s probably the best racing game I’ve ever played, pretty neck-and-neck with Mario Kart Double Dash for me. It would be better than MKDD by a looong shot if not for that annoying friggen announcer. "BLOWFISH! BLOWFISH! BLOWFISH!" What’s worse is that you can’t turn him off without turning off character voices! Stupid!

Anyway, right now, I’m giving Tales of Graces a break because it’s really aggravating, tedious and the story is just getting worse the farther I progress. I had to play through Journey to ease my rage, and it really worked! Journey was amazing! But too short…

I started playing Kingdoms of Amalur after that, and I’m HOOKED. I’ve logged in several 6-16 hour sessions already, and I only started it on like Friday. However, it’s showing its tedium after 40 hours already. A lot of the game and literally all of the characters are pretty forgettable unfortunately(except maybe Alyn Shir. You know why… Just sayin’), but the battle at Mel Senshir was pretty sweet.


Vrykolas
08-21-2014, 07:02 PM
Graces has IMO the worst story of any of the Tales games I’ve played. The combat is probably the best of the series though, so it does have that going for it at least. But other than that, the story sucks and the character’s are mostly pretty weak (compared to how good characters in this series often are). I really loved Pascal, and Hubert (is that his name – can’t remember) has some hilarious gags that poke fun at his super serious nature (such as him striking a victory pose, twirling his weapon extravagantly and heroically bellowing ‘Every last Gald we earn goes straight into the equipment budget!’ Always make me laugh.

But yeah, not one my favorites. Still, Xillia-2 is out tomorrow, so I’ll take a look at that. I also bought Dark Souls 2 earlier in the week, but I haven’t played it yet. I though about playing all the Souls games back to back (Demon’s Souls first, then both Dark Souls games).

On reflection though… I don’t think so! ๐Ÿ˜€

I have to be honest, I’m not all that fond of the Tales’ series combat systems. Combat is not really something that drives me through any RPG. While I can see Graces’ merits in that regard, I just don’t like it enough to have to do it hundreds upon hundreds of times just to see the final moments of the game. I had the same problem with Abyss and Xillia too – halfway through the game, I’m burnt out, and I haven’t beaten Symphonia for the same reason. Even with other games like FFXII, FFXIII, Xenoblade Chronicles, Ni No Kuni (which I haven’t even gotten that far yet), The Last Story, Kingdom Hearts II, and I’m even now starting to feel that way with Kingdoms of Amalur, repetitive battling just drags me down. One of my favorite RPG’s, Golden Sun (and the second one especially), may have annoying random battles, but grinding is completely unnecessary because of how they balanced the whole game, and most of the challenge actually came rrom creative puzzle-solving. I guess I wish that there were more RPG’s and adventure games that didn’t require so much time battling and had more than that to offer.

Edit: Finally made it to Alabastra on Kingdoms of Amalur. I kinda rushed to the end once I got there, so I just finished the main quest line.
What to play next…

That’s exactly my feeling on combat in RPGs of all kinds – my comment on Graces was simply that out of the various Tales’ battle systems, it has the best one. There are very few RPGs that I would play for the gameplay – the story and characters are what matter.

And on the subject of Platinum trophies, I must say that I have very few of them. I don’t mind a bit of trophy hunting on games I really like. And I have deliberately sought out the Platinum on a few, but generally the amount of work involved makes it seem an extremely thankless task. Particularly on RPGs, where some of them will be ‘Collect *every* item, kill *every* enemy, open absolutely *every* chest, reach level 99,999 with all your character etc etc.

So I did in fact decide to go and replay Demon’s Souls, with a view to playing all 3 games back to back. I steeled myself for battle, then got stuck into Demon’s Souls. But then I made a tragic mistake – I picked a Mage character.

See. I’ve only played Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls once each. I completed them both and loved them both, but my characters in the games were essentially identical. I took a pretty standard ‘Knight with Sword and Shield’ and stuck with it throughout both games. No magic (a few miracles for stat buffs in Demon’s Souls, but I never used them), no bows – just Sword and Board. So this time, I thought I should try something else, mix it up a bit. My first thought was to make a hulking Greatsword wielding bezerker of a man (and oh how I wish I’d done that now). But I decided I needed a clean break – lightly armored (if indeed I had any at all), focus on mobility and ranged attacks. So that left me looking at some kind of ranger or sorceror. Being a bit of a closet caster, I decided to give the Mage a go.

But man… what a blunder! I still love this game, the atmosphere is so great and menacing, and for a while I was feeling extra vulnerable due to not having my customary layers of heavy armor and oceans of hit points. But then I realized that the spells I had were absolutely incredible – long range, lock on ability so you hardly ever miss, high damage (for the time of game). I found I was breezing effortlessly through the game, and its only continued in that vein. I don’t have to bother learning enemy attack patterns, find windows of opportunity, learn weapon timing etc – just point and blast. Its the most boring thing I’ve ever played in my life!

And so, I’ve been stuck in this rut of ‘Do I really want to go back and change it, now I’m 20+ hours in?’ against the other argument of ‘This is less fun than sticking your head in a bucket of acid’. I think I’m going to have to knock this one on the head, and start again with my Greatsword idea. I can’t believe that I waited this long to get back into Demon’s Souls – a game I absolutely love to pieces, and is one of my favorite games of the last gen – and I’ve messed it up so disastrously that I can’t stand to even look at it, let alone play it.

A surprisingly good shoot-em-up for the PC, with a fairly odd story…even for an ‘anime type’ game.

Beyond Space:
First person shooter in space, think Wing Commander but not as deep, for PC/phone.
It’s not the hardest game out there, but it’s pretty enough and fun.

Star Wars Empire At War – Forces of Corruption:
I was only able to get this game working properly on my new Win8.1 PC, despite having a WinXP PC that was textbook level for its hardware/software needs. Anyways.
Still, after half a decade or whatever, it’s a pretty fun game.
The ground stuff isn’t as fun as the space stuff, but both are fun enough that I’m actually going though EACH map to beat.
-Warning: The AI cheats, I don’t know how, but the AI cheats.

A Story About My Uncle:
It’s like the world of Myst went underground, with the game play of a first person Spider-Man, but based on puzzles not combat.
It’s…it’s just AMAZING.
Worth far more than what I paid for it.

My Souls series adventures continue, and I’m on Dark Souls now (I did in fact persevere with my Demon’s Souls, as I’d spent much of last week arguing that people should try and finish games more often, so it felt a bit hypocritical to give in myself on the very next game I played!) Anyway, it was ridiculously easy all the way through because magic is so broken in Demon’s Souls. False King Allant still gave me a bit of a beatdown, but otherwise I rolled the game’s bosses with no problems. Firestorm was killing most of them in 1 or 2 castings!

Making steady progress through Dark Souls as a light armor sword and shield + Longbow jobber. Its quite fun, and I’m enjoying being a melee fighter again. Still prefer heavy armor characters with spears and halberds, but this’ll do. First time I played the game, I had such a hard time with the Bell Gargoyles, but I rolled them first try this time out (with the aid of Sun Bro Solaire). Mostly, the going’s been pretty easy, but Chaos Witch Quelaag kicked my ass a few times. Managed to summon a phantom called Maneater Mildred (what a name!) to help me out, and finally nailed her with my trust longbow.

So yeah, good tense times being had over here.

Finished Danganronpa 2. Great game, better cast of characters this time and some good cases, although it was usually obvious what had happened and who did it. The overall story wasn’t as good though, feeling like more of a side story that barely advanced the overarching story of the Danganronpa setting at all.

So it was a good time, basically. Funny, intense, moving and really pretty dark at times (some of the things that get discussed in the final chapter were extremely unsettling). Overall, I thought it was better than the first game, but I still think they have a better game in them. Nevertheless, this is probably my Game of the Year so far (but it has been a very slow year, so take that however you will…)

I hated the Tower of Latria. The part where you’re soooooo high up was nerve racking. :c

The Tower of Latria is a bit intimidating because its all high walkways and pitch black background, but it was a lot easier for me this time because Soul Arrow/Soul Ray allowed me to snipe the Gargoyles as they flapped about in the air. No having them swipe at you and knock you off the walkways = gravy!

As for Quelaag.. I just couldn’t seem to do much damage to her. My +5 Divine Balder Side Sword has been mighty fine so far, but even wielding it 2 handed, I was doing miserable damage to her. I could chip away at her, and I had most of her attacks down but it was taking so long that she’d eventually catch me with that AOE magic attack and that *destroyed* me. I got her so close one time, only to accidentally roll into some lava… My screams of lamentation were heard several counties away, I should think!

Finally gave in and used some Humanity to reverse hollowing, hoping Solaire or Lautrec would be about to summon. Got jumped by Maneater Mildred’s Black Phantom on the way there (which was doubly alarming as I play offline!) but then rejoiced when I saw she could be summoned a White Phantom. Things like this make the pain worthwhile – truly awesome series. And the cutscene where Sen’s Fortress opens is one of my favorites – it just looks so beautiful when the camera switches to inside the entrance hall, and you see the sunlight sparkling in as the gate opens. (Then you actually go into Sen’s Fortress, and immediately get completely and utterly killed by the ferocious monsters and traps).

Good times, good times… ๐Ÿ˜€

I "fell in love" with the Tower of Latria since my first time (it only loses to Shrine of Storms). Used to be very afraid of the gargoyles but now I past run them.

For me, Boletarian Palace is by far the best of the Demon’s Souls worlds. It looks the best with its castle city feel, and there’s a strong narrative that incorporates all the bosses, but also the various NPCs like Biorr, Yuria, Ostrava and Miralda etc. I don’t feel like the other worlds had quite the same focus. Tower of Latria and Valley of Defilement had some ongoing story, but not to the extent that the palace did. I would have liked to have seen the Golden Elder appear at the start of 3-2 in the cutscene and maybe throws some spells at you – kind of like how Seath the Scaleless has an intro encounter.

I should say that I felt like a real heel this time after finishing the game. I’d been a nice guy throughout the game, killing the bad NPCs and saving the good ones. But I realized that I hadn’t seen the Evil Ending, as I chose the Good ending first time round. So I was idly throwing around the idea of killing the Maiden, but wasn’t sure how to justify it from a roleplaying point of view. But then Sage Freke stopped me just before I went to the final area and advised me to kill the Maiden, because if she put the Old One to sleep, then magicians like me and him would lose all our Soul Magic powers. So that settled that – I killed her and got the Evil Ending.

And then I felt *terrible*! I mean, your character literally stomps her dead face into the ground and tramples over her in his lust for the Demon’s Souls calling out to him. It was incredibly disturbing. But of course you can’t just reload in Demon’s Souls, so I was stuck with being a heartless monster. I’m making amends in my Dark Souls playthough – I’m a really nice guy in that game! ๐Ÿ˜€

Whilst I tend to favor nice guy characters, I’m not above playing Evil character. But Assassins really aren’t my thing. I never got the appeal of characters like these (and Thieves, Pirates, Ninjas etc – doesn’t do anything for me). My brand of evil characters tend to be more the utterly crazed, Elder God/Extradimensional Being/Demonic worshipping, cannibalistic, self-mutilating, innocent-sacrificing crackpots. I mean if you’re to be evil, you may as well be a real nutcase, right? ๐Ÿ˜€

But its rare for me to play such characters as any kind of canon playthough, or one that I seriously care about. I’m usually always hovering somewhere between ‘generally nice but here to make money’ and ‘Really nice guy who will take tough decisions if he has to’. So I’m usually some variety of neutral, tending towards Good rather than Evil. (What can I say – I just want to be Doctor Who!)

Edit: And you even like RE6, Franz! How are we not best friends?! ๐Ÿ˜€

On 3DS: Shin Megami Tensei IV, I think I’m about 1/2 way done with it. At some point after I reached Shibuya I got a glitch where I looked like I was moving around underground instead of on the map and then the screen went black (not even the map screen was there, only the HUD was still visible), that occurred after I went to a demon instance map and beat the demon, then left, then headed back to Shibuya (to heal), and then when I reached shibuya that happened.

Guys, forget games – clearly what we should be doing is buying one of those solid gold PS4s they’re selling in the Arab Emirates. Only 8,500 quid – a steal really… Oh to be one of the 1%, eh?

Anyway, given that there still isn’t anything I want to play out, I’m about ready to write this year off for original releases. Instead, I’m turning my attention to what next (or current I suppose) gen console to buy. Not sure I’m ready to jump just yet, but I’m starting to think about it at least. At the moment I’m torn – the PS4 looks like the safer bet with the better lineup, but I’m pretty sure that I want the Xbox 1 more. It just seems more appealing for some reason, and it does have the Halo games coming soon.

I’ll repair to my meditation chamber and muse on it some more – (my solid gold meditation chamber of course).

How are you finding it? Personally, I felt it was the weakest of the series (even Rhapsodia which tied into Suiko IV was marginally better, and I love SRPG’s)… but thankfully Suikoden V came along. Hope Konami makes another in the series soon.

On topic: Got bored of Destiny… I really can’t understand the appeal so many have for it and fell for the hype. So, gone back to GTA Online on Xbox 360 and Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate on PS4 (though I might fire up Watch_Dogs as the new DLC for season pass holders is out today apparently).

I really enjoy it. The sailing bit gets boring, but gets much less time-consuming thanks to you-know-who later on. Some of the mini-games are very enjoyable, too. It was my 2nd Suikoden game I first played (Tactics being the first).

I’ve finished Suiko IV… while it does pick up a bit, compared to the others it’s still weaker. Suiko 1 and II are my personal favorites, specially the second. The minigames in it were awesome. If you can, I strongly suggest looking for the earlier ones and giving them a shot.

In terms of gameplay, not the third one. It’s a bit different from the rest of them. The rest of em have the same battle system, only IV has 4 characters per party rather than 6. Good candidates are both the first and the fifth one.

Looks, and sounds, a LOT better than the original PC port or the original PS1 version.

There’s the option to only replace the MIDI with the PS1 music, or you can replace the songs with various stuff from The Black Mages and other ‘official’, better sounding, remakes.

The peep(s) behind it went though a LOT of trouble to replace all the loops all proper like.

Fucking.Fantastic.

Even got the GCI stuff replace with BETTER looking versions.

Plus two graphical upgrades.
One that smooths out/fixes the majority of character and static world models.
Plus another that fixes stuff like the text, Triple Triad, and the pictures for most of the stuff.

Dark Souls 2.

I’m flip-flopping between really enjoying and merely enduring this one. It certainly doesn’t have quite the same special magic about it that made the first 2 games, but it has it moments. Drangleic is mostly a pretty dull and uninspiring setting, the locations having almost no narrative and occasionally with bosses that feel completely out of place for the area (this is particularly the case in the optional side areas). Neither do the various locations seem to connect to each other in anything like an organic way. Add in that the NPCs are a pretty forgettable bunch (there’s been no real standouts for me so far, but Gavlan is pretty funny), and well… its all quite disappointing really.

Except that like I said, it does have its moments when you think ‘Ahh – now that’s more like it!’ Seeing the ship make its ghostly entrance in No-Man’s Wharf was awesome (and enlivened an otherwise awful level). The Executioner’s Chariot was fantastic, and felt like something out of Fighting Fantasy, which From Software have been quoted as saying they used as inspiration for these games. Really enjoyed smashing the crap out of those Ruin Sentinels as well – I knew keeping a strike weapon handy would pay off! They looked really cool though, all spindly and jerky like the Thin Men from X-COM: Enemy Unknown.

Mostly though, the game feels like its treading water rather than treading new ground. Hopefully Bloodborne will show the way forward, because although there are a few interesting changes here and there, Dark Souls 2 does have a ‘going through the motions’ feel. Its laudable that they made the game so long, but perhaps that just illustrates that unless you have an enormous budget to do justice to all the areas, it might be best to go for a less is more approach. Because there’s a lot of really drab, underdesigned levels, recycled assets and (even by the series standards) rather scarce amount of interesting lore and truly iconic baddies. The Pursuer in particular feels like a tragically wasted opportunity, and could have been great as a recurring ‘Nemesis’ style enemy chasing you throughout the game in awkward locations.

So basically, it could have been worse, but it should have been better.

I just waded through Drangleic Castle, met the Queen and was directed to a secret passage to get to the King… and its full of new enemies!

When I saw them, I just thought ‘Oh go away… give a man some peace!!’

First of all, I have returned home earlier in the mornin and have been out all nite. Super Smash is out for 3DS, but unfortunately for me, I have no interest in the game or the series itself. Now that that’s outta the way, I picked up my preorders for Ar Nosurge, Natural Doctrine and Fairy Fencer F. Dunno which one I should play first. Any suggestions?

Finally finished Dark Souls 2. The tale of the tape was 27 bosses and there were at least 3 more optional ones that I skipped because my character had no beef with them (King Vendrick, Royal Rat Authority and Ancient Dragon were all non hostiles as far as I was concerned). Clocked in at around the same amount of time for the other games, but it felt much longer due to the game having more locations and more bosses. Overall, it was much *much* easier than the previous games. I cruised through most of it, only really running into one truly challenging, ultra-frustrating moment.

But that section was… ARRGGH! It was so blatantly ridiculous that I looked online afterwards to see what people made of it, and was comforted to see that the area (and specific place I had trouble with) was indeed considered to be the game’s hardest and most annoying sections. Plus I had the *exact* worst choice of character for that section – the config that you absolutely do not want for the area. (It was a sort of semi flooded area hampering movement as lots of mages fire homing spells at you, as you’re being ambushed by stealth guys and clobbered by powerful melee fellows who all aren’t impeded by the water – and I was playing as an ultra slow, melee-only, tank character with no real magic defense and no ranged attacks of any kind).

Fun, fun, fun…

That said though, as frustrating as it was, it was still easier than Anor Londo’s Greatbow sniper gallery and the infamous duo of Ornstein and Smough from the first Dark Souls. But it was damn annoying. And its a shame really, as I was quite enjoying that level up until that point. The challenge of dodging the spells and wading through water and dodging ambushs was good tense fun, and pummeling those spellcasting slags was so cathartic when I got to them each time. But that specific part was just outrageous. I still don’t agree with the calls of ‘Bad Level Design’ that people are throwing at it though – it was after all my own choice to use Heavy armour, Melee weapons exclusively, to not use the bow just for this occasion even though it would have made life easier. And it was also my choice to not go online and summon helpers (because I don’t play this or any game online). I just didn’t want to compromise how my character played, so it was my pride which forced me to do it the hard way – not the game.

So yeah, it was a good game. Lacked the atmosphere of the other 2 games, but it was still a fine experience in its own right. It never quite hit the same highs as the other games, but I still had a really good time with it. Might give the DLC a try at some point, but for now its time to bask in my victory and prepare myself mentally for The Evil Within.

Playing Disgaea – Afternoon of Darkness some more… Forgot how to access a bunch of stuff in it, and online guides aren’t helping. Trying to unlock the dungeons from the character next to the promotions/voting character (thats where the Prinny after Prinny god is Chou Mou or whatever). Also trying to unlock the last class – the mage class that starts with Terra spells. Haven’t found the character when I’ve been persuading by force at all. (This is a replay; after I had a memory card get stolen)

Finally beat Zetta, and the demonhall mirror bosses.

Can’t remember how to get Don Joaquin or the three power ranger knockoffs to join (2 die on me almost immediately when I start the fight). I’ve seen Astro Carter show up as playable in youtube videos, but have no idea how to do that.

Still missing a bunch of music from the sound test menu but actually have like 300 billion HL so I can afford it, its just not showing up a bunch of the songs, which says I’m missing a few endings.. unfortunately the ending info on online guides I already have ๐Ÿ˜ก

Farming for stuff to make it easy to powerlevel. Tempted to start transmigrating my 9999 characters to try to skill them up more, but avoiding it until I pull out some of the high end weapons and armsmaster stats. Trying to find another super robo suit – exitted out at level 100 in my robo suit trying to find more awesome hands to steal with

400 hours into this game and I still haven’t finished everything…

Had a go at the first DLC Crown of the Sunken King and Holy moly -the enemies in this don’t mess about! It wasn’t too bad until I got to Elana, the Squalid Queen, but she gave me a royal thrashing.

I’m not always in the biggest hurry to be an early adopter of things.
I tried skyrim when it first came out and was disgusted by the consolized interface.
So I waited 3-4 months until they came out with SkyUI and now its a staple for me.

Any who,
I’ve finally moved on to CSS from 1.6,
seven years later.
๐Ÿ™‚

I like it.
Having a ball sharpening up my skills, although the bots are still handing me my axx.
I’ve been scouring gamebannana for all the best maps and best models and mods and swollen my install from 2 gigs to 14.

I tried CS:GO, but unfortunately for everything that I liked about it there was something I hated about it.
But what made me finally give up on it was the way they’ve made it intentionally difficult to add 3rd party maps except through their source store.
And some of the more sophisticated CSS maps I’ve found are as good looking as what GO has to offer IMO.

So I figure in 7 more years I might move on to GO after they’ve opened it up to freer modding and mapping there’s some interface mods so that I dont have to be bombarded with news about things that they want me to buy every time I boot up the game.

Spent the evening being utterly brutalized by the Fume Knight in the Dark Souls 2 DLC ‘Crown of the Old Iron King’, And eventually I had to concede defeat – I didn’t even have enough spirit left in me for it to count as a proper ragequit. The fight is utterly insane. I can manage the first half okay, but as soon as he powers up its a different story. A short story that goes something like ‘You Died’. I could of course summon help, but my pride won’t let me. I just can’t bear to break my code of not summoning other players now (especially since I soloed Elana, Sihn and the Blue Smelter Demon), but I have to accept that I just can’t do damage anywhere near fast enough to live with his crazy powerful attack patterns in the latter half of the fight. Oh well, maybe I’ll get around to New Game plus sometime and try it again sometime later.

So… really deflated right now.

It does give me some crumbs of comfort to read that the success ratio against this boss is a miserable 7% worldwide! Just 7% of people who attempt the fight have won… and now I know why. At least I can say that I was involved in a victory against him (I helped another player kill him before I even attempted to kill him myself!) But in my gaming world… he’s got my number. Gah, the bitter taste of defeat… damn youuuu, Dark souuulls!

->Would have been a C+, if not for the very cheap price of 15USD and managing to look so nice on said budget.

Shadow of Mordor (PC):

Yeah, I like it.
It’s a fun game that punishes you for failing by making the fights harder the next time.
I just wish there was a little bit more, meat, to the game.

Having basically killed everything and reached a truly mighty soul level of around 250, I’m ready to consider moving on from Dark Souls 2. With all the 3 DLCs done and dusted, I don’t really have much else that I can do. But yeah, that game’s real good.

Just started The Evil Within, and it seems… okay. I’m only about an hour or so in. It isn’t remotely scary, and the storytelling/characters/plot are not exactly filling me with confidence as to their quality/ But then again, the game also hasn’t done anything to make an enemy of me yet either. I know some people are complaining about the letterbox big black bars, but they don’t bother me in the slightest.

I guess I’m not sure what I think about the game yet, other than I really wish they’d let me get to know my character Sebastian a bit more. I want to like him, I do kind of like him, but I feel like he’s not getting enough lines, considering he’s not actually a silent protagonist. Also (and this might sound a bit odd considering its Halloween soon), I’m just not really in the mood for survival horror right now.

What I really want to play is Bayonetta 2, but there’s no way I’m buying a Wii U just for that.

TIE Fighter rules. It will always be with me… forever.

Still hammering away at The Evil Within. I have to say that though this game isn’t perfect by any means, I think some of the critics have been (unusually for them), extremely harsh. There are some odd design choices now and then, the plot and characters are acceptable at best, and some sections really push it with the trial and error gameplay.

But even so, its a good game IMO. At times it even feels like a great game. Combat is actually really fun when you get into it, because the survival horror aspect is not just a marketing slogan for once. Ammo is scarce, but if you use it wisely, make good use of your AOE weapons to catch bunches of monsters then burn em all at once, mix in some stealth kills… its good, intense fun. And sure, it isn’t the scariest game ever, but some of the scenes in the hospital place where Seb goes to power up, have been scarier than anything I saw in RE4. Frankly I’d take this game over RE4 any day of the week.

It has its problems, and they aren’t trivial ones. But the critics are really laying the boot in, and a lot of much worse games get away with much lighter treatment from them. TEW is about as good as I could have hoped for. Shinji’s still got it!

Well there’s also the fact that the Ivory King fight is easily one of the best sources of souls for high level (200+) characters in the game.

Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

I haven’t made it into the meat of the game yet but I like how certain aspects of each franchise creep into the others. Like how the dialogue box and its sound effects are from PW. The models for Layton and Luke are noticeably different and Luke’s voice is higher. I think they used the voice actor from the Layton anime Eternal Diva for him.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U – The graphics do look a lot better than the 3DS version but there is something wrong with the gravity. It feels really weird to play this game and I tried 3 different control schemes now. So I’m disappointed about that. It’s definitely not like the 3DS version. I hope they come out with an update that fixes it or speeds it up or something cause it’s making it hard for me to get into this game… not just that but there is no adventure mode or anything either. This is by far my least favorite Smash Bros. game and for other reasons too.

Haven’t played it. Not interested much in a South Park RPG. Though from what I’ve seen, I liked the approach. Still not thrilled…

About Alpha Protocol though…

Man there’s some serious Yellow Journalism outhere. I mean, this game got SMOKED by every magazine and so called "game-journalists" and reviewers…

Really unfair things were said, and the AI nowhere near as bad as they made it out to be. As if MGS had any coherent AI whatsoever in any game.

AP has one of the best Level-Design I ever saw in the past 9 years.

And the story and dialogue is by far it’s best feature. This game dared to waltz into the fire and took many risks with it’s approach.

To be fair to the critics, I think they had some justification about Alpha Protocol, at least in terms of gameplay. The actual gameplay is nowhere near as polished as it really needed to be. That’s a budget issue mostly though, and out of Obsidian’s hands. Basically they had 2 choices – make the ambitious spy RPG that they wanted to make, or compromise and produce something less interesting that would have worked properly within the budget they had.

Some may say they may the wrong choice, but I support it. As I’ve said many times, I would rather play a game that interests me and grips me, even if it only works as intended 50% of the time, over a game that bores me to death, but which looks and plays like a dream 100% of the time. There’s more to a good game than graphics and controls, *but* if a game doesn’t have them (as AP frequently doesn’t), then its going to have a really tough time convincing most people to play it, no matter how great an experience it is.

Many of the (British) critics I read at the time, did actually like the world, story and characters, along with the generally excellent standard of the writing. But the presentation, graphics and controls… I’m not happy that a game like this can’t get a break from at least some critics, but I guess I can see why they rated it as they did. The brutal truth is that to sell copies and generate goodwill on a large scale, a game has to look and play the part. Don’t get me wrong – I think people who judge games in those terms missed a *fantastic* game in Alpha Protocol, but that’s just the way it goes unfortunately.

Sega just seem to be cursed these days. Look at some of the games they’ve developed and published in recent times – Alpha Protocol, Vanquish, Bayonetta 1, Condemned: Criminal Origins, Valkyria Chronicles… Not a dud among them – all fabulous games, but none of them were a sales hit. And that’s on top of the premature failure of the Dreamcast (which I still consider to be the best console of its generation).

It sucks, but again that’s just the way the cookie crumbles…

Basically, I loved AP’s story, world and characters, but I don’t really like *playing* the game all that much. I still consider it to be a great game, and I care about it more than I do Human Revolution or PD. But even as someone who usually doesn’t really care that much about the gameplay in RPGs particularly, I thought AP’s gameplay was pretty weak.

Personally, I will not be fair to the critics when they flatout give it a 2/10 because some bugs (which they’re not very intrussive compared to… Oblivion) and because the AI stutters or does not respond logically.
The controls are just fine, when you have "poor" controls and good lvl design you have, Castlevania, not bad game at all.

That being said, AP doesn’t have bad or poor controls, it needed some polishing, yeah. But I really loved the Missions, the Enemy Positioning, the environment in general showed some real love.
But being the first game of what, at the time , was a possible franchise. It caught me off-guard. The game isn’t half as broken as they made it out to be.
The game is really forgiving and the boss fights were really well designed and challenging. You can be really methodical. I think people who come from ME felt whiplashed by the bosses in AP.

I find the gameplay kindof addictive too. I don’t know how you’ve built Thorton, but I went kung-fu on their asses. And it was fucking badass and amazing.

And really the graphics were bashed? Men… what can I say, to me the graphics still holds to this day. Gaming culture these days is embarassing.

Well, any critic that gives 2/10 to pretty much any game that isn’t some Steam trash, is pretty dodgy anyway. I’d be very suspicious of what such a critic had to say about anything, to be honest. 2/10 is the kind of score that should be reserved for games that literally do not work, that constantly crash and where controls do something different to what they are supposed to etc.

My point was that the critics that I saw didn’t react this way to the game – they mostly gave it scores ranging in the 5-6 of 10 bracket, and that I think is fair enough from a technical standpoint. I would simply argue that judging any RPG purely on technical issues is pure folly, as their strengths usually lie elsewhere than the gameplay and controls. I don’t often agree with critics, but AP is the kind of Mid-Tier game (in terms of production values and level of gamer interest/anticipation) that you can usually get a reasonably honest answer out of them. Because if a game isn’t a really big AAA game, they don’t have to worry about upsetting people if they say bad things about it, and are unlikely to have been overly ‘incentivised’ by the publisher to praise it etc – they save that kind of bribery for their AAA games).

We’ll have to agree to disagree on the controls and gameplay in AP. Like I say, I love that game but I consider the gameplay to be deeply flawed. I usually take a martial arts character, because I have no faith in the shooting in that game, nor the stealth (as well as the fact that the sneaking animation looks utterly ridiculous, like he’s some sort of scuttling rodent). Much easier and more reliable to simply run up and whack the enemies in close combat – that at least does work properly.

I really love the game, and I hoped for a sequel too. But the fact is that whilst I loved the overall experience, the gameplay itself has put me off playing the game in the way I replay other favourite RPGs (which despite their length, I’ve played dozens and dozens of times).

Well, any critic that gives 2/10 to pretty much any game that isn’t some Steam trash, is pretty dodgy anyway. I’d be very suspicious of what such a critic had to say about anything, to be honest. 2/10 is the kind of score that should be reserved for games that literally do not work, that constantly crash and where controls do something different to what they are supposed to etc.

Check Destructoid. They smoked the game.

Also other Reviewers (Angry Joe, IGN, Gamespot) felt like they didn’t actually took the time to explore the game.

My point was that the critics that I saw didn’t react this way to the game – they mostly gave it scores ranging in the 5-6 of 10 bracket, and that I think is fair enough from a technical standpoint. I would simply argue that judging any RPG purely on technical issues is pure folly, as their strengths usually lie elsewhere than the gameplay and controls. I don’t often agree with critics, but AP is the kind of Mid-Tier game (in terms of production values and level of gamer interest/anticipation) that you can usually get a reasonably honest answer out of them. Because if a game isn’t a really big AAA game, they don’t have to worry about upsetting people if they say bad things about it, and are unlikely to have been overly ‘incentivised’ by the publisher to praise it etc – they save that kind of bribery for their AAA games).

I think the game was a 7/10 all things considered, accentuating it’s negativities. The Dialogue System and it’s save system is so inviting of Replayability that I reloaded same save games many times to see how the paths branched. And it also was amazing to see that YOUR CHOICES ACTUALLY HAD AN EFFECT.
Compare to most games so far as 2010 goes, it was one faction or the other most of the time.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on the controls and gameplay in AP. Like I say, I love that game but I consider the gameplay to be deeply flawed. I usually take a martial arts character, because I have no faith in the shooting in that game, nor the stealth (as well as the fact that the sneaking animation looks utterly ridiculous, like he’s some sort of scuttling rodent). Much easier and more reliable to simply run up and whack the enemies in close combat – that at least does work properly.

I guess so…
The shooting is pretty dodgy, specially in early game. I contribute that to the case of trying to blend RPG elements with the shooting. They didn’t know how to combine that, and it shows.
But when you max your weapon of choice it works pretty well i dare say. And as usual, with the RPG elements, the shotgun is bullshit. But hey, Vincent Limit Breaks in FF7 weren’t any useful too right?.
The Assault Rifle works pretty fine though. I have no quarrels with that weapon, even in early game it works properly. Maybe it takes a bit too long to charge the precision shots.

I don’t know, I’ll have to disagree with the stealth. I had more fun with Stealth in this game than with MGS3 so far. Evasion makes things really forgiving and Shadow Operative is downright broken. But it serves it’s purpose pretty well.

I really love the game, and I hoped for a sequel too. But the fact is that whilst I loved the overall experience, the gameplay itself has put me off playing the game in the way I replay other favourite RPGs (which despite their length, I’ve played dozens and dozens of times).

I seriously hope for a sequel too. Or at least a Spiritual Successor with another Publisher.

Well, I never pay attention to what IGN, Gamespot and Destructoid have to say anyway. They simply have too many vested interests and have been caught numerous times falsifying reviews and blatantly showing favoritism to industry big hitters who can afford (what is effectively) bribery.

The point with AP, is that if Sega hadn’t tried to over hype it, and make out like it was going to be this AAA James Bond/Jack Bauer simulator (the first time I ever heard of this game was when an excitable friend who likes that sort of thing, enthused about it as we were riding on the bus one morning). At the time, I dismissed it because such AAA stuff rarely interests me. I only became interested when I found out Obsidian were involved. Even then I managed my expectations as I always do, but most people (my friend included) do not do this, and always buy into industry hype.

It was hyped up to be something it wasn’t. He hated the game, I loved it. The tale of this industry right there.

A new Advance Wars would be pretty cool. I have played the first two but not the DS ones. I should probably fix that some day, but playing AW2 just reminded me of how much I suck at strategy games. It was an all-around frustrating experience lol.
If you’re really itching for some more AW, there might be a fan translation of the older ones before the GBA that were never released outside of Japan. I don’t know if they exist though.

Played some Smash 4 with my younger bro today. He’s a lot better than me now because I mostly stick to the single player stuff but he has over 1000 battles in For Glory, which is about 100x more than I have lmao…

Advance Wars: Dual Strike is okay and has some interesting new mechanics, but the Tag Power system is just broken. If both your COs level up their power meter, then they both get to have a turn one after the other, reactivating all your units to move and act again! Do this with characters like Eagle who has a power to then have *another* turn and it just gets crazy! Its a great game, but the new characters aren’t that good, not all the old characters are in it, and the new enemies are a bit ‘meh’ (except Jugger, who is the best character in the game).

Days of Ruin (or Dark Conflict depending on where you live) is a bit more hardcore in every sense. Its set in a different world, isn’t really played for laughs anymore and is much harder. Its still a great game, but its very different to the previous games. There also isn’t much choice of COs – the cast is large, but you only use a few of the COs with any regularity (which to be fair is like the first Advance Wars, but Andy, Max and Sami are much more fun than the Dark Conflict bunch IMO).

I want an Advance Wars where you can fight space battles and have starships, jetpack soldiers as units etc etc, and also have groundside missions that are similar to the older games (with tanks, planes etc). Sturm was from outer space, so why not? In recent times, we had Fire Emblem: Awakening from the same guys, which was a fine game but not as engaging as Advance Wars IMO.

I like escort missions, if they’re done right. Heck, I didn’t even have any complaints in RE 4 when you escorted Ashley. But if the AI isn’t competent to stay out of harm’s way, and/or if you can’t tell the escorted person what to do(like hold position, hide here, hide there), it’s automatically not a fun escort mission, imo.

The thing is, you young ‘uns probably don’t have the horrific traumas that us ‘seasoned campaigners’ have. You know how old time gamers are always bellyaching about how games used to be harder back in ‘the olden times’?

Well, escort missions are a prime example. Games like X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Goldeneye 007, Wing Commander etc etc were all sensational games, but they also had some of the most brutally hard escort missions you can imagine. Trying to defend Natalya as she works on the computer in the Control Center on 007 difficulty ranks as one of the most excrutiatingly hard thing I’ve ever done in any game. And the sight of a wing of Jalthi blowing up my Draymen transports at the end of a long and arduous mission in Wing Commander, when I’m almost back to The Tiger’s Claw… it haunts my dreams to this day ๐Ÿ˜€

There are just no words to describe the hours and *days* and *months* of torment, escort missions gave me in games like this. The games were fantastic, so you had to keep playing, but you would fail again and again and again and again and again and again…

And again and again and again and again and again…

๐Ÿ˜€ I miss a lot of things about how gaming used to be, but this is one thing that I am happy to have stay in the past. Escort missions are still a royal pain, but they’re nowhere near as irritating as they used to be (though there are still some throwbacks).

I found the Escort missions in X-Wing and TIE Fighter to be rather… fun… Of course in the latter I flew in a TIE Defender or Missile Gunboat (With max load of Advance Concussion Missiles) and it was difficult, but still fun.

Escort missions, can be terrible I admit… I’ve been in some bad ones in the Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors games, but one of the worst was in Vandal Hearts. The target had low HP and was one shotted by a archer class first time. Second time, mage blasted them… In the end just had my mage Zohar, Phase Shift the damn battlefield then zerged them.

Otherwise, he’s going to find out exactly how much pain he put me through… ๐Ÿ˜€ All for a lousy medal, but I *had* to do it! That game nearly drove me insane at times, and most of it was down to damned escort missions! Here are the Kilrathi in their super quick, super punishing ships and here’s my slow ass, weak armour transports that I have to defend *all* of…

She stands at the computer decrypting for like 5 minutes of real time, not moving even when grenades are thrown at her feet (in which case she’s dead and you fail). You have to frantically run about killing respawning guys for that whole time, and they focus pretty much solely on her. So whilst its easy to kill them, its just insane because hse dies so easily. And they come on lower and upper levels of that room (which is pretty open anyway).

And that’s just one section of the level – you still have all the rest of it to do after that! On 007, it was just crazy hard.

– She can’t act stupid.
– Her stamina won’t deplete that quickly.

Deal with the guards following you with a combination of smoke grenades, thermal googles and Mk22 = what’s supposed to be an annoying part becomes a walk in the park. I’d say that out of all the main chapters, Snake Eater had at least the best balance between actual gameplay and cutscenes. Sons of Liberty+Guns of the Patriots, on the other hand… Apart from that, I’ve personally enjoyed Eater’s setting and having to rely on camouflage. The Soliton Radar makes things way too easy.

Haven’t realized about the tranq her. Good tip. I forgot that.

Real men play without play in Extreme without Radar.

I thought that the gameplay in MGS3 was so jarring that it has the most boring boss fights in the series. The Health System is one of the biggest failures.

Camouflage was ok. If only you hadn’t have to enter a stupid menu (with long loading time) every time you change terrain.

I guess that’s the final verdict on the dis likable things in the series. I enjoy the series point up to a certain point. I agree that there was far too many retconned story arc’s and "nanomachines" that I listen people complain about. Which I agree, again, to a certain degree. After 2 & 3 (specially 3) I think it’s kind of stupid to get mad a game to pull stuff like that on it’s storyline.

To me 4 if it had the ending were Snake and Otacon were executed as it was originally planned. It would’ve served as a nice conclusion to the series. Instead it got kinda ruined or to say the least unsatisfying conclusion to me. But I still enjoyed it a lot more than 3 or 2.

As far as gameplay goes in 4, I think it had some beautiful levels. Specially the first Infiltration sequence on the final Act.

The first MGS was okay, but not really my kind of thing. The fourth game was so bloated and pleased with itself, that it frequently seemed to forget to be a game at all. I just don’t find it as hilarious when Snake hides under cardboard boxes and oil cans as other people seem to.

Gameplay feels similar to both Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea, but what I find boring about it so far is all the story. Had to sit through over a half hour just to get into a battle. C’mon, Atlus…too bad they’re gone.

Update: I gave up on Tears. There’s just WAY too much story and not enough action. Like Jak and Ratchet, I NEED MORE ACTION THAN THIS!

That sounds like something I’d like, lol. One of my favorite JRPG’s ever has a 45-minute series of cutscenes near the beginning. ๐Ÿ˜›
Did they ever add English voice-overs to TtT2? I remember reading that it would be Japanese voices with English subtitles only…

All JRPGs are like that IMO Lefance – they have an all action intro, then a deathly pain barrier of anywhere up to 8-10 hours where basically nothing happens as you try desperately to escape from ‘Startville’, before the games finally burst into life. 13-2 doesn’t really get going until the first time jump to the ruins where that giant hand attacks you.

But from there on, the game rules. And the pain barrier in 13-2 is actually only a couple of hours (though it sure feels like more… New Bodhum… doing odd jobs and looking for cats in town… arrrrrrggh!) Reminds me of Kingdom Hearts 2, and that seemingly never ending section at the start in Twilight Town. If I never see ‘The Usual Spot’ again, it will be too soon!

If I was captured by a Jigsaw style serial killer and locked in one of those crazy trap rooms, where my choices were ‘Play through Kingdom Hearts 2’s intro again or be turned inside out and thrown into a bath full of salt’, I’d need some time to figure out which would be the more agonizing.

I *never* want to play that intro in Twilight Town again. Doing odd jobs around town, waking up and doing the same crap day after day after day after day. I get what they were going for, but it went on far too long after making its point about the banality of life, the daily grind and feeling like there’s something more out there that you could be/ should be doing etc. Its like that awful bit in Shenmue where you have to work undercover as a fork lift truck driver – and actually have to do the job, all day, for several days! I felt like I was going crazy playing that game, thinking ‘Why am I doing this – its so boring, I think I’m actually going to die from it’.

But yes, the sequences at the start of JRPGs are usually the worst. Whatever the sleepy hamlet your hero is in happens to be called in each game, be it IntroTown or ProloguesBurg, its always the same soporific ‘You lead a *painfully* ordinary existence, and wouldn’t it be great to get out of here and do something epic and adventrous?’ Yes! Yes it fricking would, so let’s get *on* with it already!

And just on the subject of Kingdom Hearts… Yeah, I’m not a big fan of those games, but they have their moments. For me they served as a useful reminder of how good a lot of the old Disney stuff and characters are, as unfasionable as it may be nowadays. Characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are legendary, and it’d been a long time since I’d seen them in anything good (like Quackshot or Mickey’s Magical Quest etc). I think the Final Fantasy stuff is less successful, a nice idea but I don’t think most of it is used very well, and I say that a big Final Fantasy fan. The Disney characters and worlds are the standouts in that series for me.

Depends what games you play, really. Some platinums you can get in no time (Secret of Monkey Island for example), but some require such ludicrous amounts of work and time that it really isn’t worth it, unless the game has you hooked and you get it just by dint of playing it a lot.

I’ve had a PS3 for over 5 years, and I still only have a handful of Platinum Trophies. Lost some when my old PS3 died, but it probably wasn’t much more than 10 Platinums I would think. And I always finish my games, and try to get my full money’s worth. Its just that most Platinum trophies ask for too much, and it stops being fun.

Beat Zone of the Enders: 2nd Runner HD yesterday (glad that’s over too… very frustrating lol…) and playing Shining Force EXA right now.

I think it’s pretty good, despite it being the first Armored Core game I’ve ever played. It’s very fun engaging enemy Nexts, but very difficult at times. At the same time, it feels rewarding when you defeat them. It may get repetitive in terms of missions(destroy some Normals, destroy these Nexts, destroy this, destroy that), but if you don’t mind that, it’s very fun. It can be frustrating when you get destroyed in some missions(hard mode especially, it’s pretty brutal at times)either due to how your mech is customized, or pilot error. :p

I’d say give it a try. If you played previous AC games, I’m not sure how you’ll like it, because I imagine fans of the older ones either didn’t like AC 4, or had mixed feelings about it. Oh, and the soundtrack (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JBlWOQ6WHY&index=16&list=PL86B01520A0E84F93) is great (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbj8KF5us9Q&index=6&list=PL86B01520A0E84F93).

Lol, don’t worry, I’ll be getting to that too. ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m just playing them in the order they were released.

Currently on RE 3, then I’ll get to Survivor(to this day, I STILL have not figured out how to save in RE: Survivor. Like in the past, I’ll just have to play it in one sitting).

So where are you fitting RE:0 into this? I marathoned the RE series a year or so back, and I couldn’t decide whether it should be done first, or after RE1, seeing as how it kind of screws the narrative flow if you view its events before RE1.

I didn’t bother with the Gun Survivor games, though. HUNK is the best, but the spin offs like Gun Survivor and Outbreak etc are all awful IMO. I still think ORC is underrated though. On the off-chance you’re off for it, I’d be up for co-op in RE5 or 6. No pressure, just keep it in mind, hey?

I played REmake before RE Zero, from what I’ve remembered. The only thing I found confusing was how did Rebecca end up at the Spencer mansion. She’s just…there.

Vrykolas
04-21-2015, 10:44 PM
I never understood that either. She starts near the mansion (because Alpha Team find Bravo’s helicopter in the RE1 intro and they are walking/running distance from the mansion). But then she boards a train, takes a lengthy high speed trip to another facility, which opens out into some areas from RE2 which are under/very near the RPD. But judging by the location of the RPD which is in the heart of Raccoon City, that would mean she’s a *huge* distance away from the mansion at that point (because the mansion is up in the mountains outside town). But coming out of the facility, she is somehow on a ridge overlooking the mansion???

I also have problems deciding who to play in RE1. Chris’ scenario makes sense as it follows on directly from RE:0 and shows what happens next for Rebecca. It also makes sense for Code Veronica as Chris is surprised to learn that Wesker is alive in that (Wesker is seemingly killed in Chris’ scenario by the Tyrant, whereas he escapes in Jill’s scenario). But then again, Barry’s betrayal and even the ‘You almost became a Jill Sandwich’ line are now canon as of the end of RE3 and some dialogue from Revelations 2.

In the end, I usually choose Jill, as I think it makes for the more interesring game and her final confrontation scene with Wesker is better IMO. It does feel odd having to wait until the the second half of Code Veronica to play as Chris though!

Rok:
I like ORC, but I don’t have a mic headset and that would probably be an issue in that game for co-op. Not having a mic doesn’t really affect RE5 and 6, because you’re usually pretty close to each other and the partner commands are good enough to let people know what’s on your mind. And there’s always messaging for the few times when you need to say something specific. But in ORC with 4 people on a team, it could get a little awkward. Not sure what the partner commands are in that game (I’ve never tried co-op in ORC, but I done loads of RE5 and 6 co-op).

Anyway, my door is always open to my FF Shrine brethren ๐Ÿ˜€ If anybody wants to do some RE or Dark Souls 2 co-op, then just send a message and we’ll try and sort something out. Just remember – no mic. (And no, I won’t be getting one – the horror stories of abuse over those things put me off).

ORC is far more linear than re 5 and 6 combined.
and shorter than homefront. (not counting the half that was sold as dlc. which i dont have in the ps3 version but bought in the xbox version)

The issue is that it doesn’t tell you when someone gets KO’d, and doesn’t direct you to them. So unless you monitor everyone else like a hawk, you’re not going to know when it happens. I tried playing last night in fact, and this was pretty much what happened. Anticipating this, I played as Bertha myself and tried to keep an eye on everyone, which mostly worked.

Without the partner commands (and even just the Praise/Thanks buttons), it all felt a little unengaging. I still love playing that game, but IMO if you’re going to get no feedback at all, then you might as well be offline. That’s why I think games like Dark Souls and RE5 and 6 strike the right balance. The gestures and partner commands allow for some interaction between players without having to resort to headsets and have people chattering away or abusing you.

And Dodo… Ah, Code Veronica, one of my favorites. Makes me want to play it myself, but there’s no way I’m rooting around to unpack my PS2! ๐Ÿ˜€

Vrykolas

I was never wild about RE:0 really. Feels like a filler game, and most of it seems pretty far fetched. Just doesn’t ever really feel like any of that *actually* happened before RE:!. And I *really* hate how the inventory works in that game, having to drop items literally just on the floor. It felt so lame lugging stuff back to the entrance hall and just kind of arranging it all in a corner… daft. Its a solid RE game, but there’s nothing that memorable about it IMO. Peaks too early as well (the train is by far the best section of that game IMO).

But yeah… Code Veronica. I just love that game. The Ashfords are such enjoyably insane nutcases, and its got that awesome fight against the Tyrant in the plane, the creepy carousel in the attic, the return of Wesker, the re-created version of Spencer’s mansion. Its just awesome, like Resident Evil on Acid.

You’ve got to love how Chris Redfield has been through so much crazy stuff by now that when he’s running from giant laser beams being shot by fericious tribesmen in full traditional get-up in a lost ancient underground city during RE5, he’s like ‘Just another day at the office…’ ๐Ÿ˜€

I’m still on REmake HD with Chris. So far, I’m doing alright, despite almost running entirely out of ammo at certain points(although, I’m probably doing about the same like in the original Gamecube version). The real challenge will be the second half, because of the hunters.

Edit: Just finished REmake HD. 13 hours, 50 minutes, 50 seconds of play time, 91 monsters killed, 274 ammo used, 12 ink ribbons used, 22 health items used(and I died twice, once to Plant 42, and twice for stupidly firing while carrying the fuel at the underground lab lol). Doesn’t really give me a grade, but I think I did a good job, despite taking a long time. :p


Vrykolas
04-24-2015, 05:21 AM
The game’s pretty draconian with its grading, unless you’re super quick and don’t really save at all. The speedrun trophy for the game is 3 hours, which… forget it! I like to enjoy my time in a game, and doing it in under 3 hours would mean some *serious* hustle. I usually clock in at around 7 hours. That’s good enough for me.

Not a fan of speedrunning in general. I like to take my time and enjoy games. In the early RE games, I’m pretty obsessive about gathering all the herbs and ammo, and spend quite a while ferrying stuff about to the item boxes. Usually means I end up with a vast treasure hoard of ribbons, health items and enough ammo to arm a small country but that’s not the point. The STARS motto is ‘If it ain’t nailed down, swipe it’.Or at least it would be if I was running the unit ๐Ÿ˜€ Judging from how he acts in RE5, Chris seems to take this to heart, carting off priceless African treasures to fund his little war against Wesker!

Chris Redfield: International looter lol!

I’d also issue a general memo to people like Jill and Chris saying ‘When out on missions, try packing more than a knife, 9mm pistol and about 3 bullets!’ Barry’s got the right idea – his basic weapon is a magnum! He probably doesn’t take a shower without having a rocket launcher handy. You know… just in case.

At some point I surrendered to the This is a stealth game, so at least try and work with it’ and got on with the game much better than when I just blasted through as a combat Adam first time round. (Not a stealth game fan, but in limited doses, I can put up with them). Really looking forward to the sequel actually, and there’s not many games I can say that about.

On a semi-related note, I just finished playing Alpha Protocol again. Damn it Sega, just let them make a sequel! Its got some problems, but the good *far* outweighs the bad. World, characters, RPG elements, dialogue, all first rate.

(Not a stealth game fan, but in limited doses, I can put up with them). Really looking forward to the sequel actually, and there’s not many games I can say that about.

I absolutely loved it. Granted, I hadn’t played a shooter from start to finish since the original Xbox days, so I can’t really compare it to anything, but still. I enjoyed every second of it. Being able to complete missions in various different ways that I could choose from was awesome. I’m no fan of gunning in general, so the ability to complete the entire game without killing anyone was a very welcome feature to me. On the other hand, I actually like stealth and puzzle solving, so it was a no-brainer when it came to how I’d approach each scenario. The hardest parts of the game for me were the bosses since you HAVE to kill them, so I went into those fights with little experience under my belt.

The story and how it’s presented was also very well-done too. I liked how choices you make affect future events, including how your choices can backfire, but doing so never makes the game unbeatable (like my abilities being blocked at the third boss, which made that fight extremely difficult). The in-game world felt so alive because of all the readable backstory, which I’m a sucker for (see: Metroid Prime and Morrowind, two of my all-time favorites), and all of the interesting characters I met, all of whom I see as more than just characters- they are people. I grew attached to some, disgusted at others. All of this contributes to the overall tone of the dystopian future setting of the game, which made for an extremely immersive experience.

I too am looking forward to the sequel now. If it’s anything like HR, it will be good.


DoDoRay9000
04-25-2015, 05:18 PM
Actually, I think I’ll skip the Outbreak series, for now. It’s not that I think they’re bad, it just reminded me how frustrating they can be, especially because of the fact you can’t pause the game when you open the inventory menu, read files, or check the map. I can understand not being able to pause if you played it online, but offline? No thanks.

I’ll get started on RE 4 HD, and then The Umbrella Chronicles. I won’t play through Umbrella Chronicles entirely, I’ll just play the "Umbrella’s End" scenario, since it’s canon.

It’s $80+ on Amazon. The $59.99 price point on Gamestop is moot since they never have it in-stock and it’s currently unavailable on their website.
I would say that Xenoblade is actually worth more than $60, but Dragon is right not to take a chance like that. I always tell people to do whatever they can to borrow or rent it from someone rather than buy the 3DS version because that tiny screen does not do the game justice. They should have upscaled it to 1080p and made that available on Wii U instead.

Ah, nonsense! The Souls games are tough, but its by no means an unbeatable challenge. You’ve posted some impressive platinums on here, so give yourself a chance before writing yourself off! We’re a forums of winners, man! We’re… what’s that? Oh, seems I have to go and have my fingerprints taken. They weren’t happy about where I was sticking that saxophone either…

Seriously though, don’t be put off by the blurb on the internet. The Souls games are not impossible, and the difficulty does not strangle all fun from the experience. Beating these games doesn’t make you some kind of elite – it just means you’re someone who’s played a lot of a very good game!

Well, it still sounds like you’re selling yourself a bit short here. Its not for me to make any kind of insistence that you appreciate your own accomplishments, but I don’t think there’s any shame in accepting credit where its due. Different games make different demands of the player, require certain disciplines and talents that come naturally to some, but not to others. Different skillsets required, but still needing concentration and dedication.

So I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss perseverance, i.e the willpower needed to finish long and demanding tasks/games. It takes a lot of dedication to platinum JRPGs for example (and isn’t that the truth!) So having that perserverance to platinum games like Disgaea etc, is in itself a very useful and impressive trait, and one that many people lack. If a job seems too long, or needs too much commitment, then many will give up. Just take a quick swing through your friends list, and I’m sure you’ll see that a great many people have no Platinum trophies, or just 1 or 2. And not because they’re bad gamers, but because they don’t have that bit of wiring that makes them stick to their task.

Skill at games, belief in your skills, perserverance to get the job finished. It all helps. And if you have 1 or 2 of those traits, then who’s to say you can’t develop the others? There’s nothing wrong with having none of that, and not caring at all about platinums or finishing hard games by using only the power of your own personal awesomeness (lol!)

But there’s nothing with having those things either, or striving to have them. And without wanting to sound like some personal motivation guru, you shouldn’t dismiss the value of the talents you do have. As long as you have fun, its all good, right? I’m just saying that nothing is lost by trying. And this isn’t specific or some prodding to go and play Dark Souls. I just think its good to try new things, and good to believe in yourself that you could do these things. (That’s kind of why I sometimes punish myself trying to improve my frankly awful ‘skills’ at Stealth games :D)

Other than this though… not sure what to start up next. Thinking of getting Resistance: Fall of Man. Probably not an amazing game, but it is the only one I haven’t played.

I found out that in order to unlock chapter 6 and 7 of Operation Javier, you had to defeat the boss as quickly as possible(which is ridiculous to me, I think it should’ve been "get an A rank or higher to unlock them"), so I had to back the difficulty down to easy in order to unlock them. Sadly, chapter 6 and 7 are pretty much chapter’s 4 and 5, only it delves into what was going through Jack Krauser’s mind.

Got a few games to play next on PS3… Agarest War 1, Red Dead Redemption, White Knight Chronicles or LA Noire… one of them will be next on PS3.

Between those 4, I’d go with Red Dead.

Well, you’re very lucky then, Revan. That game crashed *all* the time for me. The dialogue would cut out, cutscenes would freeze and not play (including the final cutscene after Saren dies, and that’s a well known bug so if you dodged that one, then I may have to come round to your house and steal your PS3 :D). And that’s when the game wasn’t just straight up crashing, which it did frequently, Add in corruption of save files, which meant I had to do the whole of Feros twice, and the litany of small bugs (the ‘companion sticks like glue to Shepard’s back being particularly irritating), and… Gah!

It was a nightmare. I love me some Mass Effect 1, but I’m never playing it on PS3 again.

Finished RE: Revelations 2. I had to start from Episode 3 again, because I accidentally got the bad ending. I was actually shocked, thinking that it was the actual end, until I looked up online and found out it was ONE of the possible endings, with the good ending being canon, I assume. I’m happy I got the good ending, though, because the bad ending was bullshit. I’ll get started on Raid Mode later.

Now, I wait and see what’s to come from Resident Evil 7, the conclusion to the main series, from what I’ve gathered.

Oh, I had it all in my playthrough! The Mako would regularly get caught on open, flat terrain and be unable to move and with me unable to get out. Several times, the Mako fell through the ground and I died! I had companions vanish completely for the duration of the mission, and the game *really* doesn’t like you using the Warp power (it freezes if you use it too often!)

Just… no. Mass Effect 1 is a fantastic game, one of my all time favourites, but I’ll stick to playing it on the 360. I’ll take some frame rate issues over all those bugs, any day of the week! And this coming from a guy who usually doesn’t care at all about such things ๐Ÿ˜€ Its a shame, because the PS3 version of ME2 was basically fine, and only having the one disc for ME3 is much more convenient. Plus the text just seems bigger and easier to read on my PS3 for some reason. Its not the worst port I’ve seen. But in a game that I like so much, it was a real pain to have all these new technical niggles getting in the way of my enjoyment of the game.

Fable 3 is my personal favourite of the series. I just like the general steampunk punk of that game, and the whole style of how it looks and how Albion is developing really hooked me in. I think some of the criticisms are fair enough (the game is terribly rushed towards the end), but overall I think it was extremely harshly treated by critics and gamers.

Dark Souls 1. Was absolutely crusing through the game, crushing all before me with my trusty Divine Mace… and then Anor Londo. Tightrope walking across ceiling beams whilst fighting guys, running across rooftops whilst Knights with Greatbows pincushion you and finally every Souls fan’s oldest and dearest friends… Ornstein and Smough.

Finished Bloodborne earlier (and I guess in other news, I have a PS4… and Bloodborne obviously).

Short, easy, dull world, muddled and uninspiring story, forgettable characters, poor bosses, no real variety in weapons, armor, styles of play. Add in that there are hardly any covenants, and both co-op and PvP have issues, then it was a pretty underwhelming package all told.

The Order: 1886.

An unfortuantely wasted opportunity, but despite the game being almost entirely comprised of elements that don’t quite work or aren’t quite good enough, I still somehow really enjoyed it. I hope it gets a sequel, but man this game has a ton of problems. Probably the most glaring for me is that it feels like a sequel to a game which doesn’t (but should) exist. One where we meet the characters properly and have the world and its various elements fleshed out and shown to us.

This game hurries past all that, and upends everything almost before we even begin! It goes into flashback to explain, but this leaves it with the task of introducing characters, world, plot and resolution to the crisis in a game which lasts about 6 hours! They really needed to use this first game as an establishing launchpad, to welcome us to The Order’s world and let us get to know and care about the characters. I did become engaged, but it was just too short and there wasn’t enough time or room for the characters to breathe.

But like I say, despite the fact that I probably shouldn’t have, I did like it. I truly hope it will get a sequel, because a bad start doesn’t necessarily mean the whole enterprise is a bad one.

I like zipping about on the Ghost jetbike in Halo, but that’s a rare exception to the rule.

Its not obnoxious to gloat about your achievements and rub it in other’s faces, pointing out how very much *better* at games you are than them. Its for their own good, you see. It lets them rest assured that whilst they may not be good enough, at least someone is. Makes the world a brighter, happier place.

Its not obnoxious to gloat about your achievements and rub it in other’s faces, pointing out how very much *better* at games you are than them. Its for their own good, you see. It lets them rest assured that whilst they may not be good enough, at least someone is. Makes the world a brighter, happier place.

12 Platinums for me. In most games, the requirements are just too much. I don’t mind putting time and effort into a game I love, but some of the things they ask to do are just crazy and would take far longer than most sane people could possibly stand, for no real reward. I mean, a Platinum trophy sure is nice, but if it means hundreds of hours of slow, grindy work just for that, I’ll pass.

I’m glad trophies exist, but some games definitely have more thought and creativity put into their trophy lists than others. A good trophy list will encourage a player to try new styles of playing the game, urge them to seek out the secret stuff they missed the first time. Bad trophy lists just say ‘You know that mechanic where you do X? Well do it 5 billion times perfectly, and we’ll give you a bronze trophy’.

That game… When its good, its pretty damn awesome. And to be fair, its highly engaging most of the time. But the pace is pretty glacial, and whilst the cast is generally quite engaging in their own way, it does get a bit much at times such that you want to give the characters a dry slap.

Currently (and surprise surprise) I’m playing Batman: Arkham Origins on PlayStation3. I’ve played it through three times before (normal, New Game Plus and then the ridiculously-insane I Am The Knight mode) but having recently played through all the other Arkham videogames by Rocksteady, and spending more than enough time getting the 100% ending on Arkham Knight (screw you, Riddler), I wanted to revisit it and play through without the pressure of trophy hunting and / or sweaty-palm gameplay. Methinks I’ll also take a pass at Arkham Origins Blackgate on PS Vita when I’m done.

After that, tidying up a few of my classics before September and Metal Gear Solid V – The Phantom Pain, which looks incredible.

Finished Resident Evil: Revelations 2. It was okayish I suppose, neither great nor awful. The episodic nature of it was painfully obvious, and the whole thing felt very cheaply made and low key. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it did feel a bit B list compared to other entries. Even moreso than the first Revelations game, which also felt like a slightly more budget affair than the main series.

The Combat Character/Support character idea was okay and worked pretty well. Not reinventing the wheel or anything, but it did a turn. Quite a few irritating one shot KO enemies though, which got on my nerves. The narrative and characters were a bit of a bust though. The basic setup is reasonably interesting, and it was nice to see Claire and Barry return at last. But Claire in particular seems very subdued, and hardly says or does anything really, being completely overshadowed by Moira in all their sections. Barry is good fun, he has good screen charisma with Natalia and they make a good duo. Overall story and villain felt a little undercookedm and didn’t make much impression.

I guess the game was alright, but it did feel very subdued and clipped. Seems to have been treated as a filler installment by Capcom, a shot of RE to the fan’s arms to tide them over. Which is fine I suppose, but I hope the next RE game will have a little more meat on the bone.

And yeah, it was about the same as I remember it really. Decent game, fun at times, but I still struggle to see why its considered one of *the* great FF games. Its good, but not one of my favorites,

The ending is pretty cool though – I’d completely forgotten what happens during that. The little escapades your character get into as they flee the burning tower are great. Its a shame there wasn’t more of that in the actual game, as the scenes were really fun and it was nice to see the characters bantering away in death defying scenarios.

Its a cultural thing really – a lot of us grew up playing ridiculously hard platformers from back in the day. This game is hard, but its no Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels. The only time the game really pushes its luck is when it makes you do pixel perfect jump over death drops, considering you only have a couple of lives before being forced to go back to the start of the level, and checkpoints can be pretty far apart. That can get pretty annoying.

Castlevania has a cult following, but its never really been a sales smash. The hardness of the games were one of its USPs, and some fans only like the really hard ones. That said, 2 of the most loved installments (Super Castlevania 4 and Symphony of the Night) are very easy by the standards of the series. SotN is an RPG, so you can just grind levels if you get stuck on a boss, and Simon Belmont from SC4 is so unbelievably mighty with a fearsome moveset, that he’s ever inch the One Man Army that fans regard him as.

Also:If you are doing the dog tags, remember not to miss the dog tags in the marine room in the submarine at the beginning of the game.

As for me:I played a little bit of metro 2033 yesterday, and i didn’t like it.The game is very linear, and i don’t like the limited amount of ammo in the game.On top of that:I do admit i am a little biased since I don’t like first person shooters most of the time.Games like call of duty and gears of war bore me to tears.The only advantage i see, is that the game doesn’t focus on multiplayer, which is good, because games that are 100% about multiplayer maps, have usually terrible campaigns that are very short.

Hey Leon, how do you feel about the possibility of a resident evil 2 remake? Capcom was asking us fans what we want from a resident evil 2 remake.
Had I heard of such "thing" back when the Resident Evil REmake originally got released on GameCube, I would have been ecstatic; nowadays, I don’t trust the CAPCOM’s team(s) ability to pull it off without screwing it up badly, heck, if I’m not mistaken, they said that fan-made RE2 remake caught their eye… A piece of crap with ripped models from other games which seems to play a bit too much like RE4 for my liking.
I’m not really a fan of remakes, generally, I disliked the "Twin Snakes" game of the Metal Gear Solid series and I’m wary of what Square might do with the new FFⅦ… RE2 is great as it is, plus, cult classics are best left alone, I would prefer much more if CAPCOM gave me a RE7 worthy of the saga’s legacy, none of the stuff put on plate by RE4+RE5+RE6+Rev. spin-offs.

In short, I’d rather not have a RE2 remake, I’ll stick to playing the original in case it does happen.

in my opinion:Resident evil 2 should get the same makeover that re1 got.The team did very well, and actually made the game scarier with crimson heads.

What I don’t want, is re2 turning into a multiplayer first person shooter or turd person shooter.Limit ammo, because resident evil is about that.To turn re2 into re5 would make a lot of fans angry, since I have noticed that some people consider re2 the best.

The thing is, that Resident Evil remake is very old now itself. Shinji Mikami was still about when they did that. And though the reissue of the remake did pretty well just recently, its original release on the Gamecube was a terrible flop, leading them to stop their original plans for RE4 and turn it into the more action focused game that it became.

So it stands to reason that Capcom would be a little unsure of how to proceed. The purist fans obviously want something like RE Remake, but the problem is that the fanbase is splintered into different generations of gamers now, who want different things from the series. The later games in the series raise the hackles of the old fans, but they sell very well and have attracted a new following of co-op playing fans (reading posts about RE5 and 6 on the net, you’d think everyone hates them, but go online with both of those games, and they are always *full* of players doing co-op, all day, everyday, even now).

Capcom have asked fans what they want, which is basically code for ‘If we do this properly and remake it like you say you want, will you actually buy it, or will it flop like RE1 Remake did the first time and make us look like utter chumps?’

Welcome back.What is ar tonelico melody of Elemia? Shooter? Rpg?

As for you vrykolas:You are correct that re1 remake is a little old.

Re4, 5 and 6 failed s horror games, and succeeded as just shooter games.Re5 had good multiplayer campaign, but multiplayer is hard to balance to make it scary.I also think that re5 went in the wrong direction, giving up its horror elements in favor of the me too shooter thing.

It’s an rpg. Also, Resident Evil 4 is the highest averaged rating PS2 game on gamerankings.com out of thousands of games with a 95.85%, so you might want a second opinion, dood.

But as a cop-op shooter, it is *massively* popular. I spent several months playing it again at the start of this year, and its always bursting with people, as is the critically derided (but a guilty pleasure of mine) Operation Raccoon City. I’ve never had to wait longer than 5 seconds to be matched to someone’s game – ever. And I’ve made lots of friends doing RE6’s co-op, helping them through the Professional campaign etc.

They aren’t scary games at all, but that isn’t what the fans of the newer games want. The older games are of very little relevance to them, but they still consider themselves fans of the series – moreso than the older fans in many cases, because they are supporting the series right now. I’m fine with both incarnations of the series, because I think RE always had enough action and is set in an appropriate world where co-op action suits it just as much as survival horror. So I’m fine with them releasing both kinds of RE games (Revelations 2 from this year is pretty old school survival horror for example and I liked that just fine too).

With RE2, Capcom have to ask themselves what will really be served by doing a remake of that game? The older fans will appreciate (and will likely only accept) a faithful remake, but that won’t be cheap. If they use it as an opportunity to blood their new teams on making proper survival horror games, and then transfer that experience into making a new proper RE survival horror, then that would obviously be the big win scenario.

But that would still leave them needing something for the newer fans to play, because as online co-op shooters go, the RE games are actually really, really good ones.

But that would still leave them needing something for the newer fans to play, because as online co-op shooters go, the RE games are actually really, really good ones.

The fact that certain series make departure for larger audiences and going mainstream itself, is a reason why it will be impossible to satisfy either one.If you do a half ass job being horror and shooter, you end up with shit.I think the ff series went this direction in my opinion with FFXIII.

I heard massive amounts of critique of re6.To me, it does annoy me that resident evil abandoned its horror routes for the easy route of:Me too wannabe a left4 dead multiplayer clone.The original resident evil series had a unique feel.It had the cheesy dialogue, the jump scares and the legitimate shit your pants moments, which I am finding horror genre on consoles to be scarce.A lot of the horrors I am seeing, are mostly indie companies, like the one who made slender man, the spooky house of 1000 rooms, and the one of the baby feeding monsters who live under the bed.I heard that dead space isn’t even scary, and I wasn’t scared in dead space 2 demo.

Resident evil came out before silent hill, so that kind of genre was newer, and it stood out.Nowadays, the series has identity crisis.Does it want to be horror? Of a co op shooter?

If it’s a co op shooter with multiplayer elements, it isn’t going to. Scary, especially since you can kill everything, unless you manage to limit ammo, and force people to conserve ammo and healing medicine, and force them into impossible situations that are freaky.Being able to kill all monsters in multiplayer destroys any sense of dread, because you know you can just brute force your way through, and in multiplayer, it is even easier to do that, unless your companion too has limited ammo and medicine, and has some sort of restriction, like say:Dying very fast, but can heal you and also cure the virus, but if infected:You are screwed.

Personally:In this day and age:Zombie multiplayer turd and first person shooters are a common, and shooters in general are a vast ocean so large, it’s the mass market of the Xbox.Call of duties ghost, modern warfare, etc etc.

Even worse:Zombie genre right now is so vast, that anything that doesn’t stand out, ends up forgotten in a pile underneath of the post apocalyptic zombie genre.If you want to stand out, you need to be exceptional.At the time, re4 stood out so much, because it was exceptional and different for its time.Nowadays, re5 isn’t much different from other multiplayer co op missions, except there is no pvp, which I am fucking glad, because that market is overcrowded.

Well, I disagree that its just the same as all those other shooters. RE mixes living enemies who can use equipment, guns etc, the standard zombie hordes, but also a bestiary of animals and mutated creatures. It also has a spy/corporate espionage/James Bond style undercurrent, so if they wanted to, they could run that kind of game credibly in the RE universe as well.

As ever, you can pull all kinds of posts and essays and reviews and whatnot out, but that doesn’t alter the basic facts – i.e that lots of people play these games and love them. If you looked around on the internet, you’d think *everyone* hates Operation Raccoon City, and that nobody at all would be playing it. But go online and you see that isn’t the case. The difficulty here is that this popularity is the most awkward one to assess, because its from people who don’t care about giving an opinion on these things. These are gamers who simply like to play good co-op shooters, and from my experiences I can confirm that their numbers are legion and they really do like the games! Older fans often hate these games for not being real RE games and the newer fans for not being real RE fans. But the situation is what it is. Horror games don’t sell and action games do. RE4 showed how the series could transition to being something that would bring in the cash for Capcom, so its hardly surprising that they ran with that. And since despite the vocal opposition by indignant older fans, the newer games are both much better than those people claim and have their own fans who are supporting and pumping money into the series.

I’m really not sure you can blame Capcom for any of this. They aren’t running a charity, and they aren’t going to turn their backs on the huge numbers of people who *do* love the new game’s direction, to try and please the older fans who are asking for something that is no longer finanically viable. Because look at the sales figures. There was so much talk recently of a survival horror revival, but it never really happened. Amnesia Machine for Pigs flopped, Alien Isolation and Evil Within were both very, very minor hits at best. Add to this the fact that a game that was cricified by the press and derided by mostly everyone who ever speaks of it in ORC, was a healthy sales hit. But before you paint me as some corporate apologist, I’m simply dealing in realities, and because in this instance I happen to like the products that Capcom are producing, even though they fly in the face of my treasured old RE games. So I do hope that some kind of compromise can be reached, whereby they will release survival horror RE games as well. Revelations is sort of that, but its also a more budget affair than the main series, and the recent one was very rough around the edges, meaning it couldn’t be all that scary, despite a clear commitment to being a proper survival horror game (ammo and health is incredibly scarce in that game, and thee are invisible one hit KO enemies…).

And I think Capcom are trying to do right by the older fans, but they’re just not sure exactly how to do it at the moment. With the series creator and principal figures from those early games gone, Capcom have the right and licenses to do stuff with the old games, but not the expertise or experience with the genre. They surely know that there is the risk if they try to fiddle about with the old games with untrained hands, they’ll kill the golden goose and send the old fans into frenzy mode. But them asking what the fans think about a RE2 remake, the mere existence of the Revelations survival horror REs and stuff like the Lost in Nightmares dlc for RE5, show they are trying to accomodate the old fans and aren’t just sticking 2 fingers up at them.

That’s my reading of the situation anyway. The fact is that replacing people like Shinki Mikami and Hideki Kamiya is no easy task. But the show must go on as they say, and they have yet to find a permanent replacement to put in charge of RE. Its a complicated and difficult balancing act to manage an ongoing concern that is also one of the gaming industry treasures and sacred cows. Not surprising that they are having trouble finding someone who can tame this beast.

Its just the way of the world. Its all very well you and me stamping our feet calling for proper scary survival horror games, but they don’t sell. If you agreed to buy about 4 million copies of a new RE Survival horror game yourself, then I’m sure Capcom would be happy to make one for you. If not, you can hardly criticise them for not commiting finnancial suicide. RE Remake is one of the best survival horror games ever made – and it didn’t sell. If people didn’t buy *that* game in big numbers, then its safe to say they won’t buy *any* survival horror game nowadays. Not in the amounts that would make the game profitable. It sucks, but there it is.

Its a nice thought that quality games will always sell, because their inherent quality will break down people’s reservations about genres they don’t usually like. But history shows this isn’t the case. Horror games are only really viable as short, download games that deliver short, sharp shocks and don’t outlast their welcome with the general public. Which again, sucks. But barring some truly inspited (and very lucky in terms of being greenlit in the first place) game coming out to buck this trend, that is how things will stay.

Capcom know how to please their buying public with RE. What they don’t know how to do is to get the older fans out of their unpleaseable fanbase shells. They’re trying but as history also teaches us, the gaming public give absolutely no points for a good effort or a good try.

And what has that brought "us" to? More remasters/special editions, yay for freshness. The Revelations spin-offs do have improvements, in terms of "style", but they are marginal: both chapters still wink the eye to shooters’ fans. At any rate:

Resident Evil 2 was the entry in the series with most copies sold. | Resident Evil 5 was the game to break/surpass that sales number.

Sales data rests "its" case.

It’s somewhat sad, but part of Resident Evil’s fans should really learn to let go; unless a miracle happens, the only chance to see a Survival Horror entry in the series is by either replaying the originals, or hope for a remaster treatment. The fanbase online makes for quite the laughing stock nowadays: they complain about the games’ quality, rightly so, I’ll give you that, but they fail to realize they are but a small fraction of those who end up purchasing a game. Heck, back when the only thing known about RE6 were trailers and demos users were already saying it was going to be crap, yet the game still managed to move something like 6+ million copies, more or less.

Resident evil 5 wasn’t a flop, but it has garnered a lot of mixed reviews.The fans of shooter games with multiplayer aspect loved it, and the fans who wanted a horror game hated it, and re6 certainly got bad bad reputation from fans of horror.

Also:Another issue aside from sales, is the cost.The cost to produce a high graphic triple a game is immense, and if it fails, that is bad news.The problem is so bad, that many Japanese rpg companies have moved to making games on android and iPhones to be cheaper, especially if they aren’t really famous, or just new.Part of this is our fault, because we keep demanding more graphics, and part of it is the problem is going ahead and moving technology is costing massive amounts of money for the technology.

J think the reason resident evil5 got less flack, was because it was a decent multiplayer, although some make fun of Chris redfield the Boulder-Puncher, because he was so drastically different from re1, and look like he was on steroids.

The game had its issues too.Sheva was annoying, and used herbs when she didn’t need to, and was almost like an escort mission while having her, but at least it wasn’t as bad as Ashely graham.Ashley graham was a train reck.

Sales Data would be resting "their" Case, i was presenting them so i was resting "my" Case…

I have bought and played every Game in the Series from 1 to 6, plus both Revelations & Chronicles Titles upon Release, so i feel i am qualified
to make a proper statement.

I’ll keep it short… Basically it’s not feasible for Capcom to produce ~7 Hour Single Player only Survival Horror Game.
There is much more Money to be made in Coop Shooters.

The REmake sold well because it was cheaper to produce and many people had not played it yet due to it being GC exclusive.
Same goes for the forthcoming RE Zero… Which was excellent btw.

As for myself, i will buy the Zero Remake for sure and RE 2 aswell, if it is done in the same style as the other 2, i.e. new Routes, nice Graphics,
new puzzles, new enemie(s) etc,etc. Just don’t do it ala the Unreal 4 & Unity Resident Evil 4 Style Fan Remakes online.

Will skip RE 7 if there aren’t any major selling points which i can’t see happening.

Welcome to the club, same goes for me as far as Resident Evil games "played" are concerned. CAPCOM is about business, in a perfect world both groups of fans might get the games they want, but money has told CAPCOM Survival Horror is no longer profitable quite some time ago. Hell, look at the sales of most chapters (aside from 2) and you might notice the Resident Evil saga never moved that many copies until RE4 got released, back then Survival Horror was already a niche genre, things only got worse after that piece of crap’s success.

While the success of the REmake HD remaster is rather remarkable, with it being both an old game and available for sale only in digital form in most places, I could only cringe when I read players stating that its success will bring Survival Horror back, the one thing CAPCOM has seen in its success is the potential for easy money with cheap remasters, the re-release of Zero is proof enough of that.

The biggest reason RE6 failed as bad as it did is… "Ambition": they wanted for that game to be something to everyone, it ended up being a mess, it lacked focus, the few things that game got right shine only in the Mercenaries extra mode.
I’m lucky enough to enjoy both pre- and post-RE4 chapters, unfortunately for me and luckily for CAPCOM, I’m a sucker for the saga’s lore/story, as long as they’ll keep releasing chapters expanding on it, I’ll keep getting ’em.

Failure is a relative term, when we are talking about big name games. The Tomb Raider remake was considered a disappointment in terms of sales by Square Enix, despite having outstanding sales, because of the ridiculous amounts you need to create to have genuine profit these days. RE6 still sold extremely well, but the amount it needed to sell to be considered a success is the kind of amount which games simply cannot get these days, now that the consumer base is splintering into mobile and indie areas etc. And the REmake did not sell well on the GC. Capcom admitted that themselves. The reissue of the remake recently did sell well, because it was cheap and it was a convenient download. People figured ‘Hey, why not?’ There is no evidence at all which would support the idea rhat a big budget full on horror RE game would have the kind of mass market appeal it would need to justify the cost involved. It would be an absurd risk in these times, especially for a Japanese company, which are more at risk than most, given the volatility of the Jap games market right now.

I should also point out that those who think RE2 was scary are remembering that game through rose tinted glasses. It was never a scary game, and was much more influenced by a spy thriller/corporate espionage/James Bond style feel than the original game’s ‘Escape from the Haunted House’ style. After the first section in the Police station, it becomes more of a Bond movie style caper, with the Mr X taking on a Jaws style role, chasing after Leon, Ada being the obvious Bond Girl femme fatale, and the whole spies. double agents, corporate security teams led by HUNK etc etc. The director of the game has stated many, many, many times that he doesn’t actually like the horror genre at all, and doesn’t like scary things!

As for your AI partner being unreliable in RE5, well its a co-op shooter. Its meant to be played with another person, and is much more fun if you do (as is RE6). And reviews don’t count for anything, as I’ve said many times. The gaming press is not an indepedant voice, and it has too many vested interests. Add in that they are just as prone as the older fans to knee jerk ‘This isn’t like the old games SO IT SUCKS!’ as anyone, and their opinion is as utterly irrelevant as always.

Like I said before, people can write what they want and quote figures etc. But the proof of the pudding is whether people are actually playing these games. And you don’t need to take my word for it. Rent a copy of RE5, RE6, ORC etc and go online. You’ll see they are a hive of activity. Figures can be made to say anything, but seeing all these people playing the games is hard evidence that these games are finding an audience.The old days of survival horror are gone. I live in hope that someone will manage to release a truly inspired game that reinvigorates the genre, but until then, we have to scrape by with whatever we can get. The Evil Within was about as good as you could hope for. Its not really scary at all, but at least the survival aspect is there, with ammo and health being genuinely scarce. Games like that and Dead Space 1 and 2… they’re by no means perfect, but they’re about as good as it gets now.

The last time I was genuinely scared playing a game was Corpse Party (its a sort of cross between survival horror and adventure game). And its utterly terrifying.


Leon Scott Kennedy
08-07-2015, 07:46 AM
Vrykolas, I think your assessment of the older RE2 not being a scary a game is somewhat "misguided": sidestepping the notion that what ultimately makes a game scary is subjective, you seem to be looking at lore/story/location elements, sorry, I think you should take into account gameplay elements: what drove the older REs was forcing you in a maze-like location, severely outnumbered, starting with scarce resources and not really being able to hold your own effectively against groups of enemies (you weren’t a master of dodging and your weapons simply weren’t strong enough, at the start, at least), on top of it all you also had to deal with the trouble of limited-space inventories. Technically speaking, the focus of most older REs was tactical management of resources, not shooting everything on sight (like in RE4 and sequels).

While any player of RE2 worth his/her salt can tell you that, yes, that game is actually loaded with ammunition and healing items, the developers tried to be smart about it and not really "gift" that stuff to you: given the weird placement, for some of it you have to actually take detours from the main path and also examine seemingly non-interactive parts of the pre-rendered backgrounds. For a first timer which isn’t "cheating" and using a guide, the initial run through any of the old REs is bound to be a bit problematic. The old games also presented you many times with small, but very impacting choices to make:

– There’s a group of enemies in this room: do I kill them? Or do I try to get past them and preserve ammo? Both decisions come with their pros and cons: by choosing a a path you might end with a safe room, less ammunition and perhaps a bit of damage. While the other option shares a potential danger, you might be able to save the "good stuff" for the next big bad guy encounter.

– The way the gameplay was structured tried to convey feelings of tension/anxiousness: am I taking enough stuff with me? Am I leaving enough free space? Am I taking the right path? Should I bother checking that room? What if it has nothing of value to me or, holy crap, it has enemies in it? As we can see, the player has to take a measure of risk with most of these options. Someone who has already played a RE or a similar Survival Horror knows the drill and is not going to be THAT "negatively" affected, but I think that if one takes the time to look at each of the old REs, he/she easily sees they succeeded as games about Survival, with a tint of horror. Maybe they’re not universally scary games, but I’m willing to bet many gamers didn’t feel very "safe" for a decent length of the older entries through their first run; I know I was always wondering if I was good enough to advance, at least.

Tell me that’s still the case now. I mean, in a way, you can say that the older REs discouraged any kind of unnecessary confrontation with enemies, they were mere obstacles taking away ammo and health from you, you were greatly rewarded if you had the skills to swerve through them. Nowadays, we find ourselves at the opposite end of the spectrum: with current REs you are encouraged to shoot everything, because for one sometimes you don’t actually advance to the next room until you’ve killed every enemy and, secondly, those retarded examples of A.I. may leave behind ammunition and healing items. You also have OTS camera, sidestep, roll, sliding, dashes, all kinds of melee attacks at your disposal to make the task a lot easier for you. You no longer are a guy which can hold a weapon and run if the need arises, you’re a killing machine; the HUD might even tell you where you need to go wreak havoc next. Resident Evil is no longer about survival, the games make sure enough you get plenty of healing items and ammo, it’s about killing and being led from one scripted event to the next.

I feel compelled to point out all this talk isn’t remembering through nostalgia-filled glasses, is looking at what once mattered most in a game: its gameplay.

Oh, great, I feel like playing a Dynasty Warriors now.

That is precisely why i feel a loss from not having a resident evil survival horror anymore.Isnt there a way to release it cheaper by making it on another.platform, like android and then making it scary again?

What you are ignoring is that the newer games do have good gameplay – it just isn’t the gameplay you want to be in these games LSK. And since there are a great many people who *do* want that, why should Capcom only listen to your voice? They shouldn’t ignore it either, but they can’t make a game just to please you. And saying you’re not alone, falls back into the same thing we’ve been discussing. Fans always insist that if a game is ‘done right’ then it will receive its just rewards in terms of sales. But that is not so.

And as to your examples on gameplay. I’m sorry, but what does any of that have to do with scares? You detail the survival aspect sure, but is that actually making it scary? The basic tools of the RE scare kit do include the solitary hero, the awkward movement, the camera angles etc. It creates a tense atmosphere, but this only lasts a short time, because eventually the player will acclimate to it, and start playing better, start to learn how to game the system, how to manage their inventory to give themselves the best chance etc. The gameplay setup you describe is one ingredient in scares, but without a proper atmosphere and scripted scares, it isn’t enough by itself. Plus frankly, you are *grossly* overstating the difficulty of blasting through those games. Its perfectly possible to do just that – dodging enemies usually ends up costing you more health than its worth. The trick is to know what ammo and weapon to use against what enemies. Used sensibly, you can get by comfortably. As with many games, many people simply convince themselves that any use of ammo, any hits they suffer mean they’ve screwed up utterly and are doomed to fail in the long run. Its a similar scenario in the Metal Gear games, where instead of being stealthy, its quite possibly to just brute force your way through.

To return to the issues of scares, these are more down to the atmosphere and tension a game can create and whether it can sustain this. How they manage the camera angles, the sound, the general look, all remain important. But they need to constantly be evaluating ‘Is it still scary?’ Because you get used to such things. Even in games like Silent Hill 2 with its extremely sadistic camera and high pitched static when enemies were nearby, the player adapts eventually. So you can’t just use this devices as crutches and expect them to have the same effect throughout. I’d argue that RE2 had hardly any actual scares in it, and only one of those doesn’t involve Mr X ambushing you (the one truly effective scare RE2 has is the Licker leaping through the mirror in the interrogation rooms – that was a real lose your shit moment!) But mostly, the game was a very low horror affair. There are far less out and out horror moments than in the first game (and particularly the remake which added all the bits with the mutated Frankenstein’s monster girl into the game). Don’t have a go at me for focusing on lore, because RE2 is very lore heavy. RE1 spaces out its storytelling, and lets the atmosphere tell the story for the most part. RE2 has a more complex plot, due to all the spies and agents involved who are covering things up and seizing evidence etc). Therefore it spends much more time on this stuff than RE1, which only really needed to devote serious time to story near the end.

I think its fairly obvious just by looking at the 2 games, which is the more horror focused game. Shinji Mikami and RE2’s director didn’t get along at all in the beginning, until Mikami conceded that he needed to just stand back and let the new guys make the game they wanted to make, and just pitch in and veto the stuff he really couldn’t live with.

And NG, it depends what you mean by having real horror in these games. Because only RE1 ever really was all that scary. People seem to forget that in the history of gaming, there are very, very few survival horror which were *really* all that scary. Silent Hill is much touted, but only the 2nd one was actually scary (though that is still probably the scariest game ever made). Its not an easy to make scary games, and I would argue that anyone who has a go at RE because ‘it isn’t scary anymore’ most definately *are* looking through the rose tinted glasses.

They have tried to make cheaper RE games that are more survival horror oriented – they are the Revelations games. They aren’t very scary, but they are very survival games in a horror setting, which is all RE ever was really even in the olden days. I have a great deal of sympathy for what people who want a return to the old RE values want, but if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. We might want it, but it’ll never happen, and it isn’t because Capcom are being jerks, but because it simply wouldn’t make any sense for them to do it.

Actually:Yes re 1 was scarier than a few of the other ones that come after, because it is new. and you don’t know what to expect, which is why in the fnaf games, making each game differently, made it scary again because you didn’t know what to expect.Silent hill 2 in my opinion is kinda scary at times, and the prison guy who keeps talking is freaky, but I’m sorry, I find the first game scarier than 2 and 3.1 was scarier, because it’s your first trip to silent hill, you don’t know what is going on.By game 2 and 3, you have familiarized yourself more with each passing game.The problem with resident evil 1, is that it really isn’t that scary.Sure the first few times are scary, and I dread fighting hunters, but knowing the silly dialogue sucks the horror out.Barrys lines and Chris lines are so ridiculously cheezy, and the acting is terrible.I honestly think from watching lets plays of resident evil remake of 1 has given me an appreciation of the detail of horror.Also there is an issue of indie cheap jump scares.Some work, others don’t.I have seen videos of let’s plays of house of jump scares and other stuff alike.I am actually not too fond of jump scares, unless it is done right.If it is abused, it becomes predictable as you would say.

The main reason i am against capcom turning resident evil, is because it is deceptive.Sure you say let it go, but that is easy for you to say.The market is flooded with shooters, and a lot of people love them, and others laud them and the cash ins for the me too market.A lot of shooters don’t even have much story, like gears of war, and most focus on action over story.

I still stand by what I said, even if it is less popular.Is there no way to compromise? I mean a way they can keep horror title and make a shooter with a different name, or do both at the same time? 1 shooter 1 horror.

Like I said earlier NG, Capcom already are doing what you wanted, putting out shooter RE games and horror ones. The main series is the co-op shooter, the Revelations series is the survival horror. The problem is the disparity of budget. The revelations series is made for a tiny fraction of the cost that the main series games are. Because its the only way to keep a survival horror game at all cost viable. But that obviously leads to those games being much less polished than you’d hope for. And when the production values aren’t AAA, its hard to build atmosphere, because everyone is just saying ‘Man, this game doesn’t look very nice, look at how rough it all is etc etc’.

Its an unsquareable circle. They can’t justify spending big bucks on a product which the games buying public have unfortnately made it clear they will not buy. The hardcore fans will buy it, but they would have bought it anyway regardless of what it was like, even if only so they could complain about it. Such is the burden of being a fan… ๐Ÿ˜€

If your idea of compromise is for Capcom to make a big budget AAA survival horror game with superbly crafted controls, graphics and atmosphere… well good luck waiting for that! Because it ain’t happening, more’s the pity. I’m right with you in wanting such a thing, but this is the real world we live in and money is what makes it goes round. I don’t blame Capcom, because what else can they do? They have similar struggles with the Ace Attorney series – the cost of localising them for the West is so high and the expected profits so low, that they only release the big entries of the series now. This infuriates the fans, but we can’t expect Capcom to keep doing it whilst making financial losses.

Revelations is the best compromise they can make. The best thng would be to find a good director who could make the most out of that format. The episodic nature of Revelations 2 was promising. They should probably try that again.

And every time he thinks ‘Hah – I don’t have to take that from second string jerks like you!’ only to find that actually yes he does, because he’s eternally at the bottom of life’s pecking order.

Metro last light.The game seems to have more sneaking than the first game, or the least that the sneaking is better.The story of Russian nazis is ridiculous.So you get caught by the reicht, and the baby dark one gets caught by th reicht and you, and these Russian nazis are executing anyone who has been touched by these creatures,or the thoughts of these alien creatures mingle with theirs.There seems to be new things included:Night vision goggles for one thing, and you also can modify your weapons to make them better by adding scopes and silencers, but don’t do it early on, because right after the botanical gardens area, you lose all your guns and get captured, and are forced to g new guns.ther is also a new feature:You can wipe your mask by pressing lb to get water off.

Grand Theft Auto V – Got this some time ago, so decided to give it a go. First person view is fun.

On PS3:
Mass Effect – The completionist in me wants to get all the trophies. Still have 5 left to get for ME1 then I’m done.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare – Just for fun… and that I do like the SP campaign for the MW trilogy.
Record of Agarest War – Pretty good so far.
Army of Two – Another trilogy I’m starting from the first. Damn good trilogy… kinda hope that another Army of Two game would be released, but like Alpha Protocol (Which DEMANDS a damn sequel), never happen.
Saints Row 2 – The BEST of the Saints Row games… hope the rumors of a 5th game (and the talk of it going back to a serious-sort of style gameplay etc as Saints Row 2) turn out to be true… IV kinda killed the series…

The first Darksiders is good, imagine 3D Zelda combined with a violent comic book art style. It’s pretty cheap too. I recommend it.
The second game is also good so far, but the Wii U version is terrible. I’ve heard the PS3 version is the best.

The SNES Kirby Super Star had a remake with a few more game modes on the DS. I’ve only played the SNES version, myself.
Kirby Triple Deluxe is a different game for the 3DS. It’s pretty good so far.

Strangely, GOTY edition on Steam is more than Borderlands 2 GOTY!
When they were both on sale, I had to buy 2 before I could buy 1.

I started both, but have not completed any yet.
It is a lot of fun going around killing.

I even played them on Xbox 360.
Not so fun when some friends-of-friends show up who have max stats and use dupe tricks to get millions of dollars.
They’ve played it to death, so when they play with us who have never played it all the way the through, they treat it like a speed-run on youtube.

I bought my games individually at Wal-Mart when they came down in price.

I have been to the end of BL 1 before but never beat the Vault boss. As for BL 2 I am about 3/4 into it and BL-TPS I’ve only just begun.

My platform is Sony PS3.
I have accrued $9,999,999 honestly and have collected a lot of cool weapons and class mods. I have gotten to where I can take down most of the enemies fairly quickly except for the Badass Guardians and of coarse the a fore mentioned Vault boss.

I guess its mindlessly enjoyable exploration fun in the way Bethesda games always are, but so far it feels even less substantial than Skyrim and Fallout 3. Bethesda just cannot write good quests and dialogue, nor do they seem to care about it. I wasn’t a big fan at all of FO3, but it had its moments. So far, this hasn’t had any.

Recap from previous post:

Finished the SP of Black Ops III and feel rather… well, cheated. It was (Only read spoiler IF you want to know):

The usual sci fi schtick of your character suffering horrendous injuries and being put into a coma for medical surgery. You wake up, go about the rest of the game in usual CoD manner… only to find at the end, that what you just spent the last hour or so of playing is nothing but a drug induced dream and that your character died on the operating table.

Due to the, imo, piss poor SP campaign, this was a big let down… Hell, I had far more fun playing CoD Ghosts, Advance Warfare and the entire Modern Warfare Trilogy (Both SP and MP… fuck off with the damn Zombie bs) than Black Ops III. Return to store of purchase.

Super Smash Bros.. well, I can see how fun a game like that could be with friends around and such, but it’s not my type of game (not really a fan of beat ’em ups in general), so this is a return to store purchase.

Currently:

Finally wrenched the Platinum Trophy from Fallout 4’s vice like grip. Easy list except for the outrageous ‘Benevolent Leader’ trophy. That one will haunt my nightmares for months to come…

Overall, it wasn’t bad actually. Nowhere near as good as New Vegas, but in moving closer to a Bioware style game, it means a hell of a lot more to me than Fallout 3 ever did. And incredibly, the main plot is actually not too bad at times. Might sound like a backhanded compliment, but given how awful the main story usually is in Bethesda games, this was a HUGE step in the right direction. Decent companions for the most part, but still needs more work in that department.

But yeah, the game was a lot better than I thought it would be for sure.

Did play some of the Tom Clancy Rainbow Six Siege Open Beta, a game I’ve been waiting for… well…

Went in, hoping for something good. Finding game… disconnected from lobby. Annoyed, tried again. Same thing happened. Tried third time, got into a game. Got gunned down by teammates. Slightly miffed… joined another game. Gunned down due to ‘friendly fire’ and told "You suck!" Deleted Open Beta, cancelled preorder.

Finished the Old Hunters dlc for Bloodborne. Pretty good, but a little uneven. Has some great moments, and at least 3 of the boss fights are very good. Overall, I’d say it was better than the main game, but I was never as wild about BB as the Souls games. They are getting there slowly in terms of depth of content, with the new covenants and weapons, but its very late to be introducing them now.

Still, its worth getting just for the Ludwig boss fight. Best fight in the whole game IMO.

Can’t wait till I open my presents this year.Got Diablo 3 and mass effect 2 on the way.I am really nervous about mass effect 2, because I have seen mixed criticisms.Some harp about how it’s not an rpg and got rid of exploring planets and now you just scan planets and get materials and sometimes find a mission.

I like the exploration part of the first game, but with better inventory please? And a better more useful rpg skill system with more choices.

I am also nervous because I asked for the PS3 ultimate version with the expansions, and I doubt I will get it.

I am also nervous about Diablo and excited, because I enjoyed the demo quite a bit and really wanted to buy it months ago.

I also have to find a way to get kotor to work on my pc, because it crashes at the beginning of the game after the second cutscene in game.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is my personal GOTY. After the abysmal Assassin’s Creed Unity then the issues with Rainbow Six Siege (online only, no SP, bad servers (frequent timeouts) etc), ACS wins hands down for myself. Love the characters, the combat system works really well, the plot with all the side stories… all of it is great. Even completing a side mission and hearing the locals (one intoxicated individual singing in a cockney accent ‘Pop goes the weasel’) converse with each other… This is my personal favorite AC game, followed by Black Flag.

I probably shouldn’t decide on a GOTY for me since I only have five games from 2015, but it’s a toss-up between MGS5 and Xenoblade Chronicles X, but I’m still in the middle of the latter.

As for the best games I’ve played in 2015, they are Deus Ex Human Revolution, Alice Madness Returns, Tales of Xillia 2, Shining Force EXA and Super Mario 3D World.

Hey, don’t worry about it – I only have about 5 games from this year too! Naming a GotY these days, increasingly feels like a ‘least worst game of the year’ lol! The industry really needs to take a good hard look at how its making AAA games these days IMO.

Seeing what other people thought was GOTY is simply an interesting diversion. And there’s no harm in deciding for yourself what the best games (or games) you played this year were. Its all just talking points, and what’s a games forum for if not that?

Plus I like lists and ticking things off. Sad but true ๐Ÿ˜€

Frankly, I thought this year sucked. Just like last year, and the year before that. This gen really needs to step it up. In all honesty, my favourite game that I played this year was Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles and that came out years ago! Only Bloodborne and Stein’s Gate really did much of anything for me in terms of new releases.

At least next year looks pretty good. Famous last words lol!

Pfft, if I was going to play a Megadrive game, it sure wouldn’t Ecco! Not when I could be playing Streets of Rage, Contra, Ghouls and Ghosts or Road Rash to name but a few.

Of course I’d spend most of the time cursing the 3 button controller. I was a Street Fighter 2 master on the SNES, and the Mega Drive expects me to make do with this ‘Press Start to alternate between punches and kicks’ nonsense?!

You do know I was half-joking, right, couldn’t you tell? I partially agree, Streets of Rage, Contra, etc are all fantastic games. But can’t ecco and Sonic live in harmony together? Like, why do you think this (http://liris-san.deviantart.com/art/Sudden-Encounter-Sonic-and-Ecco-330478002) picture was even made? Because both Sonic and ecco are awesome. Can’t you see them being in the same universe? I sure can. Jokingly: Ecco the Dolphin (including Tides of Time and Defender of the Future) is THE Game of the Year for ALL years, ever since 1993. Even ecco SONGS OF TIME (http://vgmdb.net/album/353) is my album of the year, for every year, until the rest of time. Seriously though, Ecco The Dolphin (all of them) counts as one of my favorite games of all time (my top ten list here (Thread 17918)). I just think Ecco The Dolphin is awesome as a game and as an idea, I mean, is there ANY other game as cool as this one where you play as a Dolphin? I don’t think so! ๐Ÿ˜‰ But you have your opinion, and thats totally fine. But remember, ecco, your old friend wishes to sing to you. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Of course I could tell – I was joking too! I was sending up the outrage that Street Fighter 2 fans had at the time when it came out on MD. The diva behaviour from some of the Street Fighter fans I knew was just silly. Sure the controller was annoying, but their rage was overblown. And of course I never had a 300 match winning streak – I was good with Ryu, but I wasn’t that good ๐Ÿ˜€

Ecco was a decent game. It was different and that’s always a good thing.

Sorry… disagree with you. Never liked Ecco… gameplay or music wise. If we were to talk about which game should be GOTY for musical score, then that honor goes to Castlevania Symphony of the Night. For everything else, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic… but I digress…

Vrykolas
12-18-2015, 12:38 AM
To the comment about AAA games not being the place to look for GotY… well, why not? I mean, I don’t think they are of sufficient quality at the moment, but saying that they never will be is a bit pessimistic even for me!

I refuse to accept that AAA games are inherently inferior to indie games and their supposed credibility. The problem is with the quality of the games this (and the end of the previous) gen are turning out, and the priorities of developers and publishers (i.e playing it safe and endlessly churning out sequels, remasters, spiritual sucessors and remakes etc).

I like (in fact I love) unusual, niche titles al la Killer7, Corpse Party, Danganronpa etc, and those kinds of games aren’t AAA or indie. But they are also in very short supply these days, and Stein’s Gate was the only title like that this year really. Life is Strange showed promise, but like Walking Dead S1 before it, I loved the first 2 episodes only to be massively underwhelmed by the rest.

Screwed around for a while with DEVIL MAY CRY 4 Special Edition, on PS4, as of late; played the vanilla/standard edition on PS3 when it released??? Been glad to discover my skills aren’t all that rusty (http://imgur.com/OxEt51G).
Tackling whatever secret mission I could while playing as Vergil has been rather fun, but damn, he’s way too over-powered. Sadly, I’ve encountered a few game-breaking bugs which weren’t in the original version (bosses randomly turning invincible and the screen randomly going "dark" while playing Bloody Palace, forcing me to quit), but other than that, still think it is a better game than the DmC reboot (latter Definitive Edition included).
Not here to start an argument, I’ve played (and Platinum’ed) the Reboot, too, I just think DMC4 has a lot more "depth" to it, gameplay-wise.

God am I glad that year is over. I don’t think I can take another terrible gaming year. The last 3 years at least have been so unbelievably terrible, practically a barren wasteland with nothing that’s interested me. A few gems here and there, but its been hot under that beating games drought sun…

But this year has Persona 5, Mirror’s Edge 2, Deus Ex something something, Dark Souls 3, Final Fantasy 15, Mass Effect Andromeda, Dishonored 2, hopefully Ace Attorney 6, a new Fire Emblem game, a new Star Ocean game (which I honestly never thought would happen), No Man’s Sky…

Many reasons to be hopeful. So if we get to the end of this year and it sucked, then I’m going to take a crash course in games development and start making my own damn games. They’ll be awful, but they can’t be any worse than what we’re getting! So Games Industry, if you want to avoid the horror of having a completely untutored games hobbyist hack churning out material, then get your damn fingers out and MAKE SOME GOOD FRICKING GAMES!!!!

I actually liked the campaign of Black Ops 3(finished it two days ago). It’s no Black Ops 1 or 2, but it was good. Story got(interestingly)bizarre at some point, though. I do agree on the multiplayer, however. The hit detection is really messed up.

Also finished Until Dawn two days ago, and wow, what a crazy game(well, "interactive movie" to be precise :p). This is one of those games that’s so good, you’d never want to get rid of it, imo. Sadly, only 3(Sam, Chris, and Jessica)survived based on the choices I made.

To me… the SP was far too cliche… using standard sci fi plots to get through things…

Main one for me… being that it didn’t happen… that your character died to their wounds they received in the first mission on the operating table before the second mission began. It was all a piss poor excuse imo for a campaign that didn’t allow one to get to know the characters at all… as the simulation we played through with our character had different versions from what the characters really were.

At least Advanced Warfare did things right SP wise and MP (even though they had to add Gun Game via patch >.<) and as much griping/complaints as there was about Ghosts, it did work. Black Ops III failed, for me, across the board.

I wouldn’t bother about the ME1 choices thing. Most don’t have any impact at all until ME3. And saying they have impact there would be exceedingly generous. It really doesn’t make any difference – Bioware have never nailed this stuff right. Dragon Age Inquisition was a particularly stark reminder of that. They got everyone all hot and bothered over not being able to transfer save files, created a whole website dedicated to covering all the choices from the previous games… and then none of it mattered *at all* in Inquisition, making it the biggest waste of time ever.

I’ve been amazed to discover they also preserved the bugs which plagued the original 1998 game: interacting with the "Snow-Grinder" in a certain way causing crashes/inventory to act up, the crane not lowering/raising, or the screen switching and getting "frozen" on that kind of world-map view, when you attempt to leave the area with the lever just before the crane (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1XKRCNBgAc). Aside from that, the new 3D models and lighting effects were nice.

Oh, well… I’m still extremely glad this little gem is once more available "legally" and can be enjoyed without much hassle, the original game is a pain to run.

Yeah, I know all about that damned snow grinder bug! I couldn’t remember exactly what the problem was, but I did remember that there was a bug there. So I saved as soon as I got into that screen!

Great game, but I still think the last couple of chapters run out of steam a bit. It was sort of a victim of its own success – the first 2 chapters are so great, that it was probably inevitable that it had to dip eventually. Still, I had a wonderful time playing it again, and I’m really looking forward to the Full Throttle remaster.

Haha! I saved there, too. The way I triggered that bug was by interacting with the snow-grinder without putting the Bone Arm first: I’ve seen Manny pick up the snow-grinder and put it down immediately afterwards (and I didn’t press the "pick item up" button), then, I tried to access the inventory and the game locked up on that screen… Good thing it was a soft freeze and I could still close the application normally.

Yesterday I went to my trusty store, because I wanted to buy Resident Evil Origins Collection (retail release with both Resident Evil 0+Resident Evil -Rebirth/REmake HD Remasters), I left empty-handed but I was still happy, the guy had sold all his copies… Fun fact is that the retail release landed in stores yesterday. Good to see there are still folks fond of the RE o’ old, or those who want to give those games a try.

Played Dying Light for a bit, earlier, I think it’s a rather fun game, but it risks to become boring soon.

I played both on the Cube, which makes me part of a relatively small circle i guess.

Shame too, because i think Zero is a great, and REmaster a superb Game.
That Gamecube Exclusive Deal backfired pretty badly.

Nice to see them getting the Recognition they deserve, REmaster figureatively makes me shit my Pants,
that Game is nervewracking for me to say the least. Damn Crimsonheads.

I think Capcom got at least one Message, Classic Survival Horror is still in Demand.

Will they be able to turn their Ship around ?

But i’ll wait for the Resident Evil 2 Remake before i say aye or nay.

I played extensively the REmake on the Cube, also, Zero… Not that much, I grew bored by it, back in the day, I hope I can "stomach" it now.
Crimson Heads are a wonderful gameplay mechachic/element, from my point of view, I tend to think of them as "bastard teachers": aside from a few scripted encounters, if memory serves me correctly, you can go through the whole game without seeing Crimson folks, not to mention that Hunters take their place once you go back to the Mansion. They’re in the game not only to screw up with the folks who played the original version and think the REmake is going to be a breeze for them, but also to hopefully drill (or should I say "claw") a few things in the player’s skull:
1) You are not supposed to stupidly gun down every zombie you see. Learn to avoid them;
2) If you feel you have to kill, make those damn bullets count ;
3) Don’t waste time burning zombies, unless you can toast 3-4 of them at the same time, fuel gets to be an obstacle. Ammo conservation isn’t a problem, early on, you can spend a few shotty shells.

My favourite game will always be [B]Resident Evil 2, then come CODE: Veronica X, Outbreak Files #1/#2, 3: Nemesis, Survivor/Gun Survivor, 6, 5, 4 (this gets to be the last and shittiest Resident Evil because, despite having solid game-mechanics, it "made way" for 5+6 and killed the saga).

Imo, yes. It’s pretty easy to get into if you played any of the Souls games. Though, I’m honestly glad they didn’t bring over the ACTUAL first King’s Field since the King’s Field we got was King’s Field 2. It felt too confusing to get around in the the first one. Navigation was pretty straightforward in King’s Field 2 like in Demon’s Souls and up.

I’ve never been much of a fan of Resident Evil 0. The train bit at the start is great, and I like Rebecca and Billy, but after the train crashes, the game just kind of sucks. The inventory system is terrible, I really don’t care for the ‘Island of Dr Moreau’ enemies (just lots of mutant animals), and the whole concept of leeches that can merge together and become humans is ludicrous even by the standards of the series. Plus, except for one pretty awesome flashback scene from Billy’s past, the plot and characterization basically stop after the train.

And, as I’ve said many times the events that it insists happened before RE1 are entirely unlikely. Both in terms of how Rebecca is in RE1 and because the geographical layout of the areas they visit makes no sense. They pass through areas that are in RE2, so its actually in (or under) Raccoon City, but at the end they are right outside Spencer’s Mansion which is far out in the surrounding mountains, such that it took STARS a while to fly there by chopper. They start near there, go on a high speed train jounrey away from that location, end up under Raccoon city and then somehow get all the way back out into the mountains?!

And the idea that they defeated a Tyrant which just happened to be there and wandering about, when retrieving the lone sample from the Mansion was the whole reason that the traitor set up the Mansion incident in the first place, makes no sense to me.

That being said, I guess I can’t appreciate the title starring Leo as I should because I’ve played "THE 2ND RUNNER" first; the sequel does a (lot) better job at delivering High Speed Robot Action, not to mention that you get the feeling JEHUTY is a kickass Orbital Frame right from the start.

EA = Early Access :laugh:

Steam has a lot of them. Mostly games that will stay "EA" (alpha/beta) forever.
It’s a good market to earn money and keep people’s hopes up.

The biggest problem with Early Access games is that they are more likely to include new things to updates rather than bugfixes.
Kids that play games have little patience, so once they play a game for 30min, they know everything and want new features added. :notgood:

I just feel like that ending was a choice between 2 utterly unacceptable bad endings.

The game is sending out a very bad message by doing this – Its effectively saying that life is so s**t and unfair, that even if someone had superpowers (pretty much the ultimate superpower because we’re talking about time manipulation), and were a genuinely decent person who tried their best to help, who learned their lesson when they unwittingly abused that power and corrected it, and just generally tried their absolute best to help people… That life is SO miserable, that even with all of that being true, there is still no way to resolve things in anything like a satisfactory way. Because in both endings, everyone is left crushed and unhappy, assuming they are alive at all!

The characters didn’t ask for this power, they tried their best, and nobody can say that they didn’t suffer over and over and over again along the way. And then the game just slaps you in the face and says ‘Its all your fault – choose your bad ending’ ?! Forget that! There should have been a third ending where Max refuses to make that choice, because it is no choice. She should have just screamed into that hurricane that if this is the best life has for peopke who have tried and suffered then life should just go ahead and do what its going to do. Because who wants to live in a world as sh**ty as that?

It can’t just be doom and gloom and failure all the time. If life was really as awful as that, even if people had super powers and were of genuine good heart and intention, then we’d all slit our throats rather than bother forcing ourselves through another terrible day of pointless suffering. Yes, there has to be a price of suffering, no the Good guys cannot always have their way. But if they don’t win in the end, if its still a conditional ending where they lose more than they gain, then what the hell message is this game giving us?

Life is bad enough in reality, without fiction adding to the misery. A dose of hard reality adds credibility to a story, but making you choose which Downer Ending you get after all that struggle, is just an insult.

You should play Stein’s Gate – it does basically the same thing as this game’s narrative, except it does it a whole lot better (and I already think LIS is pretty damn good, just so we’re clear). It has the same kind of choice at the end, that the hero just refuses to make because its an impossible and cruel choice. But the game has the sense to know that if you have played in a certain way and demonstrated that you deserve a way out of this, that life is not so utterly heartless and heedless of our suffering that it will let it end like this. Its awesome, and its how LIS should have handled its ending.

At least she scored a few headshots, but I can’t wait for her reaction when the first Crimson Head suddenly shots up. I suppose I could have warned her about those things, but damn… I made the same mistake the first time around; it’s my turn to see someone have a heart attack. :laugh:

The Hunters are pushovers in the REmake, don’t have any weapon equipped and Jill is fast enough to dodge/outrun them, with Chris there’s no contest at all; what often works against you is the level design. That’s your worst enemy.
Crimson Heads could prove to be problematic, especially on the earlier stages of the game, I’ve witnessed a few Crimson take three Shotgun shells, prior to dying.

Yes, but a blast usually stuns them long enough to run past. You basically play a little bullfighting game with them, baiting them close, hitting them and nipping off, then repeating. Obviously its better to just burn zombies unless they are in a room you don’t think you’ll need to return to. There is actually a lot of kerosene about, enough to burn a lot of zombies if you’re careful about where you do it. Some areas like corridors don’t need to be visited again, because the areas beyond can be reached by different corridors etc.

But telling people to dodge enemies (particularly Hunters) is dangerous and its where most new gamers get into the most trouble. They think ammo will be so scarce and that they have to dodge enemies to conserve it. But whilst they might work most of the time, they inevitably end up getting hit now and then. The cost of some ammo used to kill the enemies for good far outweighs the slow cost of herbs and the stress on gamers trying to dodge with the awkward controls and camera angles (which are made in that way for that very purpose).

Basically people are overthinking things – just kill all the enemies by the most efficient means. Guns and knives on zombies, shotguns on dogs, Crimson heads and groups of zombies who mob you, Acid rounds and Magnum rounds on Hunters and bosses, Flame Rounds on spiders and plants.There is plenty of ammo if you just use it on the right enemies and don’t waste the wrong ammo on the wrong enemies. Acid round and magnum rounds are precious, but too many people are so scared of wasting them that they never use them! True, they have lots of rounds for the bosses, but you don’t need that many! Its far better to take out the Hunters (a single magnum round at close range will usually kill them for example, or at least set them up for a quick follow up shotgun blast).

I never dodge enemies, and I always have more ammo than I could possibly use at the end of the game. The only times I’ll leave enemies alive is when they are in dead end rooms, where you can just grab the items and never come back to the room ever again.

Star Magician: If you don’t want to read a proper explanation of why I feel how I do, then don’t. Contrary to modern belief, some topics need more 12 words for a proper answer. You said it was in your top 10 of all time. I figured if I was going to challenge that, Should have I just said ‘Because it sucks’ and pretended I hated everything about it?

And Manray – are you for real? I shouldn’t respond to such cheap accusations, but for the record, I’ve completed every mode of RE. I played it religiously on the Gamecube. Hard, Real Survivor, Invisible Enemy etc. The principle is always the same – use your ammo wisely, but use it! Try to dodge everything and you just make things needlessly complicated. This approach works in RE1 and 2 (and obviously all the later more action oriented games). Its much harder in Code Veronica and RE3, because enemies are more plentiful and refresh more often. A little common sense goes a long way – and of course practice makes perfect.

My partner is in the tunnels [map has the area called Garden B1, well, that’s the literal Italian->English translation, sorry if it isn’t accurate) about to encounter Miss Trevor for the second time.

Vrykolas, there are multiple ways to complete the Survival Horror Resident Evil(s): while anyone with a decent/good enough knowledge of the games can tell you that yes, they are loaded with ammo and it’s absolutely possible to kill everything you come across and have stuff left, one can just as easily learn to dodge enemies:

– Learn enemy-placement. By that I mean stuff like which zombie is a "Sleeper" (standing still until you approach him/her) and also where he appears once you re-enter the room.

– Learn to deal with enemies accordingly. You can always trick a zombie by tapping forward and back in rapid succession until he/she lounges at you… And misses! In the precious seconds the foe’s wondering just why he/she didn’t get a tasty meal, you swerve to the side and leave (this a trick which works in every Survival Horror RE, REmake included). Another example: a Licker in RE2 matches the running-speed of both Leon and Claire at Fine [Green] condition (Ada Wong manages to slightly outrun them, but she’s the fastest character in that game), but you should know the trick to dealing with them: walking. Yes, walking. You can actually avoid to "trigger" a few Lickers by walking around them, they rely on sound, after all.

Ultimately, it depends on how you plan to play the game and what you get good at. You define dodging enemies needlessly complicated, I think the same of the "use weapons/ammo wisely" method, why? I’ve no problems telling you: while I’ll always say that the way you "fight back" in the Survival Horror titles works, I find it to be serviceable, at best; when I’m wasting time shooting an enemy another one might score a hit on me, not to mention all the detours I might have to take to collect ammo/etcetera. I suppose you can call me a speedrunner, as far as RE is concerned: I "Speedy Gonzales" all the way, avoiding any unnecessary fight and taking with me just what I need to survive. Fighting back = Time wasted.

Leon that isn’t always true on resident evil.In code Veronica, you run out of ammo fast if you shoot down every zombie.On the other hand:You can knife down dogs if you are good enough or just dodge them, since that is probably better.I am actually getting good at dodging in re code Veronica, and I even managed to learn a trick with dodging the Bandersnatches by going on their short arm and running past them.Hunters are really hard to dodge, even if you know the way they work.You are better off killing them with a shotgun.I beat re code Veronica without cheating and died a few times getting past escaping the first island with Chris.Resident evil Nemesis is also really hard too.I learned that handguns with crit works really well on nemesis as well as cryo rounds for the grenade launcher.In re1 there is enough ammo to kill every zombie in the game on ps1.Not sure about the remake.

You may find dodging easier, but I contend that if you asked a random gamer which he found easier – dodging enemies using tank controls in fixed camera angles, or standing still and shooting them, I think I know which they would say is easier. People try to dodge not because they think its easier, but because they are scared of wasting ammo. Because people tell them ammo is scarce and they should conserve it. Use it wisely sure, but not using it at all?! Its the same mentality as when people hoard consumable items in any games – they are too scared to use them early on, get comfortable surviving without using them and then end up with thousands of them by the end. They still win, but they made things much harder on themselves than they needed to be.

I can dodge enemies – I’ve been playing RE for decades. But then I think why bother when I could just shoot them here and now and have done with it? It’ll take seconds and I won’t have to worry about them ever again. Later RE games have more boss encounters, and the zombies appear in much larger mobs (and they can even semi run in games like RE3, though its more of a fast shuffle really). Coupled with frequent refresh rates on new enemies, its much harder in those games to blast through every encounter, and saving powerful ammo is more important. RE3 encourages less aggressive play, as it adds in actual dodging mechanics, makes ammo harder to come by and puts in *tons* of enemies.

But in RE1, you rarely encounter large numbers of zombies (its fairly rare to even face 3 at once), and there are only 2 boss encounters where you need the really good weapons (because many of the bosses can be weakened or don’t actually have to be attacked – only the 2nd fight against the Snake and the Tyrant require a good arsenal to defeat). Plus it made Invisible Enemy mode a lot easier, because I knew where the enemies started, what their usual route to you is, and what weapons work best against them. The little shadow on the floor gives their position away sure (not a full shadow, but there’s always some slight discoloration if you look closely where the enemies are standing).

In Code Veronica, life is much easier if you take advantage of the split aiming ability of some weapons, and again assign your weapons to the right enemies. A single bullet puts down a dog, leaving it wide open to stunlock and kill with the knife. Single zombies can be baited as LSK says, and then knifed. The long arm dudes go down easily to fire arrows, and as NG says its more trouble than its worth trying to dodge Hunters when you can just kill them.

You’ll obviously do what works for you. But I’ve been playing these for years, and my method works great for me. Dodging is something you should consider if killing the enemies is a pointless waste of ammo (i.e you never intend to come back to the screen again), but otherwise… well why even have ammo and weapons, if you’re never using them? Your guys are Special Forces, not some Japanese schoolgirls with flashlights! ๐Ÿ˜€

Thing is that I’m not saying don’t use any ammo, because in tight corridors you have to, to get rid of zombies.There is simply no room to dodge, but if you can avoid large groups of zombies and not waste ammo, do it.Re3 is also a pain in the ass when dealing with nemesis because he eats up so much ammo.

I’ve started playing RE with 2 in 1998, then I "worked" my way through every other chapter. I’ve been playing the saga for years, too. I do take advantage of a few nifty tricks like aiming the shotgun up to improve chances of scoring a headshot against zombies, but with each chapter they "nerfed" that; heck, in REmake you have a 70/80% chance of blowing a head off and that with the zombie rather close to you.
Nowadays’ random gamers aren’t likely to bother with Classic RE that long, Call of Duty brain-fucked ’em way beyond repair. I have enough knowledge of the saga that I can safely admit most first-timers (and I do stress the term) would struggle with a RE played on its Standard difficulty: starting with RE4 every collectable item/ is flashing in plain sight, players weren’t that lucky with the older entries, you should know just as well as I do that CAPCOM liked to hide quite a few healing items/ammunition "within" elements of the pre-rendered backgrounds; pair these design choices with the limited knowledge a first-timer has and tell me again how well shooting everything works. True, the "magic" will most likely last only through the first run, but the games do a good enough job at instilling in you the thought that maybe, just maybe, you shouldn’t waste ammo. For God’s sake, they’re Survival Horrors, they revolve around tactical management of resources, having you wonder if you’re geared well enough to face whatever may come next. Games loved to screw with you like that, keep you second-guess your ever move: could you afford to kill enemies in area X? Will you ned to go through that room/alley multiple times, or you’re just going to waste ammo?
I’d dare to say you and I know valid fundamentals of playing RE, but a random gamer starting REmake or even 2 on Normal? I’ve my money on him/her ending up screwed soon enough and rightly so.

Nostalgia gamer
02-04-2016, 12:11 PM
True enough Leon.When I first played code Veronica I tried to save up as much ammo as possible and nearly screwed myself over and ended up quitting for some time, because I was at the end of the island with Chris and ended up dying because I had plenty of ammo but no herbs.Well I actually started using ammo in the Arctic part and made it to medicine and finally won the game.

I’m also used to playing silent hill and God is silent hill 3 hard to dodge in.Pendulums overall are just a nightmare to dodge, and if you try to kill them with anything but a shotgun, they get faster and beat on you more.Re1 was pretty hard to dodge in the first place since you had so little room.I haven’t beaten re3 yet or re2.I did beat re4 on the hardest difficulty though and it wasn’t that hard compared to trying to get the rocket launcher in code Veronica, cause that is hard.

I’m not a fan of fps games much either.I don’t play call of duty or modern warfare or any of those. Gears of war.

My point was that you’re only wasting ammo, if you aren’t using it sensibly. Simply using ammo in areas where it is advantagous to do so, is not a waste. Refusing to use it when it would be useful and leaving yourself with more than you could ever possibly need however *is* a waste.

The scarcity of ammo did concern me in early playthroughs, but that only encouraged me to find the most efficient ways of killing each enemy. Claire’s bowgun for example in RE2 is a bit of an awkward weapon to use. It fires 3 powerful shots, but getting the most out of it without wasting bolts can be pretty tricky, and it has no vertical component like the shotgun blast does. I’ve seen lots of people just say ‘Oh, I don’t like this weapon’ and never use it, but that’s placing a huge strain on her other weapons’ ammo to pick up the slack. Lots of people don’t use the weapons that take up 2 slots either, and that’s also a big mistake.

Its as NG says – if you try to hoard all your ammo and dodge all the time, you pay a slow cost of healing herbs from the occasional hits you’re taking. And judging new gamers on today’s standards is slightly awkward. If new gamers play an older RE game, they are bringing all kinds of baggage with them. On the one hand, they have hysterical critics insisiting ammo is scarce and its going to murder etc and on the other they have their experiences of modern games, where you can just blaze away and ammo is everywhere, so they’re apt to do daft things like run around shooting zombies with the Magnum or Flamethrower, because that’s what they do in zombie modes of games like COD.


Leon Scott Kennedy
02-05-2016, 01:19 AM
Well, if you advance the idea of random gamers trying to kill everything as a first option in earlier RE, I’m personally not left with many thoughts drifting away from the COD-crowd, why do I say that? Personal experience, it won’t mean much as far as statistic goes, but every friend I "initiated" to Resident Evil (some of them died even before reaching the Police Station in 2) has come to see dodging as a rather valuable "tool" for progressing through a good chunk of the game(s). Some consistently pull off No Damage runs nowadays. Really, in regards to judging new gamers on today’s standards being awkward, I don’t know what to tell you, Survival Horror was a niche genre even back then, with time things worsened. You can’t bring random gamers in the discussion and expect me to treat them nicely, because as you’ve rightly said, they would try things which don’t work in the older RE(s).
Personally and I do stress that word, I try my best to avoid any unnecessary confrontation, I like to pull off No lesser-kills runs (that’s something that I do also with the Metal Gear Solid games, I take pity on patrols and let Bosses have it). Speaking of those, don’t worry: I get as trigger-happy as one can get on them, I make sure they hate Grenade Launcher, Shotguns or Magnums. I still use ammo wisely, I’m simply more selective in my picks.

Good for you if the scarcity of ammo pushed you to find the most efficient ways to kill enemies; I’ve been pushed to dodge better. Different strokes for different folks. Technically, both your way and mine are perfectly doable:

– Your "idea" works best when the player knows where to collect most ammo, at least (with no small thanks to repeated playthroughs, most likely).
– My "idea" implies that the player has done enough runs of the game to know how the enemies attack+where they are, and by doing multiple runs you also get a general idea of healing-items’ positions, so even the bits of damage one might suffer while attempting to dodge aren’t much of an issue. You’re hardly getting worse than Caution [Yellow] and you’re going back to "Fine" soon enough.

My point, instead, was that a first-timer can’t exactly afford to use ammo wisely, why? Because he/she doesn’t know shit about the game. Dodging may be complicated, but you should know that killing, or rather, "making your kills count" might prove to be a problem, too.

RE2 was the bomb. That was a real survival game.
The Walking Dead before any medium of TWD. Convserve ammo, risk life for herbs, cautiously check behind counters, avoid killing if you can, go for melee if it’s entirely feasible (especially if you know the area having died a time or two), know when to run, get very used to the clunky controls. enjoy cheesy dialogue and look forward to any cinematic. 2 was non-stop fun to play.
I’m completely ignorant of the newest RE games. I hear a lot but i think I’m just going to wait until one of these christmas sales where I luck out and just grab a major bundle off Steam.

I actually made it to the police station without picking up ammo for the costume, and I did a lot of it through dodging Leon.

Dodging is possible, especially early on is pretty easy.

I never beat the actual game though.I do agree with vrykolas and Leon though.knife can sometimes be useful but I think it’s often not too useful in early re games.Its not like re4 where the knife was really good.On the other hand I do think you have no choice but to dodge if you want to avoid having no ammo.I watched a guy named necroscope86 beat re1 by running through the game and didn’t get hit.Even I managed to avoid getting bit by yawn.I ran through got the item on the floor and ran out no poisons.

Yeah, the one zombie which might get "tricky" is the one crawling inside the bus, aside from that, Raccoon City’s exteriors offer plenty of room to dodge. Personally, I never understood why folks consider tank controls clunky, to me they’re rather intuitive: I push forward on the D-Pad/Whatever? I go forward regardless of camera angles, God knows I often found my face getting uncomfortably acquainted with walls in many current games, thanks to the "updated" controls and sudden shifts.

I actually plan to "knife-only" REmake’s Invisible mode, eventually, I’ve attempted it on the GameCube version, but the console died on me before I could complete the game. I just have to pick a character: Jill has an easier Scenario than Chris. I’ll probably start once the lady is done with her game.

The streets filled with zombies are dead ends though (i.e you never have to come back there), so my rule of don’t kill such enemies applies. Any fool can tell if you start with 15 shots, and the first zombie is still alive after your first 3 shots, then it probably isn’t a good idea to try and kill all the zombies here. The intro in most of the games blatantly tries to intimidate the player with numbers and scarcity of ammo. Its a smart move to set up the mood of the game, but when you get tooled up (you get the shotgun through the first door in the game), then your ability to handle lots of zombies quickly increases. But like I said, the early screens are just one use paths you never return to, and you’ve only just started the game – its hardly a fair example, as you literally have just a handful of bullets there and the encounters are specifically designed to make new gamers blow all their ammo.

Secondly, using ammo wisely applies doesn’t mean you need access to all the weapons and ammo – its about using what you have wisely against the enemies you are meeting, and the game scales to what it thinks you are likely to have. The game doesn’t throw large numbers of dangerous enemies at you until you have a chance at beating them. The Hunters don’t show up until halfway though RE1, when you’ll have most of the weapons. Lickers are about in RE2 from the early going, but they treated as mini bosses ambushing you in important areas (they are usually guarding quest items), before later becoming standard enemies. You are never placed in a situation where your weapons are completely ineffective against the local monsters. When your weapons improve and you get the better weapons, the screens start to be refreshed with tougher enemies. Again, its all about common sense and best utilizing what you currently have access to. The handgun is terrible at taking out Hunters and spiders for example, but its not as if the game floods the early sections with those, is it?

You and your friends all became dodge masters if I read it correctly and do No Damage playthoughs. Well, good for you I guess. I can’t deny that whilst impressive, it seems completely pointless to me, making things needlessly complicated. But its up to you (and like I say, is still impressive). Running past enemies, saving ammo for some imaginary point in the future when you’d need such a mountain of weapons serves no purpose IMO. Plus, its just boring but again that just my opinion. I’ve never understood the appeal of speedruns or No Damage playthroughs, Who cares? The people who want to do them, I suppose. But to me, I just cannot understand why people do it. Survival horrors are (to me anyway) creeping about eerie locations, occasionally engaging in life or death struggles and savoring the atmosphere etc. Not running past all the enemies and leaving them with dumb expressions on their faces like an episode of Scooby Doo.

But each to their own. I don’t look down on new gamers for not knowing what to do, or how to play flawlessly (nor do I dismiss people’s playing styles that differ from mine, as they wouldn’t be doing it if it didn’t work for them). As to newer gamers though, well they’ll pick it up and find what works for them if they’ve got the perseverance and the ability to recognize a good game when they see it. My point is that new gamers are necessarily coming at this from a modern standpoint to an old game and an old genre that barely exists in its original form nowadays. That’s a lot of baggage to contend with, and it colors how people approach games in general.

Decent game, but its reaaaallllly long and even though I’m over 20 hours in, there is still no suggestion *at all* of any kind of main plot, or that any of this might be going somewhere. I’ve fought all kinds of monsterous bosses, but only 1 named character who was obviously a villain of some kind. And even then, the encounter was so vague it told me nothing.

I like a good long RPG, and this is very well written and has some very enjoyable combat. But the pace is glacial to an almost comical degree, especially in this day and age. I’m enjoying it, but it really needs to step up a gear and provide some focus to the main plot.

I have mixed feelings about multiplayer since it’s far too hard.Im only able to get around 15k xp on bronze.In e last match the highest had 23k Xp and second over 18k.I had over 15k.I did just start multiplayer yesterday so i don’t fully have every item.Seems like even with rolling with x on PS3, I end up getting ambushed and dying.Yesterday I rolled to avoid a laser beam from a reaper, and ended up ambushed and needing help.I wish I could change the camera angle so I’m not blindsided from what is behind me.I seriously do not like the camera angles at all.So far I think the pvp in gears of war judgement is more fun, due to being able to see behind you and not constantly being ambushed from behind which seriously pisses me off.

Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer has the right amount of challenge as long as you’re on a good team, based on my experience(except for Platinum, it’s waaaay too hard). It’s so much fun. Man, I really should play that again.

Been playing Tomb Raider(PS1) lately. I figured I might as well since I never played it legitimately(by that, I mean, when I was a kid, I never really…"played it right", if I remember correctly.

I like long games too, but 80+ hours? Considering that it barely has a main story at all, and the drama only really gets going in the final cutscenes?! Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it too and I do like long games. But this game really pushes its luck, by around Chapter 4. By then, the identical forumua for each (and every) chapter really starts to chafe and you just wish the game would change things up a bit.

As well as the length of the game eventually exposing a lack of variety, narrative pacing is important in these kinds of things, and this game just does not want to give you any answers, even at the end. Its a testament to how engaging they made it, that I am still on the hook to know what happens next (although the final half hour brings in some new elements that I really wish they hadn’t put it).

I have no problems with games being long, if they justify being that length. A good RPG can hit a sweet spot in its narrative and have you ride the crest of the wave for pretty much as long as it feels like, so long as it stays exciting and you feel like you absolutely must keep playing to see what happens next etc. But that’s hard to maintain, and without it a game can feel like it should have ended ages ago. And gameplay obviously matters too – a game’s combat can be fun, but after 60+ hours, not many RPGs can entice you to keep playing on gameplay merits alone.

Trails of Cold Steel is long, but its also very slow, and never manages (or even tries) to maintain dramatic excitement. It has an infuriating formula for each chapter that it sticks to like the Gospel, constantly hitting the reset button just as you’re really starting to enjoy yourself. Because God knows they make you work for those dramatic moments, with hours and hours and hours of busy work fetching and carrying, and seemingly endless scene setting, world building and preamble.

Since my last post, I’ve been playing:
FreezeMe, an indie Mario 64 clone. Pretty fun, surprisingly challenging, but like M64, pretty buggy. Haven’t beaten the last level yet.
Disgaea 5. Got re-addicted to it, got a few 9999 characters, trying to get all of the rank 40 weapons.
FFVII. Still not very far.
Child of Eden. Beat the main game.
Bayonetta 2. Beaten on normal.
Demos of Amplitude, Hyper Void, Toukiden Kiwami, Indivisible.
Of all of these, Amplitude is my favorite so I ordered the PS2 Amplitude and Frequency.

Also, I agree with pretty much everyone here regarding Trails of Cold Steel. I liked it enough to see it through to the end, but yeah. Very long because it was needlessly slow. If I didn’t like the characters as much as I did (Instructor Sara, Towa and Crow were my favorites), it probably wouldn’t have been worth it to play through the whole thing. I had the same problem with Trails in the Sky too. I still want to play the sequel when it’s eventually released (I knew it would be a trilogy going in, so the cliffhanger came as no surprise to me).

Also, take a shot every time someone prefixes their line with "Haha".

Star,
You said it was a top 10 game for you, so you clearly felt it was worth going into. So I did for the purposes of challenging that opinion. But the fact remains that I don’t consider the story to be good enough in the final analysis to continue talking about it. Like I said, it started very promising and people were really into it. But the final episodes just didn’t cut it and you can already see that its being quickly forgotten because of that. It was a case of nearly, but not quite.

It is is allowed for people to post comments about games they didn’t care for, contrary to the ‘You must always be positive and never say anything negative’ crap that so many insist on. I meant what I said in my original post, I gave credit where it was due but took issue with the rest. But that doesn’t mean that I want to *keep* talking about it. I’ve said my piece, and I really don’t have anything further to add. I’m not trying to be funny. I just feel like I’ve said all I care to say about LIS.

As to the cliffhanger in TOCS (and no I won’t spoil anything, don’t worry), I was disappointed with the nature of the new element that was introduced in that chapter (its really not my thing). But perhaps more than that, I just felt the ending was very abrupt. I wasn’t that bothered with anything that happened, but I still felt like they could have given us at least a little more information than ‘Game over – see you next time’. Especially when they’d left so many questions unanswered.

But yeah… slow, slow game. Good, but slooooow. And every time I hear Viscount Arseid and Rufus Albarea speak, I think ‘Hey, its Barry Burton and Albert Wesker from RE… I’d rather be playing RE really…’ lol On the whole, the characters were a likeable but fairly routine bunch of stereotypes. Most of my favorite characters are the crackpot NPCs from the school (Beryl, Dorothee, Munk, Lambert etc).

You only play for the intro of the dlc as Jack… for the rest you play as Evie Frye. I know you hate the Assassin’s Creed Games Vrykolas, but honestly you should give them a try… Black Flag and Syndicate are my two personal favorites (with the Ezio trilogy coming third).

Vrykolas
02-22-2016, 02:08 AM
Its my own fault for needing to play series in order. It means I feel I have to play Assassin’s Creed 1 first, but I just *cannot* play that game. Its too boring and Altair just does my freaking nut in. I have toyed with the idea from time to time of skipping on to AC2 which is apparently much, much better. But… I just can’t quite break the chains on this. Its an impossible square to circle – my code demands I play that first game, but it sucks so hard that despite about 20 different attempts, I just can’t bring myself to play it beyond the first couple of hours.

And yes, Syndicate did look like the one AC game that I actually *should* enjoy. Its definately my kind of time period. But the idea of jumping into the series right at the end is enough to cause a Blue Screen of Death in my mind. Does.. not… compute!


Darth Revan
02-22-2016, 02:49 AM
Well… Syndicate only has references to the earlier games… it’s a great standalone game and Ubisoft redeemed themselves BIG TIME after the disaster that was Unity. I can understand playing a series from the first… I used to be like that as well, until I decided ‘Fuck it’.

Case in point, I LOVE the Dynasty Warriors series… started with the 2nd game and ignored the first.

I would strongly suggest however, that you at least consider getting AC Syndicate… it IS worth it.

AC2 which is apparently much, much better.

The Ezio trilogy is far better than AC1


Vrykolas
02-22-2016, 03:00 AM
I’ll think about it. Hell, its not like I’m playing anything else lol!

But yeah, kicking the habit on playing series in order is brutal. It just kills me that I can’t break through that pain barrier in AC1. I’ve completed just about every game I’ve ever owned, and I hated plenty of those games. But I wanted to get my money’s worth and at least be able to say that I gave them a fair try. But AC1’s dreadfully repetitive gameplay, and my utter hatred of Altair defeat me every time.


Darth Revan
02-22-2016, 03:10 AM
I know your pain. Believe me…

I have the same feelings about AC1 as you… and when ACII came out, I swore not to play it.

But… saw it sometime later on special… thought why not, glad I did.

Altair’s unlikable… and that’s being polite. Ezio is far better.

It does nothing for me, but that’s just my opinion. I’ve never been into stealth, and I don’t like playing as thieves and assassins. It also doesn’t help that I’ve always liked the Knights Templars, so its hard for me to get into a series where they are the baddies, and the Good guys are some surly, moody types who go around dressed in hoodies.

Tanis

The Assassins are the baddies, and it’s probably the more action-based one of the series.

Vrykolas
02-24-2016, 12:44 AM
From what I understood though, Rogue was just a cheap cash in on AC4’s success. And the assassin’s being the bad guys is very much just a cosmetic change that means nothing. And besides, I don’t care for pirates either. Unlike mostly everyone in the western world it seems, I don’t like pirates, ninjas, assassins, thieves, stealth games, assassination games etc etc.

There are always exceptions, but AC is not one of them (for me anyway).

Not really. Resident Evil HD is supported on RESIDENTEVIL.NET, both it and Zero HD got an updated control scheme (you can still choose to play with the original layouts, if you want, I’m more used to tank controls, with the new ones I had Jill faceplant against walls way too often), a few extra outfits are unlocked right from the start in Zero HD, also, you get one extra outfit for both Chris and Jill, to have them look like their Resident Evil 5 counterparts.
The games have been Remastered in HD, as such, the only thing they should have gotten done to them are small upgrades here and there, otherwise, the required term would have been remake. At their cores, they’re the same games we played back then and I’m thankful for it, personally. Players get to experience two little gems from the past exactly as they are supposed to be played.

Did the HD ports of the two ZONE OF THE ENDERS, Metal Gear Solid(s), ICO/Shadow of the Colossus get stuff added to them, or were they pretty much the same games, only looking prettier? HD Editions are more often than not ways for developers to make quick cash, but they serve another purpose: preserve games and allow nowadays’ gamers to enjoy them.

Couldn’t agree more. The more stuff you add, the less the original game shines. I don’t remember getting apprehensive while playing the original blocky characters RE for PS1 but then, when it got remastered for GC, wow, never felt so scared even around the Yawn boss. Anyway, now I have enough reasons to buy them for the 3rd time, TKS!

I gave a try to BroForce on PS4 recently. The game is rather nice, I’m currently on what I perhaps mistakenly call zone #13, unlocked the Predator (Brodator), but damn… What a crappy port. I’m plagued by the lose control of your character for a few seconds glitch, which happens at the start of a level/respawn, as well as terrible drops in frame rate. Icing on the cake: the game inexplicably crashes on me after 10 minutes of having set up a public online lobby (already tried deleting+re-downloading, issue still shows up), I can play other games online just fine, so I don’t think my console, nor my Internet connection are to blame.
Personally speaking, I’d be rather pissed if I paid for a game in this condition; I hope a patch is coming, I’d like to complete it.

Back to RE Zero HD, for the time being.

I mentioned the Darkwraith covenant because the last time I played DS I finally joined it and got the trophy. Never thought I’d beat Quelaag before the Bell Gargoyles but for me following the "usual" of ringing the gargoyles’ bell first and after hers could ruin everything, I could forget and ring without wanting it (I’d hate to keep ignoring Frampt when I wanted to talk only with Kaathe). Not into DS in the moment but been watching a lot of footage from DS III, looks decent and hard enough, can’t wait to play one day. But gotta come back to DS and platinum. Missing the "Knight’s Honor" trophy and some weapon related ones.

All this FF15 news, and here I am just waiting on a FF9 PC release date…

Yeah… I’ve seen some sites absolutely explode with erotic and violent explosions of nerdgasms over FFXV… I’ve played both Demo’s (The one available to those who purchases Type-0 and the recently released one) and… I’ve been a FF fan since the beginning… and I have to say I’m not impressed with XV. While it does look good (graphically)… it’s a damn sausage fest with regurgitated story from earlier FF’s…

I guess my fondness for the FF games will stay to the NES, SNES and PSX era… as well as the MMO’s.

Back to GoW III, going for the "Unhuman" thophy.
Heh, good times. I personally found Titan difficulty in GoWⅢ to be way easier than the ones in GoW and GoWⅡ. Well, those with the PS4 Remaster should have an even easier time with that trophy, thanks to the glitch.

Still on Frontline here, was close to completing "The Golden Lion" level, but the game froze on me (playing the HD Edition bundled with Medal of Honor, retail version). Between all those games crashing/freezing that both PS3 and PS4 got me used to, I miss the good ol’ PS2 days, the worst I had happen to me there was save data corruption with Soul Calibur Ⅱ (something which, according to the Internet, was likely to happen on the PS2 version if you left the autosave feature on).

Don’t know if I’ll bother Platinum(ing) RE 0, going through it caused me to remember why I played it only once back then, I’d rather attempt a second Platinum of RE5 and RE6, that’s telling since they’re not my favourite kind of RE games. Besides, got the Platinum on the far superior REmake, can live with that ().

As far as the PS4 re-release of GoWⅢ is concerned, there seems to be a glitch which has you keep maxed health/magic bars+maxed out weapons (http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/god-war-iii/43902-extremely-easy-way-beat-titan-mode.html), don’t know if they patched it by now; didn’t bother buying the Remaster, already got the Platinum on the PS3 release, it was actually my 3rd Platinum.

I managed to get through without cheating, but at the helicopter part, I had no other choice but to cheat. That, and I was completely out of healing items.

Now, Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. I didn’t exactly hear good things about it, but you never know. I might like it, or I might not. We’ll just have to see.

Edit: Well, I died from a jump, and I forgot to save at a certain point, so I don’t really feel like putting up with the movement controls(that are somehow worse than previous ones). I might give it another chance, but I don’t know.

I think I’ll turn to Silent Hill 3 instead. I don’t think I ever finished it legitimately(I played off of my mother’s saves, I believe).

Gave a try to ZOMBI on PS4, thanks to the PS Plus: rather good game, thus far (I’ve reached the point where I need to survive in some kind of arena, my stuff has been taken away from me). It’s what I expected Dying Light to be, at first: a Survival game. DL is fun in its own right, but there’s not much survival/resources’ management to be had.

Also, connected my PS3 again to re-download TEKKEN REVOLUTION; I guess Bandai Namco stopped supporting that game. I’ve kept my old save, downloaded and installed the game, I noticed right off the bat something was wrong: I wasn’t prompted to download any update (and I’m fairly sure there were a few GBs of them, at least), Practice Mode disappeared from the main menu, a good chunk of the roster is inexplicably gone (I can select Jin Kazama, but there’s no Asuka, Jun, or Bob), Arcade Battle is completely screwed up – there’s no difficulty-selection, opponents don’t have enhanced stats and more often than not I either get stuck on the versus screen, or have Jinpachi as my first opponent (needless to say, both events cause the game soft-freeze). Oh, right, when I try Ranked Battle, the practice stage against the CPU-dummy doesn’t load, or I get stuck at the world map loading-screen after a match against a player. Do you want me to get again TTT2 that bad, Namco? My Jin Kazama has been praised by a few Yaksa, in the past, too bad my Internet screws me up so often.

Hope you don’t unintentionally break ZOMBI to the point where it can’t be finished, because that’s what happened to me. I don’t even feel like starting over after that happened.

Still on Silent Hill 4. I’ve been creeped out a couple of times, but I’ll probably be scared by the time the hauntings in room 302 get worse the further you progress. Man, I keep thinking back to that head slowly falling when you look at one of the windows. I don’t know why, but it just seemed very disturbing to me.

Yeah, I’ve read that ZOMBI suffers from glitches/bugs. Thankfully, I’ve already avoided two, at least (I suppose I shouldn’t use avoided, the glitches/bugs didn’t simply occur): I left the nursery where I had to find some medicine without troubles (you could get stuck in there), the fuel needed for the generator in the hideout spawned and I could collect it; if I have to trust the "reports" I’ve found, I only have another major game-breaking glitch/bug to fear and it happens in one of the latter missions, close to the ending.
If crap happens and I’m unable to finish it, too bad, but I’ve got to play it for free, I’m not one of the unlucky ones who paid for a broken game (yeah, game, not port, the original on Wii is plagued by the same game-breaking bugs).

1) Mentally prepare yourself for a "WTF moment" at about 15-20 minutes from the end of the game, something the (then)SQUARESOFT would later pull also with FINAL FANTASY IX’s final boss, if you’ve played that;
2) Understand how Junction works, draw everything (maximum units of spells, keep an eye especially on Bosses, some of them have G.F. for you) and you won’t have to level up, ever. Seriously, the stronger you become, the stronger common enemies and most Bosses get (if memory serves me right, only Ultima and Omega Weapons are always at level 100);
3) Play Triple Triad and collect a lot of cards, then transform them into items using one of Quezacotl’s (or something like that) skills, it’s the Thunder G.F. you get at the start of the game, along with Shiva.

This morning I tried to enjoy a few matches in Black Ops Ⅲ, but there are too many campers.

Back to Final Fantasy VIII

1. I never played Final Fantasy IX, so whatever it may be, I’m probably gonna get confused anyway. :p

2. The tutorial(s) did a nice job explaining Junction, so I’ll definitely be using it. I’ve seen two draw spots at the academy, but had no idea what they do. Guess I’ll find out soon.

3. The card game sounds interesting after reading the tutorial about it. I just hope I don’t suck at it lol.

Switching between Grand Theft Auto Ⅴ and ZOMBI: with the former I’m currently replaying the storyline-missions (already completed that on the PS3) and I might actually try GTA online, didn’t bother on PS3 because of hackers.
As far as ZOMBI is concerned, got past a rather nasty mission (the mission should be called something along the lines of: Save the girl at Saint George Church) and I guess I’m reaching the end of the game, only have to collect a few letters scattered around the areas. If comments on the Web can be trusted, at the point I’ve reached I may still incur in one last game-breaking bug/glitch, before I’m "safe".

Yeah, I’m leaving Resident Evil Zero behind and it may even be pushed further when I buy Mortal Kombat Ⅹ and the ⅩL Pack, I miss fighting games and that seems to be the best one currently available, there should be a nice amount of content to unlock in single player. Preddy and Aly are nice incentives for the purchase, too.

Still on ZOMBI, the even-glitchier-than-WiiU-version port on PS4 (they’ve ported a version of the code which doesn’t have a few patches applied… Still, not as bad as the PS4 version of God of War Ⅲ, in that one there’s still the glitch which allows you to go from the three judges statues to the final segment of the game, they had patched it on the PS3 :itsamystery:). Let’s move on to business:

– Collected all Dee Letters, just need to get them to the doctor;
– Hacked 15/16 CCTV Junction Boxes (the last one should be located in an area of Buckingham Palace that I’ll unlock now that I’m near the end of the game);
– Killed 200 zombies with one survivor (tedious task for a Gold Trophy, but at least you can farm kills, since zombies respawn in the areas). Not fun stuff for me, but it may get a laugh out of you: my first character died with 183 kills, damn Arena~show/ambush, wasted other six characters at that part…

Hoping I’ll have no glitches from here to the end of the game, I’ll try to complete the game in Survival Mode, too, for the Platinum; the game shows you the "Credits roll" and deletes your save as soon as you die in Survival Mode, but there’s a simple workaround to that awesome permadeath thing: save backup, rather hilarious ZOMBI allows you to restore a save, honestly thought they [devs] would lock it. Normally, I wouldn’t be so cheap, but the game’s so damn glitchy/buggy that I’m not ashamed to "cheat".

Nice! You must’ve gotten lucky.

Battlefield 4
Yeah, I did. There has been an instance where I panicked and thought to be stuck in a glitch, but in reality, I didn’t notice a zombie crawling out from where I was supposed to go. :laugh: I spoiled myself the ending escape bit first, though:
The whole place is full of zombies by then, every area has a lot more, even the Sewers. All the manholes-shortcuts get blocked again and you are supposed to reach the Tower of London… Saw a guy on Youtube take the long route for it, but I’ve found that you might reach it much faster by going through the door which would lead you to the "Church of Saint George," the game then points you to a path through the sewers which ends right in front of the Tower. There’s a problem, though: pack of zombies near the door in the Safehouse, never ran so much, they made them scary… That, or I simply shouldn’t have played with Headphones jacked in and volume to the max.

At any rate: what helped me a lot with glitches was reading what might trigger them and, for the worst-case scenario (like the Survivor dying in a particular spot which would glitch the game and prevent me from retrieving key items), I always kept a save backup on an external device. ZOMBI is a mess of bugs/glitches, but those things have been Ubilol’s trademark for years (pick an Assassin’s Creed), there are safety measures one could take.

Read something on ZOMBI (which for me is extremely annoying) this morning: difficulty-specific trophies do not stack, three complete runs are needed… One for Chicken/Easy, another for Standard/Normal and the grand final for Survival Mode. Could think of it as training, I suppose, but I might lose interest and leave it at 82%. resident evil HD has them stack.


vrykolakas
05-09-2016, 11:44 PM
I thought basically every game did. But don’t give up – Platinum trophies always have that moment where you think ‘Am I really going to put myself through this level of tedium just to get a digital badge that doesn’t really matter at all?’

Its the main hurdle to getting most Platinums really. Push on through the pain – you’ve done the hard work, so not getting it because you didn’t finish the game on Easy would be hard to accept I would think!


Leon Scott Kennedy
05-10-2016, 07:51 AM
I don’t find games annoying, usually, but that’s because even the useless crap defined trophies is designed better; look at resident evil HD: you could get most difficulty-specific trophies (Easy, Normal, Hard) in one go by completing a Scenario on Hard. I don’t "hunt" for Platinums/100%, most of mine just happened (by that I mean I simply played, often I don’t even look at the list until I feel I’m mostly done); there were just three in my collection I really wanted: DEVIL MAY CRY 4 Special Edition, resident evil/REmake HD and Medal of Honor Frontline HD.
As for ZOMBI, actually, I did finish the game on Easy first, I was hoping I could earn the two remaining trophies simply by completing Survival Mode… The buggy/glitchy mess which the game happens to be doesn’t really help my resolve, but there are zombies and it’s still a decent survival horror, I’ll eventually get it, my Plus subscription has to be renewed in October, got plenty of time. In the meantime, I’ll take a short break from it: going to take care of my FFXIV character in a while and I also want to keep my skills with Vergil in DEVIL MAY CRY 4 Special Edition at a satisfying level.

For me it depends on how well the trophy list is put together, and whether it encourages me to replay/gives me a good excuse to replay and try things I wouldn’t normally have bothered with. Poor trophy lists that feature the need for excessive grinding or requiring you to finish the game in number of mutually exclusive ways (i.e collect of X items/never collect any of X items etc) really kill my enthusiasm to get a Platinum though.

The first time I played FF8, I had to cast Shell on Rinoa and use my GFs, healing her up quickly afterwards. People say FF8 is easy, but if you don’t have the guide to find the rather obscure items you need for powering up your weapons etc it gets really hard later on. GFs are so incredible early on that its really easy to use them as a crutch and be totally screwed later on when they aren’t as useful.

Leon Scott Kennedy
05-22-2016, 11:38 AM
Huh. Adel… I’ll never forget my first playthrough of FFⅧ: managed to reach that boss fight with the three Basic GFs (Shiva, Quezawhatsitsname, Ifrit), needless to say, I kept getting "raped". :laugh: Actually, it was because of that stupid mistake that I learnt to draw spells and ???? from everything I came across, I didn’t do it the first time. Ever since then, against Adel I would later momentarily switch Junction for Rinoa and take my risks with Renzokuken or, if I wanted to play safe, the martial artist’s Duel technique. Adel stopped being a problem, if I’m lucky with the timer, I may even bring that boss down by using a single special technique.

Still playing DEVIL MAY CRY 4 Special Edition on PS4, I dream of "No Damaging" the whole Bloody Palace with Vergil, I can consistently No Damage the firsts 51 floors for now, then that bonus is scattered around the remaining 60 floors.

After that, I’ll return to Resident Evil Zero, I guess… Need to complete it on Normal difficulty to make use of all the nice stuff I’ll unlock on its Leech Hunter mode.

RE0 is awful. I still consider it the worst of the main series, due to the tired unambitious nature of the game and the silly retcon scenario it portrays. I liked Rebecca and Billy, but they need a much better game than this. Its unfortunate that the dire state of that game seems to have been the nail in both those character’s coffins. They were about the only thing that *didn’t* suck in that game!

That inventory system… Not wanting to put myself through that idiotic ‘dump items in a big heap in the corner of the main hall’ nonsense is a big factor in why I don’t intend to play the game ever again. Its a shame really, as the bit on the train at the start is actually very good (silly ‘leeches that can turn into humans’ antics notwithstanding).

I used to have a very similar opinion to yours, about Zero, but since I took time to think about it: the only thing I find really bad about the game is having 6 inventory slots for each character (earlier entries gave us more), apart from that, the game plays exactly like REmake’s "Real Survival" mode (instead of backtracking to that particular item box to retrieve an item, you go back to a room), minus the Hard difficulty perks, unless one picks that setting, of course. I’ve re-evaluated Zero, it’s not that bad. Real Survival on steroids.


vrykolakas
05-25-2016, 02:10 AM
The dumping of items is completely pointless. To avoid completely losing track of where you left stuff, you are sensible if you only do so in certain easily reachable rooms (like the entrance hall for example). So it ends up being the same, but without the convience of having the item box in those rooms – instead everything is just scattered across the floor.

And it isn’t just the inventory. The story is poor, with nothing of any real interest, no good set pieces etc after the train. The geography of the game ma,es no sense with Rebecca starting near the mansion, coming back into Raccoon City to get into the re2 locations, then somehow teleporting all the way back out into the mountains to be near the mansion again at the end. And Enrico does the same despite not even being on the train at the start he manages to get to the facility and then back to the mansion again in time for RE1. It makes no sense at all.

So a leaden story that goes nowhere, a frankly ridiculous plot about leeches that can merge to become humans, a terrible co-op partner puzzle and item swapping system, and endless recycling of the classic Snake mutated creature boss with a variety of other creatures that never provide an encounter anywhere close to the aforementiond slitherer… Its just RE by numbers. The rote nature of this game was what drove Capcom to change the RE formula and send us down the blind alley of the RE4 and onwards era, so zero has a hell of a lot to answer for IMO.

It just feels like such a low ambition retread. It has none of the atmosphere of RE1 and the daft lengths it goes to in order to try and justify its silly retconned story for characters who are the definition of Supporting Cast make it feel like a huge waste of time on everyone’s part – both Capcom’s for making it and ours for playing it.

Man, two points:

1) Set up your Junction(s) to three characters;
2) "Help" yourself by killing the characters you don’t want early in the fight (against Ultimecia).

Then, you’ll only have to pummel the Bosses with Special/Desperation techniques (Renzokuken, etcetera). Also, if you have acquired Bahamut as GF, transform its card for 100 Megalixirs, or Megaelixirs. Those fights should be a piece of cake, assuming you have beaten all the Guardians and unlocked the Commands.

If he hasn’t powered up his weapons, then it won’t be easy at all. Doubly so if he hasn’t been stocking good spells and applying them to his party’s stats. Its very easy to coast through most of the game and still not really get a grip on this stuff until the very end. And who can be bothered to grind out that stuff at the very end? Not to mention that all the villages and shops are locked by Ultimecia’s dimension warp, so you can’t do any upgrading unless you got Tonberry King and Doomtrain.

Frankly the final battle is a real pain if you haven’t powered your weapons up to the highest levels and gotten a firm handle on how junctioning works. You need lots of good spells in every category, or your characters just won’t be strong enough or fast enough. The bosses will be having about 3 turns for every 1 you get etc. The final battle(s) are sort of like the battles against Cid Raines and Barthandelous in FF13, in that they act as an acid test to see if you really understand how the game works, or whether you just *thought* you did.

If Squall can do Lionheart, then you at least have a chance. Powered up properly and with Aura cast on him, Squall can win this fight by himself. If not…

Not really, man. Seriously, that’s not true, if he’s playing the original PlayStation version. I’ve completed that multiple times without levelling at all throughout the years… The only two bosses which are always stuck at LVL 100, regardless of the average level of your party, are Ultima Weapon and Omega Weapon; the rest of the bosses tend to scale with you and provide an appropriate challenge for whatever level you are at, when you fight them. There’s no point to levelling up in FFⅧ, it’s useless grinding, therefore:

– "Tame" Bahamut as a GF;
– Transform its card with the Thunder GF’s skill for the 100 Megaelixirs;
– When you reach Ultimecia’s Castle, make sure you unlock at least Items and Special techniques, then SPAM them. You’ll get to see the Ending.

I did that and I know for a fact it works. Of course, you may also try cheapening the whole thing by using Selphie’s "The End," if I remember correctly, that thing takes out Omega Weapon, but I currently don’t remember if it works on the last "team" of Bosses, too.

EDIT:
To elaborate further on what I was trying to say: the Junction system is a great help (and "breaks" the game when used effectively), but you can really complete Ⅷ without that, or levelling up a lot. Couple that with the fact both common enemies and bosses tend to be set at 4/5, or 6/5 of the average party-level and you’re not going to have much trouble. Renzokuken, Duel [Manual inputs] and some of Selphie’s stuff are more than enough to "rape" Ultimecia’s first form and what is beyond that, personally tested.
At any rate, if one still hasn’t grasped the Junction system by the time he/she reaches endgame quests, all I have to say (and I’m including my past self in this) is that the person is extremely lazy, or extremely stupid; if there’s one thing Ⅷ did rather right, is explain how stuff works (and you always have access to information/tutorials through the Menu/Status Screen, so no excuses for ignoring them that long).

Digital version on PS3, to be exact.

Alright! After heeding Leon’s two points, some Junction rearranging, getting 100 megaelixers(I obtained Bahamut long before I went into the castle, I just never thought about using Bahamut’s card to get the megaelixers), and a couple of soft restarts, I finally beat Ultimecia. Would’ve been nice to beat her with Lionheart. Oh, well.

Her final form wasn’t too bad, but it was soooooo boring. I can’t help but remember how satisfying it was to beat Sephiroth’s One Winged Angel form.

Oh:

Everything is easy when you know how goes the old saying. My point is that without knowing these things, the game is very hard and first time players are spectacularly unlikely to know this without a guide or someone coaching them. Its yet another example of a game that is generally so easy that you never really feel the need to learn how its systems work, only to eventually be hit with a ‘final exam’ that you have no idea how to pass.

Ultimecia and Adel are classic difficulty spikes, and expose the same problems that many games have – that they don’t give players a reason to learn the systems, so they don’t bother. Its terrible design and this sort of thing happens all the time. Sephiroth’s various forms have similar issues (like Bizarro where you are obliged to use several teams, but the game never promotes the idea that you are ever going to need everyone to be levelled up and so many players arrive there with an ultimate team and a lot of slackers who have basic equipment and are lagging behind it levels etc). Sure you can use Knights of the Round and 2 shot him, but getting that means getting the Gold Chocobo – an involved, Guide Dang It process that statistically only a miniscule amount of hardcore fans ever get (though many people here probably have lol)

My only real point is we shouldn’t confuse ‘Its easy if you have these obscure items and know exactly to exploit them etc’ to mean that its easy period. Easy is when you can take a fairly rag tag crew of badly equipped characters, give a boss a few chops and that’s that. If a game is easy when you got the super secret sword of never being killedness from the invisible locked broom cupboard that you can only see by dying 500 times to the weakest enemy in the game etc, but really hard any other time, then its not really an easy game is it?

Nevertheless, well done to Dodo and his wise old owl Leon. A winner is you! ๐Ÿ˜€

The PS3’s digital version is a "bootable image" of the original PlayStation game, so no worries there.

Heh. We kinda said bits of the same stuff. In my experience, the player is to blame; to speak the truth, I think some stupidity has to be involved: I didn’t have Internet (so no GameFAQs, nor official strategy guide knowledge) in 1999, but I didn’t need any of that to come to the conclusion both enemies and bosses tend to "become stronger" along with my team in Ⅷ – in one game I was weaker, but then I reloaded a previous save, gained 30-40 levels and I noticed the increased damage dealt to me; in a more subtle way, the fact a first timer is likely to reach an 85%-90% of "story completion rate" without worrying about Junction & co. is a testament to the inner working of the game, I’m referring again to the whole "enemies and bosses providing an appropriate challenge," Junction and stronger weapons do not factor into it, that leads to one being able to beat Ⅷ by spamming Renzokuken and Duel, no Triple Triad, the only Junction he/she gets to do is the one granting you access to commands like "Item"/"Draw".
Other than that, Ⅷ provides excellent tutorials, attention+trial and error+some approximation of logical thinking… There’s technically no excuse to not know how stuff works the first time around, guides in-game are always available, so… As I stated at the beginning: the player’s to blame, the game is easy.
Let’s take a look at the fact Ultimecia randomly picks three characters to fight against, let’s assume you have used only three for most of the game… The slight amount of panic/fear induced by the way the fight is designed doesn’t last long, why? Because it won’t take long for a downed character to get swapped with someone else, 2+2 = quicken the process up and get your favourites on the spotlight, unless you’re a masochist, of course.

As for Ⅶ and Bizarro: I was almost never forced to use different teams against that form (most of the times, I was only asked to set up a single team, the rest of the cast got blown away right before the fight started), in the few instances someone else besides my main team stuck around, I remember the game suggesting the switch, once a side got downed, but I could have kept fighting with the same characters. And breeding a Gold Chocobo is a pain in the ass, is far more easier to kill the Weapons, there’s the whole EXP+AP benefit, too.

Going to restart Ⅷ myself today, want to see if I still remember how to get Lionheart in Disk 1.

Well you can claim that its player stupidity all you want, but I deal in the actual reality of things. Players never bother to learn systems they don’t feel they need. That’s why people ignore crafting in games (other than in a purely cosmetic Fashion Souls sense anyway), never bother with elemental properties for weapons, why people have all kinds of anxiety over creature fusion in the Shin Megami Tensei games etc etc etc. When just levelling up, and whacking monsters with the strongest weapons you’ve found works against 95% of the opponents you face for the majority of the time in most RPGs, then most people don’t see any need to bother with all the other stuff. Because its either too overwhelming for them, they are afraid of making a mistake they can’t take back or simply don’t feel they want to commit that much time and effort to it.

Just saying they are stupid and should have been paying attention is nonsense. Games design must be constructed with a view to how people *actually* play games, not what you think they *should* be doing. The fact is that gamers don’t pay enough attention and don’t dig below the surface *unless you force them to* and you must do so early on and then consistently after that. Or they will settle into their comfort zone, from which most will never budge. And if they can’t complete the game, they won’t blame themselves – they will blame the game. And IMO they are right, because the onus is on the game to drill this stuff into the player’s heads so they can’t ignore it. Because the customer is always right, and upsetting/alienating your customers is no way to run a business. Dismissing these people is just elitist chuntering and shows an ignorance of how the average gamer plays video games.

To be clear, I do want games with depth and interesting systems. But making them irrelevant until certain infamous difficulty spikes is a silly way to do things. Its something that has consistently needed addressing over the years. Unfortunately as games got more mainstream popularity, most companies now take the alternative approach. Instead of designing their games better to force players to learn (in the way that Fromsoft have done so sucessfully in their Soulsborne games), they simply dumb down and make games easier so even the most casual gamer who is listening to music, fiddling with his phone, chatting to people on Twitch and getting blasted on Newcastle Brown Ale can still succeed by sheer brute force levelling up. And this approach alienates your core fanbase, the hardcore faithful who actually do learn all the systems.

And btw anyone who manages to raise the Gold Chocobo, find Tonberry King and Doomtrain or work out how to be able to attack Ozma etc without any help or guide shouldn’t be wasting their time playing video games. They should be hiring out their services to the government as a professional clairvoyant.

The world was arguably more interesting actually, but it never felt like the game let me experience much of it. Just held up quick flash cards of ‘You’ve arrived here for a short and easy battle, but no time to waste so we’re onto the next area’ etc etc. Awakening had distinct story arcs (fighting Gangrel’s forces, joining the resistance against Walhart then dealing with the Grimleal and their dastardly schemes), but this game just seemed to be a straight line of travelling to the enemy castle, and killing the very obviously evil king, which somehow only your people can see.

It wasn’t bad, but it felt a bit by the numbers. More Fire Emblem Awakening basically, except not really as good or engaging.

Awakening is an excellent game. The story might not be ‘Oh my God, its so incredible!’ but it is good fantasy fare and the explanation for the presence of the fully grown kids is much better. Plus the world map and item management just seem far more user friendly (I really didn’t get anything out of the whole ‘You have this Castle in a pocket dimension thing’ in Fates – it was full of buildings and features that seemed completely pointless).

I can’t play Revelations, as Nintendo’s online security doesn’t recognize my router. Works fine with everything else, but not with Nintendo’s online (so no Ace Attorney 6 for me – And I Must Scream…’

But yeah, Fates… frankly it got to the point where I won most missions simply by rushing Ryoma ahead and letting the enemies kill themselves trying to take him down. He’s absurdly powerful, and never died once in my whole playthrough!

vrykolakas
06-09-2016, 11:59 PM
And that *isnt* overpowered?! lol Seriously though, Ryoma *was* game breakingly powerful for me – he was fast, strong, tough, had great skills, a formiddable crit rate and a sword which could strike 1-2 spaces, so the enemies couldn’t even try and whittle him down with bows or magic. Most of the time he dodged, when he was hit he took single digit damage, and on the (incredibly rare) occasions he got below half HP, Vantage kicked in and he started getting Always Strikes First.

And this was him completely unsupported. I always just charged him forwards, had Azura sing to him to get an extra turn and then charged him right into the thickest concentration of enemies (I also gave him some Boots upgrades to up his MOV). And he always killed like 7-8 people in the enemy phase alone!

As for the other games, I won’t bother. I don’t like the idea of alternative timelines, especially because the 5 or so missions at the start that are common to both campaigns pile on about a thousand revelations and events that beat you over the head with the fact that the Nohr king is evil. I just can’t see why your character would aid Nohr, after learning the truth about their past, seeing their mentor killed under the king’s orders, realizing that they had been effectively used a suicide bomber, and just generally giving crazy orders to invade peaceful kingdoms and execute helpless prisoners. If you could just say ‘Well, I want to be evil for the lulz, it would be silly but I could understand people wanting to do it’, but the game isn’t like that. Your character is a good guy no matter what, so siding with Nohr under those circumstances seems utterly ridiculous.

Revelations is apparently a continuation, but like I said I can’t get that and Birthright was so meh that I don’t have much incentive to seek it out.

Conquest isn’t ‘evil’ per se… when you choose to join them you do see how evil the king is as well as how unhappy your siblings and the overall kingdom of Nohr are. Revelations isn’t a continuation… rather a neutral path where you choose the ‘third option’ and find out who the REAL troublemaker for Hoshido and Nohr are.

I always send Ike, Marth and Lucina out by themselves… the three of them lay waste to everything lol (They often strike twice in one turn and Ike can attack from 2 spaces away). Robin is just deadly no matter where you have him as he has close range attack and ranged attack.

To me, Revelations is more of a ‘true’ kind of story. It’s a choice I honestly would take… Can’t side with Hoshido against my siblings in Nohr and can’t join Nohr against my siblings in Hoshido. Therefore, choose neither and go searching for the truth behind the war… but that’s just me.


vrykolakas
06-10-2016, 01:03 AM
My point is why would you possibly choose Nohr after those opening levels? The king sent you out there as an unknowing suicide bomber, Gunter was killed on his orders as Hans confesses himself, you have remembered that the King ambushed and murdered Hoshido’s former king under a flag of truce and then kidnapped you, and as you have quite plainly seen, the people of Hoshido are peaceful.

And in case anyone thinks this is spoilers, you learn it in the first couple of missions! So why on earth you would choose to just return to Nohr and its crazy, evil, muderous, kidnapping, terrorist king who has personally tried to have you killed twice in the first 5 missions… I’m sorry, but I just can’t get over that hurdle.

The problem with this game’s story is that the Nohr siblings kind of have it coming for not being to see what is obvious to absolutely everybody else. The lengths they go to in order to deny that Garon is evil is prespostrous and sucks all credibility from the story.

Leo (one of your siblings in Nohr) reveals to you that the rest of your siblings are fully aware of what their father is doing… but are unable to do anything against him for fear of the repercussions. It takes Corrin (default PC’s name) standing up to him, to force their hands and join up against him. Thing is… the Nohr King isn’t in full… faculties… if you know what I mean. Conquest deals a bit more into the story around Corrin’s kidnapping and the real enemy of the game. It’s more… political aspect… but the siblings don’t ignore what their father is doing, just too scared to stand against him.

But that still doesn’t explain why you would go back after everything you have just seen and heard. You’d be insane to do so, given that your adopted parent has just tried to have you killed and your real parent committed a noble act to save you. And the information about Nohr in general is revealed far too late in the game. You can’t base a decision at the start of the game on information you only learn later on.

Silas for example explains they have basically no food or resources, which comes as a shock to everyone – player included since he only says this in like Chapter 24, and none of the Nohrian characters in your group have mentioned this either. And every time you mention Garon is evil, your siblings are like ‘How can you suggest such a thing?’ despite the fact that he routinely kills everyone who questions his orders. We’re never given any reason as to why they wouldn’t trust the Hoshidans and/or ask for help (as all resistance movements do, and which Scarlet in fact does). But your siblings are just ‘Well never mind, nothing to be done – may as well do as the crazy old megalomanical murderer slash terrorist wants…’

Its really bad storytelling. Killzone is more nuanced than this, and that’s a dumb first person shooter!

Got through Medal of Honor: Warfighter(PS3, was free for PS Plus users at one point). Pretty good campaign. A shame I missed out on the multiplayer. The beta was pretty fun from what I remember.

I think I’ll finish up Dead Space: Extraction(Wii). Trying to work on my backlog(Medal of Honor: Warfighter being one of them).

Edit: Done. Very nice prequel to the first Dead Space. I still haven’t gotten the chance to play Dead Space 2, so hopefully one of these days, I will. Same with Dead Space 2: Severed, since that takes place after the events of Dead Space: Extraction.

Just finished the "RESIDENT EVIL Ⅶ Beginning Hour Teaser Demo"… And I loved it. Liked the First-person view, the fact that there seems to be once again an emphasis on Detective work (searching for clues, taking time to explore every corner/bit of the area…). Also smiled at how they are technically returning to the series’ roots (the first Resident Evil was originally supposed to be played with a First-person view camera).
I’ve definitely got a stronger horror vibe from this demo than that piece of crap titled resident evil 4. Can’t wait for the full game. Never thought I’d say this, but CAPCOM gave me hope: I had a vague interest in the REmake of RESIDENT EVIL 2… Now I’m looking forward to RESIDENT EVIL Ⅶ.

Since when has detective work and a first person view been something that characterised Resident Evil? That’s like saying Mass Effect will be better when it goes back to being a cooking simulator.

Unless we’re counting the Gun Survivor games of course. Which we shouldn’t be.

Goddammit, are you serious? Rather pitiful how you seem to focus on camera setting as the reason this game is no longer a pure RE (the first Gun Survivor was still a Survival Horror, extremely easy/dumbed down, but you went through the same tasks as the other entries). One could say: since when has shooting everything on sight, kung fu+wrestling enemies characterised RE? Yet, one day RE4 showed up and turned this stuff into a staple of the saga; this to say things could very well change (also drastically) within the same franchise, it happened once with the aforementioned RE4, it can happen again. ’bout damn time, I say, we’ve been playing the same crap for more than ten years.
As for detective work: I’m starting to wonder if we have played the same RE1/RE2/RE3/CODE:VERONICA/Zero. Trivia: the first RE was supposed to be in First-person view and, yes, detective work played a huge role in the earlier "main" entries. You spent a lot of time investigating the area, looking for items/clues/ways to advance+escape. That was the core of the gameplay. Yeah, yeah, you had to combat, too, but the times you were actually forced to do that were limited, fighting was mostly optional. I’m happy the Demo had some detective work in it. I’m fucking tired of the CoD-like "Enter a new area->kill all enemies in it in order to advance" way to do things, which RE shamelessly borrowed for the last ten years or so.

Granted, they may miss the mark with RE7 too, but the demo showed they can still pull off a slow-paced game shrouded in the right kind of atmosphere and, more importantly, where it’s up t you, the player, to use your hopefully still-functioning brain and do some research on your own, without the game holding your hand and telling you where to go..

Grow up eh, LSK? You’re taking way too much notice at simple comments. Chill out.

All I said was that these elements were in no way a return to old school RE as you characterised them. Since when has picking up a key and using it on a door with the same symbol been detective work? The old games had a few simple block pushing puzzles and adventure game style ‘find item and use it in place’ elements. Its hardly following clues is it, as you put it? I’ve never heard anyone refer to it as detective work – because it isn’t! And you don’t think its a bit of stretch to say 1st person is a return because they considered making the first game like that, but didn’t in fact do so? And I see you’re still trying to push that whole ‘combat was a small, optional part of RE’ angle. Your prerogative but still just your opinion, which isn’t a fact no matter how strongly you believe it.

It was a simple comment that these things do not represent a return to RE values. They are blatantly just trying to steal Silent Hills PT’s ideas and popularity, as the industry always does with things that seem sucessful. I don’t blame them, nor am I suprised. But as to whether it’ll make a good RE game… I highly doubt it. I suspect it will in fact shrink the game’s appeal to a niche audience who like this sort of thing, and unless its genuinely incredible will struggle to please such people as they are notoriously hard to win over.

I’d be happy to be wrong about that, but as with all games I’ll believe in its quality when I’ve seen the finished thing with my own 2 eyes.

06-16-2016, 07:54 AM
You should follow your own advice, you realize that, right? You always sound like you’re the one in the "right", fuck off, brat. We’re both spewing what merely are personal opinions. Oh, wait… Weren’t you the one who liked to deal with the reality of things? I’m starting to think it’s pointless to have a discussion with you, you’re not capable of it. At any rate, those things are a step in the right direction, at least. I’ve read plenty of people call what I talked about detective work, I guess I’m not the only one who had that impression. The old games also had solutions, or even simple hints to the solution of a puzzle scattered around in files/documents, the amount of research you could do was mostly limited to small areas, but it doesn’t change that you were required to do that.

Survival Horror has always been a genre for a niche audience, it could be said it had its "golden age" thanks to games like Resident Evil 2 and the earlier Silent Hill(s), but things died out quickly. So, they’re going to copy from P.T. now? Who goddamn cares? That thing got cancelled, last I heard, the finished RE7 might very well turn out to be the closest thing to the old RE some fans are going to get, after more than ten years of shooting-shit. Unbelievable to you, maybe, but some old RE players are happy and/or intrigued with what this latest Teaser Demo has shown. This will be my last message on the matter and to you, too.

Well that’s a shame, isn’t it? I find myself utterly distraught at your biting, hurtful remarks lol. But whilst you’re busy gathering the zombies in the drawing room so Hercule Poirot can point out the murderer, or whatever it was you were going on about, I guess we’ll just see how things turn out with RE7. I hope its good, but I’ll believe it when I see the finished thing.

Anyway, I’ve been trying to play The Witcher 3, but its not going well. Geralt continues to be the same inpenetrably uncharismatic protagonist he always was, sounding bored all the time. It seems okay I guess, but I just can’t make myself care about the world this game takes place in and its cast of ‘too cool for school’ characters. I’ll stick at it a bit longer and see if inspiration strikes. Paid for it after all, might as well try and squeeze my money’s worth out.

:tksays:
I don’t mean to change your point of view, but I think you’re missing the point on what you call detective’s work. Didn’t the players, in the past REs, have to look for items in order to make progress? And how’s that for detective’s work? Isn’t the same thing from a different perspective?
Of course I raised my eyebrows too about the change of direction CAPCOM is planning for RE7, but yet, having a little faith doesn’t kill, does it?


vrykolakas
06-17-2016, 12:34 AM
Hey there Franz.

That’s precisely my point, actually. The games have all had these simple puzzles in them, so how can this be a return to it? Its a question of emphasis. Its how you characterise it, so you give people what they expect and whether the language you’re using is what people would recognize as being appropriate to that game. Say ‘the game has plenty of puzzles’ and most fans who know of old school RE would think nothing of that. But say its a detective game or has detective game elements, that muddies the waters a little because detective game are their own thing, even within certain genres (i.e Monkey Island and Cruise for a Corpse are both adventure games, both have puzzles, but one is considered a detective game and the other just an adventure game). Just as calling say Bioshock (the first one) a first person shooter is wildly misleading. It is first person, there is shooting, but is that really how most people would describe that game? Because its hardly the same thing as Doom or Quake is it? You need to be able to communicate accurately to people if a game is something they will enjoy. And to further explore that example, Bioshock Infinite meanwhile absolutely *did* fit the definition of 1st person shooter, being a much more traditional shooter experience. So it ended up displeasing many fans of the original game who had expected more than just a shooter.

It might not seem important, but any PR man will tell you that it is. People react postively and negatively to words and phrases, so its important to know which ones fans of your games like and are looking for, and which ones will put people off because it seems to have no relevance to the product they were hoping for. (It actually worked in reverse with The Evil Within, where your character was a detective and early previews suggested there would be detective work like in Codemned Criminal Origins for example, but the final game was largely just combat from start to finish, some stealth and basically nothing approaching detective work). So the game set people up to expect one thing and delivered another, which annoyed many. I know its a depressing way to think about games – at the core we all just want it to be good, and never mind all this flim flam. But the series (RE I mean) has gotten itself into real trouble since RE4 defining what it is, against what the fans want it to be and what they think it should be. This is perhaps the critical moment for this series’ survival. So how they present the game and what they focus on going forward could be make or break for the series. Basically, whatever they do, they’d better make sure they do it right! Castlevania stands (or doesn’t more accurately at least at the moment) as an example of the consequences of even long running series into perhaps terminal danger by losing track of what kind of game it is and communicating that to people.

Also, the original games had more of these adventure game style puzzles, but whether or not they are intrinsic to a game’s ‘Resident Evilness’ is highly debatable. Some people say its the horror, some the action, some the shlock factor etc. I never said I was fundamentally against any of these changes that RE7 is making, but he appears not to have noticed. I simply pointed out that these things wouldn’t constitute a return to old values. Because to me it seems like they are just trying to latch onto P T’s popularity and in a very obvious way. (I don’t mind them doing it as the industry does this all the time, but I do worry that imitation of such things rarely produces something better or even as good. I just can’t see how such blatant copying could be for anything but short term gains and that can backfire badly). If it does make a good RE game, then great – like I said, I’d be delighted if that were the case. But my suspicion is that P T was one of those ‘lightning in a bottle’ moments, that worked because of its short length, free to play status, and of course the fact that it genuinely was great. Time will tell, I guess. I have hope, but the industry has long crushed faith out of me. I believe in results now, not promises. But that’s just me.

The TL DR is that I hope its good, but I doubt their motivations in making it like this.

As CAPCOM seems to have lost the manual "How to make a RE to be RE again", it’s only natural they borrow inspiration from P.T., although RE used to be good enough by itself and also a reference. Nothing wrong with believing in results but, for better or worse, things change and you don’t need to keep up with everything just because "everybody says is great, the next best thing, blah blah blah". Most of the time most people just see want they wanna see (that’s how hype starts) imo


vrykolakas
06-17-2016, 01:11 AM
True, but there’s nothing wrong with having faith IMO, if you don’t let it blind you. I don’t have it at the moment, because I think the last few years have been very poor and a sucession of disappointments in series I cherish have left me scarred. But I hope that the industry can turn that round. Too many sequels, too many remakes and remasters and too few new ideas for my liking as well. But Good games cure all ills. It only takes 1 truly great game to get people energized again. Any faith I have left is geared in this direction – that an unexpected game that speaks directly to me like Deadly Premonition or Killer 7 etc could be lurking just round the corner.

And yeah, them riffing on P T is entirely understandable and natural, but I really wish they hadn’t done it. I wish they’d taken that enthusiasm for the genre and used it to come up with some new ideas of their own. But without seeing the finished RE7, we’re not going to know either way if they’ve just gone through the motions and copied, or whether they really have something of their own to say.

To you too, its been too long ๐Ÿ˜€

Deadly Premonition… well, I guess its not for everyone sure (the combat sequences are awful, but the developer did point out that he was pretty much forced to include those, and the graphics… well, it was made on a budget and is highly ambitious – you can’t have everything! :D).

So its basically a Twin peaks simulator, but it really does nail it. The emotional intensity and balance of open world freedom and focus to solve the case is outstanding. The game has some of the most eerie yet tragically beautiful and heartbreaking moments I’ve seen in gaming. Good detective elements, hilariously funny, an interesting and organic open world, great characters (not just the main characters, but all the NPCs) and just a perfect example of how gaming still has the power to be more than simple shooters or fighters. Nothing wrong with those genres, but this was just so unexpected and a true delight for me.

It was my No. 3 game of the last gen to put it into context. I *really* loved that game. And like Killer 7 and other unusual gems, I spent most of my time thinking ‘I cannot believe this game was made, and that they allowed the team to make it like this’. Because it flouts so much of what you would expect to find in gaming and does it own thing at its own pace. The combat sections are the only concession to popular gaming it seems to make.

It was pretty good, but it did occasionally feel like it had been written by a bunch of people who were scientists (or science enthusiasts) first and writers second. Don’t get me wrong, it done pretty well but I prefer a plot that isn’t as heavily reliant on the kind of special gimmick powers that the characters have. It felt like it kind of took over the story, shunting the Escape Room aspect and many of the character’s development to one side IMO.

Still, it was enjoyable enough. I preferred Danganronpa and Stein’s Gate though, which are both games with similar themes.

Very happy to get that out of my backlog, because it was a frustrating grind around Chapter 12 and up. I hope Ninja Gaiden 2 will be better(by better, I mean less frustrating. Probably wrong, though. :/ ).

@Tanis : nope… that was just superfluous nonsense.

@ManRay : SRTT was ok… better than IV for me… but as someone who has played all 4 games…

SR2 > SR1 > SRTT >SRIV

SR 1 was a decent enough game. Had it’s faults, but it introduced us to the world of the Saints as well as some of it’s key figures (namely Johnny Gat and the ‘Boss’). I’m not a fan of recommending online game reviews… but the following two I do agree with:

Saints Row 2 : SAINTS ROW 2 (Zero Punctuation) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWXuzZ26yp0)

Saints Row The Third : Saints Row: The Third Angry Review (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHB0CQ3uPj4)

So yeah… I am a Saints Row fan… but just like what happened with the Breath of Fire series (The 5th killed it completely for me), Saints Row IV Re-Elected/Gat out of Hell has pretty much killed the series for me. IF… there is a Saints Row V, I hope they go back to the series roots and not completely ott.

Not really a game but I was idling on the Bioware forums and noticed they plan to shut all of them down very soon. The place was a minefield, but it still feels like a really depressing decision. It feels like its planting an extra nail in the coffin, that feeling that Bioware are just over.

The Technomancer is interesting, but inundated with ‘fetch’ quests and the character designs for the NPC’s, while some are well done, others are… lacking…

Played that new Batman game from Telltale. Its pretty good in the way their games usually are, has bad QTE sequences that go on too long as they always do, and is episodic forcing me to wait probably not less than 5 months to see how it ends. Which frankly is getting *very* old. Just finish the damn game and *then* release it!

But yeah, I’m in. It was interesting, had lots of variety, and it made me care enough that I wanted to see more. Can’t really ask for more in a first episode.

Finished Lethal Skies 2(it was ok, it wasn’t any better than the first one), Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance(rather fun beat-em up but frustrating at times), Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3.

DW G 3’s a nice entry, but it’s not as good as the first one imo(it’s better than DW G 2, though. There was no story whatsoever). I didn’t like how grindy it got when it came to getting the "For Reform" chapter, and I didn’t like how some of the story missions felt like filler. I’ve only played a few minutes of DW G: Reborn and I can already tell it’s better than DW G 3(Plus, space battles are back! ๐Ÿ˜€ I thought it was odd that they took them out entirely).

I’m in the mood for some Ace Combat, starting with 4(I haven’t touched the REAL AC 3, because the Disc 2 translations aren’t finished yet). This is probably like the 4th or 5th time I’m replaying 4 to Assault Horizon. I’ll be checking out Skies of Deception as well since I’ll be playing them in order of release.

Just finished Alien Isolation. Resisted buying it for ages due to stealth not being my kind of thing. But times are lean and I do love the Alien films, so I gave it a go.

And it was alright, a ruggedly playable and acceptable game even for a stealthphobe like me. Played it on Hard because that’s what the menu recommended as the optimum experience and man they aren’t kidding – it really *was* hard at times. But when I stopped deluding myself that I’m any good at stealth and started being more aggressive, I got into a nice groove and combatted my way to victory! lol (You can’t hurt the alien, but you can scare it off with fire, so I poured all my resources into crafting molotovs and chased the thing over the station, rather than let it do the reverse!)

Its far too long, and the story was a waste of time (not to mention a few promising characters). But overall, it was a fairly rewarding experience. A cautious thumbs up. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have molotov cocktails to make…

Finished Gone Home.

It was okay, but I do wonder how much of the appeal would have been lost on me without the Twin Peaks style music, the haunted house and retro feel (Cassette tapes and VHS tapes etc). It had a rather steep price for how short it was, and the writing sometimes strayed dangerously close to melodramatic cliche (and the plot in general is extremely cliched).

But that said, it was engaging enough that I cared to find out what happened. For all the many criticisms I could level against it, I still thought it provided a reasonably upbeat and defiant message about the need to be who you are and do what makes you happy. So overall, I’m glad I played it at last. I just wish they’d been a bit more lenient on the price, because you can complete this game comfortably inside a hour or so (and its actually possible to finish it in under a minute, but that’s speedrunning obviously).

Purchased again METAL GEAR SOLID Ⅴ: THE PHANTOM PAIN for PlayStation 4 a few weeks ago and dedicated myself to it (I originally played it on the PS3); managed to earn S Rank(s) in all 50 Missions on the “current gen.” version, strangely, I couldn’t do it on the PS3.

The [EXTREME] version of “Metallic Archaea” was an unexpected and real nightmare, this time around: back when I had first earned S Rank on it (PS3), I climbed on the roof of the hangar which is close to Snake’s starting point, the Skulls just attempted to shoot and throw rocks at me back then. I unlock that mission on the PS4, ready to use the same strategy, imagine the look on my face when I see a Skull teleporting up there and standing between me and my trusty guardian angel, Quiet (needless to say, I ended being “one-slash killed” by the Machete, ‘cause I seriously remained slack-jawed, I blame game’s updates!).
Luckily, the roof of what I’ll call main/central building of that airport is still rather safe, went there on my second try and the Skulls left me alone, just a single one followed me, but he was killed by Quiet rather fast… Waited a few more minutes for her to finish the other three off… PERFECT HEALTH, NO KILLS Bonus, sigh.
Something to counter balance that crappy luck: I earned S Rank on [EXTREME] “Code Talker” on my first try, on the PS3 one of those weirdly sexy, borg-like female snipers is always waiting for me when I finish climbing near the waterfall, 100% safe route my ass.

I also got Kyubi’s mystic weapon after learning how to get it which will definitely help me make progress in Gauntlet Mode.

Weird…I’m getting a bigger memory card, now that the system has been hacked.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still buying some games for it…but now I can FINALLY play some Japanese games I’ve wanted to play for years.

Yeah. I played all I wanted to play. I wanted to take advantage of the extra cash deal Gamestop had going on, so I got more than I would normally get.

The Elder Scrolls Online.
Pay once and play as long as you keep your Xbox Live Gold subscription active.

Although, they do offer premium content like extra storage for crafting. But that costs $17.99 (CDN) a month for ESO PLUS subscription.
Other bonuses like minor boosts to your character and 10% extra XP per kill.

It’s still quite enjoyable without the PLUS membership.

The Premium Store to buy mounts and vanity items costs real money.
Real money turns into "Crowns" which is the game currency to buy from the "Crown Store" for Mounts and vanity items.
Some of it looks worthwhile.
There’s a Cave Bear mount I want. And demonic horse.
The pets are pure vanity as they don’t do anything for you. But there’s a monster I want that looks like it’s right out of Pacific Rim.

Completely revamped and a different beast than the original.
They used the same engine as the last generation of PS2 Tomb Raider games or something. Legend or something.

Looking for a copy of The Tomb Raider Trilogy (Tomb Raider Legend, Tomb Raider Anniversary and Tomb Raider Underworld). Probably be something like how I was with FFIX and GTAV… hated both of them when they first came out, yet went back to them some time later and enjoyed them (Obviously GTAV I like way more than FFIX… guess I must have latent sociopathic homicidal urges…>.<), so I’m hoping I get the same feel when I play these TR games.

On Topic : Had a few friends begging me to join them for a few raids in FFXIV… Might play some Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition after.

7 Days to Die on Xbox One.

We’ve made it to about day 63 so far. Still alive and kicking.
I died quite a few times already. Damn spikes are super effective. :laugh:
We’ve upgraded nearly the entire house to concrete and upgraded the doors to vaults and then those twice to their maximum levels.
My repairs and block damage is maxed out so I do most of the repairs and tree chopping and mining.
I really want to get my archery up as I use that the most. So much cheaper and faster to find feathers for arrows than it is hunting down every last bit of nitrate.
I also need to work on my armor smithing as my character overheats the most from swinging the steel tools all the time.
Miscellaneous crafting is also maxed out so I make all the traps and fences and barbwire.
My crafting speed is maxed so I really do all the misc. stuff around.

I’ve grown akin to the Sledgehammer as a blunt weapon.
It’s so beautiful and satisfying when you get a headshot or hit one of the limbs just right.

We’re almost at the point were we’re maxed out our skills and ready to up the zombie spawn to double.

My dear friend recently gifted me METAL GEAR SOLID Ⅴ: GROUND ZEROES – The mission which gives the game part of its title is, in my opinion, better than 97% of THE PHANTOM PAIN… I miss the ability to "knock on stuff", though, distracting enemies with that noise is an integral part of my approach to stealth in both past METAL GEAR SOLID entries and "TPP", finding it a bit hard to adapt to its absence. At least I get to wear again the awesome-looking Sneaking Suit from PEACE WALKER (nothing against the standard TPP S. Suit, but that’s just a slightly bulkier version of the one from MGS1), among other things.

Also downloaded Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture (one of the free games of this month for PS Plus subscribers): a strange game, don’t have much to say about it, apart that I’m liking its "BGM" a lot.

Haven’t touched the MP yet… wanted to get the SP done first. Just finished the SP and yeah, I agree with your assessment. Definitely one of the better SP campaigns around with some damn good characters (Gator, Salt, E3N (he was my favorite)) and the story was pretty damn good I thought. Glad I got this tbh. Then the credits hit you in the feels when the posthumous recorded messages of some of the deceased play.

Stardew Valley definitely has its charms, but once you get a system going for money and get married before Year 2 ends, replay value slows down.
The game doesn’t have an end or a final year. So you can play forever.

4th mission for Anno 1404.

You must command the save separately before exiting. :rolleyes:

Spent long on the third mission and figured out how things work.
The starting money really helps out a lot.

This mission, I started off a lot better and slowly growing a net income.

I wish this had a function like in Stronghold where you can raise taxes and allow more food to keep them sated.

Being so early in the game, I see that the Citizen class prefers to have spices.

So far Ezlo is on par with Midna as a favorite companion of mine. Snarky, sassy, but smart nonetheless. Far better than Navi or *shudder* Fi.
Having played all the 3D Zeldas, it’s fun to see so many of the sprites being modeled after characters from Wind Waker and Majora’s Mask. A nice easter egg for veteran players.

So Mad Max on Steam has some mods out there.
Increase reoslution to 4K and stuff. But no real info if it makes it look any better.

One about "no hud" if that’s your thing.
And one to increase contrast and saturation to extreme limits with a modder’s note to decrease gamma. The effect is supposed to make it look like Fury Road.

Not much support outside of that.

It would be nice if there was a mod that lets you stock melee weapons in your vehicle.
Or if that happens later on. It’s still early in the game.

But looking for mod showcasing on youtube, those are the only ones.
A lot of mods for GTAV that let you have a Mad Max tanker to bomb around in.

๐Ÿ™ I really want to drive a truck and sound the horn just like in the movie.

They ought to make a Burnout game in the same nature as Mad Max for the extremists.

Most of the bugs are fixed for Aliens: Colonial Marines.

I’ve not spotted a single dancing alien yet. :/
I was actually hoping for it. :laugh:

I’m about half way through the game.

And I actually got scared at a couple points.

They really know how to set up the atmosphere for the game.
Walking around the movie set for Aliens with the music creeping up on you and the aliens being as dark as the room, it really adds up.

It’s quite easy to die in the game.
And it’s not that easy to pull of a finishing move when one of them get up close to you for melee attacks.
There’s one move that happens if you time it right: You grab their head, pull out your pistol and shove it in their mouth.

I’m not sure if that finishing move is performed on timing or if it’s random.
I haven’t found the right condition for it, and I’d rather not experiment with it. :laugh: Each time you die, a little piece of you dies inside.

So far, not picking up a whole lot that ties the movies together.
A lot of references to the second movie.
And I guess you really get to learn about Weyland-Yutani partnership that leads to part 3.

The graphics are nice. The dark lighting helps a lot.

And I’ve been playing with ChromaDepth 3D (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChromaDepth) glasses so that has really created a new aspect to the horror atmosphere.

Technically, Chromadepth isn’t designed for straight passive conversion like 3D TV’s do.
They’re mainly for neon and black light events/images. They’re much more effective that way.
80’s music videos, etc.

But, using a thicker lense, they can be suitable for movies for a very different experience.

There is also the issue of seeing rainbowing off to the sides.
You have to play with the light levels in the room to minimize that.
And eventually get used to them to the point you don’t even notice them anymore.

To me, it wasn’t bad, it just could’ve been so much more. As for the music, I actually liked it(I’m not sure if you’re referring to the OST or the licensed music. Some of the licensed music was good, too).

Finishing up Need for Speed: Carbon(360)since I never finished it.

Edit: Finished NFS: Carbon last week and just today finished Ninja Gaiden 2…on Acolyte since the boss on chapter 3 pissed me off on Warrior. Sadly, the rest of the game wasn’t any better, especially on Acolyte. Just a pure torture fest. That, and the camera is somehow worse in this compared to the first one. At least I got it out of my backlog, but man, it wasn’t fun to play.

I kind of went off the Tales games, precisely because they are solid. They all offer generally decent RPG exploration and combat, quirky characters, great skits and banter etc. But they all kind of blend together for me and feel like basically the same game. Vesperia was the only truly great one IMO, and even that just did the same old things – it just did them all particularly well.

Still, its not like they’re bad games or anything. I think solid is an appropriate description of them. My translation of that would be ‘Acceptable, if you’re really hurting for a new game, there’s nothing else out and if you feel in the mood for it’.

Not sure whether I should tackle Madhouse difficulty right away in RE7, or break/"collect" Mr. Everywhere dolls, first. Aside from that, it has been a pretty good RE for me, nice survival horror, it lost a bit of appeal in the last two "segments".
I didn’t find its soundtrack memorable, sadly, though I sure dig the vocal track; I’ll have to get myself the album with just the arrangements of "Go Tell Aunt Rhody", too.

equip both rings of arcana (or whatever their real names are) to more easily farm the crissaegrim.

and no, it doesnt need a code, and the online pass code of ds2 wasnt needed, since passes are now free.

the problem is im the only one i know that still owns a ps3, so i dont know where to take the game to see if its my lens or the disc itself.

Came back from repair with memory doubled and sometimes I notice little freezing here and there, nothing major. Not an expert talking but maybe it’s the copy the problem. In 6 years of PS3 the only trouble I had with it was unsync sound / sfx plus ridiculously long loading times during the "burning" period until it stopped working.

Finished Nioh. For all the hysteria about it being ‘harder than Dark Souls’, it was nothing of the sort (not that Dark Souls is anywhere near as hard as people make out either, mind you). Anuway, it was a decent game I guess but it was far too easy and WAY too long for an action game, which is essentially what it is.

I’m not some No Damage, No deaths, Lvl 1 only nutcase, but I’m pretty good at these games though I say it myself. Still, I barely died at all in the actual stages (like actually at all, I beat most stages without dying to anything but the boss, which is certainly not what I was expecting). The bosses are all over the place. Some are unreasonably hard, but most are complete pushovers. IMO there are only 4 hard bosses: Hino Enma, Nue, Yuki Onna and Okatsu. The rest I just rolled right over.

Unless we count Sub missions. Tachibana Muneshige’s duel and the later duel against him and Honda… Now those *were* hard.

Hail Traveler! ๐Ÿ˜€

Well it has similarites obviously, but its closer to say Onimusha and Ninja Gaiden than Dark Souls. Nothing wrong with that of course, and Nioh is a good game with great combat. But it doesn’t have that… mystique that Souls has. The bizarre eccentric characters, the understated but fascinating lore and the melancholy fading world that you can burst back into life at the end etc.

Nioh is much more straightforward in its plot and actually has a half decent one at that, yet the actual storytelling is dreadful and extremely hard to follow. Big Irish dude who is so intensly a man of few words that he makes Gordon Freeman seem like a chatterbox, lots of demons, and a whole job lot of very similar looking caves and mountain villages etc. It does have one really cool level in a kind of ‘House of Ninjas’ place, with assassins jumping out from trapdoors in the floors and ceilings, revolving doors and other hi-jinks.

Its a decent game to be sure. Its just too long for the type of game it is, and the stats feel kind of irrelevant. If they’d stripped the stats and grinding out, and edited the game down to a 8-12 hour campaign, let you use all the weapons equally etc, it would have been much improved IMO.

Finished Extermination a few days ago, and Scooby-Doo: Night of 100 Frights(PS2) today. Not proud to admit it, but on Extermination, I had to use CodeBreaker cheats(unlimted heatlh and infection) because of how awful the 3rd part of the final boss fight was.

For Yu Gi Oh: DOTR, after going through the tutorial(I always skipped it as a kid), I’m actually really liking it! The things that keep me from coming back to it is how it’s all luck based and how near impossible it seems to beat the ai. I’ll definitely give it another chance some time.

Played Project Eden(PS2), Burnout 3: Takedown(PS2), and Stuntman(PS2), but dropped them. Project Eden doesn’t seem bad, but I find it tedious to play at times. Than again, it came out on PC first, so maybe it’s better on PC. Or maybe it’s just not for me, not sure.

For Burnout 3, the Grand Prix event involving Formula 1 cars seems too hard for me.

For Stuntman, I can always get to it later as it’s not that important to finish, imo. Generally, I’m trying to focus on games I NEED to get out of my backlog.

Tested a bit my Security Team on MGSⅤ:TPP, verdict: they (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTGx_Av08Fg) suck (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYTd-883vuo). I should start using "FOB Events" to collect more S++-ranked soldiers, but then I’d still need to have each of them earn medals… As much as I love the gameplay of this METAL GEAR SOLID, I’m not wasting hundreds and hundreds of hours on it just for that.
Will keep my base at a low level and hopefully it won’t attract too many pro players.

EDIT:
And those training-runs led to this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JaGwKPstoI), feel rather satisfied with my performance on that one.

Ys 8

IT’S OUT! IT’S FUN. IT’S THE NEXT GENERATION FOR Ys!

The music is really amazing, I can’t wait for the full OST to drop.

The game play is solid and requires a bit of thinking.

The mini bosses are fun, with enjoy variety to justify their pop.

New comers should enjoy the new graphical style, you don’t actually NEED to have played any of the previous games to ‘get it’.

Old comers should enjoy the evolution of the series, it’s still the game series you love…just a bit more modern.

The ‘building a settlement’ aspect is pretty cool and kind of reminds me of Dark Cloud 2, plus the character heavy drama is nice.

My only, major, issue is the DLC.
While not NEEDED to play the game, it does suck that there’s several ‘add-ons’ that basically function as ‘if you’re lazy and you know, pay us to wrek dis gaem.’

Never really been a fan of DLC that doesn’t add anything, it’s like the ‘pay to have all collectables found’ crap from Assassin’s Creed. Seems like a shitty way to cheat.

Was playing through Parasite Eve. I’m giving up on it because of the final boss. A shame too, cause I was really liking the game, considering I never played it when it came out. I’ve foolishly overwritten my save file not realizing I was going to be whisked away to the fight with Ultimate Being, so now I can’t go back to grind or prepare. So, I think I’m done. I don’t feel like starting all the way over. Just gonna watch the rest of it on YouTube and play Parasite Eve 2 at some point.

Edit: Alright, after calming down, in my mind I said "Fuck it, I’m trying it again" and I gave it another shot(probably my 3rd or 4th attempt), somehow did better compared to my previous attempts, and finished off the Ultimate Being. What a relief lol. I also know about the true ending already, so I really don’t feel like playing through it again to get it.

Currently on Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge(360) on Normal after finishing Okami HD(PS3) recently(good game, love the art style, nice story, and pretty humorous. My only gripes: it got a bit repetitive around the 2nd half and 3rd half, and it’s a bit dialogue heavy at times).

I’m really enjoying NG 3: Razor’s Edge, so far. Feels rather balanced compared to the first 2 NG games(Liked the first one to an extent, hated the 2nd one). That and the enemies aren’t so grab happy like in the first 2.

Haven’t posted here in a while, been cleaning up my backlog and it has been reduced by a good amount(been mostly cleaning up my Steam library and I got it down to a healthy 184 installed).

Last month, I played through The Talos Principle(PC, Steam)and enjoyed it very much. The philosophy went over my head, but it was interesting nonetheless. The puzzles were also challenging yet fair(only a few I had to look up). Also played Road to Gehenna. I had to use a walkthrough entierely because….well, my brain was tired, let’s put it that way lol. :p

I was playing through Parasite Eve 2, and I(somehow)defeated the final boss. In the first half, I found out that Inferno really helped and the second half was somewhat frustrating(surprisingly), but it didn’t give me any grief, thankfully.

I’m probably in the minority, but I thought it was alright. I didn’t find it as good as the first Parasite Eve, however. The gameplay felt like Resident Evil except not as good, the music is good, but it’s not as memorable as the first one’s soundtrack, the story didn’t seem as…interesting as the first one’s, and the puzzles were kinda lame on Disc 2. There’s just something about the first Parasite Eve I like more.

I thought I was going to like it as much as the first one, but I guess it’s my fault for setting a few expectations.

So, I recently tried this thing called ‘gaming’. Turns it, it’s not so bad. Just sucks how long you have to wait to reach the credits screen and find out who’s responsible for this craziness. The other day, I had to wait through almost three freaking hours of a video-based game just to reach the part I’d paid to see – y’know, the screen with all the rolling names and job titles.

I mean, inconvenience of this magnitude should be outright outlawed.

So, you’re probably wondering which game in video format I was forced to sit through to learn more about its creators. I would tell you, but then I’m just giving their product the attention they’re looking for, when it’d be far easier for you to simply play it yourself and find these peoples’ names at the end yourself. Three hours. That’s a third of a work shift, for Christsakes. Now, granted, I didn’t just sit at the tele the whole time playing – no, that’d be too easy. Probably what the creators wanted me to do. No, I broke it up into pieces, kind of like how I unclogged my john the same day. At any rate, this game on my tele screen gave me a real hard time as I tried to charge through it, all in hopes of finding my way to that credits screen. I had blokes chasing after me with torches, pieces of wood, some covered in mud and mardi gras masks, and some he-she was licking my POV character.

All in all, a most disturbing detour to my favourite part of all, the credits screen. When, at long last, I was able to bask in the glory of the upward-rolling white literature, I reflected on the tiresome journey required to get there. In some small way, I was relieved. In others, I was merely disturbed. But most importantly, I was free. Free to read, free to digest the names of the developers. I’d say the trials and tribulations needed to tear through the finish line were worth suffering through.

Currently playing Pillars of Eternity and honestly I don’t understand people praising that game. It’s rather lackluster: the story is very far from compelling, the characters dull and clich???, the game-mechanics complex for the sake of complexity. In short: the game is a rather shallow attempt to walk in the foodsteps of the Baldur’s Gate series. The only redeeming feature are the beautifully looking landscapes.

So, I thought I’d try my hand at a different video-based game, hoping for an easier time navigating my way to the credits screen. Is that so much to ask?

This time, the video-oriented entertainment entity is something called, "Super Mario." I mean, what’s so super about this guy? He’s short, chubby, dies when a turtle cockblocks his path, and can’t even swim. That, and his cheap bint in the streetwalker dress always manages to land herself in another of King Ganondorf’s sex dungeons. I mean, she’s not even subtle with the whole high maintenance thing.

I don’t know, I’m just trying to make sense of this experience until I can finally hit the fabled credits screen and enjoy myself.

The worst part about Mario is his brother, Luigi. I mean, he’s so popular, but if I wanted him to take the heat for a while, I’d need to venture outside of my mum’s basement to meet another person who could serve as player 2. And who the hell wants to do that, right? So, I’m stuck going solo. Who knows – maybe, someday, I’ll find a game that doesn’t force me to endure hours of stressful button-pushing in order to arrive at the staff roll. Until then…I guess I could do worse.

Beat Megaman X on MMXLC for PC today. I set the version to the Japanese version because I kind of have read the script before, lol.

Managed to do it without dying much. That second Repli-Submarine thing in Launch Octopus’ stage is a pain in the arse every time. Got a little mad. ๐Ÿ™‚ The platforms leading into Sigma’s fort got me too.

All in all, though, a pretty good run considering I’m exhausted and worried about life. There’s something very interesting and intense about this particular installment of the Megaman series. And it doesn’t try to distract me with tits, something that is kind of rare in games of the era. By MMX4 the Zaibatsu had taken control, and decided there needed to be tits…in a game about artificial humans that don’t reproduce by sexual intercourse or feed their children with breast feeding… -_- Ugh

Look, I am a heterosexual, and I do like tits, but not every single second of every single day…too much of anything…

Trying all sorts of games right now.

I decided to check out the current status of emulation, mainly because I want to see how compatible it is with NVidia’s DSR. It’s not.
They use shaders and different hooks to upscale.
And even some if some of the emulators have options to go fullscreen exclusive with a 4K resolution (per NVidia’s DSR settings), that doesn’t guarantee you get upscaled and filtered NVidia experience that’s supposed to happen with DSR.
Probably because emulators work differently than games do that are either intended for Windows or ported to Windows (from console, per se).

So I been tyring out lots of things.

Still lots of different emulators try.
And then figure out how to get DSR to work with it to get the nicely filtered upscale working so MSI Afterburner can do screens in 4K from their native resolution.
Which, for most emulators, is extremely small!
Even PS1 seems to have the same native resolution as SNES and all other older consoles.

But for something to take a break from all that?
Something on Steam.
Project Zomboid is my latest favorite.

Been cleaning up my backlog for months and it’s been reduced drastically to only a select few that need to be finished. Feels pretty good! ๐Ÿ™‚

Anyway, I went back Killzone(PS2) 3 hours ago so that I can understand what’s going on in the sequels(I quit it out of frustration months ago). Had to switch to Easy because the game was frustrating on Normal. Sadly, I didn’t like it, it was just so mediocre to me. Also tried the Killzone 2 demo afterwards to see how it compares and(unsurprisingly)it’s much better than the first one.

I’ll definitely order it from Amazon at some point since I only have Killzone 3. Maybe I’ll also get Shadow Fall depending on how much I like the sequels.

Went back to The Suffering(Xbox). I’ll continue it tomorrow

Edit: Finished it a few minutes ago, looking forward to giving the sequel a try in the future. Right now, I’m going back to Zone of the Enders 2(PS2)and I’m restarting it on Easy because I found it too hard at some point. After that, it’ll be whatever comes to mind.

I have a shortcut for you, if you still haven’t beaten the Defiled dungeon. Here’s what you need to do:

– Create (you just need to create it, not play through) the Root Pthumeru Chalice Dungeon on one of those empty tombstones. This chalice should be among the first ones you get for clearing Chalice Dungeons;
– Once you’ve done that, go to another empty tombstone and search for this glyph code: 3aqbyx95;
– You’ll get access to a dungeon which is a 1:1 copy of the "story-related" (yeah, it’s optional, but I trust you’ll get my point) one that has the Queen Boss fight… And you’ll earn the trophy after beating her, she will be on Layer 3.

That glyph code I bolded essentially allows you to skip most Chalice Dungeons… Heck, I still have nightmares about that Defiled Amygdala.

EDIT:

To maybe prepare you a bit, here are the two bosses you’ll have to beat before taking on the Queen – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1vM2M_65to / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOpWwvAeqno

You only need the "rite materials" once, the ones needed to create the Root Chalice, to be more precise. As soon as you’ve done that??? You just need the glyph code.

If you want to access every kind of user-generated Chalice Dungeon (including ones which drop certain kinds of Bloodgems+Top Tier Runes), you need to create the Root Isz Chalice Dungeon with all the offerings (Cursed, Rotten and a third one I can’t remember at the moment??? Fetid, I think?)

So, the thing is-is, I went ahead and decided to try a video-based game today. I have to say, it was not what I’d anticipated – not in the least.

To get the ball rolling, no pun intended (see what I did there? Ball? Rolling? Wasn’t my pun hilarious? I wasn’t even trying to exude such hilarity; guess I’m just that far superior to you in higher mental capacity), I salvaged the back cupboards of my granddad’s higher storage space (what you millennials may refer to as an ‘attic’) and discovered, to my utter shock, several plastic cartridges – the same sort of thing you people (not used racistly) would play on your Playable Station ver. 3.0! Or 4.0, as I’ve heard the latest iteration is called. At any rate, I decided to try to utilize this video-based game hardware, and see what all the fuss was over.

To my shock and outright jubilation, I tapped into the secrets of this elusive technology using a rectangular machine manufactured by Nintendo, a toy company from at least 10 years ago. They’d managed to perfect the art of causing imagery to appear on my Emerson television set – in colour! That was the most profound aspect. Soon enough, I discovered that the imagery on my Emerson television set actually changed depending on which video-based game thingamajigger I slotted into the opening! So, thinking whimsically, I nabbed a rectangular game juggamawollit with the words, "Super Mario Bros." into my Nintendo-based machine. Would this thing redefine ionic bonding? Molecularise my house? Reinvent penicillin? The answer was quite unclear, as characters defined in a series of squares, appeared across my screen.

Violence ensued.

I seized control of the bloke in what I presumed was a red hat and blue trousers, manipulated him into moving along the screen toward the far right (sort of sounds like I became a republican propaganda machine, amirite?) until he met his horrifying doom as a brown character touched him. He barely even lashed a fist, and my red-hatted white male was dead. This, to me, has to be symbolic of something deeper in our own society. That brown people are bad? That red-hatted white men are good? I think the answer is clear; YES.

I walked away from this highly eye-opening video-based gaming experience a better man for it, a more careful citizen, and a far more woke member of this planet’s societal range. I hope you will, too.

Currently I am gaming Resident Evil 2.

We’re not talking 1998 era. No-sir-ee. We’re talking zombies-in-your-face 2019 pulse-pounding gunplay.

Having played this game for 17 consecutive days non-stop, I have to say that in spite of my work’s incessant inquiries as to why I’m taking an extended vaycay, I will likely complete my excursion into Raccoon City’s monster-infested annals just as soon as I figure out how to get past the gas station. More to follow!

Having finally figured out how to pass the petrol station in Resident Evil 2 (having to lure that zombie away using the Cheeto you find clutched in the dead man’s fingers was proper brilliant! He dove right for it. To think, all zombies really want is to see if you’ve any snacks on you) I am now on the streets of Gerbil City (or was it Ferret City?) trying to find my long lost partner – you know the one.

Probably going to be stuck here a while; the hordes of zombies trailing Cheeto dust to cars and subsequently piling against them trying to locate the coveted finger food within has me feeling rather packed in, as I navigate the messy streets, trying to work my way into the confines of Mr. X’s penthouse apartment. As soon as I can get past the next screen of the game, I’ll post an update!

Update: I finally reached the gates of a building labeled "R.P.D.". Am I supposed to go in there? Still not sure. It looks scary! The real party is out here on the streets, where apparently rioters have set fire to the trollies, dogs are biting mad, and…..oh, and there’s more zombies. One of these days, I swear I’ll get this game figured out.

A hunter is never alone. Do you play it online, or offline? Tried to look for help? That boss can be a handful, but like many other bosses in that masterpiece, it only takes some tries to stick it to him.

EDIT:
Took care of two trophies/achievements in RESIDENT EVIL 2 REMAKE in a single run – "Complete the game without using Healing Items+opening the Item Box," now it’s time for a cleaning run of Leon’s A Scenario on Easy/Assisted for the "Mr. Raccoon" left, then I can move on.

Too many QTEs, not enough Ashley screaming for Leon’s help. I will say I dig the part where they cover Turok’s shift to help take down that giant dinosaur, however, while Turok is on vacation in Hawaii. Definitely not as bad a game as its reputation would suggest. RE6 takes all the hatred, vitriol and flack that RE5 so fervently warrants. How can you beat diverolling into a swarm of the undead, guns-a-blazing?

My training with the REMAKE of RE2 is coming along nicely.
Also wanted to say that CAPCOM started to sell a DLC which unlocks stuff like the Rocket Launcher with infinite ammunition (previously, you had to earn a "S+" rank on Hardcore difficulty to get that), among other things, like 4th Survivor mode (the DLC should be available on every PS Store, Xbox Marketplace and Steam). Mwahahahah! The fact they haven’t stopped doing what started with Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition (and later continued with Devil May Cry 5) is amusing.
Well, earning all trophies/achievements still requires players to actually learn how to play the game a fair bit (especially the ones requiring "you" to not use healing items, nor open the Item Box… Also, while we’re on the subject, not being able to access the Item Box means not being able to use special weapons with infinite ammo).

While I’m sure some won’t be happy about this… "Shortcut" now being available, I’m not bothered by it: if you want to do things on your own, hey! You still can! No one is forcing you to buy the "Unlock DLC". Besides, back in the old days we kinda bought cheat codes, anyway… We’d find them on gaming magazines and/or strategy guides (sometimes bundled with the former).

Finally managed to get inside the building in Resident Evil 2 labeled, ‘RPD’. I wasn’t sure what the game was trying to prompt me to do there. I mean, entering someone else’s property is burglary, isn’t it? So, you can imagine my confusion when the game simply cornered me behind a gate, with no way forward but to burglarise someone else’s estate. Realising this is only a virtual experience, I decided I’d risk it. Breath bated, my conscience on fire, I proceeded to navigate my digital character forward until he/she (not about to start assuming genders in 2019) edged them open.

Upon arriving inside, it became increasingly clear to me that the dwelling’s occupants were preparing to vacate the property, as belongings of every sort were piled about. I’d just entered someone else’s home in the midst of a move. How callous could I be? Truly feeling the guilt and remorse for my actions, I turned right back around and returned to the gated vestibule, where I resigned myself to a dark, wet corner to stew in my own selfishness.

I returned the game today, having struck a deal with the devil and welcomed bad Karma with neon lights for having intruded so nefariously. However, I will never forget the time I spent with this intriguing tale, and the meaning behind this short, yet impactful story. Hopefully when part 3 turns up on shelves (I’m seeing a tentative release date of 22 September, 1999, folks; write it down) I won’t be put into a moral dilemma where continuing my nighttime jog ends at being forced to burgle someone’s dwelling.

Decided to start doing single character challenges for FFX. Tidus actually was easier than playing with everyone overall. Took me at least 12 hours less too. Now I’m doing Kimahri, and it’s so much more annoying than I thought it would be. Someone on the gamefaq board is doing a Tidus/Yuna challenge, so I’m gonna do that next, sticking to their own sphere grid. I think that’ll be easy-peasy. Then Rikku only, Lulu/Wakka, and Auron only. I’m sure I’ll enjoy the Rikku only one, since I’m not redoing the beginning, just gonna reload from the Moonflow just before she joins the party for good. I’m tired of having to do the Jecht shot/Blitzball tournament over and over again.

Currently on my second run of Rammstein: The New Sclerosis for my Nintendo Entertainment System. It’s the sequel to Rammstein: The New Border, where our hero, Tiny-Willie, has to secure the Mexico-Texas frontier against the tyranny of Los Zetas, who in this alternate timeline, won World War I.

I’m really liking the fictional history behind this title, and its ability to thrust us hard into its magical world of wizardry and dragon-slaying. In this iteration of the world, America has been reduced to an irradiated wasteland, where the only survivors come out of Vault-Tec vaults funded by Trinity, all the way from the Isle of Yamatai. Tiny-Willie will embark on a heart-wrenching journey through the toxic hills, dales, and molehills of his former homeland to wage war against the evil Zetas mastermind, Fraud Angle. Between Tiny-Willie and his ragtag band of space pirates onboard Ava’s Hummer, justice will prevail as they travel the North American countryside in search of his quarry as they attempt to right the wrongs of the Third Hike.

I think that’s the story, anyway. At any rate, it’s a real thrill ride! Get your hands on this gaming gem today!

I just finished Days gone on PS4. A good open world with a good story and plenty of cliffhangers.
That said, there are bugs and slowdowns (I’m using Patch 1.10…) , but all the environment is "coherent" : predators will chase preys, enemies have to fight some wild beats and the weather (like the day and night) can change quickly.
Maybe it’s a good game, now, with enough patch (more coming..) and the digital "special price" of E3 …..

I decided I’d pick up a copy of this title called, "Arachnid-Gent" for the Playstation ver. 4.0. It’s aight. Lil’ pitchy tho, dog.

The ability to swing around between the skyscrapers of Jew York City is in itself a rather adrenaline-pumping experience, but the side quests where Mary Juana Watson hits you up for a booty call get a bit tedious. The button-mashing sequences where you’re prompted to do it faster and faster tend to drudge up a bit of a cramp in the digits. Oh, and don’t even get me started on those fetch-quests given by purple-haired vixen Screwoff. Definitely not the type to take home to meet mum.

I did like the constant appearances of longtime Spidey baddies like the Joker and the Riddler, though. Those bastardly dastards never cease to amaze with their wide range of antics. The first DLC, featuring Catwoman, really had me on the edge of my seat. So, this feline femme fatale really only ever wanted to steal a lifetime supply of laser pointers? Clever moppets, those pencil-pushers over at Insomniac. The plot twists never get stale. The cleverest of all, of course, is when we learn at the end that Doctor Squid is actually Uncle Ben in disguise; and here I thought they wouldn’t be cheap enough to go that route.

All in all, if you’re among those lucky enough to have upgraded your Playstation ver. 3.0 to a ver. 4.0, and weren’t conned into one of those always-on BoxX gaming consoles, this ought to be right up your alley! Pick up your copy now!

Well, not currently "gaming", but the last video-game I indulged in was this little number called Miniature Bad Dreams for the DOS family computer. Yeah, it’s a rather whimsical little bit about a wee lass in a yellow raincoat with an insatiable hunger, who learns while infiltrating an American Golden Corral restaurant that it’s okay to give in to your base primal instincts. On my 1rd playthrough, I was like a fish out of water. By my 2st, I knew my course. But once I arrived at my 3nd, I had this in the bag.

It’s a rather insightful little journey into the true effects of binging on red meats, this one – one that left me feeling rather gluttonous merely for snacking on some cold curry prior to "gaming". Our young heroine in the yellow raincoat must brave the bowels of the Titanic, and its unsightly crew of mentally inept upkeep maintenance associates. I found it especially spellbinding how these people with their button eyes are actually young Coraline’s…oh, drat. Wrong outing. As for Miniature Bad Dreams, well, the moral of the story is…don’t overeat? Don’t disturb the cooks when they’re raising a feast for hordes of greedy ‘Murican tourists? Don’t fall into the stewpot? It’s difficult to put it in a word, but I would say that the moral is rather obvious: GNOMES NEED LOVE TOO.

All in all, in conclusion, to sum it up, Coraline was a fantastic venture and one I’ll not soon forget. You’d better pick up your copy soon, too, or I swear by all things holy, I will frown in disapproval! Does that sound like justice to you? Didn’t think so. Hurry and collect yours today!

Recently I dabbled in a little piece of technological wonderment and fascination known to the world as Chronological Triggers, the heartwarming tale of a young millennial who finds himself lost in time. He sets out one day for the Faire for Millennials, where he meets the young damsel in distress, Marley (yes, from Marley & Me). Our fearless young dame has lost her jew-ler-y in the crowd, and tasks our valiant hero, Chrome, with escorting her to find it. But once they do, oh boy, it’s a whirlwind of high stakes adventure from then on out.

Once the two call into the appraiser to see about her fine family heirloom, they discover it to actually be a cheap plastic knockoff made in China! I mean, wot m8?! Needless to say, the adventure comes to a screeching halt and the two are left crestfallen and disheveled as despair overtakes them. They really subverted my expectations, Rian Johnson style. Of course, the adventure is said to continue in the upcoming sequel, Chrono Crossword Extravaganza. Look for it in your nearest brain teaser book section at your local supermarket 18 November 1999! You’d better have that marked on your calendar, posthaste, or so help me, I will sulk.
