My level is in the early 20s, and it looks like endgame you can start becoming invincible, at least to certain attacks. I really hope I can gain immunity to:
falling
vehicle hits
explosions
that would make for some even more fun dicking around
Skydiving without a parachute!

Holy shit, guys. I think some of you may know that I fucking love the Legend of Zelda series. Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Minish Cap, Seasons, Ages, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks. I may have even put that in order from most to least favorite on accident. Anyway, I just need to preface with that so it doesn't sound like I'm trolling when I say I fucking hate Skyward Sword with a pink and purple passion and I hope it burns in hell. I really almost beat it, too. I'm at the part where I need to talk to Levias or whatever, so I gave it a fair chance.
I finished the first two dungeons of Skyward Sword and apart from the awful writing I've been really enjoying it
I need to start it D:
I find what you say to be really funny Seibei, not because I disagree with it, but because it's against what I've heard about the game from other people. A lot of people have told me that it's the reason to buy a wii again if you sold yours. But regardless, I can definitely see where you're coming from.
I've only gotten to right before the second dungeon but I find it pretty good. One thing that I do like is that a lot of enemies will take some work to actually kill, because you have to line up you sword slices. However I would have to say that the motion controls can be a bit sketchy at times and swing the opposite way you intended, but otherwise to me it feels pretty good. Although, I may change my opinion in the future as I got farther in the game as when I played Twilight Princess, I got to a certain point and just lost the drive to play.

You guys have to get much further into the game before you can really see why I started hating the game though. The game is fine for the first 3 dungeons or so. But afterwards, they make you backtrack through the first three areas again, which feels like cheating. There's no snow, water, or shadow dungeon. The more you play the game, the more you realize that they care less about using different items to defeat enemies, and care more about their WiiMotion Plus gimmicks. They would be fine if they actually functioned properly more often. Not to mention the bosses don't really feel like Zelda bosses. You guys have got to get to the part where you can swim. I dare you to tell me that controlling Link as he swims is fun. The thing that set me over the edge with that game was when I tried to redo Rickety Coaster to get a Heart Piece, but I kept having to retry because the game couldn't tell if I was leaning left or right.
My two main gripes about the controls are
1, there's no sensitivity slider. I really like to exaggerate my movements when I play, and some games let you configure how much you have to move the controller for it to read the command. The nunchuck is particularly sensitive to that.
2, as mentioned earlier, the tracking IS a little wonky. The wii remote doesn't really handle being pointed away from the TV all that well. Link holds the sword the way you hold the wii remote, and I generally keep the sword behind me and pointed toward the ground when I'm running around but it often doesn't work that way in-game.
It's pretty good for what it is though, and at least decent enough that you can make masturbatory gestures with your sword in front of enemies when you're feeling cocky

Yeah, I wish I could amp the sensitivity up a bit for aiming/cursor-based stuff. The sword works well enough, but there have been a few instances where the sword, like, reset positions or something, so everything was off while I was trying to fight. The thing I hate most about the fighting though is when you've got to do that whole song and dance where you have to point your sword in one way, then quickly slice from the opposite direction. So if you start from the right and you need to go left-to-right, how do you quickly move your sword back to the left so you can do that without just swiping your sword to the left and fucking everything up?
I should say that I do enjoy the dungeons themselves though. And upgrading items is cool, but I think it's lame that bags/quivers/satchels take up an adventure slot. Actually, the entire adventure slot system sucks. The item wheel is ok, but it'd be nice if it paused when it was open.

Well, I 100%'d Saints Row 3, so I guess it's time for Saints Row 2. By the way, it's really annoying how they didn't let you choose black as a clothing color. That makes no sense.
Saint's Row 2 is probably much harder to get 100% in. I remember the highest-difficulty diversions being really, really difficult (for some diversions). I wasn't able to clear all the drug trafficking ones iirc - particularly because you were confined to a single vehicle and once that thing was on fire, Game Over Man

So I played the very beginning of Saints Row 2, but I don't think I can keep playing that after beating Saints Row 3. Like, it's such a major step down that I just can't deal with it. The fact that I can't just jump straight into cars sucks so bad. And the control scheme is the stupidest thing I've seen. I also miss my character. Some of that wouldn't be such a problem if I wasn't already so entranced with SR3 though.
At least we now know that Saints Row 3 is one of those games which had a better sequel.

Jump on the hood of the car and press triangle.
SR3 is better than SR2 gameplay-wise, but SR2 had a better character creator

You have to jump on the car? That's weird. I liked being able to sprint and jump into the car from a block away.
I will not argue the fact that the character customization was better. But it didn't have some of the options that I used in the third one, so I couldn't even get close to having the same character as the third one. Also, the clothing options were way, way, way better. You had styles, more clothing options, and you could pick black and white for once.

Saints Row 2 allowed me to make Waluigi, so I can never argue with those results.
Topic Starter
Oh, it's a bug. I thought that was a gameplay feature or something. That would be weird. Anyway, I hate how they switched square and X around in areas like reloading/jumping and handbraking. And R3 to zoom sucks in any game. And this may only be a temporary problem, but it was pissing me off in the beginning. A lot of the times when an enemy would melee me, I'd fall down, get up, then immediately get hit again before I can counter or run away and have to get back up again. So stupid.
I saw some SR3 gameplay videos that demonstrated how wrong I'm playing that game. I like base jumping, but I've never grappled a pedestrian and taken them base jumping with me. There's a cheat code that makes the entire city of Steelport intoxicated and I had no idea.

I've never actually had a problem with that instant 'warp' inside a car when you stand on it as it was always a massive time saver when you're in the middle of running for your bloody life. XD
It's a lot nicer than how clunky and retarded trying to steal cars in GTAIV was at least.
Random splice of fun and humour made it enjoyable as heck.
Don't tell me none of you launched yourself from aircraft to land on a car and instantly start driving as if nothing ever happened whilst pissing yourself laughing?

Full campaign or just co-op mode? PS3 exclusive or anything on PS3? Saints Row 3 has full co-op. Haven't done it, but I don't see why it wouldn't be fun. Army of Two 2 and Resident Evil 5 have fun co-op. Dead Island, Borderlands.

Ok, I tried playing some Deus Ex today. I didn't get very far though. I kept getting bored and taking breaks and at one point I even took a nap because of how bored I was. That game makes it seem like you have a choice between using stealth or going in guns a-blazing. But you don't. Because you get a ridiculous amount of XP for doing stealth and you get piddly shit for just shooting them. And when you start an alarm, the game makes you feel like you fucked up. If they want this game to be so stealth-based though, they could've at least made the stealth fun.
I heard they don't because boss fightsSeibei4211 wrote:

That's part of the reason why the game's so annoying though. They really, really, really want you to use stealth, but then they have boss fights which basically prohibit that, so it makes no sense.
Edit: Oh, another reason I know they want you to use stealth is that your health regeneration is pathetically slow and you can barely take any damage even on Easy. Also, the controls are permanently configured for a stealth game as opposed to a shooting game (L1 is cover and R3 is zoom).

So I think my problem with Saints Row 2 initially was the fact that I tried to jump into that right after beating SR3. But I'm revisiting that game now. That jumping on cars trick is bloody awesome. It's kind of weird how you have to do the activities to get the bonuses in this.

Almost platinum'd Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny. Just need to catch 2000 fish for it...
First Rune Factory game I've played.
Great game, saw Skyripper playing it so I decided to get it.
Also got No More Heroes: Hero's Paradise. I saw some girl licking a bat on the cover of the case and I knew I had to get it.
At first, I fell asleep an hour in because it got really boring but then it started becoming fun as I progressed through the game. The handling on the motorcycle driven is really wonky. I don't know if that's just how it is but there's a 1 second delay before it starts turning. That's one thing I don't like about the game not to mention the minute wait to save. Overall though, it's decent.
I'm probably gonna buy Saints Row 3 just because.
Waiting for FFXIII-2 'til then.

It's kind of crap that they made a sequel, and then made sure that you didn't get to keep any of the party members from the original. So you're stuck with Serah and a dude wearing poofy, purple pants. Not to mention everything's so wildly different that it's hard to call it a sequel. Definitely feels like a spin-off.
from what I've seen the battle system is almost identical
Topic Starter
Yeah, that's the only thing that's keeping me from thinking this should just be FFXV. But you've got towns again, you can replay parts of the story, I guess, you've got the Pokemon crap, you've got a new battle encounter system, branching dialogue trees, summons work differently, and there are quicktime events in battles now. The only thing that's the same as FFXIII is paradigms.
Paradigms were kind of a big deal though.
If I had to use a completely imaginary weighted system I'd probably say paradigms were about 85% of the battle system.

A bunch? I think there's only the two permanent party members. I think you get to play as Lightning temporarily and I don't know if Sazh is playable, but I think he's DLC anyway. And I think you can play as some NORA members or something?
I'm guessing Serah and futurefag as permanent party with some Lightning playability. Guest characters will show up but they will be autonomous, like the NORA members were in the beginning of XIII (or were they, so fucking long since I touched that game). Snowfag (omg I needed moar party in da back) and Hope (I like to think I outgrew my androgyny) will be some such characters. Whatever, as long as I can use a malboro and breathe on bitches I will be satisfied.

RE5 was actually a bit disappointing though, don't you think? I mean, that doesn't mean RE6 won't be any good, and won't be better, but I find anticipation for it challenging.
In other words I have acquired and been playing Shadow of the Colossus in 3D. I appreciate the 3D aspect of it but dammit why is every friggin' HD remake done so poorly

It would have been nearly impossible for me to have been disappointed with RE5. I didn't play any other RE game and I wasn't even looking forward to RE5. I only got it because Rolled convinced me to get it and I only played it in co-op with him on Veteran during my first playthrough. That was the best way to experience that game for me. If I was waiting for that game and though RE4 was the greatest thing ever, then played RE5 by myself, regardless of difficulty, it would've sucked. Now see, after I had such a great time with RE5, I played RE4 because of all the hype, and I didn't like it even half as much as RE5, so that disappointed me.
