Grenades are worse in the second game. Enemy AI facilitates throwing grenades onto your shoulder with near-perfect consistency.

Unless you mean blast radius. Because it's total shit in the first one; enemies just a meter away from the explosion are fine.

I meant the way you throw them. You don't have to twist your wrists in ungodly ways to freakin' aim. I like being able to just toss one out and get it over with. Also, you don't have to EQUIP the grenade like in the first one.

Equip part is annoying I guess, yeah. I have no problem using the SIXAXIS to modify pitch - in fact I prefer it to an analog stick. I have more control over slight adjustments that way.

Since Uncharted seems to use the SIXAXIS properly. The head/pelvis movements in LBP felt so buggy.

How do I get the Disgaea 3 trophy patch thing? I can't find it ._.
Anyone?

It should be automatic if you're connected to the internet when you try to play the game. At least that's how every trophy patch I've gotten has worked.

@awp: I didn't like having to spend all that time to throw a single grenade. Even though there's absolutely no physics for grenades in the second one, I don't care cause at least they go exactly where I want them to go. Makes things much simpler.

It's undisputably easier to just be able to aim throw the grenade where you already happen to be aiming. And it doesn't even have to be perfect since they're actually effective in the second one.

Don't you just have to run up to a guy, press R1 to shoot him once or twice, then just punch him? Also, you can die to get your streak.

you have to shoot them and then one-punch kill.

But sometimes I'll kick him, and I've determined that does not count. Other times they won't die, since it's actually impossible to achieve with certain weapons (ie 3 shots and a punch will not kill, 4 shots will kill without a punch). And even still, I'm absolutely positive I have one-punched multiple enemies (around 10 or more) after shooting them, and I haven't even gotten the Steel Fist 5 total, never mind 5 in a row. There's some special trick to it that the Internet will have to straighten out for me.

Star Wars is now 30 dollars new in Wal Mart, so I'm thinking of picking that up once I have a source of income.

Question: Have you been run-and-gunning them when you shoot or have you been aiming? Cause the former's much easier and only requires one shot, usually.

As for Star Wars, if you spring for the extra $10 or something, you can get the Ultimate Sith deal with, like, $35 of DLC.

Yeah, I saw that God of War thing. I thought about it, but I don't think I'll get it. If they did a Ratchet remaster thing, however, I'd totally get that. I still need to get the Force Unleashed trophies anyway.

There's this place where you can get the Dyno-might stuff really easy. I forget exactly which level, but I think it might be Fortress? Anyway, it's the part where you can stealth kill two or three enemies in a row, then there's a guy with a grenade launcher up on this thing to the right. Then when you clear that area, you can get up there and use the grenade launcher to shoot the large group of people that comes down from the cliff ahead. If you're lucky, you can get Dyno-might twice, I think. Then you just die and repeat.

Once I clear Crushing, I'm going to find a good location and just spawn grenade launchers. I don't expect to have any difficulty with Dyno-Might. Crushing has been a bit annoying so far. Enemies take 8 rifle shots to kill (roughly 6 pistol) and I'm only on chapter 9.

Shit gets real near the end of the game. The church courtyard fights are a bitch and the interior church fights aren't easy either. I think you already did the plane crash fight, right? Cause that one's one of the hardest, if not THE hardest.

And the problem with Dyno-might which makes it hard is a) blast radius sucks as we all know and b) there's hardly enough people in that blast radius, let alone even nearby each other. So that method was a surefire way of getting 3 together each time.

For the record I know what you're talking about. Pretty sure it's right before you go up to the castle that you have to scale. Chapter four or five. I think it's like ten seconds before chapter five.

Just did the first waterski section. Got past one of the more annoying sections where you drop down into that watery labyrinth of sorts and Drake complains about a plumber. There's a couple more spots I hate, one being in/outside the church, the other in an area that I can picture perfectly but suck at explaining. It's a temple with an open courtyard in the center, and a pathway left and right; the second floor is littered with holes and is only used to get over a wall so you can shoot explosive barrels to blow a door down.

I was doing that scene after the Eddy Raja jailbreak and was frustrated by the slow reload speed of the grenade launcher, since one missed grenade shot gave the enemies enough time to kill you while you were loading the next shot. About halfway through the jeep checkpoints my third time through the game, I realized there was an actual gun on the mount with R1. Fuck that made it so much easier.

You didn't realize the shoot button shoots? o3o Had no problem with the Jeep bit, but I'm on my first run-through playing on Normal, so... yeah.

Uncharted has replaced Batman for "thing to play with girlfriend over" because she's awesome like that, but it makes for very slow progress. Again, budget gamerrrr so I've just finally gotten into the first one. Personally, I ahte SIXAXIS for almost anything, and aiming a grenade takes me a lot of getting shot to throw. Consequently, tehy get very little use from me unless I'm just really tired of dealing with a particular enemy and it seems easy enough to get at them. Thay ain't the brightest about running away...

As for R&C, just need to finish hard mode for my last thing. =3= Still. Been poking at that and Bioshock whilest dealin' with commissions and junk and yay unemployed. As for a collection of the oldies, I'd totally be down for R&C too. 'Twould be amazin', especially since I'd never managed to finish any of the PS2 ones...

I've heard good things of Braid. That interests me...

Braid is a very interesting game. Played it at my brother's house for an hour or two. If for nothing else (and that is a load of crap, there's lots of else) the final level is so worth it. Some of the puzzles are really tough to figure out though. I didn't get through all of them.

I got it on PC, I think I needed help on three pieces, when I checked the walk thru there was another type of collectables I never noticed. I was in disbelief.

So Braid was a little disappointing, but only because I had been thinking it was the greatest thing ever for, like, a full year. Also, the speed runs were kind of a buzzkill. I don't see why they put those in there at all. I'd have rather had challenge puzzles or something.

Anyway, I got the Ultimate Sith thing for Force Unleashed. Time to grind these trophies.

Also, if you didn't hear yet, March 9th for FFXIII. Looks like God of War III is getting some competition~ Or no competition at all since they are probably on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Yeah I don't think there's a lot of overlap between GoW and FF - though I am interested in both, if I had to choose one over the other, honestly I'd probably go for GoW. The Final Fantasys just aren't what they used to be. I think X might have been the last respectable addition to the franchise - at least numerically. Forgot about Crisis Core and DoC, I found both of those pretty enjoyable.But FFTA2, FF12DS, and FF12 all had some level of disappointment to them, though FF12 was at least fun.

Yeah, X was ok, but I got sick of the turn-based stuff after a while. The next turn-based RPG I'll probably play will be Golden Sun DS. I like the action RPGs, so that's why FFXII is my favorite FF so far. Not to mention it kept me occupied for, like, months. FFXIII looks like it's taking a small step in the direction of turn-based though. I think I remember seeing a small, but seamless transition between overworld and battle.

FF13's trailer (at lest the last I saw) was so melodramatic I almost gagged on it. I'll wind up getting it just for a hopefully decent PS3 RPG seeing as that's the genre I got a PS2 for, but I've gotten far too used to the more upbeat tone of the NIS SRPGs and stuff like Mario and Luigi. Some quantity of humor is nice, or at least something besides the guy everyone marks as the comic relief crying while he point a gun at someone while screaming how suicide isn't worth it or some such wtfery.

GoW's been a bit out of my realm since day 1, and given 3 is all tied in continuity and even more gore than ever I think I've gotten shoved even more away from ever daring to give it a shot. Closest I've come is the werehog stuff in Sonic Unleashed, and really for the genre there's not much middle ground between M-rated stuff and that. You'd think someone would try to fill that niche. =3=

Anyone remember Nano Breaker? The game where every enemy shot out fucking gallons of blood with every hit? Oh wait, except it's not blood. It's some other whatever shit that's just red. That game always made me sick when I looked at it too long. I don't think they've made a game bloodier than that one yet.

So aside from awp, who's getting Bayonetta? Anyone interested in Dark Void either? That one looks pretty fun, too. Fuckin' jetpaaaaaacks.

I remember Nano Breaker, but I don't remember if I beat it or not. I gonna swerve away from PS3 Bayonetta, hope my 360 still works. I heard awful things about the PS3 port.

Oh yeah, that's worrying. Hopefully some of that gets fixed, but even if it doesn't, it's not like I, personally, have a choice in systems. Maybe I'll wait a bit before I preorder or anything. I'm also gonna make sure Dark Void is decent before I think about getting that one, too. From the looks of things, though, they have the jetpack stuff down pretty well, but I'm wondering about the ground combat. I guess if that's decent enough, it shouldn't be an issue since it's a damn jetpack game.

Bayonnetta is just out there enough to hold my curiosity, but I hadn't heard anything about PS3 issues...

I'm also in the "no choice in systems" scenario. A high-end laptop not even two years old can't run a thing even at minimum specs now. I know two years isn't much for a computer, but dang. Minimum specs? Really?everything needs a 2.4 processor and I've a 2.0. Sad panda.

So for me nine times out of ten it's PS3 or nothing. .-.

My brother spoke highly of the Bayonetta demo, but iirc he said that Sega (or members thereof) were the ones doing the porting from 360 to PS3 and they're just doing a poor job of it.

Actually saw the Sith Star Wars pack in a store yesterday, but lucky me it was not priced. So I don't know if it costs more than the 35 dollar edition or not.

I do believe it's 40. I know Wal-Mart presently has any remaining non-Sith editions priced at 20 because... I don't think I even need to say why I know these things anymore. XD

But I'd say the 40 one is definitely the better deal of the two. Extra goodies are always wonderful thingssss~

Just got/beat the Borderlands zombie DLC stuff. That's probably the best DLC I've gotten for any game so far. It's fucking hilarious and doesn't take itself all that seriously. Decent amount of content, too, I guess. Lots of...you know, zombies. I dunno. I don't have much bad stuff to say about it. It was laggy occasionally, but I kinda played it in one sitting and games tend to do that. Also, there were a lot of big groups of zombies, too. Wouldn't normally cause much slowdown, but sometimes it did.

I'm gonna be getting to try Borderlands soon(I'm getting it from gamefly) so I hope it's as good as people say. Also, I got Valkyria Chronicles, and I have to say it has a pretty awesome concept, a ton of fun, just got done with chapter 7.

Also, what do you guys think of the PS3 Slim? I don't like it cause it has twice the amount gigs as my PS3 and is cheaper. I don't like how they discontinued the old models either, good thing I got my PS3 before the slim, cause that'd be the only way I could play PS2 games.

So wait, you got rid of the PS2 after getting a PS3? I still own mine, and I love it. Otherwise, the PS3 Slim is better by far. In the end I'm still not getting it since I already have a PS3 to begin with. Just not that many games, unless people enjoy playing Rock Band 2.

Why would I get rid of a PS2 if I had one, without being able to use your memory cards I would keep a PS2 if I had one, I still think it's kinda bullshit to get rid of the backwards compatibility. Also, this is just a question about the Slim, but does it even read DVD's, or just blu-ray?(You know, for DVD movies) If it's the former, that's more bullshit for lack of backwards compatibility.

A lot of people get rid of their PS2 after getting a PS3, then get frustrated that the PS3 they own doesn't have backwards capability. Shoulda kept the PS2 to begin with. Either way, I watch most of my movies on the computer. =p Of course I do mean DVDs. If the slim doesn't have the backwards capabilities you want, then don't get it. If it's unimportant, go ahead and get it. Otherwise it's not that big of a deal since there are other ways to play them PS2 games/watch them DVDs.
At least that's my opinion.

I don't like the Slim cause the cool touchpad buttons with actual buttons. Also, it just looks kinda lame. It got rid of a bunch of ports and stuff, too, and you can't change the OS on it and things like that. I was about to say it's a slimmed down version, but I guess that's the point.

As far as I understand it, any Blu-Ray player is backwards-compatible with DVDs. if there's some that aren't, congratulations, they win the impractically stupid device award, courtesy of moi! Also, there's been more than a few rumors going about about plans to bring emulated PS2 compatability to the PS3 now, giving it download games much as they do with PSX. I'd be both surprised and incredibly peeved if this didn't stretch to reading the games off disc as well, since it would give me an excuse to play some PS2 games I own but haven't touched yet due largely to "I got a PS3 durt durt durt collect dust, older model!" Iunno, like mah shiny toys, I guess.

I borrowed inFAMOUS from a friend. I adored the Sly Cooper games but am still finding myself pretty glad I didn't buy this... Now that I have most of the powers it's a lot less aggravating, but when you're just starting out the game pretty much blows. That and I've died while punching a garbage can, and since nobody could tell where the bullets were coming from once anyone in the room at the time has since declared that God hates Cole and killed him. It's rare a death on that game feels particularly justified so much as a crapshoot working against you, and I'm never a big fan of that.

Also I pulled out the ol' Genesis collection again. PHANTASY STAR THE FIRST, WEEEEEEE! Actually, no, it and LBP are good for multiplayer and I've actually needed a shred of that lately. o3o

L4D is an interesting concept, and TF2 looks fun, but from my experience with the typical FPS crowd I'd rather avoid anything multipayer dependent lest your own team mates yell at you a lot because you're not some golden god at it like everyone else seems to be.

Thus, Portal and Bioshock. Solo affairs, and fairly inviting to someone who hasn't ever beaten an FPS without cheating until they brought the Big Daddies along...

I beat Bioshock without cheating. Hurrrrr. -feels slighty more competent in a genre he's typically found impenetrable-

TF2 is more like a laid back stoner than a vulgar Halo-type drunken frat boy - from my (and I'm assuming most other people's) experiences people in TF2 are more there for the fun of it. I'm pretty inept when it comes to the strategy and know-where-to-go part of online FPSs but I was never met with contempt or disapproval.

Course that was years ago, when TF2 was brand spankin' new.

People get mad when playing videos games.

TF2 is just good because it seems to alleviate the standard FPS rage most FPS games seem to garner and usually the few select angry players you know are just generally angry people.

I recently got Borderlands from gamefly, the game is freaking awesome, the only complaint I have is that in split screen, the menus aren't made smaller, use just have to pan them with the right stick, but I got used to it. I haven't tried playing online though, I don't have a good headset and I can't see it happening without being able to talk to the others. But it's fun with my brother, even if we die all the time.

Online is kind of annoying because unless the host has the best damn internet ever or something, there's gonna be anywhere from a small to large amount of delay between your controller commands and the actual movement onscreen. Split screen is fun though. Solo's my favorite, although there are times where it's like, "If only I had a partner right now".

By the way, I always forget to mention that Brad from 4 Player Podcast totally reminds me of Rolled and/or vice versa. So I keep thinking Rolled is crazy about Bayonetta, but that's Brad.

The slow down isn't much horrible yet, gotta download the 360 demo whenever released to compare.
I haven't noticed any slowdown yet, I think. This game is too fun when it's not experiencing slowdown for it to be a problem though, just like Fallout 3. Except this is more fun than that, so if it slows down less often, it'll be ok.

afaik the bayonetta demo was released like a month or two ago for both platforms, at least for PS3, but you needed a JP PSN to get it (which of course is both free and region-free).
Old news. I didn't feel like making an account just for that. I think there was another demo like that and I didn't feel like making an account for that either.

I didn't make mine because the language switches to Japanese when I change my country to Japan. then I wasn't sure what I was looking at.

New Borderlands DLC coming out soon. Also, LBP is finally getting water in the form of Pirates of the Caribbean DLC.

Is LBP the game with the most DLCs?

I think Rock Band 2 trumps everything, but I don't think that counts cause that's just cheating. Burnout Paradise has a lot of DLC, too. LBP just has a lot of costumes and stickers and random crap.

Disgaea 3 had like 30 characters and a new story mode via DLC. It was alright.

Borderlands DLC? Bah, they should've worked on optimizing the game's engine =\

Man, the people who should've been optimizing their engine instead of releasing tons of DLC is Bethesda, man. At least I could get through the Borderlands DLC without a dozen freezes and glitches.

LBP's DLC is largely costumes and stickers, but there's a few decent kits and a music pack if you're into level creation at all.

Disgaea's DLC was largely characters, a few new chapters about Beryl, and some additional Item World modes for hardcore enthusiasts that came with online leaderboards and such for those who haven't sunk enough of their life into the game yet. The downside of most of the DLC is that you had to have cleared the game's story to access it, particularly the additional characters. Also, the pricing is a bit wonky - if you get the mass download pack, you're actually paying about half a dollar more than you would be getting all the things individually. I guess you're paying for the convenience, but the idea of bundles is typically to encourage you to get the whole mess for a lower price (LBP's costumes follow that rule), so NIS drops the ball a bit there.

On the other hand, most of the stuff in Cross Edge wound up being free, even if it is fairly small doses of content. I've heard mixed reactions to CE tho, so I've not gotten it.

No, I've been playing FFX. I am so hip and trendy.

yeah I don't get it, they're not exactly crooked - some NIS DLC is free, some of it's a great price, and some of it is...I mean, what the hell. All that DLC is what, 45? If it were 30, it'd be an okay deal, if it were 20, it'd be good.

Me, I was going to start playing KH2:FM+ (I did play it for about 20 minutes actually) but my Japanese is still far too weak for it to be worth my time, so I'm going to give Shadow of the Colossus a try, since I've had it for over a year. Apparently it's one of the greatest games ever made, so I guess I'm in for a treat.

Oh man, I love Shadow of the Colossus. Too bad they aren't doing anything like it with The Last Guardian. Screw innovation, I want more Colossus, dammit.

I beat the first boss in Shadow of the Colossus, then spent the next 15 minutes wandering around. Trying to reach the next boss, then I said WTF am I doing and turned it off. Sometimes I regret that, but riding poorly controlled horse for a long time is boring.

Yeah, some of the bosses were kinda hard to find. Some of the bosses sucked, like the bird thing and the flying sand worm thing. Some are just awesome though.

I have a buddy who picked that up recently. His reactions are a bit mixed, not sure if he likes it or not really...

Second boss took me a bit too, since there's that HUGE BRIDGE and the boss is on the OTHER SIDE but there's a little tiny stone bridge off to the left of that bridge

also horse confused me at first, but it handles almost exactly like a car. Left turns left, right turns right, tap X a couple times then hold it to drive forward.

New LBP DLC next week. Pirates of the Carribean, apparently, getting the MGS treatment and adding in water at long last to the game.

LBP is awesome in that they don't need sequels to update the thing. i'm oddly fond of this stuff.

OMG DANTE'S INFERNO HAS JUST SENT ME A MESSAGE OF CRAP

VO IS TERRIBLE/RANDOM
Gameplay was not as good at GOW, nothing made me wanna enjoy the play time
RANDOM Shirtless girls, i mean c'mon, i've seen those in GOW, no need here, it's pretty much just copying GOW, and made it one of the worst DEMOS I played >_< (dude my 9 year old bro was with me ;_;)

uhhh just plz, i really want to kill myself if i buy this game, it even sent a message of "GO TO HELL" probably meaning if u buy this terrible game, u'll probably end up in hell :/

if this is really based on a Poem, i hope the poem wasn't as bad.

uhhh. w/e i just hated the demo, wasn't good >O<

"not as good as GoW" doesn't make it a bad game. >___> Kinda tired of people acting surprised when something copies a successful formula, then later bitches if there's too little of it (see: "Why aren't there any Zelda-like games?" Probably because they're tired of being compared to a series that keeps getting 9+/10 scores).

Dante's Inferno demo wasn't bad, but the start definitely felt pretty clunky. Once they let me start unlocking some of the moveset and fleshed it out a bit it was a lot better. Not a huge fan of having to pull on those fountains for stuff, tho. Let me use the big scythe to smash things. Srsly.

The poem, the Divine Comedy, is more than a little responsible for how we depict Hell in most fiction today. I've never read it, but given it's age and your chatspeak I'd take the wager you wouldn't care for it, either.

Regardless of if it's good or bad, tho, it doesn't hold a candle to Bayonetta. b:

The biggest problem I could forsee with Dante is the absolve/punish thing to get XP. That was only a demo and it already felt tedious to do that crap. There's just no good reason you should have to do that to get XP.

I played the Army of Two 40th day demo with my brother, and dear god was it annoying, we sucked at the game and we got stuck at this one part where every time we died we would have to watch another cutscene, it got so tiresome we just gave up.

Games still do that? I thought they learned after the early PS2 era that it was unacceptable.

They don't lets you skip cutscenes, which is just stupid. Especially when half the cutscenes in that demo were long and unnecessary. But I liked the gameplay and co-op and I don't suck and stuff, so I mostly liked it.

I waited from 11 to 12:30 last night to download the MAG beta thing just to finally find out that you can't even play it until the 4th. The servers are closed. Man, I was pissed.

Has anyone here played the Fat Princess demo? The demo makes me want to shell out the 15 bucks for the full game but I'm gonna wait till after Christmas cause I still have some last minute shopping to do.

But the game is just awesome, the online matches are fast paced and don't lag and theres quite a good deal of strategy involved. The only problem is that some of your teammates can be retarded.

Brother got Arkham Asylum on Christmas Eve.
I got Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 on Christmas.
My brother went out and bought Far Cry 2, Assassin's Creed 2 and CoD 4.

...So there's a lot to get through. (And I still haven't finished Resistance 1 and 2)


Uncharted 2 has some fucking great level design.
Edit: Playing the tutorial level again after an action packed sequence, not so fun...

Yeah, it starts out too slow. The whole sneaky section in the beginning seemed like a good idea until you got to the other 99% action part of the game.

Oh my God. After playing a well designed game like Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2 is just the most broken-feeling game I've ever played. I'm playing on the second hardest diff. right now, which I thought would make it more fun and intense. But really, this game is just I Spy: The FPS. Pop out, try to figure out where the hell the instantaneous bullet-fire is coming from, go back around the corner, heal, pop out, attempt to shoot before you're killed, fail, retry. It doesn't help that the enemies spawn endlessly half the time. It's fun to beat a hard room and wipe out all the dudes. I dunno. Whatever. Thought the game would at least meet my low expectations. Spec Ops better be fun.

They release at least one new main series title like every year, do you expect extreme polish?

I would; being a cash cow isn't an acceptable substitute for poor performance.

Why are people still buying this shit if it's not even polished?

I honestly thought that 5 million units sold in 5 days meant the game couldn't have possibly sucked as much as I thought it would. Everything looks fine on video and everything, but it's just...not fun. I had no way of knowing. It's a pretty polished game as far as technical shit goes, but it's just not fun or exciting. I haven't died this much since Mirror's Edge. I've played plenty of unpolished, but FUN games. I guess this game is just too stuck up its own ass to feel like being fun.
