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.rust45 wrote:

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.RL Link wrote:

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.rust45 wrote:

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.

Ha ha. I still only have about... 6 trophies. Will probably get more if I actually played the PS3 more often, but at the same time I'm also too lazy to care. X_x
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

Hm... Thinking if I should get that. Still not sure. Ratchet and Clank is taking priority right now on that decision.
I'm curious as to why there is less CoD discussion in this thread. It's overrated and everything but I just picked it up, (if you can't beat em--) and it's decent. I needed something to fill my Halo void when I switched back to sony. Anybody have mw2?
If I did, I'd definitely have it on PC

Also, CoD isn't my type of game. Not much of a FPS guy. TF2 and L4D(and maybe Half Life) are the first ones to catch my eye since Goldeneye and Turok on the N64.
Topic Starter
I'm guessing there's no discussion of MW2 because no one who frequents this thread actually has that game. I have been noticing that you've been playing it a lot though, Rolled. Like, damn. And it's always MP. Have you beaten single player?
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.

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.
Topic Starter
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".
lag was less a problem for me than framerate was, since lol 4.5 year old machine

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.Atmey wrote:

New Borderlands DLC coming out soon. Also, LBP is finally getting water in the form of Pirates of the Caribbean DLC.
Topic Starter
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 =\
Borderlands DLC? Bah, they should've worked on optimizing the game's engine =\
Topic Starter
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.
Topic Starter
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 bridgeAtmey wrote:

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.

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.

Uncharted 2 has some fucking great level design.

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.

Well, I did MW2 wrong because I played Hardened first. I tried Vet first, but that was waaaay too hard at the time. I thought it'd be fun cause RE5 sure as hell was fun on Veteran. I got MW2 for the Spec Ops. The only way I'll touch MP is if the DLC map pack shit comes with trophies. And even then, I might just say fuck it.
As for Bayonetta, I haven't found a single, tiny bit of slowdown or lag yet. The loading times are there, and some are pretty stupid, like loading the start menu and stuff, but yeah, no lag so far. But I'm only up to chapter 5. I've been thorough, so it's been slow going.

Maybe the first one, but I'm pretty sure people just play this sequel for the MP. Most of the people I know who have this game don't have a single trophy because they only play MP and that mode has no trophies. Rolled knows what I'm talking about.

Well for one, the american release was supposed to be somewhat more tuned than the japanese PS3 release, and people said the noticeable slowdown doesn't hit untill late game like chapter 14. Although, most topics about the lag talk about how noticeable the difference between 30 and 60 fps is.(hardly any other than it looks a little more clean)Atmey wrote:

Also I finally got my PS3 and Valkyria Chronicles and MGS4.
Valkyria Chronicles is fun. Thankfully despite the turn based system, both sides units attack when they see someone running from cover to cover. Probably one of the farthest games you can be from turned based while still being turn based :V
The only reason people talk down about call of duty online play is because it has such a very steep learning curve. It could be your first match ever and you could be matched up with the top player. Although I will say that if you enjoy running mindlessly around a map until you find an opponent, and have a long drawn out gun battle to the death, this game really won't be your thing. MW2 is a lot more reliant on strategy, knowing your terrain, out-predicting opponents, etc. Hence why it has such a big learning curve, because you don't pick up such techniques in one sitting.

* Make room so small that throwing a batarang and dodging a titan while fighting shit tonnes of goons becomes frustratingly hard
* Throw more baddies in
This shit is stupidly hard, it feels like the worst designed fight they could have made.

Yeah but it can also be annoying as fuck. It's fun in its own regard but don't think you're skilled because you can whore killstreak bonuses.awp wrote:

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.
Yeah.
I'm gonna play CoD4 or something until I feel like trying that shit again.

You just gotta chicken shit it, bro. Evade/counter like the wind and let that titan take them out until you can get on top of him and wipe out most of the opposition.

Ok, I finally have a verdict on this PS3 Bayonetta slowdown nonsense. FINALLY beat the game today and there was exactly 1 spot that had a noticeable amount of slowdown. It's during a part where there's over a hundred moving platforms moving around at once, so, you know, it's understandable. You only have to fight 3 really weak dudes like that. There wasn't a damn bit of slowdown in Chapter XIV, so I don't know where that came from. I was able to get the Prologue to slow down a bit when I revisited it with some later weapons, but that was a fluke.
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing.Seibei4211 wrote:

Still the pause is irritating, especially when you want to skip a cutscene, but the loading to the pause+skip is longer than the cutscene itself. lol
I liked all the weapons, except the whip. I might have not unlocked them all. I liked katana+ice skating shoes.

Yeah, we probably only have half of the weapons. You get one for beating Normal/Hard/Hardest difficulty, one for completing 100 chapters, and 1 for beating the secret boss. The only one that's actually new, I'm assuming, is the one for beating 100 chapters. I want that weapon so bad. Unlocking all of the accessories and extra characters is gonna be a challenge though.
I feel the same way about that pause load time. It's not that big of a deal during normal gameplay, but I like to skip cutscenes a lot and it's annoying to have to wait to skip a cutscene. You always have to ask yourself which is faster: the cutscene or waiting to skip it?

I can see modern warfare 2 being fun in a LAN environment, but overall the game is just not that fun. You've heard this from me before but the reason why it's not is because you literally die in 1 second in almost all circumstances. This leaves you with 2 choices to get kills and not die:Rolled wrote:
The only reason people talk down about call of duty online play is because it has such a very steep learning curve. It could be your first match ever and you could be matched up with the top player. Although I will say that if you enjoy running mindlessly around a map until you find an opponent, and have a long drawn out gun battle to the death, this game really won't be your thing. MW2 is a lot more reliant on strategy, knowing your terrain, out-predicting opponents, etc. Hence why it has such a big learning curve, because you don't pick up such techniques in one sitting.
1. Camp
2. Run around the map in a learned path over and over again
The first choice is boring as hell, which isn't what a game should be. The second option a bot could do for you; also boring.
People want "long drawn out" gun battles to the death because that is action, and action = fun. Games should be fun.

The only thing worse than MW2 is MAG. Holy crap, that was one of the most boring online FPS games I've ever played. Practically every game mode is secure/defend, which means if you're on the defending team, you practically win. When you die, and you will a thousand times if you're attacking, you get spawned what feels like miles away from where you need to be, so you have to run back and get killed again. Penny Arcade summed it up pretty well. Create character, run for five minutes, get killed by some guy you didn't even see. I'm surprised at how good the snipers are in that game considering how much the sniper rifles suck. There is little to no action in this "massive action game." I was hoping it'd be fun, too.
TF2 and Quake directly appeal to gamers who want shootouts because every single confrontation is like a mini fight.
Its not just 100% about positioning advantage.

Guys I just got a helicopter and just flew over the enemy spawn and shot bullets at the spawn door. Do I have good positioning skills or what.

Totally, bro. It's strategic.
Played Assassin's Creed 2.
I'm sick of games making me press square during cut scenes.
I mean seriously, quick time event to kiss someone?
Quick time event to waggle your arms and feet?
Quick time event to do something that isn't even needed in the cut scene but exists solely for the sake of making you interact with that cut scene because they want to make sure you're paying attention?
Quick time events out the ass.
Nice game though apart from them switching between Italian and English every 3 seconds.
And it also it punishes me for stabbing minstrels. They're fucking minstrels for god's sake, they're practically made to be stabbed. They make them all in your face and shit specifically to make you want to stab them.

At least most of the quicktime events in Bayonetta make sense, although they are, of course, not that necessary either. They do most of the jumping around and action stuff like that for you most of the time, so it makes me wonder why they ask you to do it for them sometimes. I dunno. They're usually not so bullshit and there's not a lot of them.
I died like 10 times trying to jump of the falling building to the flames. the timing is impossible.Seibei4211 wrote:

I figured out the secret to the quicktime events where you have to press square. Hold the button for a second. Tapping it almost never works, but whenever I hold it, it works fine. I died so many times until I figured that out. Tapping X works fine for those, but for the one on chapter 2 and stuff, holding square works best.
