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)

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.

Battlefield 2 kicked MW2's multiplayer 6 ways to sunday in terms of actual balance. Everyone I know now abuses the fuck out of kill streaks and they get a nuke every other day.

Any semblance on skill was ruined by perks and killstreaks.

Even worse is perks and killstreaks lend the game to be dominated by 2 players while everyone else struggles to keep an even KD.

I got up to this part with a titan and shit tonnes of guys coming down an elevator in Batman.
This shit is stupidly hard, it feels like the worst designed fight they could have made.

* Fill room with baddies
* Put titan in room
* 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

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.
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.
Topic Starter
Seibei4211
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:

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.
Topic Starter
Seibei4211
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.
lukewarmholiday
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.

adam2046
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.
Topic Starter
Seibei4211
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.
Topic Starter
Seibei4211
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.

Battle system is pretty extreme. Almost like an action game in regards to exploits you can use.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1_NTjDAdtk

It's a Tetsuya Nomura game though, so if you like his other games, I imagine you'll like this one. That's what I'm expecting - I expect I'll really enjoy it, solely because of Nomura.

But I'm cheeeeap.

EDIT: ARGH WHAT BATTLE TRANSITIONS whyyyyyy why are you still doing battle transitions Final Fantasy get out of the fucking 90s already
Bestelle
If you're getting it, don't bother with the English version. After hearing that they're apparently replacing the song with "My Hands" by some chick, I was extremely happy. Then I heard the song, it was ear rape. Of course this is just my opinion about that song. Not sure if others will like it.
Otherwise, the game looks great, and I have no problems with the voice overs.
Topic Starter
Seibei4211
That's a pretty good philosophy. If the theme song sucks, don't get it. Who cares about gameplay? That's why Kingdom Hearts was so great. It had a great theme song. But seriously though, I don't think I like the English dub as much as the Japanese one, but whatever. As long as the battles are good.

awp: I think you're thinking of Final Fantasy Versus XIII. He's directing that one. Also, those battle transitions suck a bit. That stuff's gonna add up. Like in FFX, they were so annoying. In FFXII, there were none. I liked that, although it did make the game feel like an MMORPG.

Now those are a lot of exploits and crap that I know I will never ever bother with. Good grief. Although, then again, I have no idea what most of that shit does yet. I know the gambits from FFXII were wtf until I got used to them. So useful.
awp
The one that was in that trailer, with the Seifer clone and that - pretty sure that's Nomura too. I read as much, somewhere. He (Nomura) tends to to that (Seifer -> Beat -> ...Snow, was it? Dude with black toque. They all kinda look similar.)
Topic Starter
Seibei4211
Nomura's an artist in FFXIII, but he's directing FFvsXIII. The guy in that one has that wicked name, Noctis. I can't wait for that one. It's supposed to be like a more mature Kingdom Hearts. I never knew he was the guy that directed TWEWY.

Disgaea is worth twice as much as 70 dollar titles like Prototype and RE5 (though RE5 finally dropped to like 35 dollars) because you get like quadruple the play-time from it. I know I exceeded 200 hours. I didn't even buy the second-storyline DLC. idk I don't like Raspberyl. Though, apparently Flonne gets up to some antics, I imagine it's only for like half a chapter.

Yeah, I tried the rosary out a bit and was surprised at how much damage it does for how easy it is to dodge.

For some reason I've been using the Onyx Roses on both arms and legs all the time now while going through hard. I didn't even use them on my first playthrough really. Damage isn't even all that stellar, but popping up next to an enemy in Witch Time, shotgunning them in the face, and watching them shoot into the air is way satisfying. And Kilgore is so OP I feel dirty using them.

I'll get the saifung today and see how they are.

And I'm getting Disgaea 3 today most likely. I know D3 is packed with replay value, but it's been so long since I've played an action game that was so much fucking fun.
