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.

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?

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.
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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.)

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.

did you stay away from TWEWY entirely? It was blisteringly apparent from the game box alone, but it also tells you it's a Tetsuya Nomura game about 4 minutes in.

Well, I did think that the main dude looked a lot like Sora, but I thought it was just a coincidence. Other than knowing the basic gist of the battle system and seeing the box art, I did stay away from it entirely.

Man, Bayonetta is some fun shit. Beat it on normal, playing through hard/unlocking other shit/just fighting motherfuckers, now.

My index and middle fingers are in serious pain from all the dodging and shit though. The parry/counter bracelet is awesome.

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.

I know, man. Good shit. Moon of Mahaa whatever's pretty cool. Have you tried Evil Rosary yet? Pretty fun on Hard/Non-Stop. You should get the Saifung, dude. Fucking gunchucks, bro. They're kinda lame, but, you know, GUNCHUCKS.

I had tons of fun with Disgaea 3 as well. And I don't even give a shit about getting all the trophies. That game is sweet as hell.

I'm hoping White Knight Chronicles is rad (for something to do until final fantasy 13)

p.s. dark void sucked
p.s.s. darksiders was pretty fun

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.

Saifung's hella weak, but she does the Bruce Lee yell, so it's awesome. There's also, like, no combos for it. Have you tried doing the Kilgore Combo? THAT is ridiculous, but so funny.

PSN-Kurounlimited/Xiaounlimited

You can add both of them since I switch acc. when I play HSG:OOB (Kuro is a G2, Xiao is a G1) but I will be rarely on untill Dark Cloud 3 will be announced for the PS3 and will be released for it.

Also I only have Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds and Wangan Midnight (Think I spelled it wrong...) for my PS3

I bodyblocked selvaria with the eidelweiss. Got an A rank. My 3 lancers and an engineer never left the top trenches and my tank took out everyone who came with selvaria.

4 lancers, spawned one lancer at the lower left camp and had him wreck the walls then had him help take down the tank.

Difficulties in an RPG are okay so long as they don't make you unlock them. Given that the learning curve in RPGs tends to be much lower than in other games, someone who catches on quick is probably safe to step up the difficulty early on.

well It seems Valkyria Chronicles doesnt seem to have any more bullshit hard missions.... OH FUCK WHAT WHY 2 BOSS STRENGTH TANKS. OH GODDAMNIT WHY DO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR UNITS RESPAWN AT THE END OF THE TURN.

I'm going to see if I can plant a lancer behind where the south tank spawns screw this.

Yeah, it might be fine if you could just skip to the hardest one and get it over with, but there's two extra difficulties in SO4 and you have to unlock them both. 3 playthroughs minimum if you wanna beat the hardest.

Skip cutscenes. It's really not that bad. I beat Star Ocean 3 four times or so, everything goes by pretty quick once you skip all the dialogue and know what you're doing.

Maybe you're not hardcore enough?!

I haven't even beaten SO3 once. I doubt I'm even a fifth of the way done. I think I left off around level 20 something. So yeah, I'm not hardcore with Star Ocean.

So, I've put 180 hours into WKC.

I think this was a good buy.

That RE5 DLC was hecka sweet. They don't let you use your earned guns and definitely no rocket launcher, so you're stuck with what very, very little they give you. And on Pro, they throw even more guys at you and it's just impossible to kill them all. Which is unsarcastically awesome. Got gangbanged so many times. It was hella scarier than the main game, too. They finally got some survival and some horror parts right in their "survival horror" game.

It's only $5, man. It was totally worth it. The next one should be good, too.

I finally got to play Prototype, it's pretty sweet but it's annoying having to hold R2 all the time when traveling.

Then you're not gonna like Heavy Rain. At least you can still walk when you're not holding R2 in Prototype.
Yeah, I played the demo and I wasn't the biggest fan of all the "Push Button to do Simple Task" commands. And for some reason the frame rate was messed up for me and the characters models were flashing in and out.

Oh man, I had a pretty hilarious glitch with the hooker. You know how when you first walk in, she's at her nightstand setting the alarm or whatever? Well, I don't know what I did, but for the entire time after that, whenever she'd try to move into position for a cutscene, she'd fly back to the nightstand after a couple of seconds. She just went back and forth like that the entire time until I was the FBI dude.

Nice day for the PS3. Borderlands and Uncharted 2 for DLC and Darksiders and God of War III for demos. Lots of fucking gigs.

I should have had the GoW3 demo last month but my GoW Collection disc (which incidentally is missing THE THIRD GOD OF WAR GAME hi PSP is a real system too) was like invalid coupon since you bought this game used and I was like oh idc

I want to buy GoW3 but I just know it's going to launch at 60 or 70 dollars so I won't get to play it for a while since I'm cheap. Even with income, I'm not paying 70 for a game, even though it's a great game.

Oh man, if you were US, you could've potentially gotten it for $20. I was thinking about doing that for FFXIII, but I don't have two newish console games that I wanna give them.
