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 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.
Just got the new Army of 2 because my friend and I played the hell out of the first one. If you've got someone to play with its pretty good.

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.

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.)
Topic Starter
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.

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.

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.Ivalset wrote:

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.
