I marathoned GOW3 on Normal in one day and I admit, ignoring the new stuff because I have nothing to say about them, it's not as hardcore as GOW1 or 2 when you need to over 20 tries just to get past one part.

Or maybe I've become more skilled with age... Hm...

But the game is still great.

By the way, can someone tell me about End of Eternity/Resonance of Fate?

I found both GoW1 and 2 to be pretty easy on Normal, a mild challenge on Hard, and so buttfuckingly difficult on the hardest difficulty that I don't play through it.

What do you want to know about it? I thought it was a pretty excellent game, recently finished my second playthrough of it. It's not really heavy on story, but the characters are awesome, and the gameplay is a bit strategic and is some form of pseudo turnbased. Difficulty curve is pretty steep until you get a hold of the battle system, though.

Hey, it looks like I lucked out on putting disgaea 3 purchase off. Price dropped from $40 new to $20 new. Literally happened like yesterday or a couple days ago, and I was considering buying it, but decided to wait until I finished my Resonance of Fate playthrough. Quite fortuitous indeed!

So since you've played RoF, I have a question that's been stuck with me since the demo.

How the hell do you do ultimates? If I'm not wrong, the one that involves pressing Triangle.

Actually I was talking about the obstacles, where in GoW1 and 2 they were harder to get past. In GoW3 the hardest obstacle was at that turning room with spikes.

They're called Tri-Attacks in the na version. You need to accumulate "resonance points", which are gained by performing hero actions that cross between the other two party members (the anchor line will turn blue when it's set correctly to generate a resonance point). The tri-attack itself is initiated with Triangle then executed with Square. All 3 characters essentially do a simultaneous hero action for only one bezel. It's pretty useful, and with enough resonance points you can easily carve through a room of 7+ enemies

Note that you'll lose stored resonance points by performing anything aside from hero actions that would generate resonance points.

I could go into way more depth if you like, not sure if you just wanted to know how to do them or everything about them.

PS3 version has this feature that lets you save the last 30 seconds of gameplay or record up to 10 minutes with in-game options, then either upload it to Youtube or save it to the hard disk. That is the best kind of feature to have in a free roam game like this.

Edit: The major one is that whole saving the last 30 seconds thing. The funniest crap happens on accident. So if they get that for PC, there'd be no real reason to get the PS3 version.

tl;dr -> Graphically and technically, yeah, sure. It's not really fun though.

Battle system was pretty much working as it should and there weren't any glitches to mention. But the game itself is just, you know, pretty boring. Not a lot of fun. The only good feelings you really get from the game are from when you fight a boss, but you die a few times, then you go and whoop its ass. Doesn't happen often though, and you don't really get that same feeling of conquest when you beat the guy in one try

Most of the game is pretty padded, which is to say chapters 1-10 and 12 didn't need to exist and were terribly boring and the only reason they were there was so the game would have an excuse to shove dozens of cutscenes down your throat. And the story-telling, while better than FFXII, didn't quite perform well in a few aspects. After most cutscenes, your datalog will be updated and it'll have a little recap of what you just saw in the cutscene, and the datalog is much better at describing what just happened than the cutscene did.

I liked the paradigms and pseudo-turn-based combat in FFXIII, but the main problem for me was that enemies were too 1 dimensional. It's like they created a boss skill set and then copy and pasted it with minor tweaks. Bosses also had entirely too much hp in general and, in my opinion, their art designs were boring.

I also didn't like how they literally push you through the game up until gran pulse, where they put you the middle of this giant place with little instruction. I feel as though gran pulse and the mark system would have been acceptable as a break from the story (which really should last at least twice as long as it did), instead of being the actual post-game content. I mean, wtf is the point of getting items from marks? Using them on other marks? The hardest story boss is trivial just by equipping death resist items that you can buy from the shop for little money.

game is pretty and had the potential to be great, but it's shallow and probably was just released to cash in on the final fantasy name

Just beat FFXIII yesterday, took me that long cause I was away for three weeks. The story wasn't outstanding until they turned to Cie'th, I thought I got the bad ending, but they HAD to come back and ruin this twist. Playing the rest of the game with only Vanille and Fang would be quite interesting. As for the battle system, it is not bad by itself, but the "dungeons" were not that good, wish there were more of the tower. The art/design was not boring, but we have already seen it in the paste ~5 FF games
Death Resist? does that really help?

Cherub Crown thing kinda does help, especially if you suck and take forever to beat the guy. I think the story started going downhill after they started using the phrase "fal'Cie smoke and mirrors." Makes me wonder how much of the game was actually "fal'Cie smoke and mirrors."

Fighting isn't actually very fun for me since you can pretty much get by with mashing square a whole lot while jumping over heads and occasionally hitting triangle and then doing a combo takedown whenever you can.
The titan bosses are just shit and they keep bloody appearing.
The Joker was a disappointing end fight.
Ivy's titan plants are just randomly strewn about the place when they appear and while kind of fun to avoid, are just boring to fight.
Ivy's fight just felt badly designed when they add in goons that are pretty much only there to get in your way.
Ivy's ass takes twice as long to load as the rest of her making the loading sequences take longer than they really should every time you die.
Actually most boss fights were pretty shit except for Harley and Killer Croc.
The Riddler's things were fun but some were just too easy.
Knife enemies are just there to make you hit circle occasionally.
The parts with Scarecrow were pretty unwowing especially after everyone hyped them up so much and his battles were the same thing every time. The only good Scarecrow sequence is the part in the hallway.
It would have been nice to have some enemy variation that was something other than "goon with x". The only thing that comes to mind are the insane inmates.
One of the game over voice clips sounds lower quality than the others which just serves to tick me off even more every time I die.

On the plus side, stealth parts are great.
Disarming bombs is kind of tense.

Yeah, he was pretty hyped. I didn't get a chance to read most of the hype since I got the game on day 0 and could get to the part before people blew it out of proportion. It was cool, but not game-changing, groundbreaking cool.

Naw, dude, you can't judge this game by looking at it. When I looked at the trailers and stuff for this game, I was like, whatever. Wasn't interested. But when you play the demo and see how fucking hilarious and awesome the game is, it's like, ooooh yeaaaah. The gameplay is pretty fun though. Like, you don't even have to be a fan of that kind of Diablo stuff cause I've never played a game like that before. All I can say is that this $15 game is four times better than most $60 games I've gotten recently.

No, through the Quick Look I saw enough about how the game is like. Gameplay wise and voice acting(Yes, even knowing that DeathSpank is actually Quark, I mean what?). Thing is Gameplay like that can never keep me playing forever. If it was longer I would buy it, though.

It's not actually Qwark, but it sounds exactly like him. And it's a 15 hour game. That's longer than more $60 games.

I've played Conker, but I was really, really young when I played it, so it was a really hard game and I didn't get very far. Most of the humor was probably lost on me, too, since I didn't understand innuendo.

If there's any game I'll actually pay full price for, it'll be that

but I'll buy it from RosenQueen since they'll also give me a ton of merch to go with it

At any rate, I gave DeathSpank a try, and it is indeed amusing. Not enough Roguelike to it, though. It's one of those one-or-two-playthroughs sort of things.

Most people seem to say Trinity Universe is pretty much Cross Edge without being ridiculously ridiculous (supposedly there were a lot of completely unintuitive true ending requirements, like exiting a dungeon you just entered to trigger an event that would be unavailable after finishing said dungeon) and overall just better.

Plus Etna, I mean come on.

How far did you get into it? I'm in chapter nine I really like it. If you're still in chapter one you should try a little bit more, as it does pick up the pace.

I had two people tell me that it was really, really, really good, and it was only $20, so I got it. But I'm really easy to scare, so I don't know if I could even do that whole game without having some sort of heart attack.

I played it up until about 10 minutes after the first cliché horror scene

Yes I did not give it much of a chance because what chance I did give it failed to inspire or arouse interest

Well that's just you, and if you did find that cliché, then yeah, you probably won't like the rest of the game.

Before my brother sold the PS3, I played through Dead Space. Honestly, shit was not scary, granted they use the same cheap gimmick to scare you over and over again to the point where it ruins any potential atmosphere the game may have. Seeing a corpse get up once was scary, seeing a corpse get up more than once is laughable. Like I said, though, any potential atmosphere is ruined, and that's what horror games live off of: their atmosphere.

If it's dark and there are noises coming from a creature I can't see yet, it's scary enough for me.

reminds me of your remarks on the intro to Bioshock

In that respect, I'm not sure if you'd like Silent Hill 2 or not. It has some of that "I can hear the enemy but can't see it" - in fact, you can pretty much always hear enemies well before seeing them - but SH2's horror is definitely locked in its atmosphere. It's not actually creepy until you think about what's going on.

Silent Hill still has some nightmarish imagery.

From the first encounter of Pyramid Head in 2, raping that other demonic thing to the mirror scene in 3, where multiple looks change the amount of blood and decay in the room. First time looking, there's nothing wrong. Look in the corner, there's a bunch of blood. Look back at the other, more blood and decay. Look in the mirror again, your reflection's skin falls off.

If you can't handle Dead Space then I doubt that you'll be able to handle Silent Hill once it gets inside your head. Hell, I still get nightmares at 3's mirror scene/mannequin scene.

So 3's actually good, huh? I was a couple hours into it, after the first "chapter" so to speak, don't remember where I went from there but I'll probably pick it back up in due time.

3 is right behind 2 in terms of the best in the series. It's definitely tied for my favourite with 2, though, so I'm a little biased.

I still haven't looked enough into Cross Edge; tempted to get the Wii version to demo the game
I'm a Cross Edge player, need any advice?

I bought Trinity Universe as well, and I'll play it when I'm finished with my work, which would be probably a few days later.

Lucius and Etna are so fucking awesome in Trinity Universe. Lucius gets a passive ability that gives him a chance of inflicting random status ailments on enemies during night, which means you just throw out some magic and suddenly the entire enemy party is paralyzed/poisoned/blinded and possibly slept.

Etna just hits fucking hard. Other characters in my party are hitting for 3000-4500 while she's hitting 7200.

People who were hoping it was a good game, like me, think it's a bad game cause it's not that good.

see I know the trick to it:

it's not a sonic game

If I were expecting it to be a Sonic game I'd be sorely disappointed because my expectations would have been let down. So I'm like "This is not a Sonic game. It doesn't even have Robotnik in it."

It just has a fast blue hedgehog named Sonic which has no relation to storyline-free dialog-free chaos-emerald-gathering-in-special-stages super-saiyin-powered Sonic the Hedgehog of Sonic the Hedgehog fame.

What I'm playing is actually Hog of War. And I like it.

Did you know that Robotnik was originally called Eggman in Japan?~

Also, I don't entirely mind Sonic Unleashed.

I compare every Sonic game I play to Sonic Adventure 2. I figure if they could do it back then, why can't they do it now?

So anyway, I'm at chapter 7 of Dead Space now and this game is really getting to me. The first three chapters weren't so scary for me, but the game's gotten pretty good at catching me off-guard recently. It got me really good four times today. Every time I think I know this game's pattern, they change it.

Played the Scott Pilgrim demo. Fun game, very RCR-esque. I'd like to see more level design than "go right, beat guys up" but demos usually only give you the absolute basics. Still, I enjoyed what was there.

I'm bloody hoping this gets localized.
