Yeah, I've been playing LBP2 today. Pretty fun stuff. There's quite a bit different from LBP1. Although it's way too hard to just simply find a list of all of your friends in-game.
Edit: Holy shit, Clive Handforth is fucking awesome.

I got LBP2 and I think it's much improved on the first. They added so much stuff, both in the story and for users to use, it just overall has a better feel. My only gripe is that I can't import my stuff from the first game as the file was copied off of a different PS3 since we had to replace it.

Just got my hands on 3D Dot Game Heroes and White Knight Chronicles, 'cause they were cheap and I wanted to try them out. Well, time to see how they are.

WKC's story mode is absolutely shitty, but the online is honestly pretty fun if you get into it. Additionally, most of the issues with the first game are fixed in the second (most notably action ring speed, amongst a pile of other changes).
I can help you out in online and give you general tips and other shit. It's a surprisingly complex game and it's pretty easy to drop 350+ hours into it.

You pretty much need to play it with a friend for it to be really fun.
I remember dragging Skipper's lazy corpse through the water levels in LBP. That was good times.
Finally had the chance to play Scott Pilgrim VS The Game the other day when CheeseWarlock was in the area. That game is an absolute blast, however buggy it may be. I'll just jump off the top of the subway car and...woops I'll just slide back on.
Got the FF13 plat yesterday. Apart from the Equipment trophy, it was actually a bit fun. The Equipment trophy was very gay though.

Equipment trophy sucks. But at least you get a Fang theme for it. Fuck yeah, Fang.
I unlocked the Sazh theme first which was good because Sazh is the best character in the whole game. Assuming his fro-chicobo doesn't count as a character, that puts Fang at second

The next Double Fine game, Stacking, is coming out on Tuesday. Can't wait for that. Definitely looks a little better than Costume Quest. Oh, and if you guys haven't seen it yet, you have to watch this.
You can actually download that game for free, too. For the PC. And you'll never need to get another PC FPS again.

I thought the demo was alright, I'll grab it if it's on Steam or something. If for no other reason, because the advertising campaign was so damn awesome.

I lol'd. And yes, I will get it, however, on 360 as all my multi-console games go on there cause I know more people on Xbox live. I still think the PS3 is superior and has much better exclusives though.
at the risk of igniting a flame war based on my limited experiences the 360 seems better from a performance standpoint; load times for disc games are a lot shorter in some cases and the dashboard features are more robust and plentifulrust45 wrote:

it's a pity I find the PS OS more intuitive because the 360 Dashboard has awesome features like game-unspecific voice chat
as for Bulletstorm I think I'll be getting it for PC since PC has a mouse and keyboard control scheme

Yeah, the exclusives really are kinda better on the PS3, huh? Ratchet, Resistance, The Last Guardian, Uncharted, LBP, that Katamari game, Final Fantasy vs. XIII, inFamous, Flower/Journey, and Metal Gear. Also, if it ever comes out, Kingdom Hearts.
There's really just three things I don't like with the 360: the controller is so weird, large games come on multiple discs, and you gotta pay for Xbox Live. I sure do like that cross-game chat though.

I personally dislike the way the Xbox dashboard works as I find it laggy, unresponsive, and kinda confusing, hard to find what you want. The PSN store is much better then the market place in that it just straight up tells you how much money you pay, and I can find what I want with ease.
Disregarding that though, another plus to Xbox is that my brother and I can be signed in at the same time.
Also Seibei, you forgot about Valkyria Chronicles, granted the series moved to PSP, but the first one was still an all time great.

As much as I like the feel of the controller I hate that the face buttons are like the SNES buttons but mixed up; X is Y, Y is X, A is B and B is ASeibei4211 wrote:

I grew up with a SNES controller, changing everything around is a dick move. My biggest gripe with the 360 controller is literally in how they name their buttons. LB, LT is another thing I haven't gotten used to.
I have been playing Costume Quest and I'm actually surprised by how difficult the game is if you don't abuse stun tactics. I've been in fights where victory hinges on what order the enemies attack the allies in. I have about a 98% success rate with input commands, which oughta be enough, but it isn't.
The adult humour in the game really caught me off guard. Because it's designed to look like a kids game I was expecting it to be just a light-hearted kiddy jrpg but Double Fine seemed determined to cram as many innuendos and double-entendres as they could. Even some of the overt stuff is taboo; not a lot of games threaten to kill a five year old child in his sleep.
I'm not sure if the DLC expansion is worth the money, though. The game by its own admission seems awfully short; I started playing it yesterday and I'm in the third area, which based on the quest log appears to be the last area. By extension the Expansion pack is about 33% of the length of the original game, but I dropped about 7.50 on it and the expansion is 5. By full price that seems like a 1:1 value per play ratio, but the game does not feel like it is worth 15 dollars. 7.50, sure, but not 15.
Deathspank 2 may have been worth the 15 I didn't pay for it. That game's awfully long for a downloaded title.

You just gotta use the right battle stamps and the right costumes. And the Jack O' Lantern costume has the best special attack once you get it, but he's gotta attack first to do the best damage. Then you follow with a Missile Barrage and kill everybody. And the DLC isn't really that short. It's split up into about three areas, I think. There's only one boss in it though, but you get some new Battle Stamps, a new bag (which glitches like a bitch, actually), and some decent new costumes. The last boss in that DLC seriously almost whooped my ass though. He wasn't messing around.
The final boss of the Costume Quest DLC was kinda an unexpected difficulty spike, it took me a few tries to beat it.
It is very possible to beat the entire game without using stun tactics, though, but I ended up using stun tactics in the DLC to put the game on e-z modo. In the standard game, I didn't.

The DLC was really short. Like, an hour. In all honesty, I don't think it was worth the money, but I didn't like that my completion wasn't 100%.
The last boss ruined me the first time (AOE that hits for 900 is a bit unreasonable) but then I flipped a couple battle stamps around (stun is useless) changed a costume and didn't even break a sweat the second time around. It was actually disappointingly easy.

Damn. I paid full price for those things ages ago. Cool games. Kinda hard to 100% the first one though.

Yeah. It really sucked for it to end on a cliffhanger like that. But then again, I don't know if I could take anymore punishment. Those last bosses don't really fuck around. Especially in the first game.
Anyway, I got Bulletstorm and de Blob 2 today. While I do like Bulletstorm, I've had an awfully hard time playing it cause I just get this urge to play de Blob 2 instead. There's just something about collecting random shit...

If you use Attack Down items his attacks do 1 damage. I actually found him very easy. Also, when spamming Hot Toddys etc throw an Attack up on Gabe. He's fast enough that he can do a standard attack for every Hot Toddy that You and Tycho throw, so you can drop him down to like 20k HP before the battle even actually starts.Seibei4211 wrote:

It's been 2 1/2 years since I played that game. I have no fucking idea what you're even talking about anymore. I just remember that I didn't like getting the trophy for beating that boss without using healing items.
Oh, I got that on my second try. First time was poorly managed and I had to use healing items to prevent Tycho from dying, but the No-Heal trophy is actually pretty easy.
I'm not 100% sure you can get the "use all combat items" trophy against the last boss. It wouldn't pop for me, but it's possible I never used the 100% heal item. I also thought the trophy only referred to the items that damaged, and I had to create a new file and play up to the evil gate just outside French- Mime-Kthulu to get dynamite.
I'm now plugging away at the second episode and it seems to be more fun than the first one. It's also nice that they solved a few design issues that Episode One suffered from.

Bulletstooooorm! Lemme just say, guys, the demo for Bulletstorm absolutely did not do the game any justice. It's like how the Dead Space 1 demo was completely off-target. It doesn't capture the game at all. And it doesn't even have any good weapons in the demo.
I'm keen to get Bulletstorm - Painkiller was a blast, and Bulletstorm's ad campaign was so good they deserve the sale even if the game is mediocre. But it's like, 60 bux on steam right now. I'll wait until it falls to 30 or something. It's not like the game will get worse over time.

Just picked up 3D Dot Game Heroes yesterday and I'm gonna be taking it back at my earliest convenience because fuck that game. I just spent an hour trying to figure my way back through the bullshit sand maze puzzle shit, then I get killed by a blue dragon 2 feet away from where I was trying to go. Then of course my last spawn point was on the other side of the fucking world. Ridiculous.
Don't judge a game because of your inability to plan ahead. Sleeping bags can create a spawn point wherever you use them, and if your spawn point was on the other side of the world, you didn't spend the night at the desert inn right before the maze, which is easy to navigate if you go by the cacti positioning. An NPC even tells you how to go through it.Seibei4211 wrote:

Hell, even then, you could just use a Wind Wing, which most standard merchants sell, to get back to where you were. Blue dragons are random spawn, anyway, you were just a victim of bad luck.
I personally love the game, even if it gets a bit ridiculous at points. Nothing is really handed to you, it feels like classic Zelda in all the right ways.
Also, I've got MvC3, but I might return it to Gamefly once I have enough money to actually buy it. I would be more into it right now if I had the time to play it. The next game I'll get Gamefly to send me might be Bulletstorm, but we'll see.
Really, I heard 3D Dot Game Heroes didn't live up to its expectations. I'm not one to give a flying duck about someone else's opinions, but my brother's a pretty good judge of what I might like. Mind you, it's only a matter of time before that game winds up on the 10 dollar rack in the local pawn shop.

I didn't want to use a sleeping bag next to the desert because that would've defeated the purpose. I used one in front of the next temple that I accidentally found so I could kill myself after I had progressed the story. I left the desert temple to begin with cause that was my stopping point one day, then I forgot what I was doing in the morning and left it before realizing I wasn't done there. So that's why I was trying to get back in the first place. And I can't use a Wind Wing to get back to a temple, I could've only gone back to the inn, which meant I'd have to do the fucking sand puzzle shit again, which wasn't gonna happen. And I can't be pissed to talk to every single NPC to see if they finally have something useful to tell me. And I didn't decide the game sucked just because I got hit with that bullshit dragon, I just wasn't having any fun at all the whole time I was playing it. It's really annoying how you lose all of your sword's power just because you lost half a heart from some cheap shot from some off-screen enemy or whatever. I really loved the 2D Zelda games. The only thing this game didn't copy from Zelda was the fun.Mogsworth wrote:

Beat Hyperdimension Neptunia yesterday and I must say, ending was unexpected. It left quite a lot unanswered too which doesn't help. I didn't really want it to end either. =( Now I'm rolling through everything on new game+ (the story dungeons to be exact). There was more dialogue than gameplay which was fine for me on the first playthrough but now it's just a huge burden as I go through it again. Overall, this game seems pretty easy to plat, got 73% before finishing. The rest of the trophies don't look too bad to get (unlike Trinity Universe's). Anyways, the gameplay is fine even though the game does slow down considerably fps-wise during most battles. But a major flaw in the game that I had was the "auto" button during dialogues. It didn't proceed naturally like it was suppose to. It would literally sit there for 10+ seconds before going onto the next dialogue. So doing the standard 'X' button to proceed was the only other way. (There was the skip button but I'd miss out on the story!). English voices aren't bad at all either!
(Random): I realized that Neptune was pantless after the third day of playing.

I've heard so much awful shit about that game that I can't bring myself to play it.
Then again, I'm playing dragon age 2, so it turns out I'm not so good at that avoiding shitty games thing. I guess it's more of a quota deal.

Shame too, because when I first heard about the game I thought it'd be brilliant.
Just got Ar tonelico Qoga today. Planning on playing it tonight. I'm particularly interested in the hymns and the device located at the bottom of the screen during combat. Anyone else planning on getting it / got it? Nevermind, I know you guys don't have it, lol.
I've considered getting it, but I hear it's just a real letdown compared to 2.
I'll probably end up grabbing it when it drops in price a bit.
Also the sexualism has gone so far off the deep end that I'll be embarrassed to pick it up in a store, so I'll probably order it online.

Ah, I wouldn't know about the other games since this is the first one I've played.
It was a real eye opener when I first saw three layers of clothes just started disappearing off the girls.
I mean, I did watch a few gameplay battles on youtube but watching them right up in my face was a different experience.
They had only one copy at my local gamestop. The dumb thing was that it wasn't in shrink wrap so the box wasn't really in mint condition when I got it.

The second one is a pretty damn good game, though it is a ps2 game. I'd definitely recommend picking it up. It's a little easy, especially later in the game, but still fun.

Crysis 2, motherfuckers!
I don't want to wait for Mortal Kombat anymore. I never paid attention to the franchise but I was blown away by the demo. I really like the characters, the stages and the tag team mode. Might take a while though because I have to import it (well, it's cheaper anyway). It's illegal when you import it in Australia, that's even worse than Germany.

You've only got two different games? Bummer. I'm surprised you don't have Homefront.
Anyway, I've gone through about half of Crysis 2 so far, and what a sweet game. If you don't care about MP, the game is fucking fun.

I'm actually tempted. I dislike fighting games and never gave a damn about the Mortal Kombat series but in all fairness the game is so silly and fun. I'm sure as hell not going to fork over 60 bux for it, but if I find it in a pawn shop for 15 dollars I will in all likelihood pick it up. Also, since it's a simple, accessible, non-hardcore game, I'll actually be able to play it with friends.Nharox wrote:

No AHP for me, fucking wired connections. As if I even had time to troll the interwebs with my thunder barrett combos.
My laptop connects wirelessly to my router, which is like in the basement while i'm on the second floor. So I just run an ethernet cord from my laptop to my ps3 and bridge the wired connection with my wireless connection.

Nah, only two. Apparently the first one is technically Dissidia 013. It's pretty retarded but it is what it is.

Just bought Hyperdimension Neptunia on an influenced whim and must say it's pretty amusing. From what I gather it's a game based on the console war where there are many console anthropomorphisms (in the form of anime-girls, of course) and several game/game-based shout outs and references. I only got around to playing (admittedly reading/watching for the first 15 mins) for around 30 minutes but got to see the basics of the gameplay. It seems to play out like an action-RPG-visual novel with the battle system being a combo based TBS.
So far it hasn't disappointed, I'm wondering if anyone else has had a look at it.

Anon is stepping into the Sony vs GeoHot lawsuit. This is probably going to inconvenience PS3 users for a little bit (I'm not sure what impacts it will have on PSN) but hopefully by the end of it Sony will stop being such a ludicrous despot in the whole ordeal.
As far as I'm concerned, they're free to ban users from the PSN if they're playing pirated games but everything else has been a big middle finger to moving the platform forward so far. Hopefully this will fill the grave Sony's digging before it gets too deep.

If that happens I hope Sony will let those users still use PSN.
I mean on OFW they'd most likely be playing legit games and would have the opportunity to continue paying for Sony's service.
I mean, you can't even pirate most PSN games and DLC. Sony would just lose sales cutting these people off.
The only reason to ban hackers is to scare people from hacking, but only people really looking for that will be able to hack since you can only hack 3.55 and under right now, so there's not much to scare other than people who don't care about PSN.
Only people I think should be banned is cheaters. And only from the specific games they cheat in. Sony is wasting their money and cutting off profits. Nice move.

I hope you stay banned forever, Pokebis.

This is awesome. Fucking great. It's pretty awesome that the legit users get to suffer just because there are assholes using their system. And now those fucking Anonymous guys are getting involved? Things just keep getting better.
I think that actually is a point in our favour (I'm reading sarcasm in this). Once the PS3 was hacked Sony went trigger happy. I did some reading from some of the hacker groups, and there is/was a program that you could run which would spoof your PS3 serial number. If you knew the serial number of someone else's PS3 and got caught cheating while running that spoofer, you could get someone else banned rather than yourself. So basically, assuming this was true, Sony wasn't trying off the bat to solve the problem but to put a bandage over it. And the bandage is made of asbestos.Seibei4211 wrote:

What they're currently doing vs what they were doing before security was breached is far worse. According to the PS3 EULA, Sony has the right, if they deem necessary (read: if they feel like it) to push silent updates to the console without any user input/consent (the consent was in the EULA). This in itself does not appear to be a problem since the silent updates are done in a non-intrusive way, however, if something goes wrong in an update (such as power failure) there's a risk of bricking the system. So apparently, Sony can accidentally brick your system if you leave it connected. And I'm pretty sure it's also written that they take no responsibility/liability if that happens, so you're out to sea.
So it has gotten to the point where a bit of (very) bad luck could mean the equivalent of a RROD, but Anon's involvement may resolve some of the unethical practices Sony's doing right now.
On the other hand, if failed updates don't harm the system, I'm more-so okay with it. I doubt this is the case (and Sony themselves warn that the system might not power up if it is abruptly shut off during an update).
I don't see what's so difficult about a failsafe. A failed firmware update should not brick any system. The BIOS should be smart enough to check for errors and restore a backup that is on permanent storage to protect against something like that.
You can fuck your PC up, but you can't brick it. The same should apply to all current and future technology

In the case of the hackers that's like saying it's pirate's fault DRM is in games. Sure they put it in games to help prevent piracy (you'd be stupid if you think it actually does), but the fact of the matter is pirates will circumvent these systems nearly immediately and only the end user (legit) suffers. This is over-optimistic implementations from corporations that do anything but help their sales. Pirates are not the ones implementing it, however.Seibei4211 wrote:

Sony, as a corporation, made choices to implement their own systems, hackers pushed nothing onto you. And lots of hackers aren't "assholes" many are acting upon broken promises from Sony (Other-OS support), seeking of information (finding out how the PS3 ticks), and some just want to stick-it-to-the-man (which happens to be Sony).
I don't blame Sony for trying to protect their IPs, but they've been doing it very, very wrong. But it's them doing it wrong, not the hackers.
Of course the Anonymous attacks are indeed assholery. Can't really argue that and feel bad for you there.

Just got a pile of games. Darksiders, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and Swarm. I'll probably get Spare Parts soon, too. Also, I got Sonic Colors, but whatever. That's the only one I've played so far.
Darksiders is pretty good.
I didn't know Colors was on the PS3.

Uh, it's not. That's why I tacked it on at the end there. I got it for the Wii. Anyway, I beat Swarm today. Kind of a demanding game sometimes. Like you have to be perfect during some levels and during the bosses just to simply beat the game. But there's only 10 levels and 2 bosses, so it's not too bad. Wasn't really worth the $15 though.

So I just got done with Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. I have to say that I was thoroughly surprised. I thought for sure it'd be a generic, mediocre game with little creativity, but God damn, it was actually pretty decent. It's miles better than that 2008 Prince of Persia ever was. It's got some of the best platforming I've seen in a while. I wouldn't have paid $60 for it, but it's worth the $18 I spent on it.
Also, Spare Parts was halfway decent for a $10 PSN game.

I pre-ordered Portal 2 for PS3 yesterday, and I'm picking it up tomorrow. What, an FPS for the PS3, when it's also available for the PC?
Seems retarded, but I only did so because the PS3 version comes with the PC version. So I can play local co-op until my friend gets himself a copy of it and we can play on PC.

Yeah, the PS3 version rocks like that. I know another guy who's doing the same thing you're doing. I would get Portal 2 today, but I'm still broke from all of the other games I've been getting and I'm still only halfway through Darksiders right now. This game is pretty friggin' decent, too, by the way.
My PSN is exactly the same as my username here.
The games I own are:
Marvel VS Capcom 3
Transformers: War For Cybertron
Final Fantasy XIII
Mortal Kombat
I don't play games online unless they have co-op features. I became tired of playing against people who only know how to cheat in order to win.

My copy of Mortal Kombat despatched yesterday. Can't wait to get my hands on it, no idea who I should main though. The huge amount of content makes me want to sell MvC3. 
Looks like online's been down since yesterday. A PSN blog said it will take a day or two before it's fixed.
If Anonomous is attacking again, I wonder if this will become a common occurence?

They're doing their best not to affect the PSN, I think this is maintenance or a big mistake or something.

I feel bad for all the Portal 2 co-op users right now. I need to convince a friend to get this game cause co-op sounds pretty fun.
Platted Ar tonelico Qoga a few days ago.
It's nice to get away from all the turn-based games I've been playing.
The game has kept me excited for 96 hours before I had to wait 4 more to get the last 100 hour trophy.
If I had RL friends to play with, I'd get Mortal Kombat. Other than that, not interested. Lol, online pass for 10 dollars?
Haven't really been interested in the Portal series since I'm not a particular fan of Valve. I'd like to give Portal 2 a try when I get it some day.
Going to get Arcana Heart 3 when the PSN goes back online.
