I think if they had kept the game as Overstrike and not made it serious like it is now, it would have been better. This game's a little harder than I thought it'd be. Like their Normal mode is like most games' Hard mode. You just totally go down like a bitch. Maybe that's so people actually use Dalton's shield and Izzy's healing stuff. Anyway, I like that you get XP for stuff, skill trees are always cool, and being able to switch between characters is really handy so you can play as Naya, then switch to Izzy when someone goes down. Or like, you can have someone hold a sniper so you don't have to give up your shotgun or something. Doing the game by yourself would probably suck because the AI are a bunch of piddling dipshits, but I did half the demo by myself and that was fine. It's satisfying to use Naya's weapon and get a whole chain of dudes to explode. Because this is Insomniac Games we're talking about, I'm gonna have to give them the benefit of the doubt and buy the game.

Well, that sounds good enough for me. I'd been hearing a bunch of mixed things about it.

Yeah, I dunno. It's one of those things that you gotta try it to decide for yourself. It's hard to tell someone whether it's good or not. Just depends on what you like in a game. It's not a game where you can just run through and blast everyone to shit. The one thing I didn't get to try in the demo was Fusion abilities. I know at least one of them lets you be invincible or something. They could prove interesting. Anyway, Naya's stealth is pretty awesome. You can go invisible, move around, shoot people while staying invisible, and once you get a skill point in it, you do extra damage while invisible. And you can keep reapplying invisibility for as long as you have Xenotech ammo or whatever it's called. Her weapon's really fun to use and Izzy's is pretty fun to use, too. I didn't try Dalton or Jacob, but I know what their abilities are.

Penny Arcade's giving away Steam codes for Precipice of Darkness 3. I think awp might be interested in that. Don't know how many codes they have to give away. I'd suggest getting Steam up and running and at the correct window and stuff, then generating the code and putting it in immediately. I got the code, then opened Steam up and stuff, and by the time I put the code in, it had already been redeemed or something. It also took me, like, 5 tries of putting the captcha code in for a code to actually generate. It's weird.

I bought the game for a dollar when it went on sale at Jerry's behest. I don't think it has all the extra content, whatever that is, but I've got the core experience, which is good. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two and, while notably different, the third takes inspiration from Grandia - which, for those not in the know, was one of the best RPG experiences on the Juggernaut of RPGs, the Playstation

The extra content is mostly some skins, the best one being the gender swapping skins, but there's also a mini-prequel thing that bridges episodes 2 and 3, apparently. And it's just a linear thing that doesn't even have a world map and you just do 29 battles in a row or something.

I've been playing Splinter Cell: Blacklist lately. Probably one of the most satisfying stealth games I've played. That game just gives you so many options for how to deal with people. And the best part of that game is the feature where you can get seen, but as long as you kill that guy before he reacts, you're good.

I'll be picking up Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix tomorrow. Been wanting to go back to the first one and I can finally do Chain of Memories.

Grasshopper announced their new game. Lily Begamo or something like that. All I know about it is you play as a female character and it looks Japanese as hell. The art style looks like faux 3D anime.

I also saw some footage of Guilty Gear Xrd. That shit's crazy. It's 3D models, but they move like they do in the 2D versions of the game. I don't even know how they got that to work. Usually when a game goes 3D, it kind of loses the 2D movement, but they somehow recreated that.

Kingdom Hearts all day every day

lots of visual bugs I never noticed before, particularly in the TextureFace cutscenes (characters talking but mouths not moving). Either a bug of the remake or just too hard to notice back when it was STANDARD DEEEEEEE

I've only just beaten Wonderland, but so far I haven't seen a single graphical bug that doesn't seem like it came from the original version. Compared to Deadlocked HD, this game's graphics are perfect. In fact, watch 20 seconds of this. Then you can be glad that Kingdom Hearts ONLY has the bugs that it has.

Ok, in October on PS+, we're getting Kingdoms of Amalur and Shadow of the Colossus. If anyone hasn't played one of these, now's the time. Talk about a heavy hitting month.
awp
heard Amalur was mediocre, but SotC is an incredible game and as far as I know, one-of-a-kind

Amalur is one of my favorite RPGs. It's good if you like action RPGs. It lasts a very long time, has pretty good and customizable combat, and almost never freezes or anything. So I'd rather play that than a Bethesda game with all its freezing and frame rate issues. I don't know where you heard that the game was mediocre, but that's a cynical viewpoint, because this game has a number of really good reviews. I guess this is a game where you have to decide for yourself instead of letting the reviews tell you, because it has a large range of reviews. A general score cannot be agreed upon. Anyway, the damn thing's gonna be free, so it's worth looking at.

Free, or Free for PSN users?

I have somehow taken a liking to speedrunning Kingdom Hearts, which never occurred to me as a game to speedrun. My current objective is Final Rest under 4:30. Then 4, then 3:30. After that I'll be hard pressed to get to Final Rest in under 3 hours but it IS possible

Right now I'm playing MGS4 on Hard for Fox, Hound and Fox Hound emblems. After that, I guess I'll try to get Big Boss emblem too. Can't wait for Phantom Pain.

It's one of the PS+ free games this month. For some reason I thought you had PS+ still. I think at this point, I'm more surprised when people don't have that.

Fox Hound get. Now, I predict a great challenge while going for Big Boss.

Oh my God, I did all of those fucking Gummi Missions. I think I'd rather fight Sephiroth than do some of those again. They are so nerve-wracking.

Anyway, at first I thought your speedrun times were pretty good, and they are, and I was wondering how you did it so fast, but then I remember that I was doing my Speedster playthrough at the same time as my Unchanging Equipment playthrough. Having to use the Kingdom Key and no accessories blows. I'm pretty amazed at how fast a person can get through this game, because it really doesn't feel like something you'd call a 4 hour game.

Kingdom Key is a HUGE gimp, especially in the End of the World.

There's a few things I still need to do for my speedrun. The 4 hour final rest was my first attempt. I'm not 100% sure if Halloween Town is optional or not; I read that you need to do either that or Atlantica and FUCK Atlantica. Gummi ships are a time sink if you don't upgrade your ship, which costs 500 Munny for the Sys level 1 upgrade (required for better engines) and a better engine. I think you can get a Flare gummi from a treasure chest but I don't know which one as of yet

Also, Disgaea D2 came out and is AMAZING and I'm not playing any other games ever for the forseeable future

hands down best Disgaea game it's just so perfect

You need to do a combination of two of either Halloween Town, Atlantica, or Monstro. So obviously everyone just picks Halloween Town and Monstro.
