But MW2's multiplayer is shit if you hold any remote FPS skill at all.

Well, I did MW2 wrong because I played Hardened first. I tried Vet first, but that was waaaay too hard at the time. I thought it'd be fun cause RE5 sure as hell was fun on Veteran. I got MW2 for the Spec Ops. The only way I'll touch MP is if the DLC map pack shit comes with trophies. And even then, I might just say fuck it.
As for Bayonetta, I haven't found a single, tiny bit of slowdown or lag yet. The loading times are there, and some are pretty stupid, like loading the start menu and stuff, but yeah, no lag so far. But I'm only up to chapter 5. I've been thorough, so it's been slow going.

afaik the CoD games are only good in the single player campaignRolled wrote:
Seibei you are doing it wrong.
Nobody bought mw2 for single player.
at least that is the word I have heard from people whose taste in games I have respect for

Maybe the first one, but I'm pretty sure people just play this sequel for the MP. Most of the people I know who have this game don't have a single trophy because they only play MP and that mode has no trophies. Rolled knows what I'm talking about.
Yeah, blue dragon was worse. no issues with gameplay yet (chp 3).lukewarmholiday wrote:
Tell me if the Bayonetta lag is as bad as people say. Loading times I have no issues with.
Well for one, the american release was supposed to be somewhat more tuned than the japanese PS3 release, and people said the noticeable slowdown doesn't hit untill late game like chapter 14. Although, most topics about the lag talk about how noticeable the difference between 30 and 60 fps is.(hardly any other than it looks a little more clean)Atmey wrote:

Also I finally got my PS3 and Valkyria Chronicles and MGS4.
Valkyria Chronicles is fun. Thankfully despite the turn based system, both sides units attack when they see someone running from cover to cover. Probably one of the farthest games you can be from turned based while still being turn based :V
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.

Doesn't that describe, like, any online FPS in existance?
Battlefield 2 kicked MW2's multiplayer 6 ways to sunday in terms of actual balance. Everyone I know now abuses the fuck out of kill streaks and they get a nuke every other day.Seibei4211 wrote:

Any semblance on skill was ruined by perks and killstreaks.
Even worse is perks and killstreaks lend the game to be dominated by 2 players while everyone else struggles to keep an even KD.

I was talking about the part where it's like, "You don't know the map until you play it" and knowing it helps you win and stuff. But yeah, that stuff's pretty bullshit, too.
This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.
if it was the SSB of army shooters wouldn't it at least be fun
I got up to this part with a titan and shit tonnes of guys coming down an elevator in Batman.
This shit is stupidly hard, it feels like the worst designed fight they could have made.
* Fill room with baddies
* Put titan in room
* Make room so small that throwing a batarang and dodging a titan while fighting shit tonnes of goons becomes frustratingly hard
* Throw more baddies in

Yeah but it can also be annoying as fuck. It's fun in its own regard but don't think you're skilled because you can whore killstreak bonuses.awp wrote:

Yeah.
I'm gonna play CoD4 or something until I feel like trying that shit again.

You just gotta chicken shit it, bro. Evade/counter like the wind and let that titan take them out until you can get on top of him and wipe out most of the opposition.

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.Seibei4211 wrote:

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.
Topic Starter
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?

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:Rolled wrote:

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.

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 died like 10 times trying to jump of the falling building to the flames. the timing is impossible.Seibei4211 wrote:

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.

I'm not sure what reviewer isn't going to say "Best thing ever. 10/10, 5/5." whether it's actually that good or not.
