I'm BAD at video games. I beat every GTA since 3, besides the PSP games.
I've finished GTAIII, Vice City, San Andreas, Vice City Stories, Liberty City Stories, and GTAIV.
I've never played any of the GTA games except for 1 and 2 on the PS1.
I just felt like saying that since it makes me feel like such a radical or something.8-)

Relax, manthing. Why bring the anger over such a petty thing?
Just saying GTA has always had a few un-fun missions that really hurt the game's pacing.
I've put like 50 hours into each other main GTA and finished none of them because I'd had enough.

Sounds like they used Digital Eclipse's emulation then for the new collection. Any idea if they used DE's emulation for the PS2/PSP genesis collection? I'm pretty sure they didn't for the Sonic Collection on the GCN/Xbox/PS2.

I personally hated the bikes, because I couldn't steer them for shit. Another thing I hated was the increase of the chase missions near the end of the game. Other than that, I thought GTAIV was pretty good. I'm interested in the DLC, but not greatly.
Played some LBP today, but didn't progress through story at all, which is something I should do. I haven't played it for about a month and a half, and I'm only getting to the Savannah.

02-08-2009, 04:52 AM
I found the cars to be fine, the Patriot/Hummer was my vehicle of choice throughout the game, wasn't worth it to sacrifice the armor for speed (and the Patriot isn't even that slow to begin with)
Bikes i feel like you fall off with even weaker collisions than you did in the previous games, which is a problem especially since the traffic volume is much larger, and small impacts are more likely. It especially sucked (but was hilarious) when a garbage truck swerved into me on one of the bridges and I had Brucie on the back of the bike, Niko fell to the ground, but Brucie got launched over the edge of the bridge.
I found myself using the cab to get to and from destinations during missions more than anything else however. I probably saved myself about 3 hours over the course of the game just from not traveling the distance manually every time.

I dug the vehicle physics as well. The cars seemed to have weight to them. And you could tell that if you were taking a turn too fast for what you were driving that momentum was moving the back end of the vehicle.

GGT!
All this chat about GTAIV has reminded me I'm one of those who never beat the game. I didn't even unlock the last island. But I did like the driving physics, but not-so-much the motorcycles. They were okay, but I feel that they could have been better.
Well, going back to watching Last Exile. That animation is DOPE.
BlueScrote
02-08-2009, 12:36 PM
The motorcycles are a huge pain to drive in GTA4. I also never finished GTAIV, I stopped after the bank mission (you know what one I'm talking about, if you've done it) because it was just an exercise in frustration, although I did eventually beat it. I am being told that that was the hardest mission in the game though.

That was a great show. A lot of people weren't big on the ending, but I thought it fit pretty well.
Samurai 7 on Blu Ray is out soon! So excited, I pre-ordered pretty much right when it was announced. Since I sold my original boxset for $50, it'll only cost about $25.
Gonna start Top Spin 2 today, because I miss tennis games. I got it for $5 too, which was exciting.

Pros of disc: saleable, negotiable price
Pros of PSN: you're gonna spend 2 hours downloading updates if you buy the disc anyway, so this cuts out the "going to the store or waiting for someone to ship" middleman.
Finished GTAIV last night. I'm in the 10% club; and, by "10% club," I mean, "among those people who finished GTAIV who aren't really a known percentage, but some knucklehead decided to apply an arbitrary number to a category of people they know nothing about" club.
But the former fits on a trophy better, I s'pose.
Oh, and GTAIV's story isn't that good. It has depth and promise, but it *really* exposes how sandbox gameplay and a compelling narrative don't work well.
I played straight through the main missions without doing any side stuffs, so I didn't give a shit when Kate died, because she was just a character I saw in cutscenes and never dated.

PSP (heh) is exactly like PSU, except the portable version is more streamlined when it comes to traveling around when you aren't in missions. I thought that was an amazing idea, since I got tired of trying to find a particular store in PSU, and walking around a huge several story mall area tended to get time-consuming.
The whip weapons are amazing, I must say. I remember when they were first announced, I couldn't stop making fun of the way they looked. After using them though, I almost don't want to use anything else.

Gameplay-wise, it's exactly the same. As Beef said, the travel parts and some other things are streamlined for handhled constraints. In that respect, it may actually be better than PSU, depending on your preference. :p
I'm leaning more towards the DS version at this point, but I'm sure I'll pick up the PSP version whenever it hits that magic $20 or less price.

RelentlessRolento

I think the PSP and DS versions will differ greatly since they are both based off different gameplay systems. They are also both completely different anyway :lol:
I'll be getting both so I don't mind.
also, the $39.99 price seems steep, but seeing how I paid that much for Monster Hunter F2, and have gotten over 175 hours on it, it's a good price.

Gunswords! Also, they are adding a new blunt weapon type, shields. Naturally, it's a different engine due to the hardware limitations, but still 3D. Story seems to be a "prequel" type so the characters have a younger appearance by a different artist. Of course, they are also going to take advantage of the DS touch screens with Pictochat communication.

Got in a bit of gaming this afternoon.
My buddy and I finished off the RE5 demo, finally got buy the chainsaw guy on our first try today after dying 10+ times last night. I hate the way the did the local split screen. I'd rather it not keep a 16x9 ration (ala gears) rather than have small, staggered 16x9 screens. But the game is pretty fun with a friend once you get used to the controls, and I imagine we'll grab it and play through in co-op.
Also tried the Halo Wars demo. I'm not an RTS fan, but it seemed like it would be enjoyable for fans of the genre (downloaded it for my friend/roommate who loves RTS).
Finally played an hour or so of The Shivering Isles and got two or three achievements. Think I'm just going to push through the main story and stop worrying about doing the random sidequests. 75 hours in and I've loved it, but it's time to beat it, get all the achievements and move on to something else.

Last Exile was a pretty good show. Pacing was kinda off at points. The second half of the show gets really good but feels really rushed near the end.
What're the differences between the DS/PSP versions? I haven't really looked into it that much, aside from one gameplay video of the DS version (which didn't look too shabby).
Phantasy Star Portable is a continuation/sequel of Phantasy Star Universe for the PSP.
Phantasy Star Zero is a prequel to Phantasy Star Online.
Considering that both Universe and Online aren't all too different if you like one you'll probably like the other. Whether you like one more than the other mostly comes down to finer gameplay differences between the two series , as well as which "world" you like better.
I'm sure my explanation of the differences between the two didn't help you one bit either.:lol:

I didn't try the knife, but I tried probably all of the other weapons. What you should be getting from shooting an enemy is the sensation that you're really fuckin' that dude up. Like, you want the bullet to just rip through them, or to at least make them recoil. I'm not saying it has to be ultraviolent, but it's gotta give you a bit more of a feeling of being a badass.
The knife does sound interesting, and I appreciate the game's attempts to throw in some smaller details that do add to the experience, but I just feel like the core mechanics are pretty ghetto.

Helgast need some sort of chemicals at there bases? :-s
And I just said this in the Killzone thread but I'll repeat it here. Why the hell would anyone leave huge barrels right next to turrets or strewn all over a warehouse. 99.9% of companies would at least put flammable or biohazardous materials in a safe room instead of just any old place.
Is it fun to shoot the barrels and make them explode right next to bad guys? Sure. But haven't we been using them for a decade now?
EDIT -- E4 plays you Preston. Just give in.

Now we can do it with teh amazing next-gen effects! The red barrel will never disappear as long as we can add more effects to the explosion or even show damaged barrel pieces in some cases!
As long as it's fun, I don't really care.

Since the aiming reticule takes 10 minutes to get to an enemy due to awful control lag, it's easier to shoot a barrel to set off a chain reaction to kill an enemy.

I didn't try the knife, but I tried probably all of the other weapons. What you should be getting from shooting an enemy is the sensation that you're really fuckin' that dude up. Like, you want the bullet to just rip through them, or to at least make them recoil. I'm not saying it has to be ultraviolent, but it's gotta give you a bit more of a feeling of being a badass.
The knife does sound interesting, and I appreciate the game's attempts to throw in some smaller details that do add to the experience, but I just feel like the core mechanics are pretty ghetto.
Nah you're just biased. KZ2 is everyone's favorite FPS. If you don't think so you're wrong.
Reading SRK's chun and strategy thread makes my head hurt.

This weekend... hmm.... I played Beatmania and some 3s, oddly enough. Game feels sooooo different from Remix.

They took everything that was good from the first one and threw it out the window and gave me a floatly, slow, laggy, glitch-feast version and tried to rip off Halo 3's matchmaking. Least it was fun for the time i played with CAGs (mostly with js1)...though me and Chac never finished our futa convo, some jackasses kept interupting us

Turn up the sensitivity, if you did, then I have no idea what you're talking about. I was popping helmets and heads like no tomorrow.
If you turn up the sensitivity, shit gets all kinds of fucked up. The game has shitty controls. and it sucks and it won't sell many copies. also, it's a halo rip off. I hope it breaks your PS3. I hope it breaks everybody's PS3. Especially

nah, but really, adjusting the sensitivity didn't help me in the 5 or so times I played the demo. Going from mouse control to this has been rough for me. There's an accelerating effect on the reticule that makes it more difficult to aim for me.

I can see what they were going for with making the gun take like half a second to start moving when you turn, but if they want to give it a sense of weight, why not have the gun swing a little to the side when you're done turning rather than make it look like there's input lag going on? Decent idea, but bad execution.

Exactly the problem and why sensitivity doesn't do shit. If its on high sensitivity, the thing simply slides away at light speed when it decides to finally move. actually turning down the sensitivity helps accuracy, but then you aim and turn even fucking slower. :lol:

Well, it's just much easier to aim with a mouse than it is a controller and it seems to take away some of the challenge. Gears on PC was way too easy, headshot after headshot whereas on the 360 I had trouble due to using a controller. And yes, I like the handicap of using a controller instead of a mouse.

And PC gaming isn't that expensive anymore. Plus it seems that every game comes out for PC too. The only things that suck are DRM and having to deal with Windows. I like mods and higher resolution graphics and higher framerates.
In the end, it's up to the player to decide what they want to play on. 360, PS3, PC, whatever. If you are happy with a PS3 or 360 version of something, then more power to you.

I know nothing about SO other than it's an RPG and even I can call bullshit on this. The first one's much more visually pleasing, looks easier to navigate and looks very close to the menus I've played in some RPGs I've tried. The second menu looks like a lazy ass photoshop job.

I'd rather see top menu vs. top menu too, to be fair about it.
