Graded exams all last night. Meanwhile, the KZ2 box was staring back at me, talking shit the whole time.

Graded exams all last night. Meanwhile, the KZ2 box was staring back at me, talking shit the whole time.

Doesn't it stink to be an adult?

[mykevermin]

Tryin' not to be, man. Tryin' not to be.

I may be able to fit in about a half-hour tonight. But that's me being lazy in my responsibilities anymore. Ha!

[hankmecrankme]

Glad I don't have too many responsibilities. I can just chill and do whatever most of the time. Though that's mainly due to my lack of employment at the moment. . .

Friend wants to start a PC repair/building business though, and I'm all for it. He'd deal with the peeps, I'd deal with the PCs. Sounds good to me. :)

[dallow]

I'm such a bad adult.

Wanted to play KZ2 last night.
Get home, and the power is shut off.........

Wow. I immediately call them, pay the bill, and promise myself that I'll be more responsible.

I do paperless billing, and they don't ever send me any emails, and I can't set up automatic montly payment with them, so I have to check once a month.
I just ALWAYS FORGET!

So I went to the movies, came home again, and slept at 10pm.

[Maklershed]

Wanted to play KZ2 last night.


Unlocked the engineer last night. It's tough getting kills with the turrets. And my anger knows no bounds when I see that the three team turrets have been placed already and I find them in retarded spots. I know its bad form to blow them up myself but I think I'm gonna have to sometimes. I think some people place them just for shits and giggles and maybe dont realize that we only get three.

I'm also annoyed when people respawn when I'm standing right there with medic equipment. :bomb:

[BlueScrote]

I'm sorry. ;)
At least your car didn't get smashed up by some asshole in an SUV who doesn't know how to drive in the snow.

I swear, everybody who drives an SUV thinks they own the damn road. and don't even get me started with soccer moms in the snow...grrr lake effect snow.

Graded exams all last night. Meanwhile, the KZ2 box was staring back at me, talking shit the whole time.If it makes you feel better, I have exams all week, so I "shouldn't" be playing Persona 3 and ordering Killzone 2.

If you don't mind me asking what subject do you teach? I know your a Dr because I actually read this thread, so your pretty high up there on the prof scale.

Friend wants to start a PC repair/building business though, and I'm all for it. He'd deal with the peeps, I'd deal with the PCs. Sounds good to me. :)Its really not a bad idea. Homegrown pc repair businesses are always better than the firedog/geeksquad corporate BS places. I took my pc to a mom n pop (actually pop and pop's friend, but who's counting) pc repair place this weekend, because when I was trying to connect the front audio/microphone jacks on my case to the motherboard, I disconnected the power switch jumper :bomb:. And I didn't have the time or patience to fit my hands back into that damned case to put them back in.

I don't know how they expect you to connect any of those cables after the rest of the system is installed. my 8800gts takes up half the case by itself.

[hankmecrankme]

It's a bitch fitting my fat hands in a PC after everything's in there, that's for damn sure. I end up taking the video card out most of the time.

I do know that I give more of a damn than Geeksquad ever would, plus I'm willing to bet that I know more than they do.

[benjamouth]

I do know that I give more of a damn than Geeksquad ever would, plus I'm willing to bet that I know more than they do.

Plus you don't need to search your own machine for porn, cos you already know where it all is ;)

I'm sure KZ2 is good, but it's no Space Chimps. That game is all kinds of awesome.

Graded exams all last night. Meanwhile, the KZ2 box was staring back at me, talking shit the whole time.

Why didn't you just throw them all down the stairs, and give the best grades to the ones that went furthest ??

[hankmecrankme]

So true. Geeksquad wouldn't know where to begin. I've got 4 HDDs in my PC for a reason. ;)

Is that from a video online or something else? I remember watching it, and all I could think was thats how my physics TAs graded exams.

[Chacrana]

My friend wanted to show off Killzone 2 yesterday, so he had me play a multiplayer match, and my God... it's incredibly frustrating. All I wanna do is turn, and the devs are like "nope, that's not hardcore enough, fool." I'd heard that the aiming wasn't as bad in multiplayer, but I dunno... between that and the poor frame rate (maybe it was just the map I was on), it wasn't fun at all. I'm sure it's probably better after you get used to the aiming, but nothing about that game really inspired me to play it for more than that brief period.

But I ordered FEAR 2 PC last night from Gogamer for $30, so hopefully I'll be able to enjoy shooting people soon.

[dallow]

It's like you're always playing a different game, Chac.

Didnt you get the memo?

Dyslexic kids aren't allowed to play video games.

Also FEAR2 sucks compared to FEAR.

[dallow]

If I only enjoyed the school/ghosts part of the Fear2 demo and disliked the gunplay, would I enjoy either Fear?

You're doing it wrong. :roll:

When zewone, who hates just about everything on the PS3, is all about a PS3 game, the game must be doing it right. :P

[FloodsAreUponUS]

No.
The game is all about the gunplay,which was better in FEAR.
You didnt know when you were gonna get hit by an enemy ambush, which always happens in FEAR2.

Chacrana would like killzone if it had a. been on the Saturn, and b. had more Japanese in it.

[Ahadi]

edit: Never mind the bitching. I've got me a copy of Killzone 2. What time is game time tonight? :lol:

[dallow]

I'm going to trade in CoD:WaW. (only the second game I will ever have sold/traded from my personal collection in ten years) as I only played it once or twice, and can get about what I paid for it.

I'll use it towards RE5.
Now I kinda want the CE version... $90? Oh crap.
All I want is the steelcase, but am too OCD to sell off the other extras.

Also on my list for March:
Raiden Fighter Aces
Sacred 2
Demon's Soul

[FloodsAreUponUS]

I love RE more then almost anyone I know, and I wont be buying that CE. Its just so crappy IMO.

[dallow]

I know, I hate everything about it save for the case.

[tiredfornow]

I'm sure people wouldn't be complaining if Killzone had auto-aim assist, or some shit. Its really precise, which is nice, but I can understand why people would be frustrated with it.

15,500+ posts! :whee:

Demon's Soul and Raiden are coming over here? :whee:

As for the movement, well, I loved Mirror's Edge, and they have similar weighty-ness to them.

Raiden Fighter Aces is coming.
Demon's Soul I'm just gonna import. It's all in English anyway.

You might want to check Amazon. It was $47.99 the other day for pre-order.

You could throw "360 exclusive" in there as well. Although I guess that goes hand in hand with "American".

Hey Mak, no, it's another Joe Don Baker classic,he's a sherrif from Texas chasing a mafia hitman in Malta, hilarity ensues. Mike thinks he's going home at the end of the ep, cos Joel went home after a Joe Don Baker movie :lol:

[zewone]

You can't unlock the ribbon for the assault class's secondary unless you're the host of the match.

Here's a copy paste:

Hi folks,



Boost

we've identified and fixed the bug to do with the boost medal not being awarded. It will go into a patch we are working on at present, but there is a workaround in the mean time to get it. Simply ensure that you are the Game Creator rather than client and you'll be awarded it.



Network Errors/Honor Ranks

We are also looking at fixing a good bunch of the network errors and are looking into the complaints about the Honor Ranks as well as a couple of other bits and pieces. We'll provide a list of fixes when we are close to releasing the patch.



Bots

We're working on a permanent solution for the bots stat padding and have some internal solutions that we're going to work on implementing. We'll let you know what those are when we've got the patch together and the solution implemented.

We will NOT be wiping ALL stats and padders will be looked at individually by the moderators.



www.kz.com

www.killzone.com is being sorted out today to deal with the massive traffic its been facing and hope to have some long-term solutions in place shortly.

The stats are currently empty on the site and will be repopulated today.



Controller Issues

We have not stopped looking into the complaints and will see what we can do about it. Any possible changes will have to be carefully implemented and tested before being deployed though.



Charge disarming

We have identified the issue where sometimes the C4 charge in Search and Destroy will not disarm. Will be fixed with the next update.



Shotgun Aim Assist

Investigating the problem and will patch it up.



Clan Games

Sometimes the clan that does not turn up for a match is awarded the win under specific circumstances. Will be patched ASAP.



Battle Replay for Map 8 - Corinth Crossing

The BR on www.killzone.com is not quite right and will be fixed soon.



Ignore list

Was found not to be functioning correctly. Will be fixed in the next patch.



Crashes

Crash when using Saboteur disguise in certain situations. Will be fixed in the next patch.

Infrequent crash when trying to start a game with an empty game name. Will be fixed soon.



Medic/Assassination

There is an issue with the Assassination target HUD icon displaying when playing as a Medic. Investigating and will be fixed.



Thanks and apologies if I am not responding to all questions, PMs and threads. There are simply not enough hours in the day to help all of you out and I have to work on the issues themselves. So please stay calm and sensible and everything will get fixed up soon. As you can see we've fixed up a bunch of the problems you have encountered as well as a couple more you might not be aware of. The important thing is to be patient. Any patches have to be carefully implement to ensure that no additional issues are introduced.

Noticed in your GT that you got Web of Shadows, kudos, it's actually a really fun game.

I should be on sometime between 9-11 if you're playing.

[whoknows]

You'll know eventually who he is.

And pretty much You go to Visari's palace, kill a gazillion Helghast with him randomly shooting at you from a safe zone. Eventually he goes invisible and runs around and tries to knife you and occasionally shoots. When you beat him he blows his brains out.

It was kinda cool.

[Lorddraco07]

Been playing a bunch of SFIV lately. About half way done with beating all the characters on arcade. Still need to unlock Akuma, Seth and Gouken. Tried unlocking Akuma but got beaten by the ai on Bison's rival. First real fighter I've picked up and had fun with surprisingly lol.

[Nelo Ice]

k for some reason im getting this msg for my live sub
"Your Credit Card will expire soon. Please take a moment to validate your subscription options"
i thought the card was canceled already and ive been using cards to extend my sub
should i go through the hassle of calling MS to turn off auto renewal and take my dads old card off my account?

[BlueSwim]

What happened to GAF? :(
They are doing some upgrades. It's just taking longer then they planned on. I saw their Twitter (http://twitter.com/BlueSwim) update on it.8-)8-)8-)


....



See what I did there?;):lol:

[gunm]

Anybody getting FF:CC:EoT? Seen some new vids of the multiplayer and it looks pretty fun.

I pre-ordered the DS version, but I'm wondering if I should get the Wii version also/instead? Argh, damn money-grubbing SquareEnix. :grumble, grumble:

KoFXII in July for 360/PS3. Yay!

Also, Shane lives.


“I couldn’t think of a more appropriate way to commemorate The King of Fighter’s 15-Year Anniversary than with a gorgeously animated, high-definition installment that updates the KOF legacy for a new generation.” said Shane Bettenhausen, New Business Development Director of Ignition Entertainment. “While other fighting games have abandoned the time-consuming process of creating beautiful 2D art, KOFXII fully embraces the refined aesthetic beauty that only human hands can produce.”

[gunm]

There's really no reason to get the Wii version unless you need it on your TV. I'll be getting it for DS at some point, whenever my friend and I coordinate a purchase.

Main reason to get the Wii version for me would be for local co-op play with my son. Since he's so young, it might be easier and more fun for us to play on the big screen together. It'd feel more interactive than us playing the game on two different DS separately.

Of course, this is assuming there really is the 4-player local multiplayer option. I really wasn't able to find too much about it in my limited searching of game details. :p

[hankmecrankme]

KOFXII looks sweet. :drool:

I plan on renting RE5 instead of buying it, since I want the PC version. If it never comes out, I'll just get the 360 version. No LAN makes me a sad panda though. :cry:

I didn't really care for the Killzone 2 demo, but my friend is renting ti this weekend, so I'll give it a fair shot.

[gunm]

I got my replacement copy of GTAIV L&D finally. :whee:

I thought the July/summer 2009 date was for PS3 only.

At least, the US debut trailer yesterday only mentioned PS3.

[dallow]

Well, the official press release says both I believe.

[gunm]

Rats, it looks like FF:CC:EoT requires a DS to play local multiplayer (the Wii becomes the "server" and DSes are "clients"). It would've been nice to be able to play the game with my son together on the big screen.

Latest multiplayer impressions here:

http://www.gamespot.com/wii/rpg/finalfantasycrystalchroniclesechoesoftime/news.html?sid=6205396

Edit: actually, I could probably still do it. I'd just play on the DS while my son uses the Wii. I wouldn't need a DS copy of the game for that, but I'd still want one so I could play the game on the go by myself if I want.

[Ahadi]

Add me.

I should be on sometime between 9-11 if you're playing.

I just sent you a request. Headsets?

Now I'm going to fire this bitch up.

I just played the first level of Killzone 2. I died way more than I really care to admit. I'm still having a hard time getting used to the controls. The aiming is a bit... different. And I'm definitely out of practice with FPS's. The enemy AI is great. The game does a great job of creating an overwhelming feeling of panic on the battlefield. If the multiplayer doesn't deliver, I'm not sure how long I'll hold on to this one though.

I didn't touch the single player. I played the multiplayer quite a bit. But I'd play a lot for a week or so, then stop for two, then start back up, so I was going up and down in terms of "skills".

Meanwhile, the single player is really starting to impress me. I stopped playing "Halo" and started playing Killzone. I've got a good groove going now. I'm dying less and enjoying the game more.

But I won't be able to jump on multiplayer until like 11 or so. So I'll have impressions of that later on.

And I didn't play Killzone 1 so I have no idea what's going on story-wise. I'm just shooting dudes with orange goggles. Keep 'em coming.

Generic quick version:

The game is set in an era of space colonization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_colonization) where the Helghast Empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_characters_in_Killzone#Helghast) has recovered from its defeat in the First Helghan War and launched a blitzkrieg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzkrieg) against the outer Interplanetary Strategic Alliance (I.S.A.) colony planet Vekta. Vekta's orbital Strategic Defense (S.D.) platforms failed during the initial assault, allowing the Helghast to land swarms of soldiers onto the surface and making it all the more difficult for the outnumbered I.S.A. forces.
In the game, the Helghast are a faction of human descendants who colonized the planet Helghan many generations ago. The planet's harsh environment forced the Helghast to adapt and mutate so much that they can no longer be considered human. They are stronger, faster and more resilient than their human cousins, and possess a burning hatred for humanity. Except for a small number of half-breed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-breed) Helghast and trained troopers, they require a gas mask (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_mask) and air processing tank that creates air similar to that found on the planet Helghan.


(From Wiki)...


Oddly, I think Killzone 2 is supposed to take place on planet Helghan, as it centers around the ISA counterattack/offensive, but apparently nobody needs breathing apparatuses there. Wonder how they would explain that one if asked.. :lol:


The MP plays sort of like CoD4 meets TF2 or something with specialized classes and special abilities for those particular classes (building sentries, ammo depots, reviving teammates, etc.) instead of just handing out perks, but the leveling system does work a lot like the CoD4/CoD5 MP.

[whoknows]

KZ2 does take place on Helghan.

I never thought about why they still used the breathing things :lol:

[Mr. Beef]

Of course I'm not insulting HOME. I mean, c'mon! God created Man, and Man created HOME. Therefore, HOME is a gift from God!

Damn, this Lost Sanctum shit in CT is pissing me off. Does anyone know if you have to do all the quests over again during a New Game+? I'm thinking about just skipping it altogether.

[whoknows]

You're logic is incorrect.

Seeing as HOME is god.

Every Sonic game has sweet ass songs.

Yea, I said every. 8-) <--- using a smiley to give off the impression that the statement I just said is cool and I'm too hardcore to care

I looked at my final Campaign time for Killzone 2. I'm pretty evil it seems.

6 hours, 6 minutes, 24 seconds. Okay, not that evil, but if you divide by 4...EVIL!

The single player is only 6 hours long :shock:

I'm on mission 3 or 4. I'm really having a blast with it. I'm getting the weapons down pretty well and the controls aren't annoying me now that I'm used to them. I'll give multiplayer a try either tomorrow night or later this week.

I got to play a whole 40 minutes of KZ2 online tonight. I rocked out in one game, but shit the bed in the others. Did make sergeant, though.

[Chacrana]

Alright, honestly, what makes Killzone 2 good? I'm not asking to be a dick or because I totally hate everything Western - I just have no idea what the game's appeal is. All I know is that I played the demo and thought it was rancid, but I want to know what you guys see in it.

I can only go off the demo ... but I dunno, it's just different from the FPS games I usually play.

[gunm]

Bah, I'm still waiting on my copy of KZ2. I have no idea if it'll be as interesting as I thought it looked.

Speaking of Sonic, I bit on Sonic's UGS. Streets of Rage and easy Trophies were a little too much to pass up.

I'm feeling a little bit better from yesterday, so I wanna get some game on tonight. I'll probably have to start by downloading GTAIV L&D though.

[ninja dog]

Some dumbass sonic fan i knew irl told me, a couple years ago, that Sonic is the most recognized cultural icon after the coke logo.

Sonic is definitely more recognizable than the coke logo.

What about the pepsi icon?

They just redesigned it, so in all honesty, it's probably dependent on WHICH pepsi icon and WHICH generation you poll... *shrug*

Looks good, the weapons feel right, the multiplayer contains just the right amount of what made CoD4 great without just trying to copy it entirely and keeping it fresh by adding the constantly changing game type, a nice rewards system, and elements of something a la TF2.

I think it feels different to distgfx, and maybe to others, because the pace is slowed down in the single player, to the point where it's not run and gun, because the enemies require too many shots to drop in that style (it might work on easier difficulties... *shrug*), so you're forced to take it slower and use the cover system to your advantage.

The controls are a little sluggish at first, until you get used to them. I honestly didn't know if I was going to like KZ2 after playing the demo and was ready for a letdown... However, after I fired up the single player (which the demo is like 5 minutes or so of the first mission), and got past the familiar part, I started digging it, especially after turning up the difficulty. I had figured I'd sell it for about what I paid if I really didn't like it, but now that's probably not at all likely, given how much fun the MP is.

The new Pepsi products logos are complete ass. All of them, from Pepsi, to MTN DEW, to Sierra Mist look terrible. Some jackass or a team of jackasses got paid, fucking PAID to come up with that shit.

So, so, so much bitching when people get to the 5th chapter.

*minor RE5 spoilers*

Fucking zombies wearing body armor, shooting AK-47s, shooting rocket launchers, throwing nades, using cover, using gatling guns. It's a fucking joke. I've been one of RE's action oriented defenders, but they took this shit too far. The last half of RE5 plays out like a budget Gears of War. You can tell how bad the RE5 team wanted to make a GoW game, but didn't know how. They really should have tried that shit on a new IP, not RE.

The more and more first-hand reports I hear from RE5, the more my expectations fall. Sounds like too much action, not enough survival horror. Capcom really should never have let Shinji Mikami leave.

I kinda hope RE5 kills Resident Evil. I'd be more than happy with no RE6. Just remake RE 2 and 3 and that would be awesome for me.

And Xenosaga Episode 3 is beaten. :applause: Awesome ending.

No tits/nobody names "Sakazaki."

Kidding. Somewhat.

1) I like its feel, really. The weightiness of the controls makes it feel unique compared to others.

2) It doesn't have that paint-by-numbers feel that, say, a title like Resistance has in terms of controls.

3) It's new. Not everybody's mastered it yet, so I can hop into a game and not be slaughtered by those folks who spend 10+ hours in a day honing their deathmatch skills. This should change in 4 days, though.

4) Quick n' dirty online play. Not new or unique, but appreciated.

4) I like it. I'm not sure I can convince you that this is a reasonable option, but that's okay. I'm just listing a few reasons why I like it, and not trying to convince you, someone who's never met a video game they didn't like and seems to thrive on being a perpetual anti-fun cranky-pants, that the game is fun.

Someone recently asked a Capcom rep about the possibility of doing something with RE2 and was basically told that some announcements they might be interested in are on the way. Not really sure what that means... I would love for it to be RE2 remake but I won't get my hopes up

I played some more Killzone 2 and I'm not really seeing what makes it so great. Maybe I'll put some time into the Multiplayer later and see if that changes my mind.

Killzone 1 on the PS2 was one of the only games I played online consistently and I had a lot of fun with it. There was this gritty excitement I always felt when playing it. It's dirty, unkempt, edge-of-your-seat atmosphere really kept me in the game for a long time - unlike 95% of other FPS's.

I've only played the demo, but with Killzone 2 I just feel like a laboring elephant, going through the motions trying to find the next event trigger. I felt like I was swirling around like a bobblehead trying to get my bearings on a boat in the open ocean. I think in an effort to make the experience as "real" as possible, they made the controls too loose, or too smooth. I've played Fracture, and even though I thought the game was crap, Killzone would have been better for me control-wise if it took Fracture's engine and put on a Killzone Skin. Maybe I'm just not yet used to the FPS in this generation being so pretty and smooth with the appearance of open-endedness that's isn't really there.

Just as an example, it took me at least 10 tries to blow up the bridge to proceed in the demo because 1, I never heard the guy say grab the bazooka to blow the bridge- there's just too much shooting and blowing up going on to hear one comment you NEED to hear to progress. Then 2, I couldn't find the damn thing, it almost blended in perfectly with the ground. 3, when I did find the rocket launcher, pressing and holding 'square' to pick it up resulted in picking up and immediately dropping it and picking up my original rifle at least 6 times before I got the exact timing down to keep it for good. Don't make me hold down a freaking button if holding it for a split second too long completely negates the action I was trying to perform. That's just a stoopidism that should have been rectified before release.

well... Lost Planet 2 is basically Capcom's use of taking the RE5 engine and making it more like Gears of War...

That is a suprise. I wasn't expected a demo this soon.

This is the first wrestling game I have been interested in since the N64. And I can't even be sure why I'm interested in it.

[BlueScrote]

Peggle fucking rocks

Fixed.


I would also like remakes of RE 2/3. I just can't play through surival horror games without getting pissed off at archaic conventions. Even RE1 (GC) bothered me with the tank controls. Maybe I'm not made out for horror games.

Although I did love Dead Space, even though thats more actiony (and RE4-like).

[mykevermin]

Ultimate Warrior?

[Krymner]

Yeah I wasn't expecting the Riddick demo till later this month. Hopefully it'll be up on PSN tomorrow.

And I thought the Legends of Wrestlemania demo was coming this week??? I haven't played a wrestling game in forever.

True Story: I know an ex pro-wrestler. Ron Reis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Reis) aka "Reese" from the Raven's Flock days of WCW. Nowadays, he is the biggest wine salesman in the world. The dude is HUGE, over 7' tall. When he asks for a wine display for my store, he'll just punch me in the arm until he gets what he wants. Its never taken more than one punch.

[h3llbring3r]

Riddick demo up on 360
Great. I am gonna DL this ASAP. I hope it is a good as I remember Butcher's Bay was.

I picked up Fracture for $9 at Target and, while it is another FPS/OTS, the terrain deformation puzzles and weapons are pretty innovative. I am surprised this was ripped so hard by the critics.

[mykevermin]

Demo is supposed to be coming tomorrow for both consoles.

See if Reis can score a couple bottles of the Frank Family 2004 Zinfandel (Napa Valley, CA). I'll put down $50 a bottle for those. No joke. Been looking for 3 years now.

[dallow]

I suck so much at multi in KZ2.
Hopefully I'll be better as a medic or another class.

I did manage to kill the assassination target in impeccable style.

Guy was standing in a corner surrounded by the whole enemy team. People were getting slaughtered.
I found a way to get above everyone, jumped down right next to the target and took him out before any of his guys turned around, I loved it.

Nice, it's done with a FPS style perspective. The TV's screen is like a clean blank canvas, yet the rest of the perspective is harshly colored, gritty and cluttered. Interesting, but with pop-art it's hard to tell what is style and what is intended to be part of "conveyed." I like it.

I doubt Mikami would ever have allowed a core RE title be co-op. Maybe something like RE: Survivor or Outbreak ore whatever the hell those crappy non-canon RE games were about. But not RE5.

I seriously hope Capcom's "reboot" of the RE series does not involve giving the IP to a western dev team. I shudder at the thought of a Resident Halo.

The thing is, while I agree with you, the complaints levied about RE5 remind me of something from my youth: (spoiler since it's deducible what the RE5 thing is from what I'm about to say) When they made He-Man all like a spaceman and shit; I seem to remember robot armor with lasers that would fit on the Cringer figure, and even at a tender, youthful, naive (moreso than now, anyway) age, I thought "this is fuckin' ridiculous." Because it was.

;)

[FloodsAreUponUS]

The S series just hit some small suppliers.

The top of the line wont be out until June/July.

[dallow]

Very keen on reading some reviews for those, thanks.

[zewone]

well... Lost Planet 2 is basically Capcom's use of taking the RE5 engine and making it more like Gears of War...

kinda makes me sad since the original Lost Planet felt like a 3D metal slug...


LP2 > LP

the grappling hook will be there... but it's not the same... it's becoming less japanese and more american... fuck that.

I might have to sig this. Thank you.

[zewone]

lulz @ all the RE5 grumbling. The game didn't even come out yet.

Ironically, Capcom is only trying to give the game a wider appeal for Western audiences.

Unfortunately for GGT, a lot of you don't fit in that category.

ahaha this is true.

Even tho I hated the last half of RE5, it only knocked the game down from a 9.5 to a 8 for me.

It's still a great game in it's own right, just when you start comparing it to other REs does it really sort of bother the shit out of me.

[Lorddraco07]

Ugh I seriously am never going to unlock gouken. I can easily get to akuma but gouken seems annoyingly impossible for me. Even with a stick I can never get the ultras off some other move always comes out instead and when my ultra does come out it never finishes the guy off -.-;

[gunm]

I didn't like the latter parts of Uncharted, but I enjoyed the game very much overall, so I understand where you're coming from.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Wow. What the fuck are they doing to RE5?

Dammit.

So is Dead Rising 2 out yet???

[Inf^Shini]

Ugh I seriously am never going to unlock gouken. I can easily get to akuma but gouken seems annoyingly impossible for me. Even with a stick I can never get the ultras off some other move always comes out instead and when my ultra does come out it never finishes the guy off -.-;
Are you playing this on easiest?

Last half? You've played the whole game? :-s

That's a really good comparison to RE5.

[Lorddraco07]

Are you playing this on easiest?

Sadly yes. This is the first real fighter I've played and adjusting to it still. Maybe I'm just not use to playing on a stick yet but it seems I can just never get the ultras out (For arcade I seem best with Ken for unlocking akuma/gouken as his moves seem far easier to get out and stay alive for the perfect, first hits, ultras) My problem is instead of his ultra I somehow get shoryuken.

My last runthrough sucked because I had the 1 perfect and the 5 first hits but missed the ultras by one because it came out to early not finishing my rival off. :bomb:

[FloodsAreUponUS]

So if you didnt hate the last parts of Uncharted, RE5 will be awesome for you?

[zewone]

So if you didnt hate the last parts of Uncharted, RE5 will be awesome for you?

Yeah!

[depascal22]

Uncharted's end wasn't that bad....

[Inf^Shini]

Yeah!
Then I will love it 8-)

[zewone]

I thought it was really stupid, but that's just my opinion.

[gunm]

If it's the ultras you're having trouble with and you just want to blow through it without much practice, try running through with Akuma instead. His Ultra doesn't require the half circle motions.

[FloodsAreUponUS]

I thought it was a stupid idea, but I didnt mind playing it.

If that made sense.

[dallow]

I thought it was a stupid idea, but I didnt mind playing it.

If that made sense.Uncharted?
Yeah, kinda lame idea, but luckily didn't last too long.
I loved the rest of the game though, that B movie type feel it and the characters had.

Can't wait for part 2.

[FloodsAreUponUS]

Uncharted?

I feel the same about Uncharted.

[hankmecrankme]

I liked Uncharted. Uncharted 2 looks more like Dudes of War and less Dude Raider than even the first one was. I still want to play it.

Playing the Riddick Dark Athena demo, and I'm pretty sure I'll buy this right away. It's Butcher Bay and more, so if they don't fuck it up somehow, I'm good.

[ninja dog]

Damn, I really REALLY want one of those GTA: China Town Wars chinese take out boxes :shock: I've been asking stores if I can buy it or if it comes with a pre-order, in hopes of some clueless guy giving in :)

[whoknows]

Uncharted's end wasn't that bad....

I don't get what people are complaining about with the ending. I thought all of the game was a lot of fun.

[Shrapnellistic]

I hated the "Descendants" in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (made you run and gun, bad ripoff of Dark Sector which was a very generic game itself). The end with the quick time boss fight was horrifically executed, it felt like Naughty Dog was rushed when they made that.

[Jest]

I don't get what people are complaining about with the ending. I thought all of the game was a lot of fun.


I think thats the second time I've agreed with you...

[mykevermin]

Uncharted was a ripoff of a game that came out well after it?

I agree that the game was fun, but I also agree that the "plot direction" (to put it politely) that the game took in later chapters really shit the bed.

[corrosivefrost]

fuck you, KZ2.

and fuck you stage 5 trophy challenge in flower.

[distgfx]

I don't get what people are complaining about with the ending. I thought all of the game was a lot of fun.

Ditto, turned the game from a stop n' pop to a run n' gun. Was a nice change of pace.

Finally got KZ2 and can say why it's good.

Because it's fun.

You guys didn't think those zombie monster things were totally incongruent with the plot/setting/story/reality of the rest of the game?

[whoknows]

Not really. It does go to explain why a lot of the city was flooded. Also they were fun to kill.

[js1]

I kinda felt that way about it. But it was one of my all-time faves either way.

[js1]

But that part of the story part is true. I didn't really like fighting them when compared to the other enemies in the game.

[gunm]

I thought it was out of place myself. I guess it was like the end of every Indiana Jones movie though. Still, I felt that it didn't help to have the transition to run-n-gun so late in the game. It was just like those out of the blue Quick Time Events--more of an annoying surprise rather than a "freshing change of pace" IMO.

Oddly enough, I had no issue with the last battle. At that point, I was happy to end the game more or less the way I started it.

Can't wait for Uncharted 2!!1

[whoknows]

Uncharted 2 will be GOTY.

I see it happening. I have a crystal ball

[Azumangaman]

I can't wait for Uncharted 2!
The new ratchet is my most anticipated, but I don't know if it's coming this year.

[whoknows]

I hear it is in Fall.

Didn't it say that at the end of Quest for Booty? I think it did.

[gunm]

I still haven't finished Tools of Destruction. >_<

Speaking of Japanese game-related figures, I think Kinoshita's Mai Shiranui was better, but it's Morrigan, so I'm still tempted to pick this up: http://www.amiami.com/shop?vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=FIG-MOE-0617&template=review.html

[Azumangaman]

Believe so.
I'm very excited. Ratchet and Clank Future was my GOTY 2007. Then Bioshock, then Uncharted, etc.

[BlueScrote]

On the latter half of Uncharted:

The descendants part I really didn't like, because it was a bit too much into the fantasy realm. But I guess it followed the indiana jones theorem of normal-ridiculous. My gf loved watching me play it, because it was very cinematic. Last level was really bad though. Giving the boss a sniper rifle and not being able to kill him legit? I thought you were better than that naughty dog.

[whoknows]

The end fight was perfectly fine IMO.

Once you get the timing down it becomes ridiculously easy.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I just watched a "spoiler" RE5 Video. I really would love to play this game... but I don't have any friends that would want to play it.

[Jest]

We have this Uncharted discussion very couple months it seems....

[pete5883]

Your username fools no one.
Now that's funny.

I hated the "Descendants" in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (made you run and gun, bad ripoff of Dark Sector which was a very generic game itself).
How do you rip off a game that is released after yours?

[heavyd853]

Now that's funny.

Nostradamus!

Dear GGT,

I love Killzone 2. But I don't love that I have no time to enjoy it.

Why don't they make "epic" games on handhelds that bring in the same level of excitement as console games?

It's not as epic on a small screen with cheap stereo speakers?
