I'm super tempted to get DoW 2 after hearing about it on Rebel FM, but I'm not sure how well my system would run it.

I've got
7900GS
2 Gigabytes Corsair Ram
2.0 ghz AMD Athalon X2 3800+

Can I run it on medium settings smoothly?
If it means anything to you, I've got a Dell XPS M1210 and I couldn't even get the beta to start.

Yes, let's make a petition for epic to release their games on handhelds! :lol:
I'm sure they'd listen! It's an interwebz petition! It's almost as legit and the Bill of Rights or the Bible!

Hah. But seriously, I've been on such a JRPG kick. I knocked out DQIV, started Chrono Trigger, started FF9, stopped Chrono Trigger, started Digimon World(psx), stopped Digimon World, picked Chrono Trigger back up, rinse and repeat. I've seriously clocked at least 10 hours on each game. More so on Chrono Trigger and Digimon. Digimon is fucking crack for the mind.

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?

Chrono Trigger brings me more excitement and joy than KZ2 ever could...

Riddick demo is alright, but $60 for this? hell no. They added some ugly ugly FOV and called it a day.

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

No. Because I don't think the game wasn't supposed to be totally realistic. I think it was meant as a playable Indiana Jones type game -- and based on all the legends and stories of what really happened to Francis Drake and the like, I think the were a-ok, just like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was okay when the priest starts pulling out human hearts. Action/adventure movie or game, it still fit the bill I think they were intending to fit.

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.

Your wish would make the last level/confrontation a bit anticlimactic.

Comparing Chrono Trigger to Killzone 2 is like comparing Superman to Daffy Duck. It just can't be done! They are two very different entities...

The Riddick game is just Butcher Bay with added content right?

corrosivefrost

03-04-2009, 11:38 PM

Where Uncharted really drops the ball is that the final boss is a fucking QTE. I played through on the super-duper difficulty just to trophy whore the platinum. I remember thinking "oh, man, if I just make it to the final boss, then it's easy breezy from there."

Which isn't how final bosses should be. See also "Bioshock" ('cept for the QTE part).

Yeah, sorta... but in the case of uncharted where they're going for a realism+treasure hunting+folklore, you can't really have a boss battle against another human and not have that person come off as some sort of super being (at least if it's a gunfight), unless they made it a straight up fighting minigame type ordeal...

03-04-2009, 11:47 PM

I guess after fighting all those zombie things, I guess I can see where the "Boss" at the end of Uncharted would be a letdown, but for me it was no big deal. The game went full circle at least. It's not like all games have to be designed like old school arcade games right? That was more of a "nice change of pace" for me than the rather abrupt shift from pop-n-shoot to run-n-gun anyway.

According to IGN:
Expanding on the blockbuster prequel videogame in the Riddick franchise, this expanded version brings back the proven gameplay and adds in a number of new features for next-gen consoles. Starring Vin Diesel as the titular anti-hero Riddick (who has heightened sensory abilities that allow him to see and hear beyond normal human ranges), you must break out of the galaxy's most deadly prison in this compelling 1st person action experience.

I have to agree. From the minute that you find the Nazi sub stranded on the waterfall and see the corpse that had scratch marks from some unknown source, there was the uneasiness that something supernatural was at play with this whole situation. At least it should give people a better idea of what to expect for Uncharted 2.

I found it to be a nice change of pace for the gameplay and with the added element of the pirates being involved, as well. Since you weren't moving in and out of cover much more at that point, though it was a bit easier to lose the trail of where you needed to go. The last whole final sequence not having a checkpoint between each encounter on the ship was kind of bullshit. I don't think a traditional boss, maybe a King/Queen descendant or a mutated version of the main nemesis would've been any better, so I'm not sure what the best way to handle that would've been.

I thought you hated Uncharted, Frosty?
According to IGN:

The second paragraph of their newest preview:

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena contains a remastered version of Butcher Bay (with updated graphics and sound and some tweaks to previous gameplay issues) as well as an all new adventure for Riddick. Oh, and multiplayer. When you first boot up Riddick, you're given the choice to start Butcher Bay or jump right into Assault on Dark Athena.

It started out as a fairly short addition, but apparently they've lengthened it significantly, though who knows how much longer it really is.

Basically, it's remastered BB with new shit and a new section to play, so that's pretty good to me.

Just beat mission 4 of Killzone 2. This game is super short if there is only 8 missions, which is a bummer because this single player campaign kicks ass.

I have no idea what is going on story wise though. I've accidently skipped a few cut scenes, anyone want to fill me in?

Dude, there's like 10 missions, and the last two are a bitch if you're playing on >= hard... I think I'm finally on the last part and I can't catch a fucking break to save my life. The AI is absolutely retraded.

but at least I come out and say it without writing a dissertation on how cheap and unfair the game is...

about Dark Athena -- word is that the addition is about 2 - 3 hours long. some quick blurbs I saw on gaf said that other reviews are saying it's not up to Butcher Bay quality. Hearing that and seeing how much of a technical eye sore the Dark Athena demo is in all respects, I'm starting to think starbreeze was a one hit wonder with the original Butcher Bay (wasn't a fan of the Darkness.)

will totally get the game on clearance to play Butcher Bay again...

Does KZ2 have online co-op?

And this rehash of Riddick just doesn't seem to be worth $60. I loved Escape From Butcher Bay, but I beat that shit in a weekend. So now I'd have to play right through to Monday. And even then, $60 just doesn't tickle my taste buds. Not to say I'm hatin' on the Riddick game, because that was one of my favorite Xbox games, and one of my favorite games last generation.

Patched in means one of two things to me, A) A costly "expansion" pack or B) a free, but very long download.

Until recently I haven't minded the updates that come out with new games. But I mean really, with every console being online now, they're half assing it big time. In fact, I can't think of a Wii game that has a patch. But please correct me if I'm wrong.

Started a new game on GTA IV instead of continuing my last save that I haven't played in several months. Mainly so I could get some trophies, but also cause I couldn't remember what I was doing. I also played a skirmish battle in Valkyria Chronicles so I could get used to it again after not playing it since before Xmas. Gonna try and get these two games off my backlog before I have to move.

My girlfriend and a friend of hers are gonna take a trip up to Nashville this weekend to scope out some living arrangements for us. We're gonna try and move up by the end of the month if everything goes to plan. We've already given written notice to our current apartment complex that we plan to leave, so things are progressing. I just HATE moving. But I do love that I'll be closer to my family, so maybe its all worth it.

It's a good theory, but live opponents are definitely different than AI grunts, as you probably know. To me, games tend to get more frustrating and cheap when you turn up the difficulty past a certain point, usually medium.

I like a challenge, but I don't like cheapshots.
Moving is a horrible experience. Especially for tech people that gamers tend to be. Being a college student who's lived in three different places in three years, I dread having to move my computers, monitors, gaming setup.
I dread moving too. I have so much shit; CRT HDTV, receiver, 5 speakers and a sub, desk, PC, 1 LCD monitor, 1 CRT monitor, drum kit, office chair, and a shitload of games, systems, and accessories just off the top of my head. I have more little things, but I can box them up. And my friend is talking about moving out to California, so I may go with him. X_X

I'd probably sell a ton of shit just so I wouldn't have to take it from IL to CA.

Indeed, and I'm moving again this summer. :(

At least I've got rid of a lot of clothes and nickknacks, and the last time I moved I gave away most of my furniture (other than bedroom stuff) since I was just renting a room.

This time I'm ditching most of the bedroom stuff--so it will mainly just be boxes of stuff and my 50" TV and receiver, speakers etc. to deal with. Also giving away my old desktop before I move since I'll have a work laptop to use at home. Console wise I only have a 360 now (had 3 consoles last time I moved), so it won't be so bad this time--the 10-11 hour drive aside.

Back on topic, was out of town most of the past two weeks so no gaming. Haven't gamed much at all the past couple months. Still need to polish off the Shivering Ilse's and have Fable 2 and Fallout 3 on the shelf waiting.

I don't know about that. The whole way the game handled clans/friends made it very frustrating to join and follow people you know in game. and UT is always better when playing with people you know.

Apparently they fixed a lot of that, though I didn't spend much time with it online to begin with. So I don't really know.

I bought and beat the Prince of Persia Epilogue tonight. Well, after about...4 hours or so of playing and constantly quitting/reloading my saves (because you can't load from directly in the game) I finally managed a time of under 2 hours, and possibly under an hour, and no, I'm not kidding. People who bitch about the length of other $10 DLC, ladies and gentlemen, the King Offender is Prince of Persia for 360/PS3.

It's awfully linear, has some new powers (One of which they do not tell you how to use), new dialogue (I didn't do any dialogue parts though, I will for a second playthrough to get the final Trophy, though) and if the difficulty of the actual game was this, I wouldn't have enjoyed it, because this DLC is butt tough.

Let me clarify. It's hard to give all the haters of the game's difficulty a big middle finger. That's how hard it is. But the ending once again kept me intrigued about what was going to happen next. So, in that regard, it did its' job. But the game is sort of a mess, except the final platforming part, which I thought was fantastic.

Keep hitting him with the sniper rifle from the back of the room. Stand behind the panels on the railing so the dudes on the ground can shoot you. Then when he unleashes the rocket guys, go to the sides of the balcony and take them out and just shoot at him from there. When he comes down to the ground, I dont think there's much you can do but just try to survive and get as many shots on him as you can. Also, I think it helps to hit him when he's completely invisible.

Man, I suck so much. I'm just no good at taking out guys close quarters with the regular gun.
I did a lot better when we switched to objective missions. I should be a medic by tonight though, and that's where I plan to stay.That's fine, I understand. I remembered you wanted in the last KZ2 night, so I thought I'd let you know.

Anyway, I will probably spend my weekend playing Star Ocean: The Last Hope more and some KZ2 online. I dunno when I'll beat KZ2 single player (I have a little too many games to play right now, but I don't plan to buy a new game for a while. I'm even going to wait on RE5 a little).

I don't know about that. I've heard some people complain about how much ammo she wastes and how much babysitting he had to do.

I dunno what you guys were experiencing... in the RE5 demo I didn't have to babysit her at all. I never gave her ammo, never really had to go out of my way because of her or anything like that. Just occasionally I would have to someone off of her but that was it. Plus it was handy having her around because would heal sometimes when I was too busy to do that.

However, I do feel that adding co-op in a game like that lessens the horror aspect, because you never get that feeling being all alone and trapped.

tiredfornow

03-06-2009, 07:34 PM

I don't know about that. I've heard some people complain about how much ammo she wastes and how much babysitting he had to do.She wastes ammo if you're a terrible shot because she cleans up what you don't finish. The only babying you have to do is press B every now and then to get an enemy off of her. She uses her own herbs when she needs to, stands next to you to heal you as well, and she'll get your back if you're swamped and have to reload. I don't see her as a crutch, but more like a partner.. till the end. 8-)

Oh, and you get to set her items up and shit before each area in every chapter and you can have her pick up items. If its something she needs, she'll pick it up on her own (ie: running low on pistol/whatever gun she has out ammo).

I canceled 1 figure I had pre-ordered because 2 were pushed back to this month. But I'm sure I'll be able to get it later. It seems she wasn't a popluar character. I just wanted her for the wacky swimsuit waitress outfiut shie had on...

And the Was gundam thing is from the fake 00 Season 2 trailer(well I'm not sure how fake it is no considering everything in the trailer has happend). Setsuna says something along the lines "I am Gundam...No I was Gundam."

No time for GGT anymore...

SF4 is the best.

Maybe I should reconsider my stance on SF4... :-k :lol:

She wastes ammo if you're a terrible shot because she cleans up what you don't finish. The only babying you have to do is press B every now and then to get an enemy off of her. She uses her own herbs when she needs to, stands next to you to heal you as well, and she'll get your back if you're swamped and have to reload. I don't see her as a crutch, but more like a partner.. till the end. 8-)

Oh, and you get to set her items up and shit before each area in every chapter and you can have her pick up items. If its something she needs, she'll pick it up on her own (ie: running low on pistol/whatever gun she has out ammo).

I dunno what you guys were experiencing... in the RE5 demo I didn't have to babysit her at all. I never gave her ammo, never really had to go out of my way because of her or anything like that. Just occasionally I would have to someone off of her but that was it. Plus it was handy having her around because would heal sometimes when I was too busy to do that.

However, I do feel that adding co-op in a game like that lessens the horror aspect, because you never get that feeling being all alone and trapped.

Agree with you and tiredfornow.
Except on the horror thing. I mean, I'm sure ever horror movie that scared the shit out of anyone always had people alone -- y'know, never two kids in a car fuckin' when the masked murderer shows up and guts one of them so the other one has to scamper across a field half-naked... :roll: :lol:

And for what it's worth, I thought she was useless in the demo... ;)

What the fuck? That's the worst part of multi...

I can't tell you how fucking aggravating it is to have to level up. So when I finally pop it in and try to play, I'm dealing with all sorts of motherfuckers who can build sentries or have invisibility cloaking while I'm waving "Hi, I'm still kinda new, can I play?!"

At least in CoD4 the perks were slight advantages, not something that tipped the scales. Oh, you have juggernaut or stopping power? Big deal. There was no "I'm under a fucking invisibility cloak" bs there... unless you unlock that at a level I never reached. :roll:

Now I'm not saying the classes are bad. Or that KZ2 MP is bad -- quite the opposite. It's just a bit aggravating how the playing field isn't exactly level.

Just realized my new issue of Xbox Magazine has a cover story for Dead Rising 2. The cover story was pretty lame as in showed off all of 5 pics and the most notable thing about it is that it's being developed by the same company that did "The Bigs".

I'm not exactly thrilled by that announcement. It's as if Square-Enix announced a Chrono Trigger 2, but then they put the people behind TNA Impact! on it.

There was ALOT more sexing in the graphic novel than there was in the movie. And all the action scenes were pretty spot on with the graphic novel, minus some scenes that weren't depicted in the movie.

They did make more violence and bone breaking in a few of the action scenes, but otherwise yeah it was pretty spot on.

I didn't have a problem with the character development either, but maybe its because I already knew how they were going to end up.

I actually thought the ending was much more sensible too, compared with the giant vagina face squid thing, and how it was in all of the cities,not just ny

True. I did find that the violence seemed a lot more brutal in the film though. I also noticed they added quite a bit of language (read: F-bombs) to the dialogue, especially for the comedian into the film.

I didn't really like Paprika. It looks beautiful and some parts were fun to watch. But I really hated the ending.... mostly because this certain large character annoyed me to no end.

And I need to max out before I can even use a sniper rifle? I like to hang back and take people out at a distance.

I can see how that was annoying... I just liked alot of elements and how nicely satisfying the characters felt.

also, you can still snipe with the basic assult but it's not as strong as the sniper rifle or as zoomy... also you can upgrade your sniper scope, but I don't know what it does exactly ... i think it has a new HUD or something that tracks players.

I say this without any misogyny that this chick seems to know nothing about games and she adds nothing to the conversations. She makes a stupid ass pun or rhyme out of everything they say or, even worse, just goes "REALLY? WOW." every 5 minutes or so. And her levels are always too loud, like she's screaming into the mic.

I really enjoyed the watchmen movie. I only just read the book last summer but I think it's the best i could have expected from a movie about it.

The Dylan montage with the recreated photos was phe-fucking-nominal. Even though i'd only read the book once it was awesome to see that.

I think the movie had a better ending than the book, too. I never understood the faked alien invasion

I was bracing myself for a rediculously gory and upsetting scene though. Of all the gory and violent scenes in the film the scene of the comedian being the JFK assassin was the most stomach-turning.

Too much sex, though. And not enough blue dick.

Never enough blue weiners.
