[quote name='zewone']I'm guessing you've never played Fable 2?[/QUOTE]
Well, you said the game was big fat doo doo so I never touched it.

But no, it's not like Fable 2.
I'm not even talking about the co-op at all which I haven't even touched.

I'm talking about the almost tangible presence of other players in my world and not just some orb points.


----

I can't wait to try co-op though eventually, or break into other player's worlds uninvited to try to kill them.
 
My copy of Demon Soul's still isn't here (probably good because I have a ton of work to do).

I'm at least half way through the assault on dark athena campaign in Riddick, and lets just say its nowhere near as interesting as the first half/escape from butcher bay.
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']I'm really digging Kingdom Hearts 420 days over 69, shitty camera and all.[/QUOTE]

This is what, the 3rd game? And they still haven't fixed the camera issues that ruined the first game?

That depends on if you consider the :gba: KH part of the series.

:booty:
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']This is what, the 3rd game? And they still haven't fixed the camera issues that ruined the first game?[/QUOTE]

That reminds me. I have the first KH game untouched in my backlog. I should probably get to that sometime. I've been putting off RPGs since I finished Persona 3 and LO because I don't have the time to sink into them anymore.

Also, the next kingdom hearts game should have marvel characters.
 
[quote name='The Crotch']Hmm.

Vampire - The Masquerade: Bloodlines has now replaced KotOR II as my "best game ever to get released way before it was actually finished".
[/QUOTE]
Same here. Glad there's another fan of that game here.
 
[quote name='pete5883']What PS3 exclusives has the GGT been unduly excited about? Killzone 2 wasn't exactly a big hit, nor was either Resistance, Ratchet & Clank... all I can think of is Uncharted. And that kind of deserved it.[/QUOTE]

KZ2's multiplayer was solid -- depends on how much you dislike the controls or find them laggy. Single player campaign was pretty forgettable though.

Uncharted is a solid game.
Uncharted 2 next week. Same game. New setting. Add Co-op. Add MP.

inFamous is really good if you like games like [Prototype] or Crackdown (Vertical Sandbox, I guess?).

Ratchet and Clank gets a lot of praise, but is pretty weak if you're a fan of the PS2 games.

LittleBigPlanet is pretty fun, depending on if you can acclimate to the floaty jumping in the platforming and/or your desire to try to create things.

MGS4 is great -- but it's a bit short, especially since a large portion of the "gameplay" is cutscenes.
 
[quote name='KingBroly']I thought the camera in KH2 was fine in comparison to the first one. Why couldn't I move that thing up and down?[/QUOTE]

I couldn't bring myself to play KH2 after I put KH in my toaster and traded it back to EB. The lack of a proper lock on or something... that game had fucking issues when it came to the camera and combat.

[quote name='Maklershed']
 
[quote name='jer7583']You know how I feel about the PS3.

This actually is almost, but not quite as good as Dallow is saying.

The little messages written everywhere like "treasure ahead" "watch out for the horde of enemies ahead"
"just run through this part" etc. make it feel like you're exploring somewhere where people have failed numerous times before.

And watching other people's deaths is entertaining. There's like 10 bloodstains in the main area where people just plain walked off a 50 foot drop near those huge stairways, it's pretty funny. Fable 2's orb friend thing didn't really compare, because people couldn't leave messages and you couldn't actually see their character - although the jump in co-op is somewhat similiar.

But Demon's Souls is a million times better in combat than Fable 2.[/QUOTE]

Did you know that you could talk to the orbs in real time? I've never played Demon's Soul's, but it sounds very similar to that. (the ghost thing)

[quote name='dallow']Well, you said the game was big fat doo doo so I never touched it.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I still think Fable 2 was hot garbage, but the fact that you could see everyone playing in real time on Fable and communicate with them was a very impressive feature for single player.

I really want to try out Demon Souls now. If it's not someone ones cup of tea and they want to get rid of it, let me know.
 
I can't wait to get some good time with Demon's Souls tonight.

And Dallow, I was kind of assuming the bloodstains/messages I saw in 1-1 were sort of like presets, and user ones would be a different color.
 
Sean. The messages in the tutorial level were preset yeah.

But everything after that tutorial boss are user stuff.

Green Frisky? I thought green is just for the messages you write yourself.

I got healed while I was playing as a few people were "recommending" my messages which was a nice surprise.
I started as a female thief.
Parry and riposte for one hit kills. :)
 
I thought blue was for ones you've written. I haven't played it for about a month now, so I mainly remember seeing a lot of bloodstains in the nexus hub of people running up the steps and jumping to their doom.

Red/Pink messages are the user messages.
Bloodstains are just the dark red pools scattered about.

[quote name='gunm']Any issues playing melee? I was planning to play as a royal, as like rangers.[/QUOTE]None at all, I've only been doing melee. I've used arrow on out of reach enemies that like to use their own crowwbows. I don't have any magic yet.

[quote name='Chibi_Kaji']Can you pause Demon's Souls? I got a phone call and had to run a little bit in order to make sure nothing attacked me...[/QUOTE]No pausing at all. Another aspect of it's difficulty.
 
[quote name='dallow'] No pausing at all. Another aspect of it's difficulty.[/QUOTE]
Thats just... retarded.

I tried the Forza 3 demo again today and I actually liked it. I think I might actually pick that one up....
 
Well, considering the game is 'connected to the world' kind of like an MMO...
When I needed to "pause" I just moved back a couple rooms and stood in a corner.

Thank the heavens for UK PSN cards.
Finally got a ton of exclusive Singstar songs.

Mmm, Morrissey, Jackie Wilson, Sultans of Ping, Madness, and..... Lady Gaga. :p
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Same here. Glad there's another fan of that game here.[/QUOTE]
It's a damn good game, albeit one with glaring flaws. Even with patch 6.5, the bugs come at you thicker than a blackfly swarm. My personal favourite was the one that rendered random objects - a computer here, a door there - literally unusable unless you saved and reloaded.

Still, it was a fun game. Played a Gangrel male with an emphasis on melee combat and Fortitude. I was virtually immune to gunfire by the end of the game.
 
Demon souls is an Unforgiving bitch, that goddamned Red Eyed knight chases my ass everywhere I go and Kills me instantly. I can parry sometimes but I cant go in for the strike? Christ!.

The Little guide told me to trap him at the barrels but he just broke right through em, I cant even land a hit on the fucker.

Tremere is my favorite race. You have to play as a Malkavian at least once (recommend it on a second playthrough). It's quite an experience.

It's really too bad the game was never really finished, or that we never got a sequel.

I also want NFS Shift after playing the demo.

But right now I have enough racers and will wait to pick-up the others when cheap. Due to a busy day yesterday, no gaming for me. Actually, I might have been two days without games. Tonight I will play something.

Yeah, I've heard about the Malkavian
inanimate object conversations
.

As far as a sequel goes? C'mon, Obsidian. Pick up the torch.
 
You paid $80 for the privilege of only downloading your PSP games because you bought a Go, knucklehead?

Well, for this week's special, we've added TWO WHOLE GAMES. And if you act now, you'll get NBK Live 2010 for only $10 more than if you bought a disk from a store like a consumer with dignity and self-respect!

I must thank Sony for reminding why I didn't want a PSP Go(Was just think about getting one..again). I'll go buy Uncharted 2 and a memory stick instead.
 
Nah, bear, they still have the PSP3000 and they're still making UMDs. If PSPGo fails, it won't mean the end of PSP.

Also, if you haven't already found out, the ECA # codes are completely retired/void from Amazon's system and can not be recovered if you want to try and modify unshipped pre-orders.
 
[quote name='The Mana Knight']Yeah, I liked the demo too, so I plan to buy one day (Microsoft's first party stuff outside of Halo and Gears tends to drop fast in price anyway).[/QUOTE]


IIRC Forza is the third best selling first party title behind Halo and Gears. It's also been 2 years since the last title. I'd be surprised if it dropped in price any time soon.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']Some people seemed to dig Infamous. It turned me off from the start and I'm glad I just GF'd it.[/QUOTE]
Wow, I forgot all about my own GOTY :whee:

It was bundled with a console, so the numbers are inflated, but that also meant tons of them flooded into GameStop to be dirt cheap early on.
 
[quote name='Nelo Ice']killing ppl in batman without the aid of gargoyles is kinda hard :lol:[/QUOTE]


Is that in a challenge room or something?
 
well, I went out and bought a Lady Gaga poster for my dorm.....XD

Loving Demon's Souls. Can't wait to get Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2 next week!

If they can hack the Go, then I'll get one.
