My stuff is actually finally coming today from NYC, like I'm actually going to have my stuff again. :D Really I've just been kind of drifting and hanging out at my friends' place since my apartment has almost nothing in it other than a bed and a couple small pieces of furniture.[/QUOTE]

Did you get a new job or did your job simply move?

Interesting. Seems like a games portal. Still doing development?


Outland is starting to get annoying.

Guy 1: We need some variety for the last level.
Guy 2: Lets have enemies that change color randomly for the last level.
Guy 1: Brilliant, Ship it.

Outland is such a fucking fraud of a game.

You start out thinking the game controls well and even that it's a well-designed game.

Then you realize it's completely fucked towards the end.

I'd give it a 6/10, personally. Would much rather play Dishwasher: Vampire Smile or Bloodrayne: Betrayal.
 
I liked Outland a lot, didn't have any issues with the control. Some of the bullet hell stuff during the bosses (especially the last one) was a pain in the ass as I don't care all that much for that type of gameplay. But other than that I loved the game. Would probably give it a 8.5/10 or so.

Still been playing a lot of Zelda Skyward Sword. Just a great game. About 33 hours in and saved at the start of the 5th dungeon (out of 7 I think) tonight.

Are all zelda games that long? I never made it through TP or WW, the last one I finished was OoT.

Twilight Princess I think took me 35-40 hours to beat, and a little over 50 after goofing around in side quests and looking for heart pieces etc.

Been too long since I played WW to recall how long it was. OoT I think was a bit shorter and Link to the Past was a lot shorter as were the handheld Zelda's I played. Majora's Mask was probably definitely shorter as well since I think it only had 4 dungeons (lot of crap in between them though).

This is definitely one of the longer ones, if not the longest. One of the best to IMO, assuming the last quarter or so of the game keeps the quality up!

I never had any problems with Outland towards the end. I thought it was excellent throughout. It was probably my second favorite downloadable game of the year, only behind Trenched. To each his own though.

I finished up the third dungeon today (Temple of Time). It was definitely my favorite dungeon so far in Skyward Sword. I'm really loving the game overall as well.

One thing I like about it is that it feels like a Zelda game without feeling like any other Zelda game in particular. So it has a nice balance of familiarity and freshness. I really like the tone of the game too. It's colorful and feels a bit more wacky and Japanese than other Zelda games.

They buffed up Dudley, but he's still going to suck. Nothing but nerfs for Makoto, nobody charges the hayate. Viper got made it easier to land ultra 1 in combos and upped the damage on ultra 2, big deal, nothing but nerfs! Ken can no longer combo into sweep still. Cody got hella buffed, let's see how that works out for him.

Yeah... nobody but you or me give a fuck about this in here, LOL!

Yeah, the dungeons have all been very good so far. Good puzzles without being obtuse--I haven't gotten stuck for more than a few minutes anywhere yet. Boss battles that are fun and interesting, and not frustrating etc.

It's not perfect by any means. The controls are a bit wonky here and there, the graphics look pretty bad on my HDTV with a lot of jaggies and blurring--but the art design of the game is fantastic (which almost makes it worse as I'd love to be playing this in HD!).

I'm not a big fan of the shields taking damage or having limited adventure pouch slots as that's added some inventory management and item damage/repair stuff to Zelda. One of the things I liked about the series was not having to deal with that kind of stuff. On the other hand, being able to upgrade items is a nice touch and adds some purpose to collecting random items, catching bugs etc.
 
[quote name='BlueScrote']Are all zelda games that long? I never made it through TP or WW, the last one I finished was OoT.[/QUOTE]

Twilight Princess and OoT are probably similar in length.
WW was ridiculously short, which was one of my main complaints against the game. Especially considering how much of the actual game time was spent participating in the torture known as sailing. :lol:

Yeah, I agree with everything you just said. Although, I haven't experienced any blurriness on my current TV ever since I got component cables, but the jaggies are very noticeable. Like you said, the beautiful art design really makes me wish it were in HD.

And while the controls are definitely a little wonky every now and then (the bug net always feels odd to me), I've been pleasantly surprised by them overall. I'm usually not a fan of motion controls, but they really do add to the game in this case. The directional stuff makes the combat a lot more fun than any other Zelda game.

Just beat Aliens Infestation. More people need to play that game because it is seriously great. I couldn't put it down. It's not terribly long, but the length feels right for what it is. I can see myself replaying it much like a classic SNES game. Plus the unique marine mechanic makes it so each playthrough will be different.

Agreed. Love Vampire Smile.

Also lol at this.

Figured out what causes it too. I'm playing without Vsync, and it runs at like 250 FPS. Every time I went into this room it went nuts like that. I tried to record it with FRAPS, FPS drops to 120 and the madness stops. So apparently if you can run this game at insane speeds, the Havok Physics can't comprehend and just go batshit insane.

I think it's hilarious, so I'm leaving it.

I like watching people who hate each other be all buddy-buddy on these social networking sites. It's even worse when you know one person hates the other, but the other has no clue. Shit like that makes me crack up and cry. For example, ya'll know how I feel about most of you and I don't pretend otherwise. JSP annoys the living fuck out of me and is an idiot, Joel says some of the dumbest shit I have ever heard but it makes me laugh, chac is an asshole and I still love him, etc.

See? Is that so hard?
