Lost Planet - Discussion and Hype Thread - UPDATE: Map Pack #3 Free Aug. 16th.

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']oddly the game after level 3 grows into insanity... in a good way. Once you play level 4 and beyond, you won't want to go back to the old stuff.[/QUOTE]

At about mission 6+ (NORMAL), I was begging for the old stuff. It got so annoyingly difficult that I just stopped playing and probably wont go back to it for a while. I loved fighting the bosses, the giant worm and the giant moth, all of which I had no problems with. However, the more I progressed in the game, the more the difficulty felt cheap instead of challenging.

I also hated the stumbling character thing and getting knocked around by schockwaves etc. It gets so tiresome. Also, due to my personal preference I disliked having to refill my energy constantly and worry about it draining. I like to explore when I play games but I always felt rushed and agitated.

It' not a bad game by any means and I had a lot of fun. I still enjoy the online multiplayer as well. I'm just regretting my purchase and wished I would have went with a rental this time around.

It's not always best to run and gun to get everything... in the later levels you can ease down your pain by running past enemies. It'll get your ass around quicker and with less deaths.
 
the boss in mission 8 was a tough one. I didn't even kill it, it took its own life. While I was switching VS on the ledge, I think he fell into a lava pit and died. Now I just have to figure out where the hell to go in mission 9.
 
I don't understand why people are having such a tough time with this game.. I flew through it on normal in less than a week, around 6-7 hours. I put it on ebay earlier this week and haven't had the temptation to put it back in yet. It'll be a good one to pick up when it's cheaper and when i'm not low on cash.
 
This game's multi-player has a disgusting amount of bullshit / flukes / wtf!? moments.
 
I just got into mission 6. I am taking it slowly. I have played a lot more online than solo. I also didn't kill the stupid moth.

I say it needs a patch, but I doubt it'll happen. The most balanced and intense game mode has to be Post Grab... good stuff overall.
 
Finally beat Mission 7, which had me stuck for a while.

I think I was attempting to get through the level too fast, where it actually helped to take my time on this one. I took out enough enemies to just make a path for myself.
 
Patch Coming!
via Team Xbox
This update is currently scheduled to go live for all Lost Planet players around the globe on or about March 9.

Updates
  • In the pre-game lobby, a country flag icon will be shown next to the Gamertag of each player. This will be especially helpful for determining location of the match host.
  • In the pre-game lobby, an icon will be added next to each player’s Gamertag, indicating connection strength, speed and rating.
  • In Team Elimination, Post Grab and Fugitive modes, an indicator will be added next to the Gamertag of the person who is speaking.
  • At the post-match Results screen, an indicator will be added next to the Gamertag of the person who is speaking.
  • At the post-match Results screen, Gamertags of the players who have left the session will be darkened.
Bug Fixes
  • Sometimes in Fugitive mode there would be multiple Fugitives instead of just one - Fixed
  • Occasionally, if an error occurred on the lobby screen, another lobby screen would be displayed on top of it - Fixed
  • Sometimes when there was a long delay/lag, the game would hang at the transition screen going from the lobby to the game and then reboot - Fixed
  • Sometimes when there was a long delay/lag, depending on the console, certain players in the match would become invisible for the duration of the match - Fixed
  • Sometimes post-match Results screens would show players who did not participate in the match - Fixed
  • Starting a taunt animation during a reload shortened the reload time as an exploit - Fixed

Thank you flashing gamertags! Time to get muted kiddies :)

Glad to see they are fixing the major problems, even though March is quite a ways away..

I am however shocked they just told everyone of an exploit to use for the next month. :(

yeah the exploit wasn't widely known... oh well...
 
are they fixing the bug that crashes the game at the end of every level, therefor making you not want to ever play the game again?

I haven't had that problem.
 
[quote name='Ebraum']I haven't had that problem.[/QUOTE]


same here... my games all run fine... I would blame that problem on the host probably quiting matches due to not winning.
 
I tore through this game tonight for some reason.. I started about 4 hours ago and i've done missions 4-11, and apparently this is the very last mission (mission 11). After I kick this dude's ass, is there any reason to hang on to this game? Is multiplayer fun at all?
 
Crap!! Nevermind. The collector's edition has completely different disc art than the normal version. I'm keeping it 'cause i'm a sucker like that.

Fun game, end boss was kinda.. uhh.. wtf? Yeah. Anyway.
 
I am almost done with this game and, while I do like it, I also feel like most of the missions are just slapped together meaningless 10 minute obstacle courses to fight a boss that may or may not be interesting and challenging.

Personally I like multiplayer more than most games. I do think it is very hit or miss depending on the style of gameplay you like. Give it a try though. Post Grab and Team elimination are the most fun. Post gives crap for points, but it feels like there is more "purpose" then just killing the other team.

Post grab is the best CTF type of gameplay I've ever had online in any shooter... fugitive rocks also, even when the mach ends in less than a minute.
 
So.. I skipped most of the cutscenes.. is there a reason that the final boss turned
into a gundam mech battle in outer space!?

//edit: I think this is the first game on the 360 that i've completely beaten that didn't have one glitch or even a minor snare at all. The only time it ever slowed down was when I had four guys shooting rockets at me. I think I may go back and play through the game again just for the "holy shit!" moments.. like the giant worm. That was awesome the first time.

just oad up each chapter again when you play... I don't see wh you skipped the scenes as they aren't that long at all.
 
I might be the only person who is having trouble with the SP at this point :)

I'm stuck on Mission 8....

Where you have an area filled with giant wasp, scorpion and the rolling boss from the first level flooding the area. I can't get to the mechs fast enough to get to the upper part of the freeway.
 
[quote name='asianxcore']Finally beat the game today.

Now I can actually start enjoying the multiplayer.[/QUOTE]


the multiplayer rocks, but only if you stick mainly to Post Grab, Team Elimination, and the occasional Fugitive. I'm 5 levels away from level 50 and once I hit that, I'll take a long break from the game.
 
I'm loving the multiplayer, except Elimination at which I heinously suck, so I couldn't agree more with Relentless Rolento.

Still need to beat the single player mind you, must get back to that.
 
Im taking this one mission a day at a time since after this game there really wont be anything new for me to play until Summer, unless I pick up C&C3 in March.. and nothing after that :p

Ive only played multiplayer once but between that and the demo Im seeing that it's really hard to get 16 ppl together and coordination is harder than usual in this game... so is there a CAG clan?
 
The first map looks like the map they inlcuded in the special edition. It's a great map, but i bought the special edition so i can play it. Now it's part of the package i'm probably gonna buy soon? that sucks.

from what I understand that map might be free, but I doubt it.
 
Did the final boss just get easier after this update?


Slight spoiler

For the last couple of days I had really been struggling with the final Boss(maybe it was a mental block). I had him down to zero health a few times but I died an instant too soon. I was really getting annoyed cause it wasn't fun anymore and I just wanted to get my points and return this rental.

Today fired the game for another stab and noticed the update. Thought, hey maybe they made him easier and I'll be damned, I think they did. I finished him off first wack with about 25% health to spare. I didn't change my approach and figured I was dead, but it was him.

Loved the game though, other than the final boss.

the last boss fight seems the most random for obvious reasons.
 
I need to get back playing this... 5 levels away from 50.

oh, and some people may get a kick out of this:

They fixed it so people can't be cheap and get rediculous amount of points in fugitive. Points were reduced to 1/4 of what they were.
