Started playing GoW2 again. I'd left off after the first hour, figured I might be able to knock it out this weekend. It's really not that good-looking of a game. Kinda bummed they didn't HDify it better.
There's no way it will be good.Anyone else see this... http://www.cheapassgamer.com/redirect.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2FMisc%2FBlack-Friday%2Fpcmcat225600050002.c%3Fid%3Dpcmcat225600050002%26amp%3BDCMP%3Drdr100334&pid=11936531 Best Buy Black Friday in July... hopefully there is something worth while.
It's Friday? Also I hope there is something decent. I got $87 in credit to spend. Wolfenstien for $20 for PS4 would be nice.There's no way it will be good.
Also nice to see what this thread devolves to on a Friday night. No wonder I'm usually passed out by now.

You got that right. I don't have much experience playing Halo, but Destiny feels so natural to me.Holy crap, I can already tell Destiny is going to take so many hours away from me.
I only played for a couple of hours, getting to Level 3 and enabling my ship's interplanetary travel. I'm toying with the idea of just stopping now since I really, really like what I've played so far and don't really like the idea of repeating much of it if our progress in the beta isn't carrying over to the full game.How long did Destiny take you guys? I'm about at level 5, just hitting The Last Array now.
The PS4 version is pretty. Holy CRAP, is the PS4 version pretty.Just deleted Destiny. Controls and plays well enough, but I really hope they get the graphics improved for PS3 otherwise I can't see it selling well there. PS4 version should be pretty, though.
I finished just after reaching level 5. You should be pretty close to the end of the story missions. Unless you're going to buy it on release, I'd say give it the extra hour or so to finish it off.I only played for a couple of hours, getting to Level 3 and enabling my ship's interplanetary travel.

I have the LE preordered at Best Buy, so...yeah.I finished just after reaching level 5. You should be pretty close to the end of the story missions. Unless you're going to buy it on release, I'd say give it the extra hour or so to finish it off.
Nah, I'm a lone wolf.Are you guys playing with friends? If so, how is the multiplayer?
Nope by myself. I have no one to play with :,(Are you guys playing with friends? If so, how is the multiplayer?
Well how is it that you are all playing the same game, talking about it, but haven't teamed up yet?Nope by myself. I have no one to play with :,(
Gamer problems.
We choose not to form fireteams to tackle the same mission together? Some of us are playing on PS4 while others are on PS3?Well how is it that you are all playing the same game, talking about it, but haven't teamed up yet?
I think the only person I'm friends with in here is Tyler, and that's because I bummed a SF3A Steam key off him when he was banned from CAG and I needed another way to bug him for it. I've got like...10 friends total, if that. I never play online, but Destiny doesn't really give you a choice.Well how is it that you are all playing the same game, talking about it, but haven't teamed up yet?
FriendS? Hahahaha. Haha. Ha. Ha...Are you guys playing with friends? If so, how is the multiplayer?
I was kind of going back and forth on this. I think the main thing is I would either like the cursor to move faster or have the option to use motion control on the PS4. I was thinking if it would be better using old school console menus but it would probably just end up with lots of scrolling and extra input needed. Just needs some tweaks because sometimes it feels like you fall out of the sub-menu you're in too easily.Also, I think the menus in Destiny, as well as the overall UI, look pretty darn sexay. I even like using the cursor.
Not playing destiny :0Dammit I was so excited to watch the A's the walkoff video, I brought my laptop with me to the bathroom instead of my Vita. Guessssssssssssssssss what I'm doiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing?
I'm trying to finish Soul Sacrifice actually. I finished God of War Chains of Olympus earlier and want to play a game before I start up God of War 1. It's tough for me to play the same genre back to back. After playing a little bit of the Beta, I don't think I am going to be purchasing it, so I don't really have that much of a desire to stick through the beta. I am glad to hear people are enjoying and I don't think that there is anything wrong with Destiny, but like Stotch said it's going to be one of those games that take a lot of time and my main goal right now is to finish my backlog. Your comment didn't warrant all this, but it was the perfect time to say all this stuff.Not playing destiny :0
Ha, out of the pissing match I've been reading about, this comment sticks out the most. That had to be the easiest game ever, in the history of easy. Quinoa platted it without a second controller. You're telling me you can't?Went for the plat on VF2...realized the goddamn Sudden Death one is near-impossible unless you have a 2nd controller, which I don't. So lame.
I think I remember Eldritch saying that he was going to go camping with his kid. At least, that's what I remember seeing in the AWD thread. Anyways, I'm starting the download of Destiny beta.Eldritch isn't in the top 20 today... I hope he is okay.
So if something is shaped like a mouth you would have to poop in it? I don't think that's going to sway Equistina to your corner... but who am I to say what she's into.I would have to poop in that.
Yep. In a clan with most of the members from a skype group chat. Only played the story missions from the beta, but I played a shit ton of the crucible in the alpha. I'll probably just hit max level and stick to playing the MP. Looks like they're going to test a mode where gear and stats are carried into the crucible, but I'm not really interested in that.Are you guys playing with friends? If so, how is the multiplayer?
It's a high score challenge type of game. If you can enjoy replaying maps over and over to beat friends times, it's quite good. But other than that, it's just kind of there.I actually finally got around to playing it today and found it thoroughly forgettable. I guess there aren't a lot of top-down racers on Playstation (or in general) but even then I'd have a hard time recommending it based on what I played (which to be fair wasn't a whole lot).
I think you may be the only person in the history of the world to say they prefer DMC2 to anything other than a shotgun blast to the face, and even then, that is 50/50.I think I remember Eldritch saying that he was going to go camping with his kid.

Just to go back on what was previously said. It also goes Bioshock 1 > 2 > Infinite for me. I just never saw Infinite as this mind-blowing masterpiece that happens to be the "BEST" game ever. I just hate how they changed everything I liked about Bioshock 1 and 2. From (I.E. Environment, Choice & Consequence, Non-Scripted Battles) to the opposite.
I only found the combat and moon walking to be fun in Bayonetta. Platinum has never been great when it comes to story, but they are great with action. Then again, I didn't exactly like Devil May Cry 1. Which happens to be made by the same guy.
For me, and that series, it goes DMC 3 > 2 > 1 and I can't even believe they made that Anime canon. Then you have the people who hate on DmC "It destroyed the existing canon". Ummm, no it didn't. It happens to be just like Dead Rising: Off The Record non-canon. DMC 4 happens to be up in the air with me. I hated how they basically made me play the game twice.
It's probably because everyone in the free world has 100% for VF2. So you're 11/12 is considered average in comparison. On other games, 10% of trophies popped is average, so it's still a C for that.BTW how the hell do rankings work? I have 11 of 12 VF2 trophies and am sitting at 71% and rank C. I've got other games I'm at 10% on and also have rank C. One at 5% rank C. idgi.
The game itself is easy, but I can't quite manage to completely avoid getting hit for 15 seconds in order to have the Sudden Death trigger. With the way backing up and jumping works, I just don't see how you can keep away from the enemy completely for that long, and getting hit once means you have to restart the set of 3 matches. Thinking about it now I was trying it on the 1st stage and 1 and 3 are smaller than the others. I'll try 2 to see if that's easier. If that doesn't work there must be some kind of trick to it I'm just not figuring out.Ha, out of the pissing match I've been reading about, this comment sticks out the most. That had to be the easiest game ever, in the history of easy. Quinoa platted it without a second controller. You're telling me you can't?
Ah, gotcha. It's relative grading instead of having some actual percentage of completion = a particular grade. 20% on OlliOlli gave me an A, and 5% on Sine Mora gave me a C, 25% on Catherine Gave me a C.

A little disappointed in my time. For some reason I got hung up on Round 4. After getting beat over and over again I wanted to switch characters and didn't realize it would start me back at Round 1. Beat Round 5 on my first try which only succeeded in pissing me off.

the letter grades are just another grading scale that psnprofiles uses. It isnt hard to figure out. The grades are comparing the %of trophies other players have to you. If the average of everyone playing the game is 50%of trophies then you will have a c grade if you have around 50% of the trophies as well.Ah, gotcha.

The whole approach to trophies is a bit off IMO.

I thought you might need more help since you finished your post saying it was hard to figure out and that something was off about trophies. I thought it was easy to see the letter grade was relative for each game and that each site has their own way of grading.I meant before the explanation I was quoting.
I almost feel like this should offend me :/Ha, out of the pissing match I've been reading about, this comment sticks out the most. That had to be the easiest game ever, in the history of easy. Quinoa platted it without a second controller. You're telling me you can't?
Who told you that? I've heard almost nothing but good things, and right now it's sitting as a close second behind Transistor for my GOTY.I've heard of a lot of 'meh' about the game, but so far, its pretty damn cool to me.
No, just ordered the paragraph a bit odd, so I can see how you were lead astray there.I thought you might need more help since you finished your post saying it was hard to figure out and that something was off about trophies.

Don't mind him. He doesn't even realize that VF2 has no plat. What a n00b.I almost feel like this should offend me :/
