XBLA - Perfect Dark - Now available - Controls/achievement patch out now

I'm down if it's early enough (we start before 9 EST). And I have both magnums. I also have the laser (which I think was another popular miss).
 
All right guys, after a few false starts it's time to do this for real: Perfect Dark game night this Wednesday, 10 PM Eastern/7 Pacific. Send me a friend request if you want to play. We should already have 4-5 people. Help us fill out the game so we don't have to invite TurtleSim!
 
[quote name='Spybreak8']Wow I really miss checkpoints.:bomb:Messed up or (didn't know what to do) at third objective on two missions tonight.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I found my old Versus Book strategy guide for the N64 version and I've had to look up how to complete a few objectives.
 
Might be difficult for the first month or so (I'll have to readjust my sleep schedule if I want in), but once May rolls around and I settle in the new apartment, I'm in for sure.
 
From Rare's Twitter, sounds like they'll be addressing most of the complaints in a few weeks:
#PerfectDark title update 2 set for late April! Achievement fixes, Southpaw & Legacy controls, Swap Triggers, aim sensitivity sliders... ...plus Solo & Team 'Hardcore' playlists (no radar or auto-aim). All issues investigated, some had too many knock-on effects to implement.

Yeah, Rare is pretty awesome.

I think the only modern shooter amenities I'd like to see in a future update are multiplayer kill messages (So-and-so killed MeatSim with Falcon 2, etc.) and a directional indicator when you get shot. Otherwise the gameplay's still fine as-is, ten years later.

fuck YEAH!!!! Best news I heard in awhile. Yes, I'm one of those gamers who can't play for crap without legacy controls and it's because of Perfect Dark why I can't play any other controls other than Legacy. I'm glad Rare decided to to say "F*** You Guys" to us legacy players.
 
Anyone have any suggestions on how to beat Challenge 16, stupid Bot kills me every time and I only killed him like 2 times maximum.
 
What I did for Challenge 16 was run to the side of the Facility that has the long corridor and bottling rooms to the sides. There's a shield behind the door at one end of the corridor, and in the locker room at the other end there's a SuperDragon and some ammo. Once you get these, you can just camp out right outside the shield room and shoot SuperDragon grenades at the sim when he tries to open the door from the locker room.

If you want extra insurance, go to the room on your right (when facing the locker room) and get some proximity mines to put just outside the locker room door.

Occasionally the sim will just give up and stop coming after you, so as long as you have a point advantage you can just wait it out. :)

I had trouble too. What I did was, I went to the one room where the proxy mines were (there's two giant blue cylinder type things in the room iirc). I basically hid behind the one and layered the door with proxy mines so anytime he opened up the door, he'd blow up. Worked 9 times out of 10.

Yeah hmm every time I put down proxy mines the AI knew and wouldn't just walk in.
 
Hopefully I can make it tonight. Trying to adjust my sleep for today so I haven't gone to sleep yet and I'll (hopefully) be waking up shortly before 10.

sounds like you should throw one just outside on the ground so he walks over it! i did that a couple times when he wouldn't enter

its funny you guys mention this i did the same thing. he actually made it through one time and i was like ahhhh running around like a headless chicken trying not to die. it was fun.
 
And then the one time he survives you throw proxy mines directly at him like a madman hoping to survive, yes? I know I did. :razz:
 
With those first two games (combined 3 kills and 24 deaths) I was afraid I was going to do awful. Feels good to shake the rust off and adjusting my sleep was well worth it. :D
 
i'll be down to play some Perfect Dark with you guys, can't seem to find much games online
also everyone always plays the first mission for counter-co op, its annoying lol
:( can't get that achievement for the firing range, i got all bronze :/
 
Preview of the new control options coming this month:

As far as game nights go, are there other nights that work better for people? It was a little disappointing that after all the pre-release hype for the game, only five people showed up.
 
For the next month at least, I have to adjust my sleep for that day if I want in, but I can do any. Wouldn't prefer Monday or Sunday though although it wouldn't really matter.
 
got banned from ign yesterday, got banned from gamespot yesterday, have a final exam today. i should play perfect dark tonight to calm down

go to google images and type " John Ashcroft Porn " (posted that, not that bad if you ask me,) you can't say CRAP on gamespot without getting a suspension

More update tidbits from Rare:

More #PerfectDark title update bits: Gamma setting! Lock Sight option! Laptop sentry mode fix! Local Combat Sim handicap! Longer explosions!
Click to expand...

I'm all for longer explosions. Lock Sight is confusing, though. They say it means static crosshairs, but aren't they already static? Maybe I'm missing something.

Is anyone going to be around this Wednesday to play?
 
I plan to be around. Hopefully others are as well. Last wednesday caused me to go to depression with nobody on.

Also, with the longer explosions, I might have to make some references. For instance, tonight, long stick goes boom. ;)
 
I'm stuck and I've been stuck for the solo campaign for some time (ah I love just messing around in combat). Yeah on Mission 9, the Skedar Ruins, and I can't for the life of me break the wall to gain access. Can anyone tell me what to do? I'm talking about the wall with the crack in it that's like sort of a cave entrance.
