Speedball posted:The Bloodrayne demo is pretty fun, I gotta say. Anyone play the full version give us some feedback? Where in the game does the demo end at? There are some tough platforming sections and bosses. Other than that, it's a standard 2D hack-n-slash platform game. It's not a "metroidvania" game. The game is good, but there is very little replay value after the game is finished. It's not worth $15. Get it on sale if you like these types of games.

Kilometers Davis posted:From reviews it seems like it's basically the same thing the entire time. That's why I passed. That's kind of bullshit. It doesn't suddenly become a new genre but each level is designed pretty differently and has different obstacles and such. You don't get many new weapons or abilities (only two) but the levels are markedly different. It's the 'same the whole way through' in the same way that like, Castlevania or Ninja Gaiden or Strider is. It doesn't really have replay value unless you enjoy score attacks tho'.

The weird thing about it though is apparently the story doesn't acknowledge the second player at all other than one bit at the very beginning.

Well I just found a gamebreaking glitch in No More Heroes. During Dark Star's motorcycle sequence, I hit a box, and instead of spazzing out of control for a second and then regaining it, I completely fell off the bike and was forced to go into combat mode with my katana, similar to what happens in Bad Girl's stage. I ran along and got hit by one of the enemy biker's flame attacks, and that instantly spawned me back on the bike, turned in the opposite direction and stuck in a never-ending "Oh God i'm on fire" animation.

That unfortunately will happen, the game is buggy, and Pandemic were fired as soon as the game went gold, so the game couldn't be patched. Worth all the headaches though, it's just a shame they all lost their jobs on the eve of their best release.

They are playing it safe right now with their games; S-E does not want to take risks and believes that the FFXIII series is a very safe return on their investment currently. They can make quite a bit if money on making this into a multiple game series. Of course if XIII-2 turns out to not do well, then you won't see 13-3.

BMB5150 posted:This Resistance is from the main studio in Burbank. The Raleigh studio is working on the Ratchet and Clank game right now. I also fear that this may be a bit short unless when you get to New York there is hours more of gameplay from where I'm at and going into the tower making the wormhole. Yeah, I figured as much with the Studios. There were different people in charge though according to wikipedia, so that's probably why. Also I just finished it and I was right, way too short. Game needs about 4-8 hours more to it. My playtime was 7 hours 43 minutes and I combed most of the levels looking for intel, so it can probably easily be done in 7 if you hurry a bit. It was really awesome though, albeit the Half-Life 2 vibes were pretty drat strong (granted that's not necessarily bad). The game also has a ton of trophies (59) that are all in the campaign, so there's some argument for playing through it a few times if you're not into the multiplayer. At any rate it's a great rental just for the campaign alone. Edit: gently caress, I need a lot more credit points to buy all the behind the scenes videos...

I finished it earlier and zipped through it in 6 and half hours. Probably play through it on easy to get some of the trophies for the movies. Even though the game seems influenced by Half Life 2, I would say it ma it better.

New York and the bit beyond is easily the hardest part of the game. I hate that I did the guide for that game. I simply can't look at it anymore; I'm utterly disgusted by the sight of it.

I can understand it becoming a pain when where loving everything is either a) a rocket launching hybrid or b)one of those leaping hybrids with a sniper rifle (and not to mention the 3 stalkers and 2 goliaths up your rear end at the end of New York.) Sometimes I was amazed that I made it out alive and only once died in the same area twice (and that area wasn't the place it was just a little bit later on).

OK, I think I'm giving up on Saboteur. It was fun for a while, but now it's turned into some serious bullshit combined with some serious bugs. I'm on this one mission that's annoyingly long, and now I'm in the part where I'm riding in the gunner turret of a truck that's being driven by the worst AI while being chased by a shitload of nazis, and I have to shoot them and prevent he truck from being blown up. Will, the bullet spread is annoying large, the truck swerves all over the place so I can't keep my sights on the enemy vehicles, and the damage being dealt to the truck is absurd (probably on account of the difficulty setting). I can't beat it. To top it off, an NPC is apparently located nearby all this carnage and is sometimes getting killed by the nazis, which instantly fails the mission for me. There's nothing I can do to stop them or anything since I'm on rails and I can't even see him or anything. It's just "THIS GUY DIED YOU FAILED" which is loving great.

I'm beginning to lose my patience with Just Cause 2 as well. Having to do a thousand and one menial tasks to unlock the next mission is beyond tedious, especially when no individual thing I do seem to have any impact on the unlock bar. Does The Saboteur get any more interesting than "start with the whole place in black and white, then slowly complete missions so it's in colour again"? That's all I really gleaned from it, and I'm unsure I'd like it if all it did was that for the whole game. It's the same reason I traded in Shadows of the Damned.

I can't beat it. I think that vehicle turret sequence was the only time in the game I lowered the difficulty. Also, for some reason the game just puts Dr. Kwong in the path of moving vehicles during that mission and all you can do is cross your fingers that he doesn't get hit. That was really the only major low point in the game for me. If you keep with it, though, the ending is pretty great.

I'm not sure what else you're expecting. There is a whole story and character progression to go along with the B&W to colour change business. That bit is supposed to be a metaphor and a cool visual effect, not the point of the game. Sure, the story is a bit corny and chock-full of stereotypes, but I liked it. The Saboteur is unironically one of my favourite games of this generation. I feel almost bad you guys aren't digging it.

I'm pretty sure you can change the difficulty in-game, why don't you just turn it down? The game is better played on an easier difficulty anyway, avoid some of the bullshit and get to focus on killing Nazis.

Saboteur has some really fun characters (and the best main character ever), good music, generally solid gameplay, and is honestly one of the most satisfying games I've played this generation. They also use the color changes in a few really great ways, thematically. You should definitely give it a rental at least.

I'm not sure what shooting/adventure games to get, help me out! In general with games I don't like learning curves, I just get impatient and drop it. And if the mechanics of moving or shooting or whatever are "annoying" (like, Uncharted, I couldn't get into) I get frustrated pretty quick. I like good stories but not ones that take up much time or have a bunch of uninteresting complexity and names to memorize I'm thinking bulletstorm, killzone 3, maybe Resistance?

So supposedly all you need to do to get Uncharted 3 multiplayer a month early from Subway is to buy ONE drink. What the poo poo? -The multiplayer officially starts on September 29th at 12:00pm EST. -The free multiplayer ends on November 13th at 12:00am EST. -If you buy a drink, you will get the MP code. You have to redeem this code before November 1st to get the MP. -If you buy a sandwich or some chips, you can get either a Uncharted 3 Dynamic Theme Fortune Hunter Bounty Multiplayer Drake Character Skin Multiplayer Weapon Skin Virtual Costumes for PlayStation® Home

It's really loving hard, and requires a lot of luck. Just memorize the positions of things and pray for good luck. :/ The rest of the game is totally worth that bullshit though, I promise. Also, that loving NPC. He got me a few times. e. Also, if I recall, it's a good idea to fire in short bursts and aim at the drivers of the cars to disable them. Also later on, I want to say some cars have machine gunners hanging out the sides, take them down too obviously. I think killing drivers disables those bastard Gestapo machine gunner cars, which were my biggest problem by far.
