Could be worse. Could be like Beyond Good & Evil. You can invert the Y-axis, sure - but it also inverts the X-axis. There is nothing you can do to stop this. Either everything is inverted or nothing is. Somehow, that just feels more annoying to me.

Speaking of HD ports, I beat God of War: Chains of Olympus and it was good, but really there are things that were forgivable on the PSP that are less so in a PS3 game. Really, is makes you appreciate just how well the original games were made. One thing that happens alot is you'll be put in arenas where the enemies can either walk in front of or out of site of the camera (hell, even the boss of the game does this). this is something that never happened in the original games. The camera was pretty much always placed so you could see where the enemies were at all time (which is no easy feet in a game with no camera controls). There's also a bunch of small flaws. The game constantly put checkpoints before unskippable cut scenes, so if the battle it tough, you will have to watch it again and again. Once again, this is present at the boss of the game, and there's even a trophy for watching said cut scene three times, so at that point it feels like they're rubbing your face in it. It still is a solid, fun God of War game that frankly has a more interesting plot than it's console brethren but it was kind of better of on a portable where most of it's flaws would be overshadowed by the fact that they somehow fit a God of War game on a portable.

I've been avoiding the Deus Ex thread for obvious reasons, but I did have a question. I asked Yodzilla earlier and he gave me a solid answer but he himself sounded uncertain about its accuracy. I'm at the (only read if you've beaten the game because then you're definitely farther than me!) Part where I went to Singapore in a pod and disabled the G-P-L Scrambler. I'm hunting 3 signals of the kidnapped scientists. How much further do I have of straight up campaign? I'm trying to wrap this poo poo up before Thursday on limited game time. Thanks!

I know in the logical part of my brain that even if it doesn't arrive tomorrow, I have a bunch of other games to play, in this case it's a game I've already played and in the long run I won't even remember if it arrived on time once I actually get it but there's this much louder part of my brain that wants it nooooowwwwwww  This will be even worse with Arkham City and Saint's Row 3, which I got for $45 off of New Egg but had to get standard shipping.

Policenaut posted:You're very close to the end of the game. After you finish up with that, you head off to the final area of the game If you made the choice the frustrating way - suggestion for that boss fight (mostly spoiler-free, but still spoilered just in case): the boss stays in the center, mostly, and there are only two paths through the center. Run around the periphery, and use audio queues to determine which of the two paths he's on, and huck a grenade dead-center into that path. Odds are good you'll hit, he'll be visible and stunned, and then you can lay into him with rockets, the laser rifle, etc. Or if you're using rockets period, you can skip the grenade, but the laser rifle won't stun him the same way. EM grenades seemed to do nothing at all, but it was hard to tell. The little boxes you run by are usable (easy to miss, again, depending on the earlier choice you made), and one contains a laser rifle, if you have no heavy-hitting weapons to use once the dude is stunned. He throws grenades and shoots a very heavy-hitting gun, and the grenade toss has a distinct sound - which you can easily hear even if you made the frustrating choice. So stun him, take a few pot shots, then get moving again the second you hear the grenades, or see him aiming his gun / not being stunned. EDIT: VV Yes. You'll know the second the boss fight hits, there is no reason to spoil it. EDIT2: and I have no grenade launcher, and I am past that boss fight

Don't you get the grenade launcher shortly before that boss? That'd make the fight last about four seconds.

DOUBLE CLICK HERE posted:Don't you get the grenade launcher shortly before that boss? That'd make the fight last about four seconds. The Girlboss fight was interesting. I was having trouble with her until I figured out (ie: remembered) that I had the Typhoon system installed. The trick is, timing it right. 3 hits of that when she's rushing will kill her, BUT if she gets too far into her splosion routine, you can "reproducably" hard lock your PS3. (I did it like 3 times in a row, lol.) While I'm here, let me ask. I have that 2-person melee takedown upgrade. But I've never used it. How do you use it? Just do a takedown on a guy, when another guy is NEAR the guy you are taking down? Whats the general range?

Yeah, if there's another guy reasonably close, take one guy down and he'll go after both in the "cutscene". Not sure what the range is but I've activated it with the other guy a few steps away at least.

Samurai Sanders posted:I guess we've talked about this in this thread before, but an ideal situation is when the game delivers you story stuff while you are playing. I hope for a future where games never have a period of time where you just set your controller down and watch. Japanese games have the furthest to go in this regard but a lot of Western games are guilty too. The problem there is that while it's a nice idea in theory, delivering story stuff while playing tends to be troublesome. If it's important stuff, you don't want it getting lost amongst the action of the game or else you'll have people who missed something important because it was revealed while they were fighting a thousand Swarmtroopers. And the alternate choice, slow down the action while important things are happening, is dumb. It's exactly what gives us "Issac Clarke stands quietly while the guy behind the invincible glass rants at him" syndrome. Cutscenes, when used well, provide a convenient break the action while also being something that can be skipped on future replays or by those who don't care about the plot. The problem is when they're unskippable, too lengthy or too frequent.

Oh, I think that slowing down the game from time to time is fine, and it should coincide with story delivery. Games like Uncharted did it the best I think, where the talky parts were while you were climbing or something that didn't require your full concentration. I definitely prefer that to just putting the controller down.
