gently caress you Koei. I get to the last mission in Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3. One mission away from the platinum trophy, and what am I rewarded with for all my efforts slogging through all this game's tedious trophies? A total pile of bullshit. Half a dozen ace pilots that can teleport from nowhere and kill me in two hits even with a maxed out pilot and the best Gundam in the game. I have a limit to how much bullshit i'll endure for a platinum trophy, and this game broke it.

It was really repetitive. It felt like an old videogame boss fight. Oh you are kicking my rear end? Well how about I up the challenge and throw more grenades! The UC1 final boss fight was better than that one.

ChetReckless posted:I've heard that CoD has become very same-y with each new release, which is one reason why I don't know if I'll pick it up this time around. There are going to be too many cool games this fall/winter to buy the same game as last year. I'm kinda hoping that Uncharted 3's multiplayer may scratch that itch instead. (I realize that U3's multiplayer isn't drastically different from U2's either, but U3 will also likely have a mind-blowing single player, and that tips the balances.) Right there with you. I bought COD4, MW2, and Black Ops. Really looking forward to UC3 co-op (I hope they have the same/better adventure missions), and enjoyed the Subway Beta. IF I get MW3, it'll be for like $20. Until then, I'll occasionally dip into Nazi Zombies. I played multiplayer Black Ops everyday for two months straight, and I'm just sick of it. edit: oh and WaW, but that was WWII at least BlindNinja fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Oct 21, 2011 |

In general I'm not a big fan of last boss fights (and sometimes the run-up to them too where they start throwing ridiculously durable enemies at you), they are rarely anywhere near as fun for me as other parts of the game. I guess Uncharted is no exception. I'm still on the fence about 3. I enjoyed 2 but at the same time, thinking back, I hardly remember any of it. It felt like playing a well-done but still not very memorable action movie. But then, compared to what I take away from games like Dark and Demon's Souls, almost every game feels that way.

Complain all you want about the boss, but the rest of the game was amazing. My favorite part is the gunfight in collapsing building, right before the helicopter fight.

Am I the only one that thought the final boss of U2 was incredibly easy? All you need to do is run and shoot the explosive stuff and you win.

Yes, best parts were definitely the set piece/fights, another one is in Nepal with the tank, you and Sully have to run from it and fight through the mercs. Pretty intense.

The parts I remember from 2 are - climbing through the train as it slipped off the cliff - fighting tanks in the Tibetan town - swimming in the swimming pool on top of the hotel going "Marco!!" ...that's really about it. In retrospect it wasn't enough to justify a purchase for me, I think.

Samurai Sanders posted:The parts I remember from 2 are ... so if you're saying that Uncharted isn't a series for you - totally understood. But if you're saying Uncharted 1 was more worthy of your money, you might want to give it another go / check for rose tinted glasses. As it stands, it rates pretty high in terms of sequels that raise the bar for a series. EDIT: VV Ah, gotcha. Yeah, it's pretty much just a solidly put together character action game with a decent plot, and excellent graphics. But, the graphics of Uncharted 1 probably seemed more impressive at the time, compared to... the not a whole lot else that was pushing the PS3.

Man, Uncharted 2 was a hell of a game. The train thing, the tank scene, fighting that damned helicopter, the other train thing, the snow level (which I found weirdly scary)...I'm sure I'm leaving bits out. Might need to do a speed run on both Uncharted's before 3. After Batman. And DX. And hopefully before Assassins Creed.

I hit the ice cave ruins or whatever in Uncharted 2 and lost interest. Everything was light blue and I couldn't find my way through, plus I'd been losing interest throughout. Kind of a shame because I do like the game, but I get the feeling if I picked it back up I'd just put it right back down.

I would consider the ice caves a "break" if you so call it. Not very crazy (yeah I know haha, the monster) but after that it picks back up. It gets a bit hectic again.

I couldn't find where to go next after a good half an hour or so of searching. It's kind of offputting considering they even poke fun at bland brown environments yet that entire section is just bright, light blue everything and the path isn't even remotely readable in parts.

There were a few areas in Uncharted 2 where I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out what ledge I had to grab onto as well. But that whole ice section for me was just so atmospheric, and it was great Hangin' With Tenzen.

I just beat LA Noire. God drat, once it all came together, it was really amazing and the story was really good. I'm confused about one of the trophies though. Killing people using every weapon in the game. Did I need to kill someone using the flamethrower? Because if so, there was never an opportunity to do so. Edit: Nevermind, that wasn't it. No idea what guns I'm missing. Jamesman fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Oct 22, 2011 |

There are a few confusing parts in the ice cave but you're always in a small area with a limited amount of possible ways to go, not really hard just to look around to find a ledge.

Yeah, I'm sure it's something like this. I had been playing the game for a few hours and was getting pretty tired of it when I hit that spot, so it probably didn't help. I'm just going to watch the LP going of it instead though.

I guess Uncharted is no exception. Boss fights are good in games that are actually structured around having bosses. The problem comes when you have a game like Uncharted which has no bosses until the very end of the game. I mean there are plenty of games where the Boss battles are the best part, but those games are the ones where bosses feel like a part of the game rather than something that was thrown in because you feel the developer felt they had to. It's really odd because I don't really recall this really being a problem until this gen.

This is probably not a revelation to anyone in here, but Batman: Arkham City is an absolute masterpiece. It's basically everything you could want from a sequel and unbelieveably, the combat is actually even better (which I for one thought was impossible).

I love the Batclaw combat move where he pulls a guy, clothslines them and then when the guy is in the air he SLAMS him into the ground. I also learned last night to not throw batarangs at Tyger choppers. They don't enjoy it and will open fire.

Shalinor posted:So, Rocketbirds on PSN. Did anyone buy the full version? This is from a page or so ago but I can't believe how bad this game was (at least the demo). I'm a sucker for games with style and this game has that up the wazoo but the gameplay was atrocious. The movement felt really jerky the the gunplay was unbelievably dull. I don't think I've seen a game with worse gunplay. I kind of gave up on the rocket section because, while it seemed to control a little better, the camera was awful. I also kind of hated the music and didn't think it fit the game at all.

I vaguely remember a tip in the PS3 thread at the time being to not use the cover system and just stand around corners on a really steep angle so as not to expose your self to fire.

dishwasherlove posted:I vaguely remember a tip in the PS3 thread at the time being to not use the cover system and just stand around corners on a really steep angle so as not to expose your self to fire. Yeah, Uncharted like many third person shooters doesn't actually check to make sure the gun you're shooting isn't obstructed. So you can just stand in front of a wall or pillar, pull the gun out, and aim the crosshair to make shots that are physically impossible. That's what I did for 1's crushing difficulty anyway on the second time playing through that difficulty. Bizarrely enough, enemies that shoot at you while you're doing this can sometimes still hit you even though you're behind a solid wall. Probably just the universe trying to balance things out.

I don't know what other guns you might have missed, but the one that I missed which threw me for a loop was the handgun you get at the start of the game when you're a beat cop. I think your only chance to use it is during the bank robbery in the intro stuff, and you have to purposefully ditch the shotgun to use it.
