The only thing that sucked about Uncharted 1 was throwing grenades with the sixaxis.

I don't understand the hate for the final boss. I mean, he wasn't exciting, but I wouldn't call him terrible. Shoot at him while he fires ineffective shotgun rounds, duck for the one lethal round, repeat until he flees. It's the problem with putting a boss in a game with no bosses.

I didn't even mind the SixAxis grenade throwing all that much in UC1 (although UC2 and 3's way of doing it was obviously better) and I owe UC1 for turning me from a fumbling jackass into a master at manual aiming and shooting in games. I played through it recently preparing for UC3 and it holds up really well. It's shadowed by the sequels of course, but overall it's really solid and fun as long as you keep mobile during gunfights.Crows Turn Off posted:No, you can definitely turn it off.

Stare-Out posted:In UC1? Did they add that or something, because I very clearly remember not being able to do it in that game. I think the ability to turn it off was later patched in when they realized how much everyone hate the sixaxis. On a not even related to the PS3 note, I'm currently playing Ar Tonelico II because I think someone in here said it was good. I really want to hate this game but god damnit it's just so fun. It really might be one of the creepiest games I've ever played though. Thinly veiled references to deflowering a 10 year old girl are...not cool. Not cool at all. All the thinly veiled creepiness is not helped by the fact that the translation is one of the worst I've seen in a long, long time. Still, I'm playing it and despite all my better instincts I'm having fun. If I made it through Hyperdimension Neptunia, I can make it through a game that's actually fun.

UC1's was frustrating and took forever, and for all the wrong reasons... but, once you figured it out, it really wasn't that hard. You just had to realize that they completely broke/changed the game's mechanics in that sequence. They threw in one-shot kills with tells that you HAD to dodge, and you had to focus on that rather than on the enemies. UC2's, though... gently caress. That. poo poo. There is no strategy for that bastard other than "run like hell in the opposite direction, hoping his AI picks the path you expect, hoping some of your tossed grenades hit him, and if they do, maybe you've got a window of 5 seconds to shoot him." I blew hours on him, and the winning bout took something like a half hour of constant running. Shalinor fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Dec 16, 2011 |

I spent most of my 'crushing' run just dreading having to fight that fucker again. Closest I've come to breaking a controller in twenty years. UC3 is in the hands of my wife awaiting Christmas, but I'm praying to God that there's no jarringly changed mechanic at the end game again.

Ar tonelico II is extremely "goddammit Japan" but also really, really fun. It's too bad the PS3 sequel undid pretty much everything good AT2 did (except for the excellent music).

I never had much trouble with Uncharted 2's final boss. I just ran a wide circle around the area, and only took potshots when I was safe. This strategy worked well even on my Crushing playthrough. I disliked and had more trouble with Uncharted 1's final boss. I actually had to look up a video of how to beat it because I kept trying to shoot him and getting myself killed.

I really like the more minimalist covers for FF in Japan and wish we didn't have to post CG models on everything to get people to pick up a box.

UC3's final boss was almost too easy compared to the previous games.

Really, eveen then only the first blue meanie fight is that hard. The second one gives you ready access to a Gatling gun and a crossbow (which can kill them in two hits) and the third one gives you access to the other two and an RPG. The first one is probably the hardest fight in the game though.

So I'm trying out Gotham City Imposters thanks to a code I got from Gamespot. It's a bit rough around the edges but I'm having a whole lot of fun.

The netcode and matching system, however, is complete rear end. The game is especially beta in that area. Anyone know if the game is meant to be a boxed title or a downloadable? I really can't see myself paying $60 for this, but if it's $15 on XBLA/PSN, very interested.

You know, I hated the UC1 demo, but I'm probably going to go buy the UC1 and 2 combo pack soon. You fuckers had better be right. Also, any reason to play SR3 on hardest difficulty? I didn't see hard difficulty trophies. I'm early enough still that I could easily restart if there's a good reason.

I'm terrible at shooting games and I would say in games at general but thus far the Uncharted series has been a pleasant experience on Normal setting. The game just clicked and felt refined to me. However, I'm one of those people who enjoyed Assassin's Creed 1 as well.

bleep posted:It is not a good shooting game, and there is a lot of shooting. You can shoot through walls if you aim out of cover because of the way the aiming works, making the cover system useless. If you are curious about seeing the story before you try the much better Uncharted 2, exploiting that quirk makes the game fast and easy on any difficulty. That worked! As soon as I ignored the cover system the shooty bits went from tedious to a minor annoyance. Now the story has gotten to the "twist" and I'm loving it. Thanks bleep

Especially in Uncharted 1, I was constantly wondering where the hell they were GETTING all these mercs, and what they were paying them to charge blindly into death by the hundreds, all for some buried treasure. In 2, the scale of everything was way the hell bigger so I could more easily believe that they had the budget to throw away people like that.

Sorry to interrupt the Uncharted talk, but how is Little Big Planet (2) and Modnation Racers? I own Little Big Planet 1 and 2 as well as Modnation Racers but haven't played much of any of them except LBP 1 and I wasn't thrilled with it because of the floaty jumping. Are the communities for these games still around? Are they worth playing? Did LBP2 improve at all on LBP1? Will Modnation Racers fill my Mario Kart HD itch? (I have TONS of games on my backlog so even though I purchase a lot of them, some of them just don't get played) EDIT: Feel free to recommend any other games that I can play in short bursts or upgrade things, heh.

Download-only, and it's meant to be fairly cheap as I understand it (though no price has been officially set). I really dug the traversal stuff, and the little quips the guys have and the tutorial videos are hilarious. What's available in the beta? The stuff we played at a little event last week was pretty limited, but it looked like there was plenty of room for unlocks and whatnot. The challenges especially were really addictive.

Vinlaen posted:Sorry to interrupt the Uncharted talk, but how is Little Big Planet (2) and Modnation Racers? The somewhat float-y controls from the first game have been more fine tuned in Little Big Planet 2, and I believe you can also adjust floatiness as an option from your pop up screen. The graphics in LBP2 are also much cleaner, and there's a lot more tools as well. I haven't played much of the user generated levels but they've hit 5 million made so even if a tiny percentage of that is good you'll have a lot of levels to play through. If there's another game I can recommend for short bursts Saints Row 3 has some fast paced missions, and you can upgrade your Boss character with abilities. It'll be a lot easier to recommend stuff if you maybe talk a bit more about what games you've enjoyed before
