Hahhahahaha, I don't want to drag this thread back to ME3-chat but I just wanted to drop in and say you guys were sort of right! The ending is really bad in so many ways. Some I was sort of expecting and some that I wasn't. I still don't think it's "complain about it for weeks until they change it" bad, but it's certainly one of the worst in recent memory. Mostly I was just laughing through the latter half of it because SOMEONE THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA! Possibly multiple people! Oh well, time to get some YAKUZA ZOMBIE MURDER in before I do my renegade vanguard playthrough.

Samurai Sanders posted:No jokes, this is all the ending really needs to become at least acceptable. Seriously - change the music, make it look a little flashier, cut some of the fourth-wall jokes, maybe have it play in the sidebars during the (long-rear end) end credits and it would squash 90% of the complaints. Literally 10-20 minutes of epilogue giving just some sense of 'life goes on' closure to the game would have changed so much.

Ok, just played a game of versus, and I think I am hooked on ORC. There is just poo poo everywhere. I have only seen zombies and hunters so far and they are easy enough to run from but when there is the opposite team to contend with, things get hectic.

I have only seen zombies and hunters so far and they are easy enough to run from but when there is the opposite team to contend with, things get hectic. ORC gets really god drat crazy when the bigger monsters show up. Earlier today I was playing a round of team deathmatch on that gas station map and right in the middle of this big shootout with all 8 players, this Mr. X tyrant just lumbers into the middle of it and all these lickers start pouncing around. So everyone just panics and flees in random directions while still trying to shoot at each other. It's really interesting to see what happens because a lot of the monsters are randomly generated, so sometimes you get games where its just zombies and there's no problem and then you get some where Hunters spawn in at the start and you're dealing with them more than the other team. After spending the day with it online, I think Slant Six designed this to be online-only and was forced to add a single player by Capcom. That's the only reason I can think of as to why the campaign is SO BAD yet the online turned out good.

But the multi is just so much better. I kind of wish there was a survival mode where its your 4 guys against other AI humans with monsters thrown in between, but I have only seen a handful of game modes. Also the characters aren't balanced that well at all. Some of them have comically useless special abilities.

You can't expect an entire forum to cater to you when you are on a mobile device. This thread is for discussing the PS3 version of games, and that's what everyone is doing. This thread is dynamic, the conversation changes constantly, sometimes multiple conversations, about different games are going on at once. That means discussion of games that already have threads, is going to take place, but that's how its been since forever, and no ones really complained.

So if you can't handle it, turn off your internet until you finish the game. Samurai Sanders posted:Oh, spoilers under spoiler tags. I thought you meant uncovered spoilers.

Dark Souls is getting ready to be announced for the PC, can anybody speculate on how the game would control with mouse/keyboard? Will the online features of the game be better/worse on the PC? Is there a potential for mods, or would they really be necessary? I've held off getting this game for the PS3 because it hasn't met my price point yet for the experience that the game provides. I've read most of the threads and discussion about the game, but just haven't taken the plunge yet because I'm becoming an older cranky gamer that is starting to get set in his ways.  I never thought I'd get like this at 30...

Will the online features of the game be better/worse on the PC? Is there a potential for mods, or would they really be necessary? Dark Souls with a solid framerate would be worth the price of admission alone, and it seems like the type of game that would lend itself pretty well to mouse and keyboard. There's plenty of ways they could gently caress up a PC port but we'll have to wait and see.

The app is nothing more than a brick wall, which will seemingly be broken down once it reaches enough likes. While we'd like to think the wall hides a stack of delicious, fluffy pancakes, evidence points to the impending announcement of a PC version.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcTmGUfPvrs This has me considerably more excited that Mod Nation. (Though, it's by the same developer United Front). There seems to be much more versatility in the tools available to creators, and the LBP aesthetic trumps MNR's scenic blandness. [PlayStation Blog Post]

The LBP Racer looks like fun to play, kinda what Modnation Racers was aiming to be. Hopefully the load times aren't too long, but makes me wonder what is going to happen to MNR brand. It's probably going to the side now that the series developer is using another series as its springpoint. And also what IS Media Molecule doing at the moment? Aren't they working on a new IP or am I mistaken?

Holy poo poo, LittleBigPlanet Karting looks even better than I thought it would. So excited for that game! United Front know how to make an excellent (and most importantly, well balanced) kart racer, so if they can avoid the loading problems that Modnation had this will easily skyrocket to being the best in the genre  As for what Media Molecule are up to, I can't say I'd be surprised if they were busy working on some fancy PS4 launch title to be honest. I'd imagine that Sony would want their best developers (Media Molecule, Naughty Dog, Polyphony Digital) all busying away on launch games for late 2013 or whenever. We know the Uncharted 3 team is working on something for PS4 now, and we know Polyphony Digital is working on Gran Turismo 6 so it's a safe assumption I think. I suspect that games such as The Last of Us, God of War 4, LittleBigPlanet Karting, Killzone 4(maybe?) and Quantic Dream's new project will be the last hurrah for the PS3 probably (along with The Last Guardian maybe?) kinda like Halo 4 will be for the Xbox 360.

Hmm, I'm thinking there will be a few more exclusives than that before they bring out PS4 in all honesty, obviously tech development is gonna be a huge part of the first-party studios in the coming months and year but Sony will defintly want the PS3 to last as long as possible like the PS2 has done. I think of lot of developers want to do the same as well as the tech jumps between consoles are starting to hurt them financially.

I finally picked up Hard Rain. The graphics/engine and ability to deliver the story is really impressive. Closest to an interactive movie that I've seen yet. Its a shame that I suspect the plot will not make all the tedious door opening and child rearing I'm having to do worthwhile. Regardless, I'm digging it so far and am impressed with the vision and scope of the game. Also, Journey is awesome.

I had hope for Mod Nation Racers, then it played like complete poo poo. No idea what weapons are which, you have to power them up while sliding, and then manage a turbo meter, block other peoples weapons, all while trying to RACE! All on very bland tracks that look very similar. It was not good. I hope LBP Karting fixes all those things. It has a lot of promise.
