Without going into NDA-breaking detail, can anyone who has been regularly playing Dust 514 beta tell me if there have been any strides made in general "quality-of-experience" aspects? When I tried the game a few weeks ago it felt janky as poo poo.

Yeah, I've been marathoning the crap out of it since I beat the game on Extreme. I seriously just want to get it out of the way at this point. Midway through Tuxedo Snake now. After this I think I might just play a game I've already beaten a billion times to cool off and relax, because this trophy... I think the only plat I've heard of that's harder is the White Knight Chronicles series. Mustach posted:If you can beat the game on Extreme, most missions won't be too bad for you. But good luck on Pliskin's last grenade mission and MGS1 Snake's first variety mission. That loving grenade mission was awful. The blocks just keep disappearing when my grenades would explode, and the RBG6 has less ammo than they normally give- not that it loving matters, since the platform is so hard to aim onto that it didn't matter anyway. Worse, though? Snake's sniper mission to protect Meryl. 26 soldiers gradually descending onto her at varying speeds over two minutes, with just one man and a ton of bullets to help her. I did it over 50 times before I actually won. A lot of these missions are just a test by Konami to see how insane and/or determined the playerbase is. Now you've got me scared for MGS1 Snake's first variety mission.

Anyone here getting the Ni No Kuni Wizard's Edition? I've read this is a Club Namco exclusive, and was wondering if I have to pay for the game in full to preorder. Your help is appreciated.

Online trophies should be illegal. Seriously, what are you supposed to do once the servers are taken down? Those things only last for a couple of years unless it's CoD or something.

A developer could do this, but I mean if they are taking a server down, then they don't care to support the game anymore, so I don't see why they would ever release a patch. Metal Gear Solid 4 being the only exception i've ever personally heard of, but maybe there are others.

They should put a quickie patch in that just gives you the online trophies. It's the least they could do for people that now owned a game with a larg chunk of content missing.

You people care about trophies (and similar) way too much. I think the fact that taking down servers means you can't play the game online anymore is a way bigger issue that not getting some dumb achievements.

I've been trying to find a FPS with a good single player campaign mode. While I did like Killzone 2 and 3 and Resistance 1,2, and 3, MW3 and BLOPS just didn't do it for me. I felt that alot of times the action was far too scripted and with the vehicle segments it felt way too much on the rails. I had a few issues with how the plot unfolded and in many parts I found it groan inducing. The military jargon filled dialogue aside, they just didn't feel like the other good single player camapigns I've played before in first person shooters like Half Life and such. Also I can't get the mental imagry of The Black Ops cover out of my head. The cover image looks like the guy is sitting on a toilet in the mens bathroom pooping and every few minutes you hear a "blops".

Now that you mention it, I can't unsee it. Thanks a lot. As for your FPS thing, it's a very flawed game, but the only other FPS I actually own on my consoles is Far Cry 2. Everything else I have are third person shooters.

I think this would be a really good idea; they could atleast give them a separate trophy pool. I'll never get 100% on games like AC: Brotherhood because I just didn't enjoy the online portion of the game. Admiral H. Curtiss posted:You people care about trophies (and similar) way too much. I think the fact that taking down servers means you can't play the game online anymore is a way bigger issue that not getting some dumb achievements. They're something to do in recreational time when I'm really, really bored. I often like to work towards goals, and I like playing games. It's kind of like performing a personal high score- sure, no one else may see it, but I'm given the personal satisfaction of knowing I have "mastered" a game. For games like Demon's Souls, that is a terrific feeling. It feels good to have a favorite game and feel like I know it inside out. I try not to get too obsessive compulsive about trophies though, because when I do, I end up like I currently am with MGS2.

I'm kind of surprised at how effective the girl body type + the various fast movement perks + sword + invis is. She seems to be a bit more survivable than the tiny body type, but still moves more than fast enough to close with anyone but someone on rollerskates. Just wishing I'd grabbed body armor instead of whatever else I'd grabbed - the rate at which they dole out the unlock keys is miserable.

Made it to the final level in Dyad. The "end cinematic" if you will. It's an infinite "gently caress with your head" mode made completely entrance and possibly disturb you. (not in a bad way.) That is one loving hell of a game. That said, if you're OCD about Trophies, do NOT buy this game. You have to 3 star each level. THEN you unlock the Trophy run with some REALLY hosed up requirements. Those are the only ways to earn *any* trophy in the game. You will be at 0/Whatever Trophies unless you persist and persist. I just spent 2 hours to get my FIRST Trophy. Possibly the easiest one, too.

That game is insanely fun, I only with the lobby system was better. (I also would like to play with goons, my psn id is Vicente_Fome)

Shadows of the Damned is such a waste. The beginning of it is so promising and by the time I was fighting that boss in the market I was feeling it so well, like it really was some demented road movie take on RE4, but then it all just goes downhill from there. The side scrolling levels and that godawful shooting gallery stage were almost enough to make me send it back.

It sure looks like that in the process of making his games more mainstream, Suda revealed that he doesn't actually know how to make a good mainstream game, just wacky-rear end alternative games, which will be held to a lower standard on gameplay and content just because of how different they are. I mean, I really liked NMH, but it was REALLY rough gameplay-wise and had a giant empty grindy world that was a pain to get through.

Ahahaha, yeah, no, I loving give up on this MGS2 trophy. I'm at MGS1 Snake Sneaking 10 and can't do poo poo. There are a few videos on youtube detailing how to get past, but they're too advanced for my level of play. I can't throw magazines exactly where I want as fast as they can, and I'm just burned out trying for another few hours. Furthermore, I didn't know that MGS1 Snake's Variety Level 01 is another loving sniper level. It's just not worth it for a lousy digital trophy. I'm done.

I really enjoyed Shadows of the Damned. It didn't take itself too seriously and wasn't stretched out for the sake of it. The gameplay was a little shallow in places but the pace kept up and it controlled well enough not to be frustrating. The overall style was pretty great, with Evil Dead references (even recreating the shack in the woods and "that" cellar door), the cheezy over the top dialogue (though I can understand the less than subtle innuendo may turn off some), a proper ending with no cop outs, and a fantastic sound track. Difficulty trophies not stacking is unusual, but this game honestly didn't feel like a chore to play through three times anyway.

Giraffes! In Space! was the first trophy I unlocked for the game and I felt it was really easy for a silver, yet something like most bronze ones are really difficult. I'm sort of happy sitting at 7%, not great but better than 0%. The last stage "Eye of the Duck" is crazy, that is some real  poo poo right there.I think I might give up on my MGS2 trophy fun, I should just move on to Peace Walker since I've yet to play my PSP version or my HD collection one. I finally beat Resident Evil chronicles HD, on easy... I'm really enjoying playing the game on my lunch break, really fun reliving RE0/1/3 and the new Campaign in russia(?). Now I gotta try to get through Darkside Chronicles.

I can't even express it, I need to hire that guy from The Thick of It to do a monologue about these loving side-scrolling levels. I will never get the hatred for teh side-scrolling levels. I didn't love SotD, but I had no trouble with the side scrolling levels at all and found them fun. I played the game on hard my first time through (a mistake considering Hard mode make alot of the bosses unbearable) but I think I died once total between all the sidescrlling levels.
