KennyMan666 posted:Figured that's what that thing I drove past was. Good to know. It costs money (a flat fee for entering the customization at all), but such a tiny amount that if you're not making several times that every 5 minutes within about 15 minutes of the game opening up you screwed up considerably.

It's like someone took a clunky PS2 shooter, went into the gameplay config files, and turned every number up to 11. The controls are physics are terrible but you get to shoot an army of spiders the size of a semi trucks with a rocket launcher that blows up the entire block and launches their corpses halfway across the city.

Also, WAY more goons need to get on some Perfect Dark. I'm really hoping it becomes one of the Games with Gold soon, so we'll have a ton of people with it. You can't lament the lack of GoldenEye64 and not play Perfect Dark.

It's a game where you blow up giant insects and robots with Havok physics, there's no penalty for destroying anything, you can call in satellite laser strikes, get raildriver tanks airdropped, get a fully automatic sticky-bomb gun, and run around in a suit of four-gunned power armor. Yes. Yes it is good.

Earth Defense Force is goooooooooood. It's the rare game where you can tell it was on a strict budget but you can also tell they spent it all in the absolute most perfect places. It's like someone took a NES developer and had them design the game they thought we'd be playing right now. There's basically only three things to it: an insane number of weapons, an insane number of bugs, destructible buildings. And the buildings aren't even THAT impressive. That's all they spent their money on and it shows in both good and bad ways. tldr - if you can survive without some modern frills, can appreciate japanese monster-campiness, and enjoy shooting ants in the face: Buy EDF.

I think you're describing EDF:2027, but the sale is for EDF:2017. But really the only thing I think that's missing in 2017 is the 4 armed power armor.

Oh poo poo, well then just buy that immediately. The description still stands but they made everything just a bit better in 2025. Edit: Is there still a version of Watch Dogs coming for 360? The onion AV club article makes it sound like the non-gameplay bits are exactly the kind of thing I've sworn off in games. Particularly this bit... quote:The delight of these rare intellectual challenges is matched by the slow, dispiriting realization that Watch Dogs is strapping you in for the same ride that countless games in this genre have offered before. The hero is another stubbly, white-skinned guy with another hot chick coaching him in his earpiece. Tiresome cutscenes play out another “they killed my woman!” plot driven by a dude’s thirst for revenge. The missions? Even with the hacking bits, they’re largely limited to the same vocabulary that Grand Theft Auto and Splinter Cell standardized long ago: Go here, shoot this, sneak past that. Again and again, when the makers of Watch Dogs could have made a creative choice, they instead settled for the default option. If there's anything I hate the most about the last generation, it's this. Brooding hero, vaguely attractive nerd girl on his bluetooth, dead family members, revenge. I no longer give a flying gently caress about the rest of the game I am not sitting through that poo poo for the hundredth time. Although this sounds pretty hilarious: quote:At the beginning of one mission to find and rough up a gang leader, Pearce sneers the standard line, “I think I’ll pay this guy a little visit.” Then he adds, in case you didn’t catch his drift, “I don’t think he’ll like my visit, but it’ll give him something to think about in the hospital.” Later, in the midst of a shootout, a thug cries, “This can only end one way, shitface!” Then he helpfully explains: “And it’s not a happy ending for ya! Okay?!” Intel&Sebastian fucked around with this message at 18:47 on May 28, 2014 |

The onion AV club article makes it sound like the non-gameplay bits are exactly the kind of thing I've sworn off in games. Particularly this bit... It's an interesting game. The protagonist is very much a goony autist, the "criminal profiles" all seem to only involve black people, and the driving is uhh, on the level of Mercenaries 1 or 2? But I'm digging it, just wandering around snatching ATM PINs from cancer patients and listening to people talk about sending their underage daughter to pole-dancing lessons. A lot of the mechanics are kind of poorly explained and the music is uhh, only poo poo from Illinois and nearby areas, which I guess is cool but extremely limited. After playing Assassin's Creed so much, it's bizarre to have a sprint button that's not connected to the free-climb button in an Ubi game.

Bad driving is the stake in the heart for that one I suppose for me  Are all of the little "spying on people" profiles really that bad? Every single one I've seen so far has been varying levels of  . Like is everyone in Chicago secretly evil, a pervert or a tragedy?

What the gently caress, I just checked the price of Watch Dogs on 360 on Xbox.com because I'm kind of interested in it. £55?! (That's over $90 for our American friends) What the gently caress? Who would pay that? No sale, Ubisoft. No loving sale.

Every single one I've seen so far has been varying levels of Running from the cops is really frustrating in the early game because it's actually pretty tough to lose them, even using your hacks to cause traffic accidents at stoplights and poo poo. It's tougher than I expected on Normal, combat-wise, as well - you kind of need to have a plan of attack most of the time. Stealth works pretty well although it's tough to escape detection and try again without reloading. I like setting off people's phones, opening nearby doors and blowing up transformers and poo poo.

So uh what's going on with live? I can't access the marketplace through the web browser, signing on says I connect but all my friends have blank white canvases as their avatars, and none of my games are working on live. I have gold before you ask. Did a network test and it says matchmaking is having issues. Told me to go to the service alerts page and it keeps bringing up the "uh oh you found an error" message. Some kind of scheduled maintenance I'm not aware of? Edit: Ah nevermind. Apparently Uplay has broken xbox live. Bumper Stickup fucked around with this message at 21:56 on May 28, 2014 |

It's like Ubisoft didn't even try.

I've been clearing through my backlog and realized I owned The Saboteur and maybe played it for an hour back in 2010, so I've been playing through it more this week and man, this game is a lot of fun. I mean, the freeplay stuff is pretty repetitive (stick dynamite on a Nazi spotlight/tower/tank/fueling station/whatever) but it's fun. It's also very silly. My Irish hero has more than once yelled "FOR JEWS!" and one time as he died he went "SORRY JEWS"

Which is boring mission design but not really a glitch, nor is WD unique in doing it.
