Mug posted:Brightness settings in games are always loving dumb. I just leave them on default. Yeah, this. Just leave the RE6 brightness to default. I couldn't even turn it down low enough to not see the 6 symbol like it asked, so I tried turning it down once I was in game to see how dark it would get and gently caress that noise. 20 is a perfectly acceptable setting. My TV already has some pretty goofy brightness settings, no need to fiddle further.

I calibrate my TV with this guide (ignoring the CRT-specific parts) and the color bars on a Criterion disk, then ignore anything the games say unless it's a game-provided setting.

Jolo posted:Hell Yeah seems to get worse with every new area. It seems like the game is actively trying to be less fun as you progress. Case in point: A new enemy that you have to bounce up into the air 8 or more times without letting it touch the ground. The camera in the game is close enough to your character that when you bounce an enemy into the air, you can't see where he is to accurately position yourself under him again. You know you can zoom the camera out, right? It does pause the action while you do it, but since that guy's leaving a trail behind him as he flies about it doesn't seem like it'd be too hard to figure out where he's going to land.

Yeah. They leave a trail, but it can be difficult to see exactly where they will come down. If the game could be played zoomed out it would fix several problems with the game, and these enemies would be kinda fun to deal with. These enemies are just one of many unfun elements in the game that crop up more frequently as the game progresses. I like the silly story and some of the humor and minigames, which is why this game's decline is a bummer. There's a really fun game there in the first couple of hours.

eightysixed posted:There's a lot of hate in this thread about Resident Evil 6. I don't think I agree. It's been pretty fun so far (full disclosure: I finished all of Leon's campaign and am have way through Chris's). Although the game is too dark if you put the settings where they want you to. I'm halfway between enjoying the game and hating it. The game can be fun, but there are some goofy things that detract from the fun. Since you said you finished Leon's campaign, maybe you'll remember one of the team being shoved into a blender, more or less, by one of the super zombies, and even though you're right next to them, you can't help them out. You can shoot, you can kick, but it doesn't help at all, and it makes no sense at all. The QTEs are also pretty awful in their own right. They go by way too quickly, especially considering that there are a fair amount of insta-death QTE failures. The one for climbing in particular is the bane of my existence.

Have we talked about Nights in this thread yet? Because I bought it a few days ago and oh my god it's like I'm ten years old again. I totally suck at the game now compared to when I'd A rank everything as a tot, but that doesn't stop me from having a blast. It's only ten bucks too, so I'd definitely recommend it to people. It is short though, so keep that in mind. Tons of replayability though.

The general critical consensus has been that, like Jet Set Radio, you kinda had to be there. It has some vocal defenders, like Christian Nutt, but most people are saying that if you didn't love it then, it seems pretty un-fun (and some people who DID love it then are disappointed). I can get that feeling - I still love the first two Syphon Filters despite everything about that genre being refined into infinity for the last two plus generations, but I think giving someone that an HD version of Syphon Filter 2 with no concessions to modern gameplay would result in the person I gave it to thinking I'm crazy. If you still love it, that's awesome. I'm intrigued by the game's ideas and remember absolutely obsessing over screenshots of it when I was little and had no Saturn so I might give it a shot if it, say, shows up for free on PS+, but it seems like too much of a risk to spend money on when most of the internet is saying "hey turns out this is pretty bad now." I think one reason why SEGA's older games might not be holding up to the public at large is because they were so interested in generating new ideas that they never iterated or perfected older ones. There's nothing on the market anything like Jet Set Radio OR NiGHTS and I would've loved for them to either spawn true sequels (JSRF is a totally different beast) or clones that perfected their formula and brought their ideas into the fold of video games at large.

I'm in the UK and the EU release of Walking Dead episode 4 isn't out yet so naturally I don't really want to read the Walking Dead thread, but I hear that the latest episode is eating saves for some people and a fix is being worked on. Does this problem seem to be widespread? Is it something to do with the third save slot? Maybe post developments in this thread so I know at least?

I dunno man, JSR is still pretty good (I did play it for the Dreamcast though), and an actual movable camera makes a hell of a difference for game play. Maybe if there is a demo up give it a shot.

Absolutely agree. I had to own Saga, that was the only game that made PlayStation fans jealous, and I had to have something that made up for my poor purchasing choice in a console. Not that the Saturn didn't have other real good games, but I got it just months before the announcement came that the system was being discontinued.

I've started playing Trash Panic again. Ignoring the fact that single player is balls hard, is there any rhyme or reason as to how to make the trash can lift up and tip in multiplayer mode? Even if I try not touching my controller, it'll lift sometimes!

How much worse, exactly, are Mass Effect 2 and 3 on the PS3 compared to the 360? I have both of the HD twins, but my 360 recently bit the bullet, and with the Mass Effect Trilogy having been announced for the PS3 too, there isn't really a reason for me to own a 360 anymore per se - I'm not into Halo etc. and was basically holding onto my 360 for ME1, which will now also appear on the PS3. I could theoretically sell my 360 instead of buying a new one and just get the Mass Effect games for the PS3 this time around, but are they a significant downgrade from the 360 versions?

They're not significant but ME2 has some noticeable problems with audio skipping and loading times which may feel a lot more aggravating after the 360 versions.

The PS3 version of ME2 is the one with the digital comic that lets you not kill Wrex without playing through the whole game, right? I think you'll be ok.

Those choices sure are easier to make when you're just looking at them in a comic book, rather than actually playing ME1.

And judging by comparisons courtesy of Digital Foundry the framerate on ME's PS3 version does get kind of bad at times in some cutscenes, but it's not something I'd necessarily notice if someone didn't specifically point out the fact to me beforehand. On the plus side, there is no switching discs with the PS3 versions of the games, a definite actual advantage over the 360 versions. I guess I'll have to ponder this for a while.

I know the earlier CD based consoles had next to no copyright protection(Saturn had terrible region locking that could be bypassed easily).

I mean does Saga play like an open world RPG with railshooter aspects? I haven't played it in a long time but yeah, pretty much . It's not THAT open world like being a Saturn game but there was still large areas you could fly freely around. The battles played out like a combination of a rail shooter and a traditional RPG. You could freely move and position yourself in battle while attacking was still turn based. As I said, there is really nothing else like it.

You could also buy the games off steam/origin/retail and plug your 360 controller into your computer. Just go with whichever option is the cheapest. I'm not sure why people are recommending you skip Mass Effect 1 and just use the comic choice system. Mass Effect 1 is a good game and playing it will make you enjoy Mass Effect 2 more. Don't skip it to jump straight into Mass Effect 2. If you really want to save a certain popular character just make sure you put points into either Paragon or Renegade (which you should be maxing anyway since the games combat is pretty drat easy) muscles like this? posted:I still have never understood why they defaulted to "Yes" if you didn't have a ME1 save game.

If they did I would have bought it there instead. It's a perplexing decision, to say the least. Oh wow really? That's.... interesting. I played it with a keyboard and mouse and it plays fine but you can tell it was designed for a controller. Mass Effect 3 in particular where you get alot less abilities to use making hotkeys not as important as in the first two games. That's an unbelievably stupid thing to leave out. I don't know how hard it is to implement but I can't imagine it would be that hard. Did they just not want Xbox owners to buy the game cheaper on PC or something?
