Well then, you've probably heard of the upcoming RPG from Level 5, Ni no Kuni (Two Kingdoms/Worlds). Yeah, as much as I love the style, that combat doesn't look too promising. Still somewhat excited for this, but almost certain it won't see an NA release.

Will Sony ever implement a thing where, when you download a PSN game, the file they give youis also up to date so you can just play it right away? I was going to give the Assassin's Creed beta a go, but right after I downloaded it, it told me I needed a patch already. God, it hasn't even been out for a week yet. I just left it for PS+ to auto-download.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Yeah, exactly. or just download the patch along with the game itself. Feenix posted:A patch on a beta and it's only been a week?! How dare they?! I actually realized that after I typed it, but my point still stands. The patch thing has happened with nearly every game I've gotten from the PSN, and actually happens pretty often to me with release-day disc-based games. I'm just kinda sick of it, and this was the latest in a long line of these things.

Also, really research Demons' Souls before buying it. It's not a bad game by any means, but it's not always gonna be your cup of tea.

blackguy32 posted:I agree with this. I have beaten a couple of the worlds, but I really have no burning desire to go back and play it again. I really hate the hub aspect of it because surprisingly, I really like King's Field. This was pretty much my experience. I got through most of world 1 until it told me I had to do something else before advancing, then beat 3-1 and 2-1, but couldn't really get much farther, and I eventually just stopped caring. The upside, though, is that it's a Greatest Hit, and you can get it for pretty cheap.

Palleon posted:If a tactical WW2-esk RPG appeals to you, and you have a tolerance for anime, you might want to look at Valkyria Chronicles (the gameplay makes up for the really bad story). I love Valkyria Chronicles, it's pretty much my favorite game this generation and favorite new IP, and I'll recommend it to anyone that likes SRPGs, but god-drat that pig. The entire game was incredibly anime, and sort of embarassing to be seen watching a cutscene, but that pig just pushed it over the line.

I always figured crouching/sneaking being the same button came more from the number of buttons on the controller. Like, you could have crouch and sneak as separate, but smoe other aspect of the game would lose fuctionality. If crouching has to mean sneaking for the rest of the game to work well and be fun, so be it.

ImpAtom posted:Crouch = sneaky was around even on the PC. It's convenient but it didn't start on consoles. It really is just because isn't a convenient shorthand for "your character is being stealthy" more then anything else. Oh. Well, whatever. It may not make a whole lot of sense, but I honestly don't see the big deal about it so long as it's fun. Also, there aren't many games I've played past the N64 era where crouching and moving kept you as low as possible. Most games raise you up a bit, and have it look a bit more like you were keeping low and walking purposefully than just nearly crawling.

Yeah, whoever told you it's the best thing on the PS3 was a liar. Maybe it was at the time it was released (hell, it was the reason I got my PS3), but so much has been released that is better that it's almost funny. That, by no means, mean it's a bad game. Just not the best. And like the other 2 said, MGS3(Subsistence, if you can find it or feel like waiting for the DH collection) is the best of the series. e: There are alot of plot elements that won't make sense unless you've played or read up on 2 and 3, and that takes alot out of the cutscenes, I think, of which there are many.

EC posted:I watched the quick look on Giantbomb, and it looks kinda dumb. I dunno, my main Burnout game was Paradise, so I know I might be in the minority. I did try the 360 version of...3, maybe? The sense of speed was great, but I didn't particularly enjoy crash mode. Crash mode in 3 was pretty much biggest "Party Game" my friends and I had in high school, and I was really angry when they took it out of Paradise. Burnout is definitely my favorite racing series, and I will pretty much buy any iteration at this point, but I was honestly hoping that this Burnout Crash was just going to be the old Crash mode.

Zyklon B Zombie posted:Really late, but I just finished up the first Infamous and liked it a lot. I really want to play the second one now, but I'm kind of anxious about how jarring the change of Cole is. I know he was a really generic character, but I liked him a lot. I do want to see where the story goes though. Also, there should be more super heroes that just wear normal clothes. The change isn't anywhere near as significant as it was orignally intended to be. Now, instead of a completely redesigned character, it feel more like Cole is finally going back to normal, growing his hair back and losing the extreme gruffness in his voice. It's a hell of a lot of fun, regardless of the character redesign, and fixes alot fo things that were wrong with 1. Play it.

I don't mind Amazon, because most of the poo poo I pre-order is either standard edition, or a game nobody cares about. If I didn't have to deal with GameStop/EB Games specifically, and all of their dumb pre-order pushes and "new" game practices, I'd be fine with, and would probably prefer, buying at a brick-and-mortar shop.

Well, this may be one of my problems with the game, then. Because I wasn't going for "dagger ninja" but "quiet mage who gets left alone", and it got to a point where I seriously couldn't advance any further. I tried playing God Hand last night, and I can definitely see why someone would give it a low score, but I also didn't take nay time to read the manual, and didn't know I had a customizable move-set, so it sort of improved after that. I might start a new game again now that I sort of know what I'm doing, since I didn't get very far in this playthrough.

As much as my interest faded for Demons' Souls, the Tower Knight was easily the most satisfying victory in a boss fight I've had in a very, very long time. There weren't any broken mechanics or physics, no unreasonably cheap moves, nothing you couldn't deal with so long as you had your wits about you. Simply strategy, luck, and dedication. I seriously dropped my controller and put my hands up in the air when I was done.

I think what ended up turning me off to more of Demon's Souls was that, after the Tower Knight, none of the other bosses gave me the same sense of triumph. the Fool's Idol was super-boring, and the Armor Spider was actually sort of broken in my opnion, so I wasn't having fun anymore. The areas after them were just a huge grind for me, so I just stopped and never went back.

Baggot posted:It was confirmed on Konami's American website. We just don't know the details. I'm going to guess that it's likely they'll release a PSV version of MGS2&3 and you'll have to buy that separately, but the saves will transfer from the PS3 version and vice-versa. Alright... Well... I'll probably order it anyway, because MGS3 is one of my all-time favorite games, and the HD screenshots look great. I haven't played Peace Walker, either, so it'll be nice to play an upgraded version. I saw the LE, too. I do love the art of the MGS series, but I've paid about $30 for an art book before, but if it's like the book that came with the Assassin's Creed 2 LE, it's definitely not worth it. e: Amazon's picture makes it look reasonably sized, if a bit on the small side.

I could just about understand it if each achievement earned you a little store credit or something, but I've taken to disabling achievement notifications on the 360 now. They're just kinda annoying. Even something in-game would be nice. That's what achievements used to be. Beat this track? Unlock this car. Kill this guy? Get this weapon. Beat a certain mode under a certain time? Unlock this character. Now it's just Do any of those things, get a shiny picture. To get any of those rewards, buy some stuff. Multiplayer trophies can go ahead and go gently caress themselves.

Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotehrhood (and a few other Ubisoft games, I think) had UPlay set up, which was pretty neat. You'd do something in-game, get points for it, then unlock a little trinket that had no real bearing on the game, but was neat otherwise. Both games had Altaïr skins, and I think there were some new areas to explore, too. I wish more companies would do that.
