Well I just found a gamebreaking glitch in No More Heroes. During Dark Star's motorcycle sequence, I hit a box, and instead of spazzing out of control for a second and then regaining it, I completely fell off the bike and was forced to go into combat mode with my katana, similar to what happens in Bad Girl's stage.

I ran along and got hit by one of the enemy biker's flame attacks, and that instantly spawned me back on the bike, turned in the opposite direction and stuck in a never-ending "Oh God i'm on fire" animation.

I know a lot of people hate Kratos because of his "I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!" attitude, but if you actually look at how badly this guy has been screwed over in Chains of Olympus, GoW1, and Ghost of Sparta, I think his anger is pretty justified by the time you get to 2 and 3.

They did change the dodging to the stick. I think he was referring to the PSP version.

Edit: I can vouch for the demo at least, that they added the stick dodging and left the PSP dodging in as well.

They've done a seriously good job porting these over - I can't get over how good it all looks. Sometimes I wish we were a generation behind graphically, just so everything would run at 1080p/60fps.

No, he's still pretty much a dick there too. Chains of Olympus tries to make him sympathetic without pointing out that he was a warmongering rear end in a top hat and that was the direct cause of him killing his own daughter.

My point was that Kratos had plenty of reason to be pissed off in GoW2 when the prior three games chronologically he has been hosed over multiple times.

Anyone going for the all fruit/lizard trophies in Shadow of the Colossus, I recommend you save OFTEN. I had to restart the game twice because of various disappearing lizard/fruit glitches.

This probably happened in the PS2 version as well, but back then I probably just shrugged it off and moved on. Now every time it happens it makes me want to pull my hair out.

You think they would have fixed that. I could understand it on PS2 since the system nearly killed itself just trying to run SotC, but that's inexcusable now.

Playing God Hand for the first time, and I have to say, it's not nearly as hard as IGN made it out to be and they can officially go gently caress themselves, cause this is not a 3/10 game.

Granted, i'm still getting my rear end kicked a lot, but it's fun. Still trying to figure out what would make for a solid combo though.

The Uncharted games have in-game equivalents of their trophies that give you unlock points or something, don't they?

Yes, and you can use those points to buy all the guns so you can use them at any time, alternate skins, cheats, and even different game filters cause Naughty Dog are awesome trolls and have a brown filter for shits and giggles.

gently caress you Koei. I get to the last mission in Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3. One mission away from the platinum trophy, and what am I rewarded with for all my efforts slogging through all this game's tedious trophies? A total pile of bullshit. Half a dozen ace pilots that can teleport from nowhere and kill me in two hits even with a maxed out pilot and the best Gundam in the game.

I have a limit to how much bullshit i'll endure for a platinum trophy, and this game broke it.

Thanks for your reply, but this has stumped me. It IS late here in Blighty, but I don't follow. A quick google reveals that we are, indeed, oceans apart.

It's certainly jerky, but I kinda like the imprecision. You're not a super-soldier, you're John McClane from Die Hard. You miss some shots, you get beat up a little but eventually you win. I've been using hip-fire, blind fire from cover, and punching/headbutting dudes and having a blast. Throwing back grenades is also pretty sweet, and the stealth attacks are incredibly useful.

Nathan Drake not being a super-soldier is not a justifiable reason for bad aiming, and i'm not even going to get into Drake's kill count. He's essentially a lovable Kratos at this point.

God Hand is so strange. Its flaws are so glaring and yet I can't not have fun with it anyway as I perfect how to beat the crap out of guys.

It's really a game that needed a sequel or at least a spiritual successor. If they fine tuned and fixed some things you could have a really solid game.
