New gameplay video for Farcry 3

quote:

And if that doesn’t raise your eyebrows just a bit, the world of Defiance exists not only in the game, but in a TV series of the same name that will air on the Syfy channel. The game and show will change and evolve together, to create an entertainment experience unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.

Short answer: no.

Long answer: It's got a vaguely interesting spin on the ATB system, some good multiplayer support, and a kind of neat build-your-own-village system, not to mention a whole lot of content to slog through. But it's also a very boring, very badly-written, plodding grind of a game.

If you bought the PS3 version it should come included.

How is Joe Danger? I've been hankering for a trials game since I saw Trials Evolution come out for XBOX.

I wouldn't recommend it in the slightest. Almost the entirety of the game is watching cutscenes and responding to QTEs. Only a handful of the QTEs even do anything if you fail aside from affecting your score. The battles are pretty dull and repetitive, and as the guy above me said, you just fight until a bar fills up and then unleash your super attack to win (I'm not saying the attack makes it easier, I literally mean the fight will not end until you do this).

I did stay up until 2AM playing it and I didn't even touch the story. I was just sling-shotting around doing stupid stuff. I went to get a drink and saw on the microwave that is was just past 2. Getting 100% at each location will be the bane of my existence.

In retrospect, I have to say I avoided open world games in general because I strongly disliked GTAIII and up (I wasn't a huge fan of the GTAI/II either but I had fun with them as a kid). What a mistake, I still can't believe how good Just Cause 2 is. I loved Red Faction Guerilla when I finally gave it a chance thanks to keeping that Darksiders code. Red Dead Redemption was pretty fun also and Saints Row 2 was hilariously awesome. All that made me go back and give GTA IV a chance again and...I still don't get it. I feel like I love everything Rockstar touches that ISN'T Grand Theft Auto.

As has been pointed out, you can track this on the PDA. But I think it actually is impossible to platinum with just the base game because one of the vehicles never spawns, so you can only ever get 103/104. Thankfully this is offset by free DLC!

I just got the game too. I died in the car chase after the casino as I got shot to pieces. On my second go I got into the JC2 mindset, and leashed the cars to the road so that they'd flip and my car could get away. Or leash them to the sides of the bridges so they'd fly off them into the water. This is a good game.

Yeah it's funny how that turned out, but by far the absolute worst game in the series was MW2, and since Activision got rid of those guys, the quality of COD games has increased significantly. It pretty much speaks for itself doesn't it?

Krad posted:

So guess what fantastic, fantastic game is getting an HD re-release?

The best part is that I never played it before.

Pablo Gigante posted:

So I rented MW3 from a Redbox and beat the single-player campaign last night That ending (well, most of the game really) was loving ridiculous. I still really enjoyed it, though it seemed even shorter than the other MW games. Definitely worth the $4 though

Also, I'm leery of the business model. It will be free to play, with like (If I read right) small charges built in. True microtransactions. Like maybe you earn this gun. Then you die. You lose the gun/gear when you die, and you need to buy packs of guns for like a quarter (real life money) a pack.

It's possible it could change, or I'm wrong, or it was misreported. It's also possible it could be JUST like that and be cool. But it does put me on alert as potentially dangerous territory.

So I have a thing for action RPGs that shove nails up my dick..
Demon's Souls
Dark Souls
next to buy: Dragon's Dogma

Any other recommendations in this area? It doesn't necessarily have to be an RPG either, so long as it has really good combat and makes me want to throw my controller at the TV.

I was reading a review of Spec Ops: the Line, and this listed as a negative: "Relentless killing overrides moral dilemmas." Uh...welcome to the world of video games?

I was thinking of making a Dungeon Twister thread to stir up interest for tomorrow's release, but if someone else with more experience in the game wants to do it (and also let me rest up this drat sinus infection), feel free.

Code Jockey posted:

e2. I dunno if this counts as breaking anything because I'm sure it's by design, but up close, scouts will ~wreck~ enemy troops with headshots, at least Alicia did, which proves she is good for something. I barely fielded scouts, but learned eventually that for troops that you can sneak up on or who don't fire during your movement phase [just snipers?], you can fairly easily kill them in one turn with headshots from the scout. There's one map in particular that I remember running Alicia around the border of, and she was killing a troop every turn by running RIGHT up on them, aiming at head, then whammo.

I felt kind of weird because I pretty much accidentally wrecked the final boss on my first try. I was using Vyse to kill because... well, Vyse is a JRPG hero, who better to kill the final boss? And This happened.

... Honestly, it felt pretty fitting. Vyse already handled enough poo poo, this is just a roadblock for him.

I said come in! posted:

I've seen stealth speedruns done in 1 hour 51 minutes, on the hardest difficulty setting. On normal, you can get through the game much faster than that. I think that if you really know what you are doing, you can beat this in under an hour.

Here's the gameplay trailer. The fighting looks like they took whatever system Uncharted 3 had and they boosted the melee mechanics again. Ammo is probably more scarce, and maybe enemies are too? It would be nice if they stopped it from turning into an absolute slaughterfest that Uncharted was.

Naughty Dog makes a drat pretty apocalypse, I just hope they find some way to make zombies interesting, because I am so god damned tired of zombies.

Krad posted:

You should look into Valkyria Chronicles, it's the best SRPG the PS3 has right now.

Samurai Sanders posted:

Maybe the best one that it will ever have, because the SRPG genre, like many other Japanese genres, has moved pretty much entirely to portables.
