Am I the only one who finds the art style KiD is using really ugly and off-putting? I think it's the way the shadows on the character models interact with the cel-shading - it makes the borders look all blocky and pixelated, just kinda lovely. I understand that it's deliberate but it seems like a poor choice.

Question Mark Mound posted:No matter what it is, Kojima will find some way to play with it. Super Old Snake has to fake being dead (by removing your hands from the controller) so he can be smuggled into a top-secret paramilitary graveyard to be buried alive so he can reach the underground METAL GEAR labs. Cyborg Ocelot makes out with your 'corpse' and players can use the touchscreen to slip him some tongue.

I have a question about Dragon's Dogma - how important is that unlimited portal stone? If it's the kind of thing that could cut large swaths of running back and forth out of the game, I'm considering renting a copy for a day just so I can have a save file. Otherwise

Thanks for the DD info. When I first read about the portal stones it really sounded like the game had a fixed number, but if you can buy them from shops I probably won't bother with pre-making a save. I just don't want to ever run out, that would be bogus.

Don't worry too much about him, he's fairly useless. You can even get his nifty weapons later. Try to save him on another play through, Souls games are best blind as I'm sure you know.

axleblaze posted:Cross posting this from another thread but I just beat Spec Ops: The Line, and I'm not sure what to think. The game definitely gets credit for at least trying to be interesting but how well it pulls it off is highly debatable. It's been a while since I played, but I find this funny because I'm pretty sure all those complaints are deliberate stylistic choices. It's a game, but you're absolutely right about it being generic: that was kind of the point. I found the combat boring and frustrating at times too, which really drove home how loving insane Walker(?) really was when the cutscenes kick in and 'reality' returns. This is a broken man we're playing as, and our detachment is a reflection of his. I loved it. Chard fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Jun 7, 2013 |

I bought Dark Arisen a while ago and I've been enjoying it a lot. Just don't expect a solid excuse for the combat, the story is basically there to provide reasons for enemies to get tougher. Pawns are fun but gently caress forever trying to figure out what the inclinations do - just change your main to complement what you want to fight as and don't overthink it. Also always have 4 pawns because they make great dumpsters for loot. I'm just starting the DLC content and while it's true that there are a lot of pallete swapped enemies I enjoyed the base game enough that doing it again in new rooms is fun, and from what I understand there are new boss enemies too.Renaissance Robot posted:Is Demon's Souls still worth picking up? Mainly I'm wondering if anyone still plays it and whether it would affect the gameplay if not. You owe it to yourself to play this game. It is So Good in every way that counts, even if the multiplayer is pretty much dead (or god-tier duelists). Buy it, love it, and get hyped for Dark Souls 2.

To bandwagon on that question, GTA4 people: how interactive/active was the PS3 community for that game? My PC is aging badly and I'm not eager to replace it, so if I can have a good experience on a console I'd prefer to do that. Similarly, how important do you find voice communication for GTA games to be?

I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get GTA 5 at launch in spite of myself. What is the least expensive way for me to secure this product at the moment? Also, does a headset/headphones exist that works on both PS3 and PC? The mic is broken on my old PC headphones and I'm in the market for a new one but killing two birds with one purchase would be nice.

I'll buy as many "steal this poo poo" DLC packs as Rockstar wants to sell me. Heist flicks are hands-down my favorite genre of films, so I'm just wearing a big idiot grin during the whole planning and prepwork phase, execution is really just icing on the cake. It's hard to top recreating the armored car job from Heat, I don't care if it's just a note-for-note borrowing it was the best. A big casino job seems inevitable.

Samurai Sanders posted:Playing with Trevor is the best crazy hobo simulator ever, I don't think it will ever be beaten in the future either. My favorite so far is dirty sweatpants with a half tucked in bowling shirt. Me too, I know we're not getting much control over our character's appearance (  parents system ) but I hope we can at least pick the sex because I want to wreak havoc as a beautiful lady. They shops clearly have women's clothes already on display, I'd bet it's just a flag they'll flip on Oct. 1.blackguy32 posted:You probably would love Payday. Although I bought Payday 2 and I got sick of the grind a week after I got it. It is getting harder and harder for me to enjoy grindy rear end games where there are 2 or 3 different things you have to grind for. Add to the fact that if you fail because of idiot teammates then you get pretty much nothing and its 20-30 minutes of my time pretty much wasted. Not doing a great job selling me on the series there

I would absolutely love to play a R* game with a female protagonist and I know a lot of you feel the same. My GTAO charcter is a woman and it's hilarious/tragic some of the responses that gets. R* clearly have the chops to write a story that would be compelling and fun to play, but I feel like they are held back by a lot of who their major audience is, i.e. idiot young male 'gamers'. It's really a shame, because in a magically non-commercial space I think they could make something that would revolutionize the whole industry.

Surlaw posted:I don't know if anyone else is playing the PS3 version of XCOM: Enemy Within but god drat this game crashes on me even more than the vanilla version did. It's a pretty fantastic expansion/revision but it still hard locks regularly, and the (late game spoiler) XCOM base invasion mission locks up on me every couple turns. I've spent more time looking at the loading screen than playing the mission. Edit: It's now locking up on the load screen too. FWIW I'm having similar problems on PC. The expansion is great but yeah, it's incredibly buggy. I also had one instance where it froze forever on a dead alien and I had to force close.

Dragon's Dogma commits the unforgivable sin of allowing you to spend 10+ hours speccing a character that will be utterly unable to complete late/post game activities, without at any point warning or even hinting that certain class combinations are functionally useless. I did manage to have a lot of fun with it, but it is a Very Bad Game on many levels.

God the PS2 AC has games were sweet. Definitely the highlight of the series, none of the PS3 titles I tried grabbed me at all. I keep hoping they'll go back to having a solid single player campaign with maybe some multi, but it seems they've caught the same disease PC FPS have devs all carry and just want to iterate the same boring thing once a year.
