Yep, mafia 2 pisses me off big time. It could have been a drat good game, but it was so glaringly obvious they cut out tons of content on purpose to sell as DLC later. The big, detailed world with nothing to do, and NPCs that are obvious side quest starters that tell you to come talk to them every now and then, but when you do they never actually give you a sidequest, because they hamfistedly took those out of the base game. The game was an infuriating gently caress up and one of the prime examples of DLC going shady.

SamBishop posted:Hmmm, that is a little tough, but I'll try. It's DEFINITELY more awesome so far than Uncharted 2, but that's because I've always wanted more puzzle solving from this series and they've given it in spades thus far. The ratio has been at least 50/50 and the game is all the better for it. I'm glad to hear it is awesome but I really don't like the puzzles in the uncharted games.

I'm glad it's not just me that was noticing that, I thought I was just sucking or something.

I've got a few friends bugging me to pick up BF3 but I'm really picky about FPS games and I've never played a battlefield game before. I really like counterstrike and MAG, and really dislike COD and COD clones. Things that I like: -MAG's skill point system, I liked all the different types of builds you could do. -Being able to live for a good length of time with smart, cautious play, and by cautious I don't mean camping in the same spot. -The overall feel of the game engine in MAG - I felt like my shots went where I aimed, I rarely felt like I died because of "bullshit", the pacing of the movement was fast but not too fast Things that I hate: -Airstrikes/artillery/killstreaks/other things that vaporize huge sections of the map and kill you unavoidably -Grenade spam -Dudes respawning behind you after you kill them -Map design where snipers can lock down all the paths on the map and generally can't be flanked -Map design and game mechanics (chaining killstreaks, dudes respawning behind you) that encourage camping Would I like BF3 at all? I'd be getting it for PC but I figured I'd ask the PS3 thread because I made several comparisons to MAG. I don't really know what to make of it and my friends can't answer any of my questions they just keep saying "dude it's so awesome."

a shameful boehner posted:1. Don't be afraid of dying To add on to this, when you die you respawn at the last bonfire you camped at, and all the enemies respawn. If you're used to most games that have a checkpoint right outside a boss's area and the thought of having to make your way past all the enemies again sounds completely foreign, well you have been warned. But if you're willing to learn from your mistakes and figure it out, it is extremely rewarding and you'll end up wondering how you ever had trouble before.

Yeah, give the "run and gun more" strategy a spin in Uncharted1 and see if it helps make the game less frustrating. It seemed to be the general consensus around here, but don't drive yourself crazy - every time I tried it I just ended up dying even faster so it isn't a slam dunk. Uncharted2 and 3 are a billion times better though, so don't let the first game turn you off from the sequels.

Any opinions on armored core 5? I've never tried any of the AC games, and it seems like one of those niche titles that you're either going to love it or hate it, and I don't expect those types of games to ever get a fair shake from most major reviewers.

Prototype2 was a pretty fun romp, but not $60 fun. The game was way, way too loving easy. The most threatening enemy in that game is the camera. I wouldn't quite mind the lack of difficulty if you could escalate the action to the point where it was completely bonkers, but that just doesn't happen in prototype 2. You're so powerful that even if you hop into a military base and start loving around, you'll kill everything surprisingly fast and the alert goes away and the action stops. I don't ever remember that happening in the first game, poo poo would just keep coming.

blackguy32 posted:Sometimes I think Red Faction Armageddon gets a bad rap due to Guerrilla. Guerrilla was fun but I felt that game would have been much better if it had a smaller world. The driving in that game was boring as gently caress. But the multiplayer in Guerrilla was fun as hell. I wish people still played it. There used to be a guy from Volition who would post here, I remember he said once that Guerilla basically taxed console hardware as much as it could. If they tried to add any more buildings to the game than they had, the game would just completely break down and stop working correctly. It's a real shame, Guerilla is one of my favorite PS3 games and I'd love to see that kind of destructible building action on better hardware. The multiplayer was really awesome too, the destructible buildings made the match play differently as it went on and poo poo got blown up.

PorkFat posted:Just started playing Prototype 2. What are the must have powers and what are worthless? I remember devastators being pretty badass from the last game but I don't want to waste exp on dumb poo poo like I did in the first game. The most dangerous enemy in prototype 2 is the camera. I really wouldn't worry too much about screwing yourself over, it's MUCH easier than the first game, even on hard mode. Way too easy actually in my opinion. That being said I would skip the stealth oriented powers to begin with, there aren't that many virus detectors you have to worry about and even when you do they aren't that big of a deal. You really can't go wrong with the defensive and movement upgrades.

I definitely agree with just skipping AC1 - youtube it or something if you really want, but I didn't and just hopped right into AC2 and didn't regret it. I will say though that while I really enjoyed AC2 and AC:B, I'm not sure I would have been able to play them back to back. I think I would have been burned out by the formula doing that. I tried to play revelations and just couldn't, I was too tired of the formula. I can't imagine trying to do an AC marathon of all 4 of the games back to back, that'd be crazy.

notZaar posted:Infamous is a fun game, just remember if you play it that it's a third person shooter, not a brawler. Until you learn to play it right it will feel annoying. I'd also add that it isn't the type of game where you control a mega powerful superhero running around destroying the poo poo out of everything effortlessly. Bullets hurt Cole a lot and you need to play carefully or you'll die a lot. Infamous is a lot of fun though and should definitely be played before the sequel.

MUFFlNS posted:What was so bad about Diablo 3 anyways? I never played it but saw some gameplay footage somewhere with the screen absolutely full of enemies and it looked hilariously chaotic and fun. What did people hate about it so much? A lot of the gripes people had about the game on launch have been fixed in the last couple of patches, including some of the ones already mentioned in this thread. It's not anywhere near as bad as the internet hyperbole will lead you to believe, and with Jay Wilson gone the game should be headed in a better direction in the future. By the time the console version comes out it should have a few more content patches as well.

Unpopular opinion alert - I liked diablo3 a lot. It was certainly very flawed on release, but they've done a lot to make it better since then. I feel like the game continues to get a really bad rap on SA from people who haven't played the game much if any since then, since most of their gripes with the game aren't really applicable anymore. If anyone skipped it on PC but was interested in the console version, I'd say give it a try with an open mind and don't be discouraged by internet bitching about the game.

I said come in! posted:Once things became clearer everyone realized that the stat system is actually super basic and then all of a sudden even Inferno became very easy, even without all of the balance changes Blizzard made to it. Once you understood that Blizzard designed it at first so you have to gear up a very specific way, it got very easy. The stat system IS super basic, but understanding of the stat system isn't what gave people so much trouble in inferno 1.0. The trouble with inferno 1.0 came from 2 major things - the monsters did more damage than they do on monster power 10 (ie, the highest setting possible) of today, and the gear drop/itemization system was shitloads worse. Items have an "item level", so for example a warlord plate was 60, and archon armor was 63, the highest possible. But the best mods only rolled on the higher item level stuff, and those items only dropped in the later acts. So in act 1 inferno you could only get lower item level stuff, AND the possible rolls were really lovely. And stuff lower than item level 60 dropped very frequently, and was 100% guaranteed to be useless. The idea, in principle, was to progress slowly from act to act gearing up in each one with higher item level stuff, but the numbers and balance were completely hosed all to hell. Since then they scrapped most of that, you can get the highest possible items in any act, and you can roll good mods on lower item level stuff as well, and they buffed the drop rate of rares as well. Then you have the monster power difficulty slider to scale the damage/health/droprates of the monsters to whatever you want. It's actually playable now and you don't need to hit up the auction house at all if you don't want to.

Samurai Sanders posted:Is there no Diablo 3 console version thread? A quick search didn't get anything. In fact, nothing about Diablo 3 PC either, except in FYAD. Is it so bad that the improvements to the console versions still don't make it worth looking at? The thread where most of the discussion was already linked, and what I've gathered from that thread is that the initial reactions from people about the console version have been very positive. Haven't played it myself but from what I've read the console version rains insanely good loot from the sky and most of it is biased towards whatever character class you're playing. I've been looking at screenshots of the loot people are getting on the console version and those items beat the poo poo out of even the very best loot on the PC version. It's so good I'm actually skeptical of the long term appeal of the console version since the character stats I've seen being posted look like something that you'd generate using a character editor or other type of hack. But the overall response has been so positive I've come to the conclusion I'm a weird minority so what do I know?

...! posted:Isn't it multiplayer only? And hardly anyone plays it anymore? It has a singleplayer story mode and you can play the multiplayer FFA brawl maps with bots. I had a decent bit of fun with the game for what it was. Some over the top beat em up action. Definitely a flawed game but for 16 bucks you'll probably get a few hours out of it at least. I'd guess that the multiplayer is almost certainly dead, and the ones still playing are probably wunderkinds who you won't land a single hit on, ever.

I was playing as Trevor listening to a phone call, absentmindedly standing in the road while I was doing it. Normally I don't move around much at all when listening to the phone calls since I don't want to risk loving it up and missing the dialogue. While I was standing there the guy in the car behind me that I couldn't see decided he'd had enough of my poo poo and got out and punched me in the back of the head, interrupting the call. Naturally I turn around and we start fighting, I punch that guy out right about the same time as 2 random guys on the sidewalk decided they had to get in on the action, so I'm fighting with them. Then all of a sudden I get shot dead by yet another random guy who had stopped his car on the other side of the street and got out to shoot me. Vigilante justice?? Who knows?

I mean, while I enjoy running the missions and figuring out different ways to solo them, I am kind of miffed that they keep nerfing a lot of poo poo about the game while doing very little to fix some of the deep seated problems with the game. I skipped GTA online because of all the initial connectivity problems it was having, I told myself I'd wait until they fixed those. By the time those were (reportedly) fixed, they'd made some of the grindy nerfs you mentioned, which sounded like the exact opposite of fun. So now I'm waiting until they add heists and more content in general to possibly give it a try, but by the time that happens I quite possibly won't care enough to even try it.

I guess this is the point where I drop my yearly post in here saying that I sucked complete and total rear end at uncharted1 and died absolutely constantly in that game. I really, really had to slog through it just because I did like the story, but man I could not get the run and gun style to work. I never saw what I could do when I would die within 2 seconds of leaving cover all the time. Normally I'm the one thinking that other people just suck at video games but uncharted1 did not click with me at all whatsoever. The 2nd game is MUCH better though.

I vaguely seem to remember FF13 also had a menu that would tell you what's been happening in the story, but it would go above and beyond that and often include details and tidbits that weren't actually explained in-game. If you're trying to follow the story you may want to check there every now and then even if you feel like you're caught up.
