I said come in! posted:I've heard good things about this racing game. Going to have to buy it for sure, as I love Ferrari and there are not enough racing games with Ferrari represented. I played it back in the day and it's really not that great. It's like a really bland, limited Gran Turismo seemingly fit only for people that are really, really into Ferraris. But that's just my two cents.

I said come in! posted:If it's cheap enough in North America, i'll still buy it. It's good to know where to set my expectations though. I'm really into Ferrari, so it might worth it just to have a go around the tracks with each car. As a racing game it's fine. It looks decent and if you like how Gran Turismo plays you'll enjoy this game. I seem to remember hating the fact that you had to race each track multiple times back to back during the career mode though. It's less of a casual game than GT is that's for sure.

That looks worse than Shadow of Rome and that came out six years ago.

Dominic White posted:Yeah, DMC4 wasn't a bad game by any means. Not as good as 3, perhaps, but probably better than the first two. The worst part about DMC4 is that by the time you get to Dante you realize that you're not going to see anything new in the game and playing as the other goober was actually more fun.

It's really fun and the two characters you can choose from are very different so it's enjoyable for a second playthrough as well. I liked it more than FEAR 2.

No it's definitely not as scary as the first one but the gunplay is still really solid.

ChetReckless posted:It's not every day you see a game where the cutscenes look drastically worse than the gameplay. Deus Ex: HR on the PC was like this. Hell, most games on the PC that use prerendered cutscenes look terrible because they're all compressed to poo poo for file size reasons.

So I'm guessing it's worse looking than the patched PC version? Because if so that's a shame.

Kind of hard to tell. All of the videos I've found for the PC version are using really nice looking texture replacement packs so that's obviously going to be the best looking one out there but I don't know how vanilla PC fares. I mean look at these (switch to HD mode): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfYZgXho-hg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BewP19BBDzc Also PC version supremacy I guess: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EBn92nYSL4

Parkingtigers posted:Is magic essential in Demon's Souls? As I say, I prefer swords over spells every time. I'm just conscious that with the royal (not knowing this in advance obviously) that the ranged magic attack is much better and more effective than my sword attack. I just ... well I just want to use my sword. It may sound stupid ... alright, it IS stupid, but I've been dying far more than I should simply because I don't pull the wand out enough as I want to get some slashy stabby death action going. It's not essential but it makes things easier when you're first learning. Besides the Soul Arrow spell which kicks the poo poo out of things there is also a great Water Shield spell that works wonders one two of the bosses and a Shield spell that's just fantastic all around. I've played the poo poo out of Demon's Souls but only beaten it once and that was with a combined magic and scimitar/rapier character.

Yechezkel posted:I got to be honest: I didn't expect Dark Souls to pop up in these. Well the first game was getting so popular in the states and being imported so much that it was causing stock problems for people actually trying to buy the Asian copies of the game in Asia. FROM struck a chord that really resonated with a ton of people and I'm glad to see Dark Souls getting equal love.

Similar to Shank I feel like Rocketbirds is one of those games with nice art and awesome animation but falls way short on gameplay.

But that's just about every game, the only difference being that Call of Duty, Forza, and a handful of others actually tell you what the problem with your game is instead of just straight up not working. I'd rather there be an error that says "HEY HERE'S THE PROBLEM" instead of a vague "CONNECTION ERROR" or even worse no error thrown but you have no idea why you can't host a game or use your mic.

Policenaut posted:Dark Souls is better than Demon's in basically every possible way, I don't think I could actually go back and play Demon's now. I think Demon's is easier to solo than Dark but since I've never had a problem finding help in Dark it hasn't been an issue.

Crows Turn Off posted:It's super-cheap now so I'd say it's worth the price. There is a TON to do in the game and it set the standard for open-world games when it came out. It did? I know the graphics were good for the time (even though I think GTA4 has already aged terribly, ugh those shadows are awful) but what did GTA4 do that even other games in the series hadn't already done?

Driver: Parallel Lines had a better wanted system than GTA4 did what with cops either knowing your face, your car, or both and being able to ditch them using tools like tinted windows to hide your identity or switching cars if they didn't know what they were looking for. It was actually really cool in that respect. The concept of car ownership and upgrading your vehicles was also handled really well in that game. But I'll agree about car handling. I actually liked the really heavy feel of the cars in GTA4, much better than the weightless Micro Machines feel the other games had.

I haven't played the game but just listening to them talk about the technical challenges they overcame in the train sequence of UC2 and even more so the cruise ship sequence in UC3 makes my brain hurt.

Policenaut posted:So did anyone get Hydrophobia? I got it for free on PS+ and decided to dive into it to take a break from Sonic Generations and Jesus it feels dated. Like I'm playing some late 2007-era 360 port. It's an awful loving game. Thankfully by the time you're just about done with the lovely voice acting, terrible bloom, boring Tomb Raider-lite elements, and simplistic shooting it just...ends. Like the most abrupt ending I've ever seen less than three hours into the game. It's silly.

Jimbot posted:If the game fails to perform to expectations you can be sure that the head of Ninja Theory will be blaming Capcom for their lack of support or whatever. He's done so after every release. He's Dennis Dyack lite. I don't think Dyack has too much of a leg to stand on nowadays though: http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming...assive-layoffs/ quote:According to sources that know the company, the Canadian developer has laid off 75-percent of its staff, going from 97 employees to 25. When even your wife gets the axe there's something deeply wrong. Or maybe two things deeply wrong, Two Human and X-Men: Destiny.

It doesn't help matters when after your game comes out with all kinds of obvious problems that you start swinging your fists and ranting about how it's everyone's fault but your own. Whatever goodwill gamers had towards Dyack built up from Eternal Darkness went right out the window after he started acting like a little bitch to everyone regarding Too Human.

Goddamn does Skyrim own. I'm barely two hours into it and I'm already running around like some sort of insane Sith Lord dual-wielding spectral swords, shocking wolves to death, and reanimating the corpses of my foes to fight alongside me. I'm hooked.
