ShoogaSlim posted:Good timing. Yesterday the final battle (which I didn't realize was the final battle) was driving me absolutely insane. I stopped, watched a youtube video on how to go about it all and attempted it again just before and did much better. I didn't even realize that it was the last fight. I guess it's fitting that it was the hardest part of the game but jesus christ. I don't even remember what difficulty I had it on but I have absolutely zero desire to play through again to get more trophies. Still a sweet game, though. And considering I just got Gears 3 this week... Killzone 2 still looks better A fun KZ2 playthrough is; easy, no hud, no crosshair, and using the knife as much as possible and M4 pistol only, for gun parts. It is amazing how  Sev can be.3 doesn't let you have that same fun but I had a much more enjoyable experience overall, but it could be because I like easier games. The vehicle sections I thought were really fun, but I'm probably in the minority on that.

Anyone have experience with Child of Eden? I'm looking to pick it up in 2012 feb, since it should get a price drop by then, and it looks really phenominal. I heard it is short but has the replay value to make up for it. If nothing else it is a beautiful game and even if it is linear and static I am willing to shell out some dough come Feb. Oh I also got a full PSmove, 2 wands, navi, spare DS3, and edit: VVV amazon has it for $40 PS3, $30 for 360. With no kinect I wont be getting it on 360, even if I could barrow my brothers kinect. I am looking at $20-30 price range, though if it lacks real value I think I can wait. I did wait some 7-9(?)years for REZ HD, which I think was totally worth it.

I was just going to be playing with a controller anyways and the trophies just weren't an extra $20/few months of waiting for me, so I got it. Thanks. Might need to get some  for when it drops.

Ineffiable posted:Hey you know Child of Eden is likely to be released on PSN (It was released on the xbox Games on Demand) As much as I would love to gameshare with random goon strangers, I'm the kind of guy that would rather purchase at full price from PSN, as stupid as it sounds. I especially find this hilarious in regards to the history me and sony have. Anyhow, if that is the case, I might just wait and pick it up day 1 as a digital since that actually would be a preferred medium, for this type of game. Thanks for the heads up though.

axleblaze posted:Pixeljunk Sidescroller is extremely underwhelming. It's like they took all the comments about how shooter "wasn't really a shooter" personally and wanted to prove they could make a traditional shooter with the same engine. So what we have is a very bare bones game that's obviously using the assets of another game but throwing a graphics filter over the whole thing that makes it all look nearly not nearly as good. Even the music seems like it was just outtakes from Shooter rather than specifically created for the this game. It feels more like an unlockable bonus feature in Shooter than a stand alone game. Sidescroller is the only pixel/junk game I've liked and actually purchased. I do like my shmups though. I'm more pleased with sidescroller than inFamous:FoB. Though FoB is pretty awesome too.

I like that you don't need to grind levels, you can take out opponents with good tactics, not just brute force. Though some characters are a bit overpowered, though that is probably the anime seeping in, not so much levels/stats/min-maxing. I suggest going with all Darcsen characters just because they are the underdogs and hated on. Not even terrible animes deserve that much hate.

There is a simple menu spot under the PSN store that has "Exclusive on Playstation Network" as well, which will simply solve what digital download titles are only on ps3. Come to think of it, wouldn't it be easier to just post the goddamn ps3 exclusive wiki list? I think VGBC recommend me post along with no MULTIPLATFORM is hilarious, since a lot of multiplat titles are now better on ps3 due to additional free content, like Deadspace 2, medal of honor, and LA noire. But y'know, no point telling a brick wall this. By the way if you want to bitch about the controller buy a lovely 3rd party xbox clone, or a XIM keyboard/mouse controller, there are a ton of options for the ps3. To actually post something relevant, BUY LAIR, a perfect ps3 exclusive VGBC will love. Katamari forever

That loving Sned posted:Both the PS3 and DS versions sold terribly in Japan. I have no idea why, I thought they would be all over it. It's odd that the portable version came with a large spell book and the home console version didn't, but unless Level-5 really did drop the ball with them, I'm still looking forward to playing it. Sending messages to friends that show up on their noby is pretty fun. Also 2011x multiplier makes that 3,000m stretch into something really special.  I'm not sure if it is an accomplishment but getting to rank 1152/131739 for noby noby boy feels pretty good considering I'm in the Top 10% of contributors to get this princess bitch to Uranus.  I doubt the community will get to see Pluto though, that is one far away hunk of rock. Another reason Noby owns is the "hold square"->starts the in game videocapture tool->poop out a youtube sized/encoded video file.Also while getting the noby cap I thought I'd post this since WipeOut HD was mentioned. Love the ability to do photography in games, sometimes it is nice trying to get a good looking screenshot than worrying about winning or whatever.  edit; why don't more games feature this.

KimchiHead posted:I heard red dead redemption is vastly superior on the PS3 than XBOX 350. It's so much better, it may as well be an exculsive. I'd get that. Not to YCS but no. PS3 only has 1 exclusive hideout for sam which sucks and is useless. You do however get a nice reduced resolution @ 640p, like GTA4, instead of 720. Bugs are about on par and draw distance is the same, with less LOD and less grass on screen. Nothing that really changes gameplay, only cosmetic changes but with ROCKSTAR being the wisenheims they decided there will be no RDR on pc, so as it stands, 360 only has a slight edge in visuals, nothing more. On a personal opinions the ps3 controls sucked, but I was really holding out for a PC release so I might see some mods, like GTA4.

Mercury Crusader posted:You know, I played the game again when the Undead DLC came out, and I swear they patched in that "exclusive hideout" in the main game of the 360 version, since I rode past an area that had a hideout where there wasn't one before. Don't recall the name of it, but I'm assuming it was the same one as the PS3 exclusive one. You know what, it could be, I really only remember from when ps3v360 came out and the hideout was touted as exclusive at the time. I got to play some of RDR from my roomies copy a long time ago but goddamn I wanted a pc version. I just hate the use of microsoft's moon bucks for DLC, nor did I have the space on my hdd. I swore since GTA4 was on pc that I could wait for an eventual PC release. I didn't want to be suckered in and buy the same game twice over like GTA4. In the end only rockstar loses since I have TONs of other games to play. A real shame and a terrible business decision since I know of at least 3 other PC only players that would have purchased RDR at $50 without the undead nightmare.

MUFFlNS posted:I don't think the intention was to nuke the planet, they just wanted to destroy Stahl's ship since it was so dangerous and packing some nasty form of new bio weaponry on it. The problem was that when it hit, since the ship was over a huge well of the stuff (as well as containing a whole bunch of weaponry developed with it) it obviously triggered a chain reaction that none of the ISA guys expected. You even hear them act shocked at the end about the whole planet being fried, and Rico expresses sadness at whatever fate they assume fell upon the population of Helghan since their whole goal was to simply stop Stahl. What jungle? the WHOLE PLANET was toasted. You can clearly see the shockwave encompasses the ENTIRETY of the planet. The only way the soldiers at the end "survived" is they probably were in space when it happened and chased after the escape pod. I'm sure it is not Visari in the pod too as some speculated in the KZ3 thread. I thought KZ3 was leagues better than 2. I even enjoyed the MP a shitton more than 2, though I think that is because I wasn't forced to grind out each class for some silly trophies. I might end up buying the map pack bundle for $10 if KZ3 has another bonus XP event. Now that I own a MOVE it might be fun to revisit the game and try out the MP aspect using the move.

I used orders maybe 3 times, of that once was to get a nearly dead teammate out of harms way. The other times I am sure were just simple heals. Thankfully I played VC2 mostly the same way with little use of the order system. Again I think only to get badly injured teammates out of harms way or evacuate them off the field so I can deploy someone else. The player in that video could have done better by capping the camp, and at least kill 2 other grunts. The player will finish the map in 1 turn anyways, might as well make the most of it.

(for fun not a simple trophy grind) Which I think is the reason I can forgive a lot of lovely design decisions. If I wanted to play competitively, well I would be on GGs forums bitching about it ceaselessly, or suggesting how to improve on some of their terrible ideas. I'm not "excited" about 4, but I'm 3 titles in so far so chances are I will buy it.

MUFFlNS posted:Enemies in Killzone 3 were using the lightning gun which had me excited that I could pick it up when I killed them but noooooooo, freakin' things disappear from existence when you kill the soldiers carrying them I only played gears3 with goons, the game was fun but short lived due to most jumping ship to MW3 or other newer games. I enjoyed gears3 for what it was worth. I never got sawed-off or felt terribly cheated from a death, though I maybe put 5 hours in competitive mp. I got Gears for co-op primarily, then the hoard/beast secondary, competitive is last just because it is simple and formulaic with grab power weapons gameplay. Not bad, just not exactly my cup of tea. (How on Earth I enjoy Uncharted more, is odd since it follows that same formula, sans shotgun-fest.) I had no problem at all with Gears multiplayer, in fact Gears1 is my top rated MP experience ever due to how awesome private goon matches were. I have a soft spot for it since it is the last exclusive for 360, it features manly men with bigass guns and Gears was the reason I purchased a 360, on the same day the PS3 came out, no less. Maybe we should drop Gears because this is getting a bit off topic from the KZ3 discussion. As for killzone 3 MP, all I cared about was reviving teammates, using the only worthwhile assault rifle and planting proxy mines on enemy ammo crates. It was the simpler things that I got enjoyment out of, not so much leveling up all the classes, unlocking every perk or reaching top rank.

I got an email from sony that has 3 PSN+ 30 day trails. 2 are for my friends and 1 is for me. What is the likely hood of the friends codes working for me, after I redeem my code? I figure it is probably easy for sony to track those activations like under user-privileges or something in account management, so it would invalidate any sort of "friend" use code, like if a friend was to give me the same thing in return. I guess to clarify should I use the "friend's" code first, then use my code? I want to maximize on my psn+ trail, since I have been debating getting + anyways for the last month or so. I also got an email about  TRINE 2 hitting PSN 12/20. Very excited it is coming out so soon.

I gave my beta code to my roomie who is the only person that has shown me some sort of interest in warhawk. For what it is worth he hasn't updated his ps3 in sometime nor does he regularly play games on it. I'm not in any sort of rush, I have the "public" beta sitting in my copy of UC3 still, so it isn't like I wont get to try it out later, when it is possibly even "better". Last night I purchased beat hazard and I have to say it was worth every drat penny. Still as amazing as the pc version and runs extremely smooth even with 10000drones and 2 bosses on screen. Now just to get Trine 2 and PixelJunk 4AM when they drop and I am set until 2012.

After a good session of Beat Hazard and wipeout HD last night, I have come to the conclusion I can't think of any other game that even comes close to pooping out so much eyecandy, color, and syncs perfect with music as these two games. Also love the photography mode Wipeout HD has built in, too bad there is no replay theatre to get the good shots. more wipeout here-> http://imgur.com/a/SZtTd/all   I had to steal a screenshot from beat hazard on pc because the game is too intense for my capcard to handle without some artifacting and compression issues. Chard posted:Just read that the SSX reboot coming in February will allow custom music libraries via the harddrive in the PS3, complete with dynamic environment effects. Fuuuuuuuck yeeeeeaeaaaaaaaahhhhh!!! That sounds awesome. While I am not hugely interested in SSX, custom music is a great addition to ANY game.

Hatter106 posted:Gave the Vanquish demo another shot since I learned that Platinum was developing Metal Gear Rising... a few thoughts... It sounds like you are using the wrong weapon for the situation. The other thing to remember is you can trigger bullet time pretty much whenever, you just have to perform some sort of cool maneuver to do so. Try rolling and activating it, slide->melee->activate while in air, hope over a piece of cover->activate. If you want to like the game, there is an [Auto]Casual and Casual difficulties that are really fun, without having to worry too much about life/accuracy/ammo. The closes thing to a life bar is the ARS bar, because if you ever get too damaged it will activate automatically, which is a sign that you need to get to cover quick. If it activates automatically and there isn't much time left, then you are pretty much going to die.
