FYI Adam Jensen will gently caress you up if you hide your valuables in the middle or bottom drawers of your desk. He's a busy man; he has no time for that poo poo.

Pablo Gigante posted:I got Vanquish a couple of weeks ago and I'm honestly kinda bored with it :\ I've been trying to play it like everyone says, not just a cover shooter but using the boost and bullet time features, but it all feels rather samey to me. I only just started playing a few days ago since I wanted something short to play before I get into Team Ico HD, but I'm not sure if I'll bother finishing it. Also, am I crazy, or can you only dive in 4 (or was it 8) directions, rather than just where your stick is pointing in 360 degrees?

I recently purchased a PS3 along with the following games to kickstart my collection: - Uncharted 1&2 - Infamous - Burnout Paradise - Mod Nation Racers - Metal Gear Solid 4 - LA Noire - Assassins Creed Brotherhood - Little Big Planet 2 - God of War 3 - Killzone 3 - Red Dead Redemption Needless to say I went a bit overboard... Any suggestions as to what to play first? I'm looking for a game that I can easily get into given my lack of spare time at the moment.

Oh my God I just found out Dark Souls is coming out next week. There are too many games coming out. I thought I'd never say that there are too many games, and I'm broke as hell.

Uncharted and Assassin's Creed sequels come out in November, so maybe those to see if you like them enough to grab the sequels?

Burnout, same thing. The Uncharted games don't take much to get into, either -- they're fast paced and pretty straightforward.

Aphrodite posted:So the contest officially starts the day the multiplayer opens? No, not yet. Some guy on NeoGAF emailed someone in the Subway PR department and was told to expect seeing stuff on the 29th. Another person also got a cup that I think they said had a code right on the side. But I don't know how much stock i put into it.

It was just confirmed today that Gran Turismo 5 is getting a massive update in the 3rd week of October, and DLC the week after that.  But we don't know at all what that really means. The update will bring the game up to version 2.0 though.

A couple of tidbits regarding the Subway Uncharted 3 MP codes. EVERY cup has a code for MP. Chips and sandwiches get you codes for OTHER unlockables, but the MP access is on EVERY (marked) soda cup. Some stores are 'privately owned' and may not be participating in this promotion. It's said to start the 29th, but like, don't know if that means thats the first day the cups will make it out into the wild, or the first day the game goes live or what...

I'm almost to the end of New Vegas and holy gently caress is this a good game. Some of the missions the cannibalism thing in the Ultra Luxe with the White Glove Society really, really feel like oldschool Fallout / Fallout 2 missions. This is such a good game. If I didn't have a sealed up copy of Deus Ex waiting for me plus Dark Souls right around the corner I'd jump on my next playthrough. Which I still need to do for Catherine, still. loving PS3, stop having so much good stuff.

I have never bought a strategy guide before, but: http://www.amazon.ca/Dark-Souls-Official-Guide-Hardcover/dp/3869930489/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1317230520&sr=8-5 Buying the gently caress out of this. I can't imagine getting through Demon's Souls without having the official guide next to me for information about crafting, enemies, boss strategies, etc.

I have the Future Press Vanquish guide just because the design was so nice throughout. It also was pretty well written in general, but the design was really slick.

The themes included with the ICO collection kind of suck. Not really surprising, as almost every theme I've seen on the PS3 pretty much makes text impossible to read. Some of the bonus videos are good, even if I'm seen them before, and there's what looks to be some new footage of TLG in the video "walking in the footsteps of giants". At least I hadn't seen bits and pieces of what they showed. Still haven't unlocked the new trailer or whatever. I'm guessing I'll have to beat one or both games for that. SotC is really loving beautiful now. It's a crying shame that they didn't at least tweak the camera controls a bit. The camera feels like it's actively fighting you, as if it wants to show a very specific camera angle at a given time. If it would just not try to move after I move it, it'd be perfect.

The absolute worst is when you try to aim your bow and arrow. The camera switches to where your character is facing, rather than where the camera is facing, which is annoying as hell.

This takes some getting used to but it isn't that bad. I think I prefer it to following the camera because I have no real problem pointing my little dude in the right direction but aiming the camera is the biggest bitch in the world. It's nice being able to go to targeting mode and have the camera swing around to wherever you pointed yourself instead of spinning my character around to point himself at the floor or the wall or wherever the camera decided I really, really should be looking. Though I guess that one colossus where you have to shoot it in the face while riding away was a bit of a pain in the rear end because of that. Incidentally, getting on that god. drat. horse.

Ugh, going back to your last save every time you die in Ico is really annoying. It's not usually too bad since the save points aren't too far away from each other but there's something really frustrating about having to do the same puzzles over again. Also the controls are a bit loose so dying isn't always fair. Anyways, liking it so far. Kind of reminds me of Limbo. Though I guess it should be that Limbo reminds me of Ico.

However, at least the battles seem to go faster once you know where to stab, dodge etc. I died 10 times in that game. As for the controls, yeah they are a bit lose. Takes a bit to get used to I would say. But you have to agree, nothing more breathtaking than looking up seeing a huge monster tower over you and you only have your sword and bow..

I just got Ico/SotC in the mail. I've been super excited to play it, I didn't get a chance on PS2, except demos in walmart back in the day. I'm four colossi in and I don't think I can continue. The controls and camera are just so uncontrollable. I've played third person games for decades and I've never had this much trouble controlling a game.  Does anyone have any tips on fixing my issues (or dealing better), or is it just not my cup of tea? Sudden Loud Noise fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Sep 29, 2011 |

ColdCock posted:I picked up Dead Space for 15 bones last night only to realize I was a complete moron for not playing it way back when it came out. What an amazing game! It's a solid game but considerably different from DS1. More action-y and a lot of the tension is replaced with hordes. Also, you talk. Maybe see if you can find a used copy for less than 20.

To me it was almost an Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2 like difference. Not quite that great but man is it good. It also has one of my favorite/least favorite enemies in any game. They're so loving annoying but any scene with them is awesome.
