There are a bunch of different options presented to you when you start a new game, with a different reward depending on what you pick: "I like MGS1!" - AUSCAM camouflage "I like MGS2!" - Desert Tiger camouflage and Raiden Mask in the intro cutscene "I like MGS3!" - Flecktarn camouflage and Green and Brown face paints "I like MGS4!" - DPM camouflage "I like MGS PEACE WALKER!" - Banana camouflage "I like all the MGS games!" - Grenade camouflage "I'm playing MGS for the first time!" - Mummy camouflage

You know I'm liking DMC1 so far but the whole fixed camera thing can suck a dick, makes some of the boss fights harder than they should be I'm fighting the first miniboss inside of the underworld, the thing that rises out of the pool of goo, and it keeps moving its weak point out of view of the camera which loving sucks combined with how briefly the weak point shows up and the thing's constant barrage of spikes/bullets/whatever That level sure looks cool so far though

God of War 4 will have 4v4 multiplayer. It's class-based where you play as spartans (Kratos isn't present in multiplayer) and your abilities are based on which god you worhsip. Gameplay revolves around teamwork to control/slay giant boss characters by the looks of things? It's certainly unique that's for sure! Pretty shocking too since everybody was expecting some generic co-op mode but it seems like they've kinda invented a whole new style of gameplay judging by descriptions of the media (no gameplay footage is released yet, only screenshots).

The GoW: Ascension guys are talking a big game about keeping things fresh and not just making the same game over and over. I hope it's not bullshit. If the multiplayer looks as cool as it sounds and they make some changes to the single player to keep it interesting I will go from  to excited.

I platinumed both 1 and 2, and only didn't platinum 3 because it requires an online pass.

Uncharted 1 is much tougher on Crushing but it's still very achievable. It might require playing differently - especially if you're used to just taking cover and not moving.

Then sometimes they literally crank all the numbers to +500 and call it a day (Uncharted) I really disagree with this. Like seriously disagree. Crushing changes up the AI for the game in a strong way. Enemies are far more apt to use grenades to wedge you out of cover and punish you faster when you fire peeking out of cover. If you play through a fight hiding behind the same cover, you making it way harder for yourself. Blind fire, always move closer, and brutal combos are key in Crushing. Take cover when the shooting starts and get a sense for where people are. Find the fringe shooters (the ones at the left or right flank) and move from cover to cover to get close to them while keeping cover from the others. Rush from cover and blind fire and finish with a steel fist or brutal combo. If you need to, fire while you move from cover to get early hits in. Uncharted has very generous auto aim while blind firing to help this approach. Use grenades to stagger as well or force them to dodge because they don't shoot while diving for cover so you can get closer. Really, the hardest way to play Crushing in UC1 is to be pixel hunting from a distance behind the same cover. They lob grenades with abandon, have very accurate fire almost as soon as you get crosshair to target, and the "duck and weave" AI is a real counter to the Gears of War style of hovering a crosshair over the place you know the head will be popping up from. You are in just as much danger being close as being far away because of their accuracy. And most of the distant cover in the game has you being shot successfully from three or four guys at one time. Embrace blind fire and steel fist and you'll find Crushing is really more fun because of the more mobile enemies. The game is designed around cover, shooting, and melee and even rewards this by giving you bonus ammo for melee kills. You are highly mobile so you should use that. Of course, you need to keep your head and watch out for Shotguns because those are your nemesis on Crushing because they like it when you get close. But those are what grenades are for to stagger them and take their Shotgun.

Stare-Out posted:I guess since they're mostly giving out multiplayer information it's to soften the blow, so to speak, to avoid groans about tacked on multiplayer if they revealed this at E3. I guess they'll focus more on single player stuff at E3. Yeah the guy just mentioned that they'd be talking about the new single player features "later," which probably means E3. That said, I like what I see of the multiplayer. If they can execute the concept properly it should be a fun addition. e: Also UStream is a piece of poo poo and keeps freezing for me.

Ape Agitator posted:
See, I've found myself often needing to seek much more cover than I did during my Hard playthrough because trying changing cover spots to move up, there is usually some pirate with dead-eye pistol accuracy sitting at the back of the area. I can rarely get a brutal combo in without being taken out by else where or even just firing from the hip and finishing with a punch. Maybe it is just a symptom of Chapters 4 & 5 (I just started Chapter 8) but I'm not able to fight nearly as mobile as I'd like.

Uncharted 1 isn't that hard to plat compared to say CoD: World at War. Crushing is pretty manageable if you do it immediately after beating hard and your memory of enemy layouts/spawns is still fresh in your mind.

So GoW multiplayer is Spartans vs Trojans? Guess the single player will be based on the Trojan wars then? I guess that's all they have left on Greek mythology.

Maybe it is just a symptom of Chapters 4 & 5 (I just started Chapter 8) but I'm not able to fight nearly as mobile as I'd like. If there's a guy at the back, use him as your pace meter if he's being especially problematic. Consider him your cover priority and make sure there are blocks or pillars blocking him from you. Enemies are just as deadly close as at range so anyone who acts like a sniper needs to be countered with it. As for having enough time to pull off a brutal combo, it's more about reading the field and doing what's possible at the time. I always take cover and just get a sense of where people are so that I can approach safely. If you're in a "rows and rows of short cover" type situations, blind fire at a distance can cause them to duck or otherwise stagger giving you pause for advance or to get in a brutal combo over a guy you've gotten close to. And a grenade is always a good method for giving you time because enemies generally become useless from the moment the grenade is in the air to a few seconds after it detonates. I almost never get grenade kills in UC1 because the enemies are pretty smart about getting out of the way but they never shoot while getting out of the way. Also, you just need to work on the idea that it takes a lot of risk to get close and that you're going to take a bullet or two. Developing a pace for moving between cover that balances healing while blind firing and seeing the "this is where I can rush this guy" is part of what makes Crushing super fun to play. It's a hell of a lot of improvisation and finding windows or making windows wider. If you get a long distance blind fire hit on a problematic sniper, leap out of cover because he's going to stagger for a couple of seconds. And abandon any long term relationship with one gun. UC1 has me cycling to picked up weapons constantly because of the low amount of stored ammo (much less than UC2 and UC3). Steel Fist will reward you with bonus ammo but even still you have to live off the land and any bullet in the general direction of the enemy is better than pixel hunting with your last dozen AK rounds. Edit: Shalinor posted:The only part of Uncharted 1 I will outright say is bullshit No, those whole sections are a stain on the game in any circumstance. Awful gameplay and spamming grenades at pixels is about all you can do. Edit: I agree, Plane Wrecked and the Blue Cistern (big blue room) are the two hardest fights in terms of challenge. The former is generally low cover and a mixture of shotgun guys added in. Very challenging but you can use the segments of taller cover to help shield you while you move and position for ambushes on the shotguns. The Blue room is hard because it changes constantly with people up above, extra dudes hopping in, and poor visibility. Many times I never knew where the threat was so I literally ran always and tried to stumble on people I could beat up and then start running again. It is insane but thrilling. Also, blindfire the gently caress out of those assholes on the upper tiers who make life painful. V V V V Ape Agitator fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Apr 30, 2012 |

Remember how PS+ members are supposed to get Awesomenauts for free tomorrow? Now, maybe not so much. Apparently the developer -- DTP Entertainment -- is going bankrupt. At least we still get Rock of Ages (on the 15th), Trine 2, Symphony of the Night, etc. edit -- Or maybe we will. If you have an Xbox, though, you may not be so lucky.
