The races are also incredibly loving easy, probably easiest part of the game, though one of the racing story missions does apparently have a bug in it where an important npc keeps getting run over, but that never happened to me so i guess there's a way around it

Ok, so it turns out all the criticisms aimed at Dungeon Siege 3 don't really affect me in the slightest as i'm finding it an excellent purchase (£10 is an absolute steal) I notice it's made by obsidian, did they work on the engine or was it an already established one, because it's probably the least buggy game of their's that i've ever played. Writing isn't too bad, though not up to their usual scratch the stonebridge clockwork golems are amusing though Also...gently caress, Uncharted 3, Skyrim, Dark Souls, Saints Row the 3rd, Disgaea 4, it's a good year for hopefully high quality sequels. It's a bad year to be dirt poor also

Shalinor posted:Where are you seeing it that cheap? Amazon has the 360 version for $34, which isn't bad, and the PS3 for $40-ish, but not seeing anything lower. Very specifically a Tesco store in England for £12 minus 10% staff discount, that's how. I'm pretty sure i ripped someone off but that company has been loving with my hours for the past two years so gently caress it. Got Bayonetta for £9 off them about six months ago as well. They're selling Infamous 2 for £42 though so it's only somethings that are a good deal on very few occasions.

Code Jockey posted:I nearly gave up at this too. It's really loving hard, and requires a lot of luck. Just memorize the positions of things and pray for good luck. :/ The rest of the game is totally worth that bullshit though, I promise. I had to restart from checkpoint about a dozen times, which was not cool, but each time i managed to get a little further, so I don't know if that's just dumb luck or maybe the game giving you a little extra resistance each time, but I agree, an absolute poo poo of a mission. The solemness of the final mission really was fantastic, even if it wasn't really a proper mission, sort of similar to the end of Red Dead Redemption, it was more a means of tying off the story then actually positing one final challenge to the player. I have one Platinum only, for AC2, but The Saboteur is the next closest percentage to plat for me, I just need to blow up all of paris, and a few trophies are going to need restarting the game, so i'll probably never get there.

You can get 1st hand (right terminology?) games for second hand prices eventually nowadays anyway, and I paid nearly 10 quid to play Uncharted 2 multiplayer since all the fun maps were DLC. So long as project $10 actually goes to the developers i'm game. Of course in the UK we don't have an equivelant to Gamestop who will probably try to pass off second hand titles as brand new

Jolo posted:Ugh. The Valley of Defilement was all I had standing in my way to beat Demon's Souls. The whole area was so miserable that I ended up selling the game off unbeaten. There's only really one bad stretch of swamp in world 5, it just so happens that that one stretch is loving horrible to navigate. Once you get the shortcut through to the shanty-town set up the rest of world 5 isn't as bad. I would argue that the Maneater fight in 3-2 is worse than the whole of world 5. Dark Souls is going to be worse than all of worlds 1-5, and I just wish i was playing it now instead of some point next week thanks to Amazon's supersaver delivery

Dr Geek posted:How long does it take to beat Nier? I'm 13 hours in and just finished the part where while fighting a statue in the lost shrine, Kaine gets impaled and turns into a shade and you fight her. I'm definitely enjoying the game, but I can feel Dark Souls calling to me. I wanted to finish Nier first but if it's gonna be another 13 hours or something I'm just gonna jump in to Dark Souls. I have a feeling you're pretty much halfway through, though the latter half of the game can be easily done in about five hours if you're not bothering with the 'spergy sidequests. Definitely not a long game though

Mercury Crusader posted:On the other hand, I have to keep a careful eye on any future NIS game purchases lately, and not for good reasons. While I enjoy NIS-developed games like Disgaea and Phantom Brave, I pretty much have to avoid games that are just NISA-published such as Atelier Iris and, well, Cross Edge. Nowadays I have to be careful when I see that NIS America tag on a game so I don't accidentally purchase something like Last Rebellion and Hyperdimension Neptunia. Atelier Rorona is the tits, and i've heard good things about its sequel I'd love to see more large scale JRPGs appear on the PS3, maybe something along the lines of Xenoblade Chronicles, which I haven't played but looks fantastic. Maybe a remake of Rogue Galaxy where it doesn't suck too

The real question i want an answer to is: is it a buggy piece of poo poo that often ruins the fun, like SR2 was? I've put Skyrim to one side for now because I don't have enough time to properly enjoy it, and am playing Atelier Rorona, which is an incredibly chill game. Totori just came out recently in the UK, was wondering who here has played it and could possibly tell me what changes have been made, for better or worse?

Troffen posted:The game is even more chill than Rorona. Instead of deadlines every 3 months, you have one deadline at the end of 3 years, and unless you slack off big time, it's really easy to make. You can now turn in requests if the items are in your basket or container, the game won't make requests for items you haven't seen before or can't make yet, and a there's a bunch of other little improvements. It's a much better game IMO. I couldn't finish Rorona, but I'm on my second playthrough of Totori. That sounds pretty bitching, I've seen a few battle videos and it seems they've sexed that up as well. I completed Rorona and am working through it a second time now I understand how it all works, so I'm sure Totori would be right up my street. Would be nice to see a polished HD remake of one of the Atelier Iris games, with that awesome battle system and spritework

PS3 version is perfectly playable, even if i did end up wrecking an HDTV out of rage whilst fighting one of the bosses.

EDIT: Also, i'm really enjoying the episodic nature of the game, and the fact that you can go back and redo things if you missed anything. FFXIII-2 almost shamelessly steals a lot of ideas from FFX-2 in the missions structure, episodic nature and even the plot basically being the same (girl loses sister, goes on adventures through time with an assortment of freaks and uncovers a far more sinister plot, compared to girl loses boyfriend, goes on wild adventure across the lands with an assortment of freaks only to find a far more sinister plot). X-2 will probably end up being the superior article after everything is said and done, but i'm still enjoying this immensely and do not regret this purchase at all, even if it is my last one in a while Polite Tim fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Feb 6, 2012 |

I'm gonna chime in before the hate train starts chuffing away, it's got good gameplay and there's a hell of a lot of content but It won't really be in any way a similar experience to SO1. Also the story is piss poor and the characters are borderline offensively bad. Having said that, if the price is right it's fun to play and has a reasonably good difficulty curve

Argubly, good games don't really need a sequel, especially a 40-60 hour rpg. Follow up maybe, or something thematically similar, like how Disgaea 1 was followed by phantom brave and makai kingdom. I can't imagine RoF needing another game, unless they use the game engine and a slightly more varied combat system in a completely different setting, maybe a modern era ninja game with swords and guns or something set in medieval europe Also, FFXIII needed a sequel because the combat system was great but not much else was

That doesn't count the loving Colosseum, though, but that's side-quest stuff. There was only one vaguely challenging fight in the main game of Yakuza 3 as far as I can remember, and that was mainly because he spent most of the fight throwing you about like a fart in the wind. The colloseum destroyed me though, won a single fight then got stunlocked into oblivion. Stunlocking is never a good thing

Most times you can fight until you get bored and there's almost no risk. I do remember someone saying right at the beginning of the series development, perhaps even after the first ever trailer for AC1 came out, that combat was extremely dangerous and sword strikes would be one or two hit kills (kinda like how combat works in the rainbow six games), but i guess focus groups didn't like it so they changed it.

Wildtortilla posted:Really? Demon Souls never loses steam? I've been taking a break from Dark Souls to play Ico + Shadow of the Colossus and SSX, but I think Demon Souls will be next in line after those games, again edging out Uncharted 2. DS throws out a really lovely level towards the end that noone likes and that can be offputting, though once you get through it the rest of the game is still pretty good. World tendency was a cool idea in theory but in practice was a bit of a mess which is why i'm glad it's not in Dark Souls The Uncharted games really are best played completely blind. Being so linear, if you even watch gameplay videos of it that can make the game rather underwhelming. I've tried to avoid info on the third game because I still haven't played it but i loved the first two.

Literally just finished Uncharted 3 a moment ago, and there's nothing wrong with it per se, although it didn't seem to have the wow factor of the second game, as well as the last few chapters pretty much being Identical to the Shamabala section in 2 surely Drake should know not to fire explosives in an underground city when he's already commented on his surprise that the ceiling hasn't already caved in. Spoilering the next section just in case: The main problem I see is that Marlowe and Talbot never seemed like that big a threat compared to Zoran Lazaravic's insane brutality, meglomania and world destroying quest for power. Sure they're seeking some ancient hallucinagen in order to take over the world but they seem a little smarmy about it and I never felt like I should be frightened of them like I was with Lazaravic. Uncharted 1 had the same problem with Billy Englishman. It was refreshing to have the game end with no mystical creatures whatsoever (I thought oh dear when the Djinn warriors started to appear but them being a figment of Drake's imagination was a refreshing twist to the conventional formula)

Uncharted 2 was packed to the gills with body armoured shock troopers, 3 didn't have that many really. There were a fair few oversized bully boys to have fisticuffs with and that was kind of repetative. I think they could have replaced the whole Rameses section with Marlowe capturing Drake and keeping him on that cruise ship, which could have made possible a conversation where we actually find out all that ambiguity about Drake's past etc and still preserved that fantastic level. Rameses really was a pointless character in many respects.
