Ein Bear posted:It was quite cool to start Gears of War 3 a few days ago and unlock a bunch of stuff for having achievements in GoW1/2. Do any PS3 games do anything similar? If you had saves for the previous Ratchet and clank PS3 games you got a discount on new weapons and an extra skin for ratchet. In Resistance 3 earning trophies (and multiplayer medals) gives you points which you buy extra stuff (like concept art, videos, and in game cheats like infinite ammo, health regen mode and giving enemies better weapons.

Ein Bear posted:I'd bet on it being another Big Boss prequel game. Didn't Kojima show a screenshot from the Fox Engine of Big Boss in a jungle at some talk he did recently or something? I'd guess this too. There's a big gap in the series between 1974 (Peace walker) and 1995 (MG1) I don't think there is anything between these games? (I haven't played PW yet so I dunno how it leaves the story)

BlindNinja posted:I just can't think of the last game I played where the pre-rendered cutscenes looked worse than the actual game. If they're compressed I guess it makes sense, since the only real difference is that they look a bit faded or something. In the God of War collection the in-game cutscenes look hilariously grainy and lovely, especially as when you went back to gameplay everything looked great. Shows what a great job they did on the port I guess?

It's supposed to "improve occasional performance issues resulting from long term play", which I suppose means the horrible lag and freezing that comes from having a big 10+ mb save file. Apparently 1.2 has hosed up a few things, I dunno how much it fixed the problems either. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-30-skyrim-patch-1-2-has-resistance-breaking-bug

Dr Snofeld posted:I fully intend to pick up A Crack In Time once I finish Tools of Destruction. What about Quest for Booty, is that worth playing or is it too short to be satisfying. QFB is only 3-4 hours long and there's no real reason to play again (no challenge mode or anything). Storywise there's nothing too essential, and the intro to ACiT sums it up pretty well. It's still pretty fun, and lots of the Pirates which is always a plus.  The uncharted trilogy is also a must. If you don't have an Xbox 360, Red dead redemption is a fantastic game if you like GTA, as is LA Noire if you like older adventure-style games mixed with GTA mechanics.

Personally I'd add Worms 2, Dungeon Defenders, Wipeout HD and Little Big Planet 2 to that list as well. Is LBP2 on the PS store? I've got $50 to spend too. I was gonna pick up Back to the future game for sure, I really enjoyed the demo.

Policenaut posted:From what I understand Resistance 3 is divorced from the whole Nathan Hale plot of the first two games and is its own thing. The single player is also really, really good I thought. No regenerating health at all (except a cheat code). You don't really need the others two to enjoy it either.

The MGS1 is on the store for  and the MGS collection covers 2, 3 and peace walker (and the 2 MSX games). That covers the entire canon story pretty much.

csidle posted:Well, it's not the passive drive noise, it's rather just various louder ones that happened when new resources were loaded. It seemed to stop being so frequent after ten minutes of play though, and now it's pretty rare. If you're not enjoying it, bump it down to easy. Same experience, just much less frustrating. And when you finish it go and play Uncharted 2 immediately and be amazed how much better it is, in ever sense.

The first Uncharted has some very irritating difficultly spikes here and there, don't be scared to change the difficulty if you keep getting killed at the same checkpoint. 1 is nowhere near the quality of 2 and 3 but it`s still awesome.

If I haven't played either, is Dead rising 2: Off the record a better buy then DR2 vanilla? I don't really care about the story but I liked the photography system from the first and it seems that OTR has had some technical issues fixed. Plus it's $5 cheaper on amazon.ca.

Chip Cheezum posted:If you like backflips and better graphics then you will like Twin Snakes more. If you don't like backflips then you will like the original MGS more. The story is the same in both of them. Two of the characters in Twin Snakes lose their accent they had in MGS1 and they stay that way when they come back in MGS4. I like to imagine MGS1 is how it happened and twin snakes is what Snake tells to some girl in a bar he's trying to score with.  "So yeah baby, then I through the grenade down the tanks barrel and when the guard flew out on fire I punched him in the face and stole his keycard."

Ape Agitator posted:Yeah, I'm in agreement. One of the reasons Dead Rising captured my heart originally was the realtime pressures put on you, which are exceedingly rare in video games. What I don't like are hard stop "game overs" and I wish you could play with her dead but with an appropriate gameplay/ending change. I've just finished my first DR2:OTR run and really enjoyed it. I just hope the next game has less irritating bossfights. I really like the Psychopath idea but the execution is a bit wonky. And none of those loving Gas Zombies.

Ape Agitator posted:There were a couple of inconsistent character moments (seriously, one character's rape is brushed off like nothing) Wait, when was that? I loved RDR, like most people said for the atmosphere, characters, etc. When I first played I did like 2-3 missions and then spent hours hunting, picking flowers, playing poker and just generally exploring the environment. I really hope we get a similar Wild-west GTA-esque game (Maybe a prequel exploring John's Days in the gan??)

I just played the Arkham city demo. It seems like it's a very polished, well made game but I don't get all the hype and 10/10 GOTY praise. Am I missing something with the combat? I just hammered square and occasionally triangle and won.

Dr Snofeld posted:Up until today I had no idea there was a Ratchet and Clank HD collection coming out. Having seen the screenshots, I want it, despite already owning all three games in the pack on PS2. Granted, I already owned all the games in the MGS collection but at least that has the draw of being able to see what you're doing in Snake Eater. The only HD collection I bought for games I had already played was the metal gear ones, and I hadn't played Peace walker or the Substance stuff in MGS2 so even then there was a lot of new content for me.

ElwoodCuse posted:Yeah, the PS2 games did the same thing. One of them unlocked this sweet "Insomniac Museum" if you got them all where they showed you stuff that got cut from the game or early concepts of stuff. And it was an interactive level, not just screencaps or something. A crack in time has that too. It even lets you play a hoverboot racing section and type of puzzle that got cut out. I really like that idea, showing all the stuff that doesn't make it into the game proper. Edit: Whens the HD collection due anyway?

The 2 places I see the game taking place are between 2 and 4 or a remake of the MSX games. I'd quite like the remake idea, if only for some more Solid Snake/Big Boss interactions. But seriously Kojima, where's my Boss/Cobra unit Co-op game set in World war II? I know you want to make it!

Dvlos posted:I've been thinking about picking up Resistance 3, I really enjoyed 2, and even played it online a few times, but I'm wondering is it worth getting it with the MOVE peripheral (I don't have a MOVE at all, just the old PS3 eye) or should I just get the game and play through it regular R2 style? How did it compare with Resistance 2? Was it a major improvement like R2 was to R1? Does it have a lot of replay value? I don't know about the Move for R3, but the game itself was my favourite of the series. It's pretty different to R2 (No regenerating health at all, no limit on guns carried) and plays more like half life 2. As for reply value, there are intel files to find and some cheats for things like giving enemies better weapons and such. And don't worry about Uncharted 3, just because it's not as good as Uncharted 2. It's still a fantastic, brilliant game. Just not the revolution that U1 -> U2 was.

Dvlos posted:I'll probably just get the game, IIRC Resistance 1 didnt have regen health either. The demo looked cool, seems like there's a lot more going on in each level than in R2 (which was fantastic I just hated that they killed off Hale) R1 had regenerating health in segments, like if you had 80% health you'd regen to 100% but if you had 70% health you'd only regen to 75%. R3 has none at all, it's health packs all the way. (apart from a cheat mode you can unlock with R1 style health)

Squirtle Squadee posted:Portal 2 didn't give me that feeling because of the stupid rooms where you would just have to find the one, hidden slab of white, which was nowhere to be found. If Portal 2 has one major flaw, it's that. The co-op mode is amazing, and has very little story between the puzzles. If you can, find someone who hasn't played them before, its much more fun when you're both figuring it out. Its splitscreen too in case that helps.
