blackguy32 posted:I still think Team Ninja need to share the blame for the shitpile that Other M was rather than blaming every single thing bad about that game on Sakamoto. I disagree, Team Ninja actually did as much as they could to salvage that shitheap. Sakamoto was responsible for the story, and he was the one that was adamant that they weren't going to use the nunchuck, even when Team Ninja asked for it. Sakamoto deserves every bit of hate he gets for that game.

So I started playing El Shaddai today, and it is the weirdest loving game. So I'm Enoch, a warrior of God (with a day job as a scribe) and I have to beat the gently caress out of 7 fallen angels to seal their souls to bring them back to heaven. Descending to earth takes place on a giant hand that falls down and crashes into the Earth. Coming with me to help out is Lucifer, who is snazzily dressed and chats with God on a cell phone.

So how perfectly preserved are Chrono Trigger's load times going to be? I can't wait to sit there for 30 seconds to get into the menu!

Mitsune posted:Wait, RE4 HD re-release is bad? Isn't it coming out soon? Today, I believe. And from what I've heard, it's not so much that it's bad as they basically just upscaled the PS2 version and called it a day. A shame they didn't include Move support, because the Wii controls were amazing on it.

AngryBooch posted:No invasions, blue phantoms, blood stains, messages or ghosts. And it was supposed to happen this year, next month actually. I think this is the second time the server lifespan has been extended. It's actually happened quite a few times. It released here in Fall 2009 (I'm pretty sure), and they guaranteed 6 months of server support, and then about a month before that day, they would usually extend it for another 6 months or so.

...! posted:I will never, never understand people who say this. I do. I played the PS2 version and thought it was an incredibly boring game with lovely controls. I'm not saying you can't enjoy it for what it is, but a game is first and foremost, well, a game. I don't care how realistic or "justified" it is, if it results in something that detracts from the play experience, then it's not good game design.

Policenaut posted:Has anyone else here been playing Elemental Monster? I bought it a couple weeks back off Japanese hype then just kind of forgot about it, so I loaded that sucker up and next thing I knew I'd lost 3 hours! It's amazing that Hudson sells this game for a dollar, and it may look really obtuse and arcane from gameplay footage but the single player does an incredible job teaching you how to play by gradually introducing new concepts. I've been playing it on and off between Dark Souls and Harmony of Despair, and it really is a fun little thing. I definitely agree that to go online I'm going to need to shell out for a booster or two, but for single-player I've just been going along and it's worked out so far. The booster DLC being half price is awesome, I'm going to have to grab one or two of them.

Parkingtigers posted:Also, I'm just loading up Demon's Souls for the first time. I'm ... I'm scared. Decided to prepare by reading the manual, something I never do. It was all in Chinese. Well, no guts no glory ... Honestly, that's probably for the better. Demons's Souls is frustrating as hell until you get with the program (and it will kick your teeth in until you do), but it's really rewarding, and the best way to play is to figure it out for yourself as you go. If you find you really need some help, then pop in the Demon's Souls thread and ask there.

Question Mark Mound posted:But even if it's a custom emulator for each game, why not let you download each emulator for cheap as a launcher and continue using the PS2 discs I've paid for? From a consumer side of things, I get to save both money and HDD space. Can you imagine scrolling through your game data and finding "Odin Sphere system data," "God Hand system data," "Ring of Red system data" for every single PS2 you ever buy off the PSN?

Behonkiss posted:Speaking of running down a path to get to the next really nice cutscene, I finally rented FF13 after beating around the bush for over a year (Would have bought it around its original release if reviews and word of mouth were better). I can already see the complaints about it being a series of linear paths, but the graphics and FMVs are absolutely gorgeous, and I'm curious to see what's going on in this crazy world. Are there any goons that actually like the game? I liked it! Admittedly, Hope is a whiny bitch who I wanted to just tell to off himself after Chapter 5 or 6 (you'll put up with him because he's the best mage in the game), and the soundtrack isn't the best among Final Fantasy games, but it's loving gorgeous and the battle system is fun as hell.

The one thing I'm so glad Dark Souls got rid of was the "What, you died? Well gently caress you, you lose half your max health unless you take up one of your two ring slots, in which case I guess you can keep 75%."

axleblaze posted:Maybe I'm misremembering but didn't you just go back to the last waypoint when you died in Demon's Souls? That's really not THAT much different. It's been a while but I'd think I'd remember having to re-enter the stage every time I died in Demon's Souls, because that would have been awful. You definitely only went back to the last waypoint. The only time you go back to the Nexus is when you choose to.

ChetReckless posted:I know there are a lot of Demon's Souls experts in this thread. Is there anything I must know before jumping in? One thing I wished I had known was that you're meant to takes the levels in level order, not continuing the same level unless you're really up to it (So do 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, etc, not 1-1, 1-2, etc.) Other than that, there really is nothing to say, it's a game in which you're meant to discover as you go (and die). The true Demon's Souls starts here.

Talkc posted:I have a friend campaigning for me to get Demon Souls / Dark Souls. Im kinda not interested. They sound interesting, but the lack of true multiplayer coop makes me think twice. It's true there is no "real" co-op, but the game is designed around that. You're not supposed to go off with your buddy, you're "supposed" to be helping that poor guy who needs help with the boss of 2-2 because he can't do it on his own. It's definitely not everyone's thing, but it is something that everyone should at least try at some point, because you'll never play another game quite like it.

I said come in! posted:I keep hearing so many conflicting things about Dark Souls difficulty. A lot of people have told me that Dark Souls is actually much easier than Demon's Souls. That they toned down the difficulty to much. I'm not particularly far in it, but it does feel like the overall difficulty was ratcheted down a little bit. I personally think that the stages themselves are a lot more dickish, but the bosses aren't quite as bad as Demon's Souls (I haven't met anyone that made me want to murder someone as hard as Flamelurker, for example). That said, people who are much further than I am say it's harder, so...  E: A lot of this could be due to the fact that having played Demon's Souls, I knew what I was going to be getting into though.

I'm playing Festival of Blood, and holy poo poo, please tell me there's some sort of flight power like Shadow Swarm in Infamous 2. Once I got that and Vampire Sense I literally spent two hours just going around and collecting everything because it was that convenient, rather than a huge pain in the rear end. Also, I really like how they do the trophies. Rather than tell you "Eh, go do *some arbitrary thing* 10 times," it's "If you do this 5 times, you'll get a new/upgraded power, and if you do it 5 more times, we'll toss a trophy your way."

omnibobb posted:Nope, nothing like that in vanilla infamous. Infamous 2 is worth a play regardless Aw.  More games should take the whole "Let's do something totally ridiculous and fun" approach like Festival of Blood. I liked Infamous, but I have a lot of games on my plate so vanilla Infamous 2 will have to wait, and I doubt that I'd want to jump right into it after playing Festival of Blood anyway.

tooooooo bad posted:Wasn't the whole loading problem in Playstation CT a result of a poor English localization or something? Pretty sure I remember reading that the Japanese version never had that issue. It was basically that the PSX version is an SNES emulator, and rather than use the perfectly fine US version of Chrono Trigger, they used the JP version with a translation patch, and the PSX wasn't capable of autopatching it and running the game at the same time. Or something like that, but that's the gist of it.

I suppose it wouldn't be too much to ask why you hate Dark Souls, would it? Because it definitely isn't a game for everyone, but if it's because you're doing something incredibly wrong, or misunderstanding a mechanic or something, I'd love to see you give it another chance.

Ueda has left Sony, but will continue to work on the game. One of the other big producers for the game has also left Sony, and went to work on some social game if I remember right. Those are the only things we know for sure.

So if you're one of those people who actually enjoyed FF13, is the 13-2 demo more of the same, or have they managed to gently caress it up?

zachol posted:Would be pretty cool if you were playing as the girl, had a limited (but still very capable) moveset, and then there was also this big NPC guy that couldn't die. Like a reverse escort mission. Most of the game would be sneaking around, opening doors for the NPC, and occasionally avoiding enemies while they stream in and he kills them all. Then there'd be a boss battle where he's fighting against this thing, and you have to climb up to a vantage point and snipe its weak point. Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom might be up your alley.

MUFFlNS posted:Edit: Also SamBishop if you see this, do you know if the Wipeout 2048 Vita content will be coming to the PS3 version as DLC or not? I think you said a while back that Sony Liverpool said yes in an interview, but I've got a feeling that they've changed their minds? God I'd love more Wipeout on PS3. Wipeout 2048 has all unique tracks, right? Or at least, none that are in Wipeout HD? That would make it rather difficult to play cross-platform multiplayer.

That's what I'm saying. If they don't come to HD as DLC, then there's no possiblity of cross-platform multiplayer, which is troubling, considering that they rather blatantly promtoted that.
