I question getting inFamous 2 as a prize in a contest where you need inFamous 2 to enter it in the first place.

I just finished the Homocide desk in LA Noire, so I went back and read the spoilers and discussion about that part now. I didn't find it as annoying as people said it was. All the suspects I arrested, I had sufficient evidence to feel they were responsible for the murders. All the similarities between the crimes and the taunting messages and so forth, I thought might lead to a bigger conspiracy or something, but didn't necessarily mean I was arresting innocent people. I honestly did not think "OK, there's someone else who is REALLY the killer in all these crimes, framing all these other seemingly-guilty people, and then I'm actually going to hunt down the Black Dahlia killer" until pretty darn late in the story. I didn't feel cheated or find it demeaning to have it happen either. The only thing I found strange was that I charged one guy for one of the murders, and later on they still suggested I charged that guy, but then later on, it seemed like they were suggesting the other guy was charged instead.

I just beat LA Noire. God drat, once it all came together, it was really amazing and the story was really good. I'm confused about one of the trophies though. Killing people using every weapon in the game. Did I need to kill someone using the flamethrower? Because if so, there was never an opportunity to do so. Edit: Nevermind, that wasn't it. No idea what guns I'm missing. Jamesman fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Oct 22, 2011 |

Overlord K posted:I don't know what other guns you might have missed, but the one that I missed which threw me for a loop was the handgun you get at the start of the game when you're a beat cop. I think your only chance to use it is during the bank robbery in the intro stuff, and you have to purposefully ditch the shotgun to use it. That was the one. Now I just have a few odds and ends to finish up if I want plat, and then consider getting the DLC later one when/if it drops in price after they released the collected edition disc. I never saw a single gold film reel the entire time I played through the game, so I'm gonna have to use a map to find them.

Man, no wonder I never found a single film reel in LA Noire during my regular play. They're all in out-out-the-way locations that you'd never visit and require you to go out on foot, which is something you don't really do much of. It's like a whole different game with whole new places to check out all of a sudden.

Two questions about LA Noire: 1) How good is the DLC? 2) Does the season pass still work?

I wouldn't mind having a few more interesting cases to go through, but at the same time, it's not like each case was very long as anything. So buying 4 more cases is, like, an hour or two of gameplay probably? Or are they bigger and more challenging? And while the season pass (if it still works) is cheaper, $12 is still a bit expensive for everything. That's almost as much as I paid for the whole game. :/

Can't get enough sports games and first person shooters. We must have all the sports games and first person shooters. Nobody should make anything but sports games and first person shooters. gently caress, just combine the two genres and cause a bro overload. A broverload.

Samurai Sanders posted:Not FPSs but what ever happened to games like Mutant League Football that combined sports with senseless violence? Now seems like a good time to bring that back. We're not allowed to have fun games anymore. Hell, if Mario had never existed, trying to pitch the idea now would be completely poo poo all over and probably wouldn't even make it to the development stage, except as an indie game on Steam. gently caress, you know what I want? A new Monster Party. Balls-to-the-wall ridiculous action with a grown-up Mark teaming up again with Bert the demon to wail away on loving tempura and dancing zombies with his trusty baseball bat.

Crows Turn Off posted:Zeus isn't the most powerful being in ancient Greek mythos. For example, there is Uranus, the god of the sky and basically father to almost everyone else. There are still creatures bigger and stronger than Titans, such as the Hecatonchires. But, you're really getting outside of the characters people know from that mythos, though. So you're saying you DON'T want to see him face off against Aristaeus, god of cheese-making. :/ Did I mention he's also the god of bee-keeping?

So I might have missed it amidst the talk about how Skyrim sucks and MGS5 doesn't need to be made, but it looks like THQ did something genuinely nice for the PS3 version of Saint's Row 3. I guess that version was supposed to have exclusive content, but it never happened. So what they ended up doing is, when you redeem your online pass, you'll be able to download a full copy of Saint's Row 2.

ghostinmyshell posted:Picked up LA Noire tonight cheap used, included DLC codes dont work obviously. I think there's an all in one pass for $10 but not sure if that's everything. Is any of the DLC worth picking up? Mainly, the DLC is for extra cases, and I guess you also get some extra suits that give you things like more ammo or let you take more damage. I'd get into the game a fair bit and see if you feel like you want more of it in the form of a few extra cases (The suits with bonus abilities are a non-issue). It should also be noted that a "complete" edition of the game is coming out soon, so the prices of the DLC might be dropping.

Maybe Namco/Bandai read my post about how there should be a reboot of Monster Party and realized how great an idea that is and I'm not even joking when I say a new Monster Party game would kick rear end. But I don't care too much to speculate since we'll all find out anyway come December 11th.

Tamagod Sushi posted:So after further Lords of Shadows opinions, I went ahead and got the PSN version of Symphony of Night. It's still such a great game and doesn't feel aged at all SotN doesn't feel aged at all, mainly because all the Castlevania games in that style to come after it are just lesser versions of the same thing. It's a huge game that looks good, sounds good, and plays good. Konami really needs to get their poo poo together and make a true successor to that game. None of this SotN-lite crap on handhelds or lame multiplayer cashgrabs.

Hatter106 posted:SotN has great gameplay, but after growing up on the first three Castlevanias, I just can't get used to the Metroidvania level style. It's too claustrophobic and the constant backtracking just irritates me. The backtracking really isn't that bad in SotN unless you have some kind of function disorder. The layout in that game is phenominal.

Samurai Sanders posted:Seriously. Also they pretty much already started that with 2, when the game literally starts with a bunch of characters who who they are and what they are doing is only knowable if you've played some side game or something. I was confused at the beginning and even more confused by the end. Stop it, seriously. I just want to hit Disney villains with a giant key. It's not so much the fact that there are side games that annoys me, but that they're all spread out across different systems. I'm not gonna follow the series around on its little tour like a McRib fanatic.

Did... Did Raiden just throw a Metal Gear into the air and then slice it apart with his sword? I don't know what to think of this. Bayonetta and its kind are such cheesecake that I can't even stand to watch videos of them, but maybe Kojima's keeping Platinum in line here because this looked like it might not be embarassingly awful.

Having played Tony Hawk 1 and 2 fairly recently and being the thread's whipping boy for Tony Hawk games, they really have not aged well. The arcade-style gameplay is too simplistic and most of the levels are small and/or boring. A bite-sized digital release of levels from those two games? That's OK-ish at best, but you'll only get an hour of nostalgic fun out of the game. Maybe more if they buff up the challenges and give you some annoying trophies to earn. What I feel made the games get worse was when they added in storylines, and when they kept trying to make things harder and more complex and filled with bullshit challenges, and kept building off all those things and forgetting about making a fun game to skate around in.

MUFFlNS posted:SSX keeps looking better and better I never played an SSX game after the first one. Did they ever let you start turning while you were holding down X?

At the very least, you needed to hold the button down to charge your jump, and while the button was held, you couldn't move, which meant you couldn't navigate the course. It was pretty frustrating, especially for halfpipes. Plus, I was very used to Tony Hawk games, where you could hold down the X button and move around freely. So I'd always be trying to hold the button down to always prepare for maximum jump, and I'd just lock myself into a path and gently caress myself up.

the truth posted:It doesn't take more than a second to charge your jump, and then the focus is on pre-winding your spins and flips. This isn't THPS. The controls for SSX were something I could never get accustomed to, to the point that I honestly felt they were flawed and needed fixing, rather than the problem being with me. It's like in the NES days when 99% of the games would use A to jump and B to attack, and then some other game would come along and get them reverses or have you pressing up to jump or have you pause the game by pressing select or something. It's just wrong and goes against everything you've come to understand about how a video game is supposed to play. So if they really never fixed it, then I guess I shouldn't hold out hope for them being fixed this time either. Shame, since this game was looking pretty good after all. :/
