Code Jockey posted:This is the greatest gameplay mechanic I have ever heard of It still looks amazing, it's 3 years old and will probably still be toned down a bit for consoles. Honestly I've been playing PC games the last year or so, there has been amazing stuff and I'm still catching up. The PS3 game that will get me to turn it on again will be Dark Souls, I'll pick up some of the super Japanese stuff like Catherine and Disgaea 4 for cheap eventually.

Armor-Piercing posted:With games that have larger and more expensive DLC, I end up either waiting for a "complete" edition or subtract the DLC cost from what I'm willing to pay for a game. I'm buying Dark Souls at launch. I bought Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for $5 on clearance, so I'm okay with eventually getting the $20 of DLC if I want it. I'm still waiting on a complete Red Dead Redemption release, and don't really want to buy the game until it happens.

Ok so I have exactly $17 left on my US PSN account. I can buy Street Fighter 3 and then never play it, or Castlevania HD. I really really like the DS Castlevania games. (REALLY LIKE) but everyone says HD was bad and dumb. I haven't signed onto PSN in like, 7 months but nothing else really caught my attention.

Parkingtigers posted:I went with the temple knight on my Demon's Souls reroll in the end. She had the lowest magic stat, which meant more points towards the stats that enhance stabby death. The magic is just an emergency heal? I can live with that. Turns out the annoying blue glow on my royal character was from the magic wand, not the general soul glow, and the temple knight has a more restrained golden glow coming from her talisman. Visually it's much less distracting, which is another bonus. Keep more than one weapon on hand, some are better for different situations.

Dark Souls is a great game but I was pretty bad at it. In fact, I felt like I had reached a point where I wouldn't be able to progress any further but I also felt that there was something about the game that was really addicting.

Kly posted:UC 1 is not a great game nor does it have a good story. I'm not sure why goons always say to play it first for the story and characters, I'm assuming they've just never read a book or something or are comparing it to their animes. Skip 1 and play 2 it has much better gameplay. The story's still nothing to write home about. I haven't tried UC3 yet, I hear the aiming is broken in single player though.

I just want to say that I haven't bought a single PS3 game since Dark Souls came out in October and I am still totally ok with that. I just got into it again recently after being stuck for a while, got past the part I was stuck at and am back to enjoying it/dreading every moment again. I don't even want to buy another PS3 game until I'm done.

Sorry if this was answered but I checked the last few pages and haven't been following the PS3 thread much. The SOTC that went up on PSN - it's $20 right? What difference is there between that and the Ico/SOTC HD collection? I was waiting for the collection to go digital and if this is literally the same thing but I can get it for less I'll buy it right now.

Yeah I was thinking it's probably missing stuff like the Dynamic Themes or whatever but in the end it's HD SOTC. I hope they continue this trend, sometimes I want an HD remake but don't want to pay for the other games they pack it in with (See: DMC3, MGS3, I bet they'll release FFX as a $60 game anyway)

Just a quick junctioning tip: get HP-Junction, see if you have a GF that can refine Cure magic (I think you might need Siren for this, who was missable) Buy a bunch of Tents. Make them Curaga. Junction to HP. Now you have like, 2000 more HP on everyone. A LOT of cards can be changed into items that you can just refine into strong magic and junction to everything. Especially if you don't give a poo poo about the card game just refine every card you have and change the stuff into magic. Some cards also give items that will say, teach a GF STR+60%. Here's a quick one based on cards you should already have: Did you get the Brothers GF? You'll have the Sacred card. Refine Sacred > 100 Dino Bones (Quetzacoatl gets the Card RF ability) Refine 15 Dino Bones > 300 Quake spells (Diabolos refines this) junction to STR and now you can actually hit things! You can get a lot more in depth with the system but honestly I did all of this before I even got Rinoa in the party, equipped No Encounter so I'd stop levelling, and steamrolled the rest of the game, pausing occasionally to wonder why I was still playing a "walk to the end of this room while nothing happens" simulator

MUFFlNS posted:I mean, would we have seen Sony finance titles such as Demon's Souls, LittleBigPlanet, Twisted Metal and The Last Guardian if they adopted Microsoft's publishing strategy? Probably not. I think it would be a great shame to see them forced into just pumping out a couple of big exclusives per year, as opposed to the constant stream of great content that we see right now. You can see it that way, I can see it as "Why is there SOCOM, MAG, Killzone 2-3, Uncharted 1-3, and Resistance 1-3 all on the same system being paid for by Sony" MS has Gears of War and Halo. Sony could have Uncharted and MAYBE an FPS, arguably Call of Duty has replaced Halo anyway. You don't need 3 or 4 games nobody wants. They "financed" Demon Souls by releasing it in Japan only, waiting for someone else to localize it, then refusing to finance the sequel even though it did well. I would have preferred if we never had Killzone 3, Resistance 3, or a bunch of other indistinguishable games and they put all that money towards letting FROM make a great game.

teethgrinder posted:Got 3D Dot Game Heroes for $10 because HMV is dumping their game business here ... holy poo poo what a light-spirited, fun, amusing rehash. Doesn't look bad by any means either. It's so drat refreshing after all the "serious" PS3 games I've been playing. It's fun and cute and you keep getting moments of "Haha yeah I remember that in Zelda!" But I regret buying it for $70 because I thought it would be impossible to find later. Oh well, more money to FROM and they deserve it for Demon and Dark Souls. I've put in 80+ on Demon's, just beat Dark Souls at about 40 hours and planning on doing New Game + then possibly making a new character to try different builds. Is there a way to check playtimes per game like on Steam or the 3DS? Because I suspect those 2 games make up most of it. Robnoxious posted:So why doesn't Microsoft chase these projects? Is it that they are just too complacent shoveling out another FPS (NOW WITH TANKS! or whatever)? They do chase similar stuff, XBLA gets loads of exclusives because it pays the devs(which these days are usually just timed exclusives). Off the top of my head Super Meat Boy, Bastion, Braid were all very well received indie games which were only on XBLA for a while - They're just exclusives rather than internally developed. That said every time I hear "This XBLA game is good" I just wait for it to be released on Steam cheaper and better. Actually shoveling out another FPS is exactly why I'm kinda annoyed at Sony - They have Uncharted, Killzone, Resistance, SOCOM, MAG all competing for the same "shoot at poo poo" seat while MS has Halo and Gears of War. Way too many exclusives are FPS/Third Person on the PS3 for my taste.

...! posted:It's official; the combat in Mass Effect 3 is hard as poo poo compared to the earlier games. Even on Normal the game just piles assloads of enemies on you from every direction so cover doesn't really make much difference. And they all flank you and throw grenades. And now I'm on what I'm assuming is the last mission and I'm having to fight assloads of guys while the screen shakes violently every few seconds. It's nearly impossible to aim right now. (I don't think that's really much of a spoiler but spoiler tagged just in case.) I get that they're trying to make it "feel epic" but all they're doing is making me "want to throw up." gently caress this game so hard. What class are you? I'm vanguard with full shield recharge Charge and quick cooldowns and my shield is basically refilled every 3 secs

In DMC3 you dodge mostly with the siderolls or an occasional jump. The fastest way to move between enemies was with Stinger, the E+Y dual rush attack, Beowulf's aerial divekick. Rebellion+Beowulf with Swordmaster Level3 is probably the most "balanced" moveset. My favorite part of DMC3 though is that you can pretty much play any weapon combo with any style and get unique ways to play, like with Gunslinger Level 3 and a Shotgun your shotgun gets Stinger and an AOE repeated attack and it basically becomes another melee weapon for you to use, or Artemis becomes a source of damage and extended combos you charge mid-melee combo then unleash as a finisher when you knock them away.

Yeah that explains why I always liked DMC so much better, I didn't like how Ninja Gaiden was so defensive and rewarded spamming the same couple of moves. Also, NG1 came out at the same time as DMC1 right? By the time you get to DMC3 the series has become tons better but NG just fell in quality.

homeless snail posted:Disgaea might be my favorite SRPG, but not even remotely because of the actual SRPG parts. Its an extremely spergy game that is entirely about making all your numbers go up as fast as possible. Mainly by dissecting the piles of systems the game throws at you and figuring out how to exploit them to the best of your ability. And then grinding the gently caress out of those holes until all your characters have thousands of levels. I like Disgaea because if you actually put some effort into trying to stay alive you can go into super high level item worlds way too early and get stuff you shouldn't have. I'm getting the itch to play it again and I'm probably gonna buy the Vita Disgaea 3.

I'm probably in the minority on that but I just hate how you're a glass cannon in the inFamous games. You've got a lot of awesome powers but it seems like you die every time you get grazed by something. In contrast, the Prototype games legitimately make you feel like you're playing a real badass. See that's a problem because the first one was a really fun but flawed game, and if they polished it up a bit it would be great. If they didn't there's just no point.
