I don't have a next gen console and my computer is garbage. Graphics aside, how does MGSV on 360 stack up to the next gen versions? I assume the graphics are worse but is there any actual content missing?


I've got it on the 360 (i'm poor and I couldn't wait, also didn't want the game being spoiled) and I'm loving it, got the day one edition and you get a ballistic shield (haven't used that very much) an mgo xp boost (not online so useless for now) a desert cardboard box (massively useful, use it all the time)a lovely gun called adamska that takes the mick out of ocelot in mgs3 but is otherwise rubbish, and some blue camouflage for swamp and marshes(hasn't come in useful yet)

Now I want to play sleeping dogs again,it's a shame they rush the ending so much, the whole wedding thing happens too soon and the emotional impact is lost and then you get tortured by a guy who's only been mentioned in passing upto that point and then the games over not long after that, good game though.

As for content, I've been playing through the walking dead (telltale) and I've enjoyed it loads and there was loads that I forgot, I love how clem as a child never forgets whatever the final thing lee tells her before he gets left to turn I chose to tell her to stay away from cities at the end of episode 1 and it wasn't until way late episode 2 near the end when she told someone that's it's a bad idea to go near cities.

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen has some excellent moments. One of the best is during the final boss fight with the Dragon, it will dive at you breathing fire. If you're a bow-wielding class, you can shoot the dragon down through the flames just before it hits you. I'm fairly sure it's scripted, but it still makes you feel incredibly unfuckwithable.
There are only two or three recurring spawns of one of the larger monsters, the Griffin. One of these is near a nest of smaller lizard-people enemies; the Griffin will ignore you and just swoop down on the lizards, kill and eat a few of them, and then fly away, unless you interrupt it. I love it when games give enemies life beyond just being there for you to kill, and seeing a griffin out hunting for its dinner is a great example of it.
The Dark Arisen DLC dungeon has a mechanic of 'roaming monsters', where giant extra-powerful monsters will randomly show up in rooms with a lot of dead bodies and attack everything they see. This leads to insanely metal poo poo like a fight against a skyscraper-sized cyclops covered in spiked armour being interrupted by a zombie dragon attacking both sides.

I played poo poo out of dd and got completely burned out, now you're making me wanna reinstall it, curse you!

Best thing about dragons dogma is the character creation,even though I finished the game about 5 times I still remember my very first character, I made a kid character and made him as princely as possible, blonde slicked back hair, blue eyes and a wicked arse cape,it made the weird underage princess subplot more believable.I even had a gigantic bodyguard just for shits and giggles.Next playthrough I went super old wrinkly wizard man and it was awesome.

The character creator is awesome, and the fact that it actually has an effect on gameplay (iirc taller characters have longer reach with their weapons, there's certain cave entrances and stuff only short characters can enter, and I want to say your character's weight affects how easily they're knocked down or staggered?) is just mind-blowing.

The only downside is that my characters almost never look in the game like they do in the creator but I think I like what my character actually looks like better than what I wanted her to so I can't get upset. I was going for big muscly Amazon lady and she ended up just tall and rotund, so she looks like some random peasant girl from a fishing village who just happens to be really good at smacking goblins because she's freakishly huge.
I know if you make a huge tall character they're less affected by strong winds but it's barely noticeable or useful,i think smaller characters can climb faster and have better grip.It's cool to play dd like a more violent shadow of the colossus :D

I've been playing dishonoured 1 for the past two days and I love it, I'm trying to not kill anyone in my first play through and during one level I was traversing a massive structure and making my way to the top, stealthily dispatching guards all the way.
I knocked out one guard and picked his unconscious body up so I could hide it, I plonked him down on what I thought were stable planks of wood and they gave way beneath him sending him to his death, it was annoying but I sat there smiling for about a minute at my shitness as an assassin.

Also, the level where you must assassinate the twins is amazing I kind of thought the whole "oh there's so many ways to get through a level and blah blah you can do this and that" was just bluster but holy poo poo the level design is so good.

It might be this thread colouring my glasses rose but I'm really thinking that Dishonored has to be one of the best games I've ever played. It's an great setting, the narrative, themes and gameplay are all consistent (given that the high/low chaos framework isn't supposed to translate directly to good/evil) and it's really fun. Not only that, but there are so many great little things to it and I can't think of any drawbacks.

To actually contribute I love the fact that the game never shows you a whale, other than the DLC and that one still picture from the ending cutscene, even though they're so fundamental to the setting and they are described as these terrifying, incredible creatures that differ from IRL whales in key ways, in the atmosphere text. It's a great way to let the player use their imagination and it sets up a great scene in the DLC.

poo poo, now I want to play it. I never did finish the DLC.

I'm upto the masquerade ball at the moment, i'm totally calling that the safehouse place is gonna get hosed up and i'll have to escape through the abandoned house soon.

and the art direction is great, even though absoloutely everyone looks like a suspicious motherfucker, it's like a nick cave convention from the steampunk 1800s

More dishonoured stuff, I love the mechanical heart and how it tells you peoples secrets - "He beats his servants" "She steals from her employees" and sneaking around the rich peoples mansions is really relaxing,
you just waltz in as cool as a cucumber, knock everyone out and then breeze around like you own the place, taking your time and stealing the entire contents of the safe, looking for hidden passages and breaking every display cabinet in sight.

Psychonauts is great from start to finish, I hope the sequel's good.

D'aww that sucks, I love being completely overpowered in games and stomping everything that gave me trouble the first time round.

I like the fact the story is barely even a thing, you have a small cutscene at the start of the game and then you're straight into shooting and jumping and exploring, the city's cool as well.
I'm liking the fact that you can go through so many buildings as well, most games would just have you jumping on or over but you're free to take cover inside loads of nooks and crannies.

Best bit was definitely the design of the witches,they were very bioshock esque and I poo poo myself on the last mission when I was sneaking around the mansion,i heard the noise that indicates somebody has noticed my presence but not enough to be alerted and as I looked up, this horrible looking witch was looking down at me through a crack in the ceiling,totally unscripted but terrifying.

Not to say it was like they held a bunch of content behind to make you buy DLC, but rather that the DLC added to the original story in a way that was totally worth the 15 bucks.

Threw a (pretty safe) grenade at a hyperworm and it landed a bit off target,blew up some factory robot thing,which set off another explosion and another and another,which then exploded some massive machinery which blew up EVEN more stuff,and then about three or four floors of a massive catwalk all fell down and squished the hyperworm.
