Title: So, Lost Planet: Colonies is out in a few days...
Post by: ParticleReality on May 21, 2008, 09:38:57 PM
Anyone getting it or thinking about getting it? I was thinking about getting it if I decide to trade in GTAIV but I'm not too sure since the main draw is online and there is a slim chance of this having a decent community.


Still, I'd love to be one of those monsters and just wreck bitches.

I'm probably going to get it. I never played the original.

Well, I kinda lied, I played it a bit at a kiosk. And I really liked it.

I went back and played the original Lost Planet a few months ago, and found a LARGE amount of players still playing away.  I don't think community is going to be an issue here.

I really enjoyed LP's multiplayer, so I am all over this game.  It isn't coming out here until the 29th though.

Then maybe I'll get it. You still have Halo 3 don't you? I'm was thinking about getting that too.


It's a toss up though. I either get this and Halo 3 or Halo 3, Blue Dragon and Saints Row.

Yes I do, and I still play it regularly.  I think I'm like the only one on this forum that still does though.   :lol  

You already played GTA4, forget about Saints Row and play something different.  If anything, wait for Saints Row 2.

I can't wait for this game.  Around the time it was announced I was looking to get the original used for cheap.


Now I can get the full game to beat and play a revamped version of the multiplayer with tons of new shit.   8)


From the original version of the game, this looks so fucking fun:

Oh man, look at 3:20 in that movie, the hallway combat.  The guy playing in this match is fucking ACE.  Look at his shotgun dodges.


OMFG at his escape with the grappling hook at 3:40!!!!  Holy fucking shit, this game is like an action movie.  INSANE!!!!  :bow :bow2

Hrm, I'm stuck decided between Lost Planet: Colonies, Grid, or Quake Wars: Enemy Territory. Since LP:Colonies is only $30 I could probably justify to myself getting it and one of the other two, though.

Post by: CajoleJuice on May 24, 2008, 05:28:35 PM
So there's cross-platform play. Did not know that. Probably going to get the PC version then. Tre said there's some weird mouse aiming problem in the original, but I'm going to play the trail version right now and see what the fuck he's talking about. And even if there is, I could play with the 360 pad if I want to.

Post by: FatalT on May 24, 2008, 07:11:55 PM
Wait, Quake Wars is going to be $60? LOL!

Why wouldn't it be?

I played some of the QWET beta on the PC a while back.  It was like a better Battlefield future than Battlefield 2142, but it wasn't nearly as good as Battlefield 2 and didn't buy it later on.

Post by: CajoleJuice on May 29, 2008, 12:44:30 AM
I still don't know whether to get this on 360 or PC. The mouse aiming is THAT off. Plus, my laptop doesn't handle the game as well as I'd like. Is it 30 or 60fps on 360?

Thanks. Hmmm. I have to play the original demo a bit more to see if I can get used to it.

This game is fucking insane looking, get the 360 version.  BRILLIANT VISUALS!!!

Plays like a dream.  I played with a match with 14 jappas and only one other red blooded north american, lag was barely noticable in that match.  :usa

Doooood.  We need more people to get this game.  OMFG, it is really, unlike anything on the 360.  Or any system.(HUA)
Title: Re: So, Lost Planet: Colonies is out in a few days...
Post by: CajoleJuice on May 29, 2008, 12:56:28 AM
But I could still play with you even on the PC version!

But yeah, I think I'm leaning towards the 360 version. ACHIEVEMENTS!

problem with colonies is that you can't play multi with the normal edition.

better hope folks buy this if you are into multi.

I don't see why people wouldn't buy this one for the extra content over the original. I think I might pick it up tomorrow.

By my estimates right now it's roughly 5 times bigger than TF2.  TONS of people online.  TONS.

I liked Lost Planet when I rented it up until the end which was the stupidest shit Ive ever seen in a video game(which caused me not to finish the game)
I went back and played the original Lost Planet a few months ago, and found a LARGE amount of players
The end as in the final boss fight?  some people hated the change in controls but I liked it and it's easy so you may as well finish the game.

It's a toss up though. I either get this and Halo 3 or Halo 3, Blue Dragon and Saints Row.
You should probably get blue dragon and SR instead.  LP:C is probably the same length as the last one and could probably be finished in a rental period.

Dunno about the U.S., but in Japan there are shitloads of players already on.  The Akrid Hunter games are so fucking AWESOME.

I just join rooms and hear about how the jews are evil and how Japanese people suck.

Welcome to XBox Live!

Have some fun with them.  Last year a buddy of mine and I would go into rooms, and the drunken hicks would see the Japanese flags next to our names, assume we were Japanese, and let loose.  We had a lot of fun verbally owning them.   :lol

Change your flag, use a fake accent, and go nuts.  If you're really good, you can piss them off so much that they'll do terrible in-game and give you a better rank.

Oh god, you guys are sensitive.  If I join a game with annoying fucks I turn off the headset.  Keeps me happy, how others are unable to do that I just don't know.
