Post by: bork on September 27, 2008, 02:19:00 AM: Last night I finished Halo 3. Even though I got the game at release last year, much like Halo and Halo 2 before it, I bought it only for the multiplayer. But I did wind up playing through most of Halo 3's campaign mode because of the co-op feature; four player campaign was fun. All this time I knew I must have never played one level, and finally decided to go through it. Turned out to be the Covenant level; HOLY SHIT was that LOOOOOONG. Every time I thought it was over, it kept going. But now that's done and I have some more armor types for multi and a few more achievement points. Yay n stuff.

Today I'm probably gonna be at home all day and play Soul Calibur IV, Halo 3, and maybe some Mercenaries 2, Rockman 9, and Musou Orochi 2.

Yeah, that crowd movement was really, truly mind-blowing. Surely, it's an important factor all games will need to consider in the future. I'm not sure if it will take precedence over panoramic city vistas or not, though.

Post by: Positive Touch on September 27, 2008, 01:49:40 PM: any attempt at immersion is ruined by the shitty ai. i walked up to a cliff and noticed that there was a nice-looking beach down below. i wanted a better look, so i jumped up on a waist-high wall. a nearby soldier flipped out and threw a rock, which knock Altair to his death. DEATH FOR JUMPING ONTO A WALL. also having your horse move a anything more than a slow trot is punishable by death too, for some reason. and yet i regularly stab drunks and beggars with no punishment at all. not that i mind being able to kill those annoying fucks (listening to their shittily compressed audio is reason enough to kill them), i'd prefer it if the npc's didn't operate on some insane moral code.

oh and while the graphics look nice, the animation totally sucks.

and i think it's pretty sad that i don't need to actually run from guards because i can take on thirty of them at once and win.

and fuck any game that requires me to chase dots on a fucking radar.

and there's no reward collecting the stupid flags (all 400+ of them!), the future stuff is boring and kristen bell's character model is awful, there are TWO different types of places to hide from guards in, climbing most towers just involves holding up, etc, etc, etc

this game is fukk awful

Post by: bork on September 27, 2008, 03:27:46 PM: I have yet to play AC and MGS4. Both are sitting on my shelf gathering dust!

I got AC and Mass Effect together. I decided to play ME first; that took me several months and then I never got around to AC. And when I got MGS4, I had yet to finish MGS3S, Portable Ops, and PLAY MGS2S. So I beat MGS3S, got much further in Portable Ops, and played a bit of MGS2S before burning out on the whole thing. One day I guess.

The World Ends With You: On day 6? So much fucking shopping to do at this point, I'm getting pissed off with it. Does this game really end after a week? It doesn't look like it so far. Spot the blatant twist a mile off.
n+ DS: hmm, ok. music not as good as 360 so disappointing in that respect.
World Destruction: played for about 10 minutes and it was all cutscene. Turned off after the first battle without saving. Will go back later, maybe.

Post by: brawndolicious on September 29, 2008, 04:36:01 AM: you really need to read all of the emails (especially in the conference room) and all of the eagle vision stuff for the end of ac to make sense. you can find story faqs on gamefaqs that explains everything that you can access or see with eagle vision and it really makes it clear that the ending isn't just a cheap cliffhanger but that a lot actually happens. You really do learn as much of the story out of the animus as you do while in it and it's probably the best videogame story I've seen.

Post by: TVC15 on September 29, 2008, 05:05:57 AM: MGS4 is such a fucking letdown in all regards. It cannot be argued otherwise. For the first time in the series, the gameplay is actually decent, but it's such a tease since there's so little of it. If you've played the first 2 acts, you've played everything in the game that is worth playing. The story is embarrassing, even for a videogame--possibly the MOST embarrassing story in a videogame ever. I defended Kojima after MGS2's twists, but MGS4 is like, Michael Bay bad. I hope Kojima gets cancer in his dick.
