Title: Binary Domain - yep, this is no Mikami shooter
Post by: Bebpo on February 01, 2012, 02:00:50 AM
 :lol

demo is about what I expected when I heard the Yakuza team was going to make a TPS.  Doesn't feel right at all.  Very floaty and janky feel.  Animations suck, graphics are pretty weak, framerate is kind of terrible and sub 30fps at all times.  Guns don't feel good, enemies are bullet spunges, and of course being Japanese you can stare at the girl's ass and she will make a comment about it. 

There's literally nothing positive I can thing of.  Better than that other Japanese Gears clone Quantum Theory that we all conveniently forgot?  Probably, but that's not saying a lot.  Faaaar Cry from Vanquish, which not only copied western shooters, but made them even better.

pass.


Looks even worse coming from the fuck awesome Twisted Metal demo.  lolz

Yeah, it's unfortunate.  Especially since, not to toot my horn, but I was the first OMG THIS NEW SERIES CALLED RYU GA GOTOKU IS GREAT GOTY NAGOSHI IS MY HERO EVERYONE TAKE A LOOK!! guy on gaf at the time.  RGG1 was indeed my goty that year.  Liked RGG2 a little less, Kenzan a little less than that, and didn't make it too far in RGG3 before losing interest and that was my last interaction with the series. 

That said I liked the demo for Kurohyou and RGG4 sounds good.  Disliked the OF THE END demo completely, and now disliked this BD demo just as much.  I can deal with this team's jank when it comes to fist fighting but not when it comes to pew pew pew.

I liked it.  Performance was terrible (PS3 demo) and hopefully the 360 version is better.  Taken on its own, the movement and shooting don't compare to Gears.  The squad gimmick is neat and the two levels were fairly open.  I liked the style of it enough to not mind the unimpressive graphics.

And as someone who is sensitive about hp sponge enemies, I don't think that's the case with this game.  It does the Dead Space thing where shooting out legs and arms is better than going for a chest or head shot.  The best part about it was how much the enemies rush you and it feels like terminator where you're blasting off limbs and they're still crawling after you.  Also funny how you can neuter the boss by taking out arms/weapons.  Well I'd agree that the boss was a bullet sponge at that point.

Post by: cool breeze on February 15, 2012, 01:35:25 PM
360 version is a lot better than the PS3 version in performance.   I tried out the voice commands with the headset and it works well enough.  The problem is more with its limited set of commands than the recognition.  Well, not limited, just not what you'd expect.  You can say things like "CAIN, I LIKE YOU, IDIOT!" but not "Cain, flank the enemy from the left."

There are a lot of cool dynamics I didn't notice before.  Each character, yourself included, has a limited number of health kits.  Characters can use health kits to revive themselves or a teammate, meaning if you use all your health packs to revive a teammate, you rely on them to heal you if you go down.  Or you ignore them and just heal yourself if you go down, and then you don't have a healthpack to heal one of them.  It plays into the team trust system depending on how you react.   If you're a prick, they might not risk their own lives to revive you.

Just finished this game. Fuck that was awesome, it took a while to get good but I couldn't stop once I hit Chapter 4 or so.

I assumed that when Dan was about to lay one on Faye the French robot would walk in and be like "OH MONSIEUR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE IT A MENAGE A TROIS?" but instead he booked and told the other guy to GTFO so the adults could get to the fuckin'

At first I thought Faye was gonna be a Hollow Child and I was like 'Ohhh man Daniel-san, you fucked a robot, don't feel bad, it's just like you were jerking off to internet porn' and then the game was like ACTUALLY SHE'S A HUMAN-ROBOT OFFSPRING and I was like WHAAAAAAAAT!

Just a terrific game, good core gameplay + good story / characters + awesome mecha design + BOSSES!!! A+++ for effort, so sad that this game will sell less than 10,000 copies :(

on sale at Target for $40 this week.  Just finished the first two chapters and hoo-boy, this game is freaking ace.

its quite the looker too, and the much bitched about framerate troubles has yet to occur in only of instance of the spider boss.  It isn't quite but is the closest thing I can remember in recent or distant memory of an action game with a hard science fiction storyline, so its stoking my nerd muscle and the gameplay itself is top-tier 3rd person shooter.

Post by: HyperZoneWasAwesome on April 06, 2012, 05:42:57 AM
so I've put bit more time into this, and I still really dig it, but I really can't rave about it unequivocally anymore.

the normal sections of the game, and the gunplay, stage and enemy design, are all really top notch.  I mean it, its fun as hell and well made and well paced, that is, until the boss encounters.

frankly, as far as am into the game, the bosses kinda suck, the technical hiccups all seem to happen pretty much only in the boss arenas and every one of them so far is kinda obnoxious in how you have to beat them.  They're merely annoying, its not a fatal wound, and they may get better later on, but so far, its a bit of a setback.

also, while the storytelling technique is pretty damn good, the narrative itself isn't quite living up to its early potential.  Keep in mind, I'm only downgrading this from a A to a B+, its still a damned awesome game and I'm already looking forward to my next playthrough, its just a little rougher around the edges then I first took it for.

Shooting is decent. It's appropriately silly and Japanese in tone.

The Boss battles so far have been annoying and not really fun imo.

I got in on the Amazon deal too.  Can you do all that voice communication stuff on PC? I tried it in the 360 demo and it's a pretty neat gimmick.  I remember the regular controller comrose only had tactical options, unless I'm mistaken.

My money is on Big Bo. Bob Sapp doesn't telegraph his punches so much as he calls ahead and then sends a follow-up email.

Very true. Plus Bob is basically a fighter for hire who comes in to lose to your local guy these days.

I mean, I'm really loving this game. The combat is mostly pretty fun and I love the setting/story/characters, but some of the sequences [especially the turret stuff and any time you have to control a vehicle] are just absolutely abysmal. What were they thinking?

The moral of Binary Domain is that if you have sex with a robot, shit will get awkward. Then again, who better to push those boundaries than the Japanese?

The Japanese will do it without even recognizing it as a boundary.

I actually really like the story and characters in Binary Domain, which is pretty rare for a story-heavy Japanese game. There's a lot of cutscenes, but they never feel too long. Most of the writing is over-the-top and cliched, but purposefully silly. It's decent scifi-action movie, basically. Why can't Square at least meet this low bar with their RPGs?
Title: Re: Binary Domain - yep, this is no Mikami shooter
Post by: HyperZoneWasAwesome on July 07, 2012, 11:43:33 AM
yeah, on the whole I was pretty impressed with the game, and I'm bummed that they will almost certainly never, ever, ever be a sequel to this.  The setting and characters were a cut above most games of the genre, and I would have loved to see how a more mechanically sound sequel would have played out.

oh well, at least I can count on yet another Call of Duty/Assassins Creed/Battlefield next year.
sigh.

To make no mention of Sega's recent financial woes.

Well the second half of the game definitely makes up for the first half. The story twists that occur were unexpected and pretty interesting. It comes together pretty well in the end.

Boss fights are terribly cheap. So bad at times.

Yeah, the boss battles and some of the rail sequences are just terrible, my two biggest complaints right there. More enemy variety would be nice, too, but it doesn't bother me that much.

for some reason it goes from perfectly smooth to 15 fps, controls terribly, and restarts the whole section if you fail.

I had no framerate issues but it still sucked.

Still really enjoying the game overall, probably halfway through Chapter 5.

I don't know what was up with it.  I restarted my computer and the next section was fine. 

I'm digging it.  The shooting feels good and the character interaction stuff reminds me of Alpha Protocol-lite.  Mostly the overall style of it is what I'm into.

And is there a purpose for max trust other than achievements? I have Bo, Big at maximum trust now.  I don't know if it's better to keep him in or bring in another character to raise their trust.

There are three mega bullshit sequences:

3. The shitty QTE with the collapsing building

That's about it tho.

I'm on chapter 4 or 5 now.  Someone needs to explain why Cain is fucking awesome.  I will not suspend my disbelief for that.  There is no future where France out-robots Japan and Yankee Land.

I just beat it on "Rust-em-up" after 10 hours and got the OK ending. I'm semi-tempted to give it another go and try to get the top ending but I don't know if I liked it that much!
Definitely worth a play though, it's too bad there's pretty much no chance there will be a sequel.
Title: Re: Binary Domain - yep, this is no Mikami shooter
Post by: cool breeze on July 09, 2012, 01:04:00 AM
I have no idea what ending I got.  The good one? it either sets up a sequel or I'm missing something
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Shindo dying makes sense, I guess. The detective just disappears and never shows up again.  Cain disappears even though I had high trust with him.  And then in the post-credits scene Dan save Faye in some country.
[close]

Fun game.  The squad stuff is shallow thinking about it, but I thought the combat was satisfying enough and I dug the aesthetic.

Sweet Shonuff got me this game on Amazon (since they refuse to sell it to us slant eyes in Asia), but I can't play it since both my GPUs (GTX570 and 4870) died over the last few days. Maybe I can try playing it on the Alienware M11x...

Maybe not.

360 Controller. Just make sure to choose 360 icons in the config menu.


whaat. i didn't know that was a setting. i spent the entire game just associating the keyboard keys to controller buttons. really sucked during the conversations since i had to quickly remember what Q was.

Thanks for this, I'm enjoying the game a lot more now.

And yeah, this is a fucking great PC port. Aside from the wonky configuration program being separate they did an awesome job. Runs like butter on maximum settings, no hitching at all. Makes me wish they'd done ports of Yakuza too (ha ha, as if).
