Less modern warfare crap and more saving notamerica from the notsoviets and their flying manta ray that other jets piggyback on.
What I'm trying to say is, Strangereal AC is awesome.

Zero was my favorite

last fight being a battle with your now defected bro and his prototype laser weapon

When we face each other we can finally see our true selves

There may be a resemblance but we never face the same direction

VomKriege · « **Reply #15602 on:** September 08, 2015, 02:22:57 AM »

Zero has by far the better pacing. It's maybe 1 or 2 mission short but 5 dragged on way too much. I only played 4 after those so I found the plane handling weird. I liked 3 a lot (fantasy planes were great) back then, the campaign branching did work.

I also think Zero has the best visual environment, radio chat, it scales back the PNC allies (that really wasn't working), the enemy squadron system is awesome and the story is ok and much less grating than 5.

There's no denying that the formula was getting tired though. I would have liked PA to try improve air to ground, maybe ? But in truth I'm not sure that today's cutthroat market has a place for an arcade flying game.

toku · « **Reply #15603 on:** September 08, 2015, 03:31:17 AM »

Zero was definitely that point. I treat it kind of like a send off. 6 is okay, the psp game is okay and AH has these awful fucking Helicopter missions and is different in some stupid ways but is okay too.

VomKriege · « **Reply #15604 on:** September 08, 2015, 04:45:52 AM »

One thing that 4 did best was that because of the mission design you often could not destroy each and every target. So there was some decisions to make, and you often had to make do with some enemy air defense. In the two PS2 sequels you pretty much wipe clean the maps.

But I don't have a PS3

Is the Silent Hill HD collection still shitty, or did they fix its issues?

Should probably amass a PS3 library instead. I think it'll actually be cheaper too.

mormapope · « **Reply #15610 on:** September 08, 2015, 03:40:00 PM »

Silent Hill HD Collection is still mega fucked for the PS3, it never got more than a patch or two that fixed some shit. I got it for the 360 due to getting free Microsoft dollars. Silent Hill 2 runs fine for the most part, still has shit fog compared to the OG release and the water is gray goop. Silent Hill 3 has entirely new voice actors/actresses that don't fit like the OG ones do.

Because of something too long to explain, I ended up switching over from Xbox one to pc after getting maybe a little less than halfway through the game.

While the PC version looks very good indeed, if I hadn't had the issue I had come up, I probably wouldn't double dip. The modding scene doesn't look like its going to turn out to be anything really special on the PC side. And while the image quality is better obviously, I don't think I'm enjoying it any more than I did on the xbox one relatively speaking.

TLDR: If you have the money burning in your pocket go ahead, I guess, but the console versions are fine imo.

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #15621 on:** September 10, 2015, 12:03:37 AM »

I ended up buying the PC version. After figuring out how to install the DLC with GoG Galaxy, I'm definitely glad that I made the switch. I couldn't care much about the image quality, but the load times alone during fast travel being near instant are a god send and will inevitably make me get back to where I was way faster than I expected. That and 60 fps making the combat easier to manage are making me enjoy the game way more.

It really is an ass-festival. The 360 let you play offline if you didn't want to update. The PS3 says, "Not /must/ you download this patch, we will also deliver it through an arthritic flea's asshole worth of bandwidth."

Its baffling how Sony never did a complete rehaul with the PS3's software or UI. The 360 got shit done from the start and shit was changed just for the fuck of it. Nowadays there's more issues with downtime and dumb shit happening service wise for the 360, but the base functionality is still excellent.

The PS3 UI has always been dogshit, updating and patching is dogshit, you need to be a PS+ member for trophies to sync up on PS3. Terrible software.

The Legend of Sunblade · « **Reply #15635 on:** September 13, 2015, 03:04:43 PM »

Its probably because the 360 was designed with that kind of network connectivity in mind from the start, while Kutaragi's sloppy messy baby has had all of the requirements and needs from modern digital ecosystems ducktaped on top of a very shoddy foundation.

Its probably the cause for now-unfixable shit like requiring double the space needed for downloads (PS3 downloads an installer, extracts the files from it, then deletes the installer), an unsortable download list and the general clunkiness of the update system. I already never turn it on cause I know I'll have to wait a year before I can actually play anything on it.

Plus the XMB is a holdover from Sony's DVR/PS2 hybrid, the PSX. The PS3's UI is identical, so it's an even longer holdover than most people expect.

As for being PS+ to have Trophy synchronization with PS4, I have had to turn off auto-updates on my PS3 because it keeps wanting to turn itself on, and tell me that it's going to need to update its HDD / content database before it can do anything. I can't cancel it, it won't let me /not/ update, but it will keep itself powered on for hours, ignoring the setting to turn off after two hours of inactivity. And then it won't sync Trophies even after I let it update its database. Come the fuck on, Sony.

Sony probably sent dump trucks full of money to Atlus offices to try keep it off PC and NX for 2016.
