playing more sengoku basara 3 utage,i unlocked kenshin and he's fucking broken,hard mode was hard before levelling up the guy,his attack are super quick,give you a huge number of hit (in fact i got up to 10,000 in a stage) and hurt a lot and to top it off,he gets a counter move which basicaly covers most of the screen when triggered

I put everything aside to dive head-in to Rayman Origins. Fantastic little platformer - fun mechanics, beautiful HD 2D graphics, co-op is a blast and the difficulty is perfect. Too bad it's going to sell like shit, games like this deserve to sell. Probably should have been lower than $60 though, maybe $50 like Sonic Generations.

Did the tutorial mission in Kings Bounty: Armored Princess* today, got myself a pet dragon (named him Charizard) and everything. Seems cool in spite of the WOW~esque graphics. Got some awfully cute knitted mittens as a loot drop and instead of wearing a ring with some sort of boost I'm rolling around with a painting of the dude I'm looking for. Seems a bit desperate.

you know i really like all the characters in sengoku basara 3 but i feel like there is not enough game for them... i'm like,what the heck i'm supposed to do? play the same mission of conquest mode over and over with each single one?

oh also i was wondering if there was any nice import to get for the wii but the only one i could think of was this one

should i bother?

Got WWE '12 from gamefly today. I've only played a few matches so far, but I'm liking it well enough. It doesn't seem like a reinvention of the usual Smackdown formula or anything, but it's a step up from the last game I played at least (SvR 2010). The most noticeable improvement would be the match flow - it's a lot more natural looking now, and not as robotic as the previous games. Gonna play some of the story mode in a minute.

They have a pretty good roster this year as well. Almost everyone who's currently in the WWE is in the game, except for a few guys who barely exist in the company, like Curt Hawkins and Trent Barreta (they're awesome tho). Some decent legends as well, but I'm disappointed that they're making some of the bigger guys DLC, like HBK, Macho Man, Foley, and Batista. And the lack of Bret Hart is baffling.

Got 291m in Espgaluda 2 now; died on the last boss. That game is so frustrating because it's so fucking long. You only get 6 lives (1 of which is easy to miss) to carry you across six stages, which translates into 6 mid-bosses and 7 bosses, not to mention the constant risk of zesshikai when you're trying to score on the stages. Even God Mode in Mushi Futari was easier than this.

Btw, Bad Company 2 single player is hilariously awful.

Maybe it's because I don't play many military FPS games anymore. Last one I played was MW2 a few years ago. But the first couple levels of BC2 are basically walk forward 20 feet into a building-ish area, ambush, 50 guys swarm out, stay far the fuck away and pick them off one at a time with grenades and shots, move forward 20 feet into a building-ish area, repeat. And if you even try to go toward the frontline you get grenade/rocket/snipered from somewhere you have no idea of and instantly die and have to redo it all again from last save point. The graphics are nice, but the gameplay is super boring and I enjoy FPS games (though prefer non-military fps games).

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #14538 on:** November 29, 2011, 04:29:15 PM »

I never played BC1. This is actually my first DICE FPS experience (well, not counting Mirrors Edge).

I love DICE for Rallisport & ME; never played their shooters, so giving it a shot here and BC2 isn't impressing me (yeah I know these games are meant for MP).

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #14540 on:** November 29, 2011, 04:38:01 PM »

BC1 was fun, SP was set in open maps- you could approach objectives from however you liked-generally. The writing/characters were also a lot more fun. Worth playin imo.

Have you played Battlefield 3, Bebpo? coming from someone who enjoyed BC2, Battlefield 3 is fucking terrible.

and Bad Company 1, and even the earlier Modern Combat game on 360, had more at least more interesting single player campaigns. They more and more modeled it after Call of Duty instead of embracing the open sandbox, which BC1 at least attempted. Go back to it or just model it after Crysis 1.

Bebpo · « **Reply #14543 on:** November 29, 2011, 10:30:56 PM »

Actually I just bought Battlefield 3 and I'm playing the BC2 campaign because I want to play it before the BF3 campaign so I'll be blown away by the BF3 campaign on the much better graphics engine.

I get the feeling I'm doing this wrong.

Here is my military FPS respawn shooting galleries backlog of campaigns I have not touched:

-Bad Company 2
-Battlefield 3
-CoD WaW
-CoD Black Ops
-Modern Warfare 3
-Medal of Honor

I plan to play them eventually. Some because they have really nice graphics on PC (basically all except WaW). I have a feeling most are going to be pretty sucky. Especially compared to non-military FPS games like FEAR2, Metro 2033, Hard Reset, Cryostasis, Stalker games, etc... that I also need to play.

Hey demi, you know how the Resistance 3 corrupted data bug fucked you over? Well it might fuck me over BIG time; I'll see in a bit. Since my PS3 died and I got a new one I'm doing the data transfer thing to move over all my saves (including locked ones) and accounts. However when it hits that corrupted data it might screw up the whole thing and there's no way for me to get rid of it. Will know in an hour or so.

The data transfer app crashed but I was able to delete the corrupt R3 data in like 2 mins (I guess because I did a safe mode file system restore earlier); trying again. If it crashes still, I need to manually move my saves on a stick one at a time :\

And I need to buy PSN+ on the Japan PSN store so I can move my dark souls save to the cloud and back :| /fingers crossed it works.

I'd go back but I'd be totally lost. Games need dynamic tutorials for these situations.

I like long jrpg once I'm in them, but knowing how long a game makes me anxious because of how bad my ocd can be. I didn't think Dark Souls would last 60+ hours for me on one run because I heard 20, and Demon's Souls was a lot shorter. If I knew I don't know if I would've started it. It's one reason I can't start Skyrim yet; New Vegas took like 60+ hours too. Or Persona 4, Xenoblade (when I get around to importing it), and other games.

Bebpo · « **Reply #14567 on:** November 30, 2011, 02:21:20 PM »

Dark Souls is 60 hours? I thought it was ~20 like Demon Souls? I can't imagine there being that many bosses/areas left past where I left off which felt around 50% through at 10 or so hours.

Anyhow Vesperia and all Tales games do have what you're looking for. It's called "SUMMARY OF EVENTS". You can boot up a Tales game whenever and read up to refresh where you are and what you're doing. The gameplay doesn't need refreshing since they all play the exact same with OOO, X,X, finisher.

Bebpo · « **Reply #14569 on:** November 30, 2011, 02:28:41 PM »

I rang the first bell ~2-3 hours in at the top of the church after the dual gargoyles. Then went down and beat Capra Demon ~4-5 hours in and was blowing through The Depths.

I don't get how these games can be long. The length is just the time it takes learning the stages and patterns. Once you know them you can run through an area in 5-10 mins and beat it and there's only a dozen or so areas, right? I took a look at the wiki for the list of areas before I stopped and it seemed like I'd done about half of them in 10 hours.

it's a better game than I remember...don't get to say that too often about old arcade games. Lots of enemy variation in the first stage, great music, lots of different weapons and items, branching paths. It's like a spiritual prequel to Magic Sword.

and it had the upslash and downstab before zelda! It's basically Conan the Barbarian 16bit side scroller.

I checked out the first 15-20 mins or so of Ni no Kuni PS3 the other day and lol, it really is a word-for-word 1:1 remake of the DS game at least at the beginning. Whose brilliant idea was it to release a remake of the same game 6 months later, especially when the original wasn't well received. When I hear that the PS3 version has a "odd lack of voice acting at times" it sounds like they didn't even bother going back to the studio for the PS3 version to record more lines and just lifted all the voiced dialogue from the DS game and did text-only for any new dialogue additions.

When it comes down to it, I'd rather play the nice cell-shaded looking HD with the DQ9 world map version on a 50" tv than the 2d DS version on a tiny screen; but still makes no sense. I thought the idea between the games was to make two completely separate titles using the same world/mythology.

Depends how much side content/exploration/pvp/etc. you do in Dark Souls, but I'd say the game is at least twice as long as Demon's Souls. Maybe 3x.

Also, I've nearly finished the first Phoenix Wright. Just got done with Turnabout Goodbyes. I think I'll keep playing visual novels on the side like this, since I liked 999 as well.
