  1. Played through Clive Berker's Jericho. Can see why it had one of the worst endings of all time. I gotta admit I did like switching between all the characters though to give it variety.

     

    Starting playing Beyond good and evil and I can see why it's such an underrated game (or at least appears on those lists all the time)

     

    Still playing Mvc2 on ps3 too.

  2. Started through 11 eyes. Pretty interesting at the moment.

    IMO, the series started out fine, but the end result was a boring mess, that doesn't really satisfies action fans, dark fantasy fans nor ecchi fans. This coming from a person who doesn't find that many animes boring.

     

    Personally, I thought they could have ended it with episode 11

    without pulling the whole reset button thing. Doesn't make sense anyways. He used his eye 4 times for 1 second periods and his body breaks down. But he can do it for a whole day. Bssssss

     

     

    Anyways, now watching The Skull Man. Nice break from all the action anime I've been watching.

  3. Now Playing:

    Loads of marvel vs capcom 2 on the ps3.

     

    Played:

    Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay - Good game. Had a decent melee system and stealth system. Was also fun to explore the prison and try to escape all the damn time. Plus its vin diesel aka Cinder

    Yakuza 3 Demo - Awesome demo. Is Yakuza = Spiritual successor to Shenmue? But definitely cool. Has the free roaming and a pretty good battle system.

  4. Btw: unlocking mission mode can be done by beating the game on normal mode. I know it's challenging to beat doku at chapter 2, but hell with that, not worth using all your items just for that :(

    Good to know.

     

    You guys wouldn't like:

     

     

    Anya or w/e her name when you fight her again. Projectiles? check. Only some parts where you can hit her? check. High priority grab move that takes 1/4 your health. Check. Not to mention she flies.

     

     

    Alma, Rache's sister, and one of the Greater Fiends

    . I think. Yeah, that one was pretty nasty for a boss. Chapter 8, IIRC.

     

    I actually didn't have much problems with that boss (One try!).

    Had more trouble with her second form later in the game. Plus the enemies after her = DEATH

    Regardless, a lot of the difficult bosses in this game rely on patience and dumb luck. Dunno how many times I go into a boss with full potion stock and a revive scroll, only to use all of them, say fuck it and either keep going or die on purpose in order to do it right.

  5. i am stuck at the boss where he fires laser all over with revolving platforms (NGS) . Never have the hearts to go back and try again after that :D

     

    I dont remember this; what chapter was this?

     

    I completely forgot what difficulty I beat the game on; most likely the middle difficulty. But it was still hard as hell.

  6. I've been wanting another good flight sim granted today's flight sims remove the element of taking off and landing (HAWX) which is fine by me. HAWX was alright, played it coop with 2 other guys and we found out you could restock missiles easily by crashing into the ground and respawning. Oh well. Last good flight sim out there that I played was freelancer.

     

    IMO, they probably have to do a hybrid with an FPS in order to make it into the market. Where it's like fly around, get shot down, steal someone's plane, and fly out while evading enemies. Or something like that.

  7. Ok I don't remember the last time I posted here so I'll just go from winter break till now

     

    360:

    Call of Duty MW2: Ahahahah unbalanced gameplay. I call it mvsc2 of fpses. Could be a lot of rage quitting or not

    Halo 3: Alright, played coop with my brother. Nothing special it seems.

    Halo ODST: Played coop. Seemed like a downgrade from Halo 3. Much more open ended and can explore the map.

    Marvel vs capcom 2 online - Man people play to win. Not used to it. Still able to win occasionally

     

    PC:

    Brother in Arms 1 and Brothers in Arms earned in blood and Brothers in arms Hell's highway: All pretty much the same with a few differences between the first 2 and last one. Just another war shooter. The squad system is alright, but most of the time, its better just to suicide charge.

    Call of Juarez: Ok game. Could have done better I felt with the western genre

    Call of Juarez:Bound in blood: Prequel to CoJ 1. Really good western game. Showdowns are pretty awesome.

    Dungeon Siege: Do these dungeons ever end asdofuhnwoeaifnsdf

     

    PS3:

    Legend of Dragoon: Oh man this was a long game cause I chose to grind in it. Still had a good experience

    Resident Evil 5: My second RE game. Played through it coop. Had a blast even though I know it's vastly different from the other REs

    Uncharted 1: Fun game, couldn't play through it again until a while

    Uncharted 2: Awesome game, same as above though.

    Untold Legends: Not a good game. Played through coop. Gets highly repetitious and the camera is truly a POS.

     

    Wii:

    House of the Dead Overkill: LOL. So messed up. And so easy too

  8. Do you guys want this to be organized in terms of.

     

    Player - Psn ID

    Games they have

     

    Or

     

    Players - Psn id

     

    Games that can be played online

    Psn Id

    Psn Id

     

    Just thinking cause I'm procrastinating enough to do this.

  9. To add on this discussion, you should also figure out what attacks leave the boss open and what attacks you have can quickly damage him without taking much damage. You have to be pretty patient with the bosses. (at least thats the case in sigma 1. Never played sigma 2)

     

    As far as memorizing moves in Ninja gaiden, it's not really necessary. Find out what which weapons suit your style and just find some good combos for them. I beat sigma 1 pretty much just jumping everywhere and doing that running jump then triangle move. In terms of combos, the standard square square square and an occasional triangle is usually good enough.

     

    Is magic still a bailout in sigma 2? In sigma one, you can cast magic before you get hit and it's an invincibility frame.

  10. I'd like to know if anyone on this site is still playing this game and their opinion on it. When I stopped playing it on my brother's 360, its rampant with campers waiting to get nukes, knife monkeys jumping everywhere to kill you (Lag doesn't help either), and grenades everywhere. When I stopped playing they just found out about that xp glitch and heard the glitching abuse might be pretty common also. Not to mention the fact that parties suck, and if you're facing a party, you're pretty much effed.

     

    And who can forget the fun join a game, the game is 3400-7400 and you lose. Not to mention playing the maps you don't like over and over.

     

    Yeah I did not like this game compared to MW1.

  11. TBH, If you download too much from megaupload, it sets a cap to how much you downloaded. You can wait up to an hour for your next file. Rapidshare is pretty bad when the servers are full, but its ok even though you have to wait 15 minutes in betwee. Hotfile seems to be the best atm, you only have to wait 15 minutes between each file and you can usually get in with pretty decent speeds.

  12. Second part:

     

    Resistance 2:

     

    Story: 8

    Story is a lot better than Resistance 1. Basically, you have a squad following you now which adds some atmosphere while you going around shooting things rather than ramboing it up in Resistance 1. Also, resistance 2 focuses upon your transformation because you got infected in resistance 1. (This happened in the beginning of resistance 1 so no spoiler :D) But yeah, game is definitely a lot more enjoyable if you're the kind of guy that cares about a story.

     

    Controls: 8

    Almost the same control schema as Resistance 1. Basically, just get used to the controls and everything will be fine. I mean, this is an FPS. As long as you can run, shoot fine, and crouch under cover without much problems, theres nothing much to be discussed.

     

    Graphics and Sound: Resistance 1 score + 1

    Pretty much the same as I gave in my Resistance 1 review. Everything sounded fine to me. Nothing seemed out of place to me. Bonus is Nathan hale (oops I forgot to mention his name in resistance 1), the guy you're playing, talks now. So yay. He just has a standard military voice so no qualms there.

     

    Weapons + Gameplay + Multiplayer: 8/9

    Weapons are the same control schema. They get primary fire and secondary fire. Are the weapons better than in Resistance 1? Yeah definitely. Most weapons are useful rather than some and they're pretty cool imo. Best example here is the Magnum. You shoot magnum bullets into someone or something (and it does magnum damage), and if they're not dead, you can detonate the bullets with alternate fire. However, Resistance 2 lets you only carry two weapons at a time, so boo to that. Just makes carrying that overpowered weapon you get halfway in the game only to use it at the end better.

     

    Gameplay:

    Resistance 2 took out the vehicle levels that were in resistance 1 and replaced the health system with that whole cover system (You get hit, you hide, back to full hp). Yeah, there's trophies in this game so you can have fun with that. I think getting trophies unlocks some stuff too; I only played through the campaign once, and I'm not a fan of trophy grinding. What else changed? More bosses. Bosses are always gimmicky, but they're visually cool to look at. Plus, there's enough enemies to worry about. And yes, there are enemies that you can't kill and some do instantly kill you. But really, you get killed 1-2 times and you start to get the hang of their patterns/or at least you'll be somewhat ready for it.

     

    Multiplayer:

    No more campaign coop. Boo. What they have instead are multiplayer missions where you go in with up to 8 guys online or 2 offline and you run around killing Chimera while completing different mission objectives. You can also collect grey tech(?) which allows you to buy weapons. What I mean by this is basically in this mode, there's 3 classes: Soldier, medic, and Tactical ops(?). You can level up each one depending what you do and you unlock more skins/weapons/setups when you do. However, expect the leveling to be slow. When I played online, your weapons don't really do anything compared to the level 10 guy and it really takes one or two clips just to take a guy down. So just follow the team and gather as much xp as possible if you're into this game mode. I didn't get a chance to try out the large scale multiplayer (mainly I forgot about it), but if you like that stuff and the resistance stuff, that's good for you. (Its free too!)

     

    Wrapup:

    Pros:

    - Much better story

    - Some unique and fun weapons

    - Bosses (Though gimmicky)

     

    Cons:

    - only 2 weapons compared to every weapon

    - No Coop-Campaign. Coop missions instead

     

    Story: 8

    Controls: 8

    Graphics and Sound: 8

    Gameplay: 8/9

     

    Overall, game is a solid 8/9. Insomniac Games did much better in the sequel and there's some nice touches put in the game.

    One being Nate changes appearances as you progress through the campaign.

    It's definitely more enjoyable to play through the game, and its not as long as the first one, but still a decent play length. I want to say like 6-8 hours of game play. I guess I'll end this mini review like Resistance 1. Resistance 2 seems pretty even (maybe a little less) with the Gears series. They're pretty similar with the exception that this is Insomniac's second game in the FPS line so they did pretty good. However, they're also different play styles with one actually using a cover system and one the standard fare. Anyways, I can say I'm interested to see Resistance 3 if it comes out.
