What did you play most recently?

Finished MGS4 on PS3. Starting DMC4. Will get Siren tomorrow.

 

How are those siren games? I hear a lot of mixed things about them so I'm reluctant to try it out.

The original Siren (not the "remake" Siren: Blood Curse) is frustratingly difficult. Siren 2 is less difficult and one hell of a game, although it also has some teeth-grinding moments. Basically, a survival horror series that emphasizes planning and stealth over balls-to-the-wall action. The atmosphere is something to experience.

 

Been working on a Siren 2 review, which I should post in a few days time.

That is why I am interested. Not looking for those RE type of action-oriented horror style. I always view Siren style the same as Fatal Frame, more emphasis on horror than the actions....

Halo: ODST

 

 

just beat it too, the wandering around the city looking for your team mates made me put the controller down several times.

Awesome, I'll pick up siren 2! If I skip the first one am I going to have no idea what is going on in the second one? I heard they are pretty abstract so I dunno if they follow each other or not.

I didn't get Siren but get Killzone 2 instead I will look for a used copy for Siren. Not sure if it is good or bad but I am thinking of getting most of the PS3 exclusives, so will definitely get it in near future.

 

Can't wait for the GOTY Fallout 3.

 

Is that any good?

Killzone 2? It is not bad, the graphic is quite good, with very decent atmosphere. The controls are not bad, the multiplayer is ok (i am playing with no lag against someone in Australia by just logging in to the server there).

But it feels like one of those generic sci-fi FPS out there, only with better graphics and sub-par plot.

The cover system is quite well-done though and the enemy AI can be quite brutal at high difficulty (they know how to flush you out from a cover with grenades while some will move to attack from sides; you can found yourself overwhelmed by all sides if not careful). The weapons are quite nice too and I love rifle-butt people to death

 

I will call it the Halo of PS3. The fanboys will definitely defend this game to death like how most X360 fanboys defend Halo 3 and ODST.

lost planet 2 online DEMO

 

 

 

 

it blew my fucking mind. . .

Hey it turns out Siren 2 never came out in the US. So what is my best option here? Should I get the PAL version and patch it, or get the JP version? I've never played a JP region game on my PS2 before do they work just like NTSC games? I mean technically they should besides having to use a boot disc or whatever. It might not have an English option is what I'm worried about though. Also I have never patched a PAL game to NTSC, I know you have to set an offset which hopefully someone else has figured out already for this game I've just never actually done it.

 

It also came out in Australia, but I have no idea whats going on with video standards over there at all. Don't you guys use SECAM or something like that? I know you have the SCART cable, doesn't that just do a whole multitude of things? Composite, S-Video, and RGB or something?

[Agozer]

Japanese games will work on your PS2 if your console is modded, otherwise the region lock kicks in, NTSC notwithstanding. The PAL version is the only version that has been localized in English.

 

 

Australia uses PAL like most other PAL countries. France (and slew of other counties use SECAM which is a bastardization of PAL, but these days or more like a SECAM/PAL hybrid, with a few countries still sticking to the old SECAM standard (so you don't see games that have a SECAM label on them instead of PAL in France - some former SECAM countries have switched to PAL). Yeah, SCART does a lot of things, with support for composite, RGB and S-Video signals. On the PS2 side of things though, there's RGB SCART, S-Video and Component cables for the console.

Playing DW Gundam 2 on PS3. I am always a sucker for Koei Dynasty Warriors series. And playing as Gundam is very enticing So now, I have DWG2, MGS4, DMC4 and KZ3 on PS3. Looking to add Siren and NG Sigma.

For some reason the whole Dynasty Warriors series is like crack to me. Once I start, it'll take me forever to blink. I'm like that way with most FF games as well.

Hahaha, same for me, but I will get bored with the DW series in a week normally. There is only so much "Square, Square, Square, triangle" combo you can pound on

 

But the DW Gundam 2 is one of the better and interesting one. heck, i love fighting those giant bosses and the gundams are well-animated.
