| The thing is though, DMC 3 & 4 did punish you for using the same move over and over again, just passively. You wont get a good rank for using rebellion or red queen's default combo over and over again, and while that might seem tame as a punishment, getting high scores is quite the big deal, plus theres the subtle reward of seeing a big shiny SSS rank on the screen. The system makes the player WANT to switch up their gameplay while giving them the freedom to experiment with how they do so, rather than throwing a brick wall infront of the them and forcing them to use a different attack. DmC's method is lazy and tedious, a devolution, not an evolution On a related note, this thread has made me go and play Ninja Gaiden 2 again, still wicked as ever |
 |
| Is anyone else excited for Transistor? I don't think I'll be able to pick it up for a while... I am just not willing to put time/money into a new game right now. I still really want it, though... |
| Yeah I was looking foward to it for a while, totally forgot about it untill a few weeks ago when the pre-purchase option on steam opened up, definetly picking it up tomorrow, I'm pretty curious to see how the whole turn system works out(it looks cool) plus their new game + mode sounds wicked But Astebreed also comes out this friday.... |
|
| Prolly gonna pick it up one day, but I already got 50 something untouched games ^^ Goddamn GoG and Steam sales. |
| Fuck yeah, theres now a mod for DMC 3 that lets you switch styles on the fly, PC dmc3 now might be the deffinitive DmC game |
|
| I'm an assassin / thief in Skyrim. I'm doing the thieves' guild and dark brotherhood right meow and I think I'm nearly at the end for those. I have perk points in illusion, sneak, archery, 1 handed weapons. I try to take everyone out from the shadows. I'm also a werwolf because sometimes I like going berserk. I tried being a vampire but it wasn't my style. Any tips for making my character even beastlier or any tips to mix things up to make the game more entertaining? I stopped playing it for a while and a new approach might be just what I need to spark my interest again. |

TFW you think you'll never play through your 500+ games on Steam, and the next time you check it's almost reached 800. It's those bundles, I swear, it isn't my fault >: Nagisa33 said: Reach lv80 or make a skill legendary or whatever it is you have to do to turn the enemies to max difficulty.Any tips for making my character even beastlier or any tips to mix things up to make the game more entertaining? Then only use shitty fur armour and two handed weapons without all the game-breaking enchantments, and see how well you manage. That should be a challenge. Or throw in one of those mods that make the enemies even harder. |

It's those bundles, I swear, it isn't my fault >: 50 untouched at all, not even played one minute. You really got more ? |
| Probably a hundred at least. Then again, we get a lot of shovelware with bundles I guess. I'm just trying to finish Bravely Default now. All those time loops made it so boring though. |
| I was thinking about picking up Bravely Default but there's other RPGs that I'm more interested in playing. Final Fantasy 6, Persona 4, Valkyria Chronicles, The Witcher, and Ni no Kuni are the ones that come to mind. Though before jumping into fresh experiences I'm beating a few unfinished games first. Ninja Gaiden 2 is what I'm playing now. I played it years ago but I had to stop due to a disc reading error which apparently happened to many other owners. Thankfully the new copy doesn't have any problemos. Fire Emblem Awakening is next up. It confused me with its level up / class system system. I want the kids to inherit the parent's abilities and I wasn't sure how. After looking it up I think I get it now. Another thing that I've been mindful of recently is to not make games a chore. Grinding, doing a seemingly endless amount of quests, collecting many unique items, checking out all the lore, using iron daggers to level up my smithing skill so I can have a beast dagger for almost guaranteed sneak kills, etc just sucks my willpower dry. Sometimes in the journey to better my characters I forget that fun comes first. Is there any game that you've played recently that's defied your expectations? Maybe it just felt utterly satisfying. Right now for me it's Ninja Gaiden 2. It's a breath of fresh air as there's no ranking up or pumping stats. It's over the top action with cool combos. The moment I took out the first wave of baddies I knew it would be a blast. I have a huge smile on my face playing it and I can't ask for much more than that. |
| As someone who basically never plays RPGs, I'm having quite a lot of fun with Child of Light. I like its simplicity and straight-forwardness. My only complaint is that there's no party-limit and the side-characters are not very interesting at all. Makes it seem very pointless to level up anyone besides Aurora. I'm looking forward more to playing The Banner Saga as well now though. And just trying to finish a game can be a chore sometimes. I'm playing through Half-Life and that is one long and confusing game, lol. |
| "The view from the bottom of a well may not be much, but you can see the sky and the stars really well. My world is small, but since I'm looking up at space night after night, you could say I'm a frog on a universal scale. When you gaze up at space all alone like that, the back of your mind goes quiet, and you feel as though you've gained an extraordinary amount of wisdom." |
| Has anyone here heard of "One way Heroics"? I picked it up yesterday after scanning for something to quell my boredom without too much of an invesment and found a fantastic little rougelike. It's turnbased though presented in an top down view akin to something like old LoZ games, and your always pressed forward since the screen scrolls forwards every turn, leading to some rather tense moments and lots of on the spot planning especially if you want to dive into a dungeon. It's got a surprising amount of depth to it Best of all Playism has it for only 2$, an absolute steal IMO Oh, and the soundtrack is wicked |

| Dark Souls is free for Xbox Live Gold members. But beware, Microsoft won't let you update it, so you can't play with anyone who has another version of it. You can play with other people who are playing the "Free With Gold" version, though. If you plan to do PvP, get the Dark Wood Grain Ring since it let's you ninjaflip on 50% equip burden *and also get the Fog ring since people can't lock on to you. Completely balanced, I know. Also, use the Crystal Ring Shield. You will completely wreck everyone, ever. Have fun! |

| Wtf. For real? I can't play with my friends who already have it, then? I don't even know if I want to download it... hmm |
| Hahaha wait, a chance to replay DkS in it's primal, un patched form? Not gonna lie I might have to do that, just gotta dodge PvP (still mentally scarred by the invisible ring bullshit + flipping haveldads) |

|
| http://youtu.be/oyA8odjCzZ4 Don't forget this setup. But yeah, vit-tank elemental katana Havel ftw |
| Giantdad is nothing compared to flipping Havelmom with hornet ring and crystal greatclub. In the right hands, this setup is unbeatable. You might even combine that with the Eagle Shield, since that was also OP as fuck before the nerf. Man, I wish I had an xbox 360 so that I could join the fun. |
|
| Sniper Elite V2 is free on Steam. |
|
| So, dark souls 2 is getting 3 DLC, one this month, and even a dreaded season pass for the 3 of them Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh |
|
| I sold Dark Souls 2 because I got bored of it and moved on to experience other things. It was fun while it lasted. I'll watch a Let's Play or some friends on Twitch TV beat the DLC though. That should be fun. Plus, I'm interested to see the new areas, even if this is a big old cash grab. |
| Not liking the marketing territory Dark 2 is treading, but I'll stick with it nonetheless. They are lingering on the border of poorly planned DLC like other companies, but I'm hoping they can still pull things off well and aren't grubbing too much. Then again, we got Miyazaki on Beast Souls to look forward to, so that could be more independent and a step in better directions, but it's far too early to tell obviously. |

Meh, Dark Souls 1 DLC was better than the Main Game, I wouldnt mind at all, having DLC on that level of quality. I dont know how independent that is. I mean they got Sony behind their backs, and I am not trusting Sony too much. They may seem like some hero from the next-gen consoles showdown, but all they did was saying "We arent doing what Microsoft is doing." Basically the big "savior" of gaming Sony promised with the Ps4 "We wont screw you over!". And for that they got praised to heavens. |
Reialgo said: Am I happy to get more content? Yes.So, dark souls 2 is getting 3 DLC, one this month, and even a dreaded season pass for the 3 of them Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh Am I happy that they decided to release them in episodes? No. Will I buy it? Yes. But, I will wait until the winter sale so I can get them all for 10-15 euro. Since I only do PvP, I am in no rush to get them. I will have to buy them earlier if there are some OP stuff in them akin to Dark Magic in Dark Souls and if there is a new PvP hotspot like Oolacile Township. I just hope they release a major balance patch alongside the DLC like they did with Dark Souls. Everybody is raging at FromSoft since the game in it's current state is pretty unbalanced and heavily favors magic over physical, but Dark Souls was exactly the same. Physical scaling was garbage on release and they didn't fix it until the DLC came around. AngelsArcanum said: It's not official that he's working on Beast Souls, though. It's just speculation since they said he was busy with another project so he couldn't work on Dark Souls 2. He did get promoted to the president of FromSoft not too long ago, so it could have been something related to that.Then again, we got Miyazaki on Beast Souls to look forward to, so that could be more independent and a step in better directions, but it's far too early to tell obviously. Also, it's highly likely that Beast Souls is PS4 exclusive, at least PS exclusive. So meh. Unless the game is Game of the Century, I will probably not buy a PS4 for it. |
|
| In all honesty I'm game for getting a PS4 just for a Souls title for the time being, hopefully more stuff would follow of course, and I mean the game isn't coming out anytime soon (?) so maybe more will come by by the time it releases. |
| I'll wait for Kingdom Hearts or FFXV before I buy a PS4. I would be surprised if anything could push me before then. I hope neither of those come out this year. I'm not ready. |
| My brother and I decided to finally get a PS3 together. We have a bunch of games in mind but we're unsure on which version to purchase. There's a bunch of different versions and I heard a few of them have some problems or annoyances. For example, I heard the humming can be quite loud, there are overheating problems, and there's that red light of death. Also, I don't need to play older ps2 or ps1 games. Any tips or suggestions? |

Buy the latest revision? Usually a good idea. Then just google if there are problems with the latest revision and your set. |
| The ps4's libary is so immensely weak at the moment(including games announced/ we know are coming) that it's probably going to be another year or two before purchasing one becomes even considerable for me, especially with the current state of the gaming industry at large @Nagisa; If your meaning console purchase tips, from my personal experience I think I have a ps3 slim(not the most recent version "Super slim") and it's never troubled me and I've had it for about 3 years now |
|
| To everyone owning a 3DS, there are some neat sales for some Bandai games. 50% off for Project x Zone, something like 13 GBP. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Damn playing Alan Wake right now, this game is surprisingly really good. Its been a while since Ive been dragged into a game for its atmosphere and story mostly. The gameplay is servicable but damn dat atmosphere. |

The games ends on a cliffhanger and The American Nightmare raises more questions than answers them (although still answers some). |

Something about it doesnt seem appealing at first glance. I cant put my finger on it but all I know is that I didnt buy this game despite it being on pretty much every sale and it being very very cheap. Only once did I finally buy it on GoG and that only because I needed a few more games to get the discount (buy 5 games and they are 75% cheaper and stuff like that). And even after buying it I ignored it for like 3 months. I guess its really one of those hidden gems that you have to try to see its glory. |
| I liked Alan Wake but I didn't love it. The setting was tight but the enemies were repetitive. The whole narration as you went was my favorite aspect of the game. |
| Y'all lovin' the E3 conferances and the 1-2 games that actually look half decent?(and if your lucky, they might have come with actual gameplay!) |
|
Nagisa33 said: I liked Alan Wake but I didn't love it. The setting was tight but the enemies were repetitive. The whole narration as you went was my favorite aspect of the game. Yeah, the gameplay and enemies really arent many. I just got to Act 3 and until now there where basically 6 types of enemies, guy with Axe, guy that throws axe, Guy with two swords, Big guy with axe, Big guy with Chainsaw and Crows. And the differences arent that big. But really the game just reeks atmosphere and i love the way the story is told. Im looking really hard to find every manuscript cause they are the best part. I love how you get some pages ahead of others and you read basically spoilers of what is going to happen. The story is like a puzzle of which you get pieces that you dont need yet but the more you get the more you see the bigger picture. |
| Just watched some of the E3 conferences today, showed some games I'm interested in playing hopefully in the future. I thought No Man's Sky and ABZU looked fantastic, and some obvious titles like Batman: Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3 I can't wait to play. PS4's got new games on the way, all that's left is a price drop and I'll consider buying one. |
 |
| I didn't get to watch much of E3. Mango told me about LittleBigPlanet 3, and I saw ABZU. Between those I couldn't really ask for more, for me that's about as good as hearing they were making a remake of Klonoa 2. But there was more, because No Man's Sky looked amazing. |
| Yeah I've yet to see Microsoft's and EA's conferences, though I heard EA's was eh; MS people said it was okay. Sony's was pretty okay; that whole Playstation TV stuff = eh. The whole thing with the comic guy; you know, the comic at least seems interesting, but he just kept talking. That talk, as well as that conference, could've been at least 30 mins shorter. In the end though, they did show some exciting stuff, so it wasn't too bad or a disappointment altogether. Ubisoft's was...well...idk. Aisha Tyler back in it. No Beyond Good and Evil 2, once again. Nor The Last Guardian. Although I've stopped caring about that game after it got a series of delays. Also, no Fallout 4. :( Nintendo's up tomorrow. I'm gonna miss it because I'm in class, but I'll just watch the archived footage and 'grade' it based on their presentation and the games they show. Bayonetta 2. |
|
| I fell asleep during the Sony conference. Did they talk about The Last Guardian???? Also, BLOODBORNE HYPE! ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN! CHOO CHOO! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G203e1HhixY |
|
| Microsoft kicked Sony's Ass this E3, Sony basically had only two interesting things and that was Bloodborne and ABZU. Microsoft was better in that regards, with multiple interesting games. Ugh and now I have to buy a Playstation :(. Stupid Myazaki why u be in exclusive partnership with Sony? Dark Souls 2 at 60 fps and 1440p is such a better experience, and now Ill probably have to play Bloodborne at 720p and 30 fps... |
| Catching up with Sony's conference I had to miss out last night, I'd say they won the last day, but mostly because everything else was already bad and boring. EA was full sport so it was really boring. Xbox trolled hard with Conkers and "LEL XBOX MASTER RACE", also too much shooters and HALO HD COLLECTION. Oobiesoft topped them all I guess, sadly no Patriot info. Sony wins because Metal Gear Solid V (and Dead Island 2). Edit: Xbox conference in a nutshell |

"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| It is done. Nintendo officially won the E3. That's how you do things. |
"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| This game looks tight. It makes me want to play the one one the Wii. http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/06/10/e3-2014-xenoblade-chronicles-x-coming-in-2015-2?abthid=539732c96a447c7843000009 I thought everyone had a pretty good conference. Some great games were either announced or fleshed out more for each company. I'm excited for MGS4, No Man's Sky, Super Smash, The Witcher, Below, and a few other games. |
| Nintedoe conference was awesome. A shame that they are dooming Wii U with making most releases 2015. I might end up buying a Wii U when the new Zelda game and Bayonetta 2 are released. |
"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Fuck yeah, Xenoblade Chronicles X! Takahashi's newest masterpiece, I'll have to buy a Wii-U just to play that. |
|
| Damn straight, I was hyped from the day 1 announcement If only it was coming this year Q_Q |
|
| Has anyone played Xenoblade Chronicles? If so, how does it stack up to other JRPGs. I've been listening to some Chrono Trigger music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVif7tugqJ0 and I'm in the mood for a unique fantasy world. I just checked out more info on X and it looks like it'll shape up to be fantastic! Tetsuya Takahashi has quite the resume! Plus Hiroyuki Sawano's doing the music. Good stuff but idk if I'm going to get a Wii U just for this. Is there a way to rent consoles like you rent games? Also, I guess I answered my own question. Takahashi is the guy behind Xenoblade Chronicles so it looks like it's right up my alley. :) |
