MindFreak Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Picked up Mark of the Ninja for lousy 600 MSPoints. Fits me very well!
Beast Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Ah nice, I was going to get The Walking Dead but I may as well wait until it's on sale now!
MindFreak Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) The first episode's free on 25th, the rest are 200 MSPoints - or so I've heard anyway. Got started on Mark of the Ninja. It seems really awesome, deep, and it's rather enjoyable. Edited December 21, 2012 by MindFreak

MindFreak Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Seems like they are 400 points per game. But the first's free so I got that.
Beast Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 They're that price right now but either tomorrow or the day after, each of them go down and I think it's either half-price or they would be 240MSP, which is a bargain.
Beast Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 The Walking Dead episodes are now 200MSP each for today so if you plan on getting them, get them now.
MindFreak Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Oh my. Then I have to complete Ep 1 today to see if I want to play the games.
Gio001 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 The Walking Dead episodes are now 200MSP each for today so if you plan on getting them, get them now. Noticed that earlier and downloaded them straight away..... Bargain!
jayseven Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Fuck not having an electronic form of money. Fuck not checking the forums before I was in town. P.S. fuck not having my xbox with me, anyway!
Guy Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 I've only played episode one of The Walking Dead and if the remaining four are even half as good as that I'm in for a treat.

P.S. fuck not having my xbox with me, anyway! You can buy Live-games from live.xbox.com so the last thing isn't a problem. I think I should just go ahead and buy them without having played the first.
Shorty Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 I couldn't get into the Walking Dead, not on 360 anyway. The controls were just cumbersome. It was built for a mouse, I feel. Kinda like playing C&C on the 360.
Goron_3 Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 I've only played episode one of The Walking Dead and if the remaining four are even half as good as that I'm in for a treat. You'll love it. A truly brilliant game! I've just reached episode 5 and it's definitely in my top 5 games of the year already. Episode 2 is something special..just wow.
MindFreak Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Got 100 % on Mark of the Ninja yesterday. It was indeed a very good game with solid game mechanics, nice atmosphere, and challenging gameplay. Sometimes it was a bit frustrating to die at the same place many times but the game was quite forgiving in terms of checkpoints. One thing, though, when I died I sometimes spawned at an unfortunate place where I was discovered immediately meaning that I had to restart the level. This was only a problem on New Game Plus, though. Also not a hard game to get 100 % on but it took me about 15 hours to complete it twice and get every seal.

I picked it up in the Steam sale the other day but haven't got round to trying it yet as playing other stuff. Without spoiling anything, does the New Game Plus offer much in the way of incentive? I've seen reviews praise it but never felt they explained it well enough why other than the game being a lot of fun in the first place.
MindFreak Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Well, apart from the standard "you get to keep your equipment", the New Game Plus offers smarter enemies and you can see less of the level (in particular you can't see what's behind you). On top of this, you cannot see how much noise you make by running and such (which is shown by circles in the ordinary game mode). I think that's it.

On top of this, you cannot see how much noise you make by running and such (which is shown by circles in the ordinary game mode). I think that's it. Sounds a bit like the New Game Plus approach in the Batman games where they make it tougher in a fair way instead of just upping damage receeved and lowering damage dealt like a lot of other games with more difficult modes. I started playing it today and did the first two levels. Really liking it although I kinda wish it didn't show certain scroll requirements/ achievements thingies because when it comes up that you can't get one if you get found or didn't reach a point fast enough, it's kinda disheartening in a sense. I know you aren't expected to get them on our first go but it still makes me feel like I suck when you game tells me I've missed out. Just a small and inconsequential niggle on an otherwise impressive start. The cutscene animation has a real Genndy Tartakovsky vibe to it... or at least the bits of his work I'm familiar with anyway. I like it. Edited January 6, 2013 by Captain Falcon

Just a small and inconsequential niggle on an otherwise impressive start. I would expect that they are perfectly getable on your first go but some of them are hard, yes. I did most of them on my first go and then did whichever I hadn't done on my NG+ go. In that mode, some of them were extra hard so I would advice you to go for them on the first go.
MindFreak Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Now I finally completed Dust: An Elysian Tail. Good game, although a bit chaotic at times so it depends on a bit of luck and quick button mashing. Some enemies are frustrating as they one-shot you when you aren't aware of their being there. The stats are also ridiculously high (I ended up with an attack stat of 1800 and assistant attack of over 4000). Apart from these minor things, though, it was an enjoyable game. It took me about 20 hours of gaming to complete 100 %, or just below 16 hours of game progression (meaning that I spent about 4 hours of trying to get back to a point where I died and then beyond that to a save point...).
Daft Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 Sweet name change. Anyone tried F1 Star Racers on Plus? Any good?
Retro_Link Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Thanks :p (I'm giving this forum a tidy up) I played the demo and really enjoyed it, looking to get the full game at some point (price drop). But whatever you do you can't approach it like every other kart racer or you'll be disappointed/won't get what it's trying to do. You brake into corners and then accelerate out of them using boost pads (no power sliding)... if you pump the accelerator whilst going over these boost pads you'll charge your KERS/boost meter. And there are quite a few examples where you have to think more about your racing line around corners, otherwise you might run off the track/bump into the barrier. Also drive through Pit Stops around the lap to repair weapon damage. Once you get used to it (doesn't take too long to adjust) think it works well, it's something different and most importantly I found it really fun. Also the track I played was designed really well/was brilliant! (sorry if you already knew a lot of that stuff) :p Edited February 9, 2013 by Retro_Link
Daft Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 Did not know any of that. Sounds a lot more promising than I'd expected. If I can drag myself away from Ni No Kuni I'll give it a go tomorrow. Btw, PSN should totally be before XBL in the title. Because of reasons to do with me being a fanboy.
Retro_Link Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) I was tempted to change it! :p The demo track was Germany, may be a good one to start on if the game lets you. Edited February 10, 2013 by Retro_Link
Cube Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Why do some racers massively teleport around 1/4 of the track? One did that towards the end of the final lap on a race I did, meaning I had no way of catching up. Quantum Conundrum is brilliant so far.
