flameboy Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Anyone else see the Arc the Lad import is actually even Japanese rather than the advertised english. Amusingly someone complaining on the psn blog was complaining saying they couldn't read the text saying it was all broken, they seemed genuine not like someone trolling.
Cube Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 That advert is amazing. I love the amount of characters in the background, like Chell, Little Sister and Agent 47. I can't identify everyone, like the woman at the entrance, the bartenders, the clown with flaming hair, the woman Nate is chatting up and the bearded guy talking to the guy from InFamous.
Happenstance Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Costume Quest is free for PS+ members at the moment, if you havent played it before I suggest downloading it as its a really good game.

I feel I should know the one at the entrance and the bartender... But I don't. Nate is chatting up Lightning from FF13, the clown with flaming hair is Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal. Would be nice to get a list going :p

Love it so charming etc....quite short isn't it? think will tide me over until Extra Life....
Happenstance Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 i never played it properly only demo. Love it so charming etc....quite short isn't it? think will tide me over until Extra Life.... I cant really remember how long it took me to complete as it was over a couple of days, its not as long as a full price game but I think it was a good couple of hours anyway. I really should play it again, I think I lost my completed save game when I was showing it to Goafer.
flameboy Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Just finished dragon age in the end i really enjoyed it despite compared to Mass Effect 2's evolution and refinement of that Bioware experience. Story wise though kept me hooked and genuinely some choices I had to make that got me thinking.
Cube Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Odd. My D-pad and L buttons have suddenly stopped working, on top of that the PS button keeps pressing itself. Edit: And because the PS button is "activating" on it's own, it's now turned the PS3 on by itself. Edited October 12, 2011 by Cube
Cube Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Try using the rest button. Back of the pad there is a button that can be accessed by a needle through a tiny hole. It should unpair the controller like new. Thanks, I tried unpairing then re-syncing it, D-pad and L buttons still don't work - looks like it's completely broken. Still, at least I can unpair it so it stops turning the PS3 on.
The Lillster Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Remember the time when people were saying the Wii won't stand a chance because the Playstation Move is so much more advanced... Well, worldwide it's sold a measly 8.3 million units. Total waste of time and money.
dwarf Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I don't remember 'people' ever saying that. Also, I've still not bought Move or even considered it.
Aimless Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Remember the time when people were saying the Wii won't stand a chance because the Playstation Move is so much more advanced... No? 8.3 million seems pretty good for a peripheral. Although I'm not sure where that number's from as Sony said they'd sold 8.8 million four months ago during their E3 press conference.
Daft Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I remember everyone saying the Move looked like a glowing dildo. Because it looked like a glowing dildo. A Wii 'killer'? No. Never.
heroicjanitor Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Who said the wii didn't stand a chance because of move? lol :p
The Lillster Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I can't be bothered to search this forum, just so I can prove people wrong. Ahh maybe I'm wrong, but I'm sure I remember some folks on here (probably Choze-no offence :P), basically saying that the Wii can't compete because it can't do the sort of things the Move can. Which is true, however, besides added realism in games such as Sports Champions, I've hardly seen anything that can't be done on the Wii already. Also the Move is too big IMO I prefer the Wii remote. I have a move and Navi controller, which I've hardly used; so you lot can recommend some games to me if you want.
Daft Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Move and the Wii are as shit as each other. Although I prefer the Move because it has a rechargeable battery and a glowing ball. I'd try everything to avoid playing games with either, though. Everything.

I'd try everything to avoid playing games with either, though. Everything. Sorry but you're just factually wrong. The Wii version of RE:4 has superior controls and is a lot of fun to play. If you're just specifically talking about waggle, then I agree. I don't agree with you on everything being shit though. Another thing; Wii remote + Nunchuck >>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dual Shock Also pointer controls are one of the best innovations to come out of this generation.
Daft Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I can't be factually wrong because my statement is subjective. Not to mention logically water tight since me saying that Move is as shit as the Wii also means that Move is as amazing as the Wii. The subjectivity inherent is that I dislike both. The basic notion underlined though, is that they are pretty much the same thing. Needless to say, bar RE:4, which has outdated mechanics (no walking and shooting) that suits the pointer-like controller well, is an example that is almost half a decade old. I can't think of a single game that I'd rather play with pointer controls. If I'm that bothered about being pr0, I'll play it on my PC. And I've never been that bothered to play games on my PC. So no, I'm not factually wrong. N.B. I didn't say everything was shit. I said I'd try 'EVERYTHING' to avoid them. Also, how good could pointer controls have been if the WiiU has totally shifted the focus away from it?

Motion controls are about the worst thing to come out of this generation. They should have remained confined to dimly lit arcades with hideously priced blocky shoot 'em ups.
Burny Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Also, how good could pointer controls have been if the WiiU has totally shifted the focus away from it? Yes, in fact focus was shifted so much away from pointer controls in Nintendo's E3 presentation, that about the second thing Nintendo showed of the WiiU were Wiimotes.
Daft Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Yes, in fact focus was shifted so much away from pointer controls in Nintendo's E3 presentation, that about the second thing Nintendo showed of the WiiU were Wiimotes. I was a little confused by Nintendo at E3, tbh. So they have the WiiU controller...and you're meant to use the Wii-mote at the same time?

The basic notion underlined though, is that they are pretty much the same thing. Thanks Daft, I’ve always wondered what the difference between fact and opinion were. I was hoping you’d realise that I wasn’t being serious about the ‘factually wrong’ part. Now you’ve made me look like a right arsehole for having to point that out to you. Needless to say, bar RE:4, which has outdated mechanics (no walking and shooting) that suits the pointer-like controller well, is an example that is almost half a decade old. The ‘no walking and shooting’ didn’t bother me and there are other Wii games where you can walk and shoot. Also what’s age got to do with anything? I can't think of a single game that I'd rather play with pointer controls. If I'm that bothered about being pr0, I'll play it on my PC. And I've never been that bothered to play games on my PC. You don’t want to play games with pointer controls because you’re used to the Dual Shock controller. I first got the Wii in Christmas 2006 and by the time I got my PS3 in 2008, playing shooters et.al felt awkward and archaic. Eventually I got used to the Dual Shock again. So no, I'm not factually wrong. OK you’re just wrong then. N.B. I didn't say everything was shit. I said I'd try 'EVERYTHING' to avoid them. OK random question; will you be getting Zelda:Skyward Sword? Also, how good could pointer controls have been if the WiiU has totally shifted the focus away from it? We both hardly know anything about the WiiU so there’s really no point in going down that road.
Daft Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 That's all cool. It's a bit of a dead end discussion. I'm not saying people don't appreciate pointer functionality, it just just doesn't bother me. Basically, whatever floats your boat. S'all cool. I'm not getting Zelda. Not because of the controls but because it's only going to be some slight variation on the past 7 Zelda games I've played. I know what to expect. It bores me. And I haven't seen anything of SS that appears to indicate otherwise. I may be wrong. TP killed it for me. (Walking and shooting didn't bother me in RE, it's just the only game that does it and to my mind the only thing that really makes pointer controls shine.)
Retro_Link Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I'm just taking the random example of Uncharted because I know you're such a fan... but how would Uncharted not play exactly the same if not better, if instead of using a second anologue stick to aim with, you were using a pointer?
