Daft Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Good point but I can't recommend it enough. It needs to be recognised.
flameboy Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Yeah I am overwhelmed. I still need to play Infamous 2. Not buying anymore games till then. Noticed you playing on payday the other day? You buy it or just try demo? I love it, it's abit rough around the edges sure but love the game.
david.dakota Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I had avoided choosing Uncharted since I intend to play the three in a row over Christmas, inFamous 2 would be an option but I found the original to be longer (admittedly, many of the side missions were done).
flameboy Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Demo. Its quite different. I liked it. Not sure how the game lasts? Does it give oyu more scenarios to rob from etc.? I have to say i was expecting ot just delete it at first lol. Glad I tried it. Yeah there are about 6 scenarios that you can play at different levels of difficulty. They are quite varied and don't all revolve around bank heists directly some the aftermath and some failed attempts. There is also a further level that you can only play on Overkill difficulty that is rock solid. There is also a leveling system and from I understand there are 150 levels. I really wish more people had it, it can be pretty hard to find a game at times, also tons of nobheads play, for example on the bank heist 1st mission you can get the bank manager tied up and steal the key card and get the drill without starting the heist yet some idiot will always run in all guns blazing or simply hit R2 to start the heist.
Aimless Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Can someone recommend a short 6-10 hour action/adventure game for me? You could download inFamous: Festival of Blood. It'll only take you a few hours to finish — say 4 and a bit hours to do everything — but for £8 it's pretty full-featured and would slot in nicely between the various big releases at this time of year. You can pick up Enslaved for around £10, too. It's not a game without issues, but for the price I'm sure you'd get a decent amount of enjoyment out of it, plus it meets your time requirements.

Actually yes great recommendation I finished this before all the madness of Q4 releases and really enjoyed it.
Jon Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Why the fuck are there so many good games out in such a short space of time? I'm still trying to finish all the Dragon Age: Origins DLC and there's Uncharted 3 and Batman: Arkham City having just been released with Skyrim out in a week. Not to mention my personal favourite NHL 12. I don't have enough time in the day to play these games.

Daft Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 And Saints Row 3 And Assassin's Creed Revelations
ReZourceman Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 And Assassin's Creed Revelations Lol. Good one.
Daft Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Watch this and tell me you don't want it. It's possibly the unnnnfst trailer ever.
ReZourceman Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I hate that trailer. 2 minutes of "I don't care"
Daft Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) I know you're lying. And it's three minutes long. Edited November 8, 2011 by Daft
Jon Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Finished off Dragon Age: Origins. Done all the DLC too except the expansion Awakening, which i'll start tomorrow. Don't know if anyone's done any DLC but I really liked the way they were done. All of them were unique, adding in missing plot points or telling the story from a different angle. The final boss in the Golems of Amgarrak, Harvester; what an absolute kent that is on Hard difficulty. Got there eventually but the controller came close to being destroyed on a couple of occasions
Magnus Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I found the DLC for Dragon Age pretty subpar. Maybe if it hadn't been 95 % reused areas, it would have been more interesting.
Jon Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I found the DLC for Dragon Age pretty subpar. Maybe if it hadn't been 95 % reused areas, it would have been more interesting. I'd say maybe 80% but I take your point.
Hero-of-Time Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 I've been playing Ratchet & Clank:A4O on and off over the past few days and it's very meh. I'm a big fan of the series and loved every game that's been released, apart from this one. It definetly seems it's made for co-op only, even though you can play through it by yourself. I did pop online with it but the random people were just faffing about and generally doing my head in. I will say that the humour from the series is still intact, with the banter between the characters being stupidly funny. Captain Quark FTW!
dwarf Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 The concept of A4O sounded awful to me from the start so I never developed an interest. Insomniac's multi-platform franchise, forget the name, also looks decidedly average and I'm only going by the art style.

Insomniac's multi-platform franchise, forget the name, also looks decidedly average and I'm only going by the art style. Overstrike....and yes it did look average. The trailer was awful as well it had these 4 characters and you were told why you should think they are cool and why you wanna be them rather than them being inherently characters you actually want to play as.
Hero-of-Time Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I think that Insomniac seemed to have lost their way this generation. They started off great with the first Resistance game ( loved it to bits ) but have slowly been on the decline since. It's a shame really as I am a fan of them and once put them in same same league as Sucker Punch and Naughty Dog, but where they have continued to evolve and grow this generation, Insomniac haven't. I still wouldn't say no to a Ratchet & Clank HD collection though, which leads nicely into this piece of news... Last month, the Korean Rating Board revealed Jax and Daxter Collection for an unspecified platform, with Sony listed as the game’s publisher. We can now confirm that this will indeed be a PlayStation 3 release as suspected. The leak this time comes from the USK, Germany’s videogame rating organization. The collection will be titled Jax & Daxter Trilogy Edition in Europe. Update: Sony has confirmed the news in a statement to Game Informer. "We can confirm the Jak and Daxter Collection is coming and will have more news to share shortly," a spokesperson said. I care not for the 2 sequels but being able to play the heavenly original again in HD will be glorious.
Debug Mode Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Sony has finally revealed how they're going to support those with UMD versions of PSP games that wish to play them on the Vita. 1. Download a UMD Registration Application from PlayStation Store to your PSP2. Boot up the UMD Registration Application from your PSP's XMB menu and insert the UMD game you want to register into the system. 3. Follow the prompts to register your UMD disc with your PSN account 4. You can then download the downloadable version of your game at discount price. Sounds good! I'm surprised that this is a lot more efficient than pretty much all the guesses I have seen on forums, but discount price? Mother fuckers. They've put up a list of the games they will initially support themselves and reveal that they'll cost between 500 (£4) to 1500 (£12) yen. But apparently the big third party publishers like Capcom, Square Enix and Sega haven't announced any of their games they'll be supporting with it or if they will even do so. Games purchased off PSN though will just be simply available to download from the store on to the Vita. Saves etc transferred through USB via the Vita content manager. Although the UMD process is pretty efficient, the price you have to pay for some titles and how some titles might not be available is pretty annoying. EDIT: Andriasang is the source but for some reason I can't get the URL for their articles
Ike Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Sucks you have to pay a bit more, but I suppose you'll have the UMD and Digital versions so that's not too bad. My Dad bought a PS3 from Tesco couple of days, was supposed to include a Blu Ray movie but it wasn't in the box. Do they come in a cardboard sleeve or a normal Blu Ray box?
Jon Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Finished off Dragon Age: Origins 100%. Some annoying bugs aside, I really enjoyed it. I've got the Ultimate edition, so all the DLC was included for no extra cost and it was fairly impressive collection. Looking forward to playing Skyrim but I need a little break from fantasy themed RPG's for a little while
Debug Mode Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 So, have we heard anything about who will be doing the 3G coverage for Vita yet? I'm considering going for the 3G set when they open pre-orders for the limited edition, because it would be absolutely epic if Skype made an application for Vita. Would save me a lot of money if I do get my year placement in Japan as all I would need to do is change the SIM.
