Happenstance Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I dont remember the specifics but I know I didnt like the aiming either. 3 also had stupid difficulty spikes. I ended up just putting it on the easiest settings so I could finish the story then traded it in.
Babooo Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Glad I'm not the only one that felt the Uncharted series is overrated. Don't think I'll bother persisting with the series. I've just finished the first and its frustrated me more than any other game this generation (maybe in my whole gaming experience). Surprised as it seemed like my cup of tea. There is a decent game underneath, just coated in too many niggling gameplay mechanics, clumsy controls, shite aiming and platforming lol. Disappointing. I'm hoping Tomb Raider doesn't let me down now!
Cube Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 You should try sticking with it. It would be like watching Star Wars Episode 1 and not watching the rest based on that.
dwarf Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 None of the Uncharted games would make it into my gaming top 10 but 2 should be played purely for the spectacle. 3 has provided immense multiplayer moments to its credit.
Babooo Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 You should try sticking with it. It would be like watching Star Wars Episode 1 and not watching the rest based on that. Wouldn't be missing out on much then eh?
Rowan Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Uncharted 2 fixes the controls and mechanics which are an issue to some in the 1st game. You'll be missing out on why people love the series if you don't try the sequel.
Daft Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Stealth Bastard coming to PS3 and Vita this summer The game boasts brilliantly crisp visuals, an abundance of character, tight controls and a steady difficulty curve that gradually ramps up across 80 levels, spread over eight unique worlds. Additional features such as un-lockable gadgets, speedrun leaderboards and a level editor gives the game unlimited replay value! With stages taking anywhere between 30 seconds and 10 minutes to complete, plus tons of secrets to discover, we think our game will really be coming home for PS3 and PS Vita! This is all very exciting! But there’s more… we’d like to present our fans with an opportunity to be a part of Stealth B**tard’s journey to PlayStation. We want to rename Stealth B**tard to something less profane… it’s just too rude! We therefore want you to have a go at naming the PlayStation versions – if you think you’ve got the perfect profanity-free solution to our naughty title, we want to hear from you! If you’ve got a great idea for a new title, head on over to our site and submit it to us! If you suggest the winning name, we’ll give you a spot in the credits, a copy of the game when it’s finished, and we’ll throw in a PS Vita as well! Not bad, eh?!
flameboy Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 2>1>>>>GA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>3 I really don't like the third game, they cocked up the aiming. and the level design was just bad for the most part. They have thankfully patched in new aiming to make it more like the second game. Yeah I remember this being something that was mentioned at launch due to their new modelling of how shots left the chamber or something. Good to hear they did patch it. Personally didn't notice much difference.
Ike Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Okami "bought"! Maybe I shall never install it like how both my PS2 and Wii copies are still sealed. Edited April 3, 2013 by Ike Typos
Happenstance Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah once im finished downloading the Injustice demo I'm gonna get Okami. Might have to leave it going overnight though as its just over 6 gigs. One of those games I always heard was great but I never got round to playing.

flameboy Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Just finished God of War, really enjoyed it despite never really being a fan of the series (played chains of olympus before) Really epic game considering the lack of technical omph. Pours cold water over those who said the Wii could never do "epic" when this is basically running on the same generation of tech. Final boss reminded me of power rangers lol.

Hero-of-Time Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Anyone else get an email from Sony that gives you a code to download a free movie from PSN? I got one the other week but there was no code in the email and now I have just received another one saying sorry and with a code intact.

Retro_Link Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) That Sale is pretty win! Especially as almost literally bought Deus Ex last night on Amazon, and now it's £4.30 with Plus! How good is the Deus Ex DLC?... I guess that's what the Complete Edition is? (@Captain Falcon) I'm tempted just to go for the game by itself. Also... @PlayStationEU It's a good day to be a PS Plus member: 20% off Guacamelee!, 100% off Virtue's Last Reward Don't know what that is really, any good? Edited April 10, 2013 by Retro_Link
drahkon Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Don't know what that is really, any good? Well, if you like visual novels with amazing storylines paired with puzzles to solve you'll love it. Should play its predecessor 999 first, though. NDS game, needs to be imported though. Never been released in Europe. The store has to update soon...can't wait for Guacamelee Edit: oh maaaaan, the game is in the store but whenever I want to buy it an error occurs Edit²: And downloading now Edited April 10, 2013 by drahkon

How good is the Deus Ex DLC?... I guess that's what the Complete Edition is? (@Captain Falcon) I'm tempted just to go for the game by itself. Deus Ex Complete Edition is Deus Ex 1 and 2 for the PC. Human Revolution comes in the following flavours. Deus Ex: Human Revolution - just the base game, nothing else. Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Limited Edition - the base game plus the Explosive Mission Pack DLC Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Augmented Edition - base game, Explosive Mission Pack DLC, Tactical Enhancement Pack DLC, 12 song sound track, "making of" documentary, digital comic and artbook. The Collectors Edition has everything in the Augmented Edition plus a Figurine of Adam and a numbered box. The Missing Link DLC, the proper campaign story driven mode, can only be bought as a download and doesn't come with any version of the retail game. The Wii U version will include it however. The Explosive Mission Pack grants you some Automatic Unlocking Devices, so you can hack anything regardless of your skill, and a Grenade Launcher upon completion of an additional 10-15min bonus mission. You also get some remote detonation explosives. The Tactical Enhancement Pack gives you a Silenced Sniper Rifle, Double Barrelled Shotgun and 10,000 in game credits. Without those bits of DLC, those items won't appear in the game at all - they aren't just giving you bits up front that you'd later find, pay-to-win style. Edited April 10, 2013 by Captain Falcon

Captain Falcon Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Well there seems to be a Human Revolution Complete Edition too? :p Well there was an Ultimate Edition on Mac which had all the DLC and a quick search shows it to be on the US PSN store too. One can only assume that the Complete Edition is infact the Ultimate Edition - so Human Revolution, Explosive Mission, Tactical Enhancement and The Missing Link. And given the pricing structure there, it stands to reason given it's 70% more expensive. At £8 "all in", that's a bargain and a half. If you like the game, playing through it all and the DLC is a good 40hrs of entertainment and there is replay value to be gained by playing again with different skills. The main game took me about 35hrs, doing all the sidequests I came across, and the TML was another 8. Oh yeah, I never answered the "how good" part of your question. TML is more of the same but that isn't a bad thing if you like what you're playing - plus the boss is way better than the ones in the main game. TML also features improeved graphics and enemy AI. The setting is more confined so you'll return to areas a bit more frequently but just getting to reset you skills and having to rely on your basics can prove rather refreshing. That you end up limited to so few upgrades makes each upgrade point you do spend more valuable and so it forces you to play to the strengths of your character who won't be able to do almost everything brilliantly like by the end of the main game. You approach every room differently to how you would in the main game. I really enoyed the DLC myself. The Explosive Mission Pack mission is decent although short but the Grenade Launcher will be handy to keep on you until you fight the next boss which isn't that far away and could eliminate some stress there. Plus the Hacking Devices can be useful early on. Doing an extra mission also means more chances to gain exp and Praxis (upgrade) points. The Tactical pack is a bit pointless really and you won't need the money as your limited inventory will see you flogging lots of the stuff you end up picking up anyway when you get the chance.

Magnus Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 The bad news is that we're getting Hitman Absolution on PS+ next month. Ugh, I'd take another Lord of the Rings game over Hitman: Absolution. Don't know what that is really, any good? That's okay, it's not like you're a moderator on the Nintendo subforum or anything. :p Does VLR have English VA or was that US only? US only.
