dwarf Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Okay, I've had a considerable bash at my new games... Motorstorm: Pacific Rift is immense. My only complaint is that it's a tad on the easy side Haha! AHAHAHAHA!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (I genuinely chuckled when I read that)
Nicktendo Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Haha! AHAHAHAHA!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (I genuinely chuckled when I read that) I got to rank 6 with relative ease and if the difficulty ramps up I'll be genuinely pleased.
dwarf Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 If I remember correctly I scraped to rank 7 and could not bare losing any more races. It becomes outright unfair.
Nicktendo Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Dunno what you're on about dwarf :p I'm storming through rank 6, only 200 points until rank 7 and it's still not 'hard'
dwarf Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 There is a bloody steep curve coming up, I promise. I remember because I was trying to get one of the trophies for getting to the end when my data corrupted. I can't say I was that bothered because the races at the end were so god-damn irritating. There is one race on the beach level (obviously a lot of them are on beaches) but you start in a bit of jungle, and then do a massive ramp down to a beachy section once you've turned to the left upon landing. It might've been rank 7 or 8, but I'm not sure. I tried that race so many times and just couldn't find the speed. All of the later events, boost just seems to make no difference and you're constantly on the verge of overheating. We might be confusing each other because I only went for gold medals in that game, even though it's a points-based system right? I definitely know I got golds on all races/drift event thingies on ranks 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. Probably got a fair few more golds but on which courses I don't know. I refuse to admit you're better than me I'm Wipeout HD king!
flameboy Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Ordered both Dragon Age Origins (£21 special edition) and Darksiders (£15) today so hopefully will arrive by weekend when im back from Krakow on Saturday! Wanted both these games before but kinda missed them out so I am glad have waited and picked them up nice and cheap for the cost of one game usual.
Gio001 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Anybody on here had any problems with uncharted Drakes fortune ? or any other game that just keeps freezing their PS3. My PS3 is only a few months old & i've not had a problem with any other game. The game disc looks mint & i've even tried my friends copy of the game but it's doing the same. I've had my PS3 led flat, on it's side and i've deleted & re-installed the game save & update all to no avail. It's really annoying as the Uncharted games are part of the reason i now have all 3 of the next gen consoles.

Is this the only problem you're having with it?
Daft Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Do people use the D-pad of the analogue stick for Wipeout HD? I just tried using the D-pad. I think I prefer it a lot more.
Gio001 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Current generation consoles you mean. Anyway, how old is your PS3? What SKU is it? Is this the only problem you're having with it? Yep Current Gen lol. It's 3mths old & thats the only problem. Just wondered if Drakes fortune was well known for being buggy ?? It only does it now & again but when it does it takes ages & a lot of restarts to get through it especially during the early chapters. It hasn't done it since i posted on here lol.
Daft Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I used the analog, easier to do barrel rolls. Barrel rolls aren't a problem either way. It's more the twitch cornering.
dwarf Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Analogue is better, works so much more effectively when airbraking because it's easier to adjust the turn level, there's more grounds to control it.
Daft Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I get that but I find I over steer a lot. I am shit, which might be the problem.
dwarf Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Just be careful when using the triggers. If you press down the triggers slightly at the start of a turn, you can then get a feel of how much more you need to press them to get the correct level of turn. Get to the opening of the corner, start turning and hold the trigger inward a bit, and then just tilt the analogue as far as it goes and use solely the trigger to adjust for the rest of the turn (apex onwards). That's probably too confusing but I think that's how I do it.
Daft Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Nah, that was clear. I'll give it a go next time I'm on. Cheers!
dwarf Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 If you've got a right-hand turn it helps to point your craft left slightly before you take it, makes it less likely you'll scrape the wall you're turning towards and it gives you more time to figure out how much air-brake you want. You get familiar with turns in Wipeout so that eventually you won't have to figure out how much you're applying the air brake. (All the advice I've given is trademark of Dwarf Gourami inc., a formula you cannot get anywhere else. Deathjamm fucking loved it, and you will follow.)
Emasher Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Yep Current Gen lol. It's 3mths old & thats the only problem. Just wondered if Drakes fortune was well known for being buggy ??

I have no experience with Sony's customer service, but I'd imagine it can't hurt to call them.
dwarf Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Well Drake's fortune is known to be buggy. A whole firmware patch (not solely for this game) had to be release once, which fixed it. However, subsequent updates may have undone this work.
Gio001 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Cheers all. Think it's just the game that was buggy. First few levels were a nightmare but it's been fine since, fingers crossed.
dwarf Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/108/1084010p1.html Kind of annoyed that 3D ready TVs hadn't come out at the time when I bought mine last year. I really think 3D HD gaming could be absolutely brilliant, but I'm not splashing out on a new set. It's like I've been unfortunate to marginally miss the last major update televisions have been getting recently :/ Motorstorm in 3D... That would be amazing, I'm surprised there isn't much buzz about console gaming in proper three dimensions.
Daft Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Like most technologies you probably don't want the first generation. I'll give it two years at least, I reckon.
dwarf Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Yeah I guess. I still feel like this has happened too soon after my purchase though. Obviously I bloody enjoy having an HDTV now but why didn't they put this awesome feature in sooner?! It obviously has to be pretty damn cool at this stage by now anyway. Bastards!
Emasher Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I figure by the time my monitor is in need of replacing, there will probably be a 1080p 3D 22" one for around $199. I purchased my current one long enough ago that I don't feel I should have waited.
