Cube Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Just finished Uncharted 2. It's a brilliant, brilliant game. It's surprisingly varied and it's very fast paced and yet not short. When's the next one out? I want it now. And Doughnut Drake is awesome.
Daft Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 OMG Doughnut Drake is the best thing ever. I love how they make his voice fat, too.
dwarf Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 It feels embarrassing when you get killed by him online, I mean, you can't miss him.

Oxigen_Waste Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Where's the option to swap L1 and R1 for L2 and R2 in Uncharted? The default controls suck and I can't find the option to change it anywhere. Seriously. Do it. Now. Just finished Uncharted 2. It's a brilliant, brilliant game. It's surprisingly varied and it's very fast paced and yet not short. When's the next one out? I want it now. And Doughnut Drake is awesome. The difference in quality from the first one to the second one is amazing, isn't it? When I started it I got kind of bummed, because those 2 chapters in Borneo are exactly like Unch 1, but as soon as you get to Nepal... 25 chapters of absolute action/adventure perfection. Quick question, didn't you think Shangri-la was a disappointment? The whole last chapters since you get in, I mean (especially that final boss, bah). Also, you're missing the most important PS3 game next to/alongside Unch 2 in your collection: >MGS4/HeavyRain/GoW3/LBP/whatever else. Also also, don't let these fool you:Infamous/killzone/resistance. Massively overrated. All of them. One thing I don't understand are the Nathan Fillion comments. He's nothing like him and much more like Joe Flanigan. Both wrong.

All of them. Agree with Demon's Souls, it's quite the experience. Agree with Infamous being massively overrated. The multiplayer of KZ2 is actually brilliant though, and so was R2s at the time of its release. The campaigns are another story, as they are with most FPS'. Resistance 3 is going to be awesome though. Edited February 25, 2011 by dwarf
flameboy Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 my copy of demon's sols still hasn't arrived from Zavvi grrrrrrr.
Cube Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 What's it like compared to Ninja Gaiden? It's currently £15 over at ShopTo.
dwarf Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 What's it like compared to Ninja Gaiden? It's currently £15 over at ShopTo. It's a whole different beast, pretty much the only similarities are that they are in third person, and they feature swords. Just buy it!
Daft Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 InFamous isn't overrated. It just takes an age to get going. By the end of it it's fantastic. Dwarf is just bitter because he was really looking forward to it. What a fanboy.
dwarf Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Ahahahaha! It's still overrated. The world is uninspiring. Enemy, combat and mission variety is pants, and basically it's just very drab. It's devoid of personality, and Cole comes across as an utter arse. Plus the game could've been so much better if the glide ability wasn't crap. At least give him a slight flight boost/limited flying power. Climbing stuff is also wank, half the game you'll be holding forwards whilst mashing x waiting for Cole to find that obligatory copy and paste ledge. It scored 85 on metacritic, but it's a 7/10 game at best.
Daft Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 It ends so much better than it starts I only really remember having fun. I know this wasn't the case at the time, though.
drahkon Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 It scored 85 on metacritic, but it's a 7/10 game at best. If you say so.
MATtheHAT Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Demon's Souls is an absolute masterpeice. Just thought I would leave this here........
Cookyman Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Demon's Souls is an absolute masterpeice. Just thought I would leave this here........ That is fucking awesome.
Oxigen_Waste Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 The multiplayer of KZ2 is actually brilliant though, and so was R2s at the time of its release. The campaigns are another story, as they are with most FPS'. Resistance 3 is going to be awesome though. That may be true, but I wouldn't know. Multiplayer to me is either Team Fortress/L4D/Unch2 or CoD. I really have absolutely no interest in adding anything to that mix and while I did try KZ2 and R2 multiplayer and enjoyed them, I just didn't see the point. So yeah, I'm judging them based solely on singleplayer. And they're both overrated. Even if I did enjoy them. Which is more than I can say for Infamous, which I gave up on 3 hours in.
Happenstance Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Have Sony ever said why you cant stay connected to the PSN when watching dvds? It would make life so much easier if I could put a dvd on while downloading something!
flameboy Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Have Sony ever said why you cant stay connected to the PSN when watching dvds? It would make life so much easier if I could put a dvd on while downloading something! Yeah I've always thought that was dumb. Guess its because it shuts it all down and just keeps that minimum running it needs for a dvd to play. Does 360 do such things?
Happenstance Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 You could always stay connected while watching a DVD, that's what makes this all the more annoying.
Cube Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 I always forget that the PS3 can't download in standby mode.
flameboy Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 I always forget that the PS3 can't download in standby mode. You can leave it to switch off when it's done not quite the same but still it's an option
Cube Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Just started playing MGS4. The only MGS game I've played was The Twin Snakes and that was awesome. I've just had an incredibly long cutscene with some guy selling me guns (seriously, this part should have lasted less then a minute) then Otacon phoned me to explain it all again. Which is rather annoying as up to that point the game has told me barely anything about the game's mechanics. I don't know how the alarms work (the timer seems to reset for unkown reasons), it took me ages to find out that you could unequip your gun to do stealth attacks, the radar (once you get it) is unreadable (not to mention the whole eye patch thing makes no sense... especially as Otacon claims it's in 3D when it only covers one eye) and loads of little stuff like that. I'm over an hour in and I still know barely anything about how you play it. I have little interest in the story so far. All I know is that I'm in some middle-eastern city with HL2:EP2 Hunters running around, and that I need some people who have seen Liquid Snake. Throughout the cutscenes there also seem to be button prompts that bring up barely-visible concept art. I have no idea what that's about. So far, the graphics are very ugly (probably not helped by the bland setting) as I seem to be looking at mainly low quality textures. The character models don't even seem that good, either. So, based on the first hour and a bit, the game seems utterly terrible. The worst experience I've had this generation (excluding Doctor Who on Wii).
Daft Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) You shouldn't bother with MGS4 unless you've played the other three. As in, I seriously wouldn't bother. 4 is glorious fan service. Also, how is the radar unreadable? Edited February 27, 2011 by Daft
Cube Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Also, how is the radar unreadable? It's a blurry mess of pixels. I was expecting something similar to the one in TTS.
Oxigen_Waste Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 So wait, you actually thought MGS4 was a game? Ah ah ah ah... It's just a movie, Cube. It's useless to play it unless you know the story of the first 3. And even then, it's just damage control. Much like any single game that came out on the PS3's early stage, it's overrated.
