ThePigMarcher Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 A bit late to the party but because I've had inFamous 2 sitting on my HDD for months (c/o PS+) I figured it would be worth picking up and playing through the prequel first. Started it a couple of days ago and whilst I wasn't too sure about it at first, now that I'm closing in on finishing up at the first island I'm slowly getting suckered in. Guess that's another advantage of picking up a PS3 really late, in that I still have a massive back catalogue of cheap games to go through/hunt down.
Daft Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 The first Infamous has the slowest build up of any game I've played. It starts off completely meh but by the end it's absolutely magnificent. And then Infamous 2 continues from that point and on that trajectory.
Cube Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Nest PlayStation Plus update: PS3 6th March: Mass Effect 3 6th March: Dead or Alive 5 6th March: Joe Danger 2 Vita 13th March: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection 20th March: Puddle Even though I have ME3, another brilliant update. Especially MGS - I've played the TTS and can't get into MGS4, so this should prepare me for giving MGS4 another try.
Daft Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Really happy about Dead or Alive. It's kind of shit but strangely addictive. Plus tits.
dwarf Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 The thing about MGS4 is that the tiny pockets of gameplay you do get are slow and wasteful. There's about 8 million guns, attachments, stupid CQC manoeuvres and items and techniques, and yet you only really need to use your OctoCamo and a tranquilizer. Areas that look wide open and difficult for stealth can be shuffled through in a simple way, often by tediously skirting around the outside. There are a couple of interesting exceptions but that's literally it for the most part. Drebin's boss stories are pretty good but every other monologue in the game should be skipped or yawned through.
Daft Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 It's more interactive tech demo than game. I reveled in its retardedness, though.
Choze Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Nest PlayStation Plus update: PS3 6th March: Mass Effect 3 6th March: Dead or Alive 5 6th March: Joe Danger 2 Vita 13th March: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection 20th March: Puddle Even though I have ME3, another brilliant update. Especially MGS - I've played the TTS and can't get into MGS4, so this should prepare me for giving MGS4 another try. Crazy good month. Also Konami's first showing.
Magnus Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Worth playing ME1 and 2 before 3? Almost mandatory.
Cube Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Although the game loses it's best feature without the first two.
flameboy Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Mass Effect 3 easily the biggest release PS Plus has seen, hitting just before the 1st anniversary of the game (I think) shame I already have it. I thought when I first read that MGS was for PS3 and was excited....No interest in Dead of Alive 5 so just Joe Danger for me.
Cube Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 The tether? Pfffft, was all about the ice launcher. Ice launch is awesome.
dwarf Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Hey I was the first one to remember its awesomeness, and get its name right. Talk about getting parred off, Cube.
Cube Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 What power do you get if you go the other route?
dwarf Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 A shit one apparently, it's like a weird explosive glide thing (I'm only going by footage and I think Yahtzee said it was pointless in his review)
Cube Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Just finished the final side-quest. Should be able to finish it off tomorrow night.
Rowan Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Uncharted 3 multiplayer F2P looks certain to be dropping this week. Hopefully things like DLC will still work as I'll be happy to no longer have to change discs if I want to do a couple of quick matches.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 We’re proud to announce the upcoming release of KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX for North America ! The young Sora wields the magical keyblade in search of his lost friends, making new ones with Disney’s Goofy and Donald along the way. The story continues through classic Disney stories like Aladdin, Hercules, Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Utilizing RPG mechanics and gaining new exploratory powers throughout his adventure, Sora solidified himself as a starry-eyed hero that bridged Disney classics with a unique overarching story of friendship and courage. This classic hit comes in breathtaking HD with various gameplay enhancements, and is exclusively available for the first time on PlayStation 3 this fall. Woop! Woop! I had my doubts that the west would actually get it.
Daft Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Vita-ise it please. I would like another JRPG after Persona 4.
ReZourceman Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I would like another JRPG Who the fuck are you and where the hell is our pal Daft?!
Sheikah Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Who the fuck are you and where the hell is our pal Daft?! lol. No No Kuni then Persona. What is aaaap.
Daft Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Who the fuck are you and where the hell is our pal Daft?! Not going to lie, I felt super weird writing that.
Cube Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Who the fuck are you and where the hell is our pal Daft?! I should stay away from Persona 4. I don't want to catch what Daft did.
