Ryan Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I'm holding off a day 1 buy to finish God of War 1/2 and a bit more Valkyria Chronicles.
That Guy Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I'd much rather like to enjoy this game than not (and honestly, why would anyone not want to enjoy a game? Ultimately, it's my loss if I don't) that's why I'll give the demo another go. It's Crackdown's obvious differences that make it the game it is. And one MASSIVE difference, and the reason I actually bothered to play Crackdown. Co-op. Oh and collecting them orbs. I spent ages running and jumping around collecting them. Other than that I didn't enjoy Crackdown all that much. It was just fun to fuck around. The actual structured part was a bit crap I thought.
flameboy Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Well played the demo and really liked it seemed a solid enough game. However I think whilst there was a good mix of mission types demonstrated I do feel that within each mission there was too much repetition, this could have been solved in two ways make the missions just that little bit shorter or mix things up in different ways. I loved the defence between good and evil, the electricity effect was more controlled and elegant when good and more wild and uncontrolled as a bad guy. I think I am actually tempted to be in bad in this, not something I often do.
Strange Cookie Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Played the demo, and I know where my money is going to go next week. Judging from the reviews and the demo, this is much better than I had given it credit for. nice job!
dwarf Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 Seems like a 50/50 split. I've played it 4 times because I liked roaming so much.
flameboy Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 I'm defintely going to get it just have to wait till I next get paid on 15th June...due to skintness. Love everything about it I've decided, played it again and think its awesome. Love the cut scenes and think the voice over work is of a really high standard all helps to draw you in. Gimme chance to get Fallout 3 level maxed out before I get it, plus playing GTA Chinatown Wars and Plants vs Zombies oh and still got Valkiriya Chronicles to complete. so plenty to keep me occupied whilst I wait rather than buy it and not eat for 2 weeks!
Chris the great Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 played the demo, and i really liked it. deffo keeping that pre order on. just loved the feeling of fredom and smoothness of combat.
That Guy Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I don't like how there's not a great indication of where shots are coming from, and also it seems to me like a couple of shots and you're dead. 1UP mentioned upgrading your health straight away so maybe this is something that wouldn't really be an issue in the game, but I'm still not feeling this game. I'd probably be willing to give the full game a go if I didn't already have a back catalog of games to play through. I have noticed how I rarely like demo's of games, so I could enjoy the full game.
Pit-Jr Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Oh good it looks like my copy will be here in the morning. Ive avoided the demo and most of this thread, so this will be a fresh experience
Domstercool Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 *Rubs hands in glee* Shopto shipping theirs out in the morning! WOO!
Deathjam Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 *Rubs hands in glee* Shopto shipping theirs out in the morning! WOO! Shopto is a God send isnt it.
Aimless Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 I've received a dispatch e-mail from them, but is this just one of those times where they process everything the day before and then actually send everything out on the Wednesday? I've had it happen a few times when they've had a lot of orders to get through. If you're at all interested in Sucker Punch I'd suggest you check out their three Developer Diaries. They're only tangentially about inFAMOUS; it's behind the scenes of the developer, not the game.
Pit-Jr Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Got mine early this morning from Amazon of all places. I spent a good 2 hours on it and so far so good! I really wanted to go into this being a bad guy but the first sight of an innocent woman twitching on the ground and ive decided to be Captain Planet again Cole handles like a monkey and his platforming acrobatics rarely let me down. If my objective is to leap from a tightrope to a pole to a building ledge, it happens 99 percent of the time so thumbs up on the controls! Also Empire City isnt quite as interesting or pretty as, say, Liberty City, but its very detailed and much more interactive and to be fair, ive barely seen any of it yet Tried to redeem the Uncharted 2 beta code but its not up until June 3rd here
Deathjam Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 My copy has shipped. I could do with a group hug right about now. SUPER DEPRESSED cos man utd just went and lost the champions league final but infamous limited edition is easing the blow a little bit. Maybe too depressed to go to work tomorrow... Sigh, does not make me feel THAT much better.
Deathjam Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) What do you think of the Special Edition? Assuming you got it. Looks petty but cant actually tell whats special about it. Comes with a small booklet with some fancy art in it and a redemption code that gives you some blades. Do we EU owners not get access to the Uncharted beta? Did not care till it looked like i dont have it EDIT: Trophies are done in the style of Fallout I.E. relatively simple to obtain if you put in a little time and effort. I very much like it this way although some are hidden and one is to complete the game on hard. Edited May 27, 2009 by Deathjam
Chris the great Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 my copy isnt here yet, but the postie is bloody lazy, wont expect him til after 1 any way.
Deathjam Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 The giga blade thingies are actually kinda nice. Though they seem to be a one use kinda thing. You pull them out, use them, baddie dies, and they go back in. And it uses energy each time you pull them out. I think it's an instant kill so its been made this way to avoid abuse.
Razz Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I played the demo today and just sorta found it hard to get into. I found Cole to be slightly boring and forgettable. I'm surprised I'm not in love with this, I adore superheroes and electricity etc. Does the demo do the full game any justice?
Deathjam Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Cole has quite a few of his powers in the demo which i dont even have after about half a days play, but it really is loads of fun. When when you knock an enemy off a tower, and then attach a nade to him which kills him before he hits the ground, the feeling of 'damn I am badass' is immense. Can't wait till i get a few more powers but the game feels as if it's quite massive. I think there is three islands and I have nearly finished the first one. Story is very cool too but a bit obvious in places.
Deathjam Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) I should have it tommorow. You should of had it today Anyways, playing on hard is just that. Very easy to die, even when you max out the damage reduction. Just about to get a new power...wonder what it is... EDIT: It's not what I was expecting, but damn has it been needed. Edited May 28, 2009 by Deathjam
Chris the great Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 im enjoying it so far, love being the hero. ive done some spectacular moves so far, punched a guy so he was falling off a tower, then, jumping with him, i delivered a final death blow kick and sent him flying. good times.
dwarf Posted May 28, 2009 Author Posted May 28, 2009 Jealous, very jealous. If only thread creators got a free copy of the game for advertising...
Deathjam Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 In the words of Cole: 'Oh hell yes' after just unlocking the thrusters. The demo only scratches the surface of the game, and all the footage from trailers etc. dont do this game justice at all. So much fun. Even the boss battles are well thought out and the first one (well its all i done so far) is a real head trip! Got 11 of 21 stunts done but really struggling to do the 'take down an airborne enemy with a melee attack'.
flameboy Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 ARGH damn not being able to afford this game until get paid on the 15th...It sounds awesome I'm not even sure I will defintely pick it up then either as Ghostbusters is out that week.
