My wife is playing (and loving) World of Keflings but, since finishing Fallout:New Vegas, I'm drifting gameless right now. Wondering whether to try Red Dead Redemption or Atelier Rorona. Not exactly bed fellows I know
-
Hmmm. Not a lot of great games there (one or two exceptions). If fast paced third-person acrobatic fighting is your thing then I strongly recommend Bayonetta. Can be picked up very cheap and it's just astonishing.
-
Hallo Manuel! Gone all hi-def on us. Nice.
I must recommend Everybody's Golf: World Tour. You can pick it up cheap now and it's just perfect.
Flower is a rather lovely game too.
Surprised about the DVD playback quality. There are settings for upscaling in the video options. I've found the video quality to be pretty good. Sound is perhaps a bit more flat than a decent dedicated player though.
-
As for PSN downloads, I do love Pain. It's just funny and so well made.

The power of enemies, as I understand, is based on your level. However, it only contributes to their stats, rather than completely defining them. Consequently, you'll still be able to drop a Deathclaw with a single shot at level 30, a feat impossible at level 10.

Here's what happens. The monsters attack earth like they were always going to. Sheppard has to find factions to help him/her defeat monsters. By completing small sub-missions, he/she gets that support. Big explosive cut scene involving spaceship. Spaceship lands/crashes so we can do the boss battle on foot as the game mechanic demands. Small plot twist that alters nothing. Sheppard has to fight very large, but surprisingly manageable, final boss. Another small plot point brought about by some dialog that changes nothing. Sheppard kills boss. Yay. Big stupid James Cameron ending tinged with melancholy. Credits roll.

Don't know. Mass Effect 1 was brilliant. A perfect reboot of the KotOR style RPG without the need for Star Wars. Mass Effect 2 was a weird animal, seemingly ashamed of it's RPG roots, with little or no exploration and a game mechanic that was so blatant (meet companion in mission, do mission for that character, repeat..) that it jarred.
This third episode is just going to be 'bigger and better' (which means 'louder and stupider).

Well, if it's only going to work for a few weeks, you could always trade it in to gamestop

I LOVE those little digital watches that unclip from the strap and transform into a robot.
-
That's a decent deal for an excellent game.
2600 Frogger is my favorite version (arcade included).
-
If I could change anything, I'd have the world populated with more raiders and a LOT less Geckos. God, I hate geckos.
-
Deathclaws aren't so bad. By the time you really get face to face with them, you'll be tough enough to drop them pretty quickly. Warning: they get a LOT tougher in Fallout: New Vegas. I'm maxed out, level wise, and I'm still keeping my distance:)
As for the rest of Fallout 3: as you level up to the mid teens, you'll be pretty much indestructable and, after a while, it gets fun walking into known danger areas because no matter what shambling horror gurgles it's way into view, you get to gloriously despatch it with one explosive headshot
Oh yeah, get a sniper rifle as soon as you can. That really takes the mystery out of the more open areas. You can see (and safely kill) anything long before it even knows you're there. -
I'd say the PS3 will last pretty well. The first thing to go in consoles are the moving parts, and the PS3's (HD and Blu-ray drive) are both pretty-much stock and, AFAIK, aren't tied to the device in the same way that the 360s are.
-
The invisible walls are annoying. The bugs are really p***ing me off quite a bit. Still, even with all that, ALL other games seem inferior to it so I'm happy to keep playing. Intelligent games are rare, so I get what I can.
-
It may be even buggier than Kotor 2, but the feeling that you're directly influencing the world is unparalleled.
I'd rather play a bug ridden title that at least tries to offer some proper maturity than something like Mass Effect 2 that was so polished but clearly aimed at people with a mental age of 12.
-
Wrong. There's no posts because we're playing it
Great game, but some really terrible bugs. Fallout 3 used to crash a lot, which Vegas doesn't, but there are at least 3 missions I have that can't be completed due to bugs. Anything involving the Great Khans seems to be problematic, in the 360 game at least.
Don't get me wrong though, it is an awesome game and I've clocked 130 hours so far. There level of moral complexity is way beyond Fallout 3.
-
Mass Effect 2 WAS an FPS with lasers. All of the rich universe was defined in the first game which I loved (I even bought an xbox to play it). Might not even bother with the third installment. Hopefully, they'll get the FPS thing out of their system with this spin off, so we can get back to Role playing for the last game proper.
-
90+ hours into Fallout: New Vegas. Right now, I can't imagine ever playing anything else - other games just seem shallow and childish by comparison
-
Well, I voted 'Plot Driven' since my favorite games all fall under that category. HOWEVER, it totally depends on the game. There's nothing worse than an out and out arcade game that's trying to also be filmic. What I'm trying to get at, I guess, is keep the plots for the RPGs - and let me play them
-
Having done a bit of layout for some game boxes (for Bandai), I can tell you this is all sadly unavoidable. There are so many little elements that not only have to be there, but have to be specifically spaced. For example, on the back of Playstation games, the PS3 and Playstation logos have to be a very specific distance apart, and an equally specific distance from any other logo.
The only thing I think could be improved is the multi language text. You should see the back of DS game packs in UK. There is one, maybe 2 screenshots - a half inch wide - with only a very basic paragraph of text. US boxes are quite commodious by comparison. Now surely it can't cost much to print an inlay for each country of sale.

There were too many lazy Fantasy RPG archetypes in Dragon Age for my liking. I just couldn't care about any character in it.
I do think Bioware have a certain shallowness when it comes to crafting NPC personalities. Mass Effect (especially 2) springs to mind also. Those guys were absolutely cardboard.
Bethesda and Oblivion games just seem a lot more 'grown up' to me.
-
Loads of unique weapons here that I've not heard off. Maybe I should explore more. I just fell back in with my old Fallout 3 staples of Plasma Rifle and Sniper Rifle.
Damn, weapons wear out real fast in this game, don't they?
-
Right, level 27 and I'm beginning to hold my own.
Got slaughtered by some Deathclaws in a quarry (Deathclaws are many many times harder than they were in FO3). Finally hit the magic formula. Sniper rifle (though a good hunting rifle will probably do) with .308 Armor piercing ammo. They seem to be all armor. Took a good half hour of standing on a rocky outcrop pouring ammo into a bunch of them before I figured this out. Today, I took out the baddest of them all, one called the Legendary Deathclaw - purported to be the hardest enemy in FO:NV - with a single shot.
Still, SOMETIMES I don't get lucky and SOMETIMES a smart Deathclaw figures out how to get up to me. Then I'm dead.
Oh yeah, and I'm also hoarding duct tape and glue. I wish there was a cheap way to repair armor. I'm pretty much walking around with my butt out

I'm just going to coast to level 30,where there's a perk that lets you repair from 'similar' gear (ie. Sniper rifles from hunter rifles, power armor from metal armor). New Vegas's is a pain for repairing stuff. Why do I have two different 40mm grenade launchers that aren't inter-repairable?

I unmodded mine last week. My modded PSP had been loaded with all sorts of emulators and homebrew, but I never used it.
So now it's getting a bit more use as a PSN enabled PSP.
