I'm about 3/4 done with Infamous.

Game is extremely repetitive
The only question that I thought was hard was do I like Kirk, or do I like Picard?

it really is. i don't understand how people finish it. there's only like 4 types of missions repeated 5694 times
if there's anybody in the world who'd be fucking unobservant enough to actually damage themselves with trap-soap I guess it'd be the guy with dialup in 2007

If anyone wants to sell Dead Space 2 on PS3 I will be happy to buy. I will only need/want it during August/September so we could do a mail-loan as well. PM me?

I couldn't (then again, that goes for just about every sandbox game). Clearing out those damned gangs got so tedious and if you didn't, you'd get shot up just traversing the city.

if you decide to download daggerfall, you might want to give this a shot http://www.moddb.com/mods/daggerxl

basically a full engine replacement for the game.

Doable if you like the game. I have limited time for playing games (2 kids, work, house, etc), it takes me one to two weeks to finish a normal length game and I still played Fallout 3, it took me like 2 or 3 months.

maybe you should wait until you've played a little bit more than a little bit of the games before drawing your conclusions

i mean, just an idea... just brainstorming some suggestions...

but you didn't even mention what your first impression was besides that it was not as good as infamous ?

what's not as good ? is it the controls ? the story ? the missions ? the design ? that would be a discussion

not just shaking your emoticon cop stick at me like a jerk

ok well forgetting your act of unwarranted harassment, otherwise that's how grown-ups communicate

i thought the combat was much more fun and engaging in prototype, more options, a lot more convincing of being involved

the city opens up a lot and i had a lot of fun exploring it but this was something infamous did very well so i dunno i could definitely waffle on which did this better

the story in both the games was pretty stupid but really who cares about what skeletal stupid interchangeable story they hang the gameplay on imho

Alpha Protocol > Metal Gear Solid 4. I'll fight to the death over that.

Ha. Get used to it.

Meanwhile, I think I'm at the end of the first town district of Infamous 2. I think aside from the story being kind of lame, part of the problem with this game is that more and smaller town sections was actually a good idea. At least from what I remember, it just created more of a sense of progression. In the second I kind of feel like I've been farting around forever and I could honestly barely tell you what's happened so far other than I've been looking for these blast cores and the black chick is pissed at me because I'm a goody two-shoes. It's a real shame too because the actual gameplay is better and the visuals are pretty awesome too, but it's kind of like they just made the same game again with some smart tweaks to the mechanics and better side missions, but then nobody could think of a story.

I finally had a chance to play more Earth Defense Force this weekend.

I've never played a more awesome final level.

Fuck that, man... I remember sitting down to play the game and I had a bottle of wine, ready to drink as I played. Well, I hit than damn cut scene, and when it was over I was almost done with a second bottle of wine and too drunk to play (probably didn't eat, I do that). I threw a fit because It wasted my time, and then the next morning I can't even remember the cut scene because I got drunk and I will not sit through it again. So, fuck that game.

Wasn't that more like three cutscenes in a row, though? I remember at some point there's a long closing cutscene to a level, then one of those endless "mission briefings" and an opening cutscene to the next level, and all that added up to about 90 minutes.

At least that's what I remember from last time. There's also the one where Big Mama narrates the entire history of the MGS universe as a few character sketches float across the screen, that's a pretty long one too, but I just skipped over it the last time because seriously, go fuck yourself, Kojima-san.
