Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
no it's not that
i mean not entirely; like future video games are definitely ruined now if they don't seriously step up they game
but even while playing deus ex i kept waiting for it to get like, keeping in mind i loved alpha protocol, just kept waiting for "oh boy here's the good part !" after stealthing around without any satisfaction
but that day never dawned....

The dialogue portions of Alpha Protocol were definitely better than Deus Ex but the combat Deus Ex, which is pretty much the meat of the game, was way better. I guess it's just about what you prefer.

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
i fucking loved both games
deus ex was better overall and played on my nostalgia for the first game, but AP was more ambitious and clever
both i played through 3+ times

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
It's kind of amazing how consistently wrong you are about Rage, and even more so about AP. Shallow characters? EVERY non-rpg game has shallow characters not to mention every non-Valve shooter released since the beginning of video games. This ain't Fallout and it never was trying to be that. You know what other game sends you on fetch quests and to kill thugs? Skyrim.Pisscubes wrote:No, you'll come to miss those aspects when you're trudging around the closed "open world" to do shit tasks in return for shallow characters to say stupid things. You will long for being sent to a hide out to run out of ammo against melee enemies.spacehamster wrote:Played the Rage demo for a bit today. How much of the full game consists of melee enemies charging at you while you try to shoot them, constantly running out of ammo? Because that seems to be most of what I'm doing.
Spacehamster, it's a demo. No, those aren't the only enemies you'll fight and right now I have more ammo that I know what to do with. It's not a game everyone will enjoy but it is a good game and has the best gunplay of any games this generation. It is most certainly worth more than the laughable $10 gotb suggested.
I think I'm going to have to leave the thread for a bit when you guys rent or buy the 360 version of The Witcher 2. "But it's not like Skyrim!"

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
i.e. basically an advertisement (especially considering it's a post-release demo), so I'd expect it to show off something particularly attractive from early in the game.Wang Mandu wrote: Spacehamster, it's a demo.
Look dude, I wouldn't have asked if I didn't see something I'd potentially enjoy in this game. But the shooter section, for the most part, felt like everything that annoyed the shit out of me about Bioshock. Well, except with way better level design. The visuals are great, I'm not sick of the Mad Max setting in games yet, the AI seems good and the level design is great, so I'm still curious, but all I seem to be doing is frantically switching betwen weapons because I ran out of ammo again while someone hacks away at me with a melee weapon, and then that silly defibrillator minigame triggers.No, those aren't the only enemies you'll fight and right now I have more ammo that I know what to do with. It's not a game everyone will enjoy but it is a good game and has the best gunplay of any games this generation.

Report back on this, I'm curious. Would've probably been better if it was Marvel though, considering outside of Batman and Green Lantern the DC universe is pretty fucking lame.Pisscubes wrote:So DC Universe is now totally free on PSN?

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
I played a ton of Saint's Row 3 these last two days. I'm hoping I don't have to complete one of the missions because I can't get passed it. Mayhem, it's called. It was also in SRII and I do believe I couldn't get passed that version either. Having a tiger bitch slap you for awful driving was pretty fun. Being stripped naked, drugged, and possibly raped wasn't
I tried to finally start Skyriim, but I had gotten too drunk and wasn't able to get through the intro without getting dizzy looking at it. Same thing went for Star Wars Force Unleashed, the Vader stuff was cool but once I had to move a box with the force via the two analogue sticks I got blur brain.
Any chance my wife will let me play three days in a row? Hm, if the opportunity arrives I'm going for it, but no way am I going to push for it.

Mayhem isn't too hard... the trick is to string together combos. On the 'easy' levels, just steal a car and drive down the sidewalk plowing through pedestrians and signposts. On 'medium' and 'hard', you're given a rocket launcher with infinite ammo to play with - use it, shoot everything that can be destroyed, better to use a shot to knock down one lamppost than wait for a bigger target if that lamppost keeps your combo going. If you can find a nearby area with lots of fencing, go for it - each section of fencing is one 'item', you can chain some huge combos this way. Gangs and/or cops will be chasing you, but the rocket launcher will make quick work of them - just keep an eye open for brutes and tanks. I cleared all the Mayhem events with these tactics and had plenty of time to spare, the only time I failed one was when I tried to steal a car and use the 'easy' method on a 'hard' one, and got run over and killed by a tank.The Bill wrote:I played a ton of Saint's Row 3 these last two days.

Heli Assault, on the other hand... I can't do the two 'hard' instances of that one, I suck at flying the 'copter too much to be able to take out the gang cars quickly enough... I also dislike the tiger escort, it's funny and all (first time I did it, I was laughing my ass off most of the time) but the fucking tiger always seems to hit you at just the right time to make you crash into something that brings the car to a complete stop... would much prefer that activity if the tiger left you the fuck alone when you manage to keep its rage meter at zero. It's frustrating when you're doing a great job of driving fast through heavy traffic and not hitting anything, then the fucking tiger hits you and makes you crash - or, worse, fly off a bridge or cliff.
None of these activities are essential for the storyline, but they are essential for an 100% completion stat - and if there is any one activity that you don't complete, that'll mean at least 3 trophies/achievements are unobtainable (the achievement for that activity, the achievement for City Takeover in that region, and the achievement for City Takeover of the whole map) - probably 4, because every activity has one each of 'easy', 'medium' and 'hard' in two separate regions... and if you can't do them all in one region, chances are you won't in the other region either.

Thanks, man. I didn't know that gates and lamp posts counted. That might be enough to get me past it.

I have the 360 version, so I'm awaiting them to patch the game before I start. I'm not having my save files magically wipe out.Pisscubes wrote:Still playing Batman again.

I watched a buddy of mine play a bunch of this when it first came out. We're both total DC nerds. My main problem with it was just that it didn't even take advantage of the DC universe license with any real sense of depth. It seemed like the only two real areas were Metropolis and Gotham.IFryKids wrote:Report back on this, I'm curious.

It would be like a version of the LOTR online game where you can only go to the Shire or Mt. Doom. Where's the universe inbetween?
