Im bad at detecting this kind of stuff(I actually didnt mind KZ2's aiming), but what was the general consensus on Bioshock 1's aiming? Is it just me or is it really sensitive?

I tried Bioshock on both 360 and PC, felt very awkward on both, to the point that I couldn't make myself finish it.
-
Shooting in general was just awkward in that game, what with aiming being weird and weapons feeling hollow.
-
Thats what I thought. That's what always bugged me about Bioshock - the guns have no force. Splicers just drop like bricks when you kill them. Its very weird that they overlooked that when the rest of the game is so polished. Im not a huge FPS fan, but I gauge how much I like an fps with how the guns feel when I murder someone with them. Theres a certain "satisfaction" that you get with a good FPS's weapons.

People went crazy over this on Kotaku yesterday. Not so much the people who were against it, but the people defending it....defending it against no one actually, since no one thought this was the worst thing ever. Nintendo fans have been on the defensive preemptively for years now. Im ok with it. If the system is 300, I think thats fair. People have to get paid and once they account for marketing, assembly and shipping, it adds up. I do wonder how long Nintendo can survive off it's main franchises. Im not trying to spell doom or anything, but I dont think a company can survive off a few good games forever. We can talk all day about the awesome third party games on the Wii, but the truth is that no one bought them. They all bought Wii sports and Smash Bros. Its also weird that throughout the entire Wii and DS lifespan, they didnt once create any new mascots or franchises with a face of any kind. Its just weird. Sony and MS both did. They werent Uncharted and Halo machines. I hope the big third parties are onboard with the Wii U. It seems that they are now, but just like with the Wii, the option to back out if their first couple of games fail is still there.

Yeah, I think Japan and WW2 would have been bad ideas. Despite how old the series is, AC is still very much its own thing. You cant get the same game anywhere else. The closest to it is Batman, but even then its pretty different. Japan would have been AC Ninja edition and WW2 would have been AC third person shooter edition. That shits been done. I dont think that's what they want to do.

Chris Redfield, Ezio Auditore and Sonic are all voiced by the same guy. Woah.

So its printed on bible paper?

Thats a tough one. While RE4 isnt as horrory as other games from its own and other franchises, its still probably one of the best games in the genre. SH1,2 and 3 are scarier, but RE4 is a way better game in almost every way. If anything, Id say Dead Space 2 is the best horror game ever made. Soley because it is a horror game that plays extremely well. Its definitely not the scariest. But it is the "best" horror "game."

Its been years since I had an argument or discussion with someone on the innernet where it got to the point where I just had to "leave." Im all for discussing opinions, but not facts. Thats just dumb.

Can you completely upgrade everything in Arkham City without doing a new game plus?
-
Sonic Generations. Lots of fun. Kind of wish I could play as some of the other characters. Even if its a just a skin. Mostly Knuckles and Metal Sonic.
-
Jesus Christ, I could never remember the dpad layout of my gadgets. I fucked up so many times because I pulled out the wrong gadget. I suppose thats more my fault than the games fault though.

So I dont know if this is a bug, intentional, or maybe just bad luck, but everytime Im in a losing fight and i wanna bail and I look up, I NEVER seem to find something to grapple on to. The icon pretty much never shows up And im down on the ground level too. Does being in a fight disable it? Cus I dont see the point of that. I should be able to grapple out of danger. Im sure Batman does it all the time. Anyways, the camera never bothered me. Never noticed it til Rocky brought it up. That being said, I ALWAYS run in games. I dont think most games even need a walk button anymore. Ive been holding the run button since Super Mario Bros. and its worked out fine. In Arkham City, they also need the x button to climb, so you cant automatically run. It just cant be fixed that way. I will say thats one thing Assassin's Creed does better than Arkham City, you shouldnt use a face button to run and climb, because that makes it almost impossible to readjust your camera with the other analog stick while running and climbing, which to me is very important. Thankfully Assassin's Creed has r1 as the run button. As for the fighting, sometimes it takes way too long to beat a few people. Its just tiring after a while. Its fun, but sometimes im not in the mood to get in a fight. The real difficulty with the fighting is all the different button presses for the different types of enemies. Im not going to lie, I get disoriented easily when I have to employ different strategies for different enemies ALL AT ONCE. My fingers are quick enough to counter and fight, but my memory recollection isnt fast enough to remember that im supposed to jump over the guy with the shield and hit him from on top, while countering the guy with the knife who I have to evade 3 times, then hold the counter button the last swipe so I can disable him instantly. While beating up ten other guys who each have their own method of beating. And I fucked something up so I cant do my super counter press two buttons at once attack. Oops.

So Rockstar? Besides fucking up the GTA franchise with GTA4, what bad have they done? RDR was awesome and La Noire was good. Not only that, but their dlc seems to always be a huge expansion, not just a mission or 2 like everyone else. Maybe theyve done something im not aware of.
-
iwant to start Arkham City over, but the new game plus thing sounds lame. Id love to keep my stuff, but Im not trying a harder mode. I had enough trouble with the game as it is.

But on regular battles, even with those dudes with swords it was just a matter of using gadgets alongside battling
-
That's really really hard to do in the PC version. You've gotta use the number keys in tandem with WASD, sometimes double or triple tapping them.
-
That's just the thing, I played on console. Maybe that's an advantage of the controller?
-
I've never had a hickey before in my life, but why do teenagers do that? They cant find the penis? Is that it?
-
Finished AC Revelations. I have a feeling I liked it more than it deserves. The gameplay is the same, but the story I think pulled it all together nicely.

I dont think games are sexualized enough. Theres no nudity in Mass Effect, but there sure is in PG-13 movies. Its funny that the M rating in games is pretty much the most adult stuff(AO doesnt count since almost no games exist with that rating) you can get, but there is hardly ever any simulated sex. We get titties and asses thanks to God Of War, LA Noire, and Heavy Rain, but no one ever fucks in a game. You dont have to show insertion, but you cant even get two naked heterosexual people to grind on each other like a cheap softcore porn. If theres sex, its off screen or the scene fades to black before it goes down. Anyways, I cant wait for the future. Every game will have scissoring and man/man 69ing. Its gonna be great.

Apparently, Persona 3 FES is going to be $9.99 on PSN next week as a PS2 Classic. Nice.

The party AI in FES did what they were supposed to most of the time, but there's always an occasion where they just do the dumbest thing you can imagine, like knocking down one enemy and going straight for a melee instead of trying to knock down the remaining 4. Also, the way knock downs worked was very different in FES. You only earn an additional attack if it was a single-target attack, and recovering from a knock down uses up that character's turn. There were many moments where I w...

I know I certainly got sick of Mitsuru using status ailment skills all the god damn time.
-
...went through an entire battle doing nothing because I kept rising from that damn knock down. And because you have no control over the rest of the team, you're just kind of stuck there until you can recover or die.

An Italian man offers to help you, get things back that were stolen, buys you things, and doesnt tell you what he does for a living....is this Assassin's Creed or Goodfellas?

super mario

No, I think we all got the joke... .. ... .. . . yeah.

Beat Portal 2 again. This time on PS3. Still love it.
-
Is there an actual point to AC1? I just realized that ive played 2, Brotherhood and im still playing Revelations, but I have NEVER gotten lost storywise. You spend a lot of time deciphering Altair's messages, so thats about it.

AC1 had the coolest cities IMO.
-
Are you on PS3 SL? Cos if your'e curious about AC1, ACR on PS3 comes with AC1 on the disc (woot for 25GB+ capacity)
-
i know. i have it. i bought it when i got my ps3 in 2008. i didnt like it at all. I was never going to even give the AC series a chance again, but my friend got me AC2 on my birthday the year it came out(2009?) and I was hooked.

Going from Arkham City to AC Revelations is like being rich, then all of a sudden being poor again.

Which reminds me, I don't think I got all the upgrades. Is the upgrade menu supposed to be full or are there going to be empty spots where those boxes should be?
-
If you're referring to Arkham City, the menu should fill up but some upgrades won't unlock without prerequisites. I know I spent a long time unaware of a better combat combo upgrade that only unlocked when I got the other one I didn't want to get (right away).
-
Thats what I thought. I skipped quite a few side missions, well pretty much all of them. Im going to go back to it as soon as I finish Revelations.
-
This will not end well.
-
I on the other hand would only play Mistwalker games if they paid me.
-
Holy crap, the cg cutscene at the start of AC Revelations was fantastic. Did Ac2 or Brotherhood have cg cutscenes? Outside of FF13, many games dont have them anymore.
