deanb Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah I figured it'd change your FOv, just wanted to see if it automatically enables controller and maybe changes up the HUD somewhat. I only got the game last night, so whatever mode is in it at the moment. Why would you think I'm holding tab down? pressing tab disables the HUD anyway.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Weird. No idea what's going on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel_excel Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 117 hours into Xenoblade, I'm trying to go through it as fast as I can but I just can't speed through it, I love exploring and doing sidequests, and the little stories integrated into some of the sidequests are awesome. I'd say I must be about 3/4 of the way through by now. I want to finish it before starting The Last Story. I've also been playing Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey, which is awesome, and difficult at times which I love, nice to have a RPG kick my ass. And got back into Darksiders on PC, which is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 yikes, think I may make a concerted effort on my backlog before I start xenoblade then. Just started AC:Brotherhood. I remember liking the controls for the previous games, but having just come from fable iii they seem really convoluted, and I have to keep looking at the marionette(?) in the corner. Hopefully they'll sink in so I don't keep getting pulled out of the flow by it. So far I hate the cannons, they are soo slow to move and then reload so I hope they don't appear too often. That all sounds like a bit of a downer though so I should say I'm enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I found all the 'extra' mechanics to be pretty terrible. There are more bits like that, and they are just incredibly awkward. Optional though, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Portal 2. Don't have much free time but I've done the first five or so rooms, and it's as fun as Portal 1 was. I'm enjoying Wheatley as well, Stephen Merchant's a great voice actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Enslaved-ish. Not massively drawn me in right away mind, coding took priority a bit. Gonna see about beating it before Friday. Looks a bit Bulletstorm-ey but melee. I'm not sure I'm into the melee stuff, maybe not my cup of tea. The escort stuff isn't too bad though, at least she has useful abilities. Still doing Bioshock 2 now n then on PC. Up next for RPGs (After FFXIII-2 and ME3 this month) is Alpha Protocol so I can uninstall it (I got it when Currys/Dixons opened their digital distribution store and I've a feeling I won't be able to re-install it once it's gone, so if I can beat it and uninstall it I can wipe my OS without fear.) As for Portal 2, I ended up with Want You Gone on my playlist yesterday and I do kinda want to do Portal 2 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 You got it on PS3? I might need to recruit someone for Co-Op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I've got Portal 2 on both PS3 and PC. Though I think my sister has my PS3 copy atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Can't you cross-play between PC and PS3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yeah Ethan, we had the reveal on it being PC-PS3 cross platform play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I know, the earlier conversation just made it seem like you guys were acting like you both needed a PS3, and I phrased it as a question instead of a statement because I didn't want to sound like a dick and also I was only 99% sure, not 100%.

Saturnine Tenshi Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just took a walk through the wetlands to pick up Tales of Graces ƒ. Installing game data... 53%. I hope I can overcome the lurid dub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 As I am borrowing the game from a friend, will me playing cross play with PC affect anything to do with him redeeming his copy on his steam? I ask purely because all the fancy schmancy crap with crap is confusing and I can't be bothered to google the answer. Yes, I'm dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Not unless you redeem his steam code to your account. I wan to play on PS3 anyway just cos it makes it a bit simpler to join together, n I can use my headset. Also kicks my arse into action to get my games n gear back off sister.

Little Pirate Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Almost finished with the first Mass Effect, pretty eager to move on to the 2nd one. Might have to wait to be able to afford the 3rd one, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 After beating Mass Effect 3 for the second time, I think I'm finally burnt out on it. Leaning toward maybe doing DX:HR next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Started 3D Dot Game Heroes today. Sort of enjoying it. I do like the style, but mostly it just reminds me how many improvements Nintendo has made to Zelda over the years. The forward thrust being the standard sword attack instead of the 90° swipe is really frustrating already as you can be standing a tiny fraction of side to an enemy and you miss it and having to stand just so in front of signs and people is annoying. Also, the 'moblins' fire arrows at you from off the screen which is just rediculous. The save system is well shonky too though I believe that is alleviated by a tent later in the game. The side quests don't seem to be well sign posted either - especially considering they don't stay available the whole time. I'm on the second temple at the moment, and haven't been playing long at all, so I hope they beef up the story a bit as at this rate it's not going to last long at all. And despite the moany post I do want it to be a decent length as I am enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 You learn to swipe at all times. It'll really make sense once you start to lengthen your sword. Anyways, remember that this is a From Software game. Most of the issues you have are likely intentional. Also, beef up the story? It's a Zelda parody. Zelda games didn't have much story in that era. Though there are jokes throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) yeah, I phrased that badly, I didn't mean a more detailed story, just that the game seems to be flying by very quickly. How long does a playthrough take? seems like it's only going to be 7 or so hours? I'm trying to get in the habit of swiping, but I find it a bit hard on the pad's stick as it feels like you have to push it really far which I've never noticed on other games, I would actually like to use the directional pad, but the left stick seems to be in my way. which I've also not noticed on other games.

TheMightyEthan Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 There's something completely overpowered and awesome about being able to walk into a room with a maxed out sword, do a 360 degree swipe and kill everything. It reminds me of Drain Life in KotOR II. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of Drain Life in KotOR II. Oh god. I want to play this game again. Anyways, depending on how much side stuff you do a run through the game can take a lot longer than you think. Then there's new game plus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I just got to the Lakeview Hotel in Silent Hill 2.
