Strangelove Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Oh God, theres nothing worse than a 360 controller vs. PS3 controller debate. Just call it a draw, dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Haha, yeah, I was borderline trolling by calling it God's controller. Â I'll just say that I find the 360 controller much more comfortable, and I like the feel of the sticks and triggers better, but I don't think you're wrong for liking the DS3 better.

toxicitizen Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) *ignores imminent shitstorm argument*   ... Modern Warfare 3  I actually tried starting it last week and the very first mission gave me this overwhelming feeling of "Ugh, I played this fucking game multiple times before!!" and promptly quit.  Then yesterday I didn't feel like playing Skyrim, so I fired it up to give it another shot. This time I somehow managed to get into it a bit more and finished the first mission. I kept playing and about five missions in something unexpected happened: I realized I was having a blast.  Maybe my expectations were simply too low because of Modern Warfare 2, but I think the game is a shitload of fun. They really cranked up the "crazy thrill ride" factor, and that's what I like most about the series. It seemed like every other mission made me giggle and grin like an idiot because of how ridiculously insane, over-the-top and downright fucking badass it all was.  It probably also helped that they replaced the "regular soldier" part of the campaign with a fucking Delta Force squad. I'm easy to please when it comes to this: put me in the role of a special ops guy and make me go through missions that make me feel like a complete badass and I'll have fun simply getting into character. ...unless the game is too easy and kinda boring... *cough* Medal of Honor *cough*  It's by no means a perfect game nor does it breathe new life into the series. It's not as good as COD4 (which I don't think the series is ever going to top anyway) and they break new ground in the art of having a ridiculously short campaign (main menu says I completed it in 5h12mins! ). But it's nowhere near as stupid as MW2 and I thought it was a lot of fun.  Really glad I didn't buy it, though. I'm probably the last person on earth who still plays COD for the single-player, so with no interest in MP, there's really no way to justify paying 60 bucks for this. Only way I'll be buying this is the same way I bought MW2: two years later, for 15 bucks on Steam.  And now, just because holy shit  SSOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAPPPP, NOOOO!!!!  At first I laughed when I saw I was playing yet another new protagonist. I figured I'd get yet another first-person POV death scene and revert to Soap for the final few missions. But then they fucking killed Soap right before my fucking eyes!! Did NOT expect that.  Also, I actually gasped when I realized I was playing the last level as Price. That was just awesome. Other than that, I loved how it neatly ties all three games together.    Oh, and the Dualshock is the best controller, period.

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yes, agreed all around. The first few missions are pretty linear and dont live up to the rest of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Not really new game completions, but went back to beat Modern Warfare 3 in "Veteran" mode. Kinda hard but not too bad, obviously balanced for a gamepad. Still a good SP campaign. Also beat the Golden Temple in DKCR, now trying for all puzzle pieces.

ADIRTYWINDOW Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Just beat Resonance of Fate a while back and that ending just pissed me off to no end. I mean, the story was stupid to begin with but I went along for the ride because the gameplay was intriguing. Never again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 What's the rule on rebeating a game? Just finished Crisis Core for the third time. I just really like this game. It gives emotional weight to a series of games that didn't have any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Generally you're only supposed to post in here if you just beat it for the first time. But it's not like we'll ban you if you do... Â or will we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 BUT what if this thread didnt exist when I first beat the game, can I post then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Meh, do whatever you want. I've posted a couple of games in here that I'd beat before (though always when it was an HD remake). There aren't really rules, this is just fun to talk about/compare e-peens.

Battra92 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Now I can't decide whether to go back to Skyrim or to start in on Arkham City. :/ Â You will now go play Wind Waker ... and fucking LOVE it! Â As for me, well I can add Pikmin 2 (New Play Control version) to the list. Wow! the Wii controls made a great game even better! Where's my Pikmin 3, Nintendo?! Â My current quandary is whether to go back to Sonic Colors, start Skyward Sword or actually start Atelier Rorona. I really wish I had more time ...
