Sakurazuka posted:I think like the last one that didn't was maybe SW Chronicles 2 on 3DS and that was more of an expanded version of the first game than a sequel. Occasionally they don't bother with the Vita versions of the anime spin-off's, I guess. Bandai Namco didn't want to shell out for Vita localizations of Pirate Warriors 2 and Gundam Reborn, but now they like the Vita and so we're getting Pirate Warriors 3. The jury's still out it seems on Chronicles 3 but it has a Vita version and Tecmo Koei supports that platform way more than it does 3DS so I could see them going out of their way for it. If not then it's okay because it's just a standalone Chronicles mode and SW4 (available in English) has that built into it. To my knowledge, Samurai Warriors 3: Empires was the last non-HD remake Musou game on consoles we didn't get overseas, and some people think that may have to do with Nintendo and their involvement with the original Wii release of SW3 overseas.

Resident Evil I'm going to buy, so I'm hoping there's some digital titles to bridge the gap or I just might get around to buying Far Cry. You should buy Far Cry, it's a lot of fun; look on Craigslist or something, there should be a lot of cheap copies floating around at this point. As far as digital stuff goes, we might be getting Hotline Miami 2 in the next. couple months -- Steam preorders (and with them, a release date) are supposed to go live by the end of Janury.

I liked First Light but honestly I don;'t think I'll 100% it. It was fun while the story was going on, but the city still feels lame and lifeless. The combat feels pretty stiff, slow down time or punch things. Fetch can take a lot of damage even on ard mode. The graphics are great that first scene with the cops flashlight at the dock floored me. And I played Second Son. Like second son they did that thing that sounds really great on paper but actually is kind of not done for a reason. At the end of the game they introduced new mechanics. You can climb gratings, sure you could always do it but being as the majority of the game you spent holding down B and running and jumping ultra fast it wasn't something you would discover on your own. This also revealed the fact that your characters walks and bounces so awkwardly when jumping. It's super distracting its the same thing with Deslin in SS but you never notice it as you stop walking around as soon as you get powers . There's also a whole slew of unlocks as the game ends but being as the freeroam is pointless (even more so than SSes version) and the arenas are kind of a thing I'm just not sure I'll go back. It was just the right length too. SS kind of dragged on and this one didn't wear its welcome thin.

second-hand smegma posted:Hey, that's right across the river from me! So you're saying the latest inFAMOUS game is almost taking place in Portland. Honestly, Fetch does have a lot of flair and zippers and poo poo. I wonder if she drinks cider and kombucha and says things like 'follow your bliss'. They really need to change their name to North Portland already and stop besmirching our good name. Well not really good, but more well known.

The Swapper is actually really cool. if you liked games like Braid or Fez or Portal where you've got one core puzzle mechanic that's utilized a bunch of ways throughout the game it's worth checking out (also free on PS+ this month for what it's worth)-- not sure if it quite stacks up to those games, I haven't finished it yet, but so far I'm impressed. The art is really good too, I forgot how sick claymation can look

I played and finished Swapper on PC and enjoyed it, but you have to go in with the expectation that it's a puzzle game through and through. Somehow I thought it would be a bit more of a Metroidvania (despite having no combat), and got a little frustrated at one point when I had to do like five puzzle rooms in a row to be able to unlock the next area. But the puzzles are pretty clever, and the plot (and ending) are interesting to think about.

Wasn't the LA in True Crime supposed to be 1:1? And it was terrible as hell to drive in and boring as gently caress to explore, and everyone I know hated it except for people who actually lived in LA and said "oh cool I found my house/where I work". And yeah, it was really weird to see how much random insignificant stuff in GTA5 actually had a real-life counterpart to it.

The Swapper machine mechanics are interesting to think about even without finishing the game, though - I'm sure at this point I'm running around in the body of one of the clones, so it shoots the character's soul? An interesting machine.

After stuff like second son and the Getaway on PS2 and LA Noire I find that real 1:1 maps of cities tend to be dull to drive round. Simple reason being they were not designed to be fun to drive round. Give me a Rockstar stylised city any day of the week. I could find my way round London in the Getaway as I know my way round in the real city, but drat it was dull to do.

MrLonghair posted:MLB'15 I just hope they remembered to fix the online and issues for. If you don't play online, The Show is rendered completely unnecessary by Super Mega Baseball. Seriously, it's that good. I recommend you make a US account and buy it from there. SMB is the best arcade sports game I've played since Sensible World of Soccer or the hockey arcade cabinet 2 on 2 Open Ice Challenge. Since I found the perfect difficulty setting (can be adjusted on a scale of 1-99), each season match has been genuinely exciting in a way most sports games never are. And it's not just "press X to mash dingers", I think the pitching and batting mechanics are more enjoyable than what The Show has. There's an intricately designed game in the guise of silly arcade bobbleheads. Fielding is kinda automatic and hard since there are no guides, but that's the least fun aspect in video game baseball anyway.

I liked LA Noire's world because I felt that driving from scene to scene, and having room for chases and stuff added a lot to it. It had a lot of unnecessary areas though. They probably could have made it level based but I don't know what you use as barriers in that case.

I asked this in the specific thread but I bet I would get a quicker answer here. And yes I tried Googling for it and couldn't find an answer. So since my gf and I live together obviously only one of our accounts has PS+ right. So does that seriously mean her account can't play Diablo 3 online? Because the way Diablo 3 is set up you have to have a separate account to do couch co-op so she can't just make characters on my account and use them when we play locally. So like what the hell Sony, that's dumb.

This was the case with Wolfenstein: The New Order and that was a game well worth playing through twice. Obviously there is nothing correlative between the two but I think it's worth noting a game lacking MP can still have good replay value depending on how the world is built.

To be fair, there's an argument for not including multiplayer in single player focused games because it just seems tacked on a lot of the time to tick some boxes. Bioshock is an example of a great single player game without multiplayer. Then you have disasters like Metal Gear Online. I don't care what anyone says, MGS3 and MGS4's online modes were janky as gently caress with atrocious gameplay.

QTEs, third person cover shooting, overly scripted/linear, etc. Visually it looks incredible but all of the gameplay demos so far have been underwhelming at best. Bloodborne is the only real exclusive I'm interested in this year, never really got into the Persona games. Is there a way to remove the Music/Video Unlimited tiles that I will never use on the homescreen? They seem to be the only ones without a delete button. Also any word yet on system suspend/resume for games? I haven't checked lately.

And welp, right back to going to war with the Vektans because...  . Though I find it interesting that for a character supposed to be a spec-ops assassin, they have no silenced weapon and a top-secret "we were never here" infiltration ended with the destruction of a colossal statue. I've given up any pretext of stealth and just started plugging Helgast with the shotgun.

90% of games with competitive multiplayer don't need it (apparently Far Cry 4 has it?? I don't even know how to access it and I beat the game lol) but The Order looks like a Gears clone so having multiplayer would make it a lot more appealing as a PlayStation game imo
