I feel like the jetski was an out of control reactionary level redesign.

Too slow, give then a jetski

They just fly though it now, add Donkey Kong explosive barrels

They keep running out of ammo, make it unlimited

It's too easy, add a hell of a lot more guys

It's too hard to hit, make it a grenade launcher

I think the original Uncharted is a fine game. I liked how it forced you out of cover and encouraged run and gun. I found the late game switch up to be fun (just run and shotgun).

The second is just an improvement in every way though. Amazing set pieces and little gameplay changes that made it feel more dynamic.

Three is the worst story, very disjointed but the gameplay is as good as the second (maybe better?) and the best set pieces. But the iffy storytelling really hurt this one.

Uncharted Vita is just poo poo. Uncharted without big set pieces, iffy controls, and a second rate story is not fun.

Four is a game where you're in awe moment to moment, but the pacing is just a bit off and it never got into a good momentum. Probably the best story, though I wish it did have some supernatural element, I was just waiting for it all game.

BeanpolePeckerwood: May 4, 2004; I MAY LOOK LIKE SHIT BUT IM ALSO DUMB AS FUCK

It's funny, 3 had some of the worst plot, but easily some of the best character writing. If you don't really care about plot then it shouldn't matter too much, it's never been a strong suit of the series anyways.

Are there any modes that are more like CE, or is it really just CEDX2. Cause CE is way better than DX.

# ? Sep 12, 2016 02:41

In Training: Jun 28, 2008

They didn't put DX in the title, I think the idea is a sequel to original CE. But I also haven't seen any info beyond hey, new pac man game and then I bought it.

I've only ever played DX, what was changed from CE?

# ? Sep 12, 2016 02:46

CE was just a better Pac-Man, redesigned in an era of widescreen TVs and super fast paced score attack games. It has the same kinda board design as DX where its segmented and clearing one half of the screen refreshes the other side, and essentially the same time attack constarints, but you're dealing with ghosts and power pellets like its straight up regular rear end Pac-Man instead of building up and cashing in trains like DX which turns it into a very different game. DX is good too, CE is just a lot harder and more skillful IMO

I though PS4 and PC players already could play against each other re: Rocket League?

Right, but I was talking about Live/PSN cross-network play. Which is what the Rocket League folks said they could do with, essentially, the flick of a switch. They just need Sony to get on board.

Update from 2 or 3 pages ago: I got EDF 4.1 and it was 100% the correct decision. I play a cyborg lady swooping at enemies, my girlfriend plays a regular soldier and accidentally rockets me in the face. 10/10.

Well, the trailer shows tons of ghost trains so take that for what it's worth.

Ometeotl: Feb 13, 2012; It's MISSEL! Or SISSLE!
I confused myself...

So I tried to Preorder Pacman CE2 but after the payment screen, there was some pop-up that said that my order might not have worked and to check my download list. I did, and it's under my download queue as "Pre-order Payment failed", but the title of the game isn't listed. But the pre-order is listed under my transaction history, I got emails from PSN confirming the wallet funds being added and the pre-order confirmation, and my paypal account has the funds being taken out, so I guess it really did work? PSN is weird and bad sometimes.

The new Pac-Man game is fun but hard as hell. Surprisingly, unlike the first one it actually has a platinum trophy.

You also can't add stuff in your library to folders without it being installed so it's not really useful for sectioning off expired betas and poo poo.

Wasn't there supposed to be an option in your library that shows stuff that is only installed?
