lost planet rules. wish someone told me this weird early 360 capcom third person shooter, was an homage to all the mecha anime the devs were into in disguise as a game made to appeal to the west

After many years of not knowing anything about Doshin the Giant, I watched a speedrun of it. As far as I can tell it's a game about flattening ground so villagers can build you a monument, and then destroying the monument to make room for another one, until eventually they build the Tower of Babel and God gets pissed.

I played through LP2 with some friends a year or so ago. My take is that if I played it back on the 360 it would've felt like the best game ever made. Now tho it's pretty good, but not really super amazing or anything.

I played through it once with friends and didn't really want to touch it again and also the much vaunted train level was super buggy

I bought them all because they were on sale for Xbox for like $15 altogether. Anyway I only ever played the demo at Walmart so I have no idea if they're good or just good compared to other 360 jank of the time.

lost planet 1 is jank but, it is jank in a way that is unique from almost any other third person shooter of its era and even plenty of stuff from other gens and the core shooting feels really good, the akrid are a great set of enemies and no other third person shooter really captures the scale lost planet 1 does with its level design and the bigger akrid. the story is a bit awkward and goofy but when you realize it's basically just the devs homaging a bunch of mecha anime it rules and the voice acting is goofy in a way that makes the performances fairly entertaining without being downright obnoxious

honestly think it is a fairly underrated game and furthering my belief that a lot of western views about that era of jp gaming being in some kind of decline, were entirely biased and mistaken cause there are so many cool games to dig up on the ps3 and 360

weirdly what i remember most about lp1 is that the pc port was legit good for the time and a welcome change from the dogshit sourcenext ports that capcom had shat out in recent years (re4, dmc3se, onimusha 3)

mt framework was a real good step for them

it's, mildly jank in some ways and there's a weird issue where you need to set an nvidia preset to limit its framerate to 60 or cutscenes break but it's an old pc port that properly scales in resolution and supports mouse with no major performance issues so that's nice

kt ports are insane cause their big games will run, acceptably, but their old atelier ports are almost just fundamentally broken and they region lock random stuff sometimes for no reason

i love the pw3 port that is stuck with vita graphics no matter what settings you pick, and the sw4 port that has ps4 models but ps3 everything else, extremely good poo poo

though the old wo1 port was actually pretty fine as far as i remember

i need kt games on Xbox lol. Stranger of Paradise is cool but it's not Nioh and my PC runs Nioh 2 worse than my PS4, which I don't have anymore. Maybe I'll get a PS4 pro with my stimmy literally just for Nioh and Bloodborne lol.
