dc20willsave Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hannah, of all those games, the one I would most recommend is Bioshock. Any game that can somehow include philiophical movements as major parts of the story is a good game in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 You can probably find Bayonetta for cheap as well, so if you enjoy the demo, it shouldn't be hard to find. Catherine is supposedly incredibly fucked up, so I'd be interested in what you think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Most of the titles Hannah listed are pretty easy to get find for 19.99. I at least know Bioshock is as is Bioshock 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Well, maybe you should change that and play Bioshock. Who doesn't love a game about Objectivism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Well, maybe you should change that and play Bioshock. Who doesn't love a game about Objectivism? I tried to get into Bioshock when it first came out, but I just couldn't, I don't know what it was, but I reached a certain point, then lost interest in it.

Chops Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I've been playing the Twisted Metal demo, and I got to say, it's a lot of fun. The levels are huge, took a couple of plays before I drove the whole map. I'm dissapointed to hear from previews that one player mode won't have much in the way of a story. The one player level on the demo, to me atleast, is pretty difficult. It's basically you against 8 enemies. The enemies don't shot each other, only you. So basically you have to keep moving and just take pop shots when you can, if you stop too long to focus on one guy, next thing you know you're getting hit my 4 specials at once. I guess that's my only complaint, as the online mode is a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Played through FFXIII-2 so far, starting Catherine. FFXIII-2, while the monster allies are interesting, the paradigm system still isn't as good as it could be, and the "cinematic events" are just dumb. Catherine, meanwhile, is really intriguing. Where I'm at in the demo, went through a puzzle on Easy, and now I'm playing through some time in the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chops Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 The servers for Twisted Metal suck, it takes way too many tries to get in a game. For a game that was built around online multiplayer with the one player made being an afterthought, this is horrible. Hopefully it's fixed before the game is released.

Venneh Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 El Shaddai is... interesting. It's very pretty, and the fighting mechanics are pretty solid, but the way the art is rendered you can't judge distance/depth accurately, and thus you'll be spending a lot of time accidentally dropping into holes when you thought you would be able to make it on a double jump. It's cheap enough that it might be justifiable. Bayonetta, meanwhile, is WEIRD. One of the special attacks I did had the heroine getting nude and her hair turning into a sentient dragon that killed the heaven creature. Yeah. It's interesting, but it was pretty fun. Definitely thinking of picking it up. So, so far, this is how everything's panning out: Need to get: Catherine Bayonetta Maybe? El Shaddai NO: FFXIII-2 To play: Bastion Portal: Still Alive Bioshock Arkham Asylum Scott Pilgrim the Game As soon as I go through these, I'll add some of your demos to the list, Dubs.

James D. Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 SoulCalibur V is the exact same game as SC4 and SC3, only with better sound editing and graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Worth it, if I don't have one from the new gen? Or wait for the price to go down on it a bit? Cause it looks pretty, and the last one I played was SC3 on the PS2 however many years ago now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Definitely wait for it to go down in price. I doubt that will take long. Personally, I find the game pretty boring, because to me, it's like, "I've already played this before. A lot." The create-a-fighter feature is much better, though.

Venneh Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Attempted to start the Bioshock demo, but apparently I'm way too stressed out because the thing that appears right after the bathysphere was freaking the fuck out of me. Going to try it on the weekend in, y'know, full daylight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Further demo thoughts: Arkham Asylum: took me a few runthroughs of the demo to get a good hold of the controls, but seems like it'll be fun in the long run. Not going to be high priority right now, I don't think, but will definitely buy it at some point in the future. Bioshock: Okay, yeah, no matter what light I play in, this freaks me the fuck out. Plus, I'm not that big of a fan of shooters. Might get this if I have somone who'll be in the room with me when playing to latch onto, but otherwise, not a high priority. EDIT: Liked the demos of the three Live games I bought, but I have to figure out points prior to buying the whole thing, so they may be a while. Portal: had to try out this classic. not as dumb as I thought I would be when figuring out the puzzles, so that's good. The demo is ten levels, gives you a good sense of how things begin with the game. Definitely getting this at some point. Scott Pilgrim: fun little 8-bit game, had to figure out how the 2D space worked for it, and that was a bit of a learning curve, but definitely quite a fun experience. Need to get it as soon as I have points. Bastion: surprisingly fun little game. Not quite sure what to think of it at this point, but again, gonna get it when I get some points. So, of the demos I played, this is where I stand: Bought: Catherine Bayonetta Buy At Some Point: Arkham Asylum Portal Scott Pilgrim Bastion Maybe: El Shaddai Bioshock No: FFXIII-2 And the new round I just downloaded are: Enslaved Mirror's Edge Braid Castle Crashers Pac Man Championship Edition Beyond Good and Evil HD Beautiful Katamari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 DS games are compatible with 3DSes, right? And aren't they still not selling that well (3DSes)? Yes, they are compatible. And the 3DS is selling better, thanks to the price cut, and Mario Land, and other games actually coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 They're backwards compatible, yes, but the 3DS is actually doing very well now, better than the original DS did at this point in its lifecycle. It's really weird that they're not upgrading. The only thing that makes sense is that they wouldn't be able to use the old Pokemon DS engine (its sprites wouldn't really work all that well with a 3D screen), so they need more time before they can release a proper 3DS game. Maybe this is just something to bide time until then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I was gonna say, Black/White came out just over a year and a half ago (Sep 2010), so i'd imagine this went into development not that long after it released, if they're releasing this June already.
