This was the only night, ever so far where I got frustrated playing. Are people starting to cheat somehow or do I just suck that much? It seemed I couldn't take a step without getting killed. I was even CLOAKED and the second I walked outside I was being gunned down. I don't get how that's even possible...

The cloak is like a beacon while you're moving.  It'll flicker, which creates unnatural movement that draws the eye.  If you want to be hidden, you have to keep still.

I've never played the 360 version. DoA games always included some kind of stage hazards in the fighting too. You probably didn't have control when you were going down the stairs, or when you jumped down from ledges after knocking someone down; they were most likely quick cut scenes.



You didn't. But they're more interactive than most other fighting games.

But it's worth getting Steel - just be warned that the AI is fucking BRUTAL.

First of all thanks to Raven, Egg, and Aspro for letting me know I wasn't the only one who couldn't get into RE5. After the good reviews I honestly was wondering what was wrong with me.  Anyway I gave the game one more shot, got a little better, but still didn't like it so what did I do?

phantom_leo said:

Robio? Did you buy Bulletstorm or did you download the demo?

Yes indeed, I went out and got something COMPLETELY out of character for me. Bulletstorm.  Rented it actually, but no matter. This is probably the first FPS I have played since like Quake or GoldenEye. Generally I do not like these games. Just too repetitious for my taste. Gameplaywise that's pretty much the case here too, however I'll admit I am having fun with it. I'd almost call it MadWorld the FPS version. The dialogue is witty and vulgar as hell.... well maybe not always witty, but vulgar.  And you get extra points for pulling off stylish kills. Unlike MadWorld though you can trade those points in for weapon upgrades so there's a lot more incentive to kill creatively.

I like it a lot. It's not a game I'd purchase, but it is one I will probably play till the end. Besides I don't want to miss out on snappy dialogue like this:

Mystery Woman: "If you don't stop following me I will kill your dicks!"

Main Character: "Kill our dicks? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

Actually Dead or Alive 4 is closing in on being 5 1/2 years old. Also I think it was a 360 exclusive so there is no other versions. I mistakenly said I wanted DoA6 for consoles when actually the next DoA game would be 5 unless they count Dimensions but I kind of doubt it.

Yeah I had so much fun with Bulletstorm. Played through it twice already. Once on normal and the second on the hardest setting. I love the voice for Grayson Hunt, the main character. The guy who did the voice-over sounded perfect for the role and Jennifer Hale always does great voice work and her role in this game as Triska is no exception.

Out of curiosity how long is the main campaign? I just tracking down Triska now so I figure I'm still in the early stages of the game.

Egg, as far as my PS3 goes, I don't actually buy many games for it. There's a Blockbuster video near my house that has a $25 for unlimited game rentals and a pretty decent selection. It's just easier and cheaper to rent them and return them.

If that's actually true about Bulletstorm's main story then it's kind of scary to think that I'm already half done...

sadly i don't have many stores around me to rent and after hearing about gameflys lack of distbution centers and the insane long wait i refuse to use them

normally i just buy games used to see if i like them.

its a shame that nowdays dev cut short solo story in fps games to give a lot of muilitiplayer i miss the days when solo player was at least 10 hours and had big maps

Gamefly is not great, but if you have the two games out at a time account, you can make it work for you. Generally it takes a week for a game to get to them and then send you a new one. If you don't need a game the first two weeks that it comes out generally you can get what you want. It's not a great system, but if you play on a routine basis and generally finish one game a week or so then it's a decent enough system. Plus, as a nice feature if you like a game you're renting from them you can buy it from them, at prices comparable to Gamestop. It's a nice try before you buy system that can save you money.

There is a lot wrong with their system, so I'm proclaiming it to be great, but I do suggest trying it if you can't rent locally. If you can figure out how to make their system work for your style of gameplay (time you play, how often you beat games, etc.) you can save yourself a good bit of money.

Famitsu Review of Dead or Alive 3DS

Just as interesting in this link is the review of the PSP Final Fantasy IV: Complete Collection. I wasn't aware that they actually added a 3rd piece of the game called "Interlude" that connects the events from FFIV to The After Years. Nice to see they threw in some original content here. Shame I don't have a PSP anymore, though who knows if SE will even Westernize it. But I suppose the one thing that we can count on is that SE will ultimately port it again somewhere down the road.

I am alive again, feeling good today. On break so far it's been a fun day. I had to do the test on the doctor, she was passing out during the test. She was doing the head jerking thing when you start to dose off, so funny. Then I had some dude show up for water from some machine from japan. Told me it's like magic water that heals you. This guy was obsessed with the magic water, for a second I felt I was in an rpg with a dude selling me potions.

River City Ransom Sequel Coming

Speaking of River City Ransom, did anyone ever see this game: River City Super Sports Challenge -  http://ds.ign.com/objects/045/045965.html

We saw this at Gamepot a while back and my kiddo picked it up (at my slight recomendation). It's basically other Super Dodge Ball styled games. Kind of fun, but really easy.

I'm not sure how long Bulletstorm's campaign was but I'm pretty sure it took me more then 6 hours, I'd guess that it was closer to the 8 hour mark. It felt longer then I was expecting to be honest. There's 7 chapters in the game and each has 3 sub-chapters except for 7 which only has 2. I'd say the game's length felt decent without adding any needless padding to inflate it. The only I would have liked to see in it would have been another boss or two.
