User Name 21 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Played Bit.Trip Runner last night. Reviewers said there's nothing else like it, but they're wrong. It plays exactly like the on-rails vehicle stages in classic platformers like Battletoads, which were always my least favorite levels. It's hard too, but you instantly restart a level when you die, so it's not as punative. The music's great, but the graphics are uneven. Most of it has a slick look, but some of the enemies and obstacles look slapdash. My eyes also have a hard time distinguishing between the player's avatar and the background (too much computer work has killed my eyes), because the avatar is black and the game likes to use a lot of effects that exploding across the the screen. Overall a waste of $10 pretty much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hOld Th3 pIcKle 22 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 RDR is pretty awesome, unlike most open "world" games this one actually feels like one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,308 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I didn't rent anything for most of the past 30 days, and my BB game rental coupons were going to expire. so I rented Splinter Cell conviction, and I got to rent something else today. I simply could not give a lesser shit about Conviction, its not even Splinter Cell gameplay anymore, and I have little incentive to play the stealth as perfect as possible. In previous SC games, you could tell the scripting pattern of the enemy patrol and I felt good when I played it as perfect as possible. I don't think the enemy A.I. has any discernible pattern in this game. I don't even care to pick up bodies and hide them (I don't know if the game allows you do pick up bodies, I never saw a button prompt). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

soup 105 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 SC:C was awful. I got sick of by halfway (so 2 hours in). I heard the Coop was MUCH better but fuk dat bitch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,308 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 it's splinter cell for idiots. i don't even want to explore the levels, I don't give a damn about the enemies finding the dead bodies or noise, the meter onscreen tell me how far until my next checkpoint, and I just walk in that direction as directly as possible. Finish this game quick and return it back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-SK4- 5 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 The coop should have been the SP but the last few hours of the SP owned IMO especially that carnival level. Anywho, playing RDR right now, game owns hard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sick Cinema 20 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I thought SCC was pretty awesome. Love the fast paced stealth/action. I prefer the new way it currently is, only with some tweaks to perfect it such as: - Needs more don't "don't alert anyone" set pieces. SCC only had ONE short senario like that which lasted about 5-10 minutes - Love the idea of buying/upgrading weapons. The game just shouldn't give you too many points each time you hit an achievement, or alteast make the cost of buying/upgrading higher than what it already is. - Pistol with limited ammunition and reduced Rate of Fire. The pistols in SCC were like automatic weapons, but with smaller clips - Ability to move bodies - Don't make close-quarters attacks as easy as a click of a button. I'd prefer if a *little* QTE or button-sequence event was employed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JonB 150 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I liked SCC too outside of the voice acting which made me cringe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-SK4- 5 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 i spent so many hours just fucking around in the world. lmao there was this one dude stranded out in the open and asked for my help then he punches me out and steals my horse I love this game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bodycount 33 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 played 2 hours of Alan Wake an 30 mins of RDR Alan Wake is certainly the more impressive game visually, and the story is amazing. I can't wait to play more, but now I must study for an exam and finish a 1500 word essay. -RDR looks bland as fuck. the Horse controls are quite terrible as well. Gotta get furthe rin. Wake, my god better looking than UC2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
