jehurey 3,241 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Rented and played thru Dead Space 2 this past weekend. I liked the first few hours because they immediately started throwing you into the Unitology stuff, hoping that I would get some questions answered rather quickly. Instead that story thread just flew out the window and it become a series of "Isaac you have to turn this on, Isaac you have to go fix this." It got a little boring in the middle, and then near the end they make the same mistake that they make in the God of War games. They just start sending out a fucking parade of all enemy types in obvious killing room areas. Since I just wanted to see the story end, I switch the difficulty from Hardcore to Casual from late Chapter 11 onwards and just ran thru to the end. The other mistake with the game is that they imply Isaac Clarke is "special" in the whole context of the story. I would of like it if he was just caught up in this entire event kind of like a John McClane in the Die Hard movies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
User Name 21 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'm finally taking a vacation so I'm gonna stop smoking tomorrow and clean out my system. I was in Best Buy just now, was taking MvC3 up to the registers to buy it, and then thought, "If I play this online, the adrenaline will start and I'll smoke." So I put it back and bought Kirby's Epic Yarn instead. I figure this is one time where not being able to die will be a good thing cuz it makes the game so mellow.

soup 105 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Started playing Donkey Kong and it's got this real great vibe to it and I'm digging what I played. Sadly, I probably won't finish it because the waggle = Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, I probably won't finish it because the waggle = Bothered me quite a bit at first too, once you distinguish what's needed to roll vs ground pound it won't be a huge issue. Game gets tough around world 4, diabolical around world 7. The "K" stages in each world (unlocked by getting KONG in every respective stage) are fucking hard from the start.

jehurey 3,241 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Started playing Nier. I don't know what to say just yet, only played for a couple of hours. However, I have not played many of these types of japanese rpgs and I was fairly forgiving of FF13, so I will probably have a better experience than most. Game has very good music, I must say. the opening voiceover was very, VERY good. Its actually some of the most realistic expletives voiced in a video game, without sounding stupid and contrived like a Rockstar game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it really that good? Its sounds like background music from JRPGs from the SNES days, except that they are performed by either a.) a very classy group of classical guitars and brass instruments, or b.) male orchestra that has an echo because it specifically takes place in a large shrine so it has a good effect. The music for the large overworld portions seem to used synthesized music, but its a good tune either way. Short 1 to 2 minute tunes that loop over, they do a pretty good job of not sounding annoying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MNDWSH 2 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Nier has a great OST but not enough content for the length of the game IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
