is vanquish better on ps3 or 360?

[soup 105]

I like the PS3 version because the triggers for boosting around is better than the bumpers IMO. Can always DL the demos though It really boils down to controller preference. Bumpers for slide/reload or triggers.

Ps3

cleo have you ever played a yakuza game before? if you liked binary domain's story and characters then you should definitely give one a try. in regards to vanquish, ill probably be picking it up soon since its pretty cheap now.

I played the Japanese demo for 3? or 4? Not sure at this point. I'll have to consider them, do they need to be played in a specific order?

About 10 hours into Tales of Graces F. One of the most exciting combat systems I have ever experienced in an RPG. Why in the hell didn't they localize this game over a year ago? What were they thinking?

sort of, you'll definitely miss stuff if you don't. i don't remember if 4 had the same thing, but 3 came with recaps that basically summed up the entire story of the first 2 games.

Question about The Journey

Spoiler

How do you earn the trophy where the same player plays with you throughout most of the game? I had 8 random people join my game throughout my first playthrough. Do you simply have to get lucky?

as long as youve completed a full playthrough:

start up the snow level, wait for a partner, finish the game, youll get it.

the game bombed pretty hard so i wouldn't expect a sequel.

so did Shadows of the Damned, but somehow they're considering a sequel, so you never know

i always wanted to play the yakuza games.

still chiping away at mass effect, regarding me3 squadmates

is it just me or is it a bit underwhelming, I was expecting the return of favorites like Garrus and Tali, but there is really no one else that interesting, Vega is a joke and the prothean looks ok. I miss Thane ;(

[Guest Golem]

Yeah the squad was pretty lame, it's a tough act to follow after the awesome diversity of 2. I actually didn't pick up Ashley, so I only had 6 with Javik. Javik's cool, but what an asshole.

[soup 105]

To be fair, the only actual plot in ME2 was the squadmates and their stories.

People say this as some complaint, but whatever the stories were great, and the game played out more like a serial.

[hOld Th3 pIcKle 22]

To be fair, the only actual plot in ME2 was the squadmates and their stories.

I am not asking for a full fledge story for each squadmate, I just find Vega, EDI, Ashley dull.

in ME2 I ended up using the most thane, garrus and samara, hell even Jack

Playing dat Arkham City again feels good to come back to gotham

Finally got 1000/1000 on SSX. Says a lot about the game when there's still 40+ drops I haven't even seen, I'll probably take a break from the game for awhile before I get gold in those events though. I've dumped probably 50-60 hours in to the game and enjoyed the majority of it, but becoming familiar with the mechanics has just led to disappointment in 'Trick It' events, which use to be my favourite events. This pic pretty much sums it up:

The duplicate trick system isn't punishing enough when you can switch between two tricks for full points for the entirety of the run.

Race events are still a lot of fun, and I've really come around on some of the survival events. Not wanting to play every track as a trick high score event has really allowed me to enjoy the variety the game has to offer.
