Sabo 442 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Tried RE6 last night and played it for a bit. Some early impressions: -The first thing I notice is the controls felt really foreign. It actually took me awhile to get use to them and even then I never really got comfortable with them. Wish there was a option to have the classic controls TBH, the closest thing I saw was Type II but that's still awkward feeling to me. -Another thing that bothered me was the HUD, I turned off the little waypoint icons but I don't like how your HP/Ammo indicator doesn't stay onscreen. I get that they're trying to clear the screen to make it feel more immersive but I wish I had the option to always have the HUD displayed. I'm one of those people that likes to always have that information present. -Aiming feels really funky and makes no sense. I tried crosshair and the classic laser settings and the results were the same. The bullets tend to fly off the mark frequently and hit nowhere near where you were aiming. It makes sense for the crosshair since you can chalk it up to the bloom effect or whatever but it makes no sense for the laser sights setting. I guess they figured they had to make both settings behave the same for "balancing reasons" or else everyone would just use the laser sights but the truth is they didn't. The cross hair is much easier to aim with but the downside is your accuracy takes a hit. Laser sightings are more accurate but it's harder to aim with them. That's the balance right there, no need to have both settings perform the absolute same way, it's just retarded and there is no logical reasoning behind the current setup. -If the aiming wasn't bad enough the whole shooting situation gets worse when you factor in how absolutely weak your firearm is. Okay, granted, this is just a starting pistol so maybe the weapons get a lot stronger later but enemies right now just absorb bullets. I pretty much have resorted to playing the Campaign like it's Merc mode. I'm just meleeing everything because it is far more effective than the firearm I currently have. -Speaking of melee, all the new tweaks to it are nice. Having a lot of fun discovering all the crazy melee kill animations. -How the hell do I use herbs? I have quite a few R+G herbs on me but have no clue how to use them.

I have quite a few R+G herbs on me but have no clue how to use them. theres a skill that steadies your aim. i think its called lock on. you can combine herbs from the inventory (bring it up using Y) and then store them in your case (the number appears next to your health, to use one just press RB). which campaign did you start with? The low bullet damage can definitely be annoying, it gets better the more you play since you'll have skills like the one i mentioned above that make the combat feel better.

Sabo 442 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Well, the game started with the Leon prologue so it just seemed natural to start with his campaign. Thanks for explaining how to use herbs. :] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

REDE 66 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I bought Fahrenheit, the game is harder than I remember, and changing the difficulty doesn't seem to do much. Especially the alternating L1/R1 presses, my hands get fucking tired Also there's a lot more nudity/slaying of bitches than I remember Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mario chase is really fun if you have 4 or 5 people! DK Crash Course is fun to try to beat your old times. Once you get good at it. It's pretty hard tho. The F-zero one sucks, but other than that they are all pretty fun tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Mike 18 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 lmao i did try the f-zero one. that shit sucks balls. I'm only playing them by myself currently cause I never had a Wii, and don't ahve any wii motes or anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites

soup 105 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Put in ~10 hours into Torchlight 2 and it's safe to say I don't enjoy this game and don't think I'll finish it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Golem Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 After playing And Yet It Moves the other night, a genius platformer, I thought I'd go pick up the latest Humble Bundle, so I was playing around with some of those last night. Shank 2, Snapshot and Closure are all awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
