Game: What game are you currently playing??

and weapons hit where you are aiming at

So no bullet drop? Sniping will be a breeze.

but the recoil is alot stronger, so if you keep pressing the left mousebutton and do nothing, you'll end up looking into the sky *HOWEVER* the cone of fire is a lot smaller than it used to be in BFBC2 (even though you aim directly at the enemy bullets wouldn't hit if you kept shooting at him)

So weapons are more accurate, but the recoil will kick in much harder if you just lay it down. Correct? I went into a vid came store today with my brother because he was picking up the new Bleach game on PS3, but I couldn't see a release date for BF3 on the posters.

Last time I heard it was Oct 26th.

Insane, and yes I look around.

Ahh, tricky tricky you. Insane mode is actually easier than hardcore mode. The grubs die easier and they explode when you shoot them, you rarely have to go finish them off. Downsides: boss fights seem harder, and you don't get revived when you get downed. I finished the game on hardcore and am trying insane now. I'm not looking forward to the final boss fight on insane mode, but so far the game has been a lot easier than in hardcore mode.

The game doesn't have the feel that 2 had. 2 had that desperate, humanity's-last-hope kind of feel to it, and that made the game more exciting. I guess knowing 3 was the last in the trilogy, you were bound to save humanity, so that took away from the story for me.

Finished LA Noire yesterday. I just need 2 more trophies for Platinum.

I'll continue with either Yakuza 4 or Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga 2 next. Just bought Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Disgaea 4 and White Knight Chronicles 2 recently.

Started Persona 2 as well.

[Buffalobiian]

Played some Bleach: Soul Resurrection on PS3. Story mode was short with only 14 or so "episodes" which spans pretty much from Grimjaw's fight (Episode 2) to Final Tetsugasomething (Episode 14). I'll stick with the game's terminology of using "episodes" for story chapters while "missions" were used to describe challenge-mode missions.

I didn't like the low density of enemies such that I had to run around to hit them, and also have a fair amount of attacks go wasted because I couldn't hit many others with splash damage.

Fun, but short game, and I wonder if I would have paid $60+ dollars for it. But it's my brother's so that's not my problem :P.

Now I actually feel like reading the manga again from where I left off, though I'm just as bound to put it down again if it doesn't genuinely entertain me once this hype wears off.

Did you catch what I was talking about earlier about Phelps?

And I finished the first playthrough with Momohime in Muramasa on Wednesday and I burned through the first playthrough with Kisuke yesterday. It's a very addicting game.

EDIT: Muramasa is done. I got all 3 endings for both characters on Muso mode. I would highly recommend this game.

Tricky? What? Are you implying I didn't go through hardcore first?
I finished hardcore in about 2 runs; didn't experience any of the issues you had.

How many collectibles did you find? If you had spent any appreciable amount of time looking for them, you would have experienced all that and more.

[darkshadow]

Why are you making these silly assumptions? I found about 75%, since it's goddamn easy to find them.

See now I know you're lying. There's no way you found that many and didn't get passed up by your squadmates (unless other human players were controlling them in co-op mode). If you diverted at all from the main path (which is necessary to find most of the collectibles), then you would have experienced your squadmates running past you and engaging enemies without you, which you claimed not to have experienced at all. Total bs.

[darkshadow]

Diverting from the main path? You are acting if it's some kind of rpg with a huge world; unless you weren't paying attention, gears is a super linear game. There is always some kind of super obvious nook sidepath or a big red gears skull showing where the collectables are. Also yeah sure they sometimes ran forward a bit.....in the events I put down my controller to do something else.. and even then they never triggered any enemy spawns just like how they are unable to trigger checkpoints.
Play better, you just suck as a gamer.

Unfortunately, I fear you are underestimating darkshadow's gaming prowess.

Having played with him at least once over XBL, and been subjected to countless hours of him describing how effortless Bayonetta is while we struggle to even complete the Alfheims, I have come to the conclusion that DS is the idiot-savant of gaming. He's seriously the European Jimmy Woods (The Wizard).

If DS says it was easy, he means it.

I did. I don't understand why they did that. I'm not bothered by the ending per se, but by what happened on the last few chapters. Kelso is cool though.

I had considered that possibility. The level of control and ability I've seen with some kids on X360 is freakish and a little scary. No doubt DS is all that on the X360 (or any system) but I think some of what I'm describing is built into the gameplay (poor coding, or rigidity of the game design). True, I don't know all the tell-tale signs he mentioned, but I still think Gears has problems that they didn't work out even after 3 tries.

[Animeniax]

For BF3, is the beta only the one map? And do you have to pre-order to join the beta? On EA's website, it says it's open to everyone but it's only one map.

I just pre-ordered the limited edition from Newegg, they had a $12 off coupon. I should receive the game by the afternoon of the day I finish an exam, so perfect timing.

[Ryllharu]

Unfortunately. One map only, infantry only. I've stopped playing the beta for the meantime. Without vehicles, it's just not Battlefield.

DICE announced it would only be the Metro map on their BattleBlog some time ago, so it's not much of a surprise. The disappointment was that they didn't include *any* vehicles.

FIFA 12 on PS3 Got it the other day and im loving it!

[fahoumh]

I did. I don't understand why they did that. I'm not bothered by the ending per se, but by what happened on the last few chapters. Kelso is cool though.

It seemed a little random. There was no lead up; it sort of just happened. And yeah, Kelso is pretty cool.
