gunnar hendershow Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'm glad I'm not the only still popping in LA Noire from time-to-time. I'm almost done finding all the vehicles. Platinum is so close I can taste it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Heavy Rain was amazing but like the developers and people on here said you should only play it once. In life we dont get 2nd chances. Unless you're a trophy whore, like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I did consider going back through Heavy Rain to get more trophies. Platinum didn't look that challenging. Hell it's been 2 years since I played it, might as well pick it up again to do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mask of Norro Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I must be the only one here who just couldn't get into Red Dead. I honestly don't know why, the concept was appealing and everything, but the gameplay wasn't my cup of tea. I'll have to give it another try down the road because I want to like it, but it just... it felt too clunky to me. The story didn't catch my interest either though, to be fair, I'm sure had I held out longer with the game it'd probably pick up for me, but yeah. Just couldn't get into it because of the gameplay.

gunnar hendershow Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I do remember taking some breaks from RDR while I started off playing it. After I got about 1/3 of the way through the game I couldn't put it down though. You're not the first person who had a difficult time getting into the game, and eventually giving up on it, because of the rather slow start and at times weak story. It all picks up, think of it like reading a book. The first 10 hours you invest in it are worth the next 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) You say that but I got bored once I started doing things in Mexico. Surely it should have picked up by then? By that point everything started to feel like I was doing it for the 1000th time and the story started to seem like it was getting convuluted.

ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 In RDR I did what most people seem to do and stopped in Mexico. Then I went back later and forced myself through and enjoyed it more again, then got to the big town (which I'm guessing was near the end) which gave a nice feel because it really made you feel like an outsider walking through the streets. Then I got annoyed that the game still continued and I decided that there was no point carrying on purely to finish the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lusophone Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Is there any actual link in story between Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption or do they just share the shame series name? Never played the latter and whenever people talk about it all I hear about is zombies or some such thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Red Dead Redemption is more or less a spiritual sequel to Red Dead Revolver. They share a similar setting, but I'm almost certain the stories aren't linked, except maybe for an Easter egg here and there that I'm unaware of. As for the zombies, that would be the add-on pack, Undead Nightmare, for Red Dead Redemption. That's a separate adventure with the same characters as Red Dead Redemption, but with a slightly different style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lusophone Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ahhh. Thanks. Might have to pick Red Dead Redemption at some point now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Drags Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 They missed a trick with that expansion. We still exclusively refer to it as Undead Redemption at our place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Unsurprisingly, judging by the video, the official Olympics game will be a disappointment as usual. Sure sure, add in more and more events (looks like a new cycling event is there which is nice - keirin I think) BUT really a good Olympics game should have.... Heats as well as finals. Events that have more than just one athlete from a country competing in it. A better "calendar" of events, especially for the track and field events, allowing you to play through a week or so. Some cooler RPG elements. Athlete development or training. But of course it'll sell just by saying SEVENTY NINE EVENTS AND LOTS OF COUNTRIES! OH AND OFFICIAL!

Herr Matzat Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Journey is very nice. Taking a break now to watch the iPad announcement. But it feels amazing... maybe a bit like the Team ico games, but that only compares due to a lack of better words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cactus Drags Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I quite enjoyed the Beijing and Vancouver games. They're pretty good, if a little bare bones. As Hammy said, it'd be nice to have a full-blown sports-RPG type thing. Perhaps where you have to qualify for the big tournaments, and choose which meets to do so you don't use too much energy up or whathaveyou.
