Well...thanks. I don't know if I'm more shocked that someone on here said something nice about me, or that it was you who said it.

You're still an asshole. <3

*Brodie* · 06-10-2009, 08:57 PM

I second that motion.

*raphael_is_cool* · 06-11-2009, 05:12 PM

Prototype on 360.

It has been pretty fun so far. The only thing I'm finding tricky is because I'm so used to third-person-shooters the controls when you're using a gun seem counter-intuitive.

Peanut · 06-11-2009, 05:21 PM

How do they work then? Is it some kind of lock-on system?

Yo, I don't care how many times we've quarreled about whatever. If you know your s***, you know your s***.

There is a lock-on system, even for melee, done with the left trigger. But what I mean is there was a section where I had to use a rocket launcher on specific targets while avoiding being hit by really tough enemies (and it's easy to get trapped and gang-raped by them). The only thing is, playing on 360, the fire button is X (not a problem) but couple that with right trigger being the evasive combat rolls (whereas I'm used to it being B) and the B button actually being to drop/pick-up objects/people/weapons.

It probably doesn't help that I'm stupid but I spent far too long running around grabbing a weapon then dodging a guy (they just keep coming!), trying to fire my weapon at the specific target while dodging another guy but instead instinctively pressing the wrong button and dropping it while receiving a powerful wallop to the face. Then I had to try and avoid the guys while finding another rocket launcher to pick up...which isn't easy when the floor is littered with all manner of machineguns also.

*Cure* · 06-12-2009, 07:12 AM

Yeah, using any button besides the right trigger to fire a weapon sounds like it can get confusing. It's like when Peanut told me that the gas and brake for the vehicles in Mercs 2 were on the face buttons.

I just got through that section and know exactly what you mean.

I picked the easiest difficulty setting and still got my ass handed to me several times.

Hehe. I'm on normal. I didn't actually die on that bit, funnily enough. There was always someone to consume when I needed it.

Archon_Turtle · 06-12-2009, 03:31 PM

It seems like Infamous and Prototype are too similar for me to want to play both, and I already went through infamous. Plus, the visuals in Prototype seem pretty dated imo.

poiuytre · 06-12-2009, 04:35 PM

I'm enjoying Prototype a lot more, but yeah, the game isn't exactly a looker.

They are actually very different games. The only comparisons gameplay-wise would be the tags 'action' and 'sandbox'.

I'd take less impressive visuals over enjoyable gameplay and it has been pretty damn good so far. Whether that wears thin remains to be seen.

Im playing PES 2008. Trying to get my created players to join my master league team. Got so far mario, luigi, splinter and shredder to join.

*Spitfire* · 06-15-2009, 04:20 AM

I bought God of War...20 bucks...I'll be buying the sequel once I finish it. I might even get the PSP one. I like it so far. Using the right stick to dodge is still new to me but it's more effective then having to play around with the camera while fighting. It was annoying at first but once I got used to it I can't see myself going back. Needs more weapons though. So far I only have two, and one I just got. I'm assuming the sequel has more, if not though not a big deal. The combos keep it interesting enough.

*raphael_is_cool* · 06-15-2009, 04:34 AM

I think God of War 1 only had two weapons. And the alternative one was pretty useless. I can't remember a situation where it served me better.

*Duke* · 06-15-2009, 01:26 PM

I just picked up Left 4 Dead on sale for $37 at Target. I figured better late than never.

*Ninjinister* · 06-15-2009, 07:59 PM

SoulCalibur IV on 360 and Power Rangers Super Legends on PS2.

*Brodie* · 06-15-2009, 09:16 PM

Super Legends is an awesome game.

Anyone else picking up Ghostbusters?

I'm picking it up at midnight.
