Same goes for using a wheel. I couldn't pass the bronze time on any of the tracks until they patched it so the time required was increased to make it easier, and even then it wasn't easy. Second most impossible challenge I've faced in a game, the first being the hard trials on Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV.
A wheel isn't too bad - a mate of mine got silver after about 12 tries, missing out on gold by half a second. So it's probably just a real bastard to do rather than one of those nightmarishly almost impossible challenges.
I almost fell of my chair when I saw you playing on your xbox last night. I think I added you a couple of years ago but never saw you playing on it.
Yeah, I've not played it properly for a while - Guardian Heroes has got me back. I'd probably be into Gears by now but my 360 resides on the 1 non-HD telly we've got and I can't be arsed to move back upstairs.
FFXIII is starting to really annoy me now. Disk snapping annoying. I have spent weeks farming and finishing off end game and twice today I upgraded all the weapons but I still did not get the trophy. I am going to have to farm more money and get and keep all tier 1 and tier 2 weapons and accessories in my inventory and then if still no trophy then I must have missed or sold something and i'll be locked out of the platinum! Bah!
MONSLY! I had a quick look in the loft and found ((b) boxes, (manual)) Brian Lara (B + M) Worms (B + M) Sonic 1 (B + M) (Box damaged) Castle of Illusion (B + M) Hockey 93 (B + M) Mortal Kombat Fifa 96 Jungle Strike Last Battle Street Fighter II - Special Champion Edition 6in1 - Sega Soccer, Columns, Super Monaco GP, Revenge of Shinobi, Sonic 1, Streets of Rage 6in1 - World Cup Italia 90, Super Hangon, Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi, Columns, Golden Axe 4in1 - Quckshot, Kabuki, Bare Knuckle (SoR), Runark 3in1 - Super Monaco GP, Alien Storm, Super Thunder Black. Nothing overly special, must have gotten rid of all the good games but if there is anything you need for your collection let me know.
Cool, I'll have a look at my collection and then let you know - I've got some odd missing gaps, no idea what happened with some of them.
What games are folks here going to be getting soon? Lots of big titles coming out and I'm probably going to prioritise multiplayer stuff and leave the rest for Xmas. I'm definitely looking at Uncharted myself - what's the date for that?
I'm getting Uncharted 3 and Battlefield 3 for sure. I'd be up for some Gears 3 co-op after I finish a project I'm working on and have more time open.
I'm just waiting for Dark Souls to drop in price a bit. I've never been much of an Elder Scrolls gamer. I might check out the KOTOR mmo... but maybe not till February...
It's well worth buying. It appears that Dark Souls is going to easily be my pick for GotY, which I guess isn't surprising given how much I was into Demon's Souls. The game world of Dark Souls is incredible. The entire world of Dark Souls is as interconnected as the four segments of World 1 in Demon's Souls. Initially, it feels rather segmented, but once you unlock shortcuts, doorways, elevators, ect., the world becomes far more open and free to roam than in Demon's Souls. In this regard, Dark Souls has substantially improved over Demon's Souls. The combat and balance do not match Demon's Souls, but they tower above what you find in most action/RPG games. Of course it's frustrated me at times given how tough it can be, but the atmosphere and sense of accomplishment you feel for overcoming obstacles are second to none. FROM has really raised the bar for action/RPGs with their Souls games.
I have to agree with what AKS is saying, the game is fantastic and it is pretty damn big too. I have put 20+ hours into this already and still don't feel as if I have scratched the surface as I am still not even finished with Sens Fortress and I know there is a lot more after it. Fantastic value for money here as you get a great game that is both a challenge and long. I am not sure what my next game will be, with Christmas fast approaching money will tighten up a little and I need to leave some games for people to buy as presents for me.
Then you'd best decide quick, young grim. Think I'll go for U3 for sure and either BF3 or MW3. Lots of 3s to choose from.
On the whole I think it's been a really good year for games in terms what's been/about to be released.
Got some money coming in on Monday so after paying some bills I think I might get some new games. PES 2012 is a definite, but I also have a choice of the Ico boxset or Dark Souls. Choices choices, or I might just get PES and finish off my other games such as RE4 HD and Batman: AA.
