Anybody played Devil May Cry HD collection? Only $9 on PS+. Also they got MGS HD Collection which is 2,3,and Peace Walker for $11. Even if you're not PS+ the sales are good. Plus Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Zone of Enders HD Collection, and Metal Gear Revengeance.

 

Some nice prices.

 

Just curious how the DMC trilogy is. Oh and Yum, Amazon still hasn't shipped my MGS Legacy. But the site still shows available. Hurry up

 

LOL, well, I do have all the MGS games in one form or another...so, spending some money to get a prettier version probably is not necessary.



DMC isn't bad. It's entertaining but not really in my Top 10 per se. Still, it's a solid series...good action even if the storyline is borderline at times.

 

I thought DS was hard as hell when I first tried. I watched a video on how to beat it then it was insanely easy. My fault. I should have thought about who Deathstroke was and realized he would counter everything and the only way to beat him was to stay defensive. I love that about the game. Its challenging until you nerd out and think about the enemies real weakness.

Currently finishing up Skyrim again. On Master difficulty, almost ready for Legendary.

 

Who did you think was harder? DS or Bane?

 

So you have the original Japanese Metal Gear 1 and 2 games? And yeah I never played Peace Walker so I was a little lost in the story but I did read the story catch up section.

 

Oh. No. Not those...but I've played them on a friend's console growing up. Same friend also had the PC Engine and Neo Geo.

 

I had a buddy like that with all the consoles. Had a Neo Geo also. We played Samurai Showdown 1 and 2 for hours.

 

And Fatal Fury and Metal Slug.

We also enjoyed Sengoku.

 

Fatal Fury 1 I never got into. Fatal Fury 2 was insane and I used to play that in the arcade a lot. I had a little arcade 15 mins by foot by my house. Street Fighter 2 series, Mortal Kombat series, Fatal Fury 2. This guy had it all and we always had regulars. Plus I had a job at a mom and pop video store with a Neo Geo machine with Samurai 1 and Ninja Commando. All night I'd hear Ninja....COMMANDOOOOOO.

 

Going to pick up Mass Effect 2 when I get off work.

Watched Serenity with a friend last night and all I could think were Reapers. LOL

Ive played the first game once, the second twice, and the third once.
I find the original is too old school to go back on. But 2 is great. I have the interactive comic saved on one of my hard drives so Ill go through 1 with that then play 2 which is only going for 5 bucks right now.
Then probably gamefly 3 or just pick it up used around 10-15$

 

Mass Effect is one of my favorite fictional universes ever. I kinda miss the ME3 multiplayer



<==== had this avatar for a bit now

 

Gonna be playing Saints Row The Third soon. Never played any of the Saint's Row games before.

 

I've been playing GTA O for as long as I can, because I know as soon as I take it out I'll never play it again.

SC: Blacklist just came yesterday, so that might end soon. NSMBU is pretty fun.

 

Ah memories...Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat.


But, yeah, I was a big-time sucker for any fighter games back then that I could easily apply SF-movements to and well, Fatal Fury and the KoF games were an easy transition.

Mortal Kombat was also cool because of the Fatality feature but I eventually still deviated back to the Japanese-fighting games because, I just felt they were more polished.

 

Yes SF2 shaped my fighting style till this day. My friend's 16 year old nephew was whooping up on everyone at Injustice: Gods Among Us. So I tried it out and I guess he didn't think I knew how to play any fighting games and I crushed him. To this day he vows revenge

BTW Yum, you'll be sad to know I haven't started the Metal Gear games yet (some for the 12345234th time). When I've had a chance to game, I've been knocking out levels for my kids in Lego Batman 2. Game is cool but I literally have dozed off in certain parts of the game.

 

Yeah, the techniques/moves I learned in SF2 really translated well to loving the Guilty Gear series too. Just such a deep fighting game.

SF3 was also terrific and ate up a chunk of my quarters in my younger days. Was so happy to get it on the Dreamcast later on in life.



I'll say this though...the 2342341334 hit combos of the newer fighters has become a harder adjustment for me. While I'm still not bad with them, against a seasoned pro in these newer games has made me feel...old. I often get my @$$ handed to me as some of the combos I was accustom to do not really apply anymore...

Much newer techniques needed...and very hard to break the old habits IMO. And I just don't have the hours anymore to practice and learn.



LOL, I have not powered up the PS4 in weeks. I still need to finish the side missions in Ground Zeroes.

 

I finished the side missions but I gotta find XOF cards to do the bonus ones. I'll get back to that later. The play control of the game is mesmerizing and fun. Can't wait for Phantom Pain.

 

Yeah, where's that damn release date announcement?!?!?

 

Original Metal Gear that we didn't get here is way harder than the American version. The soldiers seem smarter. The buildings more complicated. There are jet packed soldiers that fly around and are super hard to hit. The hand gun has a short range. The machine gun still sucks. Even the dogs wake up as soon as you get in the screen. Plus random enemies appear out of nowhere. Very intense game.

 

I really wish MGS was included on that HD port awhile back. I have the original PS version, but I was hoping to consolidate the collection.

 

Yeah Legacy gives you the code to d/l the PS1 version off the PSN for free. But nothing beats the Gamecube port.

 

Damn, I only have the HD edition.

 

Might as well get it separate. Legacy is sold out in Amazon and everywhere else. Well at least for retail price. Legacy is basically HD Collection but repackaged. When the game initially loads it says HD Collection.

 

OK, actually looked at the description. Between my PS MGS, that, and my MGS 4 SE I've got all the games.

 

^Yeah I learned that MGS3 Subsistence has the Japanese versions of the original 1 and 2. I beat 2 over the weekend. WAYYYY better and different from Snake's Revenge. You actually had radar and could knock on walls to distract the guards. It's a nice bridge from MG1 to MGS1. Really cool bosses and a very detailed story considering it was released in 1990. Well ahead of its time. Plus the fights vs Gray Fox and Big Boss were different. Now MGS 1 is next even though I've beaten it a million times. Will be cool to see Liquid again.

 

Probably going to pick up Watch Dogs later this week and start playing that. Although, again, I really should get going with finishing up the side missions on MGS.


Darned playoff games on TV taking up all my time.

 

Hearthstone on the iPad, woot woot. Not being productive at work today!

 

Heard Watch Dogs was buggy. Maybe wait for a patch

 

Doh. Yeah, in no rush...lots of sports on the tube to watch these days anyhow.

 

I'll wait till sometime next year to get Watch Dogs.

Still need to play Black Flag, BF4 (though that might never happen and with a new BF already leaked), and then come September, it is Destiny time!

 

review of Watch Dogs on reddit :

 

Yeah I read the same thing about driving. I guess you drive a lot. BTW its $50 at Costco for One and PS4.

 

As with all Ubisoft games, wait 2 weeks and it'll be $20 less.

 

Watch dogs is not what I expected.

It is a lot like GTA in the sense of a big open city world with a variety of cars to steal with some added hacking features. Feels more like the Sleeping Dogs world because GTA felt more free to do what you wanted.

My issues with the hour I played...
Driving isnt bad. Not as bad as I keep reading in reviews. The choices you make while driving have heavier consequences. Like in GTA you could mash through some gates and a few peds and no big deal. Here you slow down significantly and killing civilians is recorded negatively.

The faster cars are easier to control but man are they ugly. The car designs feel like a cross between GTA and Saints Row... Saints being very poor and GTA being pretty good.

Tutorials are very easy to ignore... which has left me wondering without having a full understanding of what to do.

Basically, I am currently playing Mass Effect 2 for my 3rd time with ME3 waiting for my second time and that is holding my interest far more than Watch Dogs. Sad because I forked the money out believing the hype.



The game as a whole feels like Deus Ex meets Assassins Creed in modern Desmond Miles era (bugs and choppiness included).

 

Taking night off from the gym. If my gf doesn't come over it's time to fire up Metal Gear Solid for my Metal Gear Legacy voyage. Certainly not as short as the original MG 1 and 2.

 

Mario Kart 8. Flipping awesome.

 

Added Uncharted Collection to my queue last night. The 3 games were $10 on Gamestop's site but sold out. Good thing I checked last night.

I tried to buy that last night but my PUR wouldn't go through. May try to nab it in-store today. Have the first, and third via PS+, but it might be decent trade fodder.
