Nick_i_am Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) On a side note, while Lost Planet coop would have been freaking awsome, it's still pretty much the best singleplayer 360 game out there due to awsome 'contra-in-3d' style action gameplay. I hadn't touched it for a little bit due to the time investment that hard requires but got a chance today and totally fell back in love with the game due to the awsome shooting/hookshot/T-eng/mech/boss mechanics. Basically, people who bitch about this game don't like oldschool action games that don't hold your hand or forgive you for being a moron. Completing this on the EXTREME difficalty setting is one of the prerequisites to being a TRUE GAMER! (getting to level 50 in KotoR2 is not). LOOK AT THAT FREAKING THING!

Krookie Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I really hated that game Nick. The game got tiring for me after the level where you kill the bug that killed your dad. It was like target practice. Go here, bugs come out of snow, shoot orange spot, repeat. The multiplayer was for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_i_am Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 If you didn't play on Hard then your opinions are moot and your face is stupid. Wait, I am sorry for being rude to you Krookie, I don't want to fight, There are plenty of people around here to fight with. Want to be friends?

Llyranor Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hehe, Lost Planet is my singleplayer 360 GOTY as well. I converted jerkface. I thought the demo was okay. It wasn't until I beat the first level boss on hard difficulty (which took me 1h30 to do, and 20-30 attempts) that things really clicked. That was just the tutorial for me. Insane boss fights (if you're not playing in wuss mode) are really the highlight of the game. Your rapidly-dropping thermal energy does make a different during the missions on hard as well. You can't really explore at a casual pace; it's more a race for survival. I feel like I was at least competent at the game when I finished it on hard, but now I'm stuck on the first level boss - again - on extreme diff.

Hurlshort Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I traded it in recently, I think I got $6 for it. Still, with Bioshock and Eternal Sonata, it helped me get ME for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I'm kind of glad neither of you have it anymore, because I AM NOT LIKING THIS GAME. Do you like Grand Theft Auto? Honestly I just enjoyed going around collecting green thingees so I could jump higher so I could collect more green thingees. It was a vicious cycle, but the therapy has been fairly successful.

LadyCrimson Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 For the shooters, when you guys say it's co-op, does that mean you play the game/plot together, as in, say, Diablo's, or is it more along the lines of frag/personal combat'. Hubby likes whimsical fast-paced arcade-like games (Frogger/space invaders), or some shooters/action-rpgs. He's not into puzzle/word/board styled games. I've heard about Worms ... didn't know it was co-op. I'll look into that one more. Another question ... how many actually rent the games before buying? Just curious. “Things are as they are.

Nick_i_am Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 huh? For coop Gears of War and Halo you just play through the single player with two people. I mean, it's a first person shooter, not a first person storybook. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyranor Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Co-op shooters: going through the story/campaign with two players. I draw a very important line between co-op and PvP. I'm not sure if Worms is 'co-op' per say. But there are teams or something, so I guess you could gang up on the AI teams. I don't rent games. I like to support the devs. I usually research the games I invest in well enough to make an informed decision. So far, it's worked fairly well. I wouldn't have in the past, but now I trade in the games that weren't worth supporting. If there's something I'm not sure I'll like, I'll trade old games for it at EB, or I'll wait till the price drops.

Sand Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Does CoD4 have Co-Op and PvP capability?

Kaftan Barlast Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 CoD4 does not have co-op, but it does have the standard multiplayer scenarios.

Morgoth Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I never got into these War Shooters, and CoD4 is no exception there either. After playing the demo, I just wondered what exactly is supposed to make it so intense? The constantly lame barks, or the ultra-stupid enemies? I felt nothing while playing it. The only War-themed Shooter I actually ever enjoyed was Operation Flashpoint. PC-only, and damn hard. I wonder if Armed Assault is recommendable? Rain makes everything better.

Krookie Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Play CoD4 on Veteran and I doubt you'll ever say it isn't intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 High difficulty does not necessarily mean it's intense. Could be annoying, but not intense by my meaning. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krookie Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 (edited) It doesn't necessarily mean intense, but in this case it does. EDIT: Also, the demo probably didn't include missions like "Ghillies in the Wind" or something, which is one of the most exciting single player levels in an FPS I've ever played. And you only kill one person the whole mission. Edited December 15, 2007 by Krookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OFP was godly, despite its flaws. However, i've heard bad things about the AA campain from Llyranor which, considering how strong the OFP (and expansion) campains were, is a bad sign. Try the demo, it even comes with a coop mission, but I can't really recomend it per-say. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
