EE 2009: Heavy Rain Developer Session

It's a travesty that there will be an amazingly big glut of games I need to play basically coming out within 2-3 months of each other.

Off the top of my head there's God of War 3, Red Dead Redemption, Heavy Rain and I know there are 3-4 more I am flat out forgetting about.

If you ever heard of or played the game Fate a few years back this is by the same guys, and I know several people on the team were designers or otherwise involved with both Diablo games.

Only 3 classes which I a bit disappointing but it looks like there is a pretty wide variety of possible builds so hopefully that isn't an issue.

If you liked Diablo or Titan Quest definitely give it a try. I think I will end up going back to this one a lot to kill an hour or two here and there. Seems like a great deal for 20 bucks.

Should get to put in more time tonight with it.

This game is a lot of fun. It feels like what the developers always wanted Diablo to turn into. And once you complete the 20-30 hour main quest, you get a random dungeon dive game.

Golly gee, that's a good list. Definitely buying Red Dead, maybe the other two are just rentals depending on how much replay value they look to have (although Heavy Rain seems like you could play it multiple ways)

Tell me you're talking about the guy at the end of the train. I have hit him with multiple grenades, emptied clip after clip on him an dodged him several times but still can't get past him. Is there something obvious that I am missing?

You have to keep working on him. When he lobs grenades, I would run to the outside of the train. When he charges at you, you have to go to the other end of the train and work on him some more.

Have been trying that approach but no luck yet. Took a break from it for a while to clear my head and try again. Was probably getting too frustrated and that was making it worse. The closest I came (I think) I ended up getting stuck on the edge of a wall and killed with a grenade.

Detail is Walmart will sell the 360 Arcade for $200 with a free $100 GC.

11/7 - 11/13 I believe

Use that card to get a 360 hard drive kit for $89 and have a 60 GB Xbox 360, Live headset and three months of XBL Gold for $189.

Sadly, that's not the guy I'm talking to. He's nothing compared to the end. If I remember correctly, I kept punching him and eventually he dropped his guns and the fight becamse even. (I might be thinking of the wrong place in the game)

I got past that guy, and figure I am screwed when I get to the final boss.

Or, not saying you should do this and you have to find the right Customer Service person, IE overnights CSS, but you could purchase the 360 for 199, get the gift card.

Return the 360 without receipt, get gift card and then purchase a Elite with your two giftcards. Elite for 199.

I'm not a video game at all and I got past it. Took me more than an hour and did it at 3 am in the morning but I pulled it off.

I didn't find the final boss battle to be extraordinarily difficult - I actually got through the first time without dying and having to re-start, unlike many other levels in the game. Took a while (it takes a lot to kill him), but I was able to get it first time out.

Not saying it's easy, but there are workable strategies to win that level.

So after reading some comments on here about Torchlight I tried the demo out-- what a fun game! I love that the graphics are low-end, you can still make a really nice looking game without needing a super-computer to play it nowadays. I was even playing the demo on my Mac via VMWare Fusion and it plays no problem.

In that regard, I'd like to get the Mac version but it sounds like I'll have to wait until January for it... not sure I can hold out that long. Hopefully Modern Warfare 2 will be enough of a distraction that January arrives quickly...

Almost every Gamestop here is, plus I know Best Buy is even doing it which is rare, or at the one around here it is anyway, so I bet it's safe to assume a store by you will be.

I'm fairly certain there is a barcode on each console sold, and therefore they'd be able to scan that. And I'd guess it would link directly to your receipt. Otherwise if your Xbox broke, you could just go buy another one and do the switcheroo if you RROD'd.

New trailer for Buzz Quiz world is out.

Buzz Quiz World 11/10 « PS3 Blog and Community | PS3Blog.net

If you're new to the PS3 and didn't play this game on the PS2, it's a great party game. In addition, Buzz Quiz TV is selling with buzzers included for $20-30 in most retailers now. You can buy the old game for $20 and the new game for $40. $60 for both games with buzzers is a nice price.

I also purchased the 'Junior' Buzz games on PSN. They're $5 each. My 2 1/2 year old loves to play those games. Just basic color recognition games for the most part.

Heh, to be fair though it was a pretty huge seller on PC as well. I know I read it did well over a million sales there. Harder to gauge exactly because of download services but it was definitely a noticeable chunk of money for them.

That said, people up in arms on stuff like this doesn't mean much. I don't see people boycotting it. They'll buy it if their fans, it is before release now and they're just gnashing teeth.

In other Call of Duty PC woes I read that the D2D and Impulse at least are refusing to carry the game because it has a forced Steamworks integration. I can understand where they're coming from, but not sure how wise this decision is. People are going to buy it and they're just ensuring it is from Steam.

I guess they had to standup at some point.

BOOM! Demon's Souls has been beaten! I thought it was gonna take about a week longer than it did heh. A lot of the levels I thought would take hours were pretty much just the end boss for that world.

Basically I think the first level is just inappropriately hard compared to the rest of the game. Its very possible that I died more getting to the first boss when the game just starts than I did in every other level combined. That's not to say that the rest of the game is easy, but I only once or twice felt frustrated after I beat the initial level that has to be beaten to get to the Nexus.

The wiki is invaluable. I don't think I ever would have beaten it without assistance from the wiki, but I tried not to use spoilers too often, only after a couple tries at a boss that was just absurdly difficult,or if I died at the same place repeatedly.


I'll spoiler one thing if anyone is still playing or planning on trying it again. The level progression is just not straightforward. Beating world 1, then 2, then 3, etc, is not how it goes. There are lots and lots of open ended options, but the most efficient way to attack the world I believe to be as follows:

I've purchased all my CODs on the PC - I can't stand the PS3/360 controller for games like this. Give me my mouse and keyboard any day.

FWIW - there are a lot of great servers with a great bunch of guys on the PC as well that I still play on.

Will you be able to buy the game at midnight at Best Buy or is it pre-orders only?

10 hours and I will be buying COD: Modern Warfare 2 somewhere near me. Walmart probably. Considered the Prestige edition, but I want real night vision goggles so I will pass.

I know there are plenty of guys who play on the PC, it was just a joke coming from personal tastes. I have never enjoyed trying to play this type of game with mouse and keyboard, going back a long time. I know I haven't tried in over a decade.

Really? There are some games I can't imagine playing without a mouse and keyboard (say, Gears of War) and others I can't imagine playing with one (any of the Civ games or any traditional RTS, I can't see how a controller could be anywhere near as efficient or effective as a mouse and keybord in either of those type of games). And others I am fine with either. There's really no consistency in my approach to either. Where I have a preference, it's generally based on which way I've played it more.

I probably wouldn't even play FPS or 3rd PS games if it wasn't with a mouse and keyboard. I tried on the 360 (Gears of War) and no matter much I liked the game, after about 10 minutes, I start getting motion sickness. That doesn't happen with mouse and keyboard since I can use the mouse to control where I'm looking. Much more of a natural motion to it. Turning with a gamepad always takes forever where with the mouse it's just a small amount of movement and you turn 180 (I always turn mouse sensitivity up all the way).

I don't really play Civ or RTS games. Basically, for anything with live action, I prefer the Dual Shock.

I don't know if this comment is to be funny, or if you haven't played anything with a mouse/keyboard? I just thought most people would prefer a mouse/keyboard given the option. I can't play FPS games at all on console, the control lost in my opinion is brutal.

But could you imagine playing a Civ or RTS game with a mouse and keyboard?

It surprises me a little bit that people are so excited about Modern Warfare 2. Playing online is fun and all but the single player is unbelievably short based on early reviews. I guess most people care more about playing online than I do.

I will play online for much longer than 6 to 8 hours.

I have a group of 5 friends who play every CoD on Xbox Live every Wed. night. They want it for the MP more than anything else.
