I know, I know... I still have to send in my game. I honestly don't know which I'm going to do yet! I'll give it some thought though and I'll send it to you within a day or two.

After listening to the song you attached to the post, I am now waiting for your post with bated breath, my finger poised over the prop button. Please do it justice, or my finger might slip and hit the button next to it!*

* 'Report Post' because it would be a bannable offense

Krelian!

It should be noted

This is backwards!

I will only prop WHEN CORRECT

Whoa shit really OOPS FIXING

Well, I went ahead and posted mine. TOO IMPATIENT TO GIVE MORE TIME INBETWEEN POSTS.

Hey Guys, I was just wondering, if there is anybody who would want to trade their day with Acer. His review is on March 19th/2010.

If there is anybody who has their review after March 23rd, would like to trade with Acerbandit it would be very much appreciated. Just let me know, and I'll make the appropriate changes.

Hey Games Month Crew!

Does everyone posting in the thread want to also start a new thread with the same post in the Review forum? I split most of them out last year but it was fucking tedious with all those images to scroll past and the review bit could use some love.

Wait GB, y-you mean you're not doing Suikoden II? Despite having a Suikoden II song playing on your 'technical difficulties' page? -______-" Oh you tease...

Still an entertaining read though, your post!

I'll swap!

Oh that's awesome! Thanks Nova! =DDDD <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Qwarky, didn't Max Payne also have an adaptive difficulty? I'm one of those people that tend to reload a section of shooters like that until I can do it practically flawless, and I remember Max Payne getting crazy hard in the end during the playthroughs I played like that.

Definitely one of my favorite non-multiplayer shooters, and your post on it makes me want to play it all over again.

Done and done. And by that I mean done.

I did however screw up the title of my Front Page post, and was wondering if one of the mods could change it? The comma after battle should have been a colon, and I guess the first colon should be a dash to make it less confusing. That's what I get for proof-reading my review the morning I post it. :eagletear:

Fix'd.

Pretty sure it didn't. I've played it through like four times now and I don't recall ever coming across it in the options. Enemies were crazy durable towards the end, often carried grenade launchers which were an instant kill, so yeah, the final bits were pretty hard. It's what added to the awesome, though.

I would often reload a save over and over so I could do THAT dive and drop ALL THOSE guys flawlessly. Same for Max Payne 2, where I actually bothered to do the hardest difficulty to see the extra ending. Which actually wasn't as good as the original ending.

No, the "dynamic difficulty" is definitely there. It's not in the options which is why it's annoying. Gotta love a game punishing you for doing well. :mad:

It's pretty noticeable in the early levels when you're trying to use your pistols and suddenly guys aren't going down as easily.

EDIT: Oh, awesome writeup by the way. Spot-on with the comment about level variety--a lot of games would do well to take a page from Max Payne in terms of giving you neat places to shoot through (F.E.A.R., I'm looking at you).

I had no idea this was the case! Kinda want to reinstall just to play with this and get some neat screenshots.

Wow, I'm embarrassed to admit I have never noticed that if it's really whirring under there.

Usually they make such a huge fuss about such things (like with Sin Episodes I) and I don't recall any big difference in difficulty with each playthrough. I guess my playstyle was so similar each time.

I would take rank ups for doing well instead of some shit like Border Down's rank up AS YOU DIE

Pretty much what I did, although it has to be said, the camera is just a liiiitle bit too close for good screenshots. That, and that silly lovable scowl that looks completely ridiculous in stills.

My original few playthroughs were double the length because I just kept pausing with P to admire the flying casings and splintering wall shrapnel and particle effects. And of course you paused when there was no muzzle flash caught in the pause, so you unpaused and paused again, and then unpaused and paused and unpaused again. And then you had to do another dive in another direction and pause and unpause and pause till you caught one.

It's not punishing you for doing well, it's trying to stop the game from becoming overly easy and boring as a result. Then if it gets too hard and you die a load it makes it easier so you can progress. I think every game should have adaptive difficulty, provided it's done well.

I'll bet you like rubber band AI in your racing games, too.

EDIT: oh wow I just realized the hilarity of you saying this considering you just started a high score thread

Yep. When I'm playing a racing game I find the fun comes from racing, not from time trialing around a lap ahead of the pack. GRID is much, much more fun than Gran Turismo.

Whatever. Can we get back to looking down into the grave of our love.

I just posted mine. I hope you like it.

Despite what I said up there, I do have to agree with Tails that R4 is perhaps the greatest racing game of all time. I even unlocked the Pac Man car out of that I played it so much.

Super Metroid love up in here! <3

Also, I recently purchased a PS3 (though I'm not gonna receive it for another two weeks or so) and I'm definitely gonna have to get around to playing both Uncharted games. I hear they're short but incredibly sweet. I already got a copy of MGS4 and I'm buying GOWIII for it as well. What else should I get?
