want to buy it but I don't want to end up with a bad "GoW" clone
so has anyone played it?? and is it any good??
I don't want to spend $65 on a bust..I learned my lesson with alpha protocol

kinda want to wait a few days for castlevania instead but the last castlevania I bought was on the PS2 and it sucked

so next question is Castlevania or Quantum Theory

I didn't like it. It felt too much like a Gears of War rip-off!

Buy Vanquish instead, Platinum never makes a bad game.

I had high hopes for alpha protocol, and I thought that with the delays, it'll be a good game, but I was wrong

I guess I'll pass on Quantum Theory, I might still buy it later when the price drop on used games

Despite some unpolished bits, I loved Alpha Protocol. However, I rented Quantum Theory and it's gosh darn awful. Everything about this game is crap.

- An absolutely stupid story w/ stupid lead characters and lame enemies

- The graphics and art design were worked on late one night when the developers came home from a party and puked on a computer screen

- Aiming is incredibly sluggish

- Cover system is very basic and behind the times

- Bugs, glitches, bugs, glitches, excrement... EVERYWHERE!

I could go on, but needless to say, Quantum Theory is what happens when a chimp, a giraffe, and some 95 year old pedo get together and make love.

I'm gonna get vanquish instead, the demo was pretty damn good

Enslaved shall be incredibly awesome. Loved the demo. It's getting good reviews. Story sounds awesome. Check that out.

But yeah, I'm with you on Vanquish.

download them overnight, then. set your xbox to continue downloading after it's been powered down.

worst excuse, ever.

Seriously. play the Vanquish demo. you will go apeshit.

You will find that it's not so much a GoW clone, as it is, a reinvention. GoW and Vanquish have many similarities, but it does everything right, and sometimes better than GoW.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
