I think it might be fun to find out what we all have been doing in gaming lately.
I will start it myself.
Hmm, where should I start? I picked up God of War (finally) from my friend and beat it in a day. The game is pretty unique. I like how you can kill your enemies in special sequences. Boss fights are awesome. Aries at the end is too hard. He has a fire palm move that stunts you and then he follows it up with a combo. After several tries, I found out that O is the best attack against him. Use R1 to do the dash attack then do O x 4 if u get the chance. If not save, roll right out of there. One thing my friend has been complaining about GoW2 is that parry isn't as good as it was in the first game. But, in my opinion, parry in GoW is kinda broken. You can cancel anything into a parry at any given time. Sometimes, i actually feel sorry for the monsters/undead/whatever.
Recently, I spent a lot of time on fighters becuase I bought a hori stick. I've always played my fighting games on pad mainly. I played cvs2 at school arcade but i was never really comfortable with it. I have no problem switching from pad to stick as far as most of the fighting games go. Hori stick is pretty sensitive and I had problem adapting in the beginning. It took a couple weeks to overcome my difficulties. The only game that I have problem with is guilty gear. The way how GG is setup on stick is like reverse of the games I have ever played in my life.
in CvS2/SF3/Alpha3/whatever, it's always
punch punch punch
kick kick kick
in GGXX, it is
kick slash hardslash
punch dust
I've been playing fighting game since i was 14 and it's always punch at the top and kick at the bottom. Playing GG sometimes really make me feel that my mind is getting raped. A lot of times, I would be pressing kick and wonder why I didn't throw a punch. On pad, i was good with slayer/jam/sol/ky. I could also play some other character. But, I had the configuration set up like it's a capcom game. Typically, it's not banned in tournament to do that. But, i never imagined it would be this hard.....
I also got the fist of north star game and another anime game based on a manga. Fist of north star is not bad, but I feel like instant death moves are kinda homo. first of all, one round takes a while to finish. some of the supers int he game do sorry damage. Then, you can't really do best two out of 3. why? in order to do death move, you have to deplete this special bar each player has. I think you can deplete it by hitting your opponent with special move. Once the bar is complete gone or drained, u see this special animation on the screen. Then you know you can perform special death move. Arc system also installed death moves in guilty gear, but you could never do it in a combo. you would have to activate and activation takes time. so, unless you use ABA, getting hit by instant death move is almost impossible. Not so in fist of north star. For example, if you use kenshiro, all u have to do is crouching light kick x 2, crouching heavy kick, qcf+heavy kick, then qcf + heavy punch + heavy kick. That's instant death for your opponent. The special bar does not recharge itself very quickly and it doesn't recharge itself in the next round. so, let's say if you lose the first round, there is a good chance you will get instant kill in the 2nd round. that's exactly the reason why msot of the matches in tournament are best 3 out of 5. It takes a while to finish. blah.
I haven't played my ps3 much lately. I got tired of resistance and my friend wouldnt' play vf5 with me. He is pretty stubborn and he only plays vf with stick. the new update allows players to use usb apator to hook up their own ps2 controllers. but, it would only recognize certain input. anyways, only buttons on our sticks would work. we are waiting to see if pelican's new usb adapter will work better or not. If that doesn't work, might have to get new sticks :(
That is about it for now.
