4 weeks after release and i finally nabbed it....that's probably the best part of this story.

I'll start with the good. The online handles fairly well. Very little lag, though i have a new and improved internet connection so that could be the culprit. I also want to state that the coop play is pretty well made. If i never played a ratchet title this game would have rocked. There lies the problem.

If you've played any of the previous 6 games, you will feel alienated and significantly hampered compared to even the first title in the series. No camera control, no leveling up weapons or health, no secondary secret items like the box buster or the magnetic wrench booster, NO FUCKING DASH BOOTS ARGHFUCKDAMNIT. The game has lost a huge number of its gameplay elements and i don't understand why. Even the story advancement lost a huge chunk of its awesomness. No side missions, no arena, no mini games. The whole game feels incomplete. I'm dissapointed greatly with this game. And considering how much of a fan i am, that was a difficult task to pull off. Good job insomniac.

Picked up mgs hd collection for xbox. ....It doesn't feel right. Idk, maybe its age, but it feels horrible, or at least mgs2 does. Maybe cuz I'm so used to newer metal gear games, but it feels so sloppy. Even aiming feels unprecise and incredibly labored. It's definitely not my happiest gaming moment ever, for sure. Gonna try peace walker tomorrow and see how it fairs.

I meant that as no intention really, poor choice of words.

So i've reached the steel mill second visit in game, and i keep getting game freezes as soon as i hit a certain spot. Rage inducing, especially because i was having a ball in game doing everything. If you're a batman fan and haven't tried this there's something wrong with you.

Parn, i suggest filing a claim on Final Fantasy Online, as if SE has any serious brain function left, they'll adopt this title quite fast.

My thoughts are if Rei were to appear in the next ff game, i'd buy it on that note all by itself.

In all honesty, i will probably play this on ps3 just because. I'm still a ff fan deep down, no matter how much i make fun of or bitch about its recent entries. Personally, i just wish they'd make a good game just so i can stop bitching about them.

Talia is wayyyyyy hotter. Therefore i may be buying this from lamefly this week.

I agree, there really should be a combat training mode or even a practice mode for playing with your combat moves and gadgets. Also, gliding is terrible in game, the turning is so inaccurate that you waste more time trying to fine tune the landing that yoh lose time if you were rushing to an objective. I already have learned the awesomness of grapnel cancelling though, almost like spiderman web slinging.

Also of note, my freezing issues really show themselves in riddler rooms. My god it's annoying.

So gamefly came through and this lovely gem arrived at my door today. Now the bad news...

Pretty sure my ps3 is either dying entirely or i am having a massive harddrive issue. Anytime a game is installed to my system, i get terrible graphic issues and now, incessant freezing. I'm contacting sony tomorrow to see what can be done, and am gonna try to play some more of this, cuz it' s pretty awesome. I love teh batmans yo.

Got dicked by paychecks, no money til thursday or friday. Guess it's gonna be a couple days yet...damnit.

Nah, it's a full R&C title, they just leaned towards a more coop style of play. It's similar to deadlocked if you played that. I'll have it hopefully later today so i'll give a better idea of what it's like later.

I disagree, the game looks pretty solid so far. Very similar to old r&c games, but with a bit of a multiplayer rpg-ish "help your buds, but look out for number one" style play. Plus dr. Nefarious is just so fucking cool damnit.

Damnit, i have 500 points on my account, and i really don't wanna buy a 20 dollar card just for the 300  i need still. Grrr....

How much is it and is their online coop? I haven't been on my 360 in a while and honestly won't get baxk on til i can get more than 2-3 hours extended play out of it, unless this is really good.

I look forward to more bullshit lines of sweet talk from square enix, followed by a full announcement of the cancellation of ffxiv.
