I dunno- I've been quite underwhelmed with GH4, GH5, and RB3's set lists. There's a lot of rehashed stuff (about a third of RB3's set list was on a previous GH) and a lot of songs that don't really make me want to go buy either of the two new games (GH5/RB3). Tho, to be fair, RB3's set list is quite a bit superior to GH5's

I'm loving Victoria 2, but it becomes so slow by around 1890-1900 that it's unplayable.
I think the problem (or one of them) is too many POPs and military units. By the late game, I don't think they need a bunch of 100-500 people pops. Some, yeah, but as the US, some of my provinces were getting ridiculous with the number of pops. There is a problem with the game right now with large pops assimilating too quickly, but I think after some time they should just have these tiny pops convert or assimilate or something to merge them with larger pops And did I mention way too many military units? Again, as the US, around 1900 I had 575 military units. Each of 3000 soldiers, so I had a standing army of about 1.6 million soldiers. Anyone know what the size of the US army was in 1900? I'm going to take a wild guess and say it wasn't 1.6 million. And the crazy thing was I could have had 6000 (!!!!!) units. Yes, my military costs were completely out of control. Good thing I stockpiled a load of cash and that my pops didn't mind 75% tax rates. The Socialists were in charge for a good 40 years. And I didn't even have the largest army. That honor belonged to the Russians. They had 1100+ units. It's now 1903 and the game is S L O W. My spending is way out of control since I can't lower the size of my military. I mean, it's silly that I can't just say "Hire 500,000 soldiers and no more." I can lower military spending, but that lowers the pay of soldiers so it pisses off the soldiers I do have. I want to pay my soldiers well, but I don't want millions of them. There should be two sliders, one for pay and one for size. I think I'll keep playing just to see what happens. I'm pretty sure my soldiers are going to go apeshit because I have to lower their pay to such a low amount to keep my country from going bankrupt. The early game is great, but they need to work on it to keep the later part of the game playable. |

I had to look this up but according to Wikipedia's infallible wisdom, the US military strength during the Spanish-American War (1898) was a total of 300,000 regulars and volunteers. Edit: Upon re-reading wikipedia, the US was led by the Sith and US military strength was augmented by a host of Elves from Lothlorien. Last edited by Greyroofoo : 08-22-2010 at 07:34 PM. |

30 matches into Starcraft multi. I never really understood the obsession with multi in the original. Full onset addiction is setting now though. Loving it.
Still not that good, I don't think. But I'm no longer an oblivious newbie with only a grasp of the most basic game rules. Generally when I win it's deserved and when I don't I know exactly why, pure luck is needed far less. Lot of cool vids with commentary on youtube of matches as well and the ingame replays are a godsend. Next step is to get a little tighter with the build orders and use hot keys better for macroing.

The developers have said part of the reason assimilation happens so quickly is that it reduces the number of POPs and makes the game run faster later on. So I'm not really looking forward to getting to 1900 using a mod that reduces assimilation in certain parts of the world. And I totally agree with you on the military budget needing two sliders and there being too many soldiers. I thought I had a strong enough military as the US in the 1870s with around 200,000 troops (with the Civil War and the Mexican Wars over I had been at peace for a long time and felt pretty secure). But then all of a sudden the UK declared war on me with a half dozen 50,000 man stacks on the Canadian border pouring in. With large parts of India and the rest of their empire containing British citizens instead of locals they can field some massive armies. My military budget had been under 50% for years I could have had an army 3-4 times larger, I just didn't see the point until I saw those doom stacks. |

Reviews on Mafia 2 so far are mixed at best. Kotaku was mostly negative, XBox UK didn't like it, IGN gave it a 7, but Game Informer gave it a 9.
Major complaints are the length of the game (apparently can be finished in under 10 hours), lack of interesting missions, zero side missions, no reason to explore, and awful AI. |

Damn. Was pretty excited for this one.
Tangent: What is the game that Rockstar was developing? Something about being a police detective maybe?? Edit: L.A. Noire is the game I was thinking of. Couldn't find a release date though. Thats another one that I heard about earlier this year that had me excited like Mafia 2. Hopefully it isn't a let down as well. (Maybe Mafia 2 isn't and I'll enjoy but the earlier impressions aren't getting me too excited.) Last edited by Scoobz0202 : 08-23-2010 at 02:02 PM. |

While I just posted this in the "Zombie Apocalypse" thread and it's not a 2010 video game. I still felt like I should share:
Zombie RPG. Turn-based combat. It sounds awesome: Dead State: The Zombie Survival RPG A Blood Red State: Dead State Revealed | Rock, Paper, Shotgun When the Obsidian/Troika veterans Doublebear announced that they were making a Zombie-themed RPG, there was an immediate response in our comment thread. Namely, posting comments. It was then codenamed ZRPG. Now, it has a real name. Its going to be called Dead State and weve got the first hard information, screenshots and an interview with head Doublebearer Brian Mitsoda. Dead State is set in Texas in the fictional town of Splendid, in the middle of nowhere. The idea being to create a landlocked place with few large cities and a distance between towns and, metaphorically, a dying area in real life too. The game is predominantly rural and suburban in design, with the major cities basically forming a natural border for the map area. Because, frankly, due to the disaster, the cities arent where you go. Youre in charge of the local shelter a school which works as your base of operation. The basic mission is survival. You go out, gathering food and finding allies and every person who can join you is a defined personality. You stay in, improving your defences and upgrading equipment. The sort of elements of the game are discussed further in the FAQ but the key element is freedom. The game doesnt have any defined enemies. Yes, it has people who youll likely end up hostile to, but other groups of survivors will like or dislike you based upon your actions to each other. Zombies, of course, wont like you at all. Its a zombie purist game, concentrating on shambling brain-eaters rather than any manner of super-sprinting-zombie. Alone, theyre not really much to worry about. In large mobs, attracted by gunfire like, for example, you may engage in when fighting other survivors for precious supplies theyre rather more troublesome. In short, with its freedom to explore and lack of a classical arc, this seems to draw heavily from the Fallout well. Marrying that to an unexplored (in this particular genre) theme, and weve got something thats terribly exciting for anyone who cares about RPGs. We talked to Brian Mitsoda (ex-Troika, ex-Obsidian) about whats waiting out there in the desert RPS: Can you elaborate on your vision of zombies? What are you trying to evoke in the game? What kind of things have influenced you? Brian Mitsoda: On paper, our zombies are really not supposed to be threatening. Theyre dumb, theyre slow, theyre unorganized your very basic shambling corpse. Theyre only dangerous when you forget about them. Make too much noise, get cornered, ignore them thats when they get dangerous. Most games deal with a Night of the Living Dead scenario where you have to survive one night, one wave, one map. Were dealing with a long-term zombie threat, where you have to worry about keeping people fed, friends getting bit and infected while scavenging, and the desperation of other human beings. Honestly, the game is not about the zombies, but about how people react to a crisis and what they are willing to do to other human beings and even members of their group to stay alive or protect their own. The zombies are just a cause, like economic collapse or a massive earthquake, and its really the human self-preservation instinct and the survivor mentality that were interested in portraying. I think the interesting thing about a disaster is this mentality that everything is going to be okay that someone is going to come in and save me, of course. This idea that as long as you arent in immediate danger, you can keep your head down and hope the problem will go away. Were short-term thinking creatures and we dont like to think of the big picture implications of our actions global warming, borrowing money, cutting education/space spending. I think rationally we want to believe the governments of the world would mobilize quick enough to stop a zombie plague (only infected people rise from the dead in our game) but I think that generally were only mobilized when we are directly threatened. By the time people start to notice the dead walking in their neck of the woods, the problem has spread beyond containment. The zombies in Dead State are a faceless (sometimes literally) force and dealing with the zombie problem is a lot like waging a war on an ideal. RPS: Youve said that you dont want to have The bad guys and can find ways of working with or pissing off anyone. Care to elaborate on that? Brian Mitsoda: Allies in the game are people who have asked to join or have been convinced to join your group. We did this because we wanted a large pool of unique survivors and also because we wanted some randomness in the makeup of your group. You probably wont be able to find everyone in one game, and your dealings with many of the survivors may be different depending on how you govern the group, how much they get along with some of the others, their mood/morale, and when you bring them in. Morale tracks the overall mood of the Shelter if its positive, mostly people are happy, if not, you need to start raising mood and accomplishing goals that will make people forget about the horror outside. Allies wont be 100% loyal to you once they are in the Shelter, so youll have to throw them a bone every so often or impress them to make them stay. In a way its like being a real leader you cant make decisions that please all of the people all of the time. When we say we dont have bad guys, what we mean is, we want to leave the moral judgement up to the player. Theres a very specific type of person or organization that might survive a major catastrophe, as you can imagine. We have some other groups in the game, and a few that had a head start over the players ragtag bunch. For example, we have a group that is primarily made up of members of a militia. Theyre pretty much the kind of people you think youd find in a Texas militia group, but they were quite prepared for a social disaster to hit the area. You may not like them, but you might be able to come to an arrangement with them (especially if one of your allies knows them), though they may not be keen on it if youre aiding a group they hate. Its more likely the militia doesnt want anything to do with you. Most of the groups either dont want to deal with you or they just want your stuff, so convincing them to work with you or teaching them to fear you will take some doing. Not everybody wants to be found and most people will see you as a potential threat. NPC groups will act against each other, so sometimes your help or inaction can have an effect on other groups. We let the player choose their allies and their enemies there is no ultimate bad guy threat to all the groups, well, I guess unless the player manages that. RPS: The Combat system will be turn-based, without full party control though with room for you to equip characters and heavy on psychological modelling. What are you trying to evoke with the system? Brian Mitsoda: As I was mentioning earlier, we wanted to make our allies feel as though they were individuals rather than extensions of the player. They can be ordered around by the player, but as to whether they will follow that order or not depends on their ability, their aversion to the task, and their respect for the players commands. That might make it sound like they will NEVER do anything you say, but really what it means is if your ally is scared of zombies and you tell him to run into a pack of zombies, hes most likely going to ignore the order or do it and possibly start panicking as the zombies start to mob him. Each ally has different perks and personalities, and most of these can be altered by your interaction with them. Through dialogue/time they might grow to respect you and be more likely to put themselves in danger to protect you or your encouragement might make them fearlessly aggressive theres quite a few ways you can shape their behavior, and not always in healthy, feel-good back-patting. The big difference in our group and something like Jagged Alliance is these are normal people with little to no combat experience, not a veteran squad of commandos, so they handle like youd expect them to. Its best to think of them as intelligent Gradius options theyre there to assist and absorb damage. They make combat much easier than going it alone, but they can die and youre really going to have to work at it to bring everyone home all the time. Sometimes you may have to let someone go to get the rest of your group out safely. If everyone else is at the rally point and one ally is still in that house surrounded by ten zombies, let em go, cause theyre gone. RPS: Care to talk a little about the difference between human and zombie opponents, in terms of how they work in game? I especially like a the genre-staple of a firefight against humans where the gun-shots attract zombies. Brian Mitsoda: Assuming youre not hitting a human hideout, humans you meet out in the field are likely to be in small groups, ready to confront you for the same resources or just because. Some of them were working in a frozen yogurt shop up to a few weeks ago, and others might have been hardcore gang-bangers with access to heavy weaponry. Humans are faster than zombies, better armored, and a lot more likely to kill you one-on-one. They might actively seek you out or they might try to stay hidden. Just like our allies, they have their own overriding combat imperatives. Theyre unpredictable, which makes them dangerous. Zombies, on the other hand, are unorganized. They could be anywhere, but their behavior is predictable they are attracted to noise and will attack the first human they see. They dont care about sides, so if your opponents are using loud guns, the zombies will go after them. If you can use the zombies to your advantage, you might be able to take on a larger force and there are some items/strategies that can help with this but its a gamble. Its generally never a good idea to invite zombies into an area you want to explore. And dont forget enemies (and allies) killed by zombies will get back up! One thing we really wanted to capture with the gameplay was that feeling of dread that was a big part of X-Com. You only have line of sight to what you and your allies see. Its very easy to be in a situation where you turn the corner and there are five zombies waiting there or a case where you fail to properly sweep a bedroom and one lunges out of the walk-in closet while youre about to search the dresser. I think thats a big part of the zombie genre, that experience where your friend gets bit that one time you werent careful. It makes the zombies in the game scary and the exploration very tense, rather than just consisting of killing all the enemies in the area and opening all the containers, repeat ad nauseam. RPS: I suppose leads to another question what sort of AI does the zombies have? Brian Mitsoda: Well, we only have one type of zombie three if you count crawling zombies and zombies that have been set on fire. Zombies are attracted to sound in fact, you can even make noise to try and lure them out of a building, If youre unsure how many there are. Theres a noise meter in the combat interface to let you know how much noise has been made. Make noise, local ones will come to investigate. Make a lot of noise and distant ones will start looking for you. Make enough noise and zombies will be lured to that map. Its okay to be loud once in awhile, but if you sustain noise for too long, theyll be coming from all over. Stay quiet for a few rounds and they will forget about you if you havent been spotted. Zombies will attack the closest human target that they can see. It may look like they are intelligently mobbing someone, but its most likely that the NPC had the unfortunate luck of being the closest or loudest thing in the area. Its hard to predict where or when they will show up, since they might just be randomly walking around the map. On their own theyre pretty weak and slow. They really gain the upper hand when people get isolated or occupied with another task. Unfortunately, zombies that see humans will often start moaning, which increases the noise in the area. If a character gets surrounded, generally they wont have enough action points to destroy all of the attackers in one round. Zombies will frequently lunge to try and knock down humans, to gain better access to the squishy parts. And if an NPC is already weak or wounded they are susceptible to being infected, which is a permanent status, assuming they survive. Infected NPCs will become zombies if they die in combat or stop receiving antibiotics, which is the primary way to control the infection in our game. RPS: The Shelter is a school. Why did you decide on that and also, could you elaborate how it leads to interaction. The game ends if its taken, I believe, and its the place for the whole hotbed of internal interactions, yes? Brian Mitsoda: We chose a school as a shelter because American schools are frequently used as emergency shelters for many communities and modern school designs resemble prisons more than schools. Theyre designed not only to keep kids in, but to keep out people who arent supposed to be there security windows and doors, metal detectors, perimeter fences. We worked off a couple of actual school layouts it was fortunate or maybe sad that these schools were built like fortresses. The shelter is where all the allies can be found and it might seem like a pretty safe place to be, but once the danger of zombies and starving humans is escaped, you have the petty bickering and power struggle of the allies to contend with. Your player is the leader of the group theres going to be a lot of people sniping at them and expecting the player to give them special treatment. Youll have to gain the trust of allies, raise the general morale of the shelter, and make deals with other authority figures to try and keep everyone loyal. Allies will come to you with their problems or requests and theyre going to expect you to help them sometimes this means favoring one over another or bribing them with an extra ration. Dialogue skills will help, but they usually open up alternate solutions rather than just bypassing the decision. If you make a promise to someone, they will expect you to follow through, and within a certain amount of time too. We have certain situations crisis events that require the player to make especially difficult decisions. These decisions affect the law or policies of the shelters inhabitants, and most every ally will lose or gain confidence in you when you make these decisions. If you have authority figures in the school, they will want to recommend a course of action and depending on how well they respect you or if you consider their advice, they may be able to persuade other allies that you made the right choice. For example, one crisis involves the supply of antibiotics running low and dealing with the schools infected allies. You might want to make finding antibiotics a priority or give them to a few key people, or kick the infected out, but its not an easy decision and some people are going to die, some will hate you, and some will think you run a tight ship. This is the political side of being a leader, and I think its one of the more exciting parts of the games story mechanics. RPS: It s a survival game. Hence, food matters and such things. Care to elaborate how you see the game working here? Brian Mitsoda: We definitely wanted Dead State to be about survival, and we needed a resource to reinforce this. Allies need food every day. If they start to starve, it causes morale problems, which can start to impact the ability of the shelter to function. Having to go out for food is risky, but necessary. For gameplay mechanics, it prevents the player from just turtling in their shelter. It also organically raises the difficulty of the game more allies, more food needed, more (and farther) locations need to be reached to gain access to food (and the chance of running into more hostile groups). Then you factor in luxury items to help with morale and fuel for generators and parts for shelter upgrades and theres an awful lot of reason to go out and search for more people to help. The more you have, the more you need, and so on. Also, food and other items can disappear over time due to the looting efforts of other groups, so the game gets a bit harder as it goes on, and forces you to start taking risks, like trying to loot riskier areas or take on larger groups for their supplies. RPS: Thanks for your time.

Anyone else playing DeathSpank? I think it's pretty good for $15.

Hands down best looking game on Wii. Fun to play. Control is super-responsive. Lots of cut-scenes but I don't mind that too much.

MJ4H, I just started the game so I can't really judge it so far. But did you have to adjust your TV or anything? The game seems so dark, at times I can barely make out where I'm supposed to be jumping to.

That's disappointing. Speaking of disappointing, has anybody else downloaded Dead Rising Case Zero? I gave it a whirl last night and was left feeling pretty underwhelmed. |

Rumors that Gearbox Software (Borderlands) was working on Duke Nukem: Forever were confirmed at Pax today. The big surprise though is that it's playable, looks great (according to Kotaku at least), and is set to ship in 2011.

Just got Valkyria Chronicles 2 for the PSP, and it is awesome.
I am now PO'd that I never bought the first game for the PS3. Sigh. More purchases for me.

You mean 1Q 2011? That was the lastest I heard. Another year push-back and that being 'at earliest' would seem a bit extreme. Anyway. I can't wait for Fallout New Vegas. I'm just killing time until that's released. |

Fallout: New Vegas and Gran Turismo 5 will be the two biggies for me this year.

Be excited for New Vegas all you want, but I'm still not convinced Gran Turismo 5 is shipping this decade, let alone this year.

I wasn't either, until I watched the 24 Hours of Le Mans earlier this year. Banners and advertising for GT5 all over the place. If it doesn't ship, Sony will have thrown away alot of money.

I'm fairly certain that GT5 has already claimed the crown of most expensive game ever. I'm not sure how it's going to break even once it DOES ship, never mind turn a profit. |

Not to mention the series has never featured AI cars that actually race against you. They're all just out for a drive.

Would Gran Turismo 5 Prelude 2 count as a release?

It will turn a profit pretty easily. It's easy to forget that they've already made millions off the release of a glorified demo in the form of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. If you include that profit, they only have to sell around 2M copies worldwide to break even. They'll do that in the first week. Also, it's been mentioned by developers that Gran Turismo 6 will be released using the GT5 engine, so they're going to be printing money with the lower development costs on that game, which should be out within 3 years. |
