Apparently you an...Went and read your review at GC. Apparently you and the others all suggest that this game needs to be given several hours to finally gel. Well, it has until my copy of RDR finally arrives.<br /><br />Wanted to add my other big complaint about this game. Achievements. Now, I'm not an Achievement whore by any means, but I do enjoy gazing at them and getting a sense for what's coming and I love it when they inspire me to try and play the game in a unique manner or do something I might not have thought of.<br /><br />The first Achievement pops very quickly in LP2, right after the snowy prologue. So I looked at the list and 46 of the remaining 49 Achievements are all Secret. That is bullshit. Secret achievements are meant to conceal spoilers and are typically reserved for campaign only or a small handful of really obscure things or puzzle-like acts. This is just another example of how I feel Capcom really has lost touch.Doug Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492162192250783305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625171860671748699.post-86864169188967662742010-05-25T09:40:03.939-07:002010-05-25T09:40:03.939-07:00I just started LP2 this morning and I have to say ...I just started LP2 this morning and I have to say that so far I am thoroughly disappointed. First off, I have little sense of what's going on, there's an entire leveling system and scoring system that seems to work at complete random, with no in-game explanation (I got it through gamefly and have no manual... must look online for one, I guess), and I'm sorry but the A.I. is not at all up to the level it needs to be in order for this to function as a squad-based game. Oh, and by the way, someone should tell Capcom it's 2010... cluttering the screen with a half-dozen HUD elements is no longer cool. It's just lazy. Also, I'd suggest that the whole "MISSION START" and "GET READY" labels that flash across the screen entirely ruin the mood and kill any suspension of disbelief. Oh, and let's not get started on the button-mashing to activate data posts.<br /><br />Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I present Lost Planet 2 as exhibit A on why the Japanese games industry is falling behind western developers.<br /><br />I really liked the first Lost Planet game. I knew LP2 had multiplayer and was fine with that. But somebody put multiplayer in my single-player and the results aren't anywhere Reeses good.Doug Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492162192250783305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625171860671748699.post-60062219917832550892010-05-19T02:18:18.938-07:002010-05-19T02:18:18.938-07:00I have been looking for cheap copy of the first De...I have been looking for cheap copy of the first Dementium for some time now. <br /><br />It seems that the have done a good job with the 2nd as well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714242789714258767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625171860671748699.post-38018302045357274262010-05-17T04:46:17.405-07:002010-05-17T04:46:17.405-07:00First off, poor Trent.

Though if he wants, I have copies of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, Avalon Code and DQ8 that I'd be willing to give him free of charge as I know I'll never play them again. :) I'll take the list with me and see what I can do.<br /><br />Also congrats on almost finishing your next novel! You can do it!<br /><br />And I look forward to see what you say about LP2. You're tweets were very entertaining on the subject matter.Samhttp://www.rpgamer.comnoreply@blogger.com
