Okami: Just got this game. I got the Bloom ability.
Visually, this is a really impressive game. Controls are a bit... uh, not good. It had a hard time picking up my slashing attack and I still don't have any idea what I'm doing in combat. |

I guess you're playing on the Wii, then?
Can't comment on the controls in that case, but I'm sure the basics of combat will come to you soon. I don't remember all the details anymore, but I am a freaking idiot when it comes to figuring things out in games and I still adjusted pretty quickly. The overall difficulty is pretty mild most of the time, too, so you have some room to breathe. |

Yeah, I'm playing the Wii version. I even have an IGN logo on my box to commemorate when the internet raised a big deal over nothing.
But attacks are done by wagging the Wiimote. I can't figure out if there's a stamina meter or not, but every now and then I just stop attacking. And drawing the "horizontal" line is an exercise in patience. Fortunately, it doesn't have any trouble distinguishing circles like some games. That being said, this has a very "Legend of Zelda" feel to it, likely because I've played Twilight Princess and they used the same communication tactics for story and humor. But gameplay reminds me a lot of that, too. |

It doesn't have a stamina meter, you just can't take combos past a certain point.

Super Mario Bros. 3 is MUCH harder than SMB2. The only way I ever finished SMB3 on the NES was to carefully ration enough special items so that I could skip
the hardest levels in World 8. If I got a Game Over and ran out of power-ups, I could never get past the airships.

Huh, SMB2 is the only NES Mario Bros I haven't beaten yet. I think it's the controls.
Anyway, I cleared out the second mission of Lost Planet. I guess the levels themselves are okay, but the two bosses I've fought so far have sucked! First, they expect you to use those Gundam things that move like C3P0. The first boss is just a really big variation of a common enemy. The second boss is a VS that jumps around like a damn jackrabbit, and I could never tell where the bastard was until it'd already hit me with a missile. |

Did you by any chance stumble upon an empty room on the beach?
Well, it's not empty now. |

I can usually get past an individual SMB3 airship after 2 or 3 tries, but the strain of trying to beat the whole world without game over is tough to handle. I
don't know if I could, for instance, warp whistle my way to world 8 and be able to beat the game. I have to run through the worlds to collect lives and
items.
SMB2 was the first game I beat (I was four), so I guess the controls had just stuck with me. If you have a good intuitive sense with Princess or Luigi you can avoid a lot of the obstacles that would make the game harder. It also helped that when I was younger I was phobic of losing, so I'd play really cautiously. You can't rush through SMB2 as easily as in SMB1 or 3 for various reasons (can't stomp on enemies, a lot of them are big, more vertical gameplay), but if you play slowly it's almost impossible to game over. |

I also never beat Worlds 6 and 7. Ice Worlds are killer for me so I warped past them. Not this time, though. This time I'm going to brave it out. Oh. Really? I guess I'll have to check that out...

I'm not phobic of game over-ing at all, I do not play games cautiously on my first try, and I still have never gotten a game over on Super Mario Bros. 2.
See how your opinion ruined Christmas for everyone!

I have, but it's been so long I don't remember what it looked like.
Oh my God, they found Tom.

I can pretty much play SMB2 blindfolded, with my arms tied behind my back. And dead.
SMB3 is harder. But again, I've played it so many times that I always finish with dozens of lives. The game, particularly areas in worlds 6, 7, 8 can still be really exciting, though. |

It's just a black screen with "Game Over", then the options to continue or quit come up.

Y'know what? Fuck Lost Planet.
Level 3 is a huge ice field with a giant worm running swimming around it, creating earthquakes which constantly hault Wayne. When I finally got past the actual level I get to a boss that's some woman in a mech who I finally gave up on, because she's difficult for all the wrong reasons: 1) You have a chance to jump into a mech, but her mech is about twice as agile as yours. 2) Smoke Bombs? Fine. But she's throwing these in your face along with missiles, the trails and explosions of which ALSO throw a bunch of smoke in your face. All I could see was smoke and fire for half the fucking fight. 3) She Lodoss Wars you, and not just by knocking you down when you're on foot. When a mech takes damage it gets stunned, and she always timed her attacks that I'd get hit again just as soon as I regained control of the mech, which as I've already said are sluggish. |

D2:LoD --
argh. so the werewolf form isn't as tough as the barby. the druid needs summons(and a well-equipped merc) to back it up. i found an ethereal eagle headgear which gave a point in oak sage, which is a summoned spirit who can increase the life of my party by 30%(at level 1). that's useful, but i'm not pumping points in that skill, as it sounds more sexy on a werebear who has much more lifepoints. i wanna work on my strengths not my weaknesses. oh ok.. the wolverine spirit, which comes after the oak, can increase attack rating and damage. that would work well with my werewolf who is more of a speedy scrapper (in contrast to the slow tanking werebear). i just hate wasting a point in oak just to get that. would consider doing that if this version had skill synergies. if this was version 1.10, i think i would put points in werebear just to get to the hunger skill, which drains enemy life and mana w/o killing them. so i'm going with the creeps. the 1st creep is poisonous. fast, poisons enemies quickly and repeatedly, but has the lowest life of all the summons. said to be good for stopping monsters from regen-ing, but i don't have enough mana to continously summon the weakling. later i got carrion creep which eats corpses and restores a small percentage of my life each time it does that. combined with the life-draining rage attack, i'm pretty much invincible, as long as i keep killing things. also great for destroying corpses so enemies can't corpse explode or revive them. i'll pump a few points in that skill to save my life and also prolong the lifespan of the creep. but the creep i'm really going for is the solar creep which will be available at level 24(i'm at 19). it increases mana regen each time it eats a corpse. think i'll need that so i won't ever run short of mana potions. i doubt i can find a good (enough to return 3-5 mana per hit) mana draining weapon or glove before i complete normal difficulty. ...not unless i waste hours pumping up my magic find %, and more hours hunting for the perfect set of rare/unique/set items. of course if i actually play online, i could just go beg for them. not gonna do such a munchkin thing even if i could. the savegame editor feels so much less dirty compared to begging opnline. the grizzly bear looks nice, but i'll probably only have 1 or 2 points in it before i kill baal, unless i continue to nightmare mode. it's more for pure druid summoners, or summoner/casters. even then, it's pathetic compared to amazon's valkyrie(sp?), assy's shadowmaster, or any of the necromonger's golems.

Well, I'm not having much luck with the 360.
I tried to play Dead Rising, but either I need a bigger TV (my current TV is only a 13") or an HDTV to play this, because the text is illegibly tiny!

Don't bother to make that reasonable complaint about Dead Rising on any other board because the game's fans (or Xbox fanboys in general) will say
you're an idiot for being a modern gamer and not owning an HDTV.

I hate up=down for most games. I can actually get headshots in third person (with out using sniper rifles! using the MK22!) now due to the over the shoulder aiming, and you can switched it to autoaim for center mass, which is useful at several times. First person itself seems improved somehow as well. Maybe its simply faster moving now, I'm not sure. The control overhaul took me a while to learn, but its a massive improvement. Done Batdancing, back to EO2. "I flew into the wild and fire. I danced and died a thousand times."
