GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Tuesday, Oct 20, 2009

I've tried playing as Vergil in DMC3 SE, but I'm just not getting much feel for it. Although Vergil does have VERY powerful moves, he doesn't have as many as Dante, and I actually have to agree with the GS review that Vergil's gameplay felt kinda thrown in, because there aren't many cinematics, and all he does are practically the same missions as Dante. So I could just basically Youtube the whole thing if I wanted to.

And I'm also not gonna bother finishing RE4, it's a great game... but Dead Space is better in ALMOST every way.

All my other PS2 games (apart from MGS 2 and 3) will be dropped too, including the awesome Hitman Blood Money (might as well wait until a new Hitman game comes out for the new gen consoles). No worries, my PS2 won't be gone forever once I sell it, it'll be safe at my sister's apartment so I can play it anytime I'm there.

So it's back to teh PS-TREASURE for now, and since it has the feature of naming the system, I called mine Aeon... because it just sounds cool. I'm gonna try to play all my games, not at the same time of course, unless you figure that I'm playing a different game in every other alternate universe... XD But the primary objective of my gaming is to finish MGS1, so I could switch back one last time to my PS2 to traverse through 2 and 3, then FINALLY unwrap the still sealed MGS4 game.

Oh and Dirt 2's a great rally racing game! It may have a rather short car selection and a few minor flaws, but overall it's worth buying. I took some screenshots of my own gameplay in it (don't you just love it when games have that feature ), and even though they don't really show off much of the A.I. or inside camera view, it still shows off my "Wheelman" quality.

So here arethe screenshots, and I promise I'll post more next blog, which will feature more A.I. and inside camera view! Sorry if I'm killing your internet bandwitdh.

Off-road shortcutThere's a reason why the game's called Dirt (in a good way XD)This better have good shock absorbersBMW Z4 is aweshum!It's fun seeing shiny thingz fly out of the pipe XDWhohohoaaa two-wheeler!Z4 again, but coated in a different liveryAAAHHH ANOTHER two-wheeler!Now that's what I call a dirteh but perfect drift!Close-up view

Oh and here's one song that's featured in the game's rock-tastic soundtrack (a friend of mine had made me hear this song before I even knew it was in this game ) : Madina Lake - Never Take Us Alive

I've been looking for a racing game lately. Perhaps I should look into Dirt 2. I never played it's predecessor, but... it's got some eye popping visuals. Well, it's between that and Gran Turismo Portable on PSP.


Btw, those are some pretty great shots you took.

@herviross_2: After trying out as Vergil, same here man. Thanks!

@raven_squad: I'd say get Dirt 2, though I think it's a tad bit overpriced (fortunately I got my copy for cheaper on Ebay XD ). I heard that Gran Turismo for PSP doesn't even feature any career mode. Oh and thanks dude!

The thing with Vergil is that once you unlock all of his moves and level up his Darkslayer style, his combo potential is insane. Consider the fact that you can summon his phantom swords mid-melee attack WITHOUT cancelling that attack, and all of the attack variations of his summon swords provides lots of options for some ridiculous combos. Not to mention you have access to using his judgement cut (his slashing orb attack from the boss fight) which is satisfying to land normally let alone combo into it. Check out some of the stuff he's capable of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObOwBUgq_rA. It especially starts getting sweet at around 3:25 once he starts mixing in summon swords.

@jt4mtb: Dayumn... That is pretty intense, and he sure does have nice combos once upgraded. Still, I'm just happy watching it on Youtube, I'm not too great at stringing combos like that. I'll be able to practice that when I start up on DMC4.

Virgil is cool dont underestimate him and I think laying great games aside is a mistake, you should play them but Id for sure be playing the hell out of all things MGS right now since you havent played any of them yet.

@Roman_Irishman: I know... jt4mtb actually showed me a Youtube vid on Vergil's gameplay with upgrades, that was actually really good... For RE4, I've already went through it twice on GC. As for Hitman, I'm still thinking about it. Maybe I'll finish it when I get to MGS2 and 3.

@PredatorRules: Yeah man, I'm sure you'll like it!

@UbberHappyGamer: Thanks!

@G-Unit1422: It already is!

Hopefully you can beat all your games fast enough, especially MGS1,2 and 3. It will make your MGS4 experience much much better than mine and my experience was already amazing. Also enjoy DiRT 2!

@Pharoah__Link: For sure I will, and thanks!

I agree Dead Space is better than RE4, it's actually kind of scary That's good you can still play MGS2 and 3 when you're at your sisters, that would suck to have payed for the MGS collection only to be able to play MGS1 Glad you're enjoying Dirt 2, the graphics look good That would've been cool if Vergil got seperate missions with a different story with cutscenes, but that might've made the game a lot longer.

Dude, that's what I need to do!!! Start getting alternate versions of myself in other dimensions to start helping me clear out my backlog of games. I'll still play the good games of course. *THEY* can play the crap games like The Last Remnant and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time!

Iz gonna hav tu talk liek dis moar, cuz ur startan to get betters at it. Glad you're enjoying Dirt 2!

You'd better finish MGS1 soon dammit

Also, I hope you have fun with Vergil. I have to still beat DMC1 before continuing on to 3.

@edpeterson: Actually I'll be playing MGS2 and 3 at my place before the PS2 leaves. Yeah Dirt 2 has stunning visuals. And true that DMC3 would've been longer if the makers elaborated on Vergil's story, but it would've been worth it... for me anyway.

@Aidan129: Haha, that would be so awesome!

@hazelnutman: Don't worry, I'll finish it soooooooon... *Plays Midnight Club L.A.* Lol yeah, how's DMC1 going anyway?

Hmm, well i can't find it in our stores... you sure there isn't another release date for Europe??
Posted Oct 23, 2009 8:26 am PT
@G-Unit1422: I just read that it comes out December 15th in Europe. But you could probably buy it off Ebay!
