Talked on upgrading about 11 months ago, but didn’t have time. It is already 8.0. Hopefully I’ll be able to do it before 2010.
Read from the net that it is much much better than the PS3 version (that I have played around 30 hours), I’ve bought a X360 Elite, finally, because of Bayonetta.
The first impression was the much clearer cut scenes, and much much faster loading (after installing to hard disk). But the game play didn’t have a large difference in terms of smoothness. X360 version does perform better but not night and day. A 360 for just this game doesn’t seem to be a good choice, yet.
Hopefully the difference will be more later.
update: After 13 hours on X360 version, I’d say both has stuttering moments, sometimes the PS3 feels better, the X360 is overall smoother, but I prefer the Dual Shock 3.
update2: After 75 hours on X360 version, I’d say it is the definitive version ! But PS3 port is still worth it if you don’t have a 360.
update3: This is THE action game of the generation.
update4: Unlocked Jeanne.
I’m still not convinced, although most of my (more advanced) friends were using it. I won’t like to key in stuffs that I have to look at it to not be wrong, nor I won’t like I don’t know which keys were I pressing.
I love my Nokia E71, or my slow Sony Ericssion M600i, which I will surely know which keys I have pressed.
Apart from that, the stubborn Apple corp. culture has driven me away from any of their products (except QuickTime Pro on Windows, which I happened to paid for, as a software package from Apple).
Bought one recently, the packaging is very nice, the finishing of the charging dock and the mouse is top notch. The shape matches very well with my hand. I like its wireless/wired dual mode capability that I don’t have to be wired when I don’t need the highest precision and lowest latency.
Doesn’t look like there are any effect on the prices of the beers that I like, some even had a increase in price than discounts.
It is Hoegaarden, I usually buy it at HK$8.9 from a neighboring supermarket before, but it’s price has been raised to HK$13.8 recently. I had stopped buying it since then. It had been in the market for a while, don’t know how the distributor suddenly thinks it worth that much more.
Doesn’t changed much for my other favourites, e.g. Duvel, Chimay, Maisel’s Weisse.
It was released even before I have time to upgrade my servers to 7.1.
Bought the gold edition of COH recently, I’ll never understand why the patches system is so disgustingly clumsy. Before I can even start a single player game, I have to go through patches after patches, wasting a lot of time in downloading the huge patches. Couldn’t Relic just allow people to use the disc to play a single player game peacefully than being forced to download patches after patches for hours (on usual ADSL) ?
The worse thing happens when you install the game, patched it and then found that you need an install in addition to the key of Opposing Fronts. Installing Opposing Fronts will net you an old version of the tree and you need to apply the patches again.
It might be my first and my last PC game from Relic. I can stand with frequent patches on open sourced software, but not commercial products, especially not for games that should be for fun.
