Valkyria Chronicles 2 PSP, still playing it at least 3-4 times a week

The save game says 272 hours, hand-held console is so convenient when you just want to pick-up and play. Finished each and every missions (include all the released DLCs), still couldn’t complete all weapons for both the tank and the soldiers.

The next game that will take similar amount of time from me may be Sudoku on PSP that I started playing recently.

The freaking “No more heroes” X360 still hangs after the patch, damn !

What have you done, feelplus ?!! Is this all you’ve got on the X360 ? I haven’t encountered any problem with the original PS3 version (without the recently released patch) even after playing through it 3 times.

edit: What ! Hang again ! WTF !??

edit: Ok, 60 hours playtime, hang 2 times on the X360 even after the patch. That’s all about it. Going to sell it when it still has a good price.

No More Heroes, X360 and PS3

Completed PS3 version 3 times, completed X360 version 1 time, going for the 2nd round.

Loading time is super long on the X360, even with the game  installed on HDD.

No More Heroes, my 2nd X360 game

So far apart and so long after the first one, I finally bought my 2nd X360 game, it is No More Heroes, I bought and played the PS3 version before this one.

Both versions have shitty graphics (not very shitty compared to the Wii), and load time (X360 NMH is being worst, even installed to HDD).

X360 version was a port of the US version (without English subtitles),  PS3 version is a port of the Japanese Wii version. The blood factor got me to buy the X360 version and it marks my 2nd game on the system since Bayonetta.

Valkyria Chronicles 2 PSP

Bought both the UMD and the PSN copies and sunk 71+ hours, still have a lot to do. It is good that there are still so many things to do, just leveling up and change title need quite a lot of time.

Not as straight forward as the previous one, but it is more convenient on the PSP, much easier to just pick up and play for a short while. But the new major characters are not as charming as the old one. Wish Selvaria can wear her old suit.

Update (2010-03-08):  155+ hours already, finished it once, but still have quite a lot to do, may be 30-40 hours more will clear all the missions

Update (2010-03-22): 219+ hours, only one extra mission left, 4 more medals to go, but those are very hard, 100% development on Tank and weapons are just a bit too much

Update (2010-03-27): 232+ hours, almost done with everything, except defeat all aces, 100% tank and weapons development.

Update (2010-04-06): 247+ hours, not much of a progress so far, going from 95% to 100% takes a loooooot of time.

Bayonetta, the game that sold me an X360 Elite

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.

Company of Heroes – Company of Patches

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.

Upgraded my 60G PS3 HDD to a 250G

Now I have 160GB+ spare, don’t have to remove stuffs for game installations/demo/trailers.

And bought Coded Soul PSP, which can be linked with Folks Soul on PS3. But I still don’t have a PSP. Ha ha !
