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 !

Completed the set of Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess capsules

But my daughter lost the sword of the princess, heh !

Decided to keep minimal content only

Only the ones that are focused will be kept, and video files will keep decreasing until they are gone. Not sure when but they will keep decreasing.

The servers are going to for some other purposes later on. I hope you enjoy while it lasts. And BTW, the blog is unaffected.

2 WATC one coin figures

Picked up 2 of the 7 one coin figures of Wanda to Kyozou (Shadow of the Colossus), one of them is the secret one “Mono”

The other one is the 16th Colossus

Pretty fine stuffs !

Next gen consoles

I don’t have a PS3, but I have bought a copy of Japanese VF5 and played it on my friend’s PS3 (at 720p), I think it is nothing spectacular (in terms of graphics), don’t know much about the improvement on the gameplay for sure. The other one that I had tried is the downloadable GTHD, it is very nice, but not enough to persuade me to buy a system yet.

It is even worse for X360, not many titles have got me interested, may be Blue Dragon, but the game doesn’t seem to be interesting enough after watching my kid played it a while at a demo booth.

Guess I’ll wait a bit longer until there are games that worth buying a system.

Bought Chaos Wars today

Bought Chaos Wars brand new at a bargain price (~US$11) today, but hadn’t played it yet.

This is the only game that I bought recently, too busy working these days !

Hah ! Couldn’t get Silent Hill Complete Set

Received a message from the import store that I ordered mine, due to some kind of mis-communication, they were not able to get one for me, I guess I will have to leave it as it is than paying for an overpriced copy.

Very disappointed, but couldn’t do anything about it. May be it is time to stop blindly collecting Silent Hill stuffs, especially when posession has become obsession.
