OP Title of the Year?

[JB1981]

Very nice OP. Sad to hear that the MP isn't so hot. 8/10 from Eurogamer is encouraging but the review didn't really read like an 8/10 to me. I will probably wait until the game goes on sale.

[glaurung]

Finished it last night.

The campaign is short, and yet it does not feel short. Quite MGS-like cinematography, solid shooting mechanics and a delightful set of weapons. I even liked the story, though it felt restricted in terms of choice (and there are about four QTEs that are too easy to fail). Cain the French gaybot is a new favorite.

Highly recommended.

As for MP - could not get it to work yet.

[duckroll]

Is the final boss awesome? I must know. Don't spoil it, I just want to know if it's awesome.

Yes and no.

Yes, because it is a proper challenge. No because it is not what you quite expect.

My body is ready.

I finished this last week. Pretty solid game with decent shooting and an interesting story. I bought the game in Japan but played it in English and the localization was better than expected (I actually laughed a couple of times at the jokes). It might be that I am just comparing it to Biohazard Revelation, which had cringeworthy English dialogue.

I could see playing chapters over again to try out missions with different team members, but I think I will sell the game before the buyback price drops. I played about one hour of the multiplayer (both horde mode and pvp), which was about enough for me. It wasn't bad, but it didn't grab me.

[Papercuts]

My body is ready.

To say "I love you" and "Fuck" to my squadmates at random points.

[Dead Man]

I will try the demo when I get home from work. Looks interesting.

[IrishNinja]

fantastic OP, good work man.

getting my copy in from gamefly when it drops monday, hype is starting this weekend!

[Risk Breaker]

Wow, that OP is awesome.

[The Cartographer]

My copy is ready

[IdreamofHIME]

Is the camera making anyone else feel a bit sick? It's making me feel super whoozy, so much so I had to take a break.

[J. M. Romeo]

I had no fucking clue about this game except for that BINARY DOMAIN YOU GUYS weird email thread.

Now I have checked that video on the OP with the Yakuza dude wearing mirror glasses.

You just got Nagoshi another sale, good sir.

[Phonomezer]

OP Title of the Year?

OP title of the forever.

Edit: It's out?! wtf! Now... do I buy books for uni or Binary Domain this week... HMM.

[Phoenix Fang]

Can't wait for this game. Loved the demo.

[Backflip]

Here is my review if someone wants to add it to the OP (I gave the game a 7.5) : http://www.jvn.com/jeux/tests/test-d...ry-domain.html

I really liked the game but I don't think the last boss lives up to the other bosses you fight during the campaign.

[Suzuki Yu]

nice OP!
i am playing the game at the moment, what a great campaign!

[Lighthouse]

Everything about this thread feels right.

Im very pleased with the reviews and sales so far. See you all in the binary domain.

[Neuromancer]

The last boss is Nagoshi

[Koralsky]

Im very pleased with the sales so far.

Otherwise, waiting my copy to arrive from zavvi.

[mujun]

I'd say it's awesome. Quite a challenge but a well designed one.

[eshwaaz]

Finished it last night. The campaign is short, and yet it does not feel short.

About how long did it take you? Reviews are all saying it's 8 - 10 hours, which is great for a straight-up shooter. It's so damn aggravating to me that 5 - 6 hour campaigns have not only become common, but have also gained acceptance as a satisfactory length for an action game.

[Airan]

How's the PS3 framerate guys, is it much better than the demo version?

[atomsk]

i am ready you guys

i wanna fry sky high

[Yamibito]

Played through Chapter 1 on PS3 last night- having lots of fun and the frame rate is much improved over the demo for those worried about this version.

[Yuterald]

Can't wait! Tuesday couldn't come any sooner!

[SpikedGunner]

Love the OP, I'm looking forward to picking up my copy on Tuesday (damn you Amazon for not offering release date shipping with this).

Also, I'm still hoping SEGA releases the Yakuza skins outside of Japan.

Oh wow i didn't even know this.



Akiyama needs to be in every game ever.

[Jimmy Stav]

It's disappointing to hear that the PS3 version is worse, as I was hoping to buy that version for the sake of finally getting some trophies and to teach myself how to aim with a Dual Shock.

Did not bother to look it up on a save file or in the system, but 9h sounds about right. Mind you, a cool third of that is made up of cutscenes.

No complaints from me, PS3 version. It might have dipped a few times during heavier cutscenes.

Yeah, I'm not sure why glaurang said that it's short. It took me 8.5 hours (went average speed I would say) which is quite long for a shooter.

[highluxury]

Like that Robots go off like a car alarm when youre detected. Nice touch.

I have to hand it Nagoshi. Making robots your enemy is a flexible idea. Love the fact, that even though you blast their leg/legs off they still go on. Or that their armor bursts in smithereens when shot. The fact they act as bullet sponges is justified and challenging.

The variety of robot designs is really cool.

Its unlike most TPS cover based games, like uncharted where a couple of shots to the leg will kill a foe. Which doesnt make sense.

EDIT: I really hope this game sells, because it deserves the sales. Judging by what Ive seen, its more polished and put together than most TPS this generation. That and the story is quite enjoyable.

EDIT 2: Voice casting deserves some praise too. Love that the characters have accents. Havent heard something quite like it since the MGS 1 days. Major thumbs up.

It's pretty fine for me. Dipped during the spider boss with all the dust around.

Am surprised the MP is smooth on a shitty connection.

[quinntendopower]

looks like my work is paying off. a lot of day one's here!

so glad my sacrifice is making people choose gameplay!

[Lighthouse]

73,683 ps3, 4000(lol) 360 in Japan. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=464121

Not earth shattering but not bad either considering the type of game it is.

Am surprised the MP is smooth on a shitty connection.

How are you liking the multiplayer so far? Is it something you could see yourself investing considerable time in or just a nice diversion?

[dreamfall]

So excited! My love for Nagoshi knows no bounds! Still trying to decide which console to get it on- my Yakuza PS3 experiences swear Sony, but that demo seems to say otherwise. What are most getting it for?!

[Mejilan]

Hmm, wasn't even on my radar, but all of a sudden I'm very tempted to preorder.
I'm sure that I'm just now wrapping up Vanquish for the first time has absolutely nothing to do with that. :)

Any consensus on platform features/performance? I tend to skew PS3 for controller preferences, but will switch to 360 if necessary (Bayonetta)...

[helvetica bold]

Does anyone have the full 360 retail version?
Thats the one i have on reserve. So the frame rate is
smoother on the 360 right? I know the 360 looks a little
sharper with a few more jaggies than the PS3.

[deim0s]

Quick match surprised me, I just blinked and instantly on a TDM session. Still a lot to discover tho and I haven't tried buying any additional equipment for each class yet, keep on picking the guns they leave around. Those shotguns deals massive damage.

I think it will stick with this much longer than *ahem* Uncharted's MP.

Nagoshi have something in here man. That man never fails.

[Hot Saucerman]

The last boss is Nagoshi

Hahahaha. Man, I wish we were that lucky.

Now I'm picturing a realistic Nagoshi face on a giant robot spider body.

[highluxury]

Holy shit the highway-gigantic-motorcycle boss is fucking awesome!

Seriously. The robot designs in this game are rocking it

[Metalmarc]

Didn't even know much about the game till last night

downloaded the demo this morn and completed it.
at last a 3rd person shooter on the ps3 in the vein of gears that's good imo

will pick up a copy soon

[Fortinbras]

Finished the game a few hours ago and enjoyed every single minute of it. The game offers a great campaign, some very cool characters like the french robot and great boss battles. Third person shooter fans should play it.

I played the demos on PS3 and 360 as well as the full version on 360. The framerate is smooth most of the time in the retail version and framerate drops are rare.

OK you got me all excited now! I loved Uncharted 2 mp but U3's mp really did not impress.
I think it had to do with the maps and the fact that the shooting did feel as good as U2's.

Really looking forward to playing now, is the hardest difficulty available from the start or do you need to unlock it?

One more question, are there any unlockables?

[Augemitbutter]

The last boss is Nagoshi

[harriet the spy]

I am very torn. I know I will want to play this game. I want to support it. But I also feel that it's likely to bomb pretty hard, dropping to 30 or something soonish. So do i want to buy it at high price just to support the dev, or should i just play my own interest and buy it when it inevitably drops shortly..

Added to the OP, thanks!

Also added a demo gameplay video, played and narrated by an NA producer on the game (now I know how to charge the shock burst), and information on the Gamestop pre-order items.

[S1kkZ]

ordered this game today, it already dropped to 30 in europe and its not even out for 2 days...
