Lost planet isnt decent, its excellent.
Fatghost said:I've been thinking about this hard.
I bought this stupid 50 dollar VISA gift card to get Tekken 5 DR...which has been out for PSN in Asia for what, like a month already?
It cost 57 bucks to get this thing because of the extra fees involved.
If Sony would get off their ass and get this ****ing thing out, I wouldn't have had to go to the trouble. Since Sony's going out of their way to region lock this PSN thing so we can't get a decent game, I think I'm going to buy Lost Planet...Sony lost my business this transaction.
By the time T5DR hits US PSN, VF5 will be out and I won't give a shit.
I'll keep my rented copy of Resistance for a few more weeks until VF5 hits.
So... you're going to take it out on Sony? Something like this? Come on... I'm happy I can import whatever game I want from JP and play it, like, for example, Motorstorm... And flawed, but nearly full BC... Sony's giving a lot here, just because one DL you'll take it out on them? Hah...
In all honesty... LP is a short game... very short... Outside of Oblivion, it's hard to get a game on the 360 that has a decent length to it... I Gamefly just about every game for the 360 now because of this... "I" don't feel like I'm getting "my" money's worth...
Resistance on the other hand has a long SP, worth playing through another time for the unlocked weapons, and getting the skill points... and the MP so far to me has infinite value... it's MP replay value to me is that of H2 and Socom, and I spent many of hours on those two games... It's the complete package, not an extended demo... Rent LP instead, because there's at least replay value to Resistance...
Just MHO...

Well just going by the Resistance PS3 demo I'd say Lost Planet by a mile.

Okay if you want to play the voting game:
1 million votes (AKA # sold at launch) = Lost Planet
268,000 votes (AKA # sold at launch) = Resistance
Lost Planet by a landslide!!! LPFTMFW!
Kittonwy if you like FPS games you really got to pick up Gears of War. 3 million people can't be wrong. I'm serious man. If you like Resistance you will be blown away by Gears of War, the two things go hand in hand.
Resistance is by all means worth getting, but I have a feeling it will hit the bargain bin by this summer, with other PS3 games starting to take the limelight and Sony still needing a strong first party attach game.

I guess Happy Feet is excellent then. Worst post I have ever read on GAF what is the world coming to.

Sony going out of their way to lock down the HK PSN store so we can't get Tekken pissed me off. It's one thing to not release it, it's another to aggressively close down the loopholes people are finding....and at least not making it public when they do so! They could have saved me the time and trouble of buying this stupid gift card if they put an announcement out on PSN that they've made the work around not work.
Wankers.

I own Gears and have already completed it on hardcore difficulty, I don't know why you would assume I would simply be "blown away" by it though, I thought it had great visuals, it was a polished game which I enjoyed, but I wasn't blown away by it gameplay-wise, I didn't like it as much as I did Halo 1/2, Resistance however I am enjoying it as much as I did Halo 1/2. I played the Lost Planet single player demo yesterday but I didn't like it very much.

Hehe... well, they give a lot more room to play as far as imports and such than the competition... sometimes when you give a yard, people will fight tirelessly for that extra mm...
For some reason, they didn't want that content here yet, so that's why they're doing it... maybe to try and eek out a lil' more PSP game sales, some contract with Namco, or perhaps it's to be released in an onslaught of stuff at once... who knows... I really want RE
C, but I'm not going to buy another sides product for spite because I can't get it in English... Eh, but what can you do right? I'm just really happy about the other region free capability to care to complain about a PSN download right now (as fun as that Tekken is)...So, you're just frustrated in the manner of like when a teen obtains a fake ID to get served at a bar, just to find out you need "2" forms now? hehe, You'll get over it... I think

I haven't played Resistance, but you need to get yourself some Lost Planet at some point. Although some people inexplicably don't love it, there are so many holy-crap-I-can't-believe-wahts-happening-because-it's-the-awesomest-baddest-assest-****ing-thing-I-ever saw moments in the game. Despite some niggling shortcomings, there is so much goodness to be had. I would be sad if someone took the game away from me.

Yeah. Damn Sony. How dare they stop people from creating accounts using phony information like falsified street addresses! (Never mind that doing so is probably against the law in Hong Kong, and the Chinese government is not something to be trifled with...)
Do you realize how stupid that sounds?
Seriously, it was fun while it lasted, but no one in their right mind should have expected the Hong Kong Store "loophole" to last.
Pristine_Condition said:
:lol
**** them. They could have put a notice up.
I should add - the gift card thing had nothing to do with fraud. Gift cards are pre-loaded and have no address associated. This is Sony going out of their way to enforce region lock out, not protecting us from the wrath of the Chinese. :lol

Lost Planet.
Mr. Spinnington said:Here's a better question:

They're basically the same game. 7 adds some GT-type elements where you can upgrade your car, and there's some different tracks, but they're pretty much the same once you're actually racing. I slightly prefer 6, due to its simplicity with choosing and starting races, since I don't really care for the car upgrading/manufacturer stuff in 7.
Both feature crappy load times. Both are kind of "meh" in the graphics department. I thought the PS3 version looked better at a glance, but I haven't compared them side-by-side. I've seen some screenshots that show details missing from the PS3 version, but I can't say I noticed it while playing. I liked the visual effect when you use nitrous better in the 360 version. Maybe I'll fire them both up later today before sending 7 back to Gamefly.
If you've played 6 already, I wouldn't bother with 7. Playing it feels a bit like a chore. (then again, after the PSP and 360 games, maybe I'm just Ridge Racered out) If you haven't played either, get the 360 version if you want pick-up-and-play, and get the PS3 one if you want the GT elements.
Brashnir said:
The biggest difference I noticed was more/better textures in the PS3 version, the greater emphasis on drafting (with a drafting meter no less) and an interesting distortion effect while boosting.
RR7 has "more" than RR6. But it's 2.5 times the cost right now for what's probably 1.3 times the content.
RR6 wins for value, RR7 wins for completeness.

YESSS!!!
You speak the truth.
Fatghost said:
yeah, there's definitely more stuff in 7, but I thought a lot of the new stuff (forgot about the drafting though. good call) actually got in the way of the game, rather than helping it. In a game like RR, the less time I spend at a menu screen the better, as far as I'm concerned.
edit - BTW are you the same Fatghost that used to post on OT.net back in the day?

Lost Planet is easily the most fun you'll have without having a naked woman in the same room.

I haven't played Resistance, but personally I'd choose Lost Planet just because first person shooters usually give me motion sickness if they aren't running at 60fps or more. But Lost Planet is awesome, don't trust the reviewers this time, if you liked the demo you'll love the game. As far as I'm concerned it's one of the best games on the 360 right now.
