it's a shame this thread has degenerated into a discussion about sku differences.

i apologise for my part in that. i was just commenting on the video that IGN put up that someone wanted commenting on, and correcting a person that claimed that it just showed the 360 version, and another that was insisting that both versions had motion blur.beelzebozo said:

GAF use to not be so extreme. WTF happen? Now days its like throwing french fry in a crowd a seagulls. Just a bunch of bird brains grasping at what ever anyone throws out there. /sad
anyway ..
They both are the same. Only difference is the 360 has better AA but its not perfect and to me the colors in the ps3 version are better on my tv but that can be adjusted. Frame is better on the 360 but IGN used the one place that really bogs down in the ps3 version. The whole motion blur thing is BS. I haven't even tried MP on either version yet but I expect it to be better on XBL as usual because of the whole better set for inviting friends and all that.
Final thoughts: 360 is a bit better because of better AA and frame rate but its not enough to make a difference over all. Its an awesome game and everyone should give it a play through.

Besides the ability to eat hearts, every game needs butthole fishhooking. Zelda on the Wii should have butthole fishhooking . . . what a great use for the Wii-mote!
Edit: Oh, BTW, thanks for being very respectful and using the spoiler tags guys. I've got too much work right now to play this game right now so appreciate not having it spoiled.

Quit ruining the thread with the endless PS3/360 comparisons. The consensus is that it is slightly better on the 360, but it's essentially the same game so quit the whining.
There have only been about 10 posts regarding the actual content of the game on the last few pages.

The 360 version has been delayed to July 3rd in Sweden due to some sort of distributor screwup. Don't know if it applies to other countries as well.

The multiplayer is really bad. Sloppy animation, hard to tell if you've hit the other guy, weapons are all way too powerful(I killed someone with the shotgun from across the hall in one of the CTF maps and pistol headshotting is way too easy) I'll play it to gather a few more achievements I guess but yikes it's terrible.
Singleplayer is fabulous of course.

something really weird is happening with me and this game. i really enjoy doing the side missions, despite the fact that (as several reviews have noted) there's not much incentive to do them. i've always been a staunch disparager of sandbox games--particularly gta--but the darkness proves that i actually can enjoy traveling in a city and helping people. helping being the operative word, i guess, since most of the time you're helping by murdering.
but whatever. it's just sort of bizarre to be playing something that does have some degree of sandbox-lite, and to enjoy it.

he pulled heat first.
i got mugged right before that, and again, the solution was ramming a pointy tentacle through his chest cavity and slamming him into a brick wall

Right near the beginning of the game:
Coming out of Jenny's house, I heard these guys picking on this other guy, asking him questions like, "Where's Jackie?!" "You know where the hell he is, TELL US!" Well I walk around the corner and see these two guys with guns and the other guy is on his knees. So I sneak up behind them and execute them both. It felt so good. I felt like a real comic book 'hero' and a badass at the same time. So awesome!!!

I love it so far.. Only complaints.. wow this must be the jaggiest PS3 game I own, VERY jaggy. Starbreeze -1 Also, the fps drops here and there, but overall pretty steady.
Gameplay otoh rocks.. It gives me the same feeling I get when I play God of War, aka being a badass for killing someone in the most badass way possible.

Anyone know what the score is with online play on the ps3, is it disc based region system based or just global from the off.
i just beat the game, so time for my mini-review/thoughts
like riddick, the presentation is incredible. for me, presentation in a game goes a long way towards my overall enjoyment, and the darkness just oozed cool. from
the voice acting was great, the story compelling, and the darkness powers were a lot of fun.
on the downside, the game did have some glitches that marred my experience a bit. i twice had to restart from a checkpoint simple because certain game triggers wouldnt activate. also, many times objects would get knocked in your way and you couldnt just go over them or move them by walking, but physically had to manipulate them to get around. not a big deal, but it was a pain getting hung up on objects like that, especially as the creep. a lot of the gameplay also didnt feel completely fleshed out, the darklings in particular were really dumb and a missed opportunity for some cool elements IMO.
all in all, i really really enjoyed it. definitely one of those games were the sum is greater then the individual parts. its a flawed game, but cool, engaging, and engrossing all at the same time.
and for the record, i definitely enjoyed it more then riddick (which i also loved)

the british soilder taking his own life, to the darkness holding jackie back from saving jenny, and probably craziest of all, the torture scene with the drill.

Only games I've ever found were TeamDM, and after a few minutes at most all became laggy and unplayable. No way to see all game types or anything like that I can find in the poor lobby setup, when I search for TeamDM it just kept throwing me into a game so I'm assuming it was the only match going on at the time last night.supermackem said:

That's a good point. I notice one review, I think it was Gamespot, said that this was a valiant first experience. I imagine they could take the second game and improve on this one and it would be so much better. Johnny needs to move a little faster than what he does now an dthe darklings need to have more of a purpose. Like I said earlier, I spawned them just to hear them make their one-liners.
Spoiler question:
Is Jenny truly dead or does she come back later?

In the ww1 setting,I'm lost in the Hills... there's a house in front of me but every time I try to go somewhere there's a lightning and it bring me back in front of the house...
Did you get the Darkness Guns already? If so, then just head back to Anthony at the village

You are looking for a dude dangling from a cross. Coming from the entrance to the Hills, you head in a Northeasternly direction from what I recall. You sort of climb up over a hill and you will see the cross.

Sorry...at least I'm not the only one that had this problem. You have to turn on your Darkness powers and go to the top of the hill. If you don't have your darkness powers on at the time, you'll wander around FOREVER. Trust me, it took me three hours to figure that out.
