What are you playing at the moment? - Page 261

F1 2010 still, now it's patched it's a bit better but even with it's flaws, it's a good fun game and I enjoy playing it.

UFC 2010, just gone back to this, been playing career mode, though i've never really understood the development side of it, my guy has epic stand up abilities, I finish most fights in under a minute but as soon as I hit an opponent who wants to take me down i've no idea how to stop takedowns or how to prevent submissions. I don't think it helps that the other guys have stats in the 70s whereas mine are all in the 30s, even if I am doing the right things, I just don't think I have the stats to counter such things.

Divine, I'm assuming you know that once you've trained a stat to 30, 50 or 70, it won't drop back below those respective levels? I much prefer stand up fighting like you, so can be beaten when taken to the ground, so I worked quickly to get my takedown and submission defence up to 70 so that it won't drop any lower, then improved all my other skills. It made me much harder to beat as I was able to counter a lot of the ground game.

divine · 28-11-2010, 00:19

Yeah I have pretty much everything at least at 30 and i'm working on getting a few more up to 50 at the moment (takedown defence and sub defence primarily).

I'm still not sure how to actually counter the moves in open gameplay though

Davey_Pitch · 28-11-2010, 11:51

Have you been through the tutorials? They've very extensive and let you know how best to counter your opponents moves

divine · 28-11-2010, 11:52

I can't remember

I played it a bit a while ago and then left it behind for a bit when I grabbed a few things on PC, I should probably do the tutorials again.

Only last night did I realise that Matthew Perry is the voice of Benny in New Vegas. It must be his first role where he doesn't play Chandler.

I was also pleased to find out that William Sadler voices Victor, and Yes Man is played by David Foley.

Couple of other famous voices in there I'd already clocked like Kris Kristofferson and Danny Trejo. Quite an eclectic mix!

Davey_Pitch · 30-11-2010, 10:37

I spotted Matthew Perry straight away as I knew he was in it, but I didn't catch William Saddler at all, it was only when I checked the voice cast out that the penny dropped. Danny Trejo is easy to spot though, he always seems to sound the same

Final Fantasy XIII

1000/1000 acquired at the weekend.

It didn't click with me when I played it earlier in the year on the PS3 but picked it up cheap again on the 360 after being persuaded by Creature. Absolutely loved it this time and as I should have expected reports that this was a much inferior version and unplayable were grossly exaggerated and I thought it still looked and sounded beautiful.

One of my top 3 games of the year

Next on the list: Fallout: New Vegas and Fable 3. Both have been ordered and which ever comes first gets placed first. The 2nd I give my wife to give me back for xmas.

****er

I have too just completed Final Fantasy, and I agree that it's a stunning game. Now, onto the next one.
