    Yeah after a certain point the AI companion simply is not good enough to finish that game

    And then the final boss fight is garbage and bullshit and there's a quicktime event that is shit

    But the game plays so damn good that I just played Mercenaries forever anyway

    But...I beat the game with the AI partner.

    The final boss fight was garbage though. I think I ended up knifing the bastard to death.

    When I learnt that knifing made Krauser's boss fight in RE4 a joke I didn't know whether to laugh or cry (since I used guns the first time around).

    That was such a brilliant subversion, like psycho mantis.

    For god knows what reason using your knife on him does insane damage allowing you to win with no bullets fired in under a minute, even on professional.

    It is one of life's great mysteries.

    It's because he's a knife fighter. It's a knife fight, you just don't know it yet.

    The PC version is VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD.

    I managed to mod the hell out of it to make it work. Basically all the textures were down-res'd, and all of the videos were pre-rendered in an extremely low resolution. Originally the cut scenes were real-time, so you could see if you were wearing a special costume in the cutscene.

    That said, I managed to find the original texture pack and up-res'd videos for the main story (but not the Ada stuff, unfortunately) and was able to give myself a very close-to-true experience with the game. I might be getting a wii soon, so I'm gonna hold off playing it again until I can play it there.

    That's how I beat it every time. You have to use a high-powered shot of some kind (sniper, magnum). He will easily absorb 300 TMP ammo and not die. And the only reason you can't use the 9mm handguns is they just don't kill him before the time runs out. Otherwise I think that would be my weapon of choice.

    As I understood it, the PC version was also keyboard control only, wasn't it?

    That seems... Way bad.

    Ah okay, good that it at least had gamepad support. I was under the impression that it didn't, which made playing the game sound like absolutely no fun.

    It didn't have mouse natively, but it did have gamepad, which is the way to play it. You can mod it to support the mouse, but it's very poor. Gamepad feels great, though.

    The only hard part about Krauser that I remember is the gat damned quicktime event.

    Reading Alex's article on the Prey 2 delay is funny cause he comments about the "hostility" Bethesda is showing.

    I understand that a press release should be always positive and trying to hype the product etc but holy shit alex you're commenting on what you do in every article you have written.

    I got sooo good at the quicktime event. If he pushes you into the corner, though, he will just sweep you without the event

    Missing the event or getting sweeped is the only way to take damage in that fight, which is kind enough of them

    There's a pretty obvious difference between a journalist and a publisher talking about their own product.

    Man of War would just make me think about a game about the 18th Century British Navy.

    And how that would be way cooler than adventures of angry-man in stabby-land 6

    I was hoping it'd be the kind of thing they had originally planned for God of War, where Kratos basically becomes the harbinger of death for other mythologies

    Orrrr the one where Pandora's Temple is found in the modern day and you explore it and shit

    I wouldn't, it's a successful franchise and definitely one of Sony's best

    Now a new Uncharted made by Naughty Dog, well.

    Nope, just another prequel.

    With this one, there are as many God of War games set before the first one as there are set during or after.

    That explains why the Vita Uncharted was not great. It was developed by another studio, but overseen by naughty dog.

    I really, really hate games that just get tons of stupid crap added to them to show off the things a system can do. Balancing with motion controls has never been fun. Ever! Nobody in the history of video games has ever been on a balance beam and balanced by moving the controller and said "yes I would like more of this"

    also all the other stuff that game got saddled with.

    I don't even get any hostility from Bethesda's press release. They just said the quality wasn't to their standards, and they weren't about to sacrifice quality just to make a release date. It was a very definitive statement, but it seemed the intend was to ensure people they were a publisher who wouldn't force through a game if it wasn't looking good, not that Human Head was a bad developer. Alex's logic looks to be that since it had no flowery language about the developer, it was insulting them. That is silly. It wasn't insulting, it was blunt and honest, and I think that's pretty awesome for a publisher.
