Lost Planet

Just confirmed an absolute waste of nearly 11hrs mission7 boss time in that you can indeed get rid of the bloke piloting that mech and take it up for the boss fight. OMG. ><

Emir - you should be forced to do it on foot too. ><

At least the rest of extreme mode is going to be piss easy in comparison.

No Dave. You did it right. You are truly EXTREME.

I'm still too scared to start Campaign on EXTREME. So I'm trying to get the Nevec suit for Multiplayer. Level 51 and counting...

ps. I'm not sure why I feel the need to type EXTREME in capitals every time.

[dataDave]

Woo hoo! Killed Mr. Metroid 2 on foot as well! It's well easy though. :/

Also finished off Big Nose on foot after he did that bumming move on meh. Nothing quite like jumping out yer mech when the enemy is on less than 5&#37; and picking up the mech rockets FTW.

Just got the last boss to sort out - at around 20% he turns every limb into a 500ft long sword and swipes like crazy. It's well not fair.

Just a couple more hours and I'll be on the hunt for the NEVEC suit too.

Well done mate, you rattled it before I've even finished it on Normal

You can now retire from gaming, bye bye Did you sleep last night Fallows?

[Mardigan8]

Well played Fallows, that is indeed a fine achievement.

Finished on normal myself last night and the last 2 bosses, while they looked grand and had nice settings and stuff they fell quite easily once I sussed the routine.

Am gonna hit some Extreme mode in between live games now just to torture myself and also because I want to have zee beeg balls

Overall the game was a nice little play with some spectacular set pieces and boss fights. Think of it as a game that rattles along at a steady 7 then at the end of most missions jumps to a 9 or a 10. Also, a fantastic finale once you get your head round the iddly fiddly controls they land you with at the end.

Also...

->Open Spoiler<-

The final fight was so reminiscent of the Jehuty V Anubis battles from ZOE it was like I was playing that instead of Lost Planet. The change in control scheme was quite cool but the final fight could have been done better IMO. Wasn't nearly as impressed with the final boss as I was with bosses like the the spider akrid ones or the massive NEVEC tank. Nice little twist with the Mech transforming but lacked the scale of the earlier battles.

It all went a bit Gitaroo Man for me. Which is a good thing. Anyone that's finished that will know what I mean. I haven't played Z.O.E but can see the relation. Even the baddy out of Gitaroo Man is called Zowie.

Ahh... Gitaroo Man.

Did you sleep last night Fallows?

Not one bit. On my second can of 'Relentless' as we speak.

I might make an action medley video of all the best bits where Wayne looks proper Arnie. Mr. Metroid 2 looks seriously pwn3D for the camera everytime. >< He tries his best which adds to the eye candy though, gotta give it to the fella.

Not much point really tbh - you'll all be ricking it in after 30hrs play yourselves (would be 20hrs if I had a mech for lvl7 boss ). This game isn't very hard at all when you know the score. Mind, that extensive session with that boss turned me into a killing machine for the later levels, especially the one immediately after.

Dude that stuff is crazy, i drank 1 and a half cans of it and felt soooooooo ill.

[Riskbreaker]

Speaking of the grapple hook. Is there any point in using it on the mechs in multi? The few times I've grappled a mech in solo its been absolutely fecking useless. You can't even aim at the pilot properly to take him out.

[Jebus]

Up to level 10 now, enjoying it a bit more but the enemies are getting a bit annoying, the boss fights are the stars of this game by miles...it's just a case of getting there that is annoying and sometimes boring. Mission 9 boss was ****ing superb I must admit.

Does anyone else get EXTREME slowdown when it gets very hectic, it's really bad!

It helped me concentrate mate. I only get slowdown when I'm in the **** (smoke, explosions), which is pretty suspicious. It never slows down when there are tons of enemies coming my way.

Honestly, if it wasn't for the slowdown I'd still be on lvl1.

Risk, try grappling onto a mech and hitting left trigger before you make contact to plant a grenade.

[Bleeders]

Silly question time, how do you perform a roll on this - if it's possible?

Just press A while you have the left stick held down.

You sir, are a LEGEND. Congrats again, man. Did you get any vids of Mission 7 pwnage? I'd love to see that.

Aye, I was thinking last night "I'm sure I saw a mech just outside before the lift area" but couldn't be arsed to restart the level and go check. >_< Is there some kind of energy gun lying about then?

****ed if I've spent nearly 12 hours on him though. I WILL do it on foot.

[dataDave]

I WILL do it on foot.

I'm going to get a camera + tripod sorted myself right now pal.

I actually panicked and missed a blatant shot with the mech rockets in the closing seconds which looked lame but added 100x more tension with waiting to reload whilst all four of the droids were staring right at me. Would have been ace to get that on film.

I'll give it an hours worth of attempts tonight for teh camera. I can't believe I'm going back to fight him some more, I'm so perverse.
