I mean, LOOK at that thing.
I hear the indonesian version of Peggle is the hotness.
But is it region-free?
Your mom is region free.
Really? I heard she had a very tight lock on certain regions? I guess that's loosened up a bit in recent years, though.
She's opened her mind as well as her legs. I usually make her wear the white hood though. It's hot.
Thanks for the heads up, I just ordered it.
where are the naggers
We killed them all in RE5, remember?
This is $30 now I guess. US version has trophies. Played for a bit.
Despite the mandatory sub-3GB install, there's still plenty of loading and general inefficiency. Every foray into a menu is accompanied by a few seconds of scenic black screen and none of the National Geographic animal info can be accessed in the field. Furthermore, there's no way to return to the main menu from in-game, which is the only place to view the professional animal photo sets.
Get comfortable if you want to save. The file is 347MB and takes a solid minute to overwrite. Apparently the game autosaves, but I have no idea where and I wasn't taking any chances.
The default camera angle is just a bit too high and on a look-spring, so I find myself constantly holding down the right analog during any exploration.
It's already clear many of the missions will demand utmost patience as you crouch in the bushes, perfectly still, waiting for something to happen. Don't be surprised if after staring at a hippo's ass for 15 solid minutes, you start asking yourself just what it is you're doing with your life.
Completing missions nets you a grade (A, B, C) and monetary reward ($$ can be used to buy better camera/lenses, increased photo storage, etc.) based on the quality of your pictures. However, there's no way to redo missions to attempt a higher grade. A missed opportunity to squeeze some extra gameplay out of perfectionists.
No wide open wandering, nay. You're tethered to a whiny tour guide in a Geo Tracker who bitches at you like an overprotective mother, "Don't go too far now, it's dangerous," eventually snapping you back to him if you flip him the bird and try to get away. So scratch any dreams of real adventure or feelings of exploration as he's always within sight, sneering.
The music should be turned off immediately. It isn't bad, but it's repetitive and way over the top trying to make you feel like Indiana Jones or something. Calm down, I'm not uncovering some long lost ruins, I'm just taking pictures.
Before playing I would have scoffed at anyone not interested in Afrika due to it being about documenting and appreciating wildlife rather than hunting it. However, I have to admit, one of my first thoughts on the introductory safari was, "Yeah, it would be pretty damn hilarious if I could shoot this giraffe in the neck with a machine gun." I also took offense at how skittish everything was, darting away when I'm barely within sniping distance, which only increased my bloodlust.
There are good things, but I was only in the mood to complain. Maybe later.
So I should stick to endless ocean when nature calls.
You might have sold a few copies to TNL.Quote:
