Mechship Troopers: Extreme Condition
Yes, today is day 420. Don't think I'll be celebrating it in any particular fashion.
On Friday I picked up Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, the Collector's Edition. What a January jem. Along with all the new friend requests I've been getting (see below post), I've been getting a bunch of messages asking "How's Lost Planet? Is it any good?" Short answer: Yes.
As the post title would suggest, the game is MechAssault, crossed with Starship Troopers, taking place on (sorry Dan), Hoth. I'm having a lot of fun but only a few missions in (I'm playing on Hard in preparation for Extreme). The standard controls are alright, but the two alternatives closely resemble those found in Gears of War, so I'm using scheme B for the time being. When cycling through the zoom, you can go first person, but your situational awareness is greatly decreased from that view. Still, I think this is a very entertaining game and the achievements seem alright.
Online is fun, but I need to get some friends in some games to play with, as the random folks aren't exactly the most civil, and playing on a Japanese server isn't providing that "LAN" feeling. As time progresses it shouldn't be a problem to get some familiar faces in some online matches.
In any case, send me a message and I'll see if we can throw down in the snow (down).
