Just look at him, he's incredible
4. The People That Play
Most of the people that you meet in this game are very nice and they know how to use teamwork(especially the japanese dudes).When i first started playing lost planet i always went off by myself, so i would get my ass handed to me while my teammates were doing well, so after a while i started sticking with the rest of the team, and now id like to think im pretty good.
3.VS Annihilator
like this, but with more people
This mode is awesome. Each team has one person on thier team with a VS(vital suit(mech)). Its the other peoples job to either take down the battle gauge of the other team, or take down the other teams VS. so its kind of like VIP in some other games, except that the VSs have infinite lasers so they also go after the teams players and mech.
2. Counter Post
In this mode there is only one data post(flag) and both teams have to fight over control of it. After one team gets it, they have to defend it for a set amount of time. the other team has to attack and try to attack to gain control of the post so they can defend it. Basicly this mode is like domination on call of duty 4, but with one flag instead of three.
1.Akrid Hunter
BEST ONLINE MODE EVER.in a full game, its 12 humans versus 4 huge akrid. the goal is simple, kill the akrid so that thier battle gauge reaches 0, but its ALOT harder than it sounds.The Akrid have tons of defense, alot of health, and any of thier attacks can kill you in one hit, so if you dont use teamwork... you're going to lose very fast. i remember this one match on canyon 810 with a full game it kept going back and forward between the two teams, in the end, the humans(my team) lost, but in the end game lobby, nobody bitched about losing, and nobody rubbed the fact that they won in the losing teams face. Everyone just laughed cuase it was such a crazy match.
The game is only 30 dollars. and with 11 modes,21 weapons, 7 grenades, 20 maps and a good community, at least rent it, theres bound to be something that will keep you coming back for more.
Lost Planet had the most underrated multiplayer I feel and this one just improves on it to such a bigger extent. I'm so addicted to it right now.
I liked Lost Planet when I rented it a while back but back then no one was online at that point (I rented it 8/9 months after release). Maybe I'll hafta rent it again and try it out.
Hell yeah. Picking this up later.
I wanted 6 reasons.
Are the old saves compatible?
nope, its a seperate game, has its own achievements and what not, its easier to level up in this once since the max level is 150 now. also the original snow pirates are already unlocked, you just have to unlock the new ones.
I'll most likely be picking this up soon.
Akrid hunter can be so frustrating if your a human sometimes, cus its REALLY hard to win if your team isn't in perfect harmony. I've only won once because it was a map that was a cliff face with a lot of tunnels the bugs couldn't get into
Also I REALLY want to play the map lost technology (its designed to look 8bit) but NO ONE ever plays it.
I love this game, I played the original a lot, and I've played colonies obsessivly since friday. I still suck ass at it though.
I'm putting this on my list of games to get when I've played everything that I have.
That Akrid business sounds pretty cool, but the presence (or lack thereof) of online worries me, because this game hasn't sold all that much.
Wait, are the online players from the original game able to play with this one? Because if not, that's even worse.
Gonna pick this up.
NEW REASON:
Fuckin' cross-platform play! PC vs. 360, hells yes I'd like to take my mouse against your controllers!
Buster, you just sold me a game. See ya'll online.
Not being able to bring friends in for multi fucking fails, same with not being able to pick your team.
My experiences thus far have differed from OP, people have been nice I'll give you that but I haven't a lot of teams work together, especially during Akrid Hunter, people love to spawn camp as well.
So far I only like VS Annihilator, I won a match a few minutes ago with a just tiny, tiny sliver of health, me and that other VS blasted the holy hell out of each other but I was careful and sometimes retreated and let my team do some damage to it, I was amazed when I managed to survive with so little energy.
Last thing i'm curious about is, is there more to the single player mode?
I'm honestly not big on multi-player and I tend to never ever get online with games. So unless there's something added to the single player, I probably won't worry about the game and use my money for something else.
probably the best $30 game on the xbox right now
@trailerparkjesus
no, you cant play with people playing the original lost planet,but there are alot of people online now in this one
@angusm
good luck dude, i havent noticed a difference between anyone playing on a 360 and anyone playing on pc
@kyousuke
not being able to play with your friends in ranked is my only problem with the game, but if your the one creating the game, you could just message everyone with the game specs and they shouldnt have a problem looking it up. but i agree, a party system wouldve been cool.
@frozen
um... if you mean more missions, no there isnt. but they did add different modes to the single player
theres score attack, where you build up combos and get points to kill or destroy anything you can. trial battle is basicly boss rush mode, where the depending on how fast you kill a boss,you could get a harder or easier next boss. then theres unlimited mode, which is the same as the single player campaign, except you run alot faster, the weapons are stronger and you have infinite ammo. you have to beat a mission to be able to play it in unlimited mode
god i sound like i work for capcom or something
I don't know why everyone hated on Lost Planet so much, I loved it. Sure the story was probably one of -the- worst stories of all time, but it had giant bugs, giant mechs, giant guns, a self propelled grappling hook and epic boss battles.
Completely underrated game IMO.
i will buy this game. period. just wait.
Holy shit. Frank West is in Lost Planet? That's one reason I didn't know about.
God I still need to buy this so bad. SO bad.
This game looks sick. Whenever I get another 360, I shall purchase it.
