I bought the game today and played it for 5 hours and I fucking love it.
I can't wait to keep playing it, the controls are not janky at all and the game is not an 8th as hard as everyone says.
This is demon's souls al over again.

Lost Planet 2
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released May 11, 2010
In the follow-up to Lost Planet, players explore new environments as they see the story through the perspective of different groups of pirates trying to survive on E.D.N. III.
I don't know what game the reviewer are playing.

" This is 'Brad's Lost Planet 2 review was....bad Squared' But seriously, OP is right this game is fucking great! And I am openly bias, was before the release and still am. It's just a different kind of game. The more I play the more I'm confused by all the reviews - it honestly seem like no one took the fucking time to 1) learn how to play the game 2) played the game coop with a team that was working together. "Hell the AI is not even that bad they beat to a data post a few times.
well i think this is a RE5 thing all over again, to some this game will be great it all depends on how you play it. I would say anyone who enjoyed the single player of the first game might not like this one. Or on the flip side if your into coop story modes this may be the game for you. But i still think it is a flawed game and not for me but to each his own.

"Since most reviews get the game before release, the servers are not live (or not populated)... so no online co-op. So if you want to test out the online, you are limited to playing with developers in controlled circumstances. And most of the reviewers have noted that it takes some gameplay quirks from Monster Hunter so the know how to play it... it's basically Monster Hunter with guns.
I'm trying to get the Demon's Souls reference? That game is appreciated by those who can deal with the torture for the reward, myself being one of them. Demon's Souls runs smoothly, looks good and controls fine some reviewers couldn't deal with the difficulty due to the short time required to review it. So dumping 6 hours into 1-1 was a bad idea and it was reviewed poorly due to that.
" @Abyssfull: Reviewers with a plural. Defending Brad's opinion entails defending this guy's opinion, so stop fellating that retarded review. "Lmao just stfu you elitist ass.
I'm hardly ''fellating'' Brad's review. Its not like I said trophyhunters opinion was ''wrong'' either. I haven't played the game so I can't say which one I agree with, it's still a nuisance to see more of this ''WTF THIS GAME IS GREAT, ALL REVIEWS WHO SAY OTHERWISE PLAYED DIFFERENT GAME!''.
Plus it's clearly more aimed at Brad's review over the complaints of it being called ''janky'' and referencing Demon' Souls.
If you don't like it then you aren't obligated to be here.
Edit: except for the other people derailing the thread in the same way. Gj giantbomb.
I havent played much of the single player and but about 5-6 hours into multiplayer and im enjoying ti so far. But since review's dont really sway me much (GB gave AvP a low review and i enjoyed the single player in it) I never get why people feel the need however to rush to defend a game just because it got a low score...in the end it doesnt change the opinion of the person who reviewed it or the people who agree with its score.
A thread can be pushed towards a better place instead of just wallowing in snark.
I have big issues with the Battle Gauge and some of the design choices. It should have been better in my opinion. It would be really easy to improve the experience just by tweaking the way a few things are handled: checkpoints, battle gauge, menus, game-player communication, etc.
" @Cube said:I love it when nerds jump on someone like this." @Ace829 said:Let me take a stab in the dark here: You're a GB fanboy, you haven't played the game and you explicitly trust reviews and only play games that get a 9.5 or higher. Or you could try forming your own opinions. "" Is this thread the sequel to the thread "Brads Lost Planet 2 review was...bad"? "In similar fashion to Lost Planet 2, it's a shitty sequel. "
Anyone who's seen me post knows I'm the furthest thing from a GB fanboy.
And because I think LP2 looks shitty, didn't like the first one at all, I only trust 9.5 reviews? Where in the fuck did you pull that logic from?
Grow a pair and don't jump on others when you're clearly insecure about your own opinion. Kind of ironic to tell me to "form my own opinion", when my opinion clearly upsets you.
I don't have to play LP2 to know it's not my game, and it looks shitty.
Another thing don't get a lot of the complaints about the control scheme and prioritising animations, etc unless one mindlessly compares it to Gears and other Western shooters. In my time with Lost Planet I found it quite easy to play.
" @Subject2Change: It's akin to Demon Souls in that the staff dismissed it because they didn't bother to adjust to the mechanics and controls. Lost Planet 2 is another instance of a game apparently not playing easily or intuitive enough thus leading to it being perceived as bad or too difficult. "At least Vinny gave Demon's Souls a go, and I respect him from that. The rest of the crew just shit on it without even playing it or taking the time to.
As predicted, this thread isn't headed anywhere good. Informed opinions on Lost Planet, anyone?
@Cube: But I want to - go play Dudebro, forums aren't gradeschool where the only thing required is participation. If you aren't interested in the series or haven't played LP2 then you should manner up and GTFO :(
he admitted as much already.
it's safer to just assume anyone who doesn't link their profile to at least one of either steam,wow,xbl is probably just here to troll.
Anything I say is of course my opinion, and I don't have to follow some stupid ass process to make my opinion "informed". I don't need to play it, I don't need to read any reviews, if it looks shitty to me, it looks shitty.
I gave lost planet a chance and hearing they didn't fix the broken ass controls only strengthens my view that LP2 is an unnecessary sequel. If you're so comfortable with your opinion, others opinions shouldn't bother you, much less "uninformed" opinions.
After all, they're "worthless"...right?
