Mirror's Edge

MacRumorUser said:
360 & PS3 demos are identical graphically, however I did prefer the 360's controller. The triggers felt better suited and as most of the action is grafted onto the triggers - that could make quite a bit of difference to a 12-20 hour game.

Definitely a purchase regardless, just can't decide what platform to buy it on.

Oh and I don't think I've played a 'demo' of any game as many times as I have this now.

I have found the answer to my problems!!

Cheap little attachments I ordered off of Amazon could solve this whole conflict on controllers. Yes, I love the Xbox controller but i have a PS3, so i bought these. Cheap!
 
I liked the demo, but I had a bit of difficulty with the "jump towards a wall, turn around midair and jump off the wall to something even higher" part. I kept just turning around after I jumped and fell on my back. I finally got it, I think I was turning around too early, but yeah, I have a feeling it's going to be a bit of a learning curve. Fortunately the game seems so good that spending more time playing it to get better isn't going to be an issue :p
 
So anyone pick this up yet....I'm going to get it tomorrow after work. I read some of the reviews and it seems to be a short game but that doesn't bother me. So far its holding a good score overall and thats good enough for me.

I was thinking about picking this up and COD at the same time but I can't take another shooter right now...I just finish up R2 single player campaign and haven't touched Co-op or competitive multiplayer as yet.

Yeah mine shipped from videogamesplus.ca

I went for the PS3 version after all. Not bothered about the game being short, with so many bleeding games out this month and so many titles to play, I imagine it'll be one of the few I actually finish...
 
Oh wow, it's fun :D. The gameplay is just so addicting, even when I die I don't mind trying again. The levels are pretty varied. The game seems to be a decent length (but they could have made it longer....). Got up to half of ch 2 in an hour, about 9+ chapters I think... The thing about this game is that it's just fun, I love retrying and the time trials will be really fun. If you liked the demo, I'd get it. If you are unsure, wait for a sale.

*ya, there are some AA issues, but I don't really notice it when I'm moving*
 
I'm actually enjoying this game...I really like the feeling the game gives you like if you're actually there doing these stunts yourself....good job DICE.

ME and LBP is taking away my Fallout 3 & R2 time:mad:....so much good games so little 2ny to go around.

Note: I still have SOCOM Confrontation boxed up waiting to be played.....gezz

Its my game of the year and i love the contrasting colors, the styling is beautiful.

Well done dice (grits teeth) and EA.

Not all the reviews were quite fair... They mainly complained about glitches that are fixed already. But anyway, I've had some fun playing it.

Back of topic. Beat the game today. Enjoyed every minute. Speed run time!

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one...I popped it open this morning charge up the official PS3 headphones and I was on a non stop SOCOM fest and it was smooth as butter.

The reviews only seem to attack the server issues but the gamplay is as solid as SOCOM 1 & 2...If you are a fan for SOCOM then this game will do justice.

Have you considered gaining weight?

I considered it but then the GF wouldn't like that much and if she's unhappy...no game time for me....and the other stuffs:eek:;):D

Cool, i might have to pick it up but first i really must finish the games i already have, damn you sandbox games!
 
Liking Mirror's Edge so far, though it can be frustrating at times. The "blues" are annoying as hell, I understand they have to be there but the fighting mechanics aren't good enough to counter their difficulty.
 
^I feel your pain on that one...I've been playing some of the same levels over and over because of the "blues".....they suck. Everything else is cool with the game but the po-pos are annoying.

Has anyone had any issues with motion sickness after playing this game? I have read a few reviews where this was mentioned but didn't really believe it.
 
I haven't had issue. It is fun to turn off the aiming dot, cause then it's super cool! But that could lead to some issues...
 
Well i just started playing today as it took ages for my copy to arrive from canada :rolleyes: anyway.... I decided to turn off runner vision and reticule (other than weapon) from the outset.

I'm playing on EASY for one reason.. I am trying to play the game utterly as a pacifist and avoid confrontation, and so far it's working well. Difficulty in Mirror's Edge only affects the Blues confrontations, and therefore it seemed pointless playing on harder difficulty as what intrigued me about this game was the prospect of playing it avoiding such.

Already won the pacifist trophy, and such.

I decided to turn off runner vision to enhance the game for me, bright red glowing path's took away from the atmosphere for me, and after playing the demo a heck of a lot, it becomes pretty easy to learn what you should be looking for.

Turned off Motion Sensor also, as I found that next to useless.



I like it...... so far.....
