Normally I hate Gamestop but this is just good.So, anybody else getting War for Cybertron?
For the PS3? yes! And WHO will the last special charater be?!I guess Grimlock. He is a fanfav and fits in the leader class.
I am. PS3 version.Though I do wish I knew about the other pre-order guys in advance, because as much as I hate to admit it...Demolisher looks kinda boss.Also, why can't we get an entire toyline out of WfC?It'd be awesome, IMO

>>81293Grimlock has only been confirmed as playable on the DS I think.
If the Wii version doesn't turn out to be a complete piece of shit, I'll probably at least rent it.
pleasebegoodpleasebegoodPS2 Transformers was so good, movie tie-ins made me cry
I heard the pre-order characters were for multiplayer only.I'm still buying this motherfucker regardless, but I'd very much like to use Shockwave in singleplayer.
>>81293Wait....THAT Slipstream? THIS Slipstream?
>>81359 Yes, check the mulitplayer trailer.>>81301 RotF was okay...>>81275 Fun trailer but Instruments of destrution would have fit better!
>>81359Yes.
>>81362DO WANT
>>81362 OH GOD, MY WALLET!
>>81361But had it been a different it wouldn't have come off as nearly stupidly awesome G1 as it did.
http://www.destructoid.com/five-reasons-why-war-for-cybertron-has-got-the-touch-175477.phtmlBUMP
>>81613>can't make yellow or red decepticonswell fuck that shit.
>>81375>>81388Really? I like Autobot Slipstream so much more.
>>81613>>81616Didn't we see a yellow Breakdown character in the multiplayer mode trailer? If not yellow, then sort of khaki, but still... Maybe some colors are just disabled in color-coded team oriented games.
>>81630Concur'd.
>>81658>Implying autobots should fly
My only gripe is that I can't make a Scientist Tank.I just want to be Perceptor!
Yes, but I don't think I'll be pre-ordering. As much as I love Shockwave I doubt I'll even get to use the multiplayer that much.
>>81689I'm just as fine with the 'all transformers were the same then divided into two factions' origin as I am the 'autobots tried to make transformers who fly but they all turned out evil' origin.
I'll buy it, used.Fuck Activision and Bobby Kotick.
>>81698I'm there for the 3-player co-op.
>>81689Autobots fly all the time. That "They can't fly" thing was seriously retarded shit.>>81700Concur'd.
>>81689> Implying the Aerialbots aren't Autobots.
The whole Autobots cant fly thing only applies to the fact that the Deceptions could fly in their bot modes.Well it also applies in Animated but that's different.
>>81709The reason they couldn't fly in Animated was simply because it followed the rule "you can fly in robot mode if your alt-mode can fly" (unless you get a jetpack), and before the twins were rebuilt as Jetfire and Jetstorm all of the Autobots' alt-modes were ground vehicles.
>>81715And flying alt-modes just wasn't possible for Autobots for the longest time. Omega Supreme was the only one who could do it, and he was a giant secret project war machine.
>>81704>>81709>>81715>>81718'Look, it works like this: Jets are cool. Evil is cool. Thus jets should always be evil.>>81705The Aerialbots were a travesty.
>>81715They flew regularly in the animated series all the time. Watch the FIRST EPISODE.
>>81740I meant Transformers Animated (as in, the show which had the word "Animated" in it), not the first animated series, which was actually pretty inconsistent about whether or not the Autobots could fly in robot mode.
>>81741Who cares? Transformers Animated is scrub tier.
>>81759
>>81759I'm sorry. What?>With Beast Machines perhaps not quite living up to Hasbro's hopes, the followup line to Beast Machines was subsequently scrapped. Hasbro's next foray into animation would be to bring over a year-old Japanese show for consumption in the US, until a new story could be concocted. And look how well that turned out.
>>81759Get the fuck out.
>>81733Good is way cooler than Evil bro.
>>81783High-five.
I had an idea for a goofy Transformers fan character.A peacnik, druid-y sort of nod to monks and all their serenity. A Russian independent bot that had three modes; Rocket, large stationary tree and druid-esque humanoid form. Abilities running the gambit from plasma and electromagnetic propulsion to lasers. In tree form, lots of photovoltaic fiber optic cables act as the canopy and camouflage, allowing him to derive energon from sunlight as nourishment and hide in plain sight. I call him RockeTree.Eh? Eh? :D
>>81783>>81784Good is dumb.
>>81790OH YEAH? WELL We're good, so we don't mind if your way of thinking is different than ours.
>>81782Seriously? I want to watch a cartoon starring Ami Yumi while my transformers get all fucking goofy looking to appeal to kids with ADD?Yeah, that's cool, I'll stick with G1, G2, and you faggots can keep your gay shit out of my good shit, and we'll all be happy.
>>81818Because G1 was totally serious and mature and not for kids!
You got that right!
>>81783Decepticons are the good guys
>>81822Whoa there, Raksha. That's going a bit far.
>>81818Crimson confirmed for Classic-GEEWUN.
o/` I told about equality, an it's true, you're either wrong or you're right. But, if you're thinkin' about my baby it don't matter if you're black or white! I am tired of this devil, I am tired of this stuff. I am tired of this business sew when the going gets rough.I ain't scared of your brother, I ain't scared of no sheets. I ain't scared of nobody when the going gets mean.Protection. For gangs, clubs and nations. Causing grief in human relations. It's a turf war on a global scale. I'd rather hear both sides of the tale See, it's not about races, just places.Faces.Where your blood comes from is where your space is. I've seen the bright get duller. I'm not going to spend my life bein' a color. o/`
>>81820No, but the beauty of it was that it looked, you know, good. Even in the 80's where the Asian animators were on crack 90% of the time, at least it wasn't the bastard child of Transformers and Johnny Test, that's my only point.The story (minus the little girl) was fine enough, but the show looked like trash garbage.
>>81904Oh, I'm sorry. I was under the impression that art was subjective. Can you tell me what else is universally bad and that I should hate while I'm here?
>>81906When did I say that, you butthurt aspie, anon?I said it looks like shit, I'm posting on the internet, I shouldn't have to preface it with "in my opinion", that's a universally understood concept, don't get upset because I think you and your friends are 12 year old Asian children.In fact, I absolutely recall saying, keep your shit out of my shit and we'll be fine.Relax, son.
>>81908That's great, but this thread is my shit, so keep your shit out of it.
>>81908You're the one being awfully hostile here.
>>81911Defense != Offense>>81909Unless you're Crazy Bee, you didn't make this thread, and since I know Crazy Bee, I know you didn't make this thread, but that's cool. You can go be butthurt in your corner now, kid, it's really not that big a deal.
>>81909Your shit?
>>81911He's not really, I know him, if he was upset, half of the people here would be crying. And he may not seem it in text, but he's good people.What people here are seeing as "GEEWON SUPERIOR" is actually "That animation style looks like shit to me, I don't enjoy it." I don't find Animated style unappealing, though I can EASILY see how others would, it took me a while to get used to it.
Also "Those Fuckers, our shit.jpg"perfectly sums this all up.
>>81904>>No, but the beauty of it was that it looked, you know, good. No it didn't.
>>81932I disagree entirely, but this, as we have all said is subjective.
>>81934Continue to be disagreed with. I love G1 but I have those damn dvds and...yeah. Inconsistent animation is inconsistent.
>>81932> Even in the 80's where the Asian animators were on crack 90% of the timeREAD.
>>81936Yeah, I'm not saying it was flawless, but I like the less stylized look, it certainly wasn't bad, not that Animated is, I just felt at times it was overly stylized, both were great in my opinion though I was more heavily invest in Animated due to the story, I like the look of G-1 more.
>>81936I will never, ever get tired of posting this.
>>81961AWESOME!
Xbox demo tomorrow.
ONE OF THESE THINGS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER, ONE OF THESE THINGS IS A TRANSFORMER.
>>81995weaboo spotted
Are we REALLY having a GEEWUN debate? REALLY?It's like I'm on TFW2005 all over again.Anything with the Transformers brand on it *is* Transformers and just as valid as any other thing. The perceived quality within that is all a matter of personal taste.I love both animated and Beast Machines, and my opinion is just as credible as someone who thinks G1 is the best. But if that person says that anything after G1 is invalid, then they are wrong, and acting rather childish.It's weird that saying this is even NECESSARY. Angry nerds are the worst.
>>81996Oh, and G1 is no more Japanese than Animated is.
So how 'bout them there War for Cybertron?
>>81998No one here is having a Geewun battle.>>81995Okay, maybe this guy is, but it's only him.
>>81999Except for how 90% of the G1 was culled from miscellaneous Japanese toylines.
>>82002 Well everything post season 2 wasnt, so I wouldnt say 90%
>>82003Were there even any new designs after the movie? Seems like they just fought random space monsters until they killed the show.
>>82002But all the series art and uniform aesthetic was created by Habro to make the very distinct toylines look uniform. And all of the Animated toys and designs were joint efforts between Hasbro and Takara.>>82000OH MAN, CANADIAN WAL MARTS ARE HAVING A RELEASE SALE FOR THE GAME AT $39.86 INSTEAD OF $69.99! SO PSYCHED.
>>82005>OH MAN, CANADIAN WAL MARTS ARE HAVING A RELEASE SALE FOR THE GAME AT $39.86 INSTEAD OF $69.99! SO PSYCHED.CANADA, FUCK YEAH!
>>81998Opinions aren't credible. That's why they are opinions.
>>81998Nobody was HAVING that debate, so, congrats.
>>81938Even on crack, you should have a background other then that same rock, over and over again.Not even DBZ had that boring and repetative of scenes.
>>82016But at least they're Transformers looked like they could transform.
>>82017I'll add that I adore animated tho
>>81998Except for Kiss Players.
See what happens when you let GEEWUNNERS in? Thread's just totally gone to shit.
>>82035Why are you still talking about it?We dropped this back when we WEREN'T EVEN TALKING ABOUT IT.The only people here that are angry are the weirdos who get angry at anyone who favors G-1 regardless of reason, like you.So yeah, a lot of G-1 fans are like most other fans, they get angry pointlessly about things that don't jive with their version, but the shoe fits for animated as well given the reaction of people like you.Lets just agree both side have a fair share of weirdos who are pointlessly upset and continue to talk about this game and the fact it's utterly amazing.
>>82037I'm not the one who came in here going "fuck everything that's not G1"
>>82038NO ONE DID THAT.The only person who did anything remotely close to that was this guy:>>81995You are being a Dweeb.
>>82044Well, Crimson Ghost DID say:>Yeah, that's cool, I'll stick with G1, G2, and you faggots can keep your gay shit out of my good shit, and we'll all be happy....but whatever. This thread veered far enough off course to make Cliffjumper jealous.
>>82048He also said:"The story (minus the little girl) was fine enough"His complaint stems from the stylized animation, which though good and consistent gives a bit off an off look to the transformers if you aren't used to it or dislike the style. For him it was too stylized and off to enjoy, I don't agree, but I can certainly understand his stance. And it's not like he was saying G-1 was this bold work of art, just that he found it watchable due to the lack of what some could consider overly stylized animation.>>82048>...but whatever. This thread veered far enough off course to make Cliffjumper jealous.Amen, Now, are we gonna do online together for this since most of us are getting it?
>>82048Exactly. Which means, I don't want you getting your peanut butter in my chocolate, that's all. I just don't like them making a G1-G2-inspired game, and then adding the Animated version of Slipstream instead of... you know... the good one.
>>82051>G1-G2-inspired gameI'd say it's inspired by everything Transformers, even the Bay movies to a certain extent.
>>82051Except there IS no other Slipstream of merit. JustA racecar in a text story whose whole role involved running awayA minicon from the PS2 Armada gameA generic in a 2007 movie comic whose whole role involved running awayAnd TFA Slipstream
>>82051Who's good Slipstream?
>>82051Nostalgia goggles set to MAXIMUM, eh CG?
>>82061They really aren't, he just prefers the G-2 Slipstream, nostalgia has nothing to do with it, think of it like having a favorite Legacy Hero like Blue Beetle and then a video game comes around and doesn't use the one you like.
>>82065There is no G2 Slipstream.
I'm very interested to hear their reasoning as to why Megatron keeps Starscream around.
>>82072
>>82072>Bumblebee being Prime's 2nd in command instead of Ironhide, Jazz, or ProwlThis plot point belongs in a garbage can.
>>82080It didn't say Bumblebee was Optimus' number two, just that he was one of the first that Optimus recruited.
>>82081You're shitting me right? From the ad campaign and the upcoming WFC toys it's obvious BB will take up a good chunk of the Autobot camera time.I haven't seen anything of Ironhide, Prowl, or Jazz besides the occasional romp across the background. Hell isn't Jazz going to be a DLC?
>>82083Just because a character has a lot of screen time doesn't mean he has a position of authority.Hell, even look at the movies, Bumblebee and Prime got all the screen time, yet Ironhide and Ratchet were Bumblebee's superiors and Prime's co-second in commands
>>82084Movie Ironhide, Ratchet, Jolt, and Sideswipe are non-characters. Who cares if they have authority if the just stand around and show up in the crossfire.
Bumblebee is the plucky, kid-friendly young hero. That's fine with me, honestly.You have to remember that us aging diehards are a vast minority of the market compared to toy-buying kids and the Mountain Dew-chugging Halo gamers that loved the Bay films. The fact that they're going this far with the fanwank should be celebrated, not whined about for not being exactly what we wanted.My biggest concerns are the replay value and map variety. Every area we've seen appears identical, which may be the case simply due to viewing an unfinished product, but it's starting to worry me a tad... especially if all the missions amount to the same multiplayer-esque battles with occasional bosses thrown in.
>>82085What about Shockwave? In almost every iteration he's rarely seen, even more rarely active, and he's second in command.
>>82091>Shockwave>Second in commandKeep telling yourself that, one-eye.
>>82089Even as a kid I thought BB was lame. Mirage and Hound were and are my favorite G1 season 1 Bots.Just like Cheetor was lame compared to Dinobot and Rattrap.
>>82095I'm sorry, /how many/ planets is Starscream in charge of?
>>82098Does Warworld count?
>>82089What if you only liked the first one?
>>82099He was also in charge of the Earth outpost in IDW.As opposed to Mindwipe. Who is in charge of nothing. Except for staring at tits.......Man, Mindwipe gets the best jobs.
>>82066>Slipstream was the name of an Autobot who appeared in the Official Transformers: Generation 2 Annual.
>>82105Ah, so the aforementioned racecar that did nothing. Yeah, that's much better than a character with lines, and accomplishments.
>>82105Okay, so SUPERIOR G1/G2 Slipstream is a misnamed Aquaspeeder from a promo story. Whoo.
>>82105Tiki... just stop. You don't know what you're talking about. It's painfully obvious. Just let it go.>>82104The smart villains are the ones who get all the perks but don't have their necks on the line when it all goes to shit. Not that it matters in Mindwipe's case... his neck's detachable! Ho ho ho, Headmaster joke.
>>82098Shockwave is just a security guard of a pretty much barren Cybertron aka Megatron's little bitch.
So, anybody play the demo yet?It's alright, though I will miss the Revenge of the Fallen game's fluid, natural feeling transformations. Especially the advanced melee attack. I can't even count how many times I've tried to pull it off in the WFC demo out of habit.
>>82125"You can't shoot for shit, Shockwave!" always makes me laugh.
>>82129>>82125It's not fair, man! He only has one eye! Who expects someone to be an accurate shot with one goddamn eye?I always felt so bad for Shockwave.
>>82133Well, he got to be competent in Animated, at least.
/co/ is that way, guys.
>>82136
>>82141Hey, if y'all don't have a problem being reported, don't whine to me.
>>82142I...what?But yeah, I haven't tried out the demo yet. Downloadin' now but about to head out of town so...yay.
I played a bit of the demo. They kept throwing me on the Decepticon side and I'd play for like 5 minutes then the host would timeout. Don't know if that was really case, if it's the demo, or if it's just me. I like what I've seen so far and transforming isn't too fluid but it's still quick enough to make a difference in battle. Probably going to buy it.
>>82106Hey, I'm just saying it's the version he prefers. Having gone back and looking at the version I prefered being the 2007 version it was not so good as I remembered.So I'll at least give Nostalgia as an excuse on that.>>82108Yeah, I know, in all honesty I went back and read it, not all that great.>>82121>Tiki... just stop. You don't know what you're talking about. It's painfully obvious. Just let it go. I'd let it go if that was true.
HOLY FUCK DAT DEMO
So what is a good name for an Autobot Tank?Yes, I know we're entering "Original characters do not steal" area on this one.
I named my Scout "DZ Nuts"
>>82173Named my Scout Niazitron after the great Pakistani General and coward.
Autobot Short School BusNamedRetread
>>82183I'm going to name my transformer Nazitron now.
Playing as a scout, launching yourself off a ramp in vehicle mode, and transforming just before you hit the ground in a massive firefight may just be one of the most genuinely fun gameplay experiences I've had in years.So, yes. The gameplay is fast, fluid, and easy to pick up. Multiplayer will be an absolute blast... but my concerns about single player are yet unanswered.Hmmm.
>>82207Deliciously evil for when you play a Decepticon but awkward when playing an Autobot.\
Playing as the scout is great.I am never going to touch the Soldier again.So... does this mean that Megatron is actually going to be a Soldier class and not a leader class, despite you know, being the leader?
Soldier here, Scout sucks and is a maggot.
G1 comic Shockwave was here!The TransformersARE ALL DEADAlso no demo on euro psn...
>>82225Real characters don't obey the class rules.
Scouts with Scrapmakers = ALL ARE DEAD
>>82249No demo on ANY psn
And you tube is now overrun with demo vids...GREAT!
>>82362So grimdark. Can't see shit, captain.
>>82225>Cars are scouts>Jets are scientists>Trucks are leaders>Tanks are soldiersMegatron is a tank and is thus a soldier. Though that does leave Soundwave in the leader class spot for the Decepticons.>>82268BRING THE RAIN!>>82246If you was from where I was from you'd be fucking dead.
>>82268No other combination has afforded me a triple-kill.Shit's brutal.
>>82390I got a triple kill with a well placed Whirlwind before, that was a good day.
GO SCOUT GO!
Gotta love that scope design.
>>82225Think about it. Megatron's not really a leader, he's just the biggest, strongest soldier in the army.
Man, I can't hit shit with the sniper rifle, and I'm usually pretty good with that sort of thing. As soon as I hit the scope, everyone starts moving 3x faster.
>>82412Galvatron was a LEADER.
>>82426I always secretly hoped that TFA Rodimus would somehow become twisted and disfigured after Oil Slick infected him with the rust weapon, slowly losing his mind and eventually declaring himself Galvatron, savior and champion of the Decepticon race!Come on, you know you'd love it.
>>82393Sadly people are catching on quick and the multiplayer has been reduced to Spy vs. Spy.
>>82438I haven't really seen that. Yeah there's a lot of scouts, but most of that is probably 12 year olds going "I'm gonna be Bumblebee!"Now soldiers... There's a shitton of them, and they all hate me. Why couldn't the shotgun have one more round in it? That's always what I need, and usually gets me killed.
>Play Scout>Acquire Minigun>Camp Point
>>82439Every game I play seems to be mostly scouts, given it is VERY easy to kill streak with the current players.>Why couldn't the shotgun have one more round in it? That's always what I need, and usually gets me killed.>He still doesn't use the scrapmaker while playing a scout(If you can't tell I really want there to be TF2 TF:WFC-esque fanart)
>>82455Scrapmaker just isn't the same shrunk down to scout-size. Besides, shotty is much more effective in the close-quarters of the demo map.
>>82439>most of that is probably 21+ year olds going "I'm gonna be Bumblebee!"
>>82462I was trying to be generous, but yeah...
>>82462My reaction was more like, "I'm gonna be Cliffjumper!"
>>82467That was me too, until I saw that the scrapmaker rescales to fit the tiny scout arm. It's just not Cliffjumper without a gun bigger than he is!
> 15 & 2 as soldier, I am terrible at this game.> Fuck scout.Until I see more out of the abilities/classes/maps, I'm going to say that Revenge of the Fallen still has better multiplayer.
>>82474Yeah but Casey Kasem is still awesome and I rather believe I'm playing as something he voiced.
IGN gives me hope.http://ps3.ign.com/articles/108/1087853p1.htmlAnd scouts maybe overpowered now but... lost my train of thourt... something about rock-paper-scissor.
>>82506Scientists and Leaders are the equalizers, with Scientists moving too fast and too high for Scouts to draw a bead on them or get hit by the Soldier's whirlwind, and Leaders just being big damage sponges.
>>82506I can't seem to see the Scout being too overpowered. I've been getting 17-5 KD ratios with Soldier, just using the ammo beacon thingy + tank mode, missiles and the autocannon gatling thing. The important thing is not to stick around on your own, as Soldiers are vulnerable to sneak attacking or sniping Scouts. Melee-wise, the Soldier seems to has very quick recovery, whirlwind is cancelable, and in a stright-up fight will downright crush Scouts in one hit and a few bullets.

>hear about WFC game demo>hop skip and jump to Xbox to get it>demo is for multiplyer mode
>>83708We've been talking about this for HOW long now?
Guys, guys... This is awesome.
>>83907Oohh myyy~
Apparently there is a Soundwave boss fight in the Autobot campaign with Rumble, Frenzy and Laserbeak.Hell yeah, motherfucker.
>>83938I've been fence-hopping over this game ever since I first heard about it but a Soundwave boss fight clenches it for me, even if the campaign mode does end up sucking and I find out I paid opening week price for Counter Strike with robots.
Got my call from Gamestop earlier. I know this is a minor gripe but I was sad they didn't get Cullen to do the phone call. I thought it was cool as hell when Dan Akroyd did the call for Ghostbusters or when Jack Black did the call for Brutal Legend.Nothing to do with the game but it made me sad.
>>83938QUICK WHICH ONE IS RED AND WHICH ONE IS BLUE?!
>>84025
>>84024Man I have those messages saved on a tape. So awesome.Also I waiting to pre-order till today. Waiting till the last minute and I still get the pre-order bonus.
>>83938I saw the concept pic of Rumble and Frenzy.. But I dunno how I missed those two and Laserbeak in this picture before, though it is blurry. Blue one is in front of Soundwave with his arm in piledriver mode and the red one is behind them.>>84025I doubt we'll ever know, unless Soundwave ejects them and states their names as he does so.
>>84047On second thought, if they only gave the blue one the piledrivers.. It'd probably make more sense if that ones Rumble.

This shit is BREEZIN by 3 levels out of 10 in 2 hours.But I totally love Skywarp and Thundercracker
>>84081 On hard?
So, Chapter 1 on hard. How about them Brutes with the turrets.
I was telling my friend about the game just now."So, is it like the movies?"
>>84083I never start games on hard. That may be the problem.
>>84092Fair question to ask, let's face it the movies are the most recent piece of Transformers Media.And some people like them.
>Game has to install>It starts installing>.32% Well maybe for some reason they did it so like 1.0 is comple-->1.01%

>>84112>Create account with second email>SAME THING HAPPENS
Anybody up for a campaign? It's... kinda boring by yourself.XBL: Discosopro
>>84132I just got home, you still on?
>>84142Indeed I am.
From what I've been hearing this game isn't really worth it unless you play online. Is this true?
>>84110>>84113Same thing happened to me.I've been playing campaign on hard with friends.. Been dying left and right but enjoying the hell out of this so far.I NEED a WfC Warpath figure.
>>84148So was I booted or did it just fuck up on me?...don't mind if I was booted just curious.
>>84158Got my code.. If you're having registration issues, register on Activision's main site and use that log in at the code redemption page. Even used the same email as one of my failed attempts to register on the game's site.
>>84162I tried that, but when I do the screen gets a gray tint over it, as if a window is supposed to pop up, but it never does.
Got it early and been playing all day. The campaign is fun and escalation is pretty neat. As for multiplayer it's loads of fun but I thought I'd be pretty good at this game due to the demo but good god my Scout went from king to weaksauce. Leader Class is where it's at in this game. I tried my old tactics and I just end of getting raped. The warcry basically disqualifies Scientists and Scouts as possible threats, the only thing that can take down a a Leader in buffed mode is a soldier or another buffed leader.Man, all that time out into the scout seems to be a waste.
>>84166I dunno, I had fun sniping, zooming away, sniping, zooming away. I'm a terrible sniper but I had fun giving folks hell in this game with a scout.And did anyone else give up on trying to come up with decent original color-schemes? I just started going with obscure references. Hellz yeah, Soundblaster and Glyph!
I'm playing with one of you fuckers some time today. I have to. I can't stand Campaign by myself. Fuck yoooooooou AI.
>>84170If I ever play a game with ANY of you guys, I will shit a brick. I'm still occasionally shocked when I manage to play with one of my own IRL friends.
>>84167Nightbeat, Gaihawk (of Breastforce!), Lockdown, Ultra Magnus, SG Soundwave, and Slipstream in TFA colors....and I ended up making a bright pink Shockwave named "Pinkeye".>>84166You'd think so, up until the higher levels. Once you get the healing sentries and disguise abilities for the scientists, they end up dominating the battlefield. Really, it all comes down to how well the players can work together, coordinating strikes and actually staying close to one another for support.Oh, and to all the scouts who keep rushing me head on while cloaked: I can still see you. Stop doing that.
Does anyone know why there's a page on the steam store for this game, but not the button for adding it to the cart?
too bad Alternity Nemesis Prime couldn't be a DLC or unlockable since he'd break the game.
Got bored just being plain ol' Ironhide all the time. Primal Prime in da hizzy.
Alright I plan to do some co-op campaign, hit me up so I don't have to play with another twelve year old.XBL: DibsDaGreedy1
I've only beat three chapters of Campaign(playing on hard). It's not that it's difficult, but I'll play through a chapter and really not want to play another one right away. I've completed Chapters 1, 2, and 6.
Installing right now!Also got legends Beachkomer and Brawn.PSN is still Tentomon4.
After playing through the Decepticon campaign in several broken segments with countless in-and-out co-op players, two random guys and I clawed our way through the entire Autobot campaign in one long sitting together. Using the same characters for the entire length, we laughed, complained, quipped, came to each other's rescue, and upon Trypticon's final fall after 30+ consecutive attempts, all added each other as friends.Hell yes.
hope they make an Acree Alternity
>>84287 Trypticon is a tough boss?
>>84312Harder than you'd think, but more frustrating than anything else.
>>84289Japan, make a woman strong and self-reliant? HAW.
>>84337Awwww Nemesis Prime is gonna be lonely

I'm... done.Yes, it's a fun game and all, but I finished the campaign (with no intention of returning to it ever again) and the multiplayer is a blast... for a while. It's not like I ever run into you guys in there and none of my friends intend to buy the game for the 360, and ultimately there's no motivation to keep going except the promise of slightly better abilities and the nebulous "Prime Mode". No other characters to unlock, no new weapons, no side stories or extra customization.Did I just pay $60 for a solid rental with the chance to play as a Shockwave lookalike in multiplayer?
>>84540I finished it in 6 hours and traded it in for Red Dead Redemption
>>84540>Did I just pay $60 for a solid rental with the chance to play as a Shockwave lookalike in multiplayer?Yup. This is why I rarely actually buy games nowadays.
>>84540There may EVENTUALLY be some pretty cool DLC.
>>84540Mail me your copy so I can give it to a friend then because I piqued his interest and I must TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS.
My multiplayer character?Dragula.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqQuihD0hoI
>>84540>>84541What exactly were you expecting? A thirty hour third person shooter/rpg with fully customizable character creation?You could tell from the demo what you were getting if you were expecting anything more than a ten-fifteen campaign and a multiplayer vastly different from the demo then you're an idiot and a poor consumer.
Play with me on Hard tomorrow or something. Maybe?Please?
>>84612I'm an idiot and a poor consumer for expecting more varied unlockables beyond two characters and some replayability in the campaign?Alright.I really did enjoy the game for what it was, and since my post have gone back and discovered Escalation Mode, but the experience just doesn't have any staying power. It's like Ghostbusters or Arkham Asylum; $60 is a bit much for a weekend's worth of entertainment.
>>84620The character were known before release and there some achievements hidden in the levels that'll make you want to go back and get'em for completeness, like finding all the hidden Con/Bot logos or finding all the hidden Laserbeaks, etc. Given if you don't care about achievements those mean nothing.Also I still really enjoyed this game, Ghostbusters, and Batman: AA and I don't regret owning any of them.

How helpful are the AI-controlled squadmates in singleplayer mode?
>>84942Well, they draw hits at least.
>>84944Squad control like in Mass Effect 2 would have been a great help.
>>84981I guess, at least you don't have to heal them and worry about failing a mission because Breakdown decided to take on Omega Supreme with his pea-shooter.I hate playing co-op and failing because my partner doesn't know how to find cover.
>>84991to be fair, there's not alot of cover to be had when Omega Supreme is nuking everything.
>>85004Even on hard Omega Supreme is a push over, just keep moving, take shots at him when he's not focusing on you, and he'll go down easy enough. Even if you mess up and get hit just keep driving around, there are like four energon cubes on that map and they respawn after awhile too.Now Trypticon, he's a real bastard, if you stop moving you're dead and then he'll be a dick and throw road blocks in your way in the form of spiders and dark energon spires. You can only take pot shots at him and slowly wear him down.
>>85053oh god, yes. Fuck him so hard. I had to beat him on easy to keep from losing my shit.
>>85074I beat him on normal and then easy to get the "have trypticon smash you with his hand" achievement. I want to beat the game though, did it easy enough for the Cons but the idea of having to fight Trypticon on hard made me put it off for the Bots.
>>85074 Arr, your a wee man!*Kasumi Ninja quuot*
I went ahead and got him on normal after figuring out patterns and remembering I could dash (I forget that alot). I also forgot all about that Trypticon achievement until he smacked me at the end.
Kinda wish the game had some RPG elements. I wanna go to those bars Rattrap talked about.
Double XP weekend, niggas. Be there...or I will kinda die a little inside...
>>85219Hell yes.
Hopefully the servers won't be dicks like they were last night to my roommate and I. Forty minutes to find one game that he couldn't even get into.

Sorry for posting alot but you may want to see this: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/war-for-cybertron-map-and-character-pack-1-dlc/19108/Calling it now! ONSLAUGHT™=Truck
>>85275Quite likely. Seeing as how that is probably him in the top left and bottom right pics.
>>85275And Scattershot is the Autobot tank.
Anyone has screencaps of Slipstream or Arcee?
>>85311...For a second, I forgot I was scrolling past the Transformers thread, and not the TF2 thread.
Dear Shockwave Players: Please stop using disguise. Everybody can tell you're Shockwave, and they're embarassed for you.
Shit, yo.
>>85364Yes, sometimes you get profoundly stupid enemies who let a scientist with an EMP shotgun walk up to them.
>Fighting Soundwave >He keeps running from his shield to tend to his cassettes>I about lost it
>>85316
>>85422And then there's Sideswipe's remark, something like, "Aww look at him run back to daddy." In regards to Rumble/Frenzy running back to Soundwave's chest.
>>85439I smacked him for that.
>>85433I meant in-game screencaps.
This is the only game that has ever gotten me into online multiplay.
>>85452well, fuck, then I'm confused as to where that pic comes from then.
>>85444Why?
>>85521Because I was too busy fighting Soundwave to have that twit of a bot ruin the moment and make me feel worse about smacking them around.
http://www.tfg2.com/read.php?tid-29642-page-1.htmlLove it!
>>85360Hey. Fuck you.
This game is awesome.
The multiplayer is so fucking good! I don't think I've ever cared about multiplayer in a game with a single player campaign this much before.
>>85767When its not laging!
>finally start multiplayer>play as scout>slaughter everyone>play as other classes>become a tsunami of suck>realize I'm an easy-mode-chode and everything wrong with modern gaming today>go back to playing Escalation
What the FUCK.If you preorder a game you only get the exclusive content if you pick it up within the first two days of release? That's HORSE SHIT. Shockwave ;A;
>>86227 Dude, see >>85275
I like how the various enemy grunts bear the color schemes of Transformers that didn't get starring roles in the game.
KA-BLAM
>>86320>wham
Damn it!I understand if you want to sell with DLC and stuff, but is it SO hard to at least let the PC players tweak their configs?The game is fun, but my modest PC can barely run it on low and I can't disable ANYTHING (why the hell do I want some blurr and dof effects when I decided to make my screen resolution and texture settings completel shit?!).
The DLC is out and downloading!
>>88328DAAAAMNI just got the SSFIV complete costume pack...
Oh yeah, 2x XP weekend!
Anyone else notice that people who play Arcee in escalation tend to be the best players and the worst teammates?
>>90194 All I see is people not useing there FUCKING point...
>>90235>Escalation match>get killed saving a teammate's ass>can't afford a new minigun next round>everyone else has at least 2000 points>rest of the match is spent listening to teammates asking why I suckALL OF MY HATE
>>90460Don't blame the minigun, just shoot better.
>24 of 25 Autobot tags shotFFFFFFF! Feels like I have got them all so I dont know witchone I missed! GAAAAA!*sigh*Time to try the decption tag...Also thank to the guy who got to round 15 all by himself with little to no help and got the rest of us the gold. Thanks dude!
>>90534At least you have a reason to shoot them. We don't get achievements on the PC. Not Steam Achievements, nor GFWL. :(
>>90499
>>90585I'm just saying.
>>90587When you can take out 2 titans single handedly with an assault rifle without having to buy more ammo please be sure to record it and post the Youtube link. I'd love to see it.
>>90601Will do, chump.
>>90499>>90587>>90659Wait, why would you play a co-op game and refuse to help your teammates when they need it, with resources you will never use yourself? That doesn't make any sense at all.
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1951-Transformers-War-for-Cybertron
>>90662What has that got to do with anything? I was just telling him to shoot better. All of the guns in Gears of War for Cybertron are decent enough to kill everything if your team-mates are still around.
>>90997The whole argument seems to imply that people over the internet are not helpful, even if they are on your team.
>>90999I thought he was saying he sucked because he didn't have his favowite weppin. I mean, that's what it looks like.
>>91000The only thing the minigun is good for is taking down a wall of guys by yourself, which happens frequently when you play on xbox live with random people who pick fliers or cloakers so they can avoid fighting until they can snipe the big guys and steal major points or just spend half their time whacking other players with melee and screaming into the ears of anyone unfortunate enough to have their headphones on.I help people when they need it by fighting alongside them, reviving them when they go down and generally covering their asses when they do stupid shit. When I become a casualty of someone else's retardation I'd like it if they could show some courtesy and help me get resupplied if I'm flat broke from playing bodyguard and they have the points to spare, which they always do.If you have points use them, if there's nothing left for you to buy yourself then buy stuff for others. They don't pass over to the next game after everyone dies, the game doesn't record it so people can see how much of a badass miser you are, there is no point in saving more than what you need to restock yourself if you get fragged when you can use those points to keep everyone else alive and kicking for longer.
>>91010I was only fucking with you, guy, I was never trying to argue. :P
>>91012Well whether it was arguing or trolling I mad so you win.
>>91017Get it on PC master race, I shall show you how to play. ;)
