PS3 Attitude writes: "Are you one of those people who like to chat away in your favourite multi-player lobby, within Home or via messaging on the XMB?
For as long as the PS3 has been around, a proper keyboard has been the best way to handle the situation. But a full size keyboard means you have to stop using the controller and grab a separate device.
So is the new Wireless Keypad the answer to all your chatting needs?"
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them
2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.
God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
My wife picked one up for me for christmas, It's nice and out of the way (very small).
I like my wireless keyboard better because i can type much faster, but the chatpad is much more convienent. I suppose that is the basic pros and cons of all chatpads in relation to a full keyboard though. Basically if you want a keyboard, but not a full size keyboard taking up space in you're living room, its a good buy.
BTW, i keep seeing reviews about this talking about how the touchpad feature doesnt work that great. When you pick one up, the manual says that you need to calibrate it (hit a few buttons at once). After i calibrated mine, it works just as well as a trackpad on a laptop, i wonder if people reviewing these have not been calibrating theirs. (you never hear them mention that)
...but i'm not a huge fan on how it looks. It could work great, but i dunno, i'm in two minds about it it to be honest. As others have said, i'd probably have to hear more user reviews on it before getting it or doing without.
I still think it looks ... cumbersome.
It looks like all the Amazon reviews are favorable thus far...
I might buy one of these considering my wireless keyboard's batteries are dead and I don't want to feed it any more.
i agree. i like the convenience of it. the weight. its out of the way of your controller buttons.
but the keys not being backlit are the only drawback.
