For the few of us that miss the game, today there's going to be a pvp multiplayer session on LP2 PC, if anyone wants to join it the first round should be starting soon (player match).
Lost Planet 2
Josiah Hughes
Daniel Diaz
isn't online on pc dead because games for windows?
Elijah Morgan
Absolutely not. All online functions work through GFWL is all. If you're having an issue getting set up there's many online guides that can help.
Christian Rogers
It's dead because the game is almost 10 years old, other than that it still works
steamcommunity.com
there's always someone playing campaign but for MP it's harder to organize.
James Davis
Here's the event for the mutliplayer.
John Nguyen
Bumping because I love this game
Aaron Cruz
Wish that it wasn't 1am, otherwise I'd join you.
Also, brb disabling my extraneous CPU cores.
Jose Ramirez
We're going to play till 8PM EST so you can join tomorrow morning
This thread will probably be gone by that time but you can ask in the discord discord.gg
Liam Parker
Yeah that timezone is going to kill me, still, I'll see if I can join in.
Sebastian Martinez
Why did they have to murder this series?
Wyatt Price
Hence why I'm making this a 12 hour affair. I'd like to get as many people to join whenever they can. The next appointed time in 12:30pm EST. We're still going right now if anybody else would like to join.
Brandon Edwards
Dark times for Capcom but at least the mtchmaking servers are still up for all the platforms so we can organize small revivals like this.
Dominic Sullivan
Parker King
C'mon Yas Forums show LP some love
Jeremiah Long
This morning's multiplayer is finished. Another room will be up at 12:30pm EST.
Isaac Edwards
Don't feel like playing right now, but I'll give it a bump. Great game, wish it got a proper sequel and expanded on 2's gameplay
Austin Collins
No worries we're on a break right now, if you feel like it you can come by later in the day
we're trying to revive the game for what little is possible so there will be also be more sessions in the future.
Angel Thomas
Brandon Clark
Jason Hill
Piloting this thing with two others is one of the best feelings in video games!
Cooper Jenkins
For me solo VSs are still the best, I can't give up dashing around
Daniel Sanchez
Trilids feel like the predecessor to MHW's omenflies. I wonder if they did it on purpose.
Nolan Foster
Bentley Nelson
Is lost planet a good series? I love capcom but never played these. Not interested in multiplayer, just single player.
Brayden Barnes
LP1 and LP2 felt like JapJank to me.
Let's not talk about LP3.
Parker Reed
It depends a lot on tastes. Like says it might feel like jank, but once you get the flow there's nothing else like it.
I particularly like LP1 for it's abundance of options on how to approach a mission, from finding hidden weapons to stealing enemy mechs you can approach it any way you want and the hardest difficulty is challenging but fair with a focus on speed and level knowledge (your "life" depletes over time and you need to kill enemies to refill it).
2 tries to be too many things and ends up as a worse game than the first, but the coop campaign makes up for it with unique setpieces that maintain the formula of "approach it like you want" and expand upon it with coordination among players.
Sebastian Hall
1st game is more of a single player survival shooter so there's quite a bit of action to it. 2 on the other hand is all about the action and frequently encouraged and built around the idea that you play it with others, even in the campaign. LP3 is the black sheep of the trilogy, ditches the atmospheres of the first two games for a by the numbers checklist of a 'horror' shooter in the similar vein of Dead Space. Even has its own brand of cult/space hippies.
There's also a spin off on 3DS, but from what I heard it didn't sell that well nor do I know much about it. Though apparently after all these years some people have gotten around to giving it a fan translation.
Gavin Campbell
EX Troopers is enjoyable but not particularly memorable. It's a "my first shooter" type of game and doesn't have open levels, just segmented arenas. I think it also had some kind of rpg system for the weapons but mostly stuff to increase damage as you progress.
It also came out on PS3 with online multiplayer, I imagine most people played it there, especially due to 3DS's region lock.
Brandon James
Biggest flaw of EXT was that you couldn't pilot VSs other than the main character's. Enemies had all kind of cool custom units and you were stuck with this.
Juan Harris
Had forgotten there was a PS3 version. Probably would've had a chance stateside if people actually cared for Lost Planet. Honestly it makes me feel blessed we got Tatsunoko vs Capcom of all games internationally.
John Stewart
I'm not sure if it was true as they came up with a fan translation anyway, but the reason given at the time for the lack of western release was that some (maybe the cutscenes?) of the text was hardcoded in images, meaning that they never really had intention of releasing it. If not for MH's growing popularity, Stories would've gone the same way for sure.
Nolan Barnes
Aiden Cook
Just noticed that you can play with the combined VS in mp, pretty cool. Always felt like a waste to have it avaiable in only one mission.
Zachary Nelson
All right team, listen up.
Your target is the Lost Planet thread.
Once inside, your objective is the help the locals keep the thread off of page 10. Keep this up until the thread hits bump limit.
There's no second chances here. If the thread gets archived, it's over.
Move out.

Some really old LP tech. When it comes to gameplay Capcom is really the best.
Jack Russell
imagine edf meets monster hunter but on a smaller scale and with more linearity.
Zachary Thomas
Adrian Perez
We're going to start a new MP session soon if anyone wants to join.
Dominic Wilson
Starting the 2nd multiplayer session in Lost Planet 2. You can find out where it is by looking and .

Come join us!
James Barnes
David Hill
Lost Planet is a reason to live.
Angel Morales
do you guys play on controller? the mouse sensitivity seems to be all fucked up
Camden Wright
I'm a console player so I've never got used to mouse+kb but I think there's people playing with it as their aim is too accurate, most likely modified the settings though.
Jose Ross
>game used to work fine
>finally upgrade my PC
>game crashes on startup apparently cuz my cpu is too good
>too scared to underclock cuz i might fuck something up
Elijah Murphy
Imagine CAPCOM having an event quest with MHW followed by a revival of the series.
Julian Richardson
Julian Green
Lost Planet 1 and 2 had no right to be as good as they were, something just worked perfectly and there you go. Shame about 3. Shame about 2 getting a shit port and being DOA thanks to GFWL.
Robert Reyes
Thanks to everybody who participated in the 12:30 session! Another room will be hosted at 3:30.
There's a way around the mouse sensitivity for mouse and keyboard. Though I use an XBox controller since I'm used it when playing TPS.
Adrian Thomas
We just hit concurrent 5 players! With Rocket Launchers as default weapons it felt like a LPC match, great stuff!
Robert Morales
oh shit there's an extreme condition match rn?
Nolan Morris
I couldn't beat the lp1 final boss on hard :(
Lucas Nguyen
We were on LP2 sorry, I'm spamming a mix of images. I'd like to play Colonies too but for some reason it crashes after a few minutes with a memory override error or something like that.
Michael Collins
>we were on LP2
FUCK
Luke Ramirez
Lost Planet's multiplayer is something I'd like to get going at some point, but right now we're just focusing in 2.
Eli Rogers
Finally unlocked best faction's looks
Lucas Ramirez
There's a Steam group that I think sometimes plays LPC, they don't seem really active but just the other week had a "yearly" akrid hunter session, although there were just 3-4 people.
Still, gotta start from somewhere. As long as we keep talking about it, more people will join.
James Wilson
A reminder for those interested in joining : we're organizing through a Yas Forums discord server, if you're interested but are unable to join today you can catch up another time

Owen Evans

Ryan Miller
>LPC
FUCK
I ONLY HAVE EC
Eli Taylor
I'm sure there's someone that plays it but with less modes and no crossplay it's harder to find games.
You should grab it when it goes on sale, both boss rush mode and weapon/map/modes addition are worth it.
