Raptor Jesus went Extinct so you could have GGT #30

[jer7583]

Ace Combat 6 is pretty good. Standard Ace Combat stuff. No real surprises, but I'm on the last mission, and some of these later missions are really epic stuff. I like having multiple battles going on with hundreds of planes in the air and targets on the ground. It does get a bit confusing, but I like that it's not as easy as other ones in the series.

I've you've ever enjoyed/finished an ace combat, i'd say it's worthwhile.

[daroga]

Hmmm... Batallion Wars 2 might be another game to pickup. $39.99 used at GS. Probably will stick with Ratchet for now since I'm feeling cheap

[InuFaye]

OK I feel stupid.

But I like this Kayne West album.

Someone Hurt me, its got to be a dream.

I'm in the GGT Facebook group.

[ThatDamnDave]

I'm in the GGT Facebook group.

There's a GGT Facebook group?

[InuFaye]

I just made it.

[linkpwns]

I'll make a GGT Myspace Group if anyone is down... xD

WTF have we degraded to?

[Dark Slayer120]

Well I work during the day, so it works pretty well for me.

Im gonna start SOS mode in DMC4 tonight.

Im gonna finish all the way though DMD mode.


I finished SOS last night, Dante was a fucking beast as well. I am doing Bloody Palace to stack up on orbs for items for DMD. That should be a blast.....

[InuFaye]

I could do myspace also.

I got one of dem.

[Dark Slayer120]

OK I feel stupid.

But I like this Kayne West album.

Anybody DL'ing MLB the Show for PS3? I saw it last night and started it, and now I'm listening to the CAGcast and Cheapy likes it. I'm hoping it will be worth the DL at least...

Cool, "requested" to join.
And after finishing Timeshift I moved on to Meet The Robinsons. Cuz I'm cool.

[Chacrana]

No, Azu. That doesn't make you cool. That makes you stopid.

[Azumangaman]

No, Azu. That doesn't make you cool. That makes you stopid.
STFU FATTY
It was $15. Don't hate me. Honestly though, its gotten 7's all around. Its a pretty decent game (and I was among the few who really enjoyed the movie).

No. Sports games give you cancer.

[pete5883]

Final Fantasy XII ($50 on a system full of $50 games) - 1.64 million
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings ($40 on a system full of $30 games) - < 200k

I think it's more like:
FFXII - Main-series 3D RPG on the same system as the last 2 FF's, with 100+ million install base vs.
FFXII:RW - Sidestory 2D strat-RPG on the same system where Nintendogs is your best selling game, with half the install base.

Ultimately, I like that there's choices. But I guess people hate variety?
I hate to prolong this, but why would you want to choose lower graphical fidelity?

[daroga]

I hate to prolong this, but why would you want to choose lower graphical fidelity?Its not so much the wanting it, but being ok with it. Things that require less detail in their graphical work might be able to add more in the terms of gameplay refinement or content. Likewise, I'm ok with lower-cost hardware.

In the end, I don't give a rip about what console something is on. If it's a quality game that I'm interested in, I'm good. We could talk about theoreticals all day about "What if Mario Galaxy was in HD?!" but that's fairly pointless since it's not in HD. It makes more sense to talk about things that actually exist. ;)

For what its worth, I think the Wii has given me the best gameplay experiences of the big, current three. The Wii's quantity made me a tad lower than the 360, but when it's there I like 'em better than things I've played on the 360. That's the thing with the Wii, there's not too many medicore games. They're either amazing or absolute trash. The 360 is full of pretty solid games that are neither mind-blowing nor complete crap.

The Wii's superiority in my opinion is less about the Wii making great games possible and more about Nintendo being one of if not the best developer out there. Almost everything that they make seem to fit right into my tastes. Well, Nintendo and Suda 51. No More Heroes is fantastic and looks like pure vomit. Weird, huh?

Speaking of 360 games, does Lost Odyssey have random battles?

[pete5883]

Speaking of 360 games, does Lost Odyssey have random battles?
You bet your sweet bippy it does.

[Rei no Otaku]

Speaking of 360 games, does Lost Odyssey have random battles?
Yes.

[Chacrana]

no

edit: yes

[daroga]

And... pass.

[Rei no Otaku]

And... pass.
Your loss. Especially since it has one of the lowest random battle rates I've seen in a RPG.

[daroga]

Any is too much. Chrono Trigger got it right; not sure why the genre insists on holding to something that existed largely because the tech to display the enemies on screen wasn't available when it started.

[Rei no Otaku]

I really don't see how 1-2 random battles an area would really bother anyone. Especially enough to pass on game with such an excellent story as Lost Odyssey. In most of the games where the enemies are on the screen you end up fighting way more than you'd fight in LO.

I'm not disagreeing entirely, I too prefer to see the enemies, but when it comes down to it I really don't care.

[daroga]

It's really more that I don't have time to play RPGs, especially on a TV console without a save-state or sleep function. The battle question was just me digging to see if I had an excuse to try it out.

Likewise, I stopped playing games for their story a while ago. I read books for a good story; I play games for fun gameplay. If both land in one game, that's a bonus.

I think RPGs are just not for me. I hope everyone that's playing it is enjoying it though!

[botticus]

Finished Revenant Wings. Great game, though there are a few things I would certainly fix about it - top of that list is being able to assign starting units to a leader instead of having it done automatically.

Side quests at the end got ridiculous, so I had to settle for 88% missions and 96% espers.

[hankmecrankme]

I picked up Dark Messiah Of Might and Magic Limited Edition for $4.46 after tax at Circuit City tonight. I'll be playing that shit later. Also got a PS2 to PS3 USB Pelican adapter for $2.99 at EB Games. Said it was used, but it was unopened. I used my Edge card on it, 'cause I'm a cheapass. So now I have two.

No fucking DMC4 yet! Buy.com can eat a dick.

[linkpwns]

Ahh, the convenience of B&M xD

I know. I should have just used a 10% off coupon or something. It shipped USPS, so hopefully it comes tomorrow. If not, I'mma be PISSED!!!

[linkpwns]

A friend and I went to Gamestop today, and they refused to sell him the DMC4 guide cause he wasn't 17...

Not the fuckin' game... the guide...

Oh so you got through 9-4 Botticus? I cracked open the copy I got yesterday since I haven't been by to get Professor Layton yet. I just wanted to see what it was like and am still in the tutorial stages. Seems kinda slow starting.

[Kendal]

I just got FFXII:RW from GameFly. I am having a blast. I am also plugging away through Gun, which is a good game. I am still chipping away at DMC 4. Once I finish Revenant Wings, I am going back to Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. Crisis Core and God of War PSP are coming real soon so my handhelds will have to fight for my attention!

Thank god I got that $20 gift card coming. It will soften the blow of all these great games. Seriously, isn't this the time when jack shit is supposed to come out?

Fair enough lol.

Speaking of which, just finished disc 1 of LO. Good stuff.

[The Mana Knight]

Hey everyone, I was not around the GGT for a bit because I ACTUALLY went out. How surprising is that????

Anyway, I visited a friend and a few I knew came by and played some KoFXI. Despite them being really good at fighters, I actually beat them a few times. A little later, more people came by (so I basically met new people), who brought over VF5 PS3 (a Japanese copy) and we all played VF5 (I left in the middle because it was getting late and had to get back just after 11pm). We pretty much spent the night socializing about fighters, PS3 (most all there were PS3 owners and play a lot), and other stuff. So basically, I did something a little different on my Friday night. ;)

I might hang out with one friend who was there and play some other games on Saturday, if the weather isn't bad.

In the GGT group, I'm the black dude. :-P

[linkpwns]

I haven't had a lot of time to game. My pursuing of females and socialization with friends has me distracted xD

[seanr1221]

Went out with that girl again tonight. Not only did she get me free sesame chicken from work, but she bought Castlevania for the PSP tonight for herself.

Coolest. Girl. EVAR.

As far as games go I think I'll dive into some Call of Duty 4.

[Mr. Anderson]

My beloved girlfriend bought me a PSP Slim for Valentines Day, so I'm about to tear into Wipeout Pulse and Killzone Liberation. Played a ton of Gunpey earlier, and its fucking awesome! Miziguchi makes the best puzzle games. Best of all, I got it for 10 bucks due to the CompUSA liquidation sale. Also picked up Zack and Wiki yesterday with my TRU gift card from Mario Galaxy. And I'm still playing Mass Effect! I've got a lot on my plate, and I couldn't be happier. :D

[jer7583]

I might give in and buy lost oddysey tomorrow. Lots of positive impressions are sounding good. And I finished AC6 tonight, so I'll be selling that. Epic, incredible final battle. Really great.

Oh, and slain- Forget multiplayer exists in this game. Either people are so elite I can't touch them or the game is full of exploits, because It's impossible to win.

[Rei no Otaku]

I thought the final battle in AC6 was kind of a disappointment after 4 (Megalith was just plain epic with the meteors falling and everything), 5 (I loved the Razgriz), and Zero (finally an AC game that ends with a dogfight).

[jer7583]

I really enjoyed going back and forth between the land, sea, and air battles, and taking out the jammers, and then that final dogfight. It had no one huge enemy to defeat, but created a pretty memorable battle. And it took place at the same area the game began in. The story was nonsense, but I did like the feeling of kicking the enemy out of your homeland.

Besides, AC6 had the battle with the large air-carrier plane, and the "fly through the tunnels" missions as well. Maybe not as epic, but they were there.

[daroga]

Is there anything worth importing on the PS3? I enjoy supporting region free stuff. My Japanese Electroplankton will stay on my shelf forever. :)

After Gamestop had only 1 beat up disc only copy of R&C: GC, I looked at AC5 for the PS2. The demo for 6 was fun but I can't justify that $60 price. Passed on games for tonight and left Half-Price books continuing my Alex Cross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Cross) addiction in both book and film. Morgan Freeman FTW.

I think tomorrow I'm gonna head to another GC and nab NG Sigma with that coupon and EDGE... should be $28 + tax, or roughly what Target might make it in a few weeks.

It's midnight and I ain't tired. Contemplating some Shadow of the Colossus just for fun. Been about a year and a 1/2 since I played that.

[jer7583]

AC4 is the better game, and cheaper. That is, if you haven't played it. They're all pretty much the same. I just like accessible flight simulations, so I have fun with them. That said, I've never kept one past finishing it.

[seanr1221]

So I bought a PSP from a CAG and he included his EBgames warranty with it. If I use the warranty will I get psp slim or a regular psp?

All the PS2 Ace Combats are better than 6. 4 has the best story, 5 is the longest and has the most involved story, and Zero has the best missions.

[Rei no Otaku]

You'll get what you return.

[seanr1221]

Gotcha. I wasnt sure if they still carried the old ones.

[Rei no Otaku]

Gotcha. I wasnt sure if they still carried the old ones.
If the one you have was bought new, you're SOL unfortunately. There aren't any more of the old version being made new. So what will happen is that you'll be refunded the warrenty.

[seanr1221]

Whaaaaaaat?

[Rei no Otaku]

Whaaaaaaat?
Yup. There's nothing to give you to replace it with. If the system was bought used, then you can probably easily find a used unit to exchange it with. But for new original PSPs, nothing you can do.

[seanr1221]

That makes no sense to me :[

[daroga]

You mean refund the purchase price of the system, right? Not just the price of the warranty.

[Rei no Otaku]

That makes no sense to me :[
lol.

It's policy I don't agree with either. Like if someone has a warranty on a white DS, and all we have in stock are black DSes, we can't exchange it. It's ridiculous.

[Rei no Otaku]

You mean refund the purchase price of the system, right? Not just the price of the warranty.
No, I mean the warranty. And it gets even worse, you don't get the warranty back in cash. Only store credit.

I've gotten into fights with the management over this one, among other policies...

[RelentlessRolento]

out of odd curiosity, why do both TMK and Rei rotate their sigs/avatars so much? it's like their (mainly TMKs) tastes are easily swayed.

[daroga]

No, I mean the warranty. And it gets even worse, you don't get the warranty back in cash. Only store credit.

I've gotten into fights with the management over this one, among other policies...It seems like there's got to be a law against that somewhere.

"Give us money to replace your system... unless we decide that we can't... then we'll give you some money back." It's not really a warranty so much as buying a chance at maybe getting something if you need it.

Life a raffle where you can get your ticket price back... only stupider.

[pete5883]

Any is too much. Chrono Trigger got it right; not sure why the genre insists on holding to something that existed largely because the tech to display the enemies on screen wasn't available when it started.

Chrono Trigger forced you into a fight after crossing a line just as often as it let you bypass battles. How is this any different from random battles?

Likewise, I stopped playing games for their story a while ago. I read books for a good story; I play games for fun gameplay.
Books are not an inherently superior storytelling medium. They have just been around longer.

[Rei no Otaku]

out of odd curiosity, why do both TMK and Rei rotate their sigs/avatars so much? it's like their (mainly TMKs) tastes are easily swayed.
My avatars and sigs reflect what I'm doing currently. Witchblade was the last one I used because I was watching it. Now DW6 is almost upon us.

I can't keep the same one for a long period of time, it drives me up the wall. It's like wearing your underwear for a week straight or something. I'm the same way with the wallpapers on my computer. My desktop literally feels filthy to me if I do not change the wallpaper like once a week.

[RelentlessRolento]

at least you make sense Rei... TMK just posts up whatever he's playing at the time... which is too quick... then again I sport avatars for a long ass time.

[daroga]

Chrono Trigger forced you into a fight after crossing a line just as often as it let you bypass battles. How is this any different from random battles?You can see it coming. I get really irritated just wanting to get through a room and have like 3 battles to fight within 7 steps of the door. It's a personal thing. You need not understand or agree.

Books are not an inherently superior storytelling medium. They have just been around longer.Um, I don't recall ever saying it was superior. Nevermind how subjective such a claim, or counterclaim, would be. Books are better because A) I can close a book at any time, B) I can easily skim to refresh my memory on what the heck is happening if its been a bit of time, C) they let you use this "imagination" thing I've heard so much about, D) I don't run the risk of screwing up and need to repeat parts and having some dumb developer not making the cut-scenes skipable.

But, yeah, it's all subjective. Don't think I ever stated anything against games as a vehicle for narrative, just that I don't use them for that purpose.

[MarkMan]

I never change my avatar, even if I do (just for the Holidays), my main image is always instilled there...

THREE DAY WEEKEND...

Man, I need it.

[InuFaye]

I better fucking get radiohead tickets tomorrow.

Otherwise i'm going to the orphanage and beating the first red haired kid I see.

[gunm]

Might do some Oblivion tonight. I'm in an RPG kind of mood.

[Dark Slayer120]

I better fucking get radiohead tickets tomorrow.

Otherwise i'm going to the orphanage and beating the first red haired kid I see.

Jer has red curly hair, that count?

[jer7583]

quit that. I've got brown hair.

So i guess that wasn't the last AC6 mission. I finished the other two. Playing undertow while listening to 1up yours tonight. Undertow is really bad. Makes no sense how you evade enemy attacks. Just feels like a big mess.

And books are inherently better than games. Most storytelling mediums are. Just deal with it. Some good stories can be told, but whenever you have the option of shooting alyx in the face, despite her dying or not, ruins it. Books and movies win for story, games for fun.

[Krymner]

I'ma red-head. Don't beat me, Inu. I got a mommy.

I finally started up Final Fantasy VIII last night. Good stuff. I think the "draw" magic system is a nice change of pace for the series, but it can be addictive. I spent about 2 hours just drawing spells. :)

[The Mana Knight]

Morgan Freeman FTW.If you ever want AC5, I am selling my copy.

As for imports, most of the stuff outside of a few JRPGs has come stateside. Minna No Golf 5 would have been the big game I'd want, but it's coming stateside within a month. I still want My Summer Holiday 3, but that may be a little too Japanese for you. ;) Yakuza 3 comes out soon to Japan and will probably be a while until it comes stateside. Mostly right now, I just want Japanese PSN cards and purchase Dark Mist off of JP/HK PS Store (It reminds me of original Zelda in HD).

I haven't had a lot of time to game. My pursuing of females and socialization with friends has me distracted xDI should do more of that, but I'm too much into gaming to sometimes do it and too lazy to leave my apartment. :-P

[seanr1221]

Baaaaaaad idea there ;)

I'm still pissed this Gamestop warranty for the psp is worthless to me now :/

[botticus]

Oh so you got through 9-4 Botticus? I cracked open the copy I got yesterday since I haven't been by to get Professor Layton yet. I just wanted to see what it was like and am still in the tutorial stages. Seems kinda slow starting.9-4 was insanely difficult, and I'm still not entirely sure how I beat it - right combo of luck and strategy, I suppose.

But 9-4 is nothing compared to the side quests featuring opponents at level 90 and above when I was level 50. The main story chapters were challenging, but the real difficulty is in completing 100%.

[The Mana Knight]

Baaaaaaad idea there ;)I'm not talking about from some forum, I'm talking about dating websites. I mean, I know a few people who met their wife/finance/girlfriend from online. I don't exactly go to bars to my choices are limited. ;)

FINALLY beat stage 5 in Castlevania (PSP) :D

[InuFaye]

Ok now the f5 game begins on the ticketmaster webpage.

Wish me luck.

[SL4IN]

morning GGT. I missed alot of pages and i'm too lazy to go back and read them all so I'm just going to start here.

[seanr1221]

YAAAAY beat Castlevania :)

Now to go back and unlock the other 2 games in it.

[The Mana Knight]

YAAAAY beat Castlevania :)

Now to go back and unlock the other 2 games in it.
I'm still stuck on stage 3. :-(

Stupid CoD4. I just got the game and won't let me download the patch. It just keeps reseting my PS3. I posted the problem at the IW forums. Single player and having my PS3 not connected online is fine.

[Kendal]

I'm not talking about from some forum, I'm talking about dating websites. I mean, I know a few people who met their wife/finance/girlfriend from online. I don't exactly go to bars to my choices are limited. ;)

I met my girlfriend online. But then again, I wasn't trying to find a girlfriend. I believe that is what helped us along. We were friends online for like 2 years. Then when I needed some money to help me get through school I got a job at the local mall. We just happened to run into each other. That was like 7ish years ago when we met at the mall. It does happen, but not often. Good luck!

FFXII:RW kept me up late last night.

Now Now, I hear FoxyGamerLady is still quite available.

[linkpwns]

Man, this Moving Mountains album is hella good. I wish I could fucking find lyrics to it somewhere.

There was some "games" going on while I was at the mall yesterday. A friend of mine did this thing at an icecream parlor, where you eat 12 scooops of ice cream in 12 minutes, and you get a shirt and your picture on the wall. It was ridiculous xD

[Chacrana]

Wow, what a fat fuck your friend is.

[linkpwns]

Wow, what a fat fuck your friend is.

Haha no kiddin'.

I think it has more to do with his current weed smoking habits. Nothing I'd hit, though.

USERERROR X1000. CANNOT COMPUTE.

It's not like the only thing I listen to is The Mars Volta. As you can see in my sig :P

Maybe I should talk about gaming here? I can't do that when I haven't done any, so yeh.

EDIT: And no, I don't smoke shit or do any type of drug related paraphernalia.
I end up skipping large parts of their songs when I do listen to them though. It's hard to listen to the large keyboard parts and whatnot.

[InuFaye]

Man, I don't know why no one would give Radiohead a chance. This shit is SO good. My gawd.

Fixed'd.

[InuFaye]

Truf.

[Chacrana]

wtf, who skips through songs? If you have to do that, then you're listening to something bad.

[linkpwns]

Fixed'd.

No, that quote is incorrect. xD

Doesn't Radiohead have one of the largest fanbases in the world?

I just don't know why, I just can't get into them. I have OK Computer and In Rainbows, but I just can't diggit. Maybe I just need to let them grow on me.

And I don't skip through songs. They tend to have a lot of ambient noise at the END of the tracks. And one track on each album that is nothing but Ambiance. But that's it. It's all goo otherwise.

[SL4IN]

and link, I don't think you smoke shit, but I just see that most people that smoke alot, listen to alot of mars volta.

Nono, I understand that. I just wanted to make it clear that I am indeed not a druggie. I have no problem with people who do drugs though. It's their choice. One of my good friends started doing stuff recently. I just don't join him.

Unlocked Rondo of Blood...and the screen is so tiny :/

[daroga]

Unlocked Rondo of Blood...and the screen is so tiny :/There's a way to blow it up a bit in the settings I think. It might not be in Rondo itself, but in the main DXC screen.

The real final boss of DXC was a lot of fun. The game overall wasn't too tough, but beating that final, real form of the boss gave it a fantastic challenge.

Now Now, I hear FoxyGamerLady is still quite available.She's not real oh course. ;)
I met my girlfriend online. But then again, I wasn't trying to find a girlfriend. I believe that is what helped us along. We were friends online for like 2 years. Then when I needed some money to help me get through school I got a job at the local mall. We just happened to run into each other. That was like 7ish years ago when we met at the mall. It does happen, but not often. Good luck!Interesting story. I have problems becoming a girl's friend, not in a relationship (many girls say they just want me as a friend, due to being too nice). That's why I may look online.

Anyway, got the CoD4 downloaded so I'm good now. Took me three tries.

[linkpwns]

Too nice, eh? Well ain't that a character flaw!
Funny, cause I've heard that one too, incredibly.

Oh and Chacrana, I tried that "Hey, Foxy Layday" line that you recommended...
Have you ever been hit with a handbag before? That shit is NO joke!

[daroga]

You're fuckin' crazy. I'm stuck on stage 2!Really? I'm a panzy with game difficulties, too. Is there some sort of "moron" difficulty level I might have set it to?

[jer7583]

DXC takes some patience but it's not THAT hard. You just have to learn not to walk into the traps the game has set up for you.

Don't meet girls online. Really. Do talk to girls online that you meet in person, but the "women" populating those dating sites are most often scams to get you signed up for porn sites, men, old women, crazy women, or rapists. Have fun with that.

That said AIM and such can be a great way to get to know someone you already know in person, without the awkwardness of a date or if you're both a little shy.

[Thomas96]

this weekend I've got to play some Pro Wrestling.. Starman been waiting all week to flipkick someone across the ring!

[Thomas96]

I'm not talking about from some forum, I'm talking about dating websites. I mean, I know a few people who met their wife/finance/girlfriend from online. I don't exactly go to bars to my choices are limited. ;)

holla at some hoes (ladies) on facebook and myspace.

This must have all been derived from experience, yes?
And yes, AIM is a fantastic way to get to know someone that you've only met once or twice in person.

[jer7583]

In high school I did look through a few sites like thespark.com and such. So a little of my experience, and experiences I've heard from others. I imagine it's much worse these days especially since even sites like myspace are filled with "women" who want to be your "friend" who are clearly just hawking subscriptions for pornography.

[Krymner]

I've only gone on 3 dates with chicks I met online. One was "meh", one I dated for about 6 months, and one that was a disaster and literally the WORST date I have ever been on.

Other than that, I say go for it TMK. Its a craps shot, but as they say "what ever does not kill you can only make you stronger."

[Kendal]

Really? I'm a panzy with game difficulties, too. Is there some sort of "moron" difficulty level I might have set it to?

Isn't that a given with anything you do though? :D

So guys, what should I get? My girlfriend is buying me a late VDay gift. I am trying to keep it in the $20-$30 range.

I am thinking of the following:

Crisis Core(DeepDiscount has it for $29)
Prof. Layton
God of War (PSP)
Phoenix Wright 3
Patapon

Any other suggestions?

[red flare graf]

Anyone here ever played any of these browser-based text games? A friend turned me on to one called "Torn City" a couple days ago, and I'm just now starting. I tried doing a couple of crimes, but I got thrown in jail for trying to sell some copied sci-fi DVDs. Pbbt. Kind of boring, I guess.

[seanr1221]

Really? I'm a panzy with game difficulties, too. Is there some sort of "moron" difficulty level I might have set it to?

Nah, the remake just isn't THAT hard.

Castlevania takes patients. Now if you want a challenge, check out one of the NES ones. getting hit and then flying into the water and dying is extremely frustrating :bomb:

And thanks for the heads up Daroga, I just changed the settings :)

Now that I unlocked Maria, it's time to unlock Symphony of the Night (My favorite Castlevania game).

- Smash Bros Brawl (Already paid off)
- House of the Dead 2 & 3
- Okami
- Bully (whichever version is better, but I'm leaning towards the 360 version)
- God of War
- Crisis Core

And I still need to pick up
- Devil May Cry 4
- Mass Effect

And I still need to finish
- Call of duty 4 (almost done)
- Orange Box
- BioShock
- Ratchet and Clank
- Uncharted
- No More Heroes
- Metroid 3 (So close to finishing this)
- Resident Evil 4
- Zack & Wiki
- And a few different portable games

Yea so...I pretty much don't know what to do. I'm in a funk where I start playing games and then don't finish them, but want new ones so badly.

I have the exact same problem that you do.

The smart man in me wouldn't buy ANYTHING until I beat all those games since they're all great. However, I'll make an exception for Smash Brothers. The smart man in me would also wait for a used B2G1 from EBgames and THEN pick up Mass Effect, Devil may Cry 4 and something else from my future list.

Unfortunately I am not a smart man.

Well, kind of a long story, but it involves a 400lb gal who gets stuck in a chair too small for her, the mall we met in has a fire, the alarm starts sounding and all the sprinklers go off, and she starts crying because she can't get out of the chair. I try giving her a hand, cause I don't want to leave her here to burn to death. My friend who was supposed to walk by and watch for my signal to bail me out just passes by, oblivious to my signal and laughing his ass off while I try to tug the chair off her fat ass. When she finally gets out of the chair, she wipes the tears from her eyes and says these exact words that I shall never forget: "Want to go to a hotel? Oh, I have herpies."

Ahh, any and all females that I am interested in are out as of now.

I guess it's time to game. I really, really feel like playing Ratchet and Clank now. Even though I didn't finish uncharted. I don't want anything story-heavy right now.

[InuFaye]

You should not have to clean daroga.

You have a wife right?

I mean thats why you get married, so you don't have to clean and cook for yourself anymore.

got burnout revenge for $5 at TRU today. Will probably play that tonight alongside burnout paradise as well.

Also, a FFT:WotL came in at work and I'm contemplating buying it, but I'm hesitant since I already own the ps1 version.

And march consists of 3 games for me:

Patapon
Ninja Gaiden DS
Super Smash Bros Brawl

[InuFaye]

FFT on psp is worth it SL4IN.

GET IT.

I don't have a gf/wife cause they aren't really good for anything except taking money/bitching and complaining about shit all the time.

[Chacrana]

Hmm... so I was lookin' for something to play on my PS3 and decided: Oh, how bout that game I haven't played yet... Ridge Racer 7.

It's sooooo much better than RR6, which is a good thing because that game was bland as hell. RR5 was shit. Really, it's the first great RR since R4. But yeah, the tracks that were dull in RR6 that show up in RR7 have gotten a lot more color, much better lighting, and a buncha other tweaks, and they're actually fun to race now. The soundtrack is infinitely better as well. And really, this is like... the best arcade style racing there is.

Supposedly, there's a shit-ton of customization you can do now, too, but I haven't gotten into that shit yet.

So yeah, it's a lot better than you might expect from the series... if you like arcade style racers, check it out. West Side.

Oh, and the AI is muchmore aggressive, even in the first races. Nice.

[MarkMan]

Rocky IV and Rocky III are the best Rocky movies.

[InuFaye]

Yes Ridge Racer

The game that feels like the track is moving, and your car is sitting still.

spoilers!! click at your own risk!!

but u gotta be a damn fool for not playing this awesome game

[daroga]

Wasn't RR7 the game that everyone was like "OMG! SAME AS OR WORSE AS 6 ON 360!!!1"?

I might check it out. Though I'm more or less keeping to 360 for racing games. That controller is not well suited for it. Or maybe it's just that Motorstorm is a terrible game. Or I'm a terrible gamer.

Whatever. I played nothing today :P

[whoknows]

I find it annoying that portable games come out at above $30 anymore since they really shouldn't. I know we've already talked about The World Ends With You, but come on...$40 for it is crazy, I don't care how good it is. I want to get it, but I won't. This one will either get rare or drop in price fast. I'm expecting it to drop it price myself.

Looking at all the other supposedly awesome portable games that come out at $30 (Patapon even at $20) I can't believe portable games are at $40 anymore. At least the whole $50 PSP game thing is a thing of the past, that was incredibly stupid.

[seanr1221]

Luckily with PSP games they seem to drop pretty fast.

There's some stellar, stellar DS games that are out of print and have been for a while... and there's a few more DS systems out there than there were a few years ago.

[SL4IN]

I've never been a RR fan. I've never been much of a racer fan in the first place now that I think about it. I really enjoy cart racers though, DKR, CTR, and Mario Kart. But after playing forza 2 ALOT, I really love sim racers again.

[Nelo Ice]

A GH line would probably sell amazingly well with the DS, it's strange why they haven't done it yet. Aside from the OOP games, I guess people are still buying fairly old DS games, even at full MSRP.

I might check it out. Though I'm more or less keeping to 360 for racing games. That controller is not well suited for it. Or maybe it's just that Motorstorm is a terrible game. Or I'm a terrible gamer.

Whatever. I played nothing today :PRidge Racer 7 is much better than RR6 on 360. Mostly because it adds 7 more tracks, mixes the RR formula up a bit (with manufacturer challenges, car upgrades, Grand Prix events, UFRA events, etc.) and is the most varied in the series. The only thing that may be worse is online lacking voicechat (although online has more options overall now). I'm a big fan of the RR series, and 7 is definitely my favorite (surpassing RR4 and RR on PS2 as my favorite one originally). There's no denying the tracks which were in the 360 version look no better (and not really worse either), but the new tracks in the PS3 version as the best looking yet (especially The Lost Ruins). RR7 on PS3 defaults to the X as the gas button (which is what I stick to).

MotorStorm is just a like it or hate it game. Some really enjoy the racing and still play it now (like me), and there are some who just flat out hate it due to lack of modes and being frustrating. I will say it's definitely not a pick up and play game.

Anyway, I visited a friend and brought some PS3 games over to his place. We played DMC4, DW Gundam, Time Crisis 4, NG Sigma, etc. Fun time. I'll probably play CoD4 and/or Burnout Paradise tonight.

I thought RR6 was good, but RR7 was better. RR5 was pure cancer though.I 100% agree with you there. I liked RR6 on 360, but RR7 hooked me even more (mostly because of it's more varied gameplay and not playing the exact same type of race over and over again). RR5 on PS2 was terrible. It was a decent percentage of the reason I had a horrible taste in my mouth when I got a PS2 near launch and sold it (re-buying it when the price dropped). That game was extremely disappointed and the graphics were some of the jaggiest I ever saw.

Tastes like shit compared to others.

[karsh]

The correct answer is always Guinness.

I played some DXC for the first time in a while. I didn't play so hot unfortunately.

[jer7583]

I'm going to have some guinesses with people I went to high school tonight! Yum!

It's no newcastle, but all the bars in michigan suck and don't carry it. :(

I got lost odyssey and it's really impressive! I think this not buying games as often is really nice, because I was actually very excited to buy a new game again. I haven't gotten a full price, NEW, just came out game since Mass Effect. I used mostly store credit to get it, but it's like when you're a kid, and you don't get new games as often..

[karsh]

I wish the bars down here in DC didn't completely rape you on Guinness. It's typically 7-10 bucks each and half the places don't know how to properly pour a Guinness. It sucks...Now I wish I had some Guinness. Maybe I should make a run to the liquor store...

[jer7583]

Mo's Irish Pub serves an INCREDIBLE guiness if you're ever in milwaukee. $5 a glass as well. Hmmm.. Can't wait to move back!

[pete5883]

I require more Krymner dating stories.

Edit: Woo, new Berserk indahouse.

[seanr1221]

I ended up getting DMC4 and FF Tactics.

WOOOO

Oh and they said they'd exchange my PSP for a PSP slim WOOOOOOO!!!

Nice. I actually did that with my DS when the pink DS lite came out. I cashed in my warranty and upgraded. Pays to make friends with your co-workers sometimes.

[pete5883]

Anyone get Audiosurf?

[seanr1221]

Yeaaaaaa >___> my battery is going...bad....

[InuFaye]

Yes Audiosurf is fanfuckingtastic.

I wish I had some Amber Bock or Guinness, anything besides this stuff.
I would go get it, but the grocery store would tell me I am a year too young.

[Rei no Otaku]

Yeaaaaaa >___> my battery is going...bad....
What's with the face O.o

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Played NMH for like four hours straight. Rank 11 to Rank 5 yea.

[InuFaye]

Ive played yakuza on and off for like the past 4 hours.

Its longer then I thought it would be.

[seanr1221]

What's with the face O.o

Cause it may or may not be true.

[Rei no Otaku]

Cause it may or may not be true.
That I got my best friend to use my warranty to get me a DS lite? Is it that unbelievable?

[seanr1221]

Oh no! That my battery is going bad ;)

[Rei no Otaku]

Oh no! That my battery is going bad ;)
Oops :lol:

[RelentlessRolento]

all batteries go bad, so it's true. My PSP's battery lasted about an hour when I traded mine in (without warranty).

I'm going to try and go back to LoZ:OoT since I stopped playing it due to lack of liking it that much. I still say the 2d zeldas were more fun, excluding the last two 2d ones that came out.

[seanr1221]

Wow, actually I think my battery IS going bad. I charged it last night and it's about to die >__>

[snakelda]

My iPod last a couple of hours listening to music.It's 2 years old and I listened the fuck out of it so I gusess I understand.

[botticus]

Only played the house hunting game today, but I think we finally settled on one. In celebration, tomorrow will involve finally purchasing Layton!

Roufuss has conned me into being his moral support to stop buying games. You'd think the fool would have had a pretty easy time with that after vanishing from CAG, but nooooo. So I only get to buy Layton, Apollo Justice, and Smash Bros between now and the end of April. He gets only Smash and GTA.

[Chacrana]

Heh, I used to be his moral support to stop buying games, but it never worked... ah well.

[botticus]

Heh, I used to be his moral support to stop buying games, but it never worked... ah well.I don't think it's going to work this time either.

This is... the third avatar today?

[InuFaye]

Chacrana what is your avatar?

[Krymner]

Played a bit more FF8 and stopped drawing long enough to progress the story a bit. Got to the dance sequence and I was wishing I could dance w/Quistis to statisfy my teacher/student fettish. Plus she got that whip and all, which makes things even more interesting.

[RelentlessRolento]

am I the only one who thought the Gameboy zelda game, links awakening, was the second best in the series ever with the SNES one being tops?

as for quistis fetish... there's the internet for that.

[jer7583]

Quistis is all like "Hey they fired me so I'm not your teach anymore, wanna play with my whip?"

and then Squall is all like "My penis was lost in a fire I'm going to go to my room alone"

FF8 lol.

[Krymner]

The only GB Zelda I played was Minish Cap, which I thought was ok, but it wasn't no Link to the Past.

And Jer, glasses+whip+teacher = hawt.

[RelentlessRolento]

minish cap was the worst 2d zelda IMHO... it was way too shallow.


also, nintendo should consider doing some 2d zeldas as WiiWare.

[jer7583]

I've played through Link's Awakening lots. Love that game. I've never played the DX version though.

[Krymner]

Yeah, shallow. That's the word I was looking for. I thought it was way easy, and especially lacking in the puzzle department.

Well, I'm off to work. Look forward to a new GGT in the morning.

[seanr1221]

Minish cap and Phantom Hourglass are the only two zeldas I haven't beaten.

[RelentlessRolento]

if you are wondering what Chacrana's avatar is, I don't know but it definitely is related to this:

as for quistis fetish... there's the internet for that.Link's Awakening is tied with Zelda 1 as my favorite Zelda. Still haven't gotten around to LttP, one day I will play through it on VC.

[jer7583]

Krymner: You should look into some of the low level playthrough guides, especially on the NeoGAF-"Gaf Plays FF8" thread. Since the enemies the game throws at you are scaled to your level, running away from and carding every enemy you can makes the game a cakewalk. Especially with clever junction use, I kill most bosses with one or two regular attacks and have yet to use a GF in battle. I'm 20 hours in and just got to fisherman's wharf- nobody in my party is over level 15, most are level 10ish. Makes for a unique experience.

The part where the galbadian soldiers come to fisherman's wharf, and the mayor is all like "i'll go talk to them" and then squall's thought bubble comes up with "He's dead." makes me laugh.

[The Mana Knight]

I played CoD4 online today. Wow that game really rocks. I'm definitely glad I bought it.

[RelentlessRolento]

RR- What the hell was that?

I have no fucking idea. Lets just say I have a habit of finding alot of random shit.

Like this....

Good going (on both things) DMC4 is greatness and the Slim is much better than the original for various reasons IMO.

This is... the third avatar today?
Second, and it's from the same game. Doesn't count. I wanted the same person to be in the sig and avatar.
Chacrana what is your avatar?
Chacrana's avatar is from Hellsing. It's Alexander Anderson. Does no one watch good anime anymore? And the clip RR posted is from Full Metal Panic Fumoffu. I hate FMP...

[red flare graf]

I didn't think anyone watched anime anymore..

[Rei no Otaku]

I didn't think anyone watched anime anymore..
With the shit they pump out nowadays I wouldn't be surprised. Why do you think I stopped really posting in the anime thread. All it was about was what shitty Shounen Jump show was on this week.

[pete5883]

Hellsing put me to sleep.

[The Mana Knight]

I still like anime, but there's no denying my watching is way down due to limited free time.

[Rei no Otaku]

Hellsing put me to sleep.
That boggles my mind.

[daroga]

Finally. Someone else who doesn't like OoT. Thought I was the only one.OoT is a foggy, muddy mess.

It was amazing and set all sorts of standards when it hit originally, but it's the classic case of games just not aging well (as is true with almost all N64 titles save for Mario 64, Star Fox 64, and maybe Mario Kart 64).

Twilight Princess just feels like the game OoT was trying to be, so since I've beaten that, I've got zero drive to try to slug through its N64 counterpart.

Played some R&C: GC. That game really holds up well and looks very nice on the PS3 upscaled. I love the zaniness of those games. Looking forward to slowing working my way through all of them over the next few months.

[Rei no Otaku]

Okami felt like the game Twilight Princess was trying to be. ;)

[whoknows]

Okami felt like the game Twilight Princess was trying to be. ;)

Which makes sense since I couldn't get into either Okami or Twilight Princess but loved OoT :lol:

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Not much gaming tonight; I've been downloading all my crap off of this computer in preparation for the new PC tomorrow. I did download "Dream On", though, so maybe I'll play that later.

EDIT: Oooo, Heathers is on. Christian Slater is totally batshit.

[InuFaye]

I have got to be getting close to the end of yakuza.

Hoos got next?

What part are you at?

[linkpwns]

I enjoyed Ocarina of Time so much more than Twilight Princess.

[whoknows]

I enjoyed Ocarina of Time so much more than Twilight Princess.
IMO OoT was so great at the time because it was something new. They really haven't done much gameplay-wise to Zelda since. Not to mention as far as story goes, if you've played one of the main Zelda's you pretty much know what the story is and since OoT was my first I happen to like that one best, besides that, the beginning of Twilight Princess was so agonizingly boring I ended up shelving it and later trading it.

[Azumangaman]

I have no fucking idea. Lets just say I have a habit of finding alot of random shit.
FMP Fumoffu. Rei already said it though. That show is unbelievably hysterical.
I'm a pretty big anime junkie myself, around 275 DVDs...

[Kendal]

Gun rules. Well worth my $7.50 or whatever I paid. The story is pretty good and the final fight is bad ass!

[Dark Slayer120]

I like almost all the Zeldas. Peeps are crazy.

[Rei no Otaku]

Have over 400 myself, at last count.

[gunm]

Yikes, time for a new thread already?

And I stopped watching anime a while ago too.

Last one I saw was Appleseed Ex Machina. Seems I only watch the big budget movies nowadays...

I'm really in the mood for Rock Band drumming, but the kiddies just went to bed and the wife wants to watch 48hours Mystery. Guess it ain't happenin'. Maybe I'll crack open a bottle of wine or something. :p

[Dark Slayer120]

Good god.

[InuFaye]

Just Finished Yakuza.

Everyone should play that game, for the story alone.

Its one of the best told in a game.

I Love It and cant wait for number 2.
