Wow, I feel slightly less comfortable posting in this GGT then I would sitting next to Gary Glitter on that flight to Hong Kong

(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7572477.stm)

Well I finally got completely done with Bully last night, there's only 2 cheesemints I don't have and I don't think I'd ever get them. Excellent game though, really enjoyed it.

Think I'll play through C&C3 next.

It takes a while to get a hang of the sattelite placing parts of the game. Think of it more like a Ikaruga style game where remembering patterns is helpful, and placing your sattelites strategically for each wave. I think the game is a blast, I played a few hours last night right when it went up.

Slowly eating away those huge waves of enemies and getting max multipliers is so awesome. Also the game is 100x better with the vintage skin.

$75 is tough to resist for my slim PS2 - Especially since I bought it for $50 3 years ago and have gotten a ton of use out of it.

Just wish 80GB BC was more reliable..

the_punisher
08-20-2008, 03:08 PM
80 GB MGS4 is being discontinued, and an 80 GB core and 160 GB PS3 with Uncharted is going to become the norm.

NETIHER HAVE PS2 BC. If you want it, better get it now (TRU 20% off coupon could work well xD).

jer7583
08-20-2008, 03:15 PM
Yeah I got one when MGS4 came out. It doesn't seem that they'll ever improve the BC, though. Meaning Yakuza and Tekken Tag will never work on my 80GB, those are the two games I own that don't work right.

crzyboy88
08-20-2008, 03:42 PM
I just hope that the next-gen systems have flawless BC. But, by the looks of things, the companies would manipulate it in someway so that it would involve us spending more money...

The Heavy Rain gameplay reveal wasn't that impressive to me.

I wasn't impressed either...or surprised that it was full of QTE's...mainly because it's by the people that did Indigo Prophecy.

I really liked that game though, so I'm definitely willing to give this game a shot.

Just tried my copy of The Club that came from gamefly for $15, it seems ok, deffo worth $15 from the 10 mins I played.

Agreed on that Prey deal, a steal at $3. I really enjoyed Prey.

I can't believe Chacrana ever told anyone not to be negative.

There's going to be a ton of negativity when a game is hyped for 10 years by arguably the biggest douchebag in game development and then it finally comes out and ends up sucking.
I think we all know this game has not actually been in development for 10 years.

It is a full install disk. It is something with this PC. I know how to do this normally and I have done many a reformat and reinstalls with this very disk. I have seen a lot of weird problems in my day, but none where I couldn't delete a partition.

Hard to say then without more info. Did you drop into BIOS to check the boot sequence? Mebbe it's trying to run stuff off the HDD. Mebbe a USB optical drive should be used instead. Anyways, that's the last I'll post about it, this bein' GGT an' all.

Speaking of PCs, C&C Red Alert is looking interesting. I'm so sick of RTS though, and I think I'll just stick with SC2 for now.

I think I would like Pub Games more if the losing wasn't tied into your Fable II character. I could potentially see myself wasting a lot of time with Fortune's Tower and Keystone because I do like Black Jack and Craps style games in RL.

Because you have to grind out "points" as well as cash in order to get into any of the real money-making tables, I think that is killing a lot of the fun I think I would otherwise be having.

But glitch aside I never do win anything from the other 2 games. Fortunes Tower seems to be the only game you can actually win at. Seemingly the only way to make any money in SpinnerBox is to make something on your first few spins then cash out. If you just keep spinning you'll just run out of money eventually. I don't really bother with Keystone.

I swear the whole point of that game is just to get you in debt, and I would be were it not for the glitch. It's a shame the game thats glitched is the one you could probably win some money legit. The stupid points/levelling system is annoying as well.

It's ok for free but I'd have never paid $10 or even $5 for it.

Playing through Mega Man 1 on the VC. Beat everyone but Guts Man and Ice Man. I'm can't get past the floating/shooting platforms on Ice Man's level. I'm getting closer, but once those bird things start flying in, it's over.

I'll probably switch to Guts Man this afternoon and give him a go.

After starting out completely horribly, I got into a groove and felt pretty good about how I was playing - until I hit Ice Man.

I can't wait to face Yellow Devil again. It will be our first meeting since around '88. I didn't use the pause glitch then (didn't know about it) and I won't use it this time either!

You can get some decent cash with spinnerbox and keystone -- ketysone, just bet most of the arch... 9/10 of the time you'll come up with a godo 200+ of what you bet. Spinnerbox, just pick a game with a high limit and roll until you hit the jackpot -- if i wasn't trying to go for the unlock all games 'cheeeez i would've stopped and had made about 10k...

Here's my thoughts on the FU demo.

Demo was dissapointing. It's a pretty bad action game with a fancy effects/license paint job put over it. The combat is just dull and lacks challenge. Even the force powers gimmick gets old quick, because you're basically just throwing things around, except it's not as fun as it was in Psi-Ops or Half Life 2.

The targeting is very innacurate and the camera sucks. It's too zoomed in to see all the cool stuff you're doing, and doesn't react quickly enough to everything going on.

Even worse is the lightsaber stuff isn't nearly as good as Lucasarts' own Jedi Knight games. It should have been similar to those with the new force things added in, and a little more ninja gaiden/DMC style fighting. As it is, it's a bad God of War clone that lets you throw people around. The shallow Quick Time Event at the end of the demo was the punctuation to my increasing "meh" feelings on the game.

Throwing enemies around was fun, the first few times, but it's not going to make a $60 purchase worthwhile. Add that there's no multi or co-op and hopefully the full game has a LOT more depth/challenge or this is going to be quickly limited to the kids table.

It's pretty bad, and I think a lot of people are going to get sucked in by the initial flash and get bored quick. Expect lots of used/resold copies by christmas.

The things I enjoyed were seeing the glass shatter the few times there was glass, and picking up a dude and throwing him around. Those things cease to be fun after 2-3 times. I just think it's a really shallow experience that's getting by on its license and the gimmick.

all you need for a max bet thing is a single table that has a range you can bet in fortune's tower... as soon as you get the 15-60 table or whatever it is, you can bet 15 and win as though you wagered 60. once you get the 150-1500 fortune's tower game (that's the last one) you can clean up -- I made about 30k in 5 minutes earlier, so I could go back and finish unlocking the spinnerbox and keystone games.

Tables are unlocked based upon 2 things:
(1) Points earned in that particular game (i.e. unlocked at 150000 points in tower)
(2) Your gambler rating thing reaches a certain star level (a lot unlocks at 3 stars).

Bet more, you level up/unlock games faster... so if there's a game where you can go bet large sums per hand/spin (you can do like... 6000 a roll in some of the keystone games), do that until your star rating goes up.

I don't think a single one of my friends has a PS3 to play online, they all have 360
Lots of great exclusives, definitely more games

Blu-ray

No RROD
I can still play 360 whenever as all my friends have it.

I liked Rez over Braid in style, but it seemed too easy.
I wish I got more of Braid in the demo, it's a short experience. but the entire game is apparently short too
Pac-Man CE was fun, Def Jam Icon wasn't.

and finally beat Warioware: sm today. Still working on CoD2.

GoW2 is the only 360 exclusive I have on my radar.
But the reason I quoted this is two fold:
(1)no RROD - see above -- though I hear if you have one of the newer models, the failure rate is less.
(2) trophies suck. they have this feeling like some executive got tired of hearing about the 360's achievements and didn't give a fuck enough to make something equal or better, but just slapped some fresh paint on the cheapest knockoff you can find and put it in the patch.

Free online is nice though -- I never had a problem when I was playing Resistance online, though it's the only title I've tried.

But the reason I quoted this is two fold:
(1)no RROD - see above -- though I hear if you have one of the newer models, the failure rate is less.
(2) trophies suck. they have this feeling like some executive got tired of hearing about the 360's achievements and didn't give a fuck enough to make something equal or better, but just slapped some fresh paint on the cheapest knockoff you can find and put it in the patch.


u sure that ur HDD didnt just die? thats what has been happening a while back.

Gamerscore AND trophies suck...they are worthless...but at least you cant glitch trophies. and at least you are able to display them when Home comes out.

the only game that gots me wanting to keep my 360 is Gow I and II, thats it....and maybe if the Gundam game comes stateside....idky, but i just hate my 360 *beats it with the controller*

Thank you guin. I can't post in Chac's GGTs because it makes me feel uncomfortable.

So my Staples got 5 copies of Too Human today. Wait for after Christmas and they will be dirt cheap because we will stop carrying XBOX. I can hook some people up. That is the most gaming related activity I have had today. Bah hum bug.

BCR, Ikaruga, and Pacman CE are totally worth the cost of admission.

I thought Braid and Rez were vastly overrated, especially Braid @ $15.

Force Unleashed demo was kind of cool.

Never been interested in the star wars games...lot of xbla games catch my interest though ;)

Any word on if Castle Crashers will have a single player or its all multi? (I've been out of the loop on this game - probably sound like an idiot for asking)

Because it doesn't sell. When people come into a Staples (in Canada) they don't think, "Ill go get some paper, ink, and a 360 Elite! I have found shopping nirvana!"

Not just multi. Single player exists, to my knowledge.

Yes. The bluray drive controller ate it. Which is apparently a known issue on 60gb models. I could play and download PSN games, no problem, but the drive refused to spin/read anything.

Problem on your end Mr. Walrus. I don't work at CC. And Staples just started carrying Xbox products. We don't even have a permanent shelf spot for the stuff.

edit: we get tons of weird crap in the back to school and holiday seasons that never sees the light of day any other time of the year. I am just assuming 360 will be the same.

corrosivefrost
08-21-2008, 08:18 PM
I second the question.

This is either going to be massive news or a colossal misunderstanding (probably the latter), because there's no fucking way that Circuit City would just drop the 360 (or any of the other consoles) for no reason.

Uh... he works at Staples, if I understood his post.
And they would stop carrying stuff for the same reason Kay-Bee Toys did... they don't move enough of the units to justify retaining stock.

While I do agree that they were creepy and morally questionable, these days there are equivalent or worse subject matter on broadcast TV. Sorry, just my half, only-two-thirds-copper-based cents.

I love it. It's officially my new favorite podcast (other than CAGcast of course :)). After today's show I went back and listened to some old ones. The 11/1/07 show has a lot of hilarious stuff in it. The best being a Hero of the Internet segment where Shawn reads (in his nerd voice) a letter from some freaky Nintendo fan who wants to gather a group of people together to go find Miyamoto with him to ask him if Zelda is real.

I remember that one. It became my favourite podcast around the same time Chuff Love was introduced. Hilarious and great conversation about gaming industry. If you haven't listened before, listen to last weeks then this weeks. Then you will have a good idea of how awesome the show is.

In this instance the title suggestion was kinda nasty and not appropriate. The trend in some of the more recent GGT and Fighting Thread titles has been going down towards a more raunchy and even exclusionary element and it just isn't necessary. (I know you guys, I know you weren't meaning anything really. But not everyone has that advantage, and the two current titles were more than slightly offensive to some of the wimmenfolk and even to some men.)

As for semantics, if it helps, sure, I'll go along with folks should avoid "potentially offensive titles." We're a video game site, we talk about games. The purpose of the site is to share info on cheap games. As a community we've grown exponentially and within those numbers a good many of us have found cliques and friends we associate with and have fun discussing the games and elements of our lives with.

Pacman CE changed the game in a good way. Bionic Commando added some new elements and graphics but brought a true classic to an audience who might not have had a chance to play it.

It is a common misconception that if a movie uses fuck in a nonsexual context more than once, it will automatically receive an R rating. In reality, PG-13 movies are routinely allowed two or three uses. But there have been two extreme circumstances so far: Gunner Palace has 42 uses of the word, 2 used sexually,[19] and The Hip Hop Project has 17 uses. Both films were rated PG-13 on appeal from an R rating.
