I can forgive Dead Rising shit save system(I learned to deal with it.). But what I can't forgive is one save per HDD. It's bad enough you force me to do everything within a time limit but then you won't let me have multiple save files? Thats BS.
I don't get whats to "deal with." When you die, you load a saved game. When you have a second to spare, you go save your game, like any other game. As long as you don't accidentally hit Continue, its unexceptional.

[Flak]

Got the disintegration gun (nano gun) in Red Faction last night. Glorious.

Also, was pleasantly surprised when I was raiding some EDF buildings and found a battle mech that shoots rockets. :twoguns:

:whee:
I gotta do more SP, I really really want to go nuts with the nano rifle. It's one of my favorite weapons, second to probably the sledgehammer. It's amazing how many people let you hide behind a corner, then pop out to strike 'em down as they try to find you.

It's bad enough you force me to do everything within a time limit but then you won't let me have multiple save files? Thats BS.Shit? You save the game when you need to and only then. There are several saves points spread out across the mall.


If anything it is a perfect save system, but the lack of multiple saves is my only complaint.




Also, Pepsi? Brb store

[Azumangaman]

Jim, I'm jealous.
I want to be playing The BIGS 2 and BlazBlue but my 360 is teh deadz.

[corrosivefrost]

Well, they got the 12 year old audience pegged with the Night Vision goggles for their "extreme airsoft opz"....I do not see any other age bracket buying that at full price.

I love steelbooks and I know Activision is going to try and sell COD for like 1600 points or maybe even higher(twitter guy just confirmed that hardened is 80$)....Will grab the steelbook when its on sale.

Speaking of Steel books, I love them! The Gears 2 steel book is exceptional, my second favorite only next to the PDZ steelbook.

I love them, I just got my Death Proof and Planet Terror steelbook today.

I want a steelbook MW2. I love the gears 2 LE steelbook.

[Maklershed]

Not that anyway cares, but I forgot to mention earlier that I stumbled upon the Mars Rover in Red Faction. It was tucked away in a valley in the mountains in the southeast badlands. You can't do anything to it though. It's just there. I tried to break it. :lol:

You are overestimating people. I would consider getting it myself if It weren't for the fact I was spending already spending about $500 in Nov.

[Mr. Anderson]

My bassist is a fucking beast at Soul Calibur. Like seriously, he's close to unbeatable with Ivy.

[Chibi_Kaji]

If you would stop staring at her cleavage you might win.

[Nelo Ice]

looks like MS lowered the price of mad balls in babo invasion from 1200 pts to 800 pts

[gunm]

I messed up--my local Wally World was clearancing Motorstorm PR for $10, and for some reason I didn't pick any up. I guess it was because they had tons of copies and I thought I had a couple days maybe. Of course, now they are all sold out. >_<

[corrosivefrost]

I don't play it at work ya dummy! :bomb:

But work pays you. With tax dollars. And you use those dollars to buy games. Like RF:G. Which you think about at work. And then come home to enlighten us about your exploits in said games mused about whilst at work.

--

$500 in November? What the hell is coming out besides AC2, MW2, and for people who love expensive patches, L4D2?

[corrosivefrost]

[RelentlessRolento]

Anyone want cheap Wii points? I'm sellin a 2000 point card for about $16-$15 total.

[BlueScrote]

I'm enjoying MK vs DC right now. Finished up the DC side of story mode and playing through the MK side. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it though. Can't see me playing it anymore after I finish it.

[seanr1221]

Finished up Web of Shadows, pretty good game.

[darthbudge]

I am pretty close to finishing Red Faction: Guerrilla. I am in Eos right now on the mission where you have to Kill all of the Snipers. But I am having a real hard time beating this mission for whatever reason.

The EDF come from everywhere! There is nowhere to hide!

[seanr1221]

operation give Prototype a second chance starts now.

[jer7583]

Prototype is r GUD

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Bully just full-on froze on me. Jesus.

[whoknows]

operation give Prototype a second chance starts now.

Just ignore the story and you should be good.

Really though. Just skip the custscenes. It'll make the game seem worse than it is.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Scribblenauts will recognize "RICKROLL".

Oh lordy.

[RelentlessRolento]

Valkryie Chronicles 2 FTW... and even more FTW on PSP.

me happy.

[whoknows]

Yeah, that's good news.

I'm torn on how to feel about it being on PSP though. Sure I'll get to play it wherever, but idk.

At least it's not on the DS I guess.

[Nelo Ice]

whoa i just got approved for gaf

[RelentlessRolento]

I wonder if I did as well... been a few years lol

[Nelo Ice]

neogaf

[RelentlessRolento]

GAF can suck it. I'd actually post there, but apparently they don't want me.

[Nelo Ice]

damn youve waited years RR? and i thought waiting like 6 months was long :lol:

[Flak]

I'm still half-heartedly trying to find an e-mail address they'll take. Guess I'll have to wait until I go back to school (whenever that'll be).

[whoknows]

Phantom Page - DEFEATED!!

[Moxio]

Whoa, Cryostasis is pretty... cold.

[whoknows]

That game caught my attention.

Is it pretty graphics intensive? The only thing stopping me from getting it is that i'm not sure my laptop would run it.

[Jimbo Slice]

Did some cheesement hunting in Ghostbusters today. Got most of the single player ones, anyone wanna play this online sometime?

[Rei no Otaku]

damn youve waited years RR? and i thought waiting like 6 months was long :lol:
It took me all of two weeks...

[RelentlessRolento]

Yeah, I hear Ghostbusters online is fun... prob won't get around to playing it for a while though...

the more I play online games the less I want online modes :lol:

weird.

[KingBroly]

After almost a year (on again, off again) of trying to do this, I FINALLY got the last Secret Mission in Tales of Vesperia done. My luck is horrible. But at least now I feel I've beaten it (it also gave me a really cool weapon) AND the hardest title to get in the game.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I always wanted to try and do all the secret Missions in ToV... but some of them are just annoying to get.

[Maklershed]

Tried once to get on GAF but they didn't like my email address. Oh well.

[blitz6speed]

Tried once to get on GAF but they didn't like my email address. Oh well.

I waited months to be approved, and then they deleted my account completely =(

[KingBroly]

I always wanted to try and do all the secret Missions in ToV... but some of them are just annoying to get.

17 and 23 are definitely the worst. I only got 17 because I had the CPU controlled character attack and not me manually. I got REAL lucky for 23 as it just did enough damage and he has the tendency to just move at will even when stunned.

[corrosivefrost]

I waited months to be approved, and then they deleted my account completely =(

They did that to me. So I re-registered and waited another 812937 months. Now I are approved.

[Azumangaman]

So what's the big deal about NeoGAF?

[heavyd853]

So what's the big deal about NeoGAF?

The big deal is that they make you wait long ass times to get your registration approved, otherwise I dunno.


Maybe it makes people feel cool?

[dallow]

So what's the big deal about NeoGAF?Best game news site around.
I like it because there's a wealth of information since there are so many members with varied experience and knowledge.
Lots of things break there first, or if it's posted elsewhere, it's posted there a minute later.

[Flak]

Is the BF1943 trial dead? I tried playing it last night but it couldn't connect to EA's servers.

[dallow]

I played it last night for the 30 minutes it allows you too.
Didn't care for it that much, but am getting it since I had some laughs with my friend.
Not a serious game, and I like that.

Voice chat issues were there though. Used party chat to play.

[Maklershed]

I wish I was at home shooting things with a nano gun. *sigh*

[dallow]

Does anyone have any of these they want to sell? Or know of a local place that still stocks them?

They're Nintendo brand (or licensed) and they came 3 to a pack (9 total slots) for like $5 at Frys just a few months ago.
Now I can't find them there or any GS.

I really need some and can't find them anymore.
:(

Same here... they are very annoying. And the support email is a sham. I guess they only look for famous peoples names. I don't get how there are so many idiots there though...

The phantom page lives on!!!

[Flak]

I've been looking for those cases too dallow but no luck. The manufacturer is ALS Industries, and they also make a similar 3-DS card case. Finding plenty of those but not the GBA game case. Ebay has some good deals on individual ones, like $9 for 24 cases.

[dallow]

Yeah, I saw those, but really prefer the above case.
I should have bought more months ago.

[seanr1221]

I have some Dallow. Shoot me a PM.

[dallow]

$100 each Sean, won't go any higher. (sending pm)

Damn, Serious Sam HD looking GOOD!
Hope the 360 version looks close to this.

It's one of the best places to train to be a certified douchebag on the internet. ;)

[Azumangaman]

Sounds exciting!

[dallow]

Hey, while I'm asking for things.

Does anyone have the Penguin United 24-DS game case they would consider selling?

I'm only interested the kind with the thick and completely clear plastic sheets inside.
I'll pay you more than it costs to buy a new one.

(new ones come with a thinner plastic that I really don't like)

[Flak]

Does Dig Dug have a final level or does it keep getting escalating with each stage until you can't take it no more?

[dallow]

Bosses?

Those game didn't have bosses.
Eventually you'd reach a kill screen where the game glitches out.

[BlueScrote]

sigh.

To be at work and only want to be home playing video games.

I have an extra one with the CAG emblem on the front (back when they decided to make a CAG exclusive run), but I'd have to look for it.

Speaking of looking, I spent a good two hours looking for my Pikmin 2 guide and instead found my clean copy of Alundra! I was surprised, all it had was a bunch of dust from all the years just sitting there :o

The case is still all glossy clean, disc is immaculate, but my instruction booklet is missing #-o

[dallow]

Dude, I've love it if you could find that!

[gunm]

Haha! Valkyria Chronicles 2 really will be a PSP game this time...

[Persona7]

Hmm...My sig. :(

[ninja dog]

lol why the sour vaginas over neogaf?

lets put it this way-- how much better could every site be with that restricted of a registration process and strict moderating? Makes me pretty happy as a reader, even though there is a ton of douchebaggery going on there despite that...though I pretty much only make douchey posts on the internet these days. :lol:


killzone 2 sux and I hope sony goes broke

Pros vs. Cons. 360 vs PS3. Go!

I'm getting kind of sick of 360. I've had it for 3.5 years. It just seems like all the sports games are on both systems but 360 isn't really going out of its way to make games that are really interesting like Sony is.

[gunm]

Dang it, I like CEs and all, but do I really have to buy Dragon Age Origins for that exclusive Mass Effect 2 in-game item?? Will it let me see all the dirty details of the hot alien sex I missed in the first game?

[KingBroly]

Let me be blunt: fuck DLC

I dunno...if you're getting bored of the 360, you might get a little shot in the arm from the PS3, but going through its exclusives is pretty quick.

[Persona7]

I really hate the wii and the wii remote because of the nasty shiny finish. Gets nasty scratches and scuffs.

Needs less gloss. Is the Japanese white gamecube controller the same way or is it matte?

[dallow]

What's there to maintain?

The only cost is the one time cost of the system.

After that, you pick and choose any game you want to play whenever you want.
I get bored of all my systems at certain points.

Currently it's my PS3 and 360.
After 8 months in hibernation, my Wii has suddenly sparked my interest so I'm playing through a few things on that when I get a chance.

[gunm]

NE1 else getting Secret of Monkey Island today?

[dallow]

I hate when I call a GS for a little obscure item and they just don't want to look (that I know they should have)

I've started to just pretend I'm from a different store and ask them to hold it for a customer. :oops:

It works though!

[fizzywix]

NE1 else getting Secret of Monkey Island today?

I didn't realize it was coming out today. Earlier I read a post about it and immediately turned my 360 on and downloaded it.



Debating whether I should unload a bunch of GS credit on the b2g1 and add a bunch of games to my backlog, or if I should fully preorder MW2 and two other games

[FriskyTanuki]

I'm playing the demo for Secret of Monkey Island and it's funnier than the first four episodes of Sam & Max Save the World combined.

Don't get burned by not picking up a CE right away, you'll never see it again.

[fizzywix]

Yeah I played MI2 a loong time ago and I forgot how funny it was. Plus I was pretty young when I first played it.

So awesome even though I already know how to beat everything, love the voices and being able to compare the old/new on the fly

[seanr1221]

Dallow, I need to check for those cases at my parent's house this weekend. I'll let you know.

[dallow]

Thanks, I do appreciate it.

I'm playing the demo for Secret of Monkey Island and it's funnier than the first four episodes of Sam & Max Save the World combined.So true. I don't think I can finish Sam & Max...ugh.

[Chibi_Kaji]

Sam & Max was awesome.

[FriskyTanuki]

I'll finish the other two episodes, but the humor in Sam & Max is more formulaic than genuinely funny. Not bad enough to not finish them though. I liked the dance number that came out of nowhere in episode 4.

[RelentlessRolento]

On the note of adventure games, I played the demo of wallace and gromit and have to admit I was surprised how much I liked it. I'm going to wait till all episodes are released before getting though.

[BlueScrote]

MK vs DC is pretty fun. Wish there were more characters though.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I couldn't get into wallace and gromit. It didn't seem to be a bad game or anything. I guess I'm just not into that humor.

[RelentlessRolento]

The humor in W & G isn't that great, I guess there's more charm than actual humor.

[seanr1221]

I'm tempted to get Monkey Island. I've never(!) played an adventure game.

[jer7583]

Finished Call of Juarez 2 tonight - damn fine game, and better story. A must have for western fans.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'm making note of that jer. I want to play it as soon as it comes in from gamefly.

working on bionic commando right now. classic spencer FTW. again, still no complaints. It's probably the one game that is mostly about heights where I'm not scared of heights at all.

[ZerotypeX]

Got in a hour and half of playtime for Okami on the wii and so far I'm lovin' it. Trying to get use to the brush parts in the game (had to fix a broken water mill, and figuring the slash attack), but its coming along. It is quite a beatiful game with that sweet artwork, might have to pick up the Okami Complete Works book (http://www.amazon.com/Okami-Official-Complete-Works-Capcom/dp/1897376022/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3GA4C2JAIZEFE&colid=R0FJQ6DIGGZ5).

Only thing I am hating about this game so far is that you only have a limited amount of time to swim otherwise you drown. Didn't know that at first when I was trying to reach a plot of land that was extrememly far.

[RelentlessRolento]

I loved Okami till I realized that the story keeps going... and going... it's the one game where the longevity of its length killed it for me.

[Inf^Shini]

Sneaky Ebay.

I thought the first 5 auctions with no fees was pretty awesome, then I decided to read the "fine print" and come to find out they basically charge twice the amount in FVF's for those, that or up to $20, whichever is lowest :/

[whoknows]

I started Red Faction tonight, and you people were right.

This game is a ton of fun.

[DarkNessBear]

(Insert random comment followed by an unnecessary game reference.)

Yea, $15 well spent.

[ZerotypeX]

More than a 20 hour game of casual playing?

[RelentlessRolento]

(Insert random comment followed by an unnecessary game reference.)


Yea, $15 well spent.

wait, where was it $15?

More than a 20 hour game of casual playing?


Yeah... it was a little too long.

[whoknows]

I liked Okami until I realized it was boring.

[KingBroly]

Played some more Tales of Vesperia this morning. It makes me so mad that there is SO MUCH stuff in this game that is easily missable. Didn't stay at this particular inn one night? Well, you just cost yourself a title. Didn't find a random guy while being run out of town? No side quest reward for you, then. Didn't come back here even though there was absolutely no point before heading to the 2nd major dungeon? Well, you can't go to the secret dungeon.

Just on and on and on it goes. And the worst part is, all of the stuff I mentioned is DLC with the exception of the secret dungeon being available.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I loved Okami till I realized that the story keeps going... and going... it's the one game where the longevity of its length killed it for me.
Yeah, I beat the boss I thought was the last boss and just got bored with it.

Played some more Tales of Vesperia this morning. It makes me so mad that there is SO MUCH stuff in this game that is easily missable.
Agreed, it drove me nuts that I missed a so many titles just because I wasn't in the right place at the right time. And the fact the secret dungeon is so easily missed annoys me to no end.... This makes me want to play the game again but I'm holding out hope for the PS3 port.

[RelentlessRolento]

80% done with Bionic Commando. Still no complaints.

[Maklershed]

I started Red Faction tonight, and you people were right.

[mooshie78]

It took me around 35 hours to finish on the PS2, playing casually and doing a lot of side quests etc.

I didn't get tired of it at all. It was probably my favorite game last gen.

[RelentlessRolento]

Holy Badman is out today!

The new Call of Juarez game, Fight Night Round 4, if you're buying new games make sure you get something new enough so it's not going to drop in price soon.

[RelentlessRolento]

Valkyrie Chronicles?

[manthing]

The new Call of Juarez game, Fight Night Round 4, if you're buying new games make sure you get something new enough so it's not going to drop in price soon.

An UbiSoft game not dropping in price soon?

:rofl:

Already have FN4

Valkyrie Chronicles?

Had that for months silly.



And I already have BlazBlue

[benjamouth]

An UbiSoft game not dropping in price soon?

:rofl:



Yeah good point, I'm starting to think buying three $55 games at GS isn't the best value for money to get from the B2G1Fs.

Every time I do it it seems a week later I could have picked up said games cheaper elsewhere (Cheaper that the $33 or whatever they end up being).

[manthing]

Damn.

Looks like RFG is down to $45 at GS. I'll just use this week's 20% coupon for that.


Hopefully there will be a PS3 coupon starting tomorrow so I can get inFAMOUS

[dallow]

PS3 seems due for it's coupon.

Yeah good point, I'm starting to think buying three $55 games at GS isn't the best value for money to get from the B2G1Fs.

Every time I do it it seems a week later I could have picked up said games cheaper elsewhere (Cheaper that the $33 or whatever they end up being).Yeah, I just use it on old, cheap games.

[KingBroly]

I plan on getting AC2 when it hits $30, so...3rd week or so given previous Ubi releases. Infamous too. I'm just trying to make my money go a bit further games wise these days, you know?

Takes a lot of save space though :/

[Flak]

Wow, I found my old copy of LEGO Alpha Team on the GBC and already I'm about halfway through it. It's not a bad puzzle game. I never got very far when I used to play it because I couldn't figure out how generators worked, but after playing training I'm just flying through it.

Anyone else ever play it? What are the timer settings? It just says L M or H, so I'm guessing it's like low, medium and hard. Keeps resetting itself to M though. Just happy the battery is still keeping my save data.

[Rei no Otaku]

Takes a lot of save space though :/
Yeah it does.

[Chibi_Kaji]

Bah, I planned to play Monkey Island today but never got around to it... On the bright side I just noticed Rei finally got rid of the lady gaga crap. I was tired of looking at that guy.

[dallow]

A disco stick is a penis.


I hate to admit it, but I'm really liking her singles aside from "Let's Dance".
My ladyfriend plays her all the time and I just really grew to enjoy it.

Reminds me of Peaches, but I'm sure everyone's made that comparison already.

[BlueScrote]

Bah, I planned to play Monkey Island today but never got around to it... On the bright side I just noticed Rei finally got rid of the lady gaga crap. I was tired of looking at that guy.


Now he has power girl (whose outfit is pretty much the ultimate pandering to fans)

Prince of Persia is really kind of disappointing. Its not bad, I just expected more from it.

I'm probably going to bring it back now. The only reason I kept it so long was because every time I was about to change it someone would mention how much they didn't like Lady Gaga. Well now look what you did? I gotta represent!

Now he has power girl (whose outfit is pretty much the ultimate pandering to fans)
I've always loved Power Girl XD She finally got her own series, hence my decision to use her as my avatar/sig.

[FriskyTanuki]

Savage Moon's worth that price if you liked PixelJunk Monsters or Comet Crash.

[Azumangaman]

I'm so confused...
A few days ago, my 360 essentially exploded, and it got RED RINGS ONCE. Now, I plugged it back in, transferred data to my new 120 GIG HD I got through a trade, downloaded what seemed like a new dashboard update, and everything seems to be running very smoothly.

What the fuck?

[Teroxide]

Ahhhh, I need to stop buying games. I've got about 9 games I haven't completed/played more than a few hours on because I keep wanting games. Damn you 360, damn you for making me buy a console which has so many games I wish to play.

On another note, Left 4 Dead is awesome.

[dallow]

My thoughts on NPD.

Can't believe Prototype (360) was the number 1 game last month.
PS3 owners chose inFamous instead and kept it in the top ten just barely (not bad for the second month)

No Ghostbusters is surprising. I thought it did a lot better.
Conduit didn't make the cut either but I didn't expect it to. Average gamer has no clue what that game is.

FNR4 360 vs PS3 was surprisngly close.

And no Wii Play!!!!!! Finally. I'm sure it'll be back though.

[BlueScrote]

I literally fell asleep playing Prince of Persia. I don't think a game has ever done that.

I've always loved Power Girl XD She finally got her own series, hence my decision to use her as my avatar/sig.

Now that I think about it the real super girl is just as bad with some artists. I wish dreamlandcomics would hurry up and ship my death of captain america books.

[Rei no Otaku]

I never saw a problem with Power Girl's costume. It fits her personality.

[jer7583]

The only good thing about Prince of Persia is the graphics - some of those areas are downright beautiful, and very colorful and bright - after finishing them.

And it scratched that "collect all the glowing things" itch too. Otherwise kinda meh - and bad combat too.

What should I start next?

Red Faction Guerrilla
Resume playing The Witcher
The Conduit
Ico
Riddick 360
Re-start Fallout 3 or Mass Effect

[Flak]

ICO, and when you've recovered, Red Faction Guerrilla.

[Persona7]

Replaying MadWorld,I like the motorcycle segments.

[manthing]

PJM>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Savage Meh

[RelentlessRolento]

already tired of tower defence games. PJM was the best and last for me.

[jer7583]

Yeah I really need to play ICO. It's been sitting on the shelf for a year or more.

[nyprimus4]

Is there a way to back up Xbox 360 game saves?

Does the guitar from Guitar Hero III on PS3 (the Les Paul) work with GH1 and GH2?

[pete5883]

What's with the ICO fever going around?

[jer7583]

Dave Ellis talking about it on 1up yours a few weeks back got it in my brain to play it soon.

[Flak]

ICO is a game worthy of a little fever. If you don't know, you haven't played it.

[pete5883]

I've caught it before, but I thought most infections died down a couple years ago.

[RelentlessRolento]

ICO is not too long so just go with it. Plus you can play it between other games easily.

[RelentlessRolento]

What's the selling price of Killzone 2 now on the trade threads?

[Inf^Shini]

I was NEVER EVER able to get the gold trophy on PJM where you have to clear the level without losing one of your village people.

That was so damn hard even with walkthroughs I found, I just gave up on it.

[DarthPuma]

I've been playing a shit ton on Fallout 3 again lately. I think I have three achievement quests left (excluding the stupid Nuka Cola challenge I'm not doing), and then I've got Broken Steel and The Pitt to play through.

Blew through Operation Anchorage last night. I hated it at first, but I had a blast as soon as I got to the base. I wish there were more missions like that in the game, or at least the option to play through it again.

[RelentlessRolento]

so... Killzone 2, what's it sell for on CAG?

[Rei no Otaku]

You guys are making me want to play through ICO again.

[Flak]

You guys are making me want to play through ICO again.
DO IT.


The Nuka Cola Challenge wasn't a pain for me since I'd already been collecting the Quantums needed, just because. Only had to scavenge for a few.

[Mr. Anderson]

<--- Did the Nuka Cola Challenge. 8-)

I need some Genesis AV cables. Mono sound just will not do for Streets of Rage 2.

[RelentlessRolento]

To be honest, I played ICO once and that was enough for me. SotC on the other hand was fun to replay. I even did all the normal and hard time attacks to unlock all items. makes the game even more crazy.

[gunm]

<--- Finished the Nuka Cola Challenge. It's really not that bad, but it does seem to be designed in a way where you really have to explore a lot (and possibly be willing to lose a little karma) before you can really finish it.

[FriskyTanuki]

Managed to last just 11 minutes in my first try through Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman. :-( I need to better design my dungeon.

[RelentlessRolento]

I just downloaded it frisky but havent had the chance to play it yet. I loved every version that I've played of it so far.

I hope it sells well so that Or2 comes out here.

[Flak]

I'll have to try the demo again. I didn't really get it the first time.

[mykevermin]

Does the guitar from Guitar Hero III on PS3 (the Les Paul) work with GH1 and GH2?

Nope.

DarthPuma listens to HHiG? Wow. Color me impressed.

Is that Badman game PSN only, or is there a UMD available?

[BlueScrote]

Red Faction single player seems enjoyable enough. I get much better chance to blow things up in single player and enjoy the destruction.

[FriskyTanuki]

PSN only here, but it might get a UMD release in Europe that you could import.

[Flak]

Finally got the BF1943 trial to work. Very pretty game, but I don't think I'll be getting it. Good little nostalgia trip though, I used to play a lot of 1942 until I found Modern Combat.

And I see everyone is still spastic over planes. I was playing Wake Island and some moron tried his best to park his tank in front of my plane.

[RelentlessRolento]

Dd ftw

You can get 1/3 to 1/2 of the quantum bottles in one swoop, southeast of Old Olney in a wrecked Nuka Cola delivery truck. Pretty much the only way to do it if you've been using/selling the Nuka Quantums you found for the majority of the game.

[Jimbo Slice]

Playing some Warriors Orochi 2... I know most don't likely the series, but I've always enjoyed them. They remind me of modern beat 'em ups.

Playing this though really makes me wish the sequel to Devil Kings came out in America, as the original was my favorite game in this genre. <3 Devil Kings.

[RelentlessRolento]

just beat Bionic Commando. If you don't pay attention to any story it's a very solid game.

[Jimbo Slice]

just beat Bionic Commando. If you don't pay attention to any story it's a very solid game.

Agreed.... I really enjoyed it.

[RelentlessRolento]

Agreed.... I really enjoyed it.

Yeah, I kinda don't understand the lower scores. It wasn't as over the top as Lost Planet, but it nailed the use of mechanics very well.

I still don't like what they did with Joe... seeing as he was my fave character in the OG BC but then again, the entire story besides how bionics are made felt like major BS.

[DarthPuma]

Just played through the trial of The Secret of Monkey Island SE and then immediately bought it. I can't believe I've never played this game before.

I had a lot of fun with Bionic Commando, but it did drag in parts.

[Persona7]

Oh man, the credits for Mad World. :D Very unique style.


I almost shit myself laughing @ the commentation.

[Trakan]

On Chapter 2 of Dead Space, just wondering if I can upgrade everything in my first playthrough and if not do my upgrades carry over in a new playthrough?

You likely won't be able to upgrade everything on one playthrough. It will probably take 1.5-2. Your stuff carries into a new game, yes. I believe that you have to stay on the same difficulty though, I can't remember.

[Shrapnellistic]

@Trakan

I believe that you have to stay on the same difficulty though, I can't remember.Appreciate it. Might have to buy it cheap (renting it right now and is my favorite horror videogame yet). Other videogames should take note of its introduction.

Might have to do a review for it to further praise it.

[Maklershed]

Nuka Challenge was no problem for me either since I had all the quantum bottles already. :whee:

[jer7583]

I really liked Bionic Commando too - especially the music.

[mykevermin]

Just began RE5 last night.

I look forward to 5.5 more chapters of my partner's utter uselessness save for shooting my bullets and using my green herbs.

I think they do get better later on, but for the best RE5 experience you really need to get a co-op partner Myke.

Hi Ben - I went a little purchase crazy last night when I realized that the MST3ks were mad cheap in that DD sale.

1 RHI970105 DVD : MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER SET VOL 2 - $27.31
1 RHI970106 DVD : MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER SET VOL 3 - $27.31
1 RHI970221 DVD : MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER SET VOL 4 - $30.58

I've only played it once for half a chapter alone before I quit.

Hi Mak :wave:

You got some awesome deals there, I've never regretted what ever I've paid for an MST3K set but I think I've only ever got 1 for less than $30. Course I don't have a Vol 9 or original Vol 10 :cry:

So to pick up 5 sets for $30 or less is good times.

[mykevermin]

My gameplay habits aren't conducive to co-op.

I'll play for 30m-an hour and stop and come back later.

Are those MST3K still that cheap and where? I kinda hope not since I shouldn't buy them - but fuck me I really want 'em.

[dallow]

What did you think of Eat Lead since you finished it myke?
I started it a couple days ago but will likely finish it.

Battlefield 1943 is fun, voice chat issues aside (had to use my phone or party chat on XBL to talk)

[mykevermin]

Eat Lead? Cute. Spent about 6 more hours playing it than I should have. Would never suggest buying it - thank little baby jesus for gamefly.

[manthing]

inFAMOUS is worth $20, right?

[refusedchaos]

^yes

[dallow]

I'd take one for that price.

Where is that price? 8-)

[DarkNessBear]

Just figured out why Splosion Man isnt working... I don't think it is out yet... Haha. The dev kit allows me to download it. But, it is missing a TON of stuff. Anyone have any reccomendations on XBLA games?

[manthing]

Nowhere.

Thank you, I want them!

Fuck you, I shouldn't buy them!

;)

[Maklershed]

Well all I can say is you'll never find them cheaper. They rarely dip below $40 and getting them for $30 or less is nothing short of a miracle. :)

[Flak]

If I tried playing frisbee with a Wiimote, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have a TV anymore.

You'd be pissed to hear I got my vols 1 & 2 for $3 each at goodwill. Not new granted, but in like-new condition.

Bayonetta NA/Europe release date: January 2010

[nyprimus4]

Is Lair good at all after the patch that lets you use the sticks?

It... looks... so beautiful.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_gweuSRTEU&hd=1

[manthing]

Is Lair good at all after the patch that lets you use the sticks?

I got it for a couple of bucks and the first level wasn't horrible.

what WAS horrible was the 60 minutes or so it took to d/l and install the analog patch.

[dallow]

It's not that bad.
Stick controls are A LOT better.

[Azumangaman]

I gots some Anime for sale on my TL!
If you have the thinpaks of some titles and prefer original boxsets, I'LL TOTALLY TRADE!
LET'S BE BFFS :)

Also, the LBP update (1.16) is taking an insanely long time to install. Silly sony.

[whoknows]

The thing that I really liked about LAIR was is epicness.

Every level is epic in some way. I've never tried it with analog controls, so no comment on that.

[Sparta]

I have Lair but haven't played it yet, still mint/complete. Also have RE5/Bioshock for PS3 mint/complete...looking for LBP, Uncharted, Valkyria Chronicles or KZ2, but haven't had luck yet. -_-

[KingBroly]

Seems like a lot of games are being delayed to Q1 next year. There's way too many games in that quarter now.

[dallow]

I'll import Bayonetta.
Comes out on my birthday.

[Flak]

Finally, I have a copy of RE Outbreak. The intro is gorgeoussssss...!

[Rei no Otaku]

The RE Outbreak intro is one of my favorite intro of all times. From the music to the images, it's just amazing.

[jer7583]

Sucks about Bayonetta - I was just starting to get excited for that game. January probably makes more sense, but.. I want it!

[DarthPuma]

I bought BlazBlue today. I'm dying to open it up and watch the bluray, but I know I should keep it sealed for a bit, at least until I have to take the one I rented back.

[RelentlessRolento]

Still best damn intro ever IMHO

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wOleHW63ow

[KingBroly]

I don't know why I continue to play Vesperia right now. I'm just making a hopeful 2nd playthrough less painful. I have about...350 items to get in the Collector's Book still. Sheesh, this sucks.

[BlueScrote]

A ton of games are getting pushed back. I guess they learned after last year having so many good games (and so many good deals!) between october and january.

In particular I am looking forward to Darksiders: Wrath of War, which for some reason comes out Jan 1st :bomb:

[RelentlessRolento]

Bayonetta needs to release in January to actually have good sales stateside.

I'm learning that my faveorite game releases always seem to be in Q1.

Q4 is when all the damn "blockbuster" titles hit, or as I call it the "too many games released" months.

[dallow]

Cheesy techno music and silly robot fight cannot be the best intro ever.

[Rei no Otaku]

Cheesy techno music and silly robot fight cannot be the best intro ever.
Seriously.

I like the Tekken 5 intro, but it's so far from the best it's ridiculous.

[RelentlessRolento]

:lol: I'm preaching to the wrong crowd obviously.

In terms of story it's my fave since it ties alot of Tekken history storyline into "WTF! Holy Shit!" moments.

and please, don't say that any JRPG has the best intro :lol:

though someone is going to post it now that I said it.

... better be vagrant story ;)

[dallow]

It's not even the best Tekken intro. (tekken 2 maybe? in my head i have a picture of jun in a heavy tokyo street, camera zooms in and she turns around)

Dang, starting to think about the Soul Blade intro. That blew my mind as a kid.
Hehe, I watched it now, completely forgot it had that weird song with lyrics.
I could remember the music but not the singing.

Reminds me of the Blue Dragon fight boss music in it's style.

[dallow]

Damn, Tekken 2 intro bringing back the memories.
I had this day 1.

Music less cheesy, but there's a couple of arrangements in there that make up for that.
And the whispered female voice (whose words i can't make out) throughout the song I always liked.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVFnXKpiH5M

[pete5883]

Cheesy techno music and silly robot fight cannot be the best intro ever.
It's so awesome that I show up in the GGT and read this post first - and immediately know that it can only be in response to ReRo.

[gunm]

lulz, poor ReeRee! ^_^

I like the Tekken intros in general, but the one RR posted for 5 isn't my fave. :p

[RelentlessRolento]

:lol: Well at least I can agree to disagree.

I'm just curious why everyone else hasn't posted their faves?

at least give me a chance to hassle back >_<

[Inf^Shini]

I'm trying to sift through all the intros I can remember and post up my fav (if I can find it)

Oh yea! *off to youtube*

Wait...it's a JRPG...nevermind.

It's old school but a childhood favorite :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEp4Fi9kb_Q

Best intros? I feel like this came up recently. My absolute favorite:
