Man, the amount of awesome that Chrono Trigger represents is incredible.
This game is still sooo good. Only played for a few hours, but I'm about to hit The Denadoro Mountains I always died at the boss there back when I rented the game as a kid. The motherfucker was tough, dammit!
As soon as CT's done, though, it's Persona 4. Wonder how the Engrish is this time

Aw, Rei :(
I just got to the Sky land place 10k BC in Chrono Trigger. I totally don't remember any of this part of the game. Its kind of awesome that I get to replay part of a game I've played a few times but it is like a brand new experience.
I kinda get the same feeling from Persona 4. I was worried that Teddy was going to be annoying, but he is actually quite loveable! I love those un-bear-lievable puns.

Part of the hinge finally cracked, but I glued it and its fine. I refuse to switch to the newer DSlite because the screens arent as vivid.

Whoa, long time no see, Gwen.
I have no idea what's wrong with it, but it seems like it's fine as long as I'm careful not to put any pressure on the thing. Needless to say, I'm sending it into Nintendo as soon as I finish Chrono Trigger.
Speaking of which, in CT, I totally kicked Masamune's ass. I feel awesome every time I do that just because I struggled to beat that bastard so many times.
What makes me sad, though, is that kids this Christmas are almost definitely going to make it a priority to ask for Tony Hawk's Motion Hue Pixel Painter or Cake Mania even though Chrono Trigger is better than whatever their puny brains tell them they should get.

The pacing in DDS2 is amazing, particularly relative to DDS. No more moving around the hub world, just one action scene to the next.

good "morning". nice to have the first day of not having to worry about school, work, stuff, or anything. went to bed last night at 3am and woke up today at 5pm. I love it.
Genna keep on slowly playing Banjo Kaz XBLA. Probably a bit of Oblivion too since I'm still too poor to afford Fallout 3. I'm tossing around the idea of seeing if I can trade Gears of War 2 for Valkyrie C or Fallout 3. Don't know if I wanna lose Gears 2 even though I barely play it anymore.

Back in the day... this is how it was for me.
I had a N64 and PS1. I would game all day on the PS1... but when something good comes out on N64, I'd take my time and play it... but it was a very rare occurrence... Maybe once or twice a year I'd actually play on the N64.
Not counting the Wii in this (who plays their Wii?)... I feel the same way with my 360 and PS3. I'll play/get 360 versions of games and then when/if something decent comes out on PS3, I'll play through it.
Sony is backpeddlin'
There's no place like Home.

Game's just easy. You can basically just fall to your death now, which doesn't even result in your actual death. Elika will save you every time. No more traps and fewer enemies.
Despite being easy, the game is still amazing.

I just finished the game, and I really enjoyed it. It's not dumbed down at all, and plays like the other games in the series. I wouldn't even really say it's easier. Sure Elika saves you, but it's just a glorified checkpoint. It cuts out the loading screens, and you hitting the continue option.
Also the ending was really well done.

I got it yesterday and am probably about halfway through about now. It's really easy as far as combat goes (since you can't die), but very fun. The only downside is you are forced to collect light seeds between areas, so unless you have enough to get the next ability, you have to run around and collect. Not a big deal, just a little annoying when I'd rather just continue with the story.

The girl saving you is what makes it seem "easy." In reality, I fell a shitload of times in the first hour and was thankful for not having to reload and shit. The combat is fun, though obviously not DMC/NG level (since PoP wasn't made in Japan. but if the Japanese made it, the game would be better and Elika's boobs would be better.) The combat is whats dumbed down.
It seems worth the $30 the PC version costs. Looks beautiful and seems better optimized than Ass Creed. Dropped to 30fps in some fights on my rig (3.0ghz c2d and 8800gts512, 2gb ram), but since fights are mashy and have slow-mo effects out the ass to dumb it down for retards, it didn't matter. Stayed a slick 60fps otherwise--and this looks really freaking good at 60fps.
disclaimer: take it with a grain of salt since I only played the first hour.

Hrmm... see, this is the thing though: I'm not sure if PoP is gonna be one of those games that you can pick up a few years down the road and be like "oh damn, I remember this. I'm gonna play through it again." I fear it's basically the flavor of the week for this week (or last week or something... whenever it came out.)
Edit: Also, I'm loving this hipster approach to advertising for the PSP. What a great system that is. I mean, you get Crisis Core this year and a remake of a Castlevania game last year... and a couple good games the year before that! Sounds like a winner to me!

I'm not gonna dispute that , but SE kinda did this to themselves. Because while the first game was pretty much a stand alone title , the second game not only connects to the first but leaves things open for a third. The series deserves some closure , especially considering how revered it is.

Yeah, that'd be cool. Both because it'd be (presumably) on a system that doesn't have shitty specs and because 7 needs a remake far more than 5 or 6. Hell, does 6 even need a remake at all? It still looks good.

Yeah, that'd be cool. Both because it'd be (presumably) on a system that doesn't have shitty specs and because 7 needs a remake far more than 5 or 6. Hell, does 6 even need a remake at all? It still looks good.
True that , my brother has been replaying (I think he's played it before) FF6 and it does still look good except during the Mode 7 portions.
My point wasn't so much that 6 needs a remake so much as that we all know SE is going to do one. Not ones to pass up money opportunities.
Shut up Moxio , maybe I shouldn't play P3 at all then. :P

I may go back to it later tonight/tomorrow though.
Is the irony of ditching one game that holds back your progress until you collect useless trinkets for another that holds back the "good" levels until you collect useless trinkets and play the awful levels obvious to anyone else?

You could always do it the hard way and just get the 4 essential characters then go straight to Kefka's Tower (or for a bigger challenge , skip Sabin).

I thought this was pretty funny on penny arcade. I like their writing style sometimes.
The Beta for Playstation home is now available to everyone, and now you know what I know: this is what happens when your marketing department tries to make a game. Here is everything you need to understand about Home, if you should accidentally launch it from your XMB: press and hold the Playstation button in the center of your Dual-Shock or Sixaxis controller. From the menu that appears, select Quit.

Played some more Oblivion early this evening doing a couple more Dark Brotherhood quests. Think I've done like 15 now--up to silencer rank and have done a couple at that rank. I'm going to stick with that till I finish then get back to the main story mission and finish that off and then decide if I want to do any other guilds or get any of the DLC expansions.
Took a break to watch the Dark Knight on blu ray with some friends, now need to send some e-mails and probably play an hour or two of oblivion before crashing.

If you can't justify paying more than $60 for an arcade stick, it'll be hard to qualify putting any money towards a 'good' arcade stick.

Home is surprisingly cool. You can't make a cool looking character. You can make a gay looking one, or a boring looking one, but that's about it.

I hope one day they get around the fixed-pixel display feature of only being able to have one native resolution, and then having to scale everything around it. Either that or they put a scaler in that can do the job far less than 1 frame.

Chac, miss blue, benjamouth, pete, gun, and Hank, thanks. =) Life is slowly starting to pull back together.
Now everyone go get mercs for $20. It's glitchy and laughable, but its stupid fun.

Finished MGS4 finally. Such a great game. It had its annoying parts but overall I really enjoyed it. No idea what to start next. Finish fable 2 or start playing IU again.
Oh, and hi Gwen. :wave: Good to hear life is getting better for you even if it is slow.

Persona 4 w/ component cables looks fine on my LCD HDTV.
It was pretty cringe worthy with composite though.

I use component with my PS2, but it doesn't look as good as it would on an SDTV...missing that free AA.

I have to wait for Persona 4. It's a Christmas present. Cool with me though, because it's free that way. I can't wait to play it.
My Sony Wega 27" HDTV may be small, especially when doing 16:9, but damn if it doesn't look great and handle 480i like a champ. PS2 via component looks good. But not as good as 720p on it, for sure. I really don't need to replace it anytime soon, but I do want something bigger.
Today, I plan on playing something that isn't a fighter. Yeah, I said it. :)

Does P4 have any issues with running on the PS3, or should I be good to go?

That's the word on the 80GB, I'm not sure about 20 or 60.
They disappear, may come back a couple days later or never at all. Also, when you try to save, sometimes it will say "Save Failed" and you have to try again.

Regarding P4 on a 60GB. Epic results.
My 60GB won't read it so far. :( Do I need to exchange it then?
EDIT: I've tried it multiple times and my PS3 won't recognize the disc. I can put it in all of my other PS2 and PS3 games and they read just fine. Do I contact Amazon for a replacement?
Edit #2: I checked the disc to see if anything appeared wrong with it and there does seem to be an inconsistency around the edges. On the clear edges themselves are small bumps that are scattered throughout. Does anyone else have these "rough" bumps on their game disc or does my disc the only one to have herpes?
Edit #3: I feel stupid. I was putting in the music CD, not the game DVD. Awesome. Crisis averted!

I have a 60 GB PS3, but I never play PS1/PS2 games on it. 3 frames of lag, no imports, and the scaler isn't good are 3 reasons why.
