again turning it into confrontation.

There's also no right answer for your statement because whatever I say you'll just tur it around on me.

Whenever it is I would "be myself" you'd still find something to use against me.

I have to assume you'll never change and be stuck doing the same routine unless you make it a point to change.

I'll shut up now... I make it too much of a point to help others, even if I suck at it :lol:

Helping me? Get the fuck out of here. You're in no position.

I just watched some of the cutscenes to SO4 from links on GAF.
My............ god.

Like I said when it came out, it's garbage and definitely some TMK shit.

What's new?

[dallow]

Yeah, but I heard Blue Dragon was garbage and I'm really enjoying it 5 hours in so far. Damn I love the music, but the boss music made me laugh. It'll probably get annoying though.
LO is next.

As for SO4, those cutscenes, indeed garbage. It's PS1 era bad.

What's up GGT. Not sure if everyone heard the news, I just sold my PS3, PSP, and PS2 to GameStop this morning. I'm done with Sony hardware for the rest of my life. Going to just stick with my :360: and :wii:. Looking at playing my :wii: tonight, such as Super Mario Galaxy, DDR Hottest Party, Bomberman Blast, etc.

[manthing]

April Fool's gags in the afternoon?

:???:

[dallow]

Ok, I laughed.
That's just so innocent. If that post were a person i'd pinch it's cheeks.

TMK also got a job, a girl, his own living space, and a heroin addiction.

[KingBroly]

Kind of surprised no mentioned that all Oblivion DLC on XBLM is now half off, except the horse armor, where the price is doubled.

I assume that's today only, and it's completely legit.

Lots of people mentioned it, just not in this thread.

Does Valkria Chronicles for the Triple ever get fun?

The demo is too short to decide if I should look for it at the GS sale on Sunday.

:-?

[hankmecrankme]

Most of the DLC is a good distraction, but nothing substantial, save Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles.

I got all of the Oblivion DLC when I bought Knights of the Nine on clearance at Target for $8. Well, except for the Fighter's Guild, but that was free. Also snagged Shivering Isles for $8 at Target too at a later date.

I got Oblivion for free with my last GPU. So I spent like $16 on the PC version total. :) Put like 150 hours into it.

[manthing]

April Fools' gags in the afternoon manthing? :\

It wasn't a gag, it was a real question.

Is the whole game people on foot?

I was execting something like FF Tactics or Advance Wars

[dallow]

It's an SRPG without the limiting grid.

Yes, you manually move your characters into position (and tanks), and take into account range, cover, etc.
A breath of fresh air for the tired SRPG genre.

The demo is just the first mission I believe.

:???:I know he wasn't joking.

[FriskyTanuki]

Doesn't FFT pretty much just feature people on foot?

It's an SRPG with third-person shooter mechanics in place of the grid movement and those kinds of clunky SRPG mechanics.

I have roughly 200 hours on my 360 one... I got most of the DLC free. Shiviring Isles was great IMHO.

[dallow]

How long is Mass Effect? For someone who won't do everything? (my friend wants to borrow it)

And cool info on the Silent Hill Wii game.
Not a remake, but a re-imagining. :(

But this perked me up:
-Combat has been completely removed from the game. "Instead, you have no choice but to flee, which proves considerably more terrifying."
Now that I like.

[dmaul1114]

Mass Effect is 12-15 hours to just blow through. Took me 35 doing every side quest I found and getting the completionist achievement.

As for Oblivion, the 80 hours I put into the main game, Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isle to end up with 1220/1250 achievements (didn't have a save to get the other Duke achievement in Shivering Isles) was more than enough for me, so even at 1/2 off I'm not going to bother with any of the other DLC.

[dallow]

Hm. Thanks!

[Maklershed]

On the left Spiderwick Chronicles and on the right Turning Point:Fall of Liberty.

I only play the very best ;)


I don't know about Spiderwick but Turning Point? Seriously? The demo was atrocious. It was Superman 64 bad. :lol:

[benjamouth]

I don't know about Spiderwick but Turning Point? Seriously? The demo was atrocious. It was Superman 64 bad. :lol:

Spiderwick is ok, $12 and hopefully 1000 easy nerd points.

Turning Point I wanted to try cos I was interested in the story line, it's not great but I paid like $14 for a new copy.

[Maklershed]

I knew it was a bad sign when in the first 20 seconds of the Turning Point demo all the bad guys were pointed in the wrong direction, shooting at the wall.

[Jest]

Is Too Human worth $10? I may have to get it, Mass Effect for $10 and MGS4 again for $30.

Too Humang was atrocious. Granted, I played the demo for only about 5 minutes, but damn, it sucked hardcore.

Mass Effect for $10 is a great deal.

Star Wars Forced Unleashed has the worst voice acting I've heard in a game. The first boss battle geesh! So glad the main character wasn't black, the amount of times he referred to me as "BOY!" would have made that fight rather uncomfortable.

[whoknows]

I've been playing a lot of Phantasy Star Portable and Phoenix Wright T&T.

I do dream of the day though when a handheld is released that doesnt cramp your hands after 2 minutes of playing.

I'll post it when I find the time tomorrow.

[hankmecrankme]

Kay, that's some amazing voice work, kay? And what does that mean? ;)

Let me guess, no Japanese voice over option?

[RelentlessRolento]

Forgot to mention, at one point in Phantasy Star Portable one of the NPC characters talked to me for a bit about how big their rack was, then going into how tight their clothing is and how it hurts their back.

On that note as well, that character is always in my party when adventuring... >_< for known reasons.

Stupid PS3 update. I just wanted to play some Tekken 5 DR. I don't mind updating, but damn it takes so much of my precious time.

[RelentlessRolento]

anyone know if the GOTY edition of Oblivion has the extra stuff available for installing or it's already on the disc? If it's for installing, I might just rent it from gamefly.


EDIT: :lol: looks like my news people bashed me for was still wrong but very close. that'll teach both me and them to shut up >_<

Two discs, one for installing the content and the other's like the original oblivion disc. I doubt gamefly will send the content disc unless they're retarded. :lol:

EDIT: Wait, do you mean for PS3? If so then I don't know.

[Azumangaman]

Haven't been playing gamez!
I'm going to bring back L4D, rent Wanted and blaze through that nonsense.
Then I'll grab 50 Cent or something else that's thug.
I'm going to trade in some games so I can own L4D. It's wonderful.

Could be worse. You could have been playing Skate 2 on a 1 day old replacement 360 and have it RROD on you.

Fuck me.

[mykevermin]

^ Ouch.

[FriskyTanuki]

I knew it was a bad sign when in the first 20 seconds of the Turning Point demo all the bad guys were pointed in the wrong direction, shooting at the wall.
Really? I thought you were in the scaffolding of some construction site at the beginning of the demo as planes start attacking, but maybe I'm thinking of some other crappy FPS demo I've played a year or more ago. :lol:

[hankmecrankme]

Could be worse. You could have been playing Skate 2 on a 1 day old replacement 360 and have it RROD on you.

Fuck me.

That's terrible. One day has to be a record or something.

I've blown up a 3 day old replacement motherboard though. No PC for like 3 weeks. That sucked ass.

[Jest]

Why isn't there a good curling game? I want The Show quality. I want to play as Randy Ferbey and take him through career mode and kick Kevin Martin's ass at the Brier. Is that too much to ask?

[FriskyTanuki]

Yes, because Canada sucks and so does curling. There's probably a Wii Sports knockoff with curling it though.

[ArthurDigbySellers]

It has to be a record. The xbox.com site won't even let me request a repair for the replacement console most likely because it is not even complete in their system yet.

BTW, Home is so damn amazing. It's like the cesspool of humanity right in my living room.

[tiredfornow]

I waited with a buddy for a few hours to grab a 360 and his died the moment we turned it on. Took it back to Walmart and they didn't have anymore so we wasted 6 hours of our night talking to some greasy, booger covered kids about pokemon and digimon. I'm glad I've never experienced the horror of a failed console. :0)

[distgfx]

http://the-minusworld.com/2009/03/30/the-top-9-video-game-ocd-moments-you-know-youre-guilty-of/

I do everything on that list except 9 and 7 (I don't have Fallout 3, and I've never played it). If you don't do #4 or #1...wow...what's wrong with you?

[FriskyTanuki]

Only 4/9, so they lied.

[distgfx]

I did 1, 3, 4, 6 and 7. Not bad, but I didn't do the others because I don't play those games. :-#

[Bioshocked360]

I did all of them. :lol:

[StarKnightX]

All but #9 , #7 , #6 and #2.
#9 because I haven't played Fallout 3 and #7 I've done to a smaller extent (like in RPGs) but not excessively , same with #6.

[StarKnightX]

Ace Combat 6 or Grand Theft Auto 4 (renting one)?

[ZerotypeX]

I love #1. In Mega Man X, i would always dash and try to jump at the right moment and when X hovers over to the boss, it looks like he has his fists up ready to beat someone up...good times

[The Crotch]

Warning: If you do not do #4 on the list linked to above, you are officially playing videogames wrong.

[hankmecrankme]

[BlueScrote]

1,4,6 only.


Too much nintendo on that list.


The only one I don't do (or rather didn't) was go SEGA! when I played a sonic game. probably because The first sega console iI owned was a DC and I was old enough by then to not do that. "EA SPORTS! ITS IN THE GAME!" on the other hand...

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Gak! VC for 30? Dracula X for 10? Even Guitar Hero Aerosmith is tempting for 10.

Godddamn GS.

[corrosivefrost]

1,2,4,5,6,9

[dallow]

GS sale price revealed?

Hehe, I used to say "EA. It's in the game." too....

[The Crotch]

Ee. Eh. Sports. It's in the game.

[mykevermin]

The "jumping" thing they did for Mega Man and SMB3 is kinda one category.

And I used to do it in Castlevania all the time as well. One of the games didn't freeze its animations following the collection of the endstage whatever-the-hell-it-was, and as my Belmont slowly descended towards the ground, I yelled out "WHAT THE fuck!!?!?!?!?"

[dallow]

Ee. Eh. Sports. It's in the game.
Much better! haha

Hmm, I'd buy VC again if I was crazy.
There's a few things I'll pick up, mostly PSP and DS.

[hankmecrankme]

The install took longer than the download. I think it was 15 minutes max for me. *shrug*

Yeah, it only took like fifteen minutes. I just made a sandwich while I waited. No biggie.

That's nothing compared to the two hours of my life I wasted wisely spent playing Home.

[Maklershed]

I haven't logged in to Home in awhile.

[benjamouth]

I haven't logged in to Home in awhile.

Free lap dances and leg grinds at Dallow's apartment, apparently.;)

You bring tears of sadness to my eyes. :cry:

[zewone]

I'm going to buy a second copy of Valkryia Chronicles if I can find a sealed copy. I don't want a gutted copy since I want to keep it sealed for collecting purposes.

[dallow]

Have you seen the japanese cover for VC zew?
It's so nice.
There's also a Japanese CE that usually goes for about $150ish on ebay.

EDIT:

Here's the "Best of" cover. Not sure if the original is different, but I like this one.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/01/vcgcbest.jpg

[zewone]

I haven't.

I just went by Amazon.co.jp and I see it now. Very nice.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/619vcAdArQL._SS400_.jpg

The American/Euro cover isn't bad either.

Speaking of which, I really, really want a copy of the UK version of MGS4 but I'm having no luck of finding a way to obtain it.

[manthing]

I'm never logging in to Home again.

But, but, there's a Guitar Hero spot now.

[dallow]

How much for MGS4?
Yeah, the cover is much nicer.

Just wanted to let people know if they are interested.

[Maklershed]

Yes. You use to be able to game Netflix by removing everything in your queue but the thing you want. I found out the hard way that that trick doesn't work for Gamefly. Low availability for everything .. even shitty games and the insanely slow shipping speeds are why I'm no longer a member.

[ninja dog]

Fuck. well, I got 2 months for 5 bucks. If I can rent like 5 games in that time and beat them, I'll be happy :)

Interesting... the trick still works for me on gamefly.

[FriskyTanuki]

You can do that for new releases when they come out and it works 100%.

[mykevermin]

anyone else use Gamefly here? what's up wth everything being low availability? does that mean I may not get something, even if its the only thing in my queue?

I have about 17 games in my queue, including a number of high availability titles. Still, I mail shit in on a Monday, they get it on Tuesday, don't report it until Wednesday, and don't ship a title out until Thursday.

They're fucking dreadful, man. Three times as slow as Netflix.

And the queue might as well not exist in their minds. They should just call it the "wheel of somethin' or other." They skipped right over HOTD: Overkill and about 3 other "high availability" titles to make sure I got "Prince of Persia" tomorrow, like I was fuckin' clamorin' for it.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

When I had Gamefly, I would ship a game out and they would get it the next day, mailing my next game that day or the day after. And I would usually get the game within two days of them mailing it at the most.

[distgfx]

Yeah , compared to netflix with their send it back monday , receive it AND send your next one out tuesday , and receive my new one wednesday.

Was Prince of Persia "available now"? I've found from experience that regardless of queue position , they will almost always send out a game thats "available now" farther down your list over one thats "high" near the top.

As for receiving the games , sometimes I'm lucky and they get the "fast return" from my post office , sometimes they don't. Wish I knew a way to always get the fast return.

I didn't get that until they opened their Tampa facility. Finally, something good about living in FL.

Yeah , shipping speed from gamefly improved dramatically when they opened the tampa facility.

[ninja dog]

I guess it all depends on where you're located for netflix and gamefly. Netflix is instant for me because they have a Chicago facility...things arrive and come back within 2 days always. Gamefly has a place in Pittsburgh that is apparently serving the chicago area, which makes no fucking sense.

Finished CoD4 on Hardened tonight. a bit like slicing my penis with a razor blade at times, but pretty cool overall. Gonna play Mirror's Edge next ( a game I never would have bought, but got through gamefly, yay) and Fable 2 is on the way...may as well finish that game up.

[gunm]

Gonna make an effort to finish off GTAIV tonight...I hope. :p

[RelentlessRolento]

When I had Gamefly, I would ship a game out and they would get it the next day, mailing my next game that day or the day after. And I would usually get the game within two days of them mailing it at the most.


yeah, same here. it takes longer for me but usually the day after I put the game in my mailbox a game from my que gets sent out to me.

on that note Midnight Club LA is coming... and I don't enjoy racers at all. It's a rockstar game so I at least give it a chance since they are the kings of atmosphere and personas.

I put Tokyo Beat Down on my que as well... I miss basic fun beat-em-ups...

I think the only facilities for Gamefly are LA, Texas, Florida, and Pittsburgh, so there aren't many places yet.

[ninja dog]

had no idea it was such a small operation.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'm in Miami and one is in Ft. Lauderdale so it's not that far from me. I do hope they expand though to cope with people's complaints because I am enjoying it thoroughly.

[RelentlessRolento]

I expect Phantasy Star Portable sales to spike this weekend due to both the GS sale and a firmware leak.

[Rei no Otaku]

Never used Gamefly. I just sign games out from work...

[RelentlessRolento]

...which is without question a better deal, but not everyone is able.

[distgfx]

...which is without question a better deal, but not everyone is able.

Yea, but at least we get to buy newly released games for a little over $40 I suppose. Even so, I'm happy with gamefly. Less work and more play for me. Probably gonna upgrade to the 2 game plan just so I can have one game I want and rent one of the games you guys are usually going nuts over.

What plan do you have with them ReRo? Reach their 5% off everything status yet?

[RelentlessRolento]

I think I got one more month till the 5%.

Right now I'm on the 2 games at once plan. I have it set so I always have one game from them at my house always and one out sometimes. Today I sent out Valkyrie Chronicles since I'll be buying it at GS this Saturday night.

[distgfx]

What's your other game right now then?

I currently have CaD WoW, fun stuff.

Did you get any, err, deals for your plan?

[heavyd853]

Beat re5 today, well worth the money I payed to get it.

I already started a second playthrough with the retro horror or whatever turned on, makes the laser from the guns impossible to see though -_-

[RelentlessRolento]

The other one I sent out the day I got it since I beat it that same day and it wasn't worth having... MK vs DC

I never expected anything from it, but MK is always a fun fighting game distraction that's easy as hell.

Midnight Club LA should be here saturday, so I look forward to that even though I'm not into cars or racing at all.

[seanr1221]

I signed up for Gamefly 2 months ago and have been pretty satisfied. They take a little long to ship, but they have been sending me the game at the top of my list now for the past 3 times (despite low availabilty). I have 2 games out at a time so there's always something to play.

[Rei no Otaku]

Sure I do. Employee discount.

Anyway, I was sad to see my store still didn't get Tokyo Beatdown. I want that game badly...

Tokyo Beatdown looks cool. I wouldn't mind playing ti sometime. I'll wait for a price drop or something.

wish I could play all day, but I gotta go to an students reception at my law school :( then I have to haul my 360 over to a friend's place to play Ninja Gaiden 2 on a 13" 15 year old Daewoo crt tv while he records the sound. I guess he wants "violent blood and gore" sounds for an art project. This should be interesting...I wonder if I'll even be able to see what's going on. :lol:

Checks achievements. No gun kills achievement - check. Hmmm, guess I don't suck by dallow's standards. Hooray for me!

But would chapter 7 have been a fuckload less frustrating if I had used guns? Most definitely.

[dallow]

I guess "frustrating" for you equated to "thrilling" for me.
Damn I loved that game.

I should go back and finish the speed runs.

[distgfx]

Those are the best part of the game for me...

[corrosivefrost]

Yes, getting repeatedly mobbed by 7532 guys with guns when you come out the van was "thrilling". I was "exhilarated" when I had to repeatedly attempt to dodge them all and get shot while trying to escape.

[Bioshocked360]

That part only took me 2-3 tries, but the server room was a little frustrating. I loved the game though.

[dallow]

That was easy peasy. Took about 3-4 tries until I found the path that only puts you in the line of fire of one guy. (and since he's directly in front of you, give him a jump kick and keep moving as the truck and upper pipe portion to climb on top are right past him.)

Ninja dog, there are only 1 or 2 spots where you have to take down a single guy.
Everything else you can just run past if you know how to move.

[corrosivefrost]

That part only took me 2-3 tries, but the server room was a little frustrating. I loved the game though.

I had less trouble in the server room... that was at least a little timing and a little luck. The getting out the van thing was just random -- and every strategy/video I found for it had the player snapping the neck of the first guy with his back turned, stealing his gun, and mowing down the few people on the way to the pipe.

[dallow]

Wow, I never did it like that.

As soon as you get out, turn around and go through the back (this hallway is empty), stick to the left walls, and that's it.
You'll get detected as you're running inside there but it really doesn't matter as there's no one.

There's literally one guy to face.
It's definitely not random as I did it lots of times. They always get alerted in the same spot, the same guy is always waiting for me, and I give him the same kick. (sometimes I slide, to be 8-) )

[Dr Mario Kart]

Did you ever clear your PM box, daylo?

I gotta come up there at some point next time I have business in the area for some street fighter. You play it with any of your people locally?

[dallow]

Oh, oops, I'll clear it when I get home.
Nah, no one around here plays SF that I know personally.
If you have a stick that works, bring it, I just have a basic one.

[mykevermin]

This MacHeist software bundle got awesome.

There's this program called Delicious Library that puts together a virtual...well, library...of your books, cds, games. Uses the iSight camera to scan the UPC of the item and downloads the cover art and info, putting it into your library.

Total OCD enabling software. I want my frickin' license so I can add more items.

[Inf^Shini]

The Van and server room definitely were the hardest parts for me. I was also irritated when I thought she would grab a ledge and then just fall to her doom >.>

I wanted to like it also (neat concept), but by the time I finished all the chapters, I was too irritated to play the game anymore and returned it. Maybe it was the fact that I tried to do the "no gun" run the first time through, or the fact that the cutscenes looked....odd.

It's less of a deal on PS3 because nobody has mics. ;) On XBL, I'm always in a party chat, so I never talk to other people I play with.

VF5 on 360 was sweet, because NOBODY talked. So I just cranked some music.

People have mics in killzone 2, that's a serious problem. None of the options will allow you turn it off either unless you host a server. I don't wanna have to mute my TV, I still want to hear all the action, just not the people.

EDIT: Just another problem to add to KZ2's MP.

Put a pillow on it?

Did that, put it in my closet too under my clothes, nadda. I was surprised it was picking up noise in the fucking closet. Might as well break the mic itself and just use it to mute everyone.

[RelentlessRolento]

I don't mind no party since all players seem to share the same chat line unless in squads. I mainly hate when people don't play their jobs correctly. Let's just say TMK is not the best tactitian.

the PA games are great I'm sure, but I can't really play them seeing as I never like PA at all in the first place ever.

I do, since when I play with friends a party system would make it so we're always on the same team and join the game at the same time. Not one of us joins a game and the other is like "find another, that one is full now"

Penny Arcade on sale makes me sad. Not because I bought it. But because I bought it months ago, forgot about it, and haven't made much more progress than you could in the demo. <_<

I'm at the Wesker/ Jill fight on my RE5 Veteran run. Also bought Prince of Persia 360 tonight and played that a little.

So thus far, my Finish-a-game-before-buying-a-game thing has been working.

Sad news is this GameDays sale is about to fuck it up anyway so whatever.

Also, I reached the boat part of Mirror's Edge, said fuck this shit and started playing other games.

Is it wrong that GHIII pissed me off so much I'm looking forward to Scratch! Ultimate DJ more than DJ Hero?

I wonder what the correlation is between negative attitudes towards the pricepoint of the PS3 and one's purchase of computers based on their gaming capabilities?

;)

FWIW, I did get my very first games on my computer the other week. As a part of the $39 MacHeist bundle, I got World of Goo and a set of classic board games from Freeverse. But I don't spend $800, nor $1500 to play games.

Though I've been known to play a game of Red Hot Pawn (www.redhotpawn.com) now and again.

[Shrapnellistic]

Just go to Settings > Audio Device Settings > Bluetooth Headset and where you can adjust the sensitivity you can turn it 'Off' which is what I have to do in lobbies of games since Sony couldn't of been bothered to put a parental control setting to mute incoming VOIP.

My absurd $1300 tax refund was going towards a laptop and this one was the best bang for the buck I could find. The Video card is a nice plus.

This computer does a million more things better than a PS3 does. I don't see any correlation there. The PS3 is still a worthless device to me, even if it was half price.

Unless you hate GTA I'd really recommend chinatown wars. I've been playing it on breaks at work and when my roommate drives. One of the best DS games I've played. It feels like a quick and fun but real GTA game. The graphics are awesome for DS and there's a real feeling of 3D physics in the game, which I did not expect at all. Drug dealing is fun, too. Touch Screen parts are fun too.

Played some RE5 Mercenaries Mode online tonight (with a random person) and it was pretty fun. We had to play the level twice though because the first time he died. We both knew what we were doing, but the mini-boss of that level was THOSE MOTHER-fuckING ROACHES!. But we unlocked what we had to and now Mercenaries will become much easier.

[hankmecrankme]

Finished RE5 again, that's what, seven times now? Finally did a run through on veteran. Now I just need to grind for BP so I can have infinite ammo for every gun.

[RelentlessRolento]

I still think Chris Redfield has the weirdest looking jaw i've ever seen in RE5...

I haven't played the game yet besides the demo, but I have to say capcom did a superb job on the cutscene animations as well as use of dynamic angles.

Still don' care for it too much though... half because I don't enjoy horror based games/movies and second RE just never interested me enough... probably the only one I ever liked and saw someone play all the way through was RE3.

just a heads up, you can get the 360 camera for dirt cheap now... get the "In the Movies" pack for $19.99 and it comes with the camera. It's more usefully as a webcam though.

[gunm]

I'm real tempted to pick up TR Anniv off Steam. $5 is my impulse buy price point for DL games, I guess.

I will say, Dead Rising was a very good game with a very strange structure that kinda killed some of the fun, but made it unique.

Pretty much didn't buy it exactly for gaming. But it's got a decent video card in it to run stuff on not max settings.

Anything to say something negative about my posts, eh?


you got a good deal my friend. A laptop w/ that vidcard is usually easily over $1000

it's early so I expect it to look better later... it actually looks better than I was expecting, since I was thinking it would be a pretty close socom rip-off.

the maps seem massive.

Looks pretty cookie cutter. Guns, ramshackle homes, and more guns? I get the feeling I've been there once or twice (or a trillion times) this gen.

Don't flatter yourself princess.

My laptop has a 512MB video card, but I refuse to play PC games because PC gayming is for wierdos and pedos.

Which one are you?

:-s

more like LAG, am i rite?

You heard it here first guys. Your official LAG™ joke headquarters.

I'm wondering what the big genre will be next after the FPS fad dies out...

previously it was sandbox games (kinda still is a bit), now it's also kinda music games as well, but for the future... any predictions?

I'm hoping fighters or beat-em-ups but I doubt it.

It's already happening .. tower defense games. And I think the fighting/beatemup "fad" happened in the arcade/sega days.

Doesn't mean that it can't happen again. I mean look at crap like pogs.

[Maklershed]

Pogs are back?

[StarKnightX]

Pogs are back?

Not right now they aren't I don't think (although I do see them in stores) but didn't they just come around again for like the 3,4 or 5th time just a couple years ago?

I was mostly just referring to the fact that most "fads" come in cycles.

exactly. Digital distribution already shows that it can re-start fads. Geometry Wars is to blame for the oversaturation of SHMUPs on XBLM/PSN and others.

I personally wouldn't mind a re surge of popularity in RPGs, but not by square at all and in an entirely new direction... valkyrie chronicles is a good vision of this: a new setting, system, and lvling structure that is good and dosn't demand too much from the player.

I've been eager to play Stalker, Crysis, TF2 (For reals), and Company of Heroes. Starcraft 2 will be nice next year too.

Do you think crysis is worth buying for this laptop? I don't care if it's max settings, I just want to play it.

[refusedchaos]

^Crysis was more for "OMG look at dem gfx!!"...the game it self is quite boring at times (depending how you go about things for each mission) and the helicopter levels are...>_<...if you can get it for cheap like $10, yea, give it a go

What's with the close crotch shots ... they're trying to prove she's not a tranny right?
you know that she is the blonde one right?

Fighters and beat em' ups were big in the 16-bit gen...I don't think they'll come back around. I mean, SFIV had a huge marketing push and still only moved 400k on both systems. Which isn't bad, but not genre-reviving good. And beat-em-ups get low scores from sites just for being beat-em-ups, which sucks.


I think first person perspective games, shooters and all, will remain popular. There's really no signs of slowing down, only selling more and more.
