I loved FFXII, mostly for the great gameplay that needs to be adapted for more RPGs. It was like a single-player version of FFXI's combat system.
FFXI may be really difficult and archaic on the whole (the design sucks), but the battle system really kicks ass when you have a party that works.
And it takes a LOT of work to get to that point. That's the main reason I stopped playing.

I own the link cable, I liked the link cable, but:
Four Swords
FFCC
Animal Crossing (barely)
Are all the games I can think of that used it.
All the Splinter Cells, Wind Waker, Fire Emblem... lesse... at least one James Bond game... I wanna say Rogue Squadron 3, but I can't quite remember.
And probably the various Pokemon games.
EDIT: Pac-Man VS! Can't forget that one.
EDIT2: Lord of the Rings, Harvest Moon, Sonic Adventures, The Sims, Mario Golf, some football games... Metroid Prime...
They didn't graphically kill the character in a violent cutscene either.
It's been a long time since I played it, but I vaguely recall Phantasy Star IV's big death fitting that description.
And Gremio in Suikoden gave me the gibblies, even if it was off screen.

Yeah, it works well with the programmable party AI in FFXII and you don't have to pay $15 a month just for more of that battle system. ;)

The juxtaposition of that little guy and Patrick Bateman is perversely awesome.
Also, while I loved the combat in both FFVII and FFX, I would love an option to easily skip summon animations (if this was already done in FFXII, then great. I never played it.). We all complain about hearing the same dialogue over and over in one type of game, but seeing the same cutscene in a JRPG is supposedly eye candy.

The problem is that I can't get through Dead Rising :( they spawn the Clown boss before the gun fight boss which means I face the Clown with a Golf club, a bowling ball and a purse :(

As far as video game knowledge, if you consider insider information part of that, then yes, it wouldn't be a contest because that's an unfair playing field. I consider myself well versed in games and pretty much everything except the state of current music.
I also had a Jaguar at some point which I got for $5. I'm sure that counts for something. I wish I had my $5 back, though.
No, not just "insider" knowledge or industry connections, but she plays and reviews games and technology for a living as well as for fun too.

Thank you for the heads up good sir! Wouldn't want to subject myself to that crap without that knowledge.
Let us see if Morgan Webb aids in making gamers look like 10 year old girls stuck in adult bodies. I'm guessing there is going to be a lot of awkward laughing and horrid gamer jokes.
Why Morgan Webb? It's like bringing Roeper on to discuss Monsters vs Aliens releasing. Why must we justify our hobby?

You can save when you die. Why is that a problem, you ask? Many games do that and put you right back where you started from at the beginning of the area or the dungeon you're in. Well...you see, that's the thing. In Dead Rising, you're in a town's shopping mall. They put you AT THE BEGINNING OF THE fuckING GAME! WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THIS!?

The save system is fine. People are just used to :baby: wii games now. I played the hell out of dead rising, and I did it with my arm in a cast (broken elbow) too -- if you use your head, you can find ways to level up like a fiend and next thing you know, most of the game is average difficulty... especially if you keep grabbing the katana and the uzi right near the beginning.

I played through all of the original Rogue Squadron with a broken arm in a sling. These things happen.
And I don't buy the "games are easier now." Having the whole game start over with you stronger is just lazy design IMO. Even UN Squadron, which I spent hours of my life playing, allowed you regain your progress with these things called "Continues." And that came out in 1991. It wasn't a true save system, but in Mega Man X2, I didn't have to restart from the beginning as long as I wrote down the code after beating a level.
I fully understand that it is a design choice, and it makes the game feel that much more desperate, but I will not choose to grind prior to making my way through a game.

The tag that Ice-T mentioned on the web video (talking about CoD4) is the same tag that he mentioned on Fallon and the clan he mentioned in the CoD4 vid (SMG), is the same clan name that he mentioned on Fallon.

I'm hoping the singles won't be more than $10 each, and albums maybe $20.
So maybe $50 max total for those 3 singles and the LP. But hopefully less!

In theory, you shouldn't have to grind. But you have to play smart if you don't. The only thing that present any sort of challenge straight out of the box is dealing with the convicts after the first boss fight. Can't do it? Just make sure you hit a bathroom to save prior to attempting, if possible. Don't stop to save the girl they're having fun with. That's about the only part I had a problem with. And when I got to later in the game and I died (I think it only happened once...)? I'd done so much, restarting from my last save wasn't appealing, so I was okay with restarting, because I knew that being that much more powerful, with more life, speed, and damage meant that what took me so long before was going to only take a fraction of the time.
The game is excellent as it is. :)

The major hinderance of the game is the 1 save file, and you can only save at specific locations (many of which I haven't found yet). I know where one of the Horror books are (I need to find another so I can get 50%+ PP for every Zombie kill). For right now though, I'm going to set my sights on one goal: Zombie Genocider.

You guys are stupid, the POINT of Dead Rising is to play it multiple times. Just because you guys suck doesn't mean the game does.
Eternal Sonata was also meant to be played multiple times. For anyone who listened to the English voice acting, this should have been an achievement in itself.

If a game is designed for replayability, this in itself does not make it a a good game. Correlation is not causation.
This is not to equate DR and ES, since I actually thought DR was a good game. It just wasn't my cup of tea.

It's maddening how I want these games, yet they are on the system I play the least. You'd think games like these would make me play my Wii more, but I still neglect it the most. I play my handhelds more than I play Wii.
I blame the waggle. If the Wii used just standard controls as an option for all the games, I'd put it on my main TV with the other consoles, and thus would probably be more inclined to fire it up. Every time I even think about playing Wii, I feel like it's more of a chore than anything else.
Outrun XBLA is fun. Wish there was local multiplayer so I could race against my son and daughter though.

Lazy gamer stereotype ftw? I'll still haven't picked up a couple of Wii games that I do want (although the only one I can think of at the moment is Madworld) simply because its in another room hooked up to another tv, and its not as relaxing to play as pc/xbox/ps3 games.
I finished MGS4 today. Could anyone explain to me wtf happened in the final scene? In the graveyard. Big Boss shows up, having apparently survived dying 3 other times (metal gear 1/2, the "body" in the van. And then he dies from Foxdie? but snake doesn't isn't contagious beyond that? It confused the fuck out of me, and I (relatively) understood the rest of the series (exception: see MGS2 plot).
Also, the ending cinematic was waayyyy too long. I think it was over an hour and a half long.

I'm kinda back now, but I'm still stranded in Hell. Played lots of games this past month.
I've had this shitty satellite internet for a few hours now, and goddammit does it ever suck. Suck suck suck! I'm trying to download the latest PS3 firmware update, and its taken me 20 minutes just to get to 3%.
I'm ready to move back to Atlanta now. So many things have gone wrong with this move to Nashville. I miss my zippy fast DSL most tho. But its either satellite or dialup here. That's like having the choice between AIDS or Herpes.
Anyway, at least I'm back online now. I was having some internet withdrawals being without it for a month. I'll give everyone a complete update later. I'm gonna go to bed now and cry myself to sleep again, and maybe by morning my PS3 firmware update will be at 10%.

KZ2 controls are so annoying. It's like the devs never played an FPS before, or otherwise deliberately set out to fuck up people who play FPSes.
The developers specifically stated that they did not want Killzone 2 to feel like your ordinary FPS title, they wanted it to do its own thing and they went for a more heavy, realistic approach. Personally id rather have it control like COD4 which controls just perfectly, but its not my game to decide. I did not end up buying it because of the controls.
I havent been playing much of anything lately, i started Final Fantasy Tactics on PSP but havent been back to it, same for Dragon Quest Swords.
I don't think KZ2's controls are realistic at all. They just feel counter-intuitive. Honestly, I think it's a very good game that is needlessly frustrating in this respect.
And yeah, I didn't buy the game for the controls either, 'cause in and of themselves, they're only different for the sake being different. And really not in a good way, IMO.
blitz6speed
04-18-2009, 07:52 AM
I agree. They do not want to change the controls tho, so nothing we can do about it. If for some reason they do decide to bring in a COD4 style control scheme (and im talking feel, not button placement), i would purchase the game in a heart beat.

A friend sold me Spidermang Web of Shadows for 10.00 Figured it was worth a shot at that. I had rented it briefly back in November.
Spider-man: WoB was kind of ok... except for the shitty voice acting and character designs. It was the first game that I got 1,000 points in as well....

I don't have any paypal, and they're all expensive in stores though.

I was putting my list of vidya games together for the CAG collection thing and realized I have an insane backlog for the 360 alone. I haven't even got to the PS3 and PS2 yet. I'm getting kinda depressed about my game buying addiction (that I wasn't aware I had).

KZ2 controls are so annoying. It's like the devs never played an FPS before, or otherwise deliberately set out to fuck up people who play FPSes.
:lol: sad thing is I felt the same for a week... now I can't stand playing other FPSs. they feel to stiff and unrealistic.
Ever the contrarian, eh RR? Oh well, I've played KZ2 off an on over the past couple months and I think it still sucks.

online is great, but single player is so-so. I do understand that it's not for everyone though.
Probably i like it because I like weight in my games... bad collision detection and unconvincing animations really take me out of games easily...

Picked up Saints Row 2 for dat tripple, since they didn't have it for the 3 60.

I still get pissed that people think it's bad. It just controls differently. It's nice to play a game with cars that actually feels different than other games. I can drive fine in GTAIV.

Web of Shadows is pretty fun.
I really enjoyed Web of Shadows. The pacing was a bit off, since last "act" takes longer than the other two combined (at least if i remember correctly). The voice acting sucked though (I'll always think of spider-man as sounding like the animated series spider-man). If the new Batman and Wolverine games turn out the same quality as WoS I'll be very happy

I just made the connection between games having a "different" mechanic control-wise, and people automagically not liking them.
GTA4 had cars that handled a bit more realistically (lets face it, still very unrealistic, but you actually had to break to take corners). People bitched about the driving because it wasn't what they expected, but was easy to get used to.
Fast Forward a year. Killzone 2. The aiming is slower. It takes getting used to. People bitch because its not the same weightless control as every other shooter.

Anyone want to co-op RE5 on 360 right now? I rented it yesterday and I'm up to Chapter 2-2 playing on normal. I've been waiting on my friend to get on AIM for a while but I'm just dying to play because the game is that good.

I thought the best part was at the very end if you Miss the very last QTE and Wesker pulls everyone into the lava. It's pretty hilarious

Sheva has only died once for me. While the AI isn't the best, I don't think it's the huge problem some people made it out to be.

Loved RE4, RE5 seems to add nothing but things I despise. Ashley was a lot easier, you could hide her or throw her in a dumpster. RE4 has replay value via the mercenaries just like RE5 too. I think I don't like the fact is it's a bad RE4 in my opinion. It's like they took RE4, re-skinned it and then made everything suck. The first time I played the demo I knew I wouldn't like it and behold, I didn't! I'm not saying it's a bad game, anyone can tell it's not a bad game. I just didn't enjoy it.

rly? Im on 6-1 right now and that dumb bitch has gotten me killed 5 times (all of them were her taking the ammo and blocking me in to die). She has only died once thouugh. The game, imo, leaves the feeling of unsatisfaction. It is just so meh. I mean, its not bad. I just cant get into it. I don't see why people are busting a nut over this game.
