If that's what it takes to enjoy this game then I retract my statement of it not being a bad game.


The most recent posts with negative comments on RE5 all complain about the AI. Seems rather silly to complain about the co-op AI, not play with a real person, and then discount the game. It's like saying CounterStrike is a lame single player FPS because all the bots suck.

I'm pretty appreciative of the fact that someone took a chance and made story-based game that has full co-op functionality. How many games out there have that, the high production values, and do it well?

They should of done what warhawk did and just drop the single player portion then. Make another RE with the story of this one slightly altered. Yes, the AI sucked, but it's not the only reason I didn't like the game. It simply wasn't fun, especially nowhere near the level everyone was saying it was. Not even the Wesker fights could save the game for me.

Probably some and still none have done it well as far as I'm concerned. :razz: Well, except Gears of War, that was awesome.

[gunm]

The game is definitely playable in single player mode. Is it as crisp as playing with a real person? No, but of course people aren't perfect either. :)

Even Gears in single player isn't as fun as with a friend.

I actually disagree, I enjoyed Gears more by myself than with a friend. That's just how I roll. 8-)

I will say it was equally as fun. I played alone first day and then with a friend on the same couch a week later.

[Mr. Anderson]

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.

I agree with Rolento, the driving in GTAIV is fantastic. It took a while to get used to, but it really does feel quite different than most other games. Plowing through newsvendors, garbage bags, street lights, and hobos is great fun.

I have to agree. There's nothing wrong with the driving in GTA4 once you get used to it.

The way I see it is that it's kinda like Killzone 2 where nothing really changed, it's just that weight and reaction has now been added.

but again, I do see Killzone 2 as something not everyone would enjoy, but GTAIV most people can enjoy easily.

[Rei no Otaku]

Speaking of GTA4, I've been playing the hell out of it recently. I'm determined to finally finish this game. I have two questions.

1. Can you continue playing after you finish the story? Just want to know if I should do side stuff before then.

2. Is Lost and the Damned worth it?

[Inf^Shini]

I have played RE5 completely through with the AI and haven't found anything to really complain about except that they can burn through ammo like no tomorrow unless you hand them the bolt-action rifle.

I really don't know why people keep complaining about the AI being a problem :-k

[Nelo Ice]

I have to agree. There's nothing wrong with the driving in GTA4 once you get used to it.

same here i tried playing SR2 again after play a bit of TLAD and the driving was wayyyy off so driving felt like complete shit compared to gta :cold:

edit: just saw ur questinos rei
1. yeah u can contiue to play afer the story
2. lost and damned is worth it especially with the improved bike controls

1. Like every GTA you can continue. keep that in mind for future releases since it's a norm for the series... and a good one.

2. It dosn't bring too much new to the table, but the biggest plusses are: somewhat of a checkpoint system, great story, the bikes (I hate cars now after riding the new bikes), and a few new weapons

[Krymner]

I've played a bunch of GTAIV the last few weeks too, and don't have a problem with the driving at all. It works pretty good, IMO. I'm getting towards the end now, and have been doing all the side mission stuff as I go. I doubt I'll play it much after I beat it other than to drive over some hookers every now and then.

I still haven't tried out RE5 yet (other than the demo), but I did do another playthru of RE4 on my Cube last week. It has really made me want to replay the original series again. The REmake is still my favorite, hands down. Clunky controls and all.

I also finally got around to starting Dark Sector. Its mediocre, but an enjoyable little action game and well worth the $8 I paid for it.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

The problem with RE5 is that I shouldn't fucking have to play it in co-op.

[corrosivefrost]

The problem with RE5 is that I shouldn't fucking have to play it in co-op.

:rofl:

sounds like you bought the wrong version then. the one you were looking for was RE4. :lol:

[Jesus_S_Preston]

No. I bought a resident evil game. Capcom should have at least tried to give me one.

I can't wait until Lost Planet 2 is a kart racing game and Street Fghter V is a flight sim.

[RelentlessRolento]

Well, Lost Planet 2 has become a really nice looking japanese Gears of War...

I wish it played more like the original.

[hankmecrankme]

RE5 is so bad ass. Being focused on co-op is no problem for me, since I'm always hanging with a friend. 2 copies of RE5, 2 TVs, and 2 360s is a recipe for complete fucking addcition.

RE5 is a fucking fantastic game. We're on our third time though in co-op. You people who don't have any friends to play it with are the problem. I can't think of a better co-op console game ever.

the coop is just a minor problem for me...the real problem is that it just a boring, bland, non-scary game....The only parts i enjoyed were the Wesker fights

Ah, right, I forgot. When we don't enjoy a game you do, it's our problem for whatever reason you can think of. Gotcha.

On a serious note though, even if I were to play with someone, I'd worry just as much about my partner fucking up. Want other reasons as to why? Look through the past few pages.

[RelentlessRolento]

i'd play RE5 if it was like this:

Resident Evil was never a scary game.

And other than the first two, every one before 4 was a bland, boring, non-scary game.

At least this one is fun.

[refusedchaos]

RE1 = cool

RE2 = not rly scary but fun

RE3 = same, liked how Nemesis jumped outta nowhere with a rocket launcher

RE4 = what is this? A Tom Crusie movie?...ah but he didnt bone the chick. Gameplay was solid, hated the story, the modes were cool.

RE5 = go away Sheva, *yawn* this game done yet? so boring, Countdown Vampires was better than this shit (and that was shit)

again, these are just my opinions.

RE5 is terrible solo. Very fun with a friend. i'm tired of it though after two playthroughs but need to unlock a few more things.

[gunm]

I don't think RE5 was ever designed to be a horror adventure. It was meant to be a co-op action game to appeal to the Western audience. And yeah, beyond the first one, I can't think of a truly "scary" RE.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion on whether or not they like the game, of course.

[MarkMan]

so i started adding games to my cag collection and stopped once i realized it didn't have all games or lots of the older games :(

You can submit them yourself.

[Maklershed]

Indeed. I just did that today for the MGS Essential Collection.

[gunm]

I will stick with the IGN game collection database for now.

[FriskyTanuki]

I haven't updated my IGN list in at least a year, but CAG's collection list is a lot easier to add stuff with when it's in the database. I can just type keywords so that games come up quickly and then just click the "add to collection" to add the games I have without messing with the way adding games on IGN worked at that point.

[MarkMan]

You can submit them yourself.

After I submitted a few games, I was like, no thanks.

lol.

You however, can submit them yourself.

Start with all the NES games.

Thanks!

[Razzuel]

I am loving Persona 4; it is such an amazing game.

[corrosivefrost]

personally, either gears of war shits all over RE5 for coop for me.

[Luftwaffles08]

Just finished up God of War 2 yesterday. The absence of my 360 has piqued my PS2 interest again, to the point that today I traded in my fat launch PS2 for a brand new slimline. The old PS2 had to go after I discovered it couldn't play PS1 games anymore.

With the RE5 talk here, is RE4 for the PS2 worth picking up? My roommate had it for Gamecube back in college but I could never get into it. I'm worried that if I get into my PS2 again, my already large back log of 360 games could grow that much larger.

[gunm]

I haven't had any issues with the IGN database, so yeah, I'll wait until Frisky uploads all the games into the CAG one too, lol. ;)

[FriskyTanuki]

The database can't handle anything older than PS1 or Game Boy, so just focus on adding those that you have that aren't in the database yet. If you refuse to do the work, you could probably convince a few people with swag to do your dirty work for you. ;)

[ihadFG]

Hehe...I guess if you are trying to do old-school games, it would be a pain since there are so many that aren't in the database. I've only bothered adding games from last gen and this gen (mainly just collector's editions that weren't in the database)

I figure over time people will add the older games.

[jer7583]

Crysis is so good. Well it was really good before getting to the alien ship. I'm liking it a little less in the frozen tundra.

Playing on hard is the shit, though. It's like halo on legendary, painful, but fun.

I kinda want to play warhead on hard after this again.

And Halo 2 on Vista sucks. It's all stuttery and choppy. I read on the forums that it's because modern machines run it too fast and that makes it choppy. Looks real pretty though. It was worth the $10 to get achievements in Halo 2.

[js1]

After picking up Resistance 2 again, I am actually enjoying the single player, not sure where the story is going and I miss the co-op single, but I am enjoying the first few levels when compared to the first few levels of Killzone 2.

[jer7583]

Wah Wah Halo sucks. It was a great game at the time. Not so good going back to it, but I dare you to find a modern FPS that doesn't crib from it extensively.

[The Crotch]

Wah Wah Halo sucks. It was a great game at the time. Not so good going back to it, but I dare you to find a modern FPS that doesn't crib from it extensively.Does Half-Life 2 count as a modern FPS?

[jer7583]

I suppose you're right. If I had to say it took one thing it might be vehicle sections, or expanding on the "in the world" type physics thing, but yeah, Valve does their own thing, and they do it really, really well.

But comparing the static game world of Half-Life 1 with the physics based world of Half-Life 2, that's something that was really only common after Halo did it with so many objects and characters being movable and physics based. It's a tenuous link, but that's about as close as you could come to linking the two.

It's more plausible that Halo expanded on Half Life's advances in AI and scripting.

Dunno man. I played Halo 2 multiplayer a little sometime shortly after it came out and was like "Eh. This is Halo? This is why everyone loves xbox?" I decided to actually play through Halo 3 since a CAG hooked me up with it cheap. Hated the campaign, hated the multiplayer. I don't understand why people like it so damn much, really. There's much better things out there (at least compared to Halo 3, where most of my experience lies).

[Mr. Beef]

I always figured that the same people who really, really, really loved Halo were the same people who really, really, really loved Madden and such.

There's really no connection between Halo and Madden other than some false perception of "every popular game is for stupid jocks"

The Suffering! It Has Finally Ended! :cry::cry::cry:

I have finally done it. :bomb::bomb::bomb:

I have conquered Final Fantasy XII

[whoknows]

Someday I'll beat FFXII

For now though, I'm going to start Dark Sector.

Maybe Battlefield Bad Company. Anyone have any opinions on it? Mainly single player...also does online have a party system?

[js1]

Me too, probably when I'm 60!:lol: I started it though like two or three years ago. I'll end up starting from scratch because I won't know where I'm at in the story or game.

[whoknows]

I started it the day it came out. I got to a point where I constantly died, so I quit :-P

This coming from the guy with a Gears of War avatar.

Generic super-hero space marines, generic war for humanity's survival versus an alien threat, generic vehicle sections, generic multiplayer.

But also phenomenal graphics, well-tuned cover system, and a collection of inventive "OH SHIT" moments. (The first meeting with a Beserker comes to mind.)

Not to bash either, since I really have enjoyed the Halo series and Gears of War series, but every argument you just made against Halo can be made against Gears of War. Or any other FPS for that matter.

I don't get that. I can't understand when people trade in games for such little money. I would just keep it.
Dark Sector was actually pretty fun. I paid about $25 a while back, and traded it for the same 8-)8-)

[Mr. Beef]

So I took the time to download the Home updates, since I haven't tried it since I first got my PS3, and I thought there'd be something cool and different waiting for me.

I'm a sucker.

It covered tax on Saints Row 2.

I played 3 levels of the game and got to mess with the glaive, and that was all I wanted out of the game. It was just wasting drawer space.

Besides, I got the game free for buying GTAIV at BB.

I still have a blast playing Halo 3 online with friends. The amount of idiots who feel the need to annoy you are on every game, XBL or Halo 3 are no exception.

There's always countless of neat gametypes and map variants to keep it fresh and fun. I don't worship the game like many people, but I still have a lot of fun with it, and only a few games have come close to that for me (IE: COD, L4D).

I can see why people might dislike and I can see why people love it. I'm definitely in between. I've been playing since the first one came out when I was 12 though, so I tend to have nostalgia as well.

[Mr. Beef]

Halo 3 was fun, I'll admit. But I never saw what everyone else saw in it. The most fun I had playing it was in 4-player co-op, and I kept screwing with my friends on the last level, where you're supposed to keep driving.

EDIT: Haha, is that really Puma? Dude looks like an 11-year old!

[StarKnightX]

The only resident evil game to ever scare me was the second one (because I never played the first at the time it came out). Nemesis made me jump a few times , but it wasn't really scary , and neither was any of the other games.

Where'd all this hate for Halo come from? I can understand not liking it that much , but to think its an awful FPS? I've played a lot of FPS games and the Halo series still stands as one of my favorites. Maybe not the best series , I'm not going to say its the best FPS EVER , but certainly one of the most solid overall.

Also , I never got into the multiplayer for the game until the 3rd one (no online access to online play when the second came out). I always was more into the series for the campaign then the multiplayer. At the time I did more local multiplayer and found Timesplitters suited my needs better.

[Luftwaffles08]

Very good point. When I have a 12 year old screaming idiot in my group in L4D, it is annoying, but this does not a bad game make.

[Lions]

The halo series could have been more epic, like the first one was, but they definitely focused on the multiplayer aspect instead of the single player, and it stands out when you play the second and third campaign.
The matchmaking was probably the best for its time (Halo 2/Xbox Live), but now there's plenty of decent and AAA titles, that include a great single and multiplayer experience, so Halo no longer stands out like it used to or holds much exclusive features.
What I like about Halo I guess, is I am used to it, and it's fun for me, and there's a lot you can do between forge, and the map/game varients, but other than that, it isn't that great anymore, since there's a lot of competition this time around.

Man, I hope the sky rains jelly beans and OnLive works. I'd love a one console future... I was always against it, but I think it would be so great not worrying about which version plays the best and worry about what console is getting what exclusive.

Oh well, I'll keep waiting for that Jelly Bean storm.

[KingBroly]

The concept is interesting, but it seems really flawed and impossible for some games that require twitch/fast gameplay like racing games, twitch shooters and fighting games.

[Maklershed]

So while in a sleep induced hallucination this morning I came up with the brilliant idea to try to clear my backlog now that I have all my games listed in my collection. Maybe try to clear an entire page. Realistically I know I'll probably never accomplish this feat but it doesn't hurt to try.

Back in halo 2's prime we had a place that had a lan party every weekend. All that was played was Halo 2 (and starcraft). I was there every weekend like clockwork playing it.

I guess the reason I don't really enjoy the series anymore was because of the massive ammount of time I put into halo 2.

Hey Mak, no King Dinosaur is a season 2 Ep I *acquired*, infact I think someone who works for Shout said it was unlikely it would ever appear in a season set as they can't get clearance for any of the Lippert films (Rocket XM, Fire Maiderns etc).

It wasn't a bad episode, some quite funny stuff with the Joey the Lemur.

I guess they're all stuck in the same "casual gamer" genre and people like to throw anything remotely popular in there. I'm cool with that. The games are easy to pick up and play and don't require you to sit through an hour of text before even controlling your character or saving.

I'm playing through MGS2 again and this made me laugh. It made me think of what kind of game Kojima would make for the OnLive service since he wouldn't be limited to discrete file sizes.

"I'm going to need about 4TB of space, and if possible, all of your available bandwidth. MGS5 is going to have 36 hours of FMV, 6 hours of interaction."

[ninja dog]

I skip cutscenes usually these days. I'm drifting towards the pick up and play kinds of games these days. Kinda sucks because I'd like to play something like Persona 4, but knowing it's a huge committment puts me off. I'd rather play Wanted for 4 hours :lol:

I'd rather play Wanted for 4 hours :lol:The Airplane level in that game is pretty money. Everything else? Not so muuucchhh.

4 hours? Whats taking you so long? :D

[Rei no Otaku]

:lol:

I have a typical jock neighbor that plays Fatlus video games, so I guess mouth breathers with unhealthy obsessions over futanari and tentacle porn aren't the only ones who play those shitty games. Kind of weird when some dude in a muscle shirt with his arms looking like he just got done hanging some nerds from their tighty whities comes up to you right after tanning and asks "You play that Tokyo Beat Down, dawg? Shit is hot mothafuckin' fiyah! I love my DS. Keeps me busy when the nobodies are trying to work out their shit at the gym and I have to wait my turn."

So there are stupid jocks with good taste in games? Interesting.

Halo still sucks.

[tiredfornow]

Why do you keep calling 'em stupid?

[whoknows]

I'm about halfway through Dark Sector I think.

Reminds me a lot of RE5...except it's better.

[dallow]

I've gone from about 25 DS games to 41 in two weeks. :O

I hope TWEWY is good.

[red flare graf]

I hope TWEWY is good.

I totally just guessed what that stands for and I've never even heard of it.

[Mr. Beef]

So there are stupid jocks with good taste in games? Interesting.That's pretty narrow-minded of you. [-(

Why do you keep calling 'em stupid?
Exactly. I had good friends in school growing up that were jocks.

[tiredfornow]

Isn't Rei a grown ass man? Why is he still living with high school stereotypes? 8-)

[Rei no Otaku]

Isn't Rei a grown ass man? Why is he still living with high school stereotypes? 8-)
Because I'm an asshole?

Honestly, no offense to anyone but if you're a jock I probably don't like you. If you lose sleep over that, sorry but you'll just have to deal with that fact.

[dallow]

Did a jock rob your Gamestop once?

[Rei no Otaku]

Did a jock rob your Gamestop once?
No, but he kicked over the magazine rack. Then blew a handful of glitter in my face.

[Mr. Beef]

Hey Rei, if a kid of yours grew up and was a jock, would you be furious?

[Rei no Otaku]

Hey Rei, if a kid of yours grew up and was a jock, would you be furious?

Nah, I'd just shake my head in disappointment at him every time I looked his way. Much as my parents do with me now.

[tiredfornow]

I was just wondering why, Rei. Not a big deal to me, but did something happen when you were younger that fueled your hate for jocks? :lol:Hey Rei, if a kid of yours grew up and was a jock, would you be furious?He'd probably gut him and fill the insides of one of his Evangelion life size figures.

[dallow]

What is a jock exactly anyway?
I would have to play sports to be a jock right?

[tiredfornow]

An athlete.

[Mr. Beef]

It shouldn't matter if you're a jock or not. If someone's an asshole, then you can hate. If they're not, then there's no need.

I did embarrass one of the jocks in my high-school playing basketball once. 8-)

[dallow]

I wish I was good at sports.
Mainly basketball and soccer.

Questions:

1. Is DarthPuma really 11 years old?
2. Why was JFD banned? Perm?

[Maklershed]

1. He appears to be. At the very least he's small enough that his wrist watch is the size of his noggin.

2. He asked to be banned because he needed a break from CAG. Presumably to make police sketches of himself.

[gunm]

I got into sports later in high school. In college, it was all about pick up basketball games, just about every day/night. I also did some intramural volleyball. Now my knees are like paper mache. I blame Jordan and Gatorade for encouraging me to "Be Like Mike", lol.

[Mr. Beef]

I used to get shit for the "Be Like Mike" ads all the time when I was a kid.

[tiredfornow]

Some really fat kid knocked me out with the tetherball pole when I was in 2nd grade. Got my maroon Girbaud shorts all bloodied up and my mom further ruined them with bleach. Worst day of my fuckin' life.

I guess thats what happens when you're a 2nd grader running shit on the tetherball court. 8-)

Fuck this, I'm gonna go listen to John Coltrane and lift.

Then go home and maybe try to finish RE4 for a fucking change.

All my friends are jocks. My school is jocks, rednecks, and smelly kids. So I'll take jocks.

This thread got real depressing real fast. I'm not sure why there still needs to be such a dichotomy.

Gilbert Arenas sponsors a professional Halo 3 team and was caught boosting his rank.
Nate Robinson saluted to the camera during a game to prove that he played CoD4
Vin Diesel has played Dungeons and Dragons for twenty years.
Curt Shilling retired from baseball and opened his own game development company.

Can we talk about games again now?

[dallow]

Basketball is a game.

My Mavs beat those Spurs Saturday.
Here's to Ginobli staying hurt!

[Mr. Beef]

Damn, I figured getting the team I wanted in Digimon Dusk would be tough, but holy shit. I'm not used to this amount of level-grinding.

[hankmecrankme]

All of my friends played sports in high school. I didn't, because I don't give a fuck about sports.

[Lions]

Man, all you guys who stereo-type people and label them as you did, are just as bad as the jocks who picked on you at school or what ever reason they gave you for hating them. I'm not a jock, and I guess I break every stereotypical label because of the clothes I wear, games I play, sports I play, attitude, and groups I hang out with. And I'm sure there's plenty of people out there as well that are the same.

I don't mean to be a dick, but some of you need to grow up. I understand most meathead jocks out there are morons who try to bully the weak nerdy kids, and are complete idiots, but seriously, labeling all jocks as dumb assholes, makes you look just as dumb and shallow as them. If it's all in jest, then cool, but I'm sure not all of it is.

[Krymner]

The only thing now is I just tried to play it a little while ago and totally forgot what the hell I was doing. Hmm...maybe alcohol will help me remember...

Also, I started SMT Nocturne this morning. Its a fun little RPG.

Drinking makes gaming by yourself 100x more fun, if a bit more unproductive. The first time I played the Persona 3 final boss I was...a bit buzzed. And I got my ass handed to me, despite the fact that the next night I played sober and breezed through it.

[Luftwaffles08]

I have literally the last mission to do and I just couldn't bring myself to do it because of distractions. I have to choose one of the two endings and I just sort of forgot about it. With all this talk, and with my 360 coming back, perhaps it's time to put it to rest.

[corrosivefrost]

This coming from the guy with a Gears of War avatar.

Generic super-hero space marines, generic war for humanity's survival versus an alien threat, generic vehicle sections, generic multiplayer.

But also phenomenal graphics, well-tuned cover system, and a collection of inventive "OH SHIT" moments. (The first meeting with a Beserker comes to mind.)

Not to bash either, since I really have enjoyed the Halo series and Gears of War series, but every argument you just made against Halo can be made against Gears of War. Or any other FPS for that matter.

Yes, the multiplayer of GoW was totally generic. :roll:

[ninja dog]

Is Advent Children Complete truly limited? Just wondering if I should sell my copy now or wait a few weeks.

[KingBroly]

If you wait you'll get less for it. The closer you sell something to a piece of electronics' release the more resell value you can get for it.

[dallow]

Only the version with the trial is limited.
Limited in that they'll stop those once the game is released.

ACC will always be on sale.

[gunm]

You ever get your copy, d? I've seen the vids, but like to know what other people think of the actual gameplay.

[dallow]

And ACC will be released i'm the US in June.

okay, I guess as long as they haven't said they're only printing a 1000 of them or something.

I will try slap something together for that xblades thing tonight, too.

[RelentlessRolento]

should I do an illustration or animation? if both are allowed, I'll do so.

You can do either. I suppose an animation would be a lot more impressive than a static piece of art.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'm genna make a static drawing probably then animate it... so both or something...

Kinda sad that there was a good amount of interest in the game, but no one was willing to pay MSRP for it. Even me--I bought the game when it came out, but with a combo of holiday discounts and credits tied in. :p

Agreed. A kick to the groin is both more modern and much more effective.:lol::lol::lol:

[Krymner]

Pawn shop score! Added more to my PS2 RPG backlog today. Picked up .hack/Infection (part 1) and Valkyrie Profile 2 both used for $8 bucks apiece. Both in great condition too, except .hack has no instructions.

I've taken a break from PS2 RPGs since I beat Xenosaga Ep III a couple months ago, but today I started back into the backlog and picked out SMT Nocturne after playing about 15 minutes of both FF XII and DQ VIII. Wasn't thrilled about the wierdness of FFXII's combat, and the story in DQ VIII didn't grab me, so I settled on Nocturne.

I think I made a good choice, as I am really enjoying the depth of the game. The only other SMT games I've played have been Persona 3 and 4, so having some of the demons and spells and stuff being familiar is a plus.

[pete5883]

I wasted like 20 minutes this morning using Search to figure out who suggested something to me, but I can't find the post. I was having trouble with my PS3 corrupting save files of PS2 games, and the person suggested I make a new virtual memory card instead of using one imported from a PS2 memory card, and it worked.

Since I know there's some Zone of the Enders fans here in the GGT:

...it looks like their may still be a chance for a third Zone of the Enders title. In the latest episode of the Metal Gear Solid Integral podcast, the crew at Kojima Productions talk extensively about the franchise. They know that Zone of the Enders is a popular series amongst the diehard Kojima fans, but they question "How many people really want Zone of the Enders a sequel?", putting emphasis on the casual gamers, rather than the hardcore ones. The discussion ends with Aki Saito saying "if there's so many people wanting to see Zone of the Enders, why not put the priority on top, a little further up, you know, but we just want to know.", encouraging listeners to "make sure you write your comments and we'll check your comments out".

Let your voices be heard over at Kojima's blog:

No interest in LRB for me. I'm tired of those kinds of games right now.

I'm very happy so many shmups are coming out for 360. I don't think they'll ever get ported over, but I don't mind too much considering importing a Jpn 360 is exponentially less expensive than trying to get those same games on PCB w/some kind of super gun set up.

Hello ggt. I seem to have gotten addicted to ffxi again as of late so haven't been playing anything else as of late. I bought a copy of RB2 off of my sister but seems the 20 free code was used.. Anyone have a code they didn't want because they didn't care for any of the songs? Would be very highly appreciated!

[KingBroly]

I just defeated the final boss of Killzone 2 on Elite. I now have the proper motivation to finish Campaign on Elite.

[Mr. Beef]

Does anyone in the GGT have a copy of FFIX they wouldn't mind letting go?

[mykevermin]

what's the going rate for it? i may be interested in parting with mine.

[Mr. Beef]

It's going for about $15+ on eBay.

To be perfectly honest, I just want another copy of disc 3 since it's become irreparable. I tried getting it cleaned multiple times, but now it just won't load.

[Krymner]

You can still buy FFIX new off Amazon for ~$15.

Played a bit more Dark Sector. Gonna try and have it beat soon. I'll probably just trade it in for a couple bucks of credit with I'm done with it, since I doubt I'll ever get around to replaying it.

I also put about 5 hours into SMT Nocturne. I need to do some grinding now, cause I've been just plowing thru it and so now I'm getting my butt kicked. I do really hate how you have random encounters everywhere in the game, even in towns and stuff. Otherwise, its been pretty fun.

Yea, cause Eden and Monsters were terrible. :roll:

They were horrible games, that I didn't have any fun with. So yes, I THOUGHT they were terrible. Yes, there are people with different opinions out there. I didn't think I needed to end all of my posts with "IMO."

I think it's possible for a game to be "good", yet not appeal to everyone.

I love valhalla knights, but I know most people don't enjoy it like I do... so I think liking DW Gundam rocks... as well as sonic games.

Can't wait to get my hands on the Nu Gundam. Fin funnels go!

[gunm]

Nude Gundamn? Hawt!1!

[DarkNessBear]

my only reason to not like Eden is because it's just too damn hard for me even with the easy features added...

I love valhalla knights, but I know most people don't enjoy it like I do... so I think liking DW Gundam rocks... as well as sonic games.

I will say I don't like when people are too confrontational and don't know when to back off about likes/dislikes, but again this is the internet, and cag is slowly becoming more like gamefaqs :lol:

Could not agree more... it's a shame really. It's always easier to say you dislike something on the internet versus liking something. That's why I believe people like to speak out about their dislikes more often - because it makes you feel more accepted.

Well, it's kinda absurd they'd want to charge 1200 points for that. I guess they came to their senses. Still not touching it, though.

As for me? I just got this:

Seriously...relief is not an achievement. It's an effect of trauma.

[Nelo Ice]

meh i picked it up at 800 pts been wanting to play it and its pretty fun so far but even the early levels are fucking hard
course the game didn't cost me a thing so price was no objection :lol:

edit: its 1200 points on the splash page
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/l/loderunnerxboxlivearcade/

so either ms made a mistake or they realized 1200 pts wasnt going to get any sales

So I just bought a Dreamcast from Think Geek, my other Dreamcast is in the UK and I was missing it a bit.

Whats the best cable to use for hooking it up to my TV, it only comes with a composite cable. Was there ever a Dreamcast component cable, I'm guessing not. VGA maybe ?

[dallow]

You need VGA with a true VGA box.

[benjamouth]

You need VGA with a true VGA box.

Thanks Dallow, doesn't matter now though, buyers remorse kicked in and I cancelled it.

[dallow]

:lol:

[benjamouth]

I felt bad as I would just have "acquired" a load of games off the net. I'll stick to the 360 and hopefully some of the games I want will be released on XBLA.

[tiredfornow]

Lode Runner shall be mine... when I get home from work. :oops:I felt bad as I would just have "acquired" a load of games off the net. I'll stick to the 360 and hopefully some of the games I want will be released on XBLA.Don't feel bad. Buying used games doesn't help anybody either! :)

Oooo, Amazon has 2000 points for 20 bucks and 4800 points for 50 bucks.

[benjamouth]

Don't feel bad. Buying used games doesn't help anybody either! :)


Yep, you make a good point TFN.

Started playing Silent Hill Homecoming on Hard last night, except it's not that hard after you unlock the laser gun with infinite ammo, makes the game feel a lot like a third person shooter.

[dallow]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Lemme get at that VGA box, michaelvermin. dallow_bg already has one. :)

[dallow]

Finding that sweetspot with paper, clips, etc, ugh.

[tiredfornow]

Well...

STOP BREAKING YOUR THINGS. :(

Why is the Professor Layton sequel boxart so serious?

[red flare graf]

Wow, that's heavy.

[BlueScrote]

Wow, that's heavy.


Yeah I'm not even sure I know whats going on in that picture.

What does a "B" rating in japan translate to over here? Because I can't imagine it would be the kids rating seeing as theirs, ya know, a guy about to blow his brains out in the box art.

Also, I really like how the Uncle Sam "I want YOU!" circle at the bottom of the box contrasts with the dark box-art-artstyle.

[mykevermin]

"b" = "t", roughly.

I've seen an "everybody" category (all ages, I think), A, B, "18", and the very very very rare "Z," I think.

[willardhaven]

myke, yes i do!
