There was nothing worthwhile at that best buy sale.

Been playing stalker and it's awesome. My SF4 skills have atrophied.. or people have just gotten much better recently.

[FriskyTanuki]

360? also damn when i went on friday i picked up one of the 2 copies of sciv and they were the launch copies that still had do not open before 7/29/08 :lol:
also why is sciv 360 not on the cag database? just tried to add it and it only showed the ps3 version

Wow you hate Lady Gaga that much? At least I hope you do because if you like Too Human there's no hope for you.

I've been about to change my avatar and sig multiple times, but every time I do someone makes some ignorant comment about it. Which makes me want to keep them.

Geez, take a chill pill, brah. :bouncy:

[RelentlessRolento]

how much is Valkyrie Chrn going for now on ebay? I stopped into my local GS today just to see what was left of the sale and saw they still had a copy >_<

I didn't realize how dumb my local gaming community was until I saw that.

[ninja dog]

The two Best Buys near me were stocked with every game, QoS, Too Human, Pure, SCIV, Silent Hill, and the other hot shit from the sale as of 3pm central. Pretty sweet.

I've been going through Valkyria Chronicles - it was a coincidence that I happened to get it from GameFly when the game seems to be creeping back into peoples' mind share again.

Pretty challenging but rewarding so far. It's too bad they didn't release this game in March or April so it might have had a chance to sell much better.

[mykevermin]

Quantum of Solace was $10? Fuck me.

Wish someone would sell me a PS3 copy for $15.

[RudyPants]

They had literally dozens of copies of this game (the LE and the regular version, which some were getting for $10 also) at my BB.

There were a lot of people walking out with 007 T-shirts.

[mykevermin]

I don't have a BB near me, dude.

Ended up getting Jericho just cuz.

I really enjoyed too human when I played it. I had a 40s ranger (IIRC), a 20s defender and a lower level BIO.

The game lacked some polish, but I still don't understand why it got all the flack it did.

Your more than welcome to add me if you want, I'd love to play through Too Human again with a reliable partner

Picked up Singstar ABBA and GTA Chinatown at BB. Awesome prices for both, especially Singstar ABBA. I've signed that game out from work so many times. My friends and I love ABBA.

[benjamouth]

Pretty good day, price adjusted the 9 games I'd bought at BB pre-sale, pick of the bunch was QoS and C&C:Red Alert. Picked up a the rest cos I thought they might be worth a go at $10, IU, Hellboy, Quake etc.

Then watched Blackburn beat Wigan 2-0 and played a load of Saints Row 2 co-op with a mate, that game is so much fun.

The Newgrounds game on which that will be based that Strell pointed me to is absolutely fucking awesome. And fuck-you hard. Especially the second Hell level on the "expect chapter". I've got every level beaten, but only have a few bandaids.

Your image didn't work. Super Meat Boy didn't impress me at all, but then again I had to play on a keyboard.

Also from Geoff Keighley - Six Days in Fallujah has been canceled.

Hi Ben - watched Soultaker and Girl in Gold Boots over the weekend.

Hi Ben - watched Soultaker and Girl in Gold Boots over the weekend.

I think Girl in Gold Boots may be my favorite episode, or perhaps my favorite Mike episode. I watched Codename Diamond Head which was ok, nothing special, lots of references to Ian McShane (He was the bad guy in it)
being Lovejoy, I've seen better eps.

[Maklershed]

Ian McShane aka Al Swearengen?

I need to start dl episodes or something. I've run through all my volumes. :(

[js1]

As per Geoff Keighley: "Expect some big updates on Uncharted 2 (and MAG) today."

I don't care about MAG but :whee: to Uncharted 2

Hellz yeah! Uncharted is one of those games I WANT to know more about, but at the same time I don't want to know because I want to keep that certain element of surprise about the game.

I think that's what happened to me with Metal Gear Solid 4, I knew too much going into it and I think in the end it was less enjoyable because of it.

[js1]

Over the weekend I finished Resistance 2's single player part of the game. I am not sure how I feel about the last part of the game... I guess I hoping it was going to end better than that..

I'm not sure what single player game to play next? I guess I could finally try to finish fallout 3, I just got to the first save point in Dead Space, I have not opened Valkria Chronicles, I can start Bioshock, or attempt to finish LBP single player portion. Any advice?

[corrosivefrost]

LBP took me forever. I kept doing a section, then putting it down for something else.
Finish Fallout 3 then play Dead Space.

[KingBroly]

So I fired up DMC4 on 360 (note: I bought and still have the PS3 version from last year) and I must note that sound quality on the 360 version is quite atrocious. I have to turn my TV up to around 30 to hear it. Also, I don't remember if this was the case on the PS3 version or not, but during cut-scenes, there are small bars and the top/bottom of the screen.

js1, go for Valkyria Chronicles. You will not be disappointed.

[RudyPants]

I'd wait to finish Fallout until Broken Steel comes out. Then you don't have to be constrained by the level cap.

[darthbudge]

Also from Geoff Keighley - Six Days in Fallujah has been canceled.

(not that anyone cares)

:/

I was kind of looking forward to seeing how that game would turn out.

[willardhaven]

I actually picked up IU at the sale, it's a little rough around the edges but it seems ok. As a kid I always loved Secret of Mana, Evermore, Illusion of Gaia and other action RPGs, so I tend to be forgiving of games like IU.

My procrastination of the BB sale is probably gonna have me lose out on IU and SCIV

lol I was at some friends' apartment last night. They had a 52" samsung plasma (or lcd, i forget) with a PS3....hooked up with composite cables. :( I asked what res they were running...he's like "oh all PS3 games put out 720p." I just didn't have the heart to get into it. I had to call a rape crisis center for my eyes this morning.

[dallow]

I had no idea it was 3 player co-op. :drool:

I read it takes a few cues from L4D, in that you have to keep moving (or bad stuff keeps coming), and you have to really work together.

360 degree maps, boss fights, and more......

Isn't Prototype another of those bullshit 'Pre-Order the game to get the demo' deals?

[The Crotch]

Your image didn't work. Super Meat Boy didn't impress me at all, but then again I had to play on a keyboard.God dammit...

http://gonintendo.com/wp-content/photos/meat_cuts.jpg

Anyway, the controls definitely take some getting used to. Meat Boy can move very rapidly with only a light touch, but has very high traction, so he stops dead if you just let go of the controls while on land. You also have to be very careful to press jump before pressing away when wall jumping.

I beat the whole game on keyboard, anyway. And with a fucked up spacebar.

Do they do those kind of pre-order deals for multiplat games? I haven't seen that yet.

[tiredfornow]

Make sure you ask them first, munchph. That would be a shame if Baby Luc got a call from his daddy in prison for swiping some beta codes.

[FriskyTanuki]

Red Faction Guerrilla did that recently, though I'm not sure if Prototype is doing it, too.

Edit: Looking at Gamestop, Fight Night Round 4 is doing the preorder for the demo thing while Prototype is not.

[tiredfornow]

I actually haven't heard anything about Prototype in a long time other than release date.

[dallow]

Hmm, didn't know Red Faction did it.
I guess I played the 'late' demo.

It sucked anyway.

EDIT:UFC too?
So were these demos available along time ago and finally released last week or something for everyone?

[corrosivefrost]

TFN, if you have a ton, send one this way. :]

[DarkNessBear]

inFamous looks really nice - look forward to trying Uncharted 2's multiplayer although I am a little hesitant since this sort of thing has happened before; shoehorning multiplayer in single player games. We will see...

[dallow]

Watch the trailer.

[FriskyTanuki]

You could get a code for the demo a week or so before it went public from THQ's UK site.

[BlueScrote]

I got my GF to play LBP with me last night. I think its the first game that she's played with me that she's enjoyed more than I have.

But then again, its a simple concept, cutesy, has dress up, and her sackgirl can slap me around.

Every shooter tries something different, and to change the pace of the game - but it all ends up with: RUN IN > SHOOT > DIE > RUN IN!!! Maybe one game will have it so you use a knife once in a while instead but it is all the same. . .

MGO, Resistance, Killzone 2, Gears of War, Halo, CoD, Socom, Battlefield ect. ect.

Yea I agree. I'm just tired of seeing these games putting a "different spin" on multiplayer but they usually result into the same thing you've seen a hundred times.

The only recent multiplayer shooter I've played regularly is Call of Duty 4. It's so fun I don't care that it's unfair (spawn>die-in-explosion>spawn>grenaded etc.) sometimes. Games that are great transcend lack of balance. I remember the original Counterstrike had tons of cheaters, but I still enjoyed it.

Lately, the spawning shit has pissed me off in CoD4. I love *spawn* -> knife in throat -> *spawn* -> grenade -> *spawn* -> headshot... WTF.

I might be out of my gourd, but I think Gears 2/KZ2 seem to have better spawning -- maybe due to the "team base" kind of mentality.

I have never tried Gears of War, mostly because I hate the way it looks. Also because I don't think 3rd person works as well as 1st for online shooters. One day maybe I'll give it a go. As for Killzone, I thought the first game was good but I don't have a PS3.

[Maklershed]

If you don't like Gears of War you won't like Killzone. It's basically Gears of War only its "heavier" (control wise) and has Helghast instead of Locust.

so "playing around with DMK's TE stick" was code for something else then. gotcha.

I've never been happier to see a demo for a game that doesn't need a demo.

[RelentlessRolento]

wow... reading the Patapon 2 review makes me happy.

the first was so fucking great, and the second seems to remove almost all the issues I had with it.

[Maklershed]

Oh yeah about that .. is it completely digital download only or is it a mix of dl/umd?

[FriskyTanuki]

You either buy it on PSN or buy the download voucher in stores.

[RelentlessRolento]

Oh yeah about that .. is it completely digital download only or is it a mix of dl/umd?


it's download only, but you can buy the voucher which has a case, and manual.

man... fuck worrying about it being digital. it's a full game that's very good for an already steal of a price.

if ur a freak about resell value, then that's a different story.

I probably don't care because I know I'll keep it permanently like I do witht he first.

[mykevermin]

I don't care what format it comes in, $30-40 PSP titles can fuck right off. Patapon and its sequel are the right price. Not that I'll buy it, but I can't remember the last PSP game I bought - meaning it was at least 9-12 months ago.

I suppose FFVII International counts, though. Thanks for nothing, SCEA!

[corrosivefrost]

What? You been drinking again?

(A) He said he didn't play gears because he didn't like the visual style.
(B) How is KZ2 = GoW2? You don't even use the stupid cover mechanic in the multiplayer. There's no shotgun rolling, there's no lancer, it's first person; not third, etc.

[FriskyTanuki]

So why not support price points you like?

I'm just genna shut up from now on :lol:

I should learn from MM.

[Maklershed]

C'mon Frosty - you're telling me there weren't times in the campaign where you were wondering if you were playing Gears? The third person view, the clunky/heavy feeling, the cover, the controls, the exact same shitty story, a squad of four that is always split in half, etc What more does it take to identify two games as similar?

And rolento - I assume you were saying "you" to people as a whole, but I wasn't "worrying" about Patapon 2 being dl or umd. I'm probably not even gonna buy it since I haven't opened the first one yet. I'm just trying to stay on top of things. :lol:

[nyprimus4]

Sold the R4DS for $30. Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts for $12.58. Stranglehold, Tomb Raider Legend, Prey, Splinter Cell DA, The Darkness, and Tony Hawk's Project 8 for $36. And last week I sold my Hori EX2 for $84.

$162.58 for those counting. Pretty good for some spring cleanup.

Still have more to sell too, easier to throw stuff on eBay even with all the fees just in terms of convenience.

[RelentlessRolento]

the only time I felt like it was like gears was the locations (ie. train mainly, but that was it really).

The two games feel entirely different. I know for sure Gears is more twitchy, and KZ is more weighty. I'll take weight over twitch, but both are very good different games.

[distgfx]

You sold a Hori EX2 for $84? Was it modded? If not, then god damn I feel sorry for whoever bought it.

[willardhaven]

I suppose FFVII International counts, though. Thanks for nothing, SCEA!

You can read Japanese? I thought the International subtitle was a misnomer.

[nyprimus4]

Nope, not modded. Sold it on eBay.

R4DS is the only non-eBay sale.

[mykevermin]

I would've waited myke for FFVII... sadly, just wait.

Wait? We haven't had a single PSOne title in the US this year. Fuck SCEA; SCEJ works hard for my money, so they get it. 250+ PSOne games in Japan, 50+ in the EU, and 24 in the US.

They.

Can.

Kiss.

My.

Honky.

Ass.

You can read Japanese? I thought the International subtitle was a misnomer.

Misnomer? Nah. Square added content when it came from Japan to the US (the ultima weapon super boss types come to mind) - so Square gleefully cashed in w/ a Japanese rerelease featuring the US content and a fourth disc which is a FFVII encyclopedia. They did that w/ other FF games afterward, and they got progressively cooler stuff. FFXII International got a whole new job system (the zodiac?) which was different from the grid-based upgrades in the original and US versions of the game - as well as new jobs, I think. They even got an upgraded Kingdom Hearts in this way (Final Mix+, I think it was called).

I'm not completely literate for this title, as I haven't kept up with my studies. But after awhile, some characters stand out. I'm following the game well enough (only ever played it through once before, to be honest). About 5+ hours in, fighting to the top of the Shinra building - just encountered Red XIII last I checked.

About the only fucking thing my PSP is good for right now.

[willardhaven]

I'm confused Myke, I thought the "International Edition" was in Japanese only (hence my calling it a misnomer).

I don't blame you for thinking that way, which is totally valid... I'm just saying.. i'll shut up.

[mykevermin]

I'm confused Myke, I thought the "International Edition" was in Japanese only (hence my calling it a misnomer).

Why does "International" = "English"?

The game was released in many other countries and many other languages. Why couldn't it be in Portuguese?

ReRo, you're a hella nice dude, so I'm not thrilled to have to say this.

Your kindness is inversely proportionate to your ability to predict a fucking thing.

EDIT: And let's shit in a pot and call it dinner and say you're right for a change. Two dozen titles and FFVII. You know what I say to that? Not good enough. SCEJ has set the bar. You might be able to pare it down to 200+ titles instead of 250+ if you take out dating sims/ancient japanese strategy games/ancient japanese dating sims. But one FFVII =/= FFVII, Xenogears, RE1-3, Brave Fencer Musashi, Front Mission 1-3 (or was it 0-3?), and probably 40 or so *amazing* PSOne titles. Sony better send out vouchers for a free ass-kissin' session if they want to gain back any goodwill they flushed down the drain the way they've been sitting on a goldmine of $6 titles and not done a fuckin' thing with 'em.

I was implying that International = multiple languages, English being the relevant language. If it's not in English, can you read Japanese or are you just a masochist?

[mykevermin]

Little bit of both, more of the former.

It looks promising - but so did MGO, Resistance 2 and TF2. But, I did not really get hooked to any of those. So, I'm keeping my expectations low - but my SP expectations high. Can't wait.

[whoknows]

So I started Jericho that I got from Best Buy...

...it's not bad. It's not great, but it's not bad.

It's pretty much the definition of average.

I liked it, but it didn't hook me as much as I wanted it to. And no matter how hard I tried I always sucked at it. Also, I was hoping for a more "team" oriented experience, but in games without a clan it was just a cluster f-ck.

[gunm]

And everything else?


The only thing I didn't really care for was the ending(s).

[depascal22]

Watch Lawrence Of Arabia (OMG 4 HOURS LONG)

But it's four hours of awesome! Well 3 hours 47 mins of awesome but you can you skip through ten of those minutes because of the music at the beginning, end, and intermission so it's really more of 3 and a half hours.

[Krymner]

Finished Dark Sector. Really fun game for the price. I got alot more than I expected. I put a little more time into Nocturne. I am beginning to forsee that it will probably take me a few months to get thru this RPG, since it is kinda slow-paced and seems to require some grinding. Gonna try this week to put more time into GTAIV and get closer to beating it. I assume I'm about 4/5ths thru it so far so there's not much left, not counting all the side-mission stuff (many of which I've been doing as I go along anyway, so alot of those are near complete too.) I've just realized that I'm not really that excited about any game announced to come out this year (with the exception of Starcraft 2, but knowing Blizzard, it probably won't make it out this year anyway).

[pete5883]

Sooo, whens Halo 5 coming out??
Halo five's been out since 1992.

[FriskyTanuki]

New Tekken and Soulcalibur for PSP? Nice, though I didn't bother picking up the other Tekken game that's been out for a while now.

[RelentlessRolento]

Namco is making me too happy.... >_<

even their noby noby boy update today blew me away... so fucking good.

the PSP screens for both Tekken and SC look superb.

[FriskyTanuki]

I think I'll pass on SC since it looks like a barebones version of SCIV with just arcade, versus, survival, and an enhanced tutorial mode. I'd rather have a deep single-player mode for a PSP fighter than have it be focused on MP for replay value. Depending on what Tekken 6 features, I may finally get a copy of Dark Ressurection instead of picking up the new games.

[jer7583]

T6 and SC4 for PSP sound good but I'll probably play them for 5 min and get bored, like any other portable fighter. What fun is a fighter on a system where any competition involves finding someone else who has the same system and the same game who wants to play with awful controls against you?

Portable fighters are kinda pointless.. you have to admit. 99% CPU play.

[ninja dog]

i don't look for much more than a fun diversion on portable systems....Tekken DR, SFA3, and Guilty Gear are games I keep coming back to for a quick fun diversion. Wouldn't mind adding more dependable games to my PSP library.

[tiredfornow]

I don't mind playing SFA3 Arcade mode, or Tournament mode over and over again. That game rawks.

[jer7583]

I'm excited for SF4 PC.. it doesn't take much to get me to buy that game again..

New shaders and enhanced graphics.. easy as that.

[RelentlessRolento]

SFA3 usually gets Dramatic or Reversre Dramatic lay by me... always fun

[mykevermin]

I like the sleep option on PSP so I can pick up and play whenever. Good for classic PSOne RPGs that I can't buy in the US because they're not released here.

And my favorite series on DS is Ace Attorney by a long, long shot. And Professor Layton is awesome as well. I suppose the latter is a longer series of "short diversions," but I can't say the same for AA.

[tiredfornow]

I even played the shit out of the GBA version up until I got my DSi. :lol:

TetrisDS is the reason to own a DS. Shit is so dang fun.

[gunm]

T5 for PSP is fun. Been playing it off and on lately.

[Rei no Otaku]

T5 for PSP was great.

Finally finished GTA4. Taking a break from it, and then I'll start The Lost and the Damned.

[seanr1221]

Gundam 2 is turrrible.
