Ahhh, Fable 2's ending is totally bogus man! My game saved after I passed it, so is there any way to get the other two endings without having to redo the whole game?

Reaver's a bitch.

Don't know if you still need help with this or not. I missed this post from before. I had some trouble getting this achievement too and got it the other day. Best way to do it is go to stage 2 and let your ship get captured. Then wait for it to come down after you and kamikaze yourself into your captured fighter. Takes a bit of timing , but seems to work easier than trying to shoot it down.Hey, thanks a lot, I'll try this tonight.

It's still crazy how I can't shoot it when I know I can in the arcade.

Why not No More Heroes?


I don't know much about it.

I bought it on XBLA and am extremely surprised at how I can never find a game online with it.
I thought Peggle was super popular.

DS version is the XBLA version + Peggle Nights + DS only levels.
It's a much version but I like to have something relaxing to play on the TV as well.


I think I'm gonna get it. At first when I was playing the demo I was pressing buttons thinking "this is stupid .. all you can do is shoot the ball and watch it drop?" and then I slowly got addicted.

You'll like it Mak.

Also, more on the Sacred 2 front:
Play "we give everything a 10" magazine gave it a 7 says Too Human is better...

Hardcore RPG fans looking to hone their epic adventuring skills before Bioware’s Dragon Age: Origins arrives, may want to give Sacred 2: Fallen Angel a spin. The under-the-radar release—a port of 2008’s modest PC hit—lacks the polish, production values, and accessibility of a built-for-consoles role playing romp such as Fable II or even Too Human, but it still manages to scratch that looting and leveling itch fans of the genre crave.

Yeah... I think I'll pass sadly for now. It just sounds unpolished/low budget as fuck.
And after playing the demo for Kingdom Under Fire for some looting action and having it leave that awful taste in my mouth, I realize they can't all be as polished as Baldur's Gate.

And yes Zew, I know you <3 that game.

nah, but really, the PC demo stunk out loud. I hear the performance issues have been cleaned up, but there were some more fundamental problems with it too--menus were awful to navigate for one. Can't remember what else, but my 30 minutes or so with it left a bad taste.

I think it's very worth it. It's a pretty unique game-- a fighting game shmup....literally. The controls are a bit awkward to get used to, since each ship controls differently. It's a fun one to have on your shelf for the occasional playthrough, but there is no online community.

I've got too many other things to play ATM (aka Patapon 2... buy it damn it) but once I'm done with most of my stuff I'll jump on it.'

To stay on topic , I just sent back :ps2:Quantum of Solace to gamefly. Game was a decent Gears of War lite clone , but some of the boss battles were really frustrating , and the game was pretty short.

Also just started Ninety Nine Nights. It's ok , but I'm probably just going to play a mission or 2 each day so that the tedium doesn't get to me.

Another question:

Worth trying if:

1.You can set up a room/play area to make proper use of it (since for the game to work effectively it essentially requires a green screen type setup).

2.You can get a group of people to play with you , since its more fun as a party type game.

If you can do one or both of these , then give it a go , if not then I'd say dump it.

I was in elementary school in the mid/late 90s. EVERYONE at my school was into Pokemon.

The last one I played was Ruby...kind of interested in this Gold/Silver remake honestly.

For me the pokemon craze hit during middle school/early high school. I loved the original game but for some reason could never get into Gold/Silver/Crystal.

I've really wanted to get back into pokemon since Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald , but can never get enough interest together to keep playing the games. I'm kinda hoping that Diamond/Pearl/Platinum will do that , since everyone has been saying its the best game since some of the older ones.

They did a good job of changing the metagame during each generation.

Gold/Silver/Crystal: Special Attack/Defense are two different stats.
Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald: Pokemon get "abilities."
Pearl/Diamond/Plat: Physical/Special moves are more defined (Thunderpunch is now a physical move instead of a special move, for example).

Funny thing a couple games later and I ended up accidentally shooting it, haha, I couldn't believe it.

I also remembered the other way to shoot it.
Kill the enemy holding the ship while he's "parked" at the top. You won't get your ship back, and instead it will fly at you and shoot.
You can kill it then, or if you miss it, it'll come back next level and fire again.

But that would be kinda silly , since they just remade Red/Blue.

I read a few people mention that about shooting at the ship when its still at the top of the stage , and every time I tried that I always ended up getting the dual fighter. I guess it was getting ready to dive at me each time I shot it.

I'd like to think he was happy. His name was Cuddles (yeah, I know) but it really sucked because he was fine this morning and I came home from the gym and my mom was-teary eyed delivering the news. I actually fell to the floor I was so devastated.
I also feel bad for our other cat (Chip) because he was sitting next to his body for a long time......


But enough sadness. My desktop is a picture of Cuddles and I so I guess I should be celebrating his life and all....

I'm just trying to keep my mind off him for a bit.

If you don't plan on gaming on it (i.e. dual-booting windows for games because there aren't many on mac) or using artist programs, you might want to consider downgrading to the entry level macbook. They all basically run perfectly with few hitches, unless you plan to run tons of resource intensive graphic design/video editing/music making programs. Actually, definitely downgrade if you aren't doing the above things, unless you like burning hundreds of dollars.

I never got into pokemon until early college :lol:

only reason why was because I worked at an alarm company and we had time to kill during work hours with portable gaming... so my friend said that if I got pokemon he would and we would trade shit and play together. made work really fun. i did get addicted though... at the same time playing it (GBA Ruby) that time was enough pokemon for me... don't think I'll ever go back to it.

weird now that I think about it... I got hooked on CAG because of that job. Friend, who also posts here on CAG, showed it to me.

Thanks guys,

I'd like to think he was happy. His name was Cuddles (yeah, I know) but it really sucked because he was fine this morning and I came home from the gym and my mom was-teary eyed delivering the news. I actually fell to the floor I was so devastated.
I also feel bad for our other cat (Chip) because he was sitting next to his body for a long time......


But enough sadness. My desktop is a picture of Cuddles and I so I guess I should be celebrating his life and all....

I'm just trying to keep my mind off him for a bit.
Here's a picture of him from a few years ago http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f188/Azumangaman/62c2be69.jpg
He's just waking up for that extra cuteness.

That's sadness. I remember when my duck died. Losing a pet is always sadness.

The only advice I would add on top of that would be go to with one of the Aluminum unibody Macbooks and not the lowest white one. If you're going to be using it for four years, the white ones have a plastic body that loves to crack over time. With the aluminum Macbook, you'll be getting better durability and still a better price than the MBP.

Okay let me just say im playing through silent hill homecoming (9.99 best buy game ftw) and beside one puzzle which almost ruined the game for me (attic puzzle) this game is on par or a little less than silent hill 1. I don't know why it got bad reviews.

05-12-2009, 12:32 PM
Yeah, I wasn't a fan of that attic puzzle either, but I was otherwise happy with the game. The melee combat works for me, but the guns not so much. They break the boss fights (especially the last one) a bit too much for my liking.

I could see a perfectly good phat ds go for 50-60 shipped and that a good deal for both seller and buyer. A ds lite could go for 70-90 shipped and once again good for both seller and buyer.

Infamous IGN review:

In December, I played Infamous for the first time and told you that it was awesome. Five months later, I'm standing by that statement and backing it up with about 30 hours of playtime. Cole's powers are cool, the graphic novel cutscenes are stunning, the story is intriguing, and the city is alive. I could go on and on about this game -- about my hunt for the final few Blast Shards, about the sick joy in blasting a pedestrian and then sucking his bio-energy, about the subtle Sly Cooper references -- but to truly appreciate what Sucker Punch has created, you'll have to sit down and play this game.

Infamous is amazing.

GTA4 took 20 or so without really doing side missions and skipping all the friendship dates and the like. I could see 30ish for a sandbox game where you intend to do everything -- but not for the main story.

Yeah, I'm sure the 'Blast Shard' things are optional collectibles, like power orbs in Crackdown.

My guess is inFAMOUS' story length leans more towards Crackdown length than GTA4 length.

So to play the story once, it would probably only be 12-15 hours.

All the side missions and he might've just puttering around. I'm doing that with Just Cause right now. I'm at the last mission but I'm getting the last few races, side missions and achievements done so I can just put it away when it's all over.

Don't forget the fun factor for some sandbox games. I've noticed that I've played 20 mins and not done a damn thing the whole time. By the time, I get to a mission or race, it's been 25-30 mins. I was having a blast but not really advancing the story line.

Beat Klonoa. Good game, especially for $30. A surprising amount of effort put into it, too. Most Wii games don't have this much effort put into it (and I'm not kidding). Although the last couple of levels ticked me off a bit.

1. You fail at being a smart ass. 2. Wrong. In RE4 you have a case where you can store things and you can buy larger cases to store more things. In RE5 you always have 9 blocks and everything only takes up one block. I think I've seen a screenshot of STALKER and I think it might have an inventory like RE4.

Since I'm back for the summer and haven't been around in a while can someone explain what a lowball sale is?

Basically it works just like an ebay auction. You put up a bunch of items , usually with no preset price , and everybody bids on them in predetermined increments (usually about .50 cents or $1). You let it run for a specific amount of time (however much you want 3 days , a week , whatever) , and when its over whoever has the highest bid wins the item and pays the amount they bid plus shipping (usually a preset amount as well).

That's the basic idea at least. Plenty of people have done them (myself included) , and you can always ask dv8mad , who's the most informed about it.

Pre-order a game. Don't like it? Forget to pick it up. Go in a few days later or so and move your pre-order to the next game you're interested in. You always keep the pre-order bonus, but you can't get your $5 back, only move it to a new pre-order. Make sense?

I really hope the next DLC plans for Fable II has more replay value than STF. KI has a tiny bit more replay value since it has a town you can interact in while STF has...a battle arena which I have everything from, achievements included. I'd honestly want a $10 million house.

I liked Climax's work on LandStalker, but they haven't really done anything even matching that effort. I was a little excited about Steel Princess when I first heard of it, but I don't think I'm going to like the linear, "one solution only"/"trial-and-error" puzzle-play of that game.

Yeah, it is basically equivalent. this:

OT, but if you're used to the MS Office environment, then iWork won't cut it. There's no excel equivalent built-in. I dunno, I don't like it personally.



is not entirely true. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote all have export/import functions with MS Office files. Numbers is the Excel equivalent that gunm missed, unless there's some incompatibility I missed out on. I used Pages and Keynote for my last semester in undergrad and never ran into a problem sharing/exchanging with Windows people.

if you're taking notes with it, you'll get used to all the hotkeys and shortcuts with Pages fast. Keynote is very intuitive and has great templates and design options. I haven't had a whole lot of experience with numbers. Can't really compare it to MS Office on a detailed level, as they both worked fine for me. It was easy to slip into iWork, since they are similar in organization. There were less differences than I imagined...

my pokemans? (i'm so sorry)

in all seriousness, is there any difference between the DS pokemon games and the GBA games other than graphics? I'm just curious if i'm missing anything.

The dual screens are a big plus, the interface is much nicer. There is a lot of added functionality as well. If you are going to start on one get the DS version...

It's for Wii, so that fails right there (referring to MH3 too, FWIW). I gotta stop buying Wii games, seriously. Klonoa is like the only "real" game I've played on there for like the longest time. I don't even play the "good" Wii games 'cause 360, PS3, PSP, and DS keep me pretty occupied. :P

dear ggt, I started Lost Odyssey again after finishing the first disc around launch, got bored again, picked up Vesperia and despite the animu, love it. I read Lost Odyssey's spoilers and it sounds like they completely throw away all potential the story has. Just one of those simple 1000 Years of Dreams vignettes has more interesting ideas than the game has presented so far, aside from the fact that there are immortals with amnesia. It's an interesting story concept to start with, but it sounds squandered in typical RPG fare. And with the gameplay as sparse and rudimentary as it is, the story was my only hope...

I just wish they found a way to make the 1000 years stories into gameplay. On the other hand, bad game voice acting might kill the emotional connection, as usual.

Vesperia scratches my itch for instant gratification and fast battles.
