I wish MGS4 just came out today. Now that it's so close the day is going to go by so slowly. I'll be seeing Speed Racer again so that will kill like 2 hours, but the rest of the day will seem like forever.
 
[quote name='daroga']I thought I heard like 8 minutes? It does a smaller base install, and then even smaller chunks throughout the game as you go.[/quote]

Cool, just enough time to get snacks and read my manual.
 
Went ahead and preordered Etrian Odyssey 2 yesterday... hopefully I will finish or get sick of Advance Wars by next week - definitely not as entertaining as the first game was a couple years ago before I had gotten into the multitude real strategy games that don't involve unit production.

Oh well, Blu-Ray, here I come!
 
MGS4 today babi!!! Err midnight but still! Got my LE all paid off, and got my call from GS today saying MGS4 will be available tonight at midnight!!! fuck yes!! I probably wont be on the net again until I beat the game, but I will get on to let you all know if I was able to get my LE no problem and that I got the game. Also can let you all know the install time and space if you want after it installs onto my HDD. I'm going to get there an hour early, and possible take my Psp while I stand outside to help kill the time. It's a good thing I only keep good games installed on my HDD, otherwise I'd have to buy a new one.

Played some NGII last night and got pissed off at the fucking worm boss thing. I beat him the first time no problem, but for some reason my save was corrupted so I had to restart over. Made it back to chapter 4, but for some reason that SOB would not go down easy. Don't you just shoot him with arrows towards the top of his head then after so many shots he flips over and you can hack away at him? He took me way too many tries, especially since I killed him my first time through on my second attempt. . .
 
I'm pretty sure I just beat that boss by luck, and by using ninpo whenever he threw the ghost fish at me so I could be invincible. I don't remember ever hitting him on the ground.

The water chapter was kinda frustrating, but my new favorite weapon, the sickle and ball/chain is in that one. The first two tests of valor were tough, but the 3rd and 4th I got on my first try.

Some of the bosses in NG2 are a little random, luck based it seems. Especially the really huge ones, with no real patterns. Loving the game regardless. I'm about 6 hours in and nearly done with chapter 6 I think? Whichever is the werewolves' castle.

Well the "blind" dude, sure as hell didn't seem blind when I first battled him. I got him on my second attempt though, although now I have to battle him again since my save file got corrupted. He sure seems like he can see just fine, although he really isn't that hard. I had just beat Alexia or however his name is spelled and loved that battle on my first save file. Dude posed a good challenge for me with his speed and lighting shooting. It's pretty sad though but so far the boss battle that was the toughest for me was that electric worm. :lol: Hopefully that changes since I have to battle the "blind" dude and Alexia again.
 
[quote name='Chibi_Kaji']I have been debating on getting Warhawk since i picked up my PS3 last week. But I think I'll wait until after I finish MGS4.

Also, I'm in love with Metal Gear Saga from the MGS4 OST. I know it's just a remix of another MGS song but I still love it.[/QUOTE]
I really like Warhawk personally and we have an awesome CAG community playing the game 2-3 times a week (along with the GGL Tournament stuff). We are a pretty close group too. But, the game is not for everyone.

Anyway, I needed to get Wii points, yet I bought XBL Marketplace points today since they were $15 at CC. I might use them some time, so I felt it was best to just get them on sale. I might wait for Soul Calibur, might get Triggerheart, and/or DLC for games.
 
Stupid question for everyone , but is there really any content on the xbox live marketplace that's worth downloading that ISN'T game related , or more precisely picture packs and wallpaper that are worth downloading?

I've generally avoided that content cause I always felt it was a waste of MS Points but for some reason I've had the urge to buy some of them.
 
[quote name='MarkMan']So what shall we discuss today GGT?

We've talked about Metal Gears, Soul Calibur IVs, upcoming RPGs, what next?

How about snacks? What snacks/food do you plan on eating while immersing yourself into MGS4 this weekend?

I need some goodz.[/QUOTE]snack THIS:

Only non game thing I've bought on XBL is the Fatal Fury picture pack, and that was only for Chibi Terry Bogard!

Hey thats something , any input is better than no input. Personally some of the ones I was looking at included the Penny Arcade Picture Packs and the Symphony of the Night Wallpapers.
 
I bought one of the Symphony of the night theme packs or whatever, but thats just because I fucking love ayami Kojima.
 
[quote name='wubb']I don't snack while I game. It's serious bidness.[/QUOTE]
Same here... or I try not to, rather. I'd rather not get crumbs and such on my controller, DS, etc.

Also, I won't be playing MGS4 this weekend. I don't know what I'll be playing...
 
[quote name='daroga']I want to see it again too, but I think it's gone from theaters around here already.

It's at the cheap theater here ($2) so yeah, I have no reason not to see it again!

Too bad it didn't do very well apparently, I'd love for them to make a sequel.

The only one I bought is the Classic Sonic pack to get a good Sonic gamerpic that I've stuck with since the beginning (though I think I've got the NG2 contest one on there now--do we need to have that on to enter that contest or just have downloaded it and paly during the 13-15?).

I was shocked, actually, at how much I liked it. I bought a die cast metal Mach 5 at Walmart that evening in scale with my KITT and KARR from Knight Rider and my BttF2 DeLorean. They need to release Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters in 1:18 scale. :p

only theme I've seen that was worth it to pay was a castlevenia theme since the guides looked real nice.

besides that... no.


oh and yes please!

I was surprised too. I knew I'd like it just because it's Speed Racer, but it really was a fun movie to watch. I was worried that they would leave off at a bad spot and end the movie since it was feeling a little long I was worried they weren't going to show the
Grand Prix
. I'm not sure if I liked the fighting or the racing more though, they were both so awesome :p

I rarely buy movies, but when this is out on blu-ray I'm buying it for sure.

And
I was tempted to spend a lot of money on the Speed Racer toys :lol:
 
[quote name='darthbudge']I think that buying Picture Packs or Wallpapers is just plain dumb. But that is probably just me.[/QUOTE]

That's pretty much what I thought. Hence why I've never bought any myself. I just wondered whether maybe there were some really nice ones that someone found that might be worth getting that would actually justify the cost , but basically not.

[/quote]Yeah, I really thought
they were just going to set themselves up for a sequel (or run of them) at the end there. I'm glad they had the grand prix and finished up the story.
My two favorite movies this summer thus far have been flicks that I just kinda went to see with no expectations. Both Iron Man and even more so Speed Racer have impressed me greatly.

We need new F-zero. I should play some Burnout tonight.
 
heads up guys who have EB MGS4 pre-orders...

seems if you want to be first in line go to your store and be there at 10pm to get your numbered receipt for paying for the game in full. Then at midnight you'll be at the front of the line. I asked if they were giving out the receipts earlier but they said they won't until after 10pm.
 
The stars are aligning...

I go to Commerce Bank and bring all my spare change and they give me back $89.82. Thats is exactly $2.50 away from purchasing my preordered MGS4 LE after tax.

Must resist......................
 
Man, tax is motherfuckin' ridiculous now. It was like 7.25% a couple months ago, and now it's 8.25%. fuck that, and fuck the government. They suck at what they do anyway.

your tax JUST increased to 8.25%? Man, it's been 8.25% here in texas since like forever.

[quote name='MarkMan']What's your closest gas prices? $4.49 for 87 unleaded here.

NES btw.[/QUOTE]

It's like... $4.19-$4.29 for regular.

San Diego prices are scary.
 
I haven't checked gas prices here today. Last night it was $3.99. I'm guessing it's like $4.04 today XD

Not to get all political here, but looking at gas prices for the past couple of weeks, the craziness I've seen makes me thinks people are fixing those prices (And I think those people are the holders of the oil fields).
 
I'm so tempted to crack open SingStar now. :p

I assume the numbered receipt format for MGS pre-orders is on a store-by-store basis?

At least, it was a free-for-all at the GTAIV launch, and I'm guessing there will be less people for MGS since it's PS3 only this time around...
