Phantasy Star Portable is fun online...unless one of your party members has the demo.[/QUOTE]I really like Phantasy Star Portable, just wish it was in the PS Store so I can dtich my UMD. I'm very excited for the 2nd one on PSP.

Played a bunch of MW2 on PS3. Played Raiden IV on 360 along with inserting Left 4 Dead 2 in (have yet to play it). Played some MotorStorm: AE on my PSP Go.

I still need to open my God of War Collection.
 
Finished the Swamp campaign in L4D2 tonight - that game is SO awesome. I love the joystiq podcast, but I think they're wrong about this one.

Assassin's Creed 2 is getting really good too. Just got past the first real assassination.

Hell yea, the game looks surprisingly amazing. I just love the clean and smooth feel of the game.

Yes, AC2 is really great. And playing on the 360 with no lag makes it much more enjoyable. I've finally got caught up with my PS3 game - time to start getting more interested!

I only ever played it solo. Online just seems like a hoot though.

Fighting T-Rexus in FF8 is a daunting task at level 8/9 :shock:
 
[quote name='Krymner']I want a "real" Phantasy Star game. fuck you Sega.[/QUOTE]
You sound like me. :) Also, fuck you, Sega.

[quote name='benjamouth']I hope more collections like Raiden Fighers get released on the 360, I'm not a huge shmup fan but those games are fun.[/QUOTE]

I'd love more collections like Raiden Fighters Aces, but they don't happen too often. Shmups are all full priced in Japan, and that shit would tank here for $60. I'm sure Raiden IV didn't do too well at $40.

FF8 is a blast when you figure out what magic to grind and what abilities to buy. Squall had 9999 HP like 3.5 hours into the game. I just left him at about 1000 HP and skipped his turn until he got a limit break. Shit was so fun.

It's really fun. I played with Ad-Hoc Party earlier today, and it went fine, until someone's bad connection made the game unplayable. I had to wait until my Scape Doll res'd me before I could even quit.

And junction Sleep and Ice magic to your attack stat! Those T-Rexaurs will be done in no time.

I'll have to convince some of the gamers on campus to grab a copy so I have some incentive to play more.

Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure I'm going to drop FF8 like a bad habit. Though maybe it's just the gaming mood I'm in.

Now I'm off to watch Blazing Saddles and play some Monster Hunter before I pass out for the night.
 
So...is the older topic getting locked or not?

Beat God of War on the Collection. Pretty good game, but the cropping becomes a problem in the final section of the game. At least I went the Spike Column without taking damage to get the Trophy. It took a few tries, but I got it. And then I just had to do the 2nd one on the first go to add insult to injury.
 
Beat Borderlands last night. :whee:

I ended the game at a level 36 or so .. how do I get to 50? Anybody know any 'cheap' ways to harvest XP?
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']GoW Collection is the bees' knees![/QUOTE]

After platinuming both god of war games, i can safely say that the gameplay, story, music and graphics still hold better then 90% of whats released today. Such amazing games and such a steal at 40 bucks.

On a lighter note, just got my 5th platinum trophy, thanks Trivial Pursuit!
 
Happy Birthday Rodimus!! :D

Anyway, I just started playing my older PS3, PS2, and PSP on my new TV for my bedroom. Really love the TV and playing games on it.
 
I need to finish the MW2 campaign so I can start GoW collection.

EDIT - Oh, and that Sega racing link tried to make me watch a Dragon Ball commercial. fuck that noise.

static IPs with proper port fowarding should work.

do you just have the open nat box as DMZ?

[quote name='Mr. Anderson']Isn't there an online Phantasy Star on the DS?[/QUOTE]

Phantasy Star Zero, it just came out in the states.
 
RE2 is so much harder than I remember. I can't aim for shit. Using the d-pad made it a little better, the nub is terrible for tank controls.

Is it easier with Claire?
 
I think so. It's been years since I've even touched RE2, but I thought Claire's was a bit easier.

And Phantasy Star Zero is already out? fuck, what a terrible time to have no wifi.
 
I'm just now cracking open my November issue of Game Informer. This is my first issue in years. I really only wanted the Edge Card...

So last night in Monster Hunter I was fighting this big boar looking thing on a cliff. He rammed me off the cliff and into a different area. Either I'm easily impressed or that is one of the coolest things I've seen in a video game in a while.

Did anyone else catch that "Crazy stalker Gamestop Employee" thread? That shit was HILARIOUS! :rofl:

Get a level 50 friend to invite you to their game and let them kill stuff. You'll level super fast.

And you can get to level 50 by doing a 2nd playthrough with your character.

I'm saving my last few levels for the DLC, though.
 
They aren't raising the level cap with the Borderlands DLC, are they? I think I'll just wait to get it until they raise the level cap, then.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']dosn't Phantasy Star Portable 2 have wifi?[/QUOTE]

Yes, it does. And I'm pretty sure it's free.
 
[quote name='Rodimus']Yeah, I posted a couple of times. Pretty crazy story. Did they lock it yet?[/QUOTE]

I think it just got moved/deleted. I posted only once, I wanted to stay out of the line of fire in case it went crazy in there. But seriously, lol@crazy 30 year old stalker dude with a kid!

What's the deal with Boarderlands? I've only seen the commercials and heard lots of talk about it.

Anyone jumping on the GS b2g1 this weekend?
 
Finished the "30 Second Hero" story in Half Minute Hero, now I'm onto the "30 Second Evil Lord" story. This game is absolutely amazing.
 
[quote name='SL4IN']Finished the "30 Second Hero" story in Half Minute Hero, now I'm onto the "30 Second Evil Lord" story. This game is absolutely amazing.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I love the game too (I ended up buying the download).
 
I can't stop playing Assassin's Creed 2

I just want to collect every doodad on the map before doing story stuff. They have made the perfect perfectionist's game.
 
[quote name='Chuplayer']That's like Joan Rivers earnestly licking your scrotum, but you don't want any of it because it's nasty.[/QUOTE]

That analogy is just...OMG :whistle2:&
 
Played some AC 2, Forza 3 and MUA 2 this weekend, good times.

People in the BF thread seem to be expecting some kind of announcement from Amazon tonight, hope they don't end up disappointed.
 
Hey guys, my 360 is in the Christmas spirit! It's giving me Christmas lights! Yup, the green and red (mainly the red) really brightens up my day.

fucking bullshit Microsoft products

Ah, that sucks man...

About AC2 - game is insanely amazing, once
you get to Venice, the game is just crazy. Can't believe they reconstructed Venice that nicely. Wow
 
I played the first mission of MW2 this weekend, it seems good enough so far. I haven't decided whether I want to finish Uncharted 2 first before going farther in MW2 (
I just finished the tank part
)
 
[quote name='KingBroly']Target said the 360 was recalled so they're not honoring my warranty, which it wasn't. fuck them.[/QUOTE]

Thats bullshit, was that an extended warranty you bought from Target (I assume it was)?

That's ridiculous.

You should hit 50 sometime in the second 'area'.

Or as suggested, someone who's higher level can just power you up to 50, or close enough.
2nd playthrough is more fun though, tougher and better loot.

DLC tomorrow!
