I beat Triggerheart twice! I'll be looking to do it a lot more later on.
Had lots of fun.
Jest, Imma add you on PSN. We should Buzz sometime :)

what a troll...wii is sellinga lot and its crap
 
NPD numbers for this holiday are already in? Either I'm in a time warp, or the NPD has a crystal ball made of fail.
 
Nah, I think that's pretty accurate :lol:

Hello, GGT. Apparently, I had an alert set up with Play-Asia to let me know when Vib-Ribbon (the Japanese release) was in stock. I had completely forgotten that I'd signed up for that... it's not a total must-have for me right now either.

Day was busy, etc., but now I'm caught up on all my gaming podcasts. This week's Retronauts was all right.
 
With no price drop for the PS3, I dont think theres any reason to expect a change in the current trends. This current economy is going to be especially difficult on the more expensive items.
 
Yeah, my 512 MB 360 memory card shipped, baby! Do retail 512's come with any free XBLA games? Because that would be icing on the cake. :drool:

Sales numbers don't reflect on quality. Look at the most popular music and movies. They are usually trash. The PS3 will definitely be better than Gamecube in the long run. I loved my GC, but those last few years were painful. At least RE4 was so bad ass that I played through it a few times and loved it. It almost made up for the slow death of the GC. Almost. . .

What proof do you have, how can you count something that isn't there?

Underscores can be counted.

[quote name='jer7583']I'm almost completely over Little Big Planet. I have decided I'd rather buy a game that is well designed and thought out by professionals than one that thrives on what the average videogame player can come up with. [/QUOTE]
Is this a joke? Haven't your last 10 posts been about how much you don't like LBP? Or am I thinking of someone else?
 
The gamecube 2 gag works a lot better in Japan:

Take last week's console sales for instance:
DSL 31,914
PSP 23,901
Wii 22,877
360 7,763
PS2 6,982
PS3 5,734

Gamecube 2 is getting beat by Gamecube X2 olol
 
360 has been on top of PS3 for the last 5 weeks now, due to massive RPG releases and a price cut. Bizarro world indeed

I'm about to update the blog with a more detailed account of last weeks hardware/software sales.

PS3's 2nd place position in Japan is not threatened though.

LTD: PS3 2.3 million - 360 700k
 
Renting dead space tomorrow!!!!!!

I'm trying to decide what to use my credit with, if I get a good enough ammount for my guitar heroes.

I'm getting Gears 2 for sure, so the smart thing to do would be to put it on that, but I'm tempted by Fable, and Fallout might someone end up being good.

Take a walk with the 3rd Street Saints :cool:

I'm tired. Yet I'm still going to play at least 2 hours worth of SR2 once I'm off duty.
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']SR2 just doesn't appeal to me[/QUOTE]

:whistle2:(

Is anyone planning on cashing in on GS's b2g1? It's so crazy that there's one right after the TRU's. Ugh! I can't wait... if the budget allows it.
 
I'm not.

So I might get a rockband guitar for myself with the guitar hero money if I get enough, instead of a game. Those new ones look really nice.
 
I am half way through Chapter 7 and did a ton more Item Worlding in Disgaea DS. I am thinking about getting SR2. I loved the first. I wanna make a crazy character. Well I am off to play some more Disgaea.

The only plus I've ever found to any RB guitar is that the larger frets make for less hand cramping when shifting my hand -- can't stand them though. I'm interested in checking out the GH:WT guitar for sure though -- don't care about the slide neck, but I do care they seem to have fixed the loose connection inducing neck design.

Yeah, I hate the original rock band guitar, but I've heard the new one is 10000 times improved.

I'm on like Chapter 3 or something and I need a +10 item to progress. I teleported out on the 8th floor because I had only one character left. Do you rush through and try to find the portals or do you fight everything to clear the floor?

And get the Row. On the triple. We'll make a gang.

10000 x 0 = 0. After my experience with EA customer service regarding my fender strat, I will never willingly purchase a EA/Rockband peripheral again. I use the les paul from GH3 when I play RB, but if the GH:WT guitar has the improved fret buttons, I may have to get the guitar bundle for the game. YF360G will have to bail me out again.

Red Octane seems to be the quality peripheral maker, though their drums look like garbage. I think the only potentially solid drumkit is the ION at $300.

Ahadi, your SR2 is the triple version? How's it play? Shame, we can't be gangmates though, I'm playing it on 360.
 
I wish yf360g would work for me. I could get the guitar hero bundle and sell it and use the cash to pick up a guitar for the tripple.

It's apples to oranges really. I like the controller layout a little more, but what's not to say you can't just remap the controls to your liking.

The only reason I didn't get it on 360 is because me and the box are fighting. I've been red ringed too many times to invest the majority of my gaming on it. So I'm just using it for Xbox exclusives these days. :whistle2:( @ not being able to be gangmates.

Speaking of silenced/temp banned comrades, what about dmaul? When's his time up?
 
Just played through the first 45 mins of Dead Space (got it from TRU with Saints Row 2 and Fifa 09) and my early impression is......awesome.

Looking forward to really getting stuck into it over the weekend.

Night GGT.
 
[quote name='Chibi_Kaji']Has anyone played Time Hollow? I'm thinking about ordering along with Theresia DS.[/QUOTE]
It's really good, just short. If you like adventure games I say go for it.

Shorter then Trace Memory?

I'm listening to an old Retronauts (The one about Horror games) again. And they mentioned Rule of Rose... I've always wanted to play that game. But I heard it was pretty bad.

It's about the same length.

Rule of Rose is ok. If you really like survival horror games I say go for it.

I have a female character in Home, and as soon as I log in like every guy ran over to me. Hilarious.

Home is on the PS3, right? Is it like, right on the main menu screen? Or do you need to download something for it? It looks neat...

And I've gotten 3 Space Marines painted. I've got like... 13 more figures to paint. Goddamn. They're looking pretty good for a newbie painter though.
 
I have a love/hate relationship with survival horror games.... I tend to really dig the stories(well for the games with interesting/good stories). But I'm a bit of a coward. So it's nearly impossible for me to play some.
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']It's taking forever to get a Street Fighter Anniversary in at goozex.[/QUOTE]

Have you checked Circuit City? Mine just got 3 copies in at random and they were $13 each.

I've got some people that would pick it up for me, but I need to save my paypal.
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']How is home? I never cared enough to get into the beta.

When will amazon ship my LBP? I'm 6 bucks short.[/QUOTE]
Home is ok. It's gotten a lot better than when I first got in the beta. Still not as cool as I thought it would be.

You have to get into the beta, and then it appears in the PSN store.

Sneh. This exclusive beta shit is annoying. I understand why it is the way it is... but still.

Oh! And I forgot to share this earlier. I was playing SR2, I car jacked someone, started driving off and was greated with the best song on the radio. Nothing better than hopping in a stolen car hearing "Enemies of metal! Your death is our reward!" fucking 3 Inches of Blood! Such a good surprise. Oh man. It totally makes up for having the fucking Agony Scene on the soundtrack.
 
I am near the end of Dragon Quest 4, what a great, great JRPG.

Seriously, the battles take like 2 seconds. Torneko is hilarious, the characters have charm, and it's fun to explore the world. Pretty well written too. The story is simple, and doesn't try anything too crazy, and the graphics are great for DS.

I'm going to see if I enjoy DQ8 after this. Can't wait for the next DS Dragon Quest though. I like the style DQ4 was done in.

It depends. If my chars are over leveled for the monsters I will clear the floor. But I usually just run for the portal unless there is a resident. Also, does anyone know what transmigration is in this game? Is it the same thing as reincarnation? I wanna start making badass characters. I am 36 hours in and loving it.
 
[quote name='Moxio']I want to replay DQVIII again. And P3. And Fable 1. And Final Fantasy X. And Breath of Fire IV.

:|[/quote]

I have most of those and candy in my van. Wanna come over? ;)
 
Ugh if I'd had known Socom would be this bad (server-wise) I would of never bought it day 1. Sat at the title screen for the last hour trying to get in and never did. Sad to say but if anyone is thinking of buying don't do it and wait until they fix their shitty servers.
