She was a cooler character in MGS1, but she's still pretty hot in IV. I just hate the way they developed her character.
 
I'm fine with how she turned out. You can't have awesome characters without someone whining. I'm not talking about meryl whining, I'm talking about the rest of the cast. it was good whining though. I enjois ets.
 
I thought Meryl looked much better in the early MGS4 trailers(Except the hair). In the game she looked more... manly then anything else. Now I'm not saying she needed to look like one of the girls from the Beast corps. But she didn't need to be so bulky...
 
[quote name='heavyd853']We needed more Raiden action in that game! He was a badass through and through in IV.



I demand a Raiden spinoff![/QUOTE]

The ironing here is how bad he was hated in MGS2 when he replaced snake as the playable character for the majority of the game.
 
[quote name='jer7583']dmaul does seem to pull out the "well I'm an adult with adult responsibilities so, being an adult, I don't have time for all this stuff and I can only play western games, which are much better than everything else, as long as i'm shooting something, so it holds my attention, because I don't have a lot of time like I used to when I was a kid, because I'm an adult now, with adult responsibilities, and adult things to do." card every time he posts..[/quote]Heh, I think you got it actually.

Eh, it's all good.

I enjoyed Raiden in MGS2, I always felt that he should have his own Ninja Gaiden-esq game. After seeing in in MGS4, he definitely needs his own game.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']It's all about Mei Ling...[/quote]


I was actually mostly attached to Johnny than most of the other characters. I felt the worst for otacon, wanted the best for johnny, wanted snake to get his due, and raped meryl.
 
well, it's 4:33am, I'm reading through The Watchmen for the first time (from what is apparently a porn site) and eating some beef cheap ramen. sounds like a good night to me.

genna try and get my family to play rock band 2 with me tomorrow.

[quote name='Nelo Ice']so diablo 2 battlechest is $19.99 at best buy this week

im guessing i should pick that up since ive never played diablo before[/QUOTE]

Yes, yes you should.

Also, after buying the game, if you create an account and then register your CD Key with the Blizzard store, you can download a digital copy of your game on any PC as many times as you wish, just like Steam :)

This works for all blizzard games as far as I know, not just Diablo II.
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']Wah. Three posters and no one got the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia reference?[/QUOTE]
I got it, and yes, that part in MGS4 was a pain in the dick.

I just signed up for Verizon Fios, so now maybe my PSN downloads will take less than 10 hours each?
cue tmk post
 
PS3 is kind of a failure to me. I DO have lots of Blu-Rays though, and it makes me smile when I watch them.
Off to work, then Vikings game, then celebrating the First Night of Channukah :)

yes, and then go pick up the Starcraft battle chest at EB for $19.99. and never have to worry about playing another game again. Unless it's the Warcraft 3 battle chest :lol:


hay guys, my graduation ceremony is today. Finally done with college.
 
[quote name='whoknows']Finally beat Prince of Persia.


Good game. I enjoyed it besides the forced item collecting.[/QUOTE]

There were enough light seeds that I never really had to say "I need to go find another 70 orbs now." As long as you weren't teleporting everywhere ...

Did you like the final sections? Do not click unless you've beat PoP (the newest one)...
I thought the fight against Elika's father was a breeze after honing my skills against some of the other asshole bosses (I hated the Alchemist a lot... the spitting shit the Hunter started to do got old real quick!)... I was aggravated by not having a choice on cutting down the trees and reviving Elika again. I thought it cheapened the experience by making me feel like I just wasted however many hours because the shit just re-hit the fan. And the ending was so short and giving me a "...to be continued..." :bomb:

[quote name='Brak']I loathe turning my Triple on...[/QUOTE]

Why do you have one then? :whistle2:s
 
Gonna watch Jingle All the Way and then MGS4.

C'mon, guys.

ARNOLD PUNCHES A REINDEER IN THE FACE.

I love Johnny for some reason. He's just great.

Otacon cries and I feel weird.

I just got microwaved.
 
Played Sonic Unleashed demo.

Wow, Sonicteam really has no idea how to make a 3D Sonic anymore. Every little transition felt awkward....just really bad.... In a way it's more like a 2D Sonic though, with 3D graphics.
 
Through a series of flips and cashier mistakes (like giving me credit for a free game :) ) I picked up at pretty much no cost:

360:
Project Sylpheed
99 Nights

PS3:
GTAIV (rebought)
PSN $20 card
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']no to me. I'm killing to play it. :drool:[/quote]2:30 AM, Wednesday, December 24. A small railroad bridge overlooking what was once the Morris Canal in New Jersey. Knives of no more than seven inches only.

First to draw blood, first to surrender, or to the death?
 
Sucks to hear that Factor 5 has closed. I was really hoping that they would give us a next-gen Rogue Squadron game one day.

X-Wing vs Tie-Fighter dogfights online in HD. Somebody make this shit happen, dammit!
 
Yah, what Rei said. Mirror's Edge just didn't do it for me.

Oh, BTW Rei, I'm finally getting around to watching Neon Gen. Evangelion. Good stuff!
 
I really enjoyed the ME demo actually, but it seems like people are enjoying PoP much better. I'm concerned about PoP's difficulty, and the fact that Eurogamer doesn't really seem to dig it.

Maybe I should just skip out on both of them.
 
[quote name='Krymner']Oh, BTW Rei, I'm finally getting around to watching Neon Gen. Evangelion. Good stuff![/QUOTE]
Greatest show ever made, not to mention it's all about Rei.
 
Aaaaand I've fininished Planescape: Torment. Thoughts are as follows...

Basic grinding is mostly irrelevant. 75% of the EXP seems to come through quests and conversations.
Party members are often irrelevant since they force EXP division. I probably should have just gone with four or five people. Honestly, Morte the Floating Skull was probably my best non-main-character fighter 'cause at least his HP wasn't made of suck.
Black Isle really loved the mothafuckin' whores.
Black Isle also sucked at doing AI. It seems like everyone in both Torment and Fallout 2 would be afflicted with temporary mental retardation about 30 seconds into a fight without fail.
The last bit of the game was pretty weak. Especially the second run through Curst. The enemy AI basically gave up all of the I in favour of the A and tried to compensate by throwing huge numbers of infinitely respawning enemies at you. Basically just turned into some easy-as-fuck grinding.
The game gives you a rest button, but I found only three places that allowed me to use it. One was an irrelevant plot detail, one was totally out of the way, and one was useful but stuck in the middle of that abomination of a fight in Curst.
The game also kinda gave a pretty big "fuck you!" to anyone who wanted to use axes and not be a bad guy. All the really cool axes were evil only, and it was too late to switch my character over to anything worse than neutral.
Tattoos > Armour.
Daggers > Swords, apparently.
Scottish accent = distracting. Especially whe only one god damn character in the entire game has it.
Jennifer Hale has done voice acting for every single game in existence.

Damn good game overall with some major bugs and bad AI.

Factor 5 is gone now too? Damn first Free Radical , then Black Box , now Factor 5 , what a crappy week for developers.
 
Hey guys. How's everyone doing? Lots of snow over here.

I don't like Grandia 2. Nor do I like finals week or the week before finals. Though I've been playing a lot of Civ4 before I went to bed. I really need to learn how to actually play it. Like, keeping cities happy and healthy and stuff.
 
[quote name='pete5883']
Now that you mention it, that is pretty common. Comes off as a bit condescending after a while.[/QUOTE]

No condescension intended. If anything my bitching is reflective of being envious of you young'uns and all your free time!
 
We have lots of snow here as well. It's pretty... pretty cold, that is. Good thing we'll be in S. Fla. for Christmas!

Couldn't sleep, so got up early and played Animal Crossing. Damn Nookway didn't open until eight, though. Also broke both my high scores in Garbage Attack in Planet Puzzle League while doing Daily Play (the new record is 254, btw). Will probably play some Rune Factory now. Still tired, so don't want to play anything where I have to pay a lot of attention to the story.

Also, Happy Holidays, all.
 
Tons of snow here as well. It's still snowing in fact >.<

Home is kind of annoying. Getting sick of people flocking around me every time I go on it. People act like they've never seen a female character before.

Sounds like an MMO. (Guess it sort of is, though.)

Still snowing here too. It's like fucking Groundhog day. I've woken up every day this week and it's been snowing :lol:

Home was kind of annoying from the moment I tried to leave my "house" and it took like 3 minutes to load the outside. Then another 3 minutes to load another area... And then the cycle continued. Unimpressed. Though Home isn't really much of anything to me anyway. I'm not in to it, and there's really nothing that appealing about it to me.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Home is kind of annoying. Getting sick of people flocking around me every time I go on it. People act like they've never seen a female character before.[/quote]

I also saw this the few minutes I spent checking Home out. Every time a female avatar would stand in one spot for more than three seconds, guys would start crowding around it. I thought it was funny so I just hung back listening in to the conversations, and it was pathetic. Like, really totally pathetic to the point of being one of the most sad displays of human interaction within a digital environment that I had ever witnessed. Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a male. What a bunch of losers.

Oh well, I'm gonna go back to hitting on Rise in Persona 4 now...

Congratulations on being done with college. :)

I bought the Warcraft 3 Battle Chest from GS used for $8 a long time ago. I've barely played it. Maybe I should?

Snow and cold here, fucking sucks ass. It's like -3 right now. fuck winter.

More Falout 3 today, methinks.
