[quote name='Rei no Otaku']The first Drakengard has an amazing story. fuck the reviews because as usual reviewers are morons. Basically the entire game is about Caim's, the main character, descent into madness when he's left with nothing but his vengeance. Everything in the game is used to convey this. From Caim himself who become more and more unhinged (one level has you killing child soldiers begging you to spare their lives as your own companions beg you to stop), to the music which becomes more off-key and messed up as you go on, to the levels and enemies which get more twisted. Your party members include an insane woman who murders and eats children and a blind pedophile. Caim's sister, who you spend most of the game trying to rescue, wants more than anything to have sex with her brother. After admitting it, she promptly kills herself.

I could go on, but the point is that Drakengard's story was excellent, mature, and deep. Sadly the second game is nowhere near as good, and it's quite clear it was dumbed down for the mainstream. You should still play it if you like the first game, but prepare to be disappointed.[/quote]

Sounds good. I'm a bit more interested in playing the game now then I was before.
 
[quote name='Azumangaman']Yeah, I tried Splash Woman (umpossible) Concrete (I think) Man (super hard) and Magma Man (sucktastic).

Tomorrow I'm ACTUALLY going to Futureshop, and If all goes well I'll get pre-orders for LBP and Fable 2 as well as Dead Space and NHL 09.[/quote]

i read somehwere splash woman was easy and i can get to her to but i die every time :cry:

Oh shes easy all right :cool: :lol:

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on an arcade stick tomorrow.
 
[quote name='whoknows']Is Valhalla Knights worth playing? I was at GS the other day, and the coverart for the VK2 made me want to try it.[/quote]


I got so pulled into it. yes, the game does have obvious flaws, but i can't say why I loved it. I guess I love the grinding aspects as well as how unfair the game feels. supposedly valhalla 2 fixed some of that.
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']This rail shooting mini game is so fucking stupid. I want to cut off fucking limbs, not die shooting asteroids![/quote]

Ha, that's the same exact spot I turned it off, too.
 
[quote name='SL4IN']Final Fantasy Tactics series.[/QUOTE]
Well JP only goes to the attacker. I guess there was experience on top of that I forgot about.

[quote name='Rei no Otaku']I finished both and I go with Jeanne. As for best story from Square Enix, that goes to Drakengard.[/QUOTE]
You know I played Drakengard, mostly for the story, and I didn't really like it.

I noticed that about the music, but I bought it used, so I figured it was a bad disc. The rest I don't even remember.
 
Gonna try and beat Xenosaga 2 today. I will take your advice, Pete, and rewatch the ending of Ep 1 before I do tho. My memory of it is a little fuzzy anyway.

I actually remember be pretty shitty...
 
I really should get into a normal sleeping pattern. Too many late nights of gaming goodness. I'm on an 8 AM - 2 PM sleep schedule. Playing fighters all night = great times.

PSN is screwed up for me. I can download stuff and whatnot, but I can't connect to servers, like for the Resistance 2 beta and Life With Playstation.

This is because someone realized the folly of not inviting me to the R2 beta. I mean, you saw what happened with the LBP beta. They didn't invite me and now it's delayed a week. Sony is falling apart without me! :whee:
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']Buy me one for my birthday while you're at it. :p[/QUOTE]

PM me your address so I can make sure you get it :lol:

Dumb question though, the stick will work with ps2 games, right? I don't see why it wouldn't...

I think today is going to be a Saints Row day. Though I've really been bitten by the soul calibur bug.

Yep. At least the Hori Fighter Stick 3 (aka the SCIV stick) on the PS3 works with Gulity Gear, KOF, Tekken 5, SF and Soul Calibur 3. I'd assume it works with most (but probably all) other games.
 
Hey guys, within a few minutes I plan on (hopefully) getting rid of tons of games. I'm going to list them here, just in case anybody is interested in buying them.

360
Ace Combat 6
Rockstar Table Tennis
Virtua Tennis 3
Viva Pinata Party Animals
NFL Tour
Call Of Duty 2
Bullet Witch
Bioshock(when I play it again it will be PS3)
NCAA Football 08
NHL 2K8
Condemned 2
Warhawk
Ninja Gaiden Sigma (trades in for $27, so I doubt I'd sell it because nobody would buy it at that price)
GTA IV
DMC 4
Virtua Fighter 5 (It still lists the game as 59.99, so it could be obscenely high)

DS
Metroid Prime Pinball

PSP
Death Jr.
Lumines II
Castlevania something rather

Hopefully I'll be able to get Fable II and LBP payed off (that should take 3 games for both) and then use the rest for Dead Space and NHL 09, maybe some other games/movies with leftover credit.

Wow, I didn't know they made Sigma for the 360...

:whistle2:k
 
[quote name='manthing']Wow, I didn't know they made Sigma for the 360...

:whistle2:k[/quote]
Bahaha. Missed that one :)
But they're (Future Shop) really out of touch. They sell the GH version for $29.99, yet the non-GH version trades in for $27. AWESOME.
 
IF they give you something obscenely low for ace combat don't sell it, I'll match it lol.

Pulled out more books out of the garage, gonna sell them today. I've almsot sold enough to make RB2 60 bucks out of pocket. Since I'm skipping fallout, it all works out. Probably goign to wait on fable till my birthday, because rock band is seriously going to fucking own my life.

I slept on it, and I want the RB2 set. I looked up the problems with the drums online, and it doesn't seem to be affecting a ton of people. I like that the cymbals are optional so I shoudl be able to play RB2 without them and then GH WT with them. I loved the rock band guitar that I played with at walmart (I'll finally be able to do shit on expert easily again) and I really don't think the world tour one will be better. If it is I'll pick it up later so I can have a full set. Anyone wanna talk me out of it?
 
They gave me $25 for Ace Combat. Considering I got it at a 2/30 sale and never really touched it, I was happy.
I traded in 11 games for 169.20. Picked up Dead Space and NHL 09 (44.99 each, free with trade credit) and I have $70 left which gives me enough to fully pay-off both LBP AND FABLE II :)
 
Wow they seem to give amazing trade in credit.

Ended up getting a Wii from my cousin for $150 :hot: Comes with 2 wiimotes and nunchucks, charger stand for the controllers, wii sports, link's crossbow training and the wii zapper. Damn good deal and that is what he offered to sell it for, no negociations or anything. What are some good games to pick up? I picked up a point card and no more heroes so far. It has super mario 64 and paper mario on it so far.
 
[quote name='Lorddraco07']Wow they seem to give amazing trade in credit.
[/quote]
Yeah, they REALLY do. I didn't trade in NGS, it rang up as 8.40 instead of 27.
Also, VF5 for 360 is 22.80! AMAZING.
 
I'm so pissed. I bought a bunch of $1 lunchable's extra cheese pizzas at walmart. I didn't check to see if they were pepperoni or not. Still tasty though...

I've almost clocked in 10 hours of Saints Row. I'm seriously loving this game.
 
Anyone know how the transfer of money works in Fable 2 from the Pub games? I know people got the game from newegg.com early. But I haven't been able to get a straight answer.
 
[quote name='Chibi_Kaji']No thanks, I'm quite sure I hated the game.[/QUOTE]
Poor thing.

Though I will say the US version toned down a lot of the stuff and made it a lot harder to understand what was going on. Kind of made it more fun for me though since it had the side effect of making the game more open to interpretation.
 
[quote name='Kendal']This coming from someone who likes Dynasty Warriors?:lol:[/QUOTE]
Exactly why my opinion is so much more valid than everyone else's.
 
Just beat GoW (on casual :whistle2:#). General RAAM pissed me off and I had to retry him a dozen times or so before I finally beat him. Now I'm ready for Gears 2.
 
Jesus today is shitty. Rock Band pedal broke, an hour before I was going to leave to buy the new set, my computer is freezing like a bitch, and my phone is being an asshole.
 
Hour 93 of Oblivion. Dark Brotherhood quest line has some great moments. Time to hit up those Shivering Isles after I come back from Vegas. Then, finally, back to the backlog.

Go to a pub and play a pub game. You can transfer your money there, and collect your prizes.
 
Still haven't picked up Dead Space since the whole asteroid thing. Played more Saint's Row 2 today, did more activities, bought a pad at the hotel.. I really, really, really want to start Mother 3. Really bad. But I have like three homework assignments to do, so you know what that means..

It means it's time for Rock Band 2.
 
I'm trying to control myself and not by RB2 till I see the guitar hero reviews, but it's fucking hard.

I hit jack mode on my mom's credit card What your free 360 games offers are cheap and easy? I'll do gamefly with my paypal but I need something to go with it. Does google seo charge you other than the 2 dorrar sign up?
