[quote name='Ahadi']Well, this biggest trick is that I can't pinpoint what's bugging me. I've got diagnosed depression and think I may just be experiencing a down day. I'm not really sure... just bummed out.[/QUOTE]

If you don't know what's bothering you then that is a problem.

You could always create a bigger problem so you don't have to worry about that smaller insignificant problem that is bothering you now :D
 
[quote name='Ahadi']Truth.

Jer, how much are you looking to get? I've got a buddy who's on the hunt for a triple...

And guys, this is odd, but I've got a mad case of the blues right now. Any tips?[/quote]

Lets see, there's Incubus, although I suppose they might not be along your musical taste.



Oh oh! I got a good one!

Ever play the first gamecube Zelda?

You should read this, http://www.onemanga.com/The_Legend_of_Zelda_-_Wind_Waker_-_Links_Log_Book/1/00/


one of the funniest things I've come upon in awhile.
 
Does not matter when those 3 years have made me want 2 games, because they were cheap. (Motorstorm for $10, Warhawk for $30 w/headset)

Sony, along with the rest of japan is a huge fucking failure this gen and they should be disappointed in themselves. Capcom is the only one excluded from this blanket statement.
 
MGS4 is like a girl who starts giving you a blowjob just until you really enjoy it, then starts reading you a book instead. A really boring book. A book about things you don't care about whatsoever. And then you sell her back to shamestop and remind yourself it's not 1998 anymore, and we play our games now instead of watch them.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']ok. jer. whatever.

i don't think any system out now is shit to be honest. I get different stuff on different systems as expected.[/QUOTE]

I've thought we've all learned to ignore Jer by now? Just let him whine and eventually he'll get bored and stop. That's just the way it's always worked.
 
For the most part, this generation has been a disappointment. Everything costs more, games cost more to make, they usually run like ass, they take longer to develop, and shit's just getting stale.

Plus the next gen is probably 2 years away, so soon devs will be switching over to that. It seems like it's just getting started and it's been going for 3 years.

Maybe I'm jaded, but that's how I feel.
 
k

will do.


I hope I get my paycheck soon... too much good stuff out in the next month. at least most of what I want is out november.


oh, and to all who hate this gen, there's a gem you guys keep ignoring... indie games. i'm still sad I get ignored everytime I post that stuff. such a good point in gaming in this era while mainstream stuff is crap.

Yeah, MGS4 is the only game that has made the current gen worthy IMO. Other than that, I miss last gen. It was better in every way.
 
I'd like to check out more of that indie stuff but I use an old mac and it either doesn't run, or runs poorly..

Whoknows, ignoring opinions you don't agree with just for that reason is what children do. Is that what you are?

Honestly, my PS3 is a $500 PS2 upscaler/1up show machine. This is not acceptable. I'm not mad at Sony, I just want to sell the damn thing. I've slowly been getting more and more upset at it and the fact that I'm buying like 5 360 games this holiday and none for PS3 just drove that point home.
 
[quote name='jer7583']Whoknows, ignoring opinions you don't agree with just for that reason is what children do. Is that what you are?[/QUOTE]

You figured it out. I'm actually 12.
 
I'm right now planning on buying no PS3 games for full price and maybe Fable 2 and GOW2 for 360. Fallout 3 I'll get for PC. That's about it.

Games I want are Project Origin PC, SFIV, RE5, and Tekken 6. And they all come out next year.

My PS3 plays SCIV, Tekken 5 DR, and Blurays. My 360 plays VF5. That's about all I regularly play on them.
 
I love it too. I just can't find anything to love on PS3. Maybe other people do, but I don't.

Playing HAZE the other day was the last straw. That defines what is wrong with the PS3 experience. All promise, no delivery.
 
Haze is more about co-op. Alone it isn't a very good game, but if you're playing co-op with someone, then it's far more enjoyable.

Then again, co-op can make any game fun.
 
well it was just the last PS3 game I played before listing it for sale. At least blockbuster gave me $16 for it after paying $5.

The game was just boring. I don't see what's better about making myself and 3 friends bored vs just making myself bored..

If I wanted to play co-op i'd play a good shooter with it like Gears or Halo. Not bullshit like HAZEE just because it's on PS3.
 
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']Well, maybe, just to share the fun of getting punched in the nuts by midgets with a friend.[/QUOTE]

And by doing so you'd have a good time, right?


Just goes to support my flawless theory.
 
I like F.E.A.R.

Even the console version. It's what I'm stuck with. Shitty computer and all. Blame the PS3 I bought instead of a computer.
 
F.E.A.R. is so bad ass. You need to get a decent PC and experience it the way it's meant to be. :)

[quote name='whoknows']And by doing so you'd have a good time, right?

Well, it'd be fun for a few seconds, maybe. . .

I do like watching shitty movies with friends and trashing them.
 
I played it on the PC. It was great back when it came out. Tried to play it again recently though, but office buildings just aren't as cool as they once were.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']What's wrong with the console version?[/QUOTE]

30 FPS, slowdown, mouse aiming is superior, lower res, worse textures, worse effects.

I'm just an elitist.
 
Not really a pickup but my arcade got this in today...

How long ago did you trade that in? I'm tempted to do that since I'm done with the game.

So nothing much.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']So nothing much.[/QUOTE]

You can play and enjoy the console version. But the PC version is superior. And I must play the best version if I really like a game.

It's like eating a hamburger at McDonalds. It's technically a hamburger, right?
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']You can play and enjoy the console version. But the PC version is superior. And I must play the best version if I really like a game.[/quote]

I'm very much the same way , even though for me it does not have to be strictly a game that I really like , but any game that I plan on adding to my collection.

Because of that I usually do a lot of comparison checking on different review sites (1up , gamespot , IGN , Metacritic) to try and get an idea of whether one version is superior to the others. In cases where it's not (as has been often the case this gen) I usually either go with the 360 version for achievements , or whatever system the game seems to be the best "fit" on (ex. Sonic Unleashed will be on all 3 systems , but it may end up being the best fit on the wii).

Just me being strange. Been like that about my games since the PS1/N64 gen , when I was first able to start really buying games on my own.
 
I've been like that since SNES and Genesis. And I hate it when they don't compare versions in a review. :bomb:

If I'm going to bother buying a game, it needs to be the best version, or really cheap.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']I've been like that since SNES and Genesis. And I hate it when they don't compare versions in a review. :bomb:[/quote]

I hate that too. Sites seem to be getting worse about that now more than ever. Unless there is something really noticeable between the versions they don't even bring it up (which I guess makes sense but still).

Even worse about gamespot is that they used to have the really helpful *BEST* tags next to the system that it was the best version on , but when they recently updated the site , they appear to have gotten rid of all of them. Guess because most newer games were not even getting the tags anyway. Last game I had remembered getting one was Ikaruga , where the 360 version was tagged best.
 
Ok. So Amazon says my Fable II is in Allen Park again. fuck you Amazon. Gotta get up early tomorrow and get to Best Buy to pick up Family Guy. Probably going to return my unopened Haze. Just don't want to get stuck with a turd. I'll try the demo again.
 
My out-of-town friend is at my house playing Heavenly Sword while I'm stuck here at this remote location waiting for this maintenance to end.

Just thought I'd share.

Because I'm bored.

At least there is Internetz.

>_<

Edit: awiight. I'm outta here.

Edit2: He was playing GT5P when I got home. Before he left, he played some DMC4.

I'm DL'ing the update for GT5P now. Also DL'd the Obsidian suit for Dead Space.

I'll be hitting the hay soon, but since we were playing the Triple tonight, I thought about how many PS3 games are in the pipe for me:

LBP
Naruto Ninja Storm
Valkyria
Resistance 2
Eternal Sonata
Mirror's Edge
Prince of Persia
MK Vs DC

Not sure why I went PS3 for the last two, but I got discounts on 'em, so oh well.

Holy shit!

The ska news is what I care about. I swear if they put in any streetlight manifesto I will suck the dick of every employee there, and if they do the full album of Keasbey Nights I'll tickle their assholes too.
 
[quote name='jer7583']Sony is such a fucking failure compared to PS2. I have like 30 PS2 games next to my meager PS3 collection.[/QUOTE]
I hope none of those games were also out on Xbox.

[quote name='zewone']I have a new GOTY. :cool:[/QUOTE]
I eagerly await the day where a man can tell others his GOTY with impunity.

That's harsh. That's like saying "Playing the Burger King games the other day was the last straw. That defines what is wrong with the Xbox experience. "
 
[quote name='Ahadi']14 hours @ 30% in Saints Row 2. w00t.

Someone on my floor is smoking pot. It stinks of reef and air freshener. I think I know who it is and I'll give 'em a talkin' to tomorrow.

Also, trouble in paradise with my lady. I think I'm done with putting up with BS.

And Boston Legal was excellent.[/QUOTE]

did you take out the punk son? ;)

Mouse aiming? Is your first choice in consoles a Wii, by chance? :p

Was there ever any doubt?
