So now if you play multiplatform games on 360, you're SO biased.

There's plenty of logical reasons to do so. Controller preference, installs, acievements, established friends, XBL/PSN preference.

In my case all those fall on 360.

Even if I had a ps3 I'd be buying these games for 360 unless the ps3 version was superior, which isn't the case very often.

Unless you're playing exclusives if you own a 360, your bias. FACT. Myke said so.

fear 2 is good. No matter what you are playing it on.
 
True about tf2.

Hope they update the 360 one someday like they promised 6 months ago.
 
In the 360 version of TF2, I shot a guy point blank 3 times with the Scout's shotgun and he didn't die, then he killed me, all while there was no apparent lag. FACT.

I traded a gbc and pokemkn red and silver for a gamecube. What games should I get on the cheap?

REmake (before 5 comes out and drives the price up.)

I do and I should use it more, but I'm getting lazier and less excited about playing games on the PC these days, as my pickiness about games dwindles and my library of DS and GBA games increases like so much frothing demand and drunk posting. I even passed on L4D half price, since I know I'll pick it up on 360 eventually and that Valve is supporting it as much as the PC version.

yep, all that wasted time arguing with me about PC versions :cool:
 
[quote name='mykevermin']jer hasn't played a second of Orange Box on PS3.

fact.

jer's gameplaying recently has been balls-deep in multiplatform titles, yet he manages, time and time again, to act like the PS3 has no games.

fact.

jer just likes to maintain his gimmick because he thinks it gets under my skin.

opinion. and a false assumption. ;)[/quote]

[quote name='jer7583']So now if you play multiplatform games on 360, you're SO biased. - Nope

There's plenty of logical reasons to do so. Controller preference, installs, acievements, established friends, XBL/PSN preference. - Of course

In my case all those fall on 360. - List of jer's positives and negatives lead him to a legit choice

Even if I had a ps3 I'd be buying these games for 360 unless the ps3 version was superior, which isn't the case very often. - Preference of console which taking shot as the other console - NO! JER! NO!

Unless you're playing exclusives if you own a 360, your bias. FACT. Myke said so. - OBJECTION! - No he didn't, where did it say?

fear 2 is good. No matter what you are playing it on. - It's good, but no great - Telling an opinion of a game without making a comparison to another game for the sole purpose of pointing out what jer find the other game's faults are i.e. no attacks, just an opinion - APPROVED![/quote]

I've been playing Splinter Cell Double Agent on PC. That game is like a homebrew Splinter Cell game. It's got some problems for sure, and it doesn't look as good or play as well as Chaos Theory. Ubi Montreal makes the best SC games by far IMO.

Speaking of trannies and post ops, a group of them gave a panel lecture in my sexuality class today. It was quite entertaining, and the class ended in the first drag show I've ever seen. Also entertaining.

You don't say "I think such and such is bad" or "I heard such and such is bad" you say" I KNOW such and such is bad" or "such and such is bad. FACT"[/quote]

If you OWN multiplatform titles on the 360, bully for you. They're multiplatform (fact. ;))

If you have to vehemently DEFEND the 360 version as the only one worth owning, particularly when you have put no time whatsoever into other versions (other than to, :lol:, "research" their quality - when such research means listening to the kinds of folks who post on message boards and taking their word at face value), and insist upon some inherent valuation that doesn't exist? Then, yeah...you're biased.

You can tell me you own a PSP until you're blue in the face, but given what you've said about it before, it's pretty clear that this is your equivalent of the "I have tons of black friends" defense mechanism of the dunderheaded racist white guy.

Embrace who you are. Accept your bias. Hey, I have a bias, don't I? My bias tells me that there better be some pretty incredible shit available on the 360 version of a title to compel me to buy it over the PS3. So I have Fallout 3 and GTAIV as multiplatforms. There's more content available, so that's logical. But were I to "research" and find that there are 3% more jaggies in one version than another, bias or not - that kind of effort just ain't that interesting to me.

That's what I'm trying to get at: preferences for certain consoles I can understand (well, not in the case of the Wii - but I'll accept that as plausible ;)). Have a preference. But this "rah rah this system sucks and this system rules" crap dichotomous way of living is for two types of people: cheerleaders and talk radio hosts. You don't get paid enough to have such a vociferous disdain for something you don't have much experience owning or using. You can say "I don't like the PS3" until you're blue in the face. But I have a hard time understanding what a console must have done to leave you so offended and insistent that we need to be reminded that you don't like it time and time again. Don't like it. That's your choice and your right. But, for fuck's sake, leave us out of this: we get that you don't like it, and we'll be able to predict that until kingdom fucking come. So stop talking about it like it's the console equivalent of the girlfriend who broke up with you 9 months ago that you never stop talking about.

You ain't convincing *me* you're over her. Stop writing her name on your Trapper Keeper, man.

FEAR 1 is a lot more fun than I remember the demo being (not fun at all). Reminds me of Max Payne, hopefully that means I can finish it in a few days. Might just pick up FEAR 2 when it's $30 or cheaper, which will probably be around April or so (here's hoping sales tank).

I'm a little surprised how badly Double Agent turned out since Ubisoft Shanghai did Pandora Tomorrow and that was a really good game. It is a shame though, seeing as how Double Agent did have some pretty cool environments... just wish it was fun to explore them.
 
But it's old-school Sonic, back when he was cool.

Now if it was that lanky, does alot of coke version of Sonic, then yes you would be in the right.

I remember the days when PHantasy Star 4 alone fetched 30+, now you get it and like 30 other games for $30.
 
So I'm about five or six hours in to Chrono Trigger and I'm really enjoying it. It doesn't seem as tedious(thus far) as DQIV. What blows my mind about CT though is I ate some dudes lunch and tried to sell a pendent and those actions came back to bite me in the ass! That's wicked neat, but now I'm sort of apprehensive to "turn over every rock" so to say.

And I just picked up a PSP yesterday. I snagged the Daxter bundle at Radioshack. I was on the hunt for the Darth Vader bundle, so I'm going to check another Radioshack before I bust it open. But can you guys steer me towards some games? I was thinking of grabbing Star Ocean and maybe God of War. Any suggestions?

Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
Mega Man Powered UP!
Jeanne D'Arc
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy Crisis Core

I found myself really disappointed with Jeanne D'Arc, but I'll second all those other games. Only other domestic game that's definitely worth having IMO is Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles.
 
The most 2 most disappointing things with Jeanne D'Arc was first, when the character (spoiler ahead)
Roger just up and left your party, then he comes back later in the game and is completely useless, does zero damage most of the time and the game forces you play with him. It really sucked too, because Roger was my favorite character up until that point.
. And the second thing being that when you fight bosses in the game, it usually results in 3 or 4 back to back fights without any break in between, so be sure to stock up on potions before you head in.
 
I almost grabbed FFT at GS for like $12, but I'm real hesitant with grid games like that. But I suppose for $12, I could have easily gotten my moneys worth. Back in the days of my ol' PSP, I knocked out Maverick Hunter and Powered Up, and I loved those to death. I do think I'll look into the Castlevania Chronicles. That's a series I think I need to give more attention to.

I'm probably going to pick up Battlefront 2 today when I go to Wally World. So excited.

Well I wouldn't pick up Battlefront 2 ever, but that's just me.

FFT is one of the very few turn based strategy games that I enjoy. I really liked stuff like Disgaea at first, but I couldn't stomach more than a few hours of it... it's like every strat game that game after FFT gradually got worse and worse.

Hmm... Well your impression of Disgaea is pretty much the same as mine. So maybe I'll check out Tactics. $12 isn't a pricey risk.

And I love Battlefront 2. I love the idea of playing it on the go.
 
I just feel like almost all of the really graphically intense games on the PSP just feel incredibly janky. I mean, the idea of having console games in a portable setting is kinda cool, but I dunno... after playing stuff like Outrun on the PSP, I realized that I'd rather just play nothing while I'm gone, and then actually enjoy the game when I'm at home.

Dffrnt Strokes.
 
I own a ps2, too. Is that like saying oh but I have gay friends?

Genesis collection. Hot.

Does it bug the shit out of anyone else how the guide freezes up all the time now for like 20 seconds before responding? I think it crashes TF2 sometimes too when I'm hosting.

I hope they clean that up in a spring update.
 
Pursuit force games are good on psp. Otherwise, custom firmware or it's a useless device.

Oh, gotcha. You do love Sony after all, and support their products and games. My bad.

:whistle2:s

Do you contradict yourself on purpose within minutes of each other to get me to call you out and waste time in my day, or are you just a blithering idiot?

(strangely, I agree with the assessment of the need for CFW on PSP; until Sony allows you to install your own PSX games on the memory stick, or until they actually get off their asses and release PSX games on the PSN.)

[quote name='Chacrana']So what kind of bonus materials are there on the Genesis Collection? Specifically for the good games.[/QUOTE]

Shinobi arcade. There's other stuff, too, like "Congo Bongo" and the like, but...SHINOBI ARCADE. "welcome to the bonus stage!"
