[quote name='zewone']Yeah, I think you just need some soldering skills.

I've seen some pretty nice FS3/EX2 sticks.[/quote]

The buttons should be the only real soldering part and it's not that bad, it looks like -- you just need a basic soldersucker and a soldering iron with a small tip. Though for the EX2, I hear you have to widen the button holes to change to sanwa buttons.
 
So is there good incentive to get SFIV if you're gonna play alone a lot?

Like are there good story modes, character trials, or anything similar to the awesome World Tour mode from Alpha 3?

I'm getting the SFIV bug... :(
 
[quote name='zewone']HRAP EX and HRAP3 are both sold out on Amazon.

I'm assuming there was a ton of orders because of SFIV and the lack of quality in the SE and the lack of quantity in the TE.

Glad I ordered when I did.[/QUOTE]
Hell yeah, me too. Just got it in fact, and I need to test it out right now. :)

I ordered this morning with overnight shipping, amazon says their preparing the stick for shipment, estimated arrival is February 23rd. I don't know what the fuck that's supposed to mean, but I hope my stick gets here before my SFIV pad breaks.

There's generic story mode for each character with an 8 stage "tour" that ends fighting your rival (7) then seth (8)... though the rivals are a joke. everyone hates chun-li and abel apparently... :whistle2:s

other than that, there's survival modes (normal, hard, with specific fight limits (no UC for computer, etc.)), time attack modes, and then 5 challenges for each character based off combos and specials.

I wouldn't say it's a single player game... I'm going to give it a second chance over Live at some point, but I'm mostly done with it unless I get the urge to try to cheese whore some of the game...
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']just get it. it's a great game with a long life, no matter what.[/quote]I can't just play against the computer all the time like I did when I was a kid.

[quote name='tiredfornow']time trials and the stories are 15 second cut scenes at the beginning and end of each character's arcade mode.[/quote]Hmm, that all?

EDIT: Thanks Frosty.
Interest fading.

it's fun as hell on its own and I would be occupied even by playing various difficulties on single player, but there isn't much for people who want lots of modes and replay value from the single player mode.

You can unlock characters, do challenges that are pretty fun, and that's about it. It depends on whether you play to learn the game or just play to beat the CPU...

Yeah, this game would be a no brainer when I was younger, and had lots of friends and siblings to play locally with. Also the computer would be fun to play against then too.

I really need a stronger singleplayer experience though.
Playing online seems ok, but I really dislike the lag, even if it is minimal, I know it's there.

Sounds ok, I like unlocking stuff, and I like challenges. I wouldn't mind springing for it when it's a bit cheaper.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']but I'm mostly done with it unless I get the urge to try to cheese whore some of the game...[/quote]I forgot achievements don't add replay value.
 
I play online, but 1v1 fighters feel slightly off online.
I'm sure I'd have fun, but victories and losses don't feel as satisfying.

I'll call the guy and see if he still has it.
 
[quote name='dallow']Damn, had no idea this was coming.

Sorry every other game, here is GOTY 2009

Picross.......... 3D

Crazy. The 2-d version alone broke my brain.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']I think my problem with the game stems from the use of the 3D models and the "2.5-D gameplay". It doesn't feel quite right to me. Hating the graphics style and the new characters doesn't help either. ;)[/QUOTE]
I'm with you on that one.
 
got my 3 month card from today for buyin the gta expansion
though im gonna try trading it for points since im set for live until 2010 though i have a ridiculous amount of points but u can never have enough points :lol:
 
Flower is so gewd.
And Noby Noby Boy got a 9/10 from Eurogamer. Damn, good stuff.
The guy's interview is hilarious, also on that site.
He's a genius.

Yakuza 3 demo is up!
 
[quote name='zewone']Little to no lag w/ SFIV.

Challenges you'll never complete because they are ridiculous.[/quote]

The challenges are indeed ridiculous. I'd love to see someone pull them off without an arcade stick... or in the least, a fight pad. Hmmm... clever marketing by Mad Catz and Capcom?! It's a conspiracy!!1!!11!! :whee:

[quote name='tiredfornow']I forgot achievements don't add replay value.[/quote]

You don't comprehend the english language so good, do you?

"Achievements don't add "replayability" unless you like the game and care about achievements."

Huh... I'd have thought the "unless" in that sentence,makes it a conditional statement, not an absolute statement! I guess not.
Wow. Learn something new everyday... right? I guess I must be one of those... hypocrites. There's an oath I have to take now, right?

[quote name='whoknows']I'm downloading the Yakuza 3 demo now :whee:
It's going to take awhile, but I bet it'll be awesome.[/quote]

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']wtf? yakuza demo??????? dlding!!!!!!!!!1[/quote]

Does it have English support? :whistle2:s Won't all the instructions and dialogue and text be in Japanese?


[quote name='Maklershed']I'll get that demo when I get home. I'm thinking I'll get Noby Noby Boy too.[/quote]

What are they charging for Noby Noby?
 
The end to Spider-man: Web of Shadow kind of disappointed me. Not because it was bad or anything(The story is pretty forgettable). But
They showed Black Widow asking an infected Wolverine to kill me... I was kind of hoping I'd get to go another round with him or just see him attacking me. But it just ended on that.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']Does it have English support? :whistle2:s Won't all the instructions and dialogue and text be in Japanese?[/quote]

No English support that I could tell. I only played it for a few minutes and really had no idea on what the controls were. Everything was Japanese so I couldn't tell what the dialogue was, so not too clear on the story. After a few cutscenes, you basically just go into a building and find yourself in this big room and have to beat up 20-or so guys. After you beat up on the boss of the group enough, he pulls out a sword and things got tough for me after that.

If I knew exactly what the controls did it probably would have been a better experience for me, otherwise I was just mashing buttons and whuppin up some thugs.

Don't know if there's more to the demo after that fight, cause the boss kicked my ass. I'll try it again later and see if I can beat him.

I mean, the new characters suck, the art style sucks, the gameplay not feeling like 2 or 3 sucks, but you still want to jump on to get more achievements? Help me wrap my head around that, homie!
I know you get really upset and heated in stuff like this, but refrain from being a meanie head please!
 
[quote name='tiredfornow']Help me wrap my head around that, homie! [/quote]

"Other than trying it over Live, which I haven't done yet, I think I'm done with it."

Maybe it's like the single player is the demo and the multiplayer is the real game. I figured I should try the fighter online/against other people before I sell it. If I get a few cheeses in the process... :whee: If giving the multiplayer a chance changes my mind about the game... so be it, I keep my copy and play online. If not, I'll make $$ on it and wait for Tekken 6.

I had a different ending, I think there's 4 endings to it.
 
Yakuza demo is ALL japanese.

So have fun figuring it out! :)

I beat up the guys in the club, pulled out my nunchucks and giant stick for the 'boss'.
Ran around outside, got into a couple street fights. Pulled off some cool moves somehow, like slamming a guy into his buddy on the floor.
Went to a convenience store, looked at magazines with some school girls.

Went to Club Sega and played some games (2.5D shooter, UFO catcher, and trivia game, VF5 is unplayable :( ), decided to visit a hostess club, didn't go well.

Then fought some Americans who didn't speak Japanese with a bicycle.
Apparently you can do karaoke, but I missed that.

I was a bit underwhelmed by the graphics for the enviroments when moving around. The cutscenes look fantastic though.
 
Oh, that's right. It's a trade-off. Cornrows look 2-dimensional, like they were designed behind the artists who do hair in "Smackdown vs. Raw."

Hotpants, on the other hand, look good.

EDIT: Huh, 38/40 from Famitsu. If you're the kind of person who cares about what that means.
 
Degenki also get it very high marks.
I think a quote from one of the guys was the game was a "gift from the God of fun". :)

I wish I could import, but I would hate playing with a guide to understand the story.

Yep, I tried playing with a guide for a couple games in the PS1 era, and while you can totally do that and finish the game, it really sucks away any enjoyment you might've gotten out of the game.
