Finally made it to Bioshock in my backlog. Amazed at the story/atmosphere thus far, the guns not so much. They look cool enough but lack force. Just made it to the mid-game mindfuck part at Hesphaestus
 
GGT list so far(if theres more than 7 i guess i'll add another team)

XBL/Capcom
Nelo Ice/NeloIce
Violent Usagi/gunm(based on ur tag under ur name it looks like u mixed up ur capcom/xbl tag in ur op?)
Rei no Ai/Rei_no_Otaku
 
Pretty close to the end of Saints Row 2. I've got like 36 of the Neighborhoods, and like 43 missions completed. I'm mopping up a few strongholds, and then I'll have the last set of missions unlocked.

The only thing I don't like about the game is the strongholds. They're not nearly as fun as the real missions, and it sucks that they're mandatory. It also sucks that it takes respect to do them.

I'm at like 22 hours in less than two weeks of owning it. Haven't been this sucked into a game since Fallout 3.

It's most certainly the best GTA style game out there.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']I hope the new dead to rights is as fun as the first tow original ones.

they weren't amazing games, but they were always a blast to play.[/quote]

Yea, I enjoyed the first Dead to Rights very much. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing in the world, due to the large amount of disarms you could do. Hopefully they keep that aspect intact.

^Hopefully that is VERY early footage. Cause it looks like complete crap as of now... Why even show it if it is that early?
 
It's becoming increasingly apparent to me why some people hate Banjo-Tooie. I'm close to joining them. The game is just so confusing after a while. World 1 you're fine, World 2 is okay, World 3 is better than 2, World 4 is sort of okay, but World 5...World 5. I'm completely lost.
 
I had a quick go on the Quake Wars game I picked up at BB for $10, it was ok but nothing special, I haven't tried it online yet but I wasn't that impressed.

It's ok for $10 though.

I think the next game I'm going to play through is Viking: Battle for Asgard
 
I like that one.
I did PixelJunk: Odyssey (and it's plural form) since it reminded me of the old B-movie adventure flicks.
Also Inferno, and Lagoon.
 
HEB was sold out of hand sanitizer and those little masks since Sunday, dallow (girlfriend works there). Since so many nacionales come shop downtown, all of the shop owners are wearing them and I passed a whole shitload of people at the mall with 'em on. :lol:

we're all going to dieeeeeee. :whee:
 
I've been fiending for XBLA games lately.. I just bought Worms, been playing that and Super Puzzle Fighter II. I'm really needing to buy Rez, VOOT, and Outrun now, which I'll probably get 1 or 2 of tomorrow.

I kinda want one, I've always wanted an excuse to wear one on a day other than Halloween. :whistle2:#
 
[quote name='Inf^Shini']Yay, got SCIV for $7![/quote]


And where good sir did you find this deal?


I finished Mercenaries 2 last night. I was kind of disappointed by it. I loved the first game, but they made it way too hard to balance faction standing. The buggy-ness also didn't help.

Started Heavenly Sword. It really seems no more than a decent GoW clone. The aftertouch thing is both gimmicky as hell and annoying as hell. The three style system seems interesting enough though.

Also, the dialogue is laughably bad. The cutscenes make me feel like I'm watching a bad engrish kung fu movie.

PM'd the BB sale price at Sears + 10% off of the difference = around $7.60

All you need is the BB Sunday ad

Really? I thought the cutscenes were the best part of HS. I felt they were really well done. They need to let that Gollum guy direct more video games.
 
This fall is too far away.
Should have been a summer game.

[quote name='Rei no Otaku']The Kai levels were the best part of the game.[/quote]

That one Kai part sucked hard, though. The one where you had to shoot the enemies from attacking your father. That was terrible.

I didn't have any trouble with that part. Kind of liked it actually.

Allergies suck, and I hate the Spring. I feel like someone hit me in the head with a hammer, shoved cotton into my nose, and then filled my lungs with water...

I LOVED that part. Nailing the enemy in the leg then in the head, crotch, arm, or chest was pretty awesome :twisted:
 
Horray!! Finally beat GTAIV. Now I can start Saint's Row 2.

I also am really wanting to play thru the Resident Evil series again. I'm gonna start a new game in RE Zero sometime this week.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Infamous pre-order just dropped to $53.99 on Amazon in case anyone cares.[/quote]

Thanks, my total came to $48.59 after the ECA discount.

And I agree with the people saying the Kai parts were the best parts in HS.
 
[quote name='zewone']Wait...

Monster Hunter for the Wii is pay to play?

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.[/quote]


it's always been that way when you play online in japan.

It was free in the US always as well.

You never knew? sounds like you don't play enough MH... or just not informed.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']Damn, Capcom must be making bank on MH in Japan then. It's so huge there.[/quote]


Think of how much bank BLizzard makes on WoW here, then apply that to Capcom in Japan. that'll give you a good picture of how it works.
 
I need a new game to play after I finish up Saints Row 2. I'm looking for anything that isn't an RPG, isn't more than 20 or 30 hours long, is good, and can be picked up for 10-30 bucks. Any recommendations?

EDIT:
PS3 or 360 only please.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Infamous pre-order just dropped to $53.99 on Amazon in case anyone cares.[/quote]
Nice, But still I'll stick with getting it from Gamestop since I'll get it sooner that way.

The only MH I've played is on PSP with no online.

So...does that mean it'll be free in the US?

You should work on your writing skills. It's hard to understand half the shit you type.

Yes, I do have shitty typing skills usually because I type too fast so I'm never surprised that people have a hard time understanding me :lol: (note this sentence is already hard to read)

as for MH in the US being free, it's hard to tell.

MH has always been free in the US, but now that Wii has pay to play on it, who knows.
