[quote name='dallow']30 hours for everything it seems, he mentions he got the Platinum trophy.[/quote]

Yeah, he says "It took me about 25 hours to go through both storylines, but I've put in a total of 30 hours searching for Blast Shards and my Platinum Trophy. All that, and this still isn't old."

So to play the story once, it would probably only be 12-15 hours.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']With these "graphic novel" cut scenes, maybe the 30 hours depends on your level of reading comprehension. :)[/quote]
What reading? They're narrated cutscenes with comic-style art in them.
 
[quote name='manthing']30 hours of playtime?

Color me skeptical[/quote]

All the side missions and he might've just puttering around. I'm doing that with Just Cause right now. I'm at the last mission but I'm getting the last few races, side missions and achievements done so I can just put it away when it's all over.

Don't forget the fun factor for some sandbox games. I've noticed that I've played 20 mins and not done a damn thing the whole time. By the time, I get to a mission or race, it's been 25-30 mins. I was having a blast but not really advancing the story line.
 
[quote name='manthing']Is the inFAMOUS demo shareable?[/quote]YES, DALLOW_BG SHARED HIS WITH ME AND SOLD ME ON THE PURCHASE! :WHEE: :WHEE:
 
[quote name='zewone']Mangthang, you got an infamous code? If so, hook it up with a share. I want to see if this game is worth purchasing.[/quote]

[quote name='gunm']I'm sold on inFamous already.[/quote]


Me too. I preordered today. :)
 
Played the 360's Lair, Too Human, for 4 hours yesterday with a friend.

To be honest, despite the generic world and graphics and samey enemies , it's kinda fun.
Good loot game.
 
Too Human isn't that bad. Especially if you're playing co-op.

If they would have kept four player co-op, I think it would have got a lost less flack.
 
Yeah, I'd think I'd get a little bored alone.
4 player would have been really nice. 3 even.

Was there a reason why it was cut?
All in all, it's worth a playthrough for me.
 
Cool.
I think I'll put my lowball up once the guy selling his DS Lite has ended.
So on the 18th, look for a crazy ass lowball sale!
Expect lots of DS stuff, lots of PSP stuff and maybe some tv series/dvds.

Anybody have a prediction on what the first 6 seasons of 24 would fetch?

I think it was just the team who couldn't pull it off.
 
I thought about having a lowball sale myself. Just to get rid of some things I don't know of there worth or just to avoid EBay's fees and potential non-payers/scammers.
 
Isn't the way to setup demo accounts for everyone just to setup a dummy PSN account and use the code on that account then hand the tag/code to trusted people and have them download it? I mean...the 5 system download rule only applies to pay items, right?

Beat Klonoa. Good game, especially for $30. A surprising amount of effort put into it, too. Most Wii games don't have this much effort put into it (and I'm not kidding). Although the last couple of levels ticked me off a bit.
 
went to target to pick up mirrors edge(360) and there were none in stock
though i checked out the pc clearance and picked up company of heroes gold instead for $7.48
 
Since I'm back for the summer and haven't been around in a while can someone explain what a lowball sale is?

I have this stuff to sell for myself.

And again does anyone know of any games that use the RE4 style inventory system? Preferably on 360 but you can really tell me any game.

[quote name='heavyd853']re5[/QUOTE]
1. You fail at being a smart ass. 2. Wrong. In RE4 you have a case where you can store things and you can buy larger cases to store more things. In RE5 you always have 9 blocks and everything only takes up one block. I think I've seen a screenshot of STALKER and I think it might have an inventory like RE4.
 
best buy must really want ppl to buy ufc 2009 from them
$10 gc+free $15 or less ufc dvd+$10 in ppv money is pretty nice deal for a game at launch
 
What's the deal with preordering games from Gamestop and canceling your preorder? I want to try out the Fight Night Round 4 demo because preorders can get a voucher now to download it but the general public has to wait until the 22nd I believe.
 
[quote name='dallow']Wait, they remade Red and Blue?! I must be out of the loop or something.

And yeah, playing through the Namco thing. Send me a FR so I can check your progress.[/QUOTE]

Yeah , Fire Red/Leaf Green from about 2/3 years ago. Came out between Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald.

Friend Request sent.

[quote name='nyprimus4']Since I'm back for the summer and haven't been around in a while can someone explain what a lowball sale is?[/QUOTE]

Basically it works just like an ebay auction. You put up a bunch of items , usually with no preset price , and everybody bids on them in predetermined increments (usually about .50 cents or $1). You let it run for a specific amount of time (however much you want 3 days , a week , whatever) , and when its over whoever has the highest bid wins the item and pays the amount they bid plus shipping (usually a preset amount as well).

That's the basic idea at least. Plenty of people have done them (myself included) , and you can always ask dv8mad , who's the most informed about it.

You basically leave $5 kicking around in their system until there's a game you want $5 off of.

Pre-order a game. Don't like it? Forget to pick it up. Go in a few days later or so and move your pre-order to the next game you're interested in. You always keep the pre-order bonus, but you can't get your $5 back, only move it to a new pre-order. Make sense?

I guess I can put it on Madden since I'm picking that up anyway.

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']I still think download w/ demo is a bad business plan... demo for everyone seems to get the word out better... might just be a matter of opinion vs. statistics.[/QUOTE]

I think it's a bad plan, too. But I'm guessing Sony sees something in it that we don't.

I really hope the next DLC plans for Fable II has more replay value than STF. KI has a tiny bit more replay value since it has a town you can interact in while STF has...a battle arena which I have everything from, achievements included. I'd honestly want a $10 million house.
 
[quote name='KingBroly']I'd honestly want a $10 million house.[/QUOTE]

Sounds like more DLC for you to buy later, along with the new dog outfits and pretty-but-useless weapons and horse armor. :p

So Sacred 2 has been getting good reviews so far? I loves me some action RPGs, and action co-op RPGs sound like a good time...hmm......

I honestly wish the next DLC involved more quests in the current world instead of just creating a new area. I mean...See the Future is just
Wraithmarsh un-terrorized
so they're sorta halfway there already with this one.

I also hope they fix the Colosseum and Expression statue glitches, for crying out loud.
 
More Mac questioning.

So, is iWork, like, the equivalent of MS Office? How different is it? If I've pretty much exclusively used MS Office, is it worth just getting MS Office for Mac?

I would say Sacred 2 get it on 360 and play with me
 
OT, but if you're used to the MS Office environment, then iWork won't cut it. There's no excel equivalent built-in. I dunno, I don't like it personally.

Back OT, I'm tempted to get See the Future, but it sounds like I should wait a little bit.

Still have Broken Steel to finish.

I liked Climax's work on LandStalker, but they haven't really done anything even matching that effort. I was a little excited about Steel Princess when I first heard of it, but I don't think I'm going to like the linear, "one solution only"/"trial-and-error" puzzle-play of that game.
 
English White Knight story trailer out.

Erm, so many games I want right now. And I'm starting to realize I'm broke. I wish there was a site for cheap ass' like me. Infamous, Uncharted 2, White Knight Story.... ahh.
 
You should start up www.CheapAssMentallyChallengedKids.com , DarkNessBear.[quote name='nyprimus4']What's the deal with preordering games from Gamestop and canceling your preorder?

You're not tied to the game and you can get your money back at any time you wish. You can pre-order a game, get your bonus, go back in the next couple of days and cancel. Reason they probably told you that is because the employees need preorders and hate losing 'em.

Yeah, it is basically equivalent. this:

[quote name='gunm']OT, but if you're used to the MS Office environment, then iWork won't cut it. There's no excel equivalent built-in. I dunno, I don't like it personally.
[/QUOTE]


is not entirely true. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote all have export/import functions with MS Office files. Numbers is the Excel equivalent that gunm missed, unless there's some incompatibility I missed out on. I used Pages and Keynote for my last semester in undergrad and never ran into a problem sharing/exchanging with Windows people.

if you're taking notes with it, you'll get used to all the hotkeys and shortcuts with Pages fast. Keynote is very intuitive and has great templates and design options. I haven't had a whole lot of experience with numbers. Can't really compare it to MS Office on a detailed level, as they both worked fine for me. It was easy to slip into iWork, since they are similar in organization. There were less differences than I imagined...
