Oh, the original Rhythm Heaven game from 06.
A shame you can only have one save file though, my lady friend won't play it now, though the cat and mouse game might change her mind.

I've been on a DS and GBA import shopping spree. Next up, Slitherlink for DS.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']If you're chuggin' through Quantum of Solace, jer, you ought to change yer user title to "C- or No Play."

Shit was so mediocre it coulda been spread on white toast and the toast would have been the exciting part.[/QUOTE]

For $5 on clearance, it's an okay time waster. It's not great, but not the worst. Being a James Bond fan bumps it past intolerable.

Which is too long of a phrase to fit into your user title, but you're not exactly defending the integrity of "AAA or No Play."

Maybe you could add an asterisk instead?

QoS was the worst James Bond movie since Never Say Never Again, so being a Bond game doesn't help here. It'd be like playing the Transformers game based on that movie. Did you play through that one, too?

I think you're my biggest fan. Thanks for paying such close attention to my posts!

But maybe not enough attention to understand the point, which is it isn't perfect but it was cheap and I'm having fun with it. Plus the PC version has separate achievements.

Now, fuck off.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']I really liked Indigo Prophecy (yes, even the ending) so I'm looking foward to Heavy Rain.[/QUOTE]

I like Indigo Prophecy a lot too.

It was just different, which made it fun. I have high hopes for Heavy Rain.

MAG though...idk.


Also Folklore is good too.
 
[quote name='manthing']Like you saying unproven IP from middling devs 'big, known games'? :roll:[/QUOTE]
I'm not hyped for them, I don't even own a PS3. But I do read other forums and I do go to other sites other than just CAG, so yeah, I see a lot of talk about these games and there is a huge hype for them out there by many people, even without an IP and without much information.
Which again, people will hype shit for no reason other than speculation.

[quote name='whoknows']I haven't really seen much about MAG, so I really have no opinion on it. Could be cool. Have to wait and see.[/QUOTE]
It's either gonig to suck or be amazing. 128 vs 128 could go either way, fast.
 
[quote name='manthing']Like you saying unproven IP from middling devs 'big, known games'? :roll:




Folklore fucking sucks. All the space available on a :br: disc and they can't put VO's on it? AND I have to press X to get through cutscenes? PLUS I get to play levels *TWICE* but with different people?

Folklore can go fuck itself. fucking waste of $10.




Thus officially proving your opinions smell worse than fresh dog shit.[/QUOTE]

So are you going to add that asterisk, or continue to lie in your user title?

He just enjoys pointing out hypocrisy and it's damned entertaining for me.
 
Now Rei, are you REALLY riding on a disco stick AT ALL TIMES? If not, what a hypocrite..

Anyway, past the kids' nonsense, I really like Raiden Fighters Aces too, the display options with different scanlines and such were really impressive.

I picked up Civ 4 complete, It seemed like a real good deal.
 
[quote name='dallow']As of last night you only had one cheese for Raiden.The most basic one.

Oh shit!!
Tatsunoko vs Capcom being localized!!!!![/QUOTE]


pretty cool. so is it really the hottest thing since sliced cheese or are people just hyped because it's an impressive feat of contracting by some lawyers who negotiated stakes between 10 different corporations? (i'm guessing the latter)
 
Yep haven't played raiden much yet. You definitely figured that out. Way to go.
 
I kind of want to play more of TvC.

I played the arcade version, but I had absolutely no clue what I was doing, and I didn't have much money to sit there and play it for a while. It seemed pretty cool though.
 
Hmmm Space Channel 5 eludes me. I have no idea if anything I'm doing is working. At least it plays though, the copy looks like hell.

[quote name='dallow']I just want to see if anyone is cut. There has to be.[/QUOTE]

If this ends up panning out , it gives me some slight renewed hope that other cross-over games involving non game companies might have a chance of making it over here (Jump Superstars comes to mind).

That is a really awkward question to ask in a gaming thread man... save it for craigs list.

Lot of rigorous testing you must have put that "new controller's" d-pad through in the first stage of Raiden to determine that it's super improved.

Screw that. Super Robot Wars!
 
[quote name='distgfx']He just enjoys pointing out hypocrisy and it's damned entertaining for me.[/QUOTE]

I recommend "AAA or No Play Unless It Comes In a Neon Green Box."

But perhaps that won't fit. I wouldn't know, as I'm staggeringly inebriated and listening to my upstairs neighbors sing along to the Spice Girls.

Which means, I hope to hell, they're incredibly more inebriated than I am.

EDIT: Miscellaneous Japanese Crap versus Capcom confirmed? I guess I'm supposed to be thrilled. So yay and stuff. I can't wait to be one of the 43,000 people to own this game.

Good enough to have moved left, right, down, and up and have it work, reliably.

I'm not sure what else i should have been looking for in a working d-pad?

And wow myke. You're not. Smart.
 
[quote name='dallow']I just want to see if anyone is cut. There has to be.[/QUOTE]


yeah, cut characters, replaced ones...should be interesting.

Capcom is setting themselves up for failure on the Wii again though. I, admittedly, have been a wishy-washy, on and off anime watcher for a few years and this game was the first time I had heard of Tatsunoko. It doesn't quite catch the eye like...say...marvel vs. capcom. I can't imagine it selling well at all.

if i ever get another wii, I'll def pick it up though.

Never heard of Gatchaman or Cashern?

I love that game so much. My favorite music/rhythm game.

I sucked at first, but once you get the timing down it's awesome.
 
[quote name='Flak']Hmmm Space Channel 5 eludes me. I have no idea if anything I'm doing is working. At least it plays though, the copy looks like hell.[/QUOTE]


you playing part 1 or 2?

part one is so hard to know if you're doing good... part 2 is alot more together and IMHO more fun.
 
I played Part 1 so much, that I could easily get through it with rarely missing anything. Part 2 I suck at. The timing is just different :p

I still love them both though.
 
yeah, definitely very different. I got halfway in part 1. part 1 is very hard IMHO, and part 2 is more forgiving.

genna play a bit of valkyrie chronicles... been focusing on maxing most of the classes.
 
so i just got a cag award for using the collection system and apparently i've had one for visting wombats page..since when did the achievement system go active?!

That's Dr. Myke to you, MANG.

Hey Myke, when you're in Philly, you still buying me that beer? :wave:
 
Beat Metal Gear Solid TTS. Now its on to MGS2, which I have yet to ever play.

I picked up a new/sealed :ps3:Bioshock for $15 at a flea market, so I also started that last night. I really liked the demo and have been waiting for a good deal to pick it up. So far I'm really enjoying it.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Never heard of Gatchaman or Cashern?[/QUOTE]


Gatchaman rings a bell...maybe that says more about my anime knowledge than the obscurity...

you bet. 6 weekends from now.

mang.
 
I don't get why Tatsunoko vs. Capcom was seen as such a legal nightmare. I don't think any American companies really give a shit about the game rights to Gatchaman, or the other properties that no one's heard of.

What the hell is that game, anyways?
 
I'm almost done Devil May Cry 4 on the 360, and I'm remembering why I like the game so much...except the Lightning guy. I still don't know a good way to beat him. Definitely better than Ninja Gaiden 2 overall.
 
The first time I tried to play Mass Effect I got as far as finding that beacon and I kinda got bored with it and stopped playing. I just started it up again today (new career) and the hooks are in me this time. I think I've spent a solid 2 hours just talking to all the people in the citadel I can and reading all the logs.
