Just rented Wolverine, and it's amazing how fun it is. It feels like a shorter God of War. I played it for about 8 hours yesterday, and I should be done with the story today. After that, the rest of the trophies should be easy.
 
Oops, calling Demon's Soul a hack n slash is not really accurate. Sorry, I avoided the King's Field series, so I'm not familiar with what it really is beyond what others have said. I guess it's more of a...tactical action RPG? No checkpoints, grinding for small rewards/level ups, and an EverQuest-like death system are off-putting (along with the MMO-style online griefing), but the ability to switch back and forth between different styles of play on the fly and the co-op possibilities do sound intriguing.

This eurogamer review is very well detailed:

[quote name='dallow']SNES right?

You have to beat it twice?!

I made it to the last level once as a kid, and I owned that game.[/QUOTE]

Yeah the SNES version (I'm pretty sure it was re-released on GBA, but I don't know if anything was different.)

and yeah, you have to beat it twice haha... even harder the second time. I still had 9 credits in stock when I shut the game off.

Someday........
 
Speaking of Super Ghouls and Ghosts, I remember it being rated for XBLA and PSN like a year or two ago. I wonder what ever happened to that?

Just read up on the GBA version, and apparently it had a bunch of extra stages not found in the SNES version. Would love to have that version come out on XBLA / PSN.

Thanks Atlus for publishing!

Experience the game Eurogamer.net awarded 9 out of 10, hailing it as "absolutely compelling; dark, detailed, unforgiving, creatively cruel," and adding, "you can learn to love Demon's Souls like few other games in the world."[/QUOTE]


Yeah, the game is fucking hard. Like monster hunter fucking dick face suck it hard. I knew some publisher was going to pick it up but never confirmed who. That's why I was weary of people picking it up already.

I'll just say it's a bitch. I had the GBA version and got far in it but just caved in and gave up. Basically you grow an extra testicle if you can 100% it.
 
[quote name='Jimbo Slice']Sounds interesting to me... I'm always up for a challenge.

Speaking of a challenge, last night I tried to beat Super Ghouls and Ghost. I got through the 1st run-through no problem (if you're not familiar with the game, you have to complete it twice. When you finish all of the levels the first time, it will return you to the beginning of the game and make you repeat them, on an even harder difficulty.)

The second run-through, I hit a huge snag at the 7 (& final) level. By this time it was 4 something in the morning and I was tired from a night of drinking beer, so I gave up after about 40 minutes. It was just too difficult to beat the level with the goddess weapon (a special weapon that you have to have in order to beat the last boss, otherwise you have to restart the stage.)

Great game though.[/QUOTE]


I remember having that as a kid. Game was hard as fuck. My brother and I never got past the 1st boss. (give me a break, I was 5 at the time).
 
I'm totally entralled with Bioshock. Such a great game.

I do have a couple questions for the GGT:

1. Should I harvest or release the Little Sisters? I've been releasing them.

2. About how long does it take to complete the game?

3. Right now I'm looking for some ingredients to make some kinda invention to heal the plants or something, so about how far along am I?

yeaa! *prays for some Boin Lecture :br:*

cant wait to get the LE box
 
As much as I love 2D games, I wish most of the cool looking Japanese ones weren't filled with such stupid anime girls and unsubtle titillation. When I was in middle school, yeah, this would have been a dream game. Oh well, what can you do?

fucking sweet!! Now I don't have to pay extra to import. I wonder what if any changes Atlus will make to the game.
 
[quote name='refusedchaos']1)yeaa! *prays for some Boin Lecture :br:*[/QUOTE]
I want something with Futa in it first!

I forgot all about the Queens Blade game. But I'm not paying 60$ for fanservice on the PSP...

I do believe the game will be in english this time

:booty:
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']demon souls won't b changed at all even in language probably... why? the chinese version is fully english already from what i know.[/QUOTE]
Engrish, not english ;)

I kid I kid
 
I guess I thinking about the difficulty of the game, I knew that the one or more of the versions of the game were in English. Or if Atlus would add anything new to the game.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']I don't know what I should play next! :whee:

From what I can remember in the queue:

Silent Hill/Mass Effect/Raiden Fighter Aces/Bully/Lego Star Wars/Riddick[/QUOTE]

Raiden Fighters Aces, definitely. But if you're in the mood for horror, and assuming that is the original SH there, then go for that. That game is all kinds of fucking awesome.

[quote name='Krymner']1. Should I harvest or release the Little Sisters? I've been releasing them.[/QUOTE]

The point of the choice is to make it yourself :whistle2:s

There's really not too much difference. If you're going for 1000g in one run (assuming it's 360) then rescuing them is the way to go I think. Though the add-on will still allow a 1000g harvest run if I remember.
 
Probably asking for ending purposes, in which case harvesting them gives you the super-shitty ending whereas saving them gives you a less-shitty-but-shitty ending.
 
7 hours since the last post?

No way, space nerd! :p

After playing LO for so long, I don't want another RPG at the moment -- so it was kind of a long shot to start with. Sorry. ;)

How much time did you put into LO? I *might* start it soon. I Want to know what I'm getting myself into.
 
Yeah Rei take some pics for us. S'pecially of the hot chicks in cosplay. ;) Have fun!

I'm gonna dive into some more Bioshock today. Who cares about the ending, I'm having a bunch of fun exploring this underwater world.

That doesn't mean they won't. I was reading a blog post from one of the translators working on Crimson Gem Saga and they talked about the decision to translate the game even though the game already featured a English translation.
 
Ohhh Red Faction MP demo available today.

EDIT: Rei - I went ahead and ordered the RahXephon Complete Set from Buy.com. It was $52.99 .. the best price I could find. Unfortunately it only appears to be available in fool screen. :cry:

So one of my non gamer friends walks into school today with a brand new DSi and Pokemon that he got for his birthday and my other friend who is more of a gamer and I started talking about PSP (he has one) and I'm thinking about getting one. Especially if I end up going to CUNY Hunter and I'm going to commute everyday. I have an iPod Touch but it's lacking in the game department. iTouch is awesome for music and watching movies and TV shows though.

Note: I've owned a DS Lite before and I ended up selling it but I've always kind of wanted a PSP. And PSP has MLB 09: The Show while the Xbox 360 has yet to put out a quality baseball game since its release in 2005, among other good games.
 
I forgot who said it, but does the 360 LE Red controller really have a better d-pad than the black/white ones?

I was planning on picking up an extra controller and if it has a better d-pad, I'll take that.
 
Anyone know how to change their PSN name?

and whe is the inFamous demo gonna drop, been waitin to play that. I know it's supposed to be sometime today.
 
INfamous demo drops today with the update. Usually around 4pm pst.
Popped in Ratchet and Clank FTOD last night and had a blast playing it again. Got me all pumped up for the sequel. Is Q4B worth it? I don't think I'd pay $15 but maybe if I could find someone to gameshare with it could be fun...

I'd throw up a few Paypal bucks for that..

You can't change your name. If you want a new name you have to make a whole new account.

I liked RahXephon, though I felt they could have handled much of it better.
