I wouldn't pay $30 (or whatever they're charging) to play a game easier
bought a Fightpad to play SFIV
. If you don't have a DS, I have to wonder why because the DS has the best games on it, especially RPG's.
 
The best RPGs are on DS? I could have sworn I played Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Oblivion, Valkyria Chronicles and Tales of Vesperia on consoles.

I always hear the DS has great RPGs, but I've yet to find them.
 
It definitely has good RPGs. I'm really enjoying Super Robot Taisen OG Frontier right now, but A LOT of people throw out the "best RPGs are on the DS" claim. Just wondering where that comes from.
 
[quote name='depascal22']The first is one of my favorite games on the Triple. My only complaint is the very end but I don't think anyone liked what they did for the last hour.[/QUOTE]

I loved every second of that game.

Most games have those points where it feels like a chore to get through, but for me Uncharted was all fun.
 
So how about that Perfect Dark? 60FPS(smooth? I hope) and 1080p

Free theme on the Marketplace.

[quote name='dallow']Probably comes from all the classic Square Enix RPGs on the DS.

:waits patiently for FF VI remake:[/QUOTE]

The World Ends with You says hi. It does a lot of unique stuff that isn't in a lot of RPG's. Tales of Vesperia might be good, but it can't hold a candle to TWEWY story-wise, same with Mass Effect since it's a buggy technical mess on 360, same with Fallout and Oblivion.

Speaking of RPG's, I saw the FFXIII demo on G4. That game looks really hard because I swore I saw a party of 3 characters (1 player controlled, 2 CPU controlled) and even though the player controlled character was downed, the 2 CPU characters were still up, and it went to a Game Over screen.

I liked TWEWY and I'm sorry but the story in that game sucks ass. Neku whined and emoed his entire way through that game. No way in hell is it superior to ToV and most definitely not Mass Effect.

You named one RPG you think (and it isn't) is amazing. One RPG makes the DS the home for all great RPGs?
 
I still think the better traditional RPGs are on the portables, while the non traditional good ones are on consoles.

PSP has really an insane number of traditional RPGs, and quite a few are pretty good, but not all great.

Low standards, I think.
 
until Persona PSP comes out

edit: waitaminute, wat? Valkyrie Profile, direct port of Disgaea, Crisis Core, Jeanne D'Arc, Phantasy Star Portable, FF Tactics, and I guess Monster Hunter, along with others....that all pretty much blows away the DS line up. besides Chrono Trigger, of course.
 
JRPGS: the DS, PSP, and 360 each have a couple good ones. The thing is, PS2 has a lot more high quality ones, so claiming that DS has "the most" sounds stupid.
 
Both portables have lotsa good RPG options.

Sleep mode on PSP is awesome.

Play a couple minutes of, say, FFVII on the shitter, put to sleep, lather, rinse, repeat.

Now, of course, if that's the only time you play, it's going to take AGES to beat a 40-50 hour game. But that's another topic for another day. :lol:
 
I just tried it out, and at 9:30 on a Friday morning, I can download from the PSN at 1MB/sec. So, 13x faster than that Logitech thing downloads from XBLM :lol:

how are you clocking the speeds on the consoles?

Yeah, the DS has a sleep mode too, so both are great for that.
 
I hated the PSP sleep mode cause I always thought I turned it off, but then I'd pick the PSP up a day or two later to see it was out of battery. :|

I agree with zew0ne though.. portable RPGs are "gheeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy".
 
Best Scribblenauts story:

I had played all the big titles at E3. Private showings of God of War III, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake. But at 4:00 on Thursday, I was wondering around the show floor, wondering what else I had to see. I saw a small little booth for "Scribblenauts!" in the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment section. I mean, who goes to that booth? But I remember hearing about it on GAF, and so I decided to check it out.

Best game of E3? Without a fucking doubt. Anyone who says otherwise did not play Scribblenauts. Best game of all time? Jesus Christ, I don't know, maybe. It's a game that challenges your IMAGINATION. No other game has ever done that.

So listen to this story. I was in the early levels; I didn't quite have an idea of how ridiculously in-depth the database was. I was summoning things like ladders, glasses of water, rayguns, what have you. But I reached a level with zombie robots, and the zombie robots kept killing me. Rayguns didn't work, a torch didn't work, a pickaxe didn't work. In my frustration, I wrote in "Time Machine". And one popped up. What the fuck? A smile dawned on my face. I hopped in, and the option was given to me to either travel to the past or the future. I chose past. When I hopped out, there were fucking dinosaurs walking around. I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a fucking DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the shit out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I fuckING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERfuckING ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. Impossible. There's nothing you can't do.

Holy fucking shit.

Good story. But you can't summon Obama(llamaduck). So there is SOMETHING you can't do. :)
 
[quote name='manthing']When does that come out again?[/QUOTE]
They just say this Fall.

220 levels according to the dev, (NP says 280)
level creator
online level sharing
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']did you check your ports, like i mentioned earlier?

Not yet. I started looking around about which ports to open, but I found a MS KB article saying you only have to open ports if you get a yellow ! during your connection test. I'm clocking by counting how long it takes to go up 1%, and doing the math.
 
ManaKnight would jump behind this and say you needa open your ports and all this garbage, but I have all of the necessary ports for both systems open and I still get shitty speeds on PSN. Not a big deal because my console of choice is the 360, but no low power downloading on the PSN really stinks. Not really interested in a new console just to have it be a bit more quiet, but my 60gb turns my room into a dang sauna after 20-30 minutes of it being on. :[
 
Ok, im a little bit slow but I was rewatching the conferences this morning.

What the hell is this guy doing on that damn pad? Playing sudoku? Drawing concept art? The entire time I could not take my eyes off the pad.

What I don't get is isn't what Kaz saying scripted and on a teleprompter? Why does the guy have to translate on the fly? Why wouldnt he just have the English words on a teleprompter?

Also - if that Scribblenauts game is really that comprehensive it'll be fucking amazing. But I just can't wrap my head around that. I could see maybe if it were a pc game ... but DS?
 
Maybe the teleprompter can't do Japanese? Maybe he's a rebel and refuses to learn a script? Maybe the audience would like to hear what Kaz is saying in English? Maybe you're asking too many questions? *calls the question police*

Why not? They've made DS games primarily and the text portion of the game fits perfectly with what the DS can do.

How shitty? PSN was pretty bad for me back when I was on DSL.
 
I call upon the GGT to aid me in my quest for a PS2. I'm in talks to buy a fat PS2 + controllers and memory card for $60, but I'm not so sure I want to jump on it. Mostly I'm concerned that it won't play ICO which I know doesn't read properly on older models. The PS2 is in really good condition, no problems with the laser or anything, but I really want to be able to play ICO on this thing. Should I do it?
 
I really feel like my PSN download speeds are really slow, whereas my XBL speeds are pretty good. It is really obnoxious that PSN can use a huge variety of ports though, if you look on the website, because certain games use certain ports blah blah.

Not that I don't love my PS3 mind you.
 
[quote name='dallow']That's not his problem though, his problem is that he gets shitty speeds on 360 whereas his PSN speeds are quick.[/QUOTE]..I know? I'm just stating my problem. :^|

[quote name='pete5883']How shitty? PSN was pretty bad for me back when I was on DSL.[/QUOTE]I put all of the episodes of Siren to download on Monday and I'm barely on Episode 8 after 12-8am every night of leaving it on. 7-8gb in 32 hours? Give me a break. :^|

I usually download 7gb in 3 hours on my computer(5.4mbps/730kbps), and gig demos on Live in about 20-30 minutes. I've pretty much tried everything and the only time I can get a steady connection is when I go directly from modem -> PS3 and I don't like moving my entire desk just to switch every time.
