[quote name='Jimbo Slice']What the hell is wrong with everyone's 360s in here? Mine runs like a charm. I get, at the most, maybe 3 seconds of lag, but even that usually doesn't exist.

Only thing that takes a bit is if I go to the friends row, sometimes it takes about 10 seconds for everyone to show up, and that's probably because I have like 90 something "friends"[/QUOTE]

I don't have any problems with lag or anything of the sort. I just don't like the way it looks, the old interface was ten times better.
 
[quote name='seanr1221']Jimbo, how do you like BlazBlue?[/QUOTE]

It's okay.

It's absolutely beautiful, but the gameplay is too similar to Guilty Gear for my tastes. I was hoping the GG team would take a bit of a chance on this one, but they fell into familiar territory too often.

Of course, I've only sunk about an hour and a half into it, so this is all subject to change.

Unrelated: I was thinking, we are about halfway through the year right now. What is everyone's pick for 1/2 way GOTY? So far my choice would have to be
Red Faction: Guerilla (SF4 doesn't count since it was in arcades in '08)

Mine is
SFIV, it counts for me since it wasn't released on consoles until '09.

you told me yours was
:360:Star Ocean: The Last Hope
 
1/2 GotY for me, and I havent even played the full game yet, would be
Red Faction just because of how much of a damn surprise it was and just how it embraces the idea of just "fun" so well

The two runners up are Patapon 2 and Killzone 2. Patapon because, well, it speaks to me >_< ... and Killzone 2 because I finally found an FPS I have no complaints about and actually like the universe. It's also the first FPS I really really liked the Multiplayer on and actually came back to.

When the year is over though I can easily see Mass Effect 2 and Uncharted 2 be most people's GotY. I expect ME2 to be mine.
 
[quote name='distgfx']I tell you a lot of things.[/QUOTE]

like how you own every Playstation RPG?

or how the only fighter-like game your like is The Bouncer?

I hate you so much right now my anger cannot be expressed in words, oh wait, it can.

Gundam sucks.

As I was saying, if SFIV doesn't count, then I'll go with either infamous or red faction. Red faction was a total surprise for me.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']The Bouncer is better than people treat it.

It's repetitive, but it's a decent super polished beat-em-up.[/QUOTE]

i liked it ;)

The Bouncer wasn't a bad game. It just had a lot of potential that was never realized.

Played some BlazBlue tonight. I really like the game including all the weird shit (the tips section is interesting). So far I like Noel the best.
 
I was in a party with some CAGs tonight. They were all playing BlazBlue :( We get it here on Friday, and I've already pre-ordered in full.
Chacrana and Smallwind sounded like they were having a blast.
Can't wait!

I finally got back into Tales Of Vesperia and beat the boss I was having so much trouble with before
Overbreaker, the guy you fight after the desert
. Anybody know how much longer I have?
 
Hey Rei , you still around? Question about DW6 Empires , would you say it's a good/decent improvement over DW5 Empires? I mainly ask cause I know you've mentioned before that DW6 didn't seem very good compared to DW5.
 
About the NXE. I don't necassary have loading problems, only my friendslist. I have given up on the "avatar list", it literally takes over 5 minutes to load everyone. Insane. Hopefully the update will fix it up.

My GOT1/2Y would probably be
inFamous. Havent really played much NEW games this year so far.
But, Mass Effect is the true winner since I beat it this year and it is my favorite game of all time.

I actually recommend DW6 Empires. They added a lot more strategy elements to it. They've almost completely merged RotK and DW at this point. For example, you can play as a vagrant, officer or ruler now. So you can do mercenary work until you get powerful enough to take over a ruler's land, or just have a ruler hire you. I got myself hired by Sun Jian, worked my way up his ranks until I was given a chance to break away and form my own country. You can even switch sides during a battle, and perform a double cross. There a lot of options for the strategy phase.

My only complaint is the combat is dumbed down a bit from DW6. The renbu system is still there, but it's automatic now. It's determined by your weapon level. Small complaint though.

Two more thoughts from this:
1.Would you recommend DW6 Empires over the more recent RotK games then?
2.Would you recommend DW6 over DW5?

If you want a strategy game I'd still recommend RotK over DW6 Empires. There's still a lot more strategy in those games.

I'd recommend DW5 over DW6. There's just more game in DW5, but I'd recommend DW6 Empires over DW5 Empires.

Thanks , that info will prove useful.
 
After watching the new Co-Op I have to say I want to play call of juarez now... I had no interest to be honest till now.

I wish there'd me more western shooters... I hope Red Dead Redemption kicks so much ass... really.
 
[quote name='Scorch']E74.. XBox 360 #4 bites the dust. Bring on #5![/QUOTE]

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Just curious, but what were you doing when it gave you that error, or what were you doing prior? Not trying to make a connection here, just curious.

Wolverine

But thats probably just because I haven't gotten around to Red Faction yet.
 
I had a pretty good haul from BBV. I will now have lots of FNR4s.

Especially from the 'game concept store' that's around here.
I kinda want to go back and buy the rest of it.

HAPPY CANADA DAY :)

Also, what I should I ask for the Xenosaga Trilogy? All black label, opened, complete, and in pretty good condition...I got somebody asking.
 
I guess I'm poor, I haven't bought any games released this year besides SFIV which I traded. I'll nominate RFG though, I played the demos so so much.

@ihadFG - rly? All my friends tell me that is is repetitive and boring as hell

Well the game was too short to get repetitive for me. And I really don't understand how it could be considered "boring", just take a look at some gameplay videos. Ironically, the main reason it's my GOTY so far was because it never got boring.

Also, I loved the game for the dialogue and the announcers, plus the story was better than I expected it to be.
 
Still haven't finished ICO but getting there.
I played straight through from the windmill to the East Arena but now I'm stuck again. I opened the big door for the east reflector but now I'm stumped. There's handles on the thing like I can turn it but I can't do it by myself and Yorda won't help. Can't get in the other door to open the other reflector.

I just want my sword gosh darnit.

You don't need to turn the first Reflector. There should be a ladder near it that you can climb up and pull the lever

^ Dante's Inferno gameplay.
^ Animated Wolfenstein comic book.
^ Shameless 'Devil's Playground' tour.
[/QUOTE]
Dante's Inferno looked amazing at E3, I hope they show a bunch of footage. The combat by itself wasn't too impressive, but the whole concept and presentation is very cool. Watched a thirty minute demo of it and was impressed!
