if I buy a used copy of Call of Duty 4, can I still buy the extra maps that come with the Game of the Year edition??

or are those exclusive only to ppl who buy a new copy??

I miss you GGT....

People are actually buying the themes? Aren't they just backgrounds? Look, the Miis are embarrassed.

well now they have friend backgrounds which look fucking cool :lol:
 
I don't really see anything on that list I want on the marketplace. I think I'll wait and see what games amazon has deals on during BF. I also just ordered a few things from the rightstuf sale...
 
fuck if u guys already downloaded hope runs deep or the bare your teeth theme then delete them and redownload them off ur purchase history and you'll get the premium versions instead!

yea, RS raped my wallet
 
I'm glad I'm not that into Anime because those RS deals look like good deals.

And my wallet would cry. >_>

I'm gonna be home alone all break (until Tuesday) after tomorrow. With no car.

Fallout 3 and Rock Band marathons I guess.
 
Wow. 808's and Heartbreak by Kanye West is great. Really.
Finally made some progression in Fable 2. Love that game.
I also played SF2HD at got obliterated by Jim Foley and Zero Game.

I didn't get that much. I'm waiting for another Bandai sale to go nuts on anime(I figure we'll see one around the time Lucky Star/Gundam 00 is released). I just ordered some hentai since you don't really see many sales on that. But I might order some more if I don't see any BF game deals that catch my eye.

Really? That's quite interesting, actually. I didn't know that. And I agree that some DLC needs PERMANENT price cuts, especially for titles you can no longer get new.

I'm a glutton for punishment it seems...I rented Sonic Unleashed (360 version).

The Sonic levels (although being bad at them personally) are a bit of fun. There is one problem I have with them however, and that's the 2d parts. They need to pull the camera back a lot more or give indications of what is coming up because I died quite a few times on a jump in the 3rd Sonic stage because it was zoomed in too much and I didn't know what was coming.

As for the Werehog stages...um...yeah...For the first 9/10 of the first stage, it's okay. After that...it really gets bad.
 
[quote name='gunm']Does the XBL sale continue past BF? I think I'm going to miss it. :p[/quote]

Oh, ok. I may just pick it up online then.
 
Hey Rei , thought I mention that Penny Arcade brought up The Last Remnant again.

http://www.penny-arcade.com/2008/11/26/memoriam/

[quote name='Penny Arcade - Tycho']I love reading reviews for The Last Remnant, because unlike most "big titles" there's no established Narrative. Everyone approaches the product in their own way, which makes the resultant dialogue actually resemble what the medium deserves. I tend to resonate closely with Gametrailers reviews, even though their authorship is never established. The entity behind them has a well of forgiveness for games that have great ideas but sometimes obscure them, which perfectly describes their assessment of the game.
The Last Remnant
For dark, muttering ruminations on the same topic, let me direct you toward the 1up review. We need both of these perspectives, desperately, and we rarely get them. As for me, my well of forgiveness is not quite as deep as that of Mr. Gametrailers. I'll play broken games, I'll play games the community has to fix itself, I'll play "games that don't really exist in the product as such but are instead interpretations of oddities in the lore or mechanics," but I won't endure a game that runs like this. I'm still going to play it, though: the Unreal Engine that gave SquareEnix so much trouble on the Xbox allows them to deliver it on the PC, and at a time less crowded than this grim and unrelenting season.[/quote]

Thought I'd bring it up since they , along with a bunch of other people , aren't really hating on the game itself , but more of the technical issues of it.
 
The slowdown and the loading screens are the only problem I have with the game, and both of those are helped a lot by installing it onto the hard drive.
 
Can anyone give me a list of 360 exclusives coming out within next year or so? i need to justify keeping my 360. I mean, gears 2 was a letdown for me, and it looks like Mobile Ops isnt coming statside anymore so no reason for me to keep this thing. This is rly awkward since i never sold one of my systems before

[quote name='Mr. Anderson']So I'm in New Mexico for the holiday, visiting the family and such, and it turns out my grandpa decided to get a PS3.[/quote]

A PS3? Not a Wii?

Your grandpa just invalidated millions of dollars of Nintendo marketing.

Good for him! ;)
 
D-Pads in general just suck this generation.

The PS3 one is just barely better than the 360 one. That mushy, hand cramping garbage is at least as bad as the 360's inaccurate pad.

Saturn D-Pad or nothing.

agreed, but I'm too poor ATM to afford anything...

in the mean time this man is genna die:

The stock 360 (and even PS3) analog pads weren't meant for 2D fighters.

ReRo, I found my Hori EX for $30 @GS a while ago.
 
They're charging $50 for them now.. I wish I would have kept the one I got at that price for Soul Calibur 4. I will actually be playing SF2THDR unlike SC4.

I think I can chuff it out with the regular D-Pad until those new pads come out with Street Fighter 4. I like good pads more than good sticks anyway.

It's funny to think they jammed the original Xbox into that cabinet. And it was overheating like mad. But those original Xbox demos were actually running on that huge X shaped thing.. just barely.

Yeah I read that book about making the original Xbox, so what?

Also:

Yo ass will make yo shit yo meal.

NINJAS BE ALL UP IN MY MUG

BUT IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY WHEN THE MOTHERfuckER'S COUGHIN UP BLOOD

Ima put a hole in yo head, the size of a half a dolla'
 
you really just have to turn your brain off to it and just play. It's not going to be as precise as you like no matter what.

Nobody will be doing Guile's super with that D-Pad. They should make it an achievement to pull off Guile's super in the xbox version, as a joke.

I play Chun Li anyways so not many sweeping or diagonal motions needed, since her fireball is a charge move in ST, and so is everything else.

out of all games I play I can't shut my brain off for a balanced fighter... mind games are crucial to my enjoyment, and if my character dosn't do what I want him to do then, fuck it.
 
Well not to the game but just the pad. Focusing on the pad is just gonna make the problem worse.

Those madcatz 360 pads are a nice cheap alternative. They have a wii style 1 piece raised dpad. I used that for vf5 and umk3 and had no major problem.
 
XD just had a blast on SFIIHD with a fellow CAG. 2 double KOs within 10 games XD. This was my first PSN purchase, and what a badass one it was! I love this game!
 
I'm loving SSF2T HD Remix 360. Gotta use the analog stick though. And I actually like the PS3's pad for fighters. Call me crazy, or maybe my thumb is just used to it since I've been using it since PS1 launch day.

I can do Guile's super on the analog stick, at least. Both commands. :cool:

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, everyone. :)
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']get more PSN games... I find most PSN titles beat the crap out of 360 arcade games.[/QUOTE]

hell yea! i wanna get Fat Princess!
 
[quote name='Chibi_Kaji']Giant robots don't get much better than Nu Gundam.[/QUOTE]
They really don't. There's more powerful ones no doubt, but when it comes to pure awesome almost nothing beats the Nu Gundam.
 
[quote name='ninja dog']Some of those PSN games look interesting...though besides SSHD, they seem to be games with cool art design, but not much else.[/quote]

Basically.
