Holy shit, that's ridiculous tfn.
Shit! Damn, made out 5 times better than me.

I had to call 8 GSs to find one with the Valkyria Chronicles artbook. Didn't realize you don't pay tax if you buy with all credit.
 
[quote name='Mr. Anderson']I have Fallout 1 and 2 that I got from a trade here years ago. Great deal actually, it was my Karaoke Revolution w/ mic for her Fallout 1 and 2, Einhander for PS1, and Warcraft III. Doesn't get any better than that. :D[/QUOTE]
Doesn't KR go for a lot on ebay?

[quote name='tiredfornow']I made out with 700 Gamestopbucks after it was all said and done. Bought Motorstorm 2, Valkyria Chronicles, some points and ended up with 500 or so left. Only spent 100 bucks, too. :][/QUOTE]
Jesu christe. What are the good buys at HWV?
 
OMG yes. That is so freaking hawt with that Hollywood Video sale. There are two HWV's within a 5 minute vicinity of the Circuit City I'm going to tomorrow to pick up Gears 2 tomorrow with free 1600 point card, that is about 10 minutes from my house.

MVC2 and CC!! lets goooooooo.

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']so I get paid $11 an hour tomorrow to play gears 2 all day. not bad at all.[/quote]

Where the hell do you work!?
 
my college computer lab. nobody comes in on Fridays since the amount of students enrolled in visual arts is very small (under 100)and even smaller for the artists who actually use computers. each friday I bring my Wii, 360, PS3, or a movie to watch since I'm there from 8am to 9pm at night.
 
I got a decent night of gaming in.

Tried out the Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts demo as well as the Mirror's Edge demo. Neither were my cup of tea so there's two fall games off my list.

Then got in a couple hours of Oblivion. Still digging it. Probably going to stop closing Oblivion Gates, those are pretty big time sinks with seemingly little payoff. Otherwise mainly focusing on Dark Brotherhood Quests at the moment, as well as other side quests I run into along the way. Need to get back to the story quests as well.
 
[quote name='dallow']Just saw the Bayonetta trailer from TGS since it's on the PSN store.
So over the top and ridiculous.

Must play.[/QUOTE]

Definitely my next highly anticipated game. I hope it hits in March (no delays!)



Revisited Ninja Gaiden II tonight. As a sequel to Ninja Gaiden, it's an affront to everything I believe in. As a dumb action game, it's tops. Downloaded mission mode, which is much worse than Black's mission mode + it costs money. Still, the later missions are good.

So yeah, I hate it and like it at the same time. Also, I installed NXE and installed NGII...that about takes care of the 360's heat/noise/shitty interface problems. :)
 
Got to Chapter 3 in Valkyria Chronicles.

I really like it. Sound effects/voices are really nice, and the score is excellent.
And it moves pretty fast for an SRPG.
I hear Chapter 7 is where it really gets hard.

look how many more greater than signs I have. now there's no way your post can possibly be true. you were a worthy opponent, but you'll need to use more greater than signs to defeat me.
 
Just fought Leviathan in Resistance 2.


It was badass.

[quote name='Rei no Otaku']I agree.

Actually it's DMC4>DMC3>NG2>NGB[/QUOTE]

Yep.

Then again, I can't decide if I liked DMC3 or 4 more.

Meh, dmc 3 and 4 just weren't very competitive games. Shitty, opaque scoring systems, all flash. Though I like them almost as much as NGB. but I don't think there's anyone on cag who was into DMC or NG enough to give a shit about scores.
 
[quote name='zewone']Oh yeah, Rei, see if you have any gold hamburger codes at work tomorrow. :)[/QUOTE]
Won't get to check until Saturday. Going to NY to see Repo today.

Well wasn't the idea behind the scoring systems that as you turn up the difficulty to the top 2 or so things (at least in dmc) you more or less have to not get hit or else you get screwed and die in a terrible fire.

DMC has that mode, yeah. heaven or hell and hell or hell mode. Has nothing to do with scoring though, just survival. Master Ninja mode is kinda like that at the beginning of the game, but you get an extended life bar throughout the game. It's more about beating the timer and getting UTs in NG1 and getting quick kills, UTs, and OTs in NG2.
 
If you want Marvel vs Capcom 2... just get a Dreamcast and the DC version of the game. Better value overall. + best home port of the game.

This right here. I laugh when I see GS charging $80 for a used MvC2 for PS2..
 
Yeah the DC version is best.. I've played both the PS2 and Xbox versions and they don't feel right..

What does feel right is GEARS2!

I wasn't really hyped for it, but it's so good. I played some horde mode and a lot of single player last night. There are some really, really impressive scenes so far. It feels much larger and epic in scale, while keeping the tightly designed encounters from the first game. It also looks phenomenal. Too many people will gloss over it, saying it's too similar but the lighting and texture detail, and size of the environments are a huge step up.

A+
 
Hey I'm not dead. :whee: Been a long busy week at work , what with a new department manager and all.

Eagerly awaiting Gears 2. I think I have release date delivery from amazon , but if I don't I know I'll have it tomorrow.

Was thinking about making a seperate thread about it in the General gaming forum , but maybe I'll just ask here. What are the best instruments for Rock Band/Guitar Hero? It does not have to be the complete band kit ones , it can be from all of the current released instruments. This has stemmed from trying to decide whether to get the Rock Band 2 bundle or the GH:WT bundle, then hearing that both are only so so. Not only that but also thinking about upgrading my xplorer to a Les Paul , but hearing that the xplorer is better.
 
MvC2 is such a fun game on dc. Got lucky and found it for a quarter at a garage sale last year after having my old copy stolen awhile back.

Currently sitting here waiting for UPS to bring me gears 2. Can't wait to play but sucks I have work at 5 until 11.

I believe the GH:WT guitar is the best so far if not the xplorer cause the les paul sucks cause of the detachable neck. Mic is same on all I believe. Drums are Rock Band 2 currently until they get around and fix the GH:WT drums.

GH:WT guitar is the best guitar, but its a really high possiblity that you'll get a fucked up guitar and have to RMA it.

Xplorers are 2nd best, and cheaper. You can buy two Xplorers + GH:WT for $60 shipped in the deals forum.

I saw that deal about the 2 Xplorers , but I already have one from buying Guitar Hero 2 a while back. So I need another guitar , drums and maybe a mic (can the 360 headset be used as a mic?).

I suppose I could always do the 2 Xplorers + GH:WT bundle and sell off the other one to fund the drums/mic?
 
Yeah, Star, just plug it into your guitar. RB2 drums are definitely better than the first RB drums, and GH:WT drums are having all sorts of problems so you'll probably be fucked if you go that route. Just grab the GH:WT bundle, sell off the game for $45 or so, and grab the RB2 drums.

But , I actually want to KEEP GH:WT.:whistle2:#

What are the odds that I could sell the complete Rock Band 1 instrument set (PS2/PS3) and the Rock Band 1 game (PS2) and get at least $100 out of it all? If not so good , how much could I realistically get out of all of it?

:rofl: at $100 for all of it...

$50 if you're EXTREMELY lucky is my guess
 
So I was skimming the deals section and found some sick trade in deals for Gamestop. I'm going to dump some stuff this weekend and hopefully grab LBP and R2. Here's hoping for $100ish credit!
 
[quote name='manthing']:rofl: at $100 for all of it...

I never said I was expecting that much , that's how much I paid for it and hoped that maybe I'd at least break even. That's why I asked realistically. I suppose $50 is better than nothing.

Stick 'em up on Craigslist if they're in good condition for 60-70 bucks.

I might try that. The only thing that has been used is the Strat , and the game itself of course.

UPS guy just came by , delivered In Rainbows , No More Heroes and Gears 2.:D. Too bad I have to go and run some errands first.:wall::cry:
