Still more grinding for Disgaea. :whistle2:( I like how even the flunkies with the final boss could potentially take out 3 of my people in one shot. Guess I'll aim for level 65 and go from there.
 
GGT WUT UP.

I have a class in an hour and a half called "Video Games & Online Communities". I hope the homework is "post in the ggt". I'll keep you updated on how ridiculous this class is going to be.

So, uh, whats good on 360 that I can't play on PS3?

And I'll be in for that VC DLC.
 
[quote name='jer7583']Same here this week. Negative temps and bad winds. I hate it.

Suikoden 5 seems like a rough one to blast through. I respect it's quality, but man, it's a slow, slog through. Mine is on amazon now, oh well.

Also, take note:

Judging someone for coming into GGT and bragging about Yu Gi Oh tournaments - NOT OKAY.

Judging someone for taking their girlfriend to Olive Garden for cheap - OKAY.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I hate this weather. I want to move away from it.

I want to play Suikoden 5 because I haven't played more than an hour of it since I bought it. I heard it takes like 8 hours to get going, but when it does, it's gold. But I'll probably get distracted by something easier to just pick up and play.

Olive Garden is good, but me being a broke ass motherfucker and single, I don't eat there often, unless a friend wants too. My favorite part is making the dude put cheese on my food and just sitting back and watching him go for like 2 minutes before I say stop. Dude's getting tired by then. And damn, they like to be stingy on the breadsticks.

I don't personally recommend things with strikethrough text, but others have. Wherever possible try the demo.

Castle Crashers
Ikaruga
Ninja Gaiden 2
Guitar Hero 2
Left 4 Dead
Forza 2
Project Gotham Racing 4

Some of these were on GCN or PS2 -- but I was just going for "not on PS3".
 
My favorite 360 exclusive would be either Lost Odyssey or PGR4. Halo 3 is also up there.
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']??? who the hell crosses out VF5 online?[/QUOTE]Because it's not really exclusive (only online play and some refinements). I'm perfectly happy sticking to my PS3 version because it has a good d-pad. :) I tried the 360 demo and couldn't do anything.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']??? who the hell crosses out VF5 online?[/QUOTE]

Me. Virtua Fighter is like an STD, man. It's straight garbage.

It was alright back in arcades with VF, VF2, and maybe even VF3. But VF4 was garbage. One of the most disappointing games I ever dropped $$$ on. I somehow got suckered into dropping the $20 on Evo too, thinking it could somehow fix the steaming pile of crap that had shat in my PS2. Wrong. VF5 follows the same path...

I know everyone else loves it for some reason. But it could follow the path set by the E.T. video game and I couldn't care less -- I never found the system to be "deep" and the graphics creeped me out like some sort of uncanny valley effect.

Screw VF. Give me Tekken, Street Fighter, 2D Mortal Kombat, or Soul Calibur any day. I'll even take other SNK stuff like Fatal Fury or Samurai Showdown. I'm sure there's more franchises I'd rather play too.
 
Picked up the Fable II DLC last night and played through the Ice Key quest. Also played more Fallout 3. I'm still workin' my way to Rivet City. I guess I could just run/sneak over there, but I like clearing the way in front me and gaining XP/exploring. I wish I could do it faster though.

VF is good stuff.
 
i'd like a new Fighters Mega Mix and Fighting Vipers please.

i don't really care if it's not tourney worthy or if it's not balanced correctly. those were a lot of fun.
 
I really want to get DLC and XBLA games but I can't bring myself to pay $22.60 for 1400 MSPTs. Yeah, 1400 for $20 plus tax here in Canada. They dont work cross border like XBL time cards. =(

I've enjoyed the series since I first played VF in arcades. Shit was so weird compared to SF2 HF, but I dug it. Since then, I've put in tons of time into each one, and I'm a huge fan of the series. It's funny that you didn't like VF4, because that was the one that even my casual friends got into. I bought a PS3 for VF5 and T5DR, and I didn't regret it one bit, since I play more fighters than anything. 360 wasn't doing it for me. I'd say it's no deeper than anything else, but it's more based on timing and skill than mashing out combos. Though you can do that with Lau pretty easily. ;)

Different strokes for different folks.

I'll play pretty much any fighter, except for some like MK vs. DC, since I swore off 3D MKs after Deception. And the obviously shitty ones like Time Killers and War Gods and shit.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']Damn do I love VF5. I played it online yesterday and nobody was on. :cry: Usually there's at least a few dudes.[/QUOTE]
Hit me up on Live sometime. I'll play against you. I love VF5.

Will do. :)

If you wish. Friend request me. :)
 
Heh we used to play VF5 here back when it came out. I bet my stick is awesome for that game..

MK vs. DCU is halfway decent for being a 3D MK game -- I played MK4 maybe, when it was in the arcades -- that shit was bad. Probably worse than VF. ;) But this new one isn't terrible.

My main problem with VF4/5 is that I'm a sucker for SF/Tekken/MK style moves. This "UP+punch+kick" or "DOWN+kick+guard" just doesn't do it for me. Probably why I hate Smash Bros. in some regard too. I don't mesh with the "input" commands for those games and thus, I never feel like I can do combos... I mean, I went through the tutorials for Kage, Wolf, and several others and I just couldn't find a single fighter that made it feel like I was doing anything more than button mashing.
 
Yeah, the combos/controls for VF are complicated compared to Tekken. I can see how it'd put some people off. I still don't know what I'm doing. -_-

Oh god, MK4, that shit was pure lulz. :) My main problems with 3D MKs are things like "3 of the same move in a row = combo" and, in Deadly Alliance and Deception, they just tacked on a moment where you couldn't block after a move as a way of making it unsafe, even if you could move and the move was finished. It was ghetto as hell.

I see you point about VF, even though Tekken has tons of moves that are Up/Towards and LK+RK, or Towards and LP+RP. SC too, direction plus A+B, B+K, etc. My friend plays VF5 and enjoys it, even though he doesn't do much other than PPPK and PPP2K. He's a masher at heart, whereas I'm always trying to set up juggles or sneak in grabs.

Tekken is definitely more "I did a move, look at it go!" than VF5. It's more immediately gratifying to see a big ass uppercut with lightning and shit than a little elbow poke. :)
 
They're simply very different games. Tekken can be friendly to spammers (to overgeneralize, as I'm sure MarkMan would disagree) and button-slammers. The VF series was *never* forgiving to that kind of gameplay; and it has a steep learning curve, so those people accustomed to intuitively learning to play a game expertly wouldn't be turned on by that either.

Kinda like why folks don't like the Fire Pro Wrestling games: it makes button-mashers hate themselves. Or throw the game out the fucking window with no remorse.

That said, I never put the time into VF to learn it, and I grew bored with Tekken, lamentably, after buying Dark Resurrection from the PSN. ZzZzZzZzZz.
 
Is it coincidence that golf is quite possibly the most boring sport, ever? I think not! Teehee!

Nah, I just think Tekken/VF are boring as fuck and I'd probably have more fun hitting my balls with a hammer, but thats just me. :shrugs:
 
I remember trying to learn to play VF...when I was 9. This was around the time SF had already been on the scene, and for someone who was barely able to understand how to chuck a fireball, VF was completely alien.
 
VF3 was OK, but it's probably the series low point IMO.

I've loved Tekken since I got it on release for PS1. I was hooked instantly, and I still am. I almost bought a Saturn for VF2, but I waited until I got a good deal on one.

I bought my Saturn used for 60 bucks with Sega Rally, VF2, and Shinobi Legions back in '97. I played a ton of VF2. I got so many good deals for Saturn; Dragon Force for $20, Guardian Heroes for $12, Panzer Saga for $20, Shining Force 3 for $20, etc. Good times.

I agree. VF, you mash, you usually die. Tekken is like that though, against anyone that's decent, but you can get away with it a little more.

I love Fire Pro BTW.

T5DR was the best purchase I made for PS3. Well, at least on PSN. ;)

:shock:

Damn. That sucks. I wonder why that is.
 
SSF2T arcade version's computer is a bitch.

Wow. I'm not even playing the PS2 CCC2 version with the broken "always 8 stars" difficulty either.

fuck Tony Hawk.
 
Yeah probably. Chun should win pretty easy but he does grabs that I'm pretty sure aren't possible in a real match. The fucker gave me the 360 while I was throwing out legs..

[/quote]i guess thats why i don't like those games. smashing buttons really sucks, but if I have a friend playing with me thats usually all that goes on. my girlfriend hates those fighting games (loves cvs2/mvc2, though) and the few friends i have that still live in the valley think gaming is for people with pocket protectors and boogers on their shirt collar. :cry:

Yeah, good competition with good players makes fighters worth playing. My friends would play Tekken and VF with me, but they got tired of losing. We all got into SC2 when I got the GC import 6 months before the US release though. We all played SC before that, and we had lots of good nights of just playing SC and SC2. Now, I have to rely on online to play others. :cry:

One of my friends had a girlfriend that played a mean Taki in SCIV, but she ended up being crazy.

It's funny, I have this huge collection of fighters and nobody to play them with. Maybe I'll have to move away from Podunk and closer to some competition.
 
Hello GGT. I've lapsed in my Animal Crossing playing. It feels silly to say this, but it's true: the game is way too easy.

Been playing a lot of Disgaea DS and Rune Factory 2, though. Also some Okami, and have been itching to replay Portal.
 
do you have a picture up in the photo album, hankmewankmecrankmejackmefuckme?

for some reason, I picture you looking like bobby hill with long hair. :whistle2:|

one of my good friends had these really ghetto, grill wearing, xxxxxl white shirt wearing thugs as neighbors that were pretty funny to play games with, and man, those were the days. almost got shot a couple of times, or strangled with the controller, but nobody there could touch my maxi. :cool:
