[quote name='Maklershed']Took off work due to snow today. Hopefully I can get through a proper amount of Prince of Persia.[/QUOTE]

It's not a long game. If you actually play for a good part of your day at home, you'll finish it.

Me too, roads are an ice rink right now.

They delayed the start time but things look real bad.


Time to play some Viva Pinata 2.
Best game this gen on all systems.
 
[quote name='dallow']RE5 demo is easy peasy.
VERY FUN in co-op though, much more so than playing alone.

Captain Chainsaw disagrees with you.

Up until him though, no problem. if he would die when i tossed like 7 grenades at him and then shot him in the eye 8 times, no problem.

See, when you say shit like this, that's when you lose your credibility. :p
 
What? He's the easier boss in the demo.

I just shot at him, only used 2 explosive barrels, no grenades, and he died fairly quickly.
Helps when your co-op buddy is shooting at him too.

If he got close, just walk by him. (the fat guy might hit you if he swings around)
I played again and stood still just so I could die, because I heard he did decapitate you.

I played maybe close to 6 hours straight yesterday. Damn, so good, so under appreciated. :p

nah. computer AI sucks. she wasn't helping. probably didn't help that it was my first prolonged experience with the demo either... though captain chainsaw planted the blade in my torso.

MSNBC is showing a freeway in Forth Worth right now and it looks like its just a sheet of ice. Plus there seems to be a few cars pointing in the wrong directions. :lol:

Hehe, I was watching the exact same thing.
The local guys were talking up that scene, it was pretty funny.

We can't handle ice.
 
Working from home today, due to the ice/snow, nothing like watching a couple of white trash chicks beat each other on Jerry Springer as I try and fix my connection to the VPN.

Tried the RE5 demo last night, I wasn't exactly in love with it, could be good in co-op though.
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']Fifth school cancellation this winter.

I'll be going to school until August.[/QUOTE]
NYC hasn't had a snow day in like, 6 years. xD

So now I have to go in and take a test for 3 hours.

I really wanna play some more Chrono Trigger. fuck School. xD
 
Also working from home today do to snow/ice. But of course nothing new for me since I work from home usually 2-3 days a week anyway.

Add me to the pussies who found the RE5 demo to be too hard. :( Shanty town wasn't bad, I only played once and died at the chain saw guy. But the Gathering level was no fun just running around trying to stay alive until the helicopter showed up.

Again, if they're going to make RE into a 3rd person action game then give it controls that suit a 3rd person action game rather than tank controls and not being able to move and shoot at the same time. No need for clunky survival horror controls when the game isn't survival horror anymore.
 
I hate it when you have lots of games, but don't know which one to play!
Somebody pick for me:
Prince Of Persia
Splinter Cell: Double Agent
RSV1
Warriors Orochi 2
Gun
Farcry Instincts/Predator
FarCry 2

Somebody pick one! Preferably one I can play for a few hours and make some actual progress in!
 
play gun first. it's really short. I enjoyed it but felt like it was the shortest thing I've ever played. the pacing was what killed it for me, but other than that solid title.

Prince of Persia, the new one?

It's short. Play that and get it done. 1-2 days max. I got the

The work of the fucking devil. I'm from San Diego, if it gets below 50, I get pissed.

Sell them all.
Buy Persona 4.

Call Mr. Plow.
 
[quote name='FloodsAreUponUS']http://www.finalfantasy13game.com/

fucking Amazing.

The last min and a half are real time footage.

Best looking game this gen, IMO.[/quote]

That trailer made me want the game less. It'll be great for those who love the genre (as well as ninja babes), but I am very much passing. Thankfully Versus and the PSP version look better IMHO.

[quote name='tiredfornow']damn, that demon's souls game looks like complete trash.[/quote]

I want it so badly though. If it plays anything like valhalla knights, i need it.

I can understand some people not liking it, but I love the final fantasy series, and FF12 was one of the biggest disappointments to me. This seems to evolve FF past what FF12 tried to do and failed.
Regardless of if you like FF or not, once this game comes out all other JRPGs will try and emulate it.

I just love the art style and the world.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Wow, is it snowing everywhere? I'm staying home due to the weather as well.[/quote]
It snowed a bit around here. Now it's just raining and turning the snow into slush. Thankfully it's not enough to keep me from going to work or getting my copy of DJ Max.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']Yeah, the art style is perfect for that game. I just wish we could play it. Someday.[/quote]

Pre-order Advent Children Complete. Play the demo.
 
[quote name='FloodsAreUponUS']Pre-order Advent Children Complete. Play the demo.[/quote]
As badly as I'd like to try the demo I'm not importing AC to do it... despite the fact I kind of want AC on Bluray....
 
[quote name='FloodsAreUponUS']Pre-order Advent Children Complete. Play the demo.[/QUOTE]


what's the cheapest way to get this? also, is the demo limited?
 
Sorry for the giant picture, but I had a good laugh at this:

the art style is starting to bore me IMHO. I can see their direction but it's definitly not something I'm attracted to. Though FFXIII Versus and the PSP one are the same universe, I think their styles are a bit more cohesive. and I like them so that helps.
 
[quote name='ninja dog']what's the cheapest way to get this? also, is the demo limited?[/quote]

You can get it from Play-Asia for 70 shipped. Ive got a copy preordered.
The demo is limited and only being printed with the first run of ACC.
 
[quote name='dmaul1114']FFXIII does look pretty damn good. Not sure I can still stomach menu-driven turn based battles anymore though.[/QUOTE]

Didn't XII do away with turn driven? I haven't played it yet, but know it's supposed to be more like an MMORPG or something with real-time battles...

Is XIII going back to pure turn-based combat?

The way you're supposed to play FFXII is to create a good gambit, then micro-manage with menu driven stuff.

XIII has menus but its supposed to be more fast paced like Crisis Core.

I'll let you know how it is after I play the $70 DEMO GODDAMNIT FLOODDS

XIII has a hybrid system, its going to be like XII but it is going to involve more action and more ATB.

Its not going back to the X days of waiting around.

XII did I believe. In the video it showed them selecting stuff out of menus in the battle scenes. Though of course the menus were in Japanese so I couldn't tell if it was old style menu combat or something like KOTOR where you're just pausing and setting up commands etc.

I've just been spoiled by western RPGS like Oblivion and Mass Effect. I much prefer real time combat to any form of turn based combat.
