Wow at Killzone 2. That means I'm going to have to spend money. Shiiit.

I'm going to be getting back into FO3 again tonight too, gun. I've put over 12 hours into it on 2 plays and just got to Rivet City on my farthest.
 
[quote name='manthing']Has what? Venereal diseases?

That's what most of their MS output has played like.[/quote]
PDZ and Kameo aside, VP, VP2, and Banjo seem like really well polished creative games that allow the player to be pretty creative and free.

My friend and I have a garden that we worked on yesterday. You really do need help as things get crazy.


Not sure what else they've made though for 360.
I hear Kameo is decent though, I want to get that to play local co-op with the lady friend.

No.

Rare is well past their prime and should be put out to pasture or forced to make another killer instinct game, i'm not sure which. :whistle2:k

Goldeneye, DKC, DKC2, and KI are the only rare games I fondly remember. DK64 was alright... not good enough to finish it though.
 
I think Rare is no better or worse. They had good timing with the N64 and got to work on Nintendo properties with Nintendo's aid. Some of their classics aren't as good in retrospect and some of their new games are better in retrospect. The one mega hit was Golden Eye, but as I mentioned, that was mostly timing.
 
[quote name='ninja dog']So basically, Killzone 2 only has four 10s out of all the reviews that have come out? Pre-order cancelled.[/quote]No shit. Gears 2 with a 9.5 almost had me cancelling, but I guess K2 must be a tad bit shittier if it scored lower. $60 saved!
 
Too bad.

VP continues to blow my mind, and I haven't even used any garden items, special characters, or romancing/evolving.
Just the basic growing and taming wild pinata.

I can't believe I waited so long to play this.

I don't even care for Rare's N64 games save for Conker.
Most of their output NES->SNES was enjoyable.

EDIT:
They should make another KI game.... :drool:
 
I could never get into VP. I didn't care for any of the Rare games really--I was sucked in by the hype of course, but once I actually played them I lost interest quickly.
 
I'm not sure why I'm enjoying it so much.
I like collecting, I like designing, and I like caring about animals.
The game is really deep too.

I even considered getting a Vision camera just for this game.

I lucked out though and did get a Vision cam anyway.
I was at Gamestop and looking for a new headset when I saw the cam marked $4.99.
They mislabeled it as an optical cable.

I told them, "There's no way you'd honor this right?"
They searched the system, had 1 camera in stock and that wasn't it, so they just sold it me.
I'll take it for $5.00.
 
Ooo. Good deal. I'm bummed because I have no Targets in my state (won't open until March this year), so I can't pick up "You're In the Movies" w/camera for $30. Frak, one more month and I could've snagged that deal or PM'd.

As for Rare, I have Banjo, and it seems ok so far. I'm too wrapped up in Fallout to really start playing it though. :p

Use it at Amazon to bring Killzone 2 to $51.99 shipped.[/QUOTE]

If I didn't have a ton of GS credit, I'd do that and thank you kindly.
 
Too bad I couldn't get it my goldbox to get another 3 or so bucks off. Or whatever it is.

I'll live. :)

Perhaps we can finally play online together Frosty! Aside from that horrible Haze demo.
 
I haven't been able to get into VP either. It's still sitting on my shelf so I might play it some more at some point. But after a few hours I got bored.

Kameo is a decent game IMO. It's probably on a par with Condemned as far as quality, though obviously very different in content and tone.

Haven't played the Banjo 360 game, but I'd like to check that out.

I thought of you when I saw the Penguin pinata.

I've had two 6 hour play sessions of VP.
I can understand it not being for everyone.
Even if I didn't enjoy it, I definitely respect Rare and this games style.

Banjo is different, but seems to have a pretty creative vehicle building mechanic that's much deeper than I thought.
You can make whatever you want almost and solve things different ways.

Well, the way I see it the game is dirt cheap, so anybody that thinks it might interest them may as well buy it and give it a shot.

I already have it pre-ordered. Should I just cancel and re-pre-order?
 
[quote name='wubb']Well, the way I see it the game is dirt cheap, so anybody that thinks it might interest them may as well buy it and give it a shot.[/quote]Yeah, it's worth a shot.
Main reason why I love it so much is probably because I'm such a 360 guy, and I
 
$5 off Killzone 2 seems tempting. But I'm going to hold off right now. This is one game I can sit back and wait for a pricedrop.
 
I will wait for a used copy of Killzone 2 and use the coupon + edge combo when it's available. It seems really good looking at a few reviews.
 
[quote name='dallow']Some guy got Amazon to glitch it to $46.99.
No idea how...[/QUOTE]

Well, if I can somehow get it at that price I would go ahead and pre-order it.
 
[quote name='depascal22']So how many GGTers are getting Street Fighter IV?[/QUOTE]

I want the PS3 CE, but I'll probably get the 360 version just because the online will probably be better.
 
I built an arcade stick for 360 and only own 360.

Vega can stuff that claw up his butt. Glad to hear he got nerfed in SF4(so far it seems)
 
I was listening to the mother 3 soundtrack today and after people posting game music, I thought I'd share. My god, it's so good.

[quote name='Chacrana']Hey guys, buy Raiden Fighters Aces.[/quote]
Yes, no downloading it this time.

I remember Raptor.

Raiden Fighters isn't a bullet hell shmup - normal human beings can play it. I like Cave's games as much as the next guy, but this is a lot more reasonable stuff here.

BUY IT.
