[quote name='Rei no Otaku']You mean there are some people that don't think MK is a joke?[/quote]
I thought the MK series used to be ok(at least up until Mk3).

UMK3 was the end of what I thought was playable/enjoyable. MKvDCU was surprisingly decent for a 3Dish based fighter, but definitely not anything more than a rental.
 
[quote name='heavyd853']It'll only seem like the most amazing game ever if you regularly get your prostate checked by a doctor.

It suffers a similar illness as Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, I call it "Only old men really think its cool syndrome"

STHD is decent though, I guess.[/QUOTE]
Hey, Chrono Trigger is amazing, Super Turbo is great, and I'm not that old. :bomb:

Now if only those damn kids would stay off of my lawn. :bomb:
[quote name='mykevermin']Hard? Easy? What's more important is that it just ain't fun. It's got that typical Midway "instead of genuinely programming the AI to be more intelligent as you ratchet the difficulty up, we'll just make them reverse/counter your moves more frequently" crap. Like MKII and MK3/UMK3.

I will make a cupcake in celebration the day Midway sinks, which should have happened 4-5 times already.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. fuck Midway, and fuck their AI.
[quote name='FloodsAreUponUS']Mortal Kombat is a joke.
Ed Boon is a robot.[/QUOTE]
MK is a joke, but Ed Boon is a cyborg. Get it right.

I don't think programming the computer to do things that no human player could do in a million years and giving it some sort of ESP into what you're doing by delaying your command input counts as AI, persay. But yes. fuck their "AI".

So true. It's not quite Artificial Intelligence, it's more like All-knowing Instinct, where they have an answer for everything. Liu Kang will instantly shut you down with air fireballs if you try to jump. They'll counter your uppercut with one of their own and they don't have to crouch to do one. They just perpetually walk forward until you are dead. My friend calls that the March of Death. The first 2 AI opponents will just lay down and die for you, then the third one has some blood feud against you and will probably take you out. Etc. etc. etc. It all adds up to the most annoying and frustrating AI around.

And for the record, I will play VF5 and SCIV on the hardest difficulty and win, but it takes me 2 hours to beat MK2 on "easy". Kitana fan traps on Shao Kahn puts him down easily at least.
 
Ragnar is now level 4, lol. I also ended up watching a couple more episodes of Smallville season 7 on BR after messing with the R-Type demo. I'll try and do more Fallout 3 tonight.
 
[quote name='Trakan']jer, where'd you get that SFIV faceplate/skin combo already?[/quote]

not jer but theyve been available at gamestop
 
Tried the RE5 demo in local co-op with my friend. We got through Public Assembly, but it took a few tries. Did Shanty Town once and died at the chain saw guy and quit for the night.

Didn't really seem much easier in co-op than in solo--game is definitely a bit hard for my liking.

Will have to get the Halo Wars demo downloading before I hit the sack tonight. I like the series but never really cared much for RTS games but will give the demo a go.
 
Not much Killzone 2 talk.

Must be a shitty game.

I'm stealing copies and then destroying them just so Sony can't get the sales because I hate Sony and want them to go out of business.

Demo's soopa short. Not much to talk about.

Looks good, control type 2 is nice, pretty immersive. But way short.
 
I haven't actually tried it, but I'll set it to DL tomorrow from the euro store. I'm thinking of getting it day 1, but I have a feeling I'll still be playing SFIV nightly at that point and for a long time after.
 
[quote name='distgfx']Try turning off the KZ2 demo. Makes it much better ... at least for me.[/QUOTE]
Fixed. ;)

Really, I don't think it's bad at all. It's just uninspired to me. I'm a hater, I know.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']Fixed. ;)[/quote]

You're a terrible repair man, I want your manager's number. If you got any SFIV accessories then I want your house address too.
 
Killzone will be fun. I'll be playing SFIV more, but Killzone 2 will be fun. Definitly not super original, but one of the very few FPS franchises that I actually give a damn about.
 
[quote name='distgfx']You're a terrible repair man, I want your manager's number. If you got any SFIV accessories then I want your house address too.[/QUOTE]

Dude, my manager is out back taking a smoke break. You can talk to him when he gets back. I have a ton of SFIV accessories. They are neato. :)

My address is :

7480 Mission Valley Road, Suite 101
San Diego, CA 92108

Come visit me anytime. :)
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']damn... House of the Dead Overkill looks fun... though I'll be renting it before buying.[/QUOTE]

It does look very good.

Makes me wish I had a Wii.

... MadCatz ... you rat bastard, why must you mock me?!
 
I still don't know why I still have a Wii. Nintendo needs to thank Grasshopper Manufac. for forcing me to keep my Wii.

All I care about on Wii ATM are Mad World, No More Heroes DS, and any lightgun based games... that's it.

I wish the Virtual Console was something I liked, but I want more N64 stuff on there and there's what... roughly 10 games only for N64 VC?

:grouphug:

I want to hit Best Buy tomorrow and snag a FightPad. TE stick coming soon. I have my checks from working that I need to cash. Just need SFIV and I'm set.

VC = day old bread. I used to get stoked on Monday mornings anticipating the releases. Now every week it's two lame WiiWare titles and some Master System game that 8 people bought in 1987, and 7 hated. The 8th never opened it.

Damn you... well, at least I got the TE stick covered, but I want a FightPad too! One for each system.

I... you... just... you... how dare... I just can't believe what I read. I hope your brain explodes from the rage I'm trying to transmit via my finger.
