Getting Hot and Heavy With GGT #76

I finally played the Force Unleashed demo and thought it was awesome. Day 1 for me...assuming it's at least a 10 hour game. If not I'll put my pre-order onto something else.


Speaking of Star Wars I finally found a copy of Jedi Power Battles for DC at a local game store yesterday. Fun game.

Also playing some of that Haze. i hear there are free online maps for download...I just hope there are people online.
 
[quote name='SL4IN']I'm going to start final fantasy IV ds today. Also, I posted in your trade list puma.[/QUOTE]

Good choice!
 
Hey sl4in, I have no clue what it's worth lol, so I don't have an asking price.

Does anyone have any point cards left over from the whole Target thing they wanna sell?

The Force unleashed Demo didnt Impress me at all. It was filled with Meh...

[quote name='DarthPuma']How long did it take you? I'm at chapter 12 or 13 and If I have more than 4 hours of game left I'm selling it. I can't take any longer than that.[/quote]

I'm not sure how long it took me in total, I picked it up again yesterday right after
the plane crashed
and finished it this morning.

I really should finish it then, but I just can't do it.

Shadows of the Empire was kind of meh. But I can't tell you how many hours of my life I wasted playing the first Rogue Squadron.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']You'll be sorely disappointed.



Combat was good. Leveling was good. Story and character design sucked ass. So did the fact that you didn't really get any freedom until toward the very end of the game.[/quote]


Yeah.... It has always been the slowest FF to start for me. I always start it and get a few hours in before I get bored. I am making myself sit through it and actually finish it this time. I haven't played many RPGs lately (when FFX came out I only played RPGs) so I'll stick it out.

Taking a break right now. About the enter the cloister of trials for the first real temple.

Interesting, though I get the impression that the author looks at videogames as an inherently narrative medium, which makes his argument a little flawed.

Oh, found an awesome figure collecting site today and joined up to keep track of my collection. Managed to find a lot of my figures in their database (mostly Square Enix and Pinky:st ones), but there's still a lot left to add...

I don't know what the hell you're talking about. SotE was full of contagious diseases. It ruined my fucking childhood.

this. i hated this game
 
[quote name='refusedchaos']this. i hated this game[/quote]

The super nintendo side scrolling action platformers were much fucking better than this box of infected razors that was a near-launch title for the wii. I mean gamecube. *cough* N64! *cough*
 
I liked SoTe...It was filled with glitches out it's distended anus, but It was still a fun game, that actually captured the campy vibe from the original Star wars films.
 
So I went to GS to take advantage of the 10/20/30% (20/30/40%) and finally give up Gears (might as well before 2 comes out and fucks the trade in value even more), and the GS guy gives me a bag of Mercs2 schwag I completely forgot about. Sweet. Mercs2 is fully paid off and I picked up DL codes for unique outfits, a slick-looking perfect bound art book, and a beanie hat.

Also pre-ordered Yggdra Union PSP and Spore LE for giggles. Not sure I'll really follow through with buyin' 'em yet. And it was tempting to pre-order TFU, but I'll try and hold off for a price cut or sale on that one.
 
After I finish Uncharted, does anyone have a recommendation on a good, short, and easy game for the tripple or sexbox, preferably cheap? Nothing in my backlog that I really want to play atm. I was thinking Lego Indy or something.

Heavenly Sword maybe?
 
[quote name='distgfx']Heavenly Sword maybe?[/quote]

Hmmm, I'm more in the mood for something more lighthearted, but I do love GoW. I might have to give it a shot.

Well, I beat it in about 5 - 6 hours, so it's short and fun. The 25% off PS3 games coupon + edge card at gamestop would make it a decent price.
 
[quote name='nyprimus4']Bestbuy is selling SC4 Premium Edition for $59.99 and there is a 10% off coupon floating around. I may have to bite.[/quote]

Do it, totally worth the money.
 
[quote name='distgfx']Do it, totally worth the money.[/quote]


Yeeesssss do it. I'm uber casual when it comes to fighting games and I adore it.

No gamestop in my town or I'd probably get Heavenly Sword.

Might try to get a group to split Quest For Booty. Is it as fun as the last?

QFB should be like any other R&C game, but without clank as I understand it.
GS charges too much for HS. I know, I've been trying to find it cheap and I'm always tempted with the 25% off coupon, but it's never low enough... with 25% + edge, it's currently:
$26 + tax
 
That's actually about what I'm looking to spend. Too bad the nearest gamestop is 50 miles away lol.

Maybe I'll get lucky and my Radioshack will carry Lego Indy. 25 after coupon sounds pretty good.

6 chapters left in Uncharted. Probably won't finish tonight, but I will tomorrow after school.

OT, but does being severely bummed about something cause you to be really tired and sleep a lot?

it could -- I think those are staple symptoms of depression...

I dunno... I'd like to pay ~ $20 for it, since it's so damn short.
 
Just snagged the BBC Planet Earth Blu-ray for $40 paypal.

Any suggestions?
 
Wait, if Quest for Booty is the R&C game, what the fuck did they rename Plunder to? I was under the impression it was Quest for Booty.

... been busy all day.. woke up and got together with a friend to work on hist art being better by working with personal stuff of his... always an artists best tool is a healthy self... or butter.

played some pixeljunk monsters though via remote play while watching the closing of the olympics.
 
I've not felt like gaming lately. An hour and a half or so of CoD4 on Thursday night was all the gaming I've done this past week. Free time has gone into social outings and watching Heroes season 1 with my roommate.

Maybe I'll get in some more gaming this week. Need to get motivated to get done with GTAIV (or give up on it). Think I have exactly 50 missions down and 20-21 hours into it. Would like to finish, but at the same time it's gotten tedious and feeling more like a chore than fun most of the time.

zombies.
WTF?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I loved Uncharted but that part was stupid.
 
I'm calling it quits for tonight at chapter 20, right before I enter the church.

You still want this Primus? Looks like I'll be finished tomorrow night.

Yea, you'll definitely be done tomorrow night. Hell, you could finish it up tonight if you wanted. Sad that you have to force yourself to finish it though.
Yea the zombies/cursed spaniards were kind of weird.

I try to make myself go to bed at 10 30 on weekdays so I'm not dead tired at school or I'd just finish it up tonight.

Even though I had to force myself to finish it, I actually really enjoyed the game. Some parts were annoying, but overall I'd give it an 8/10, unless the ending just completely blows.

You can probably predict the ending pretty easily.
Guy saves the world, guy gets the girl and they all live happily ever after.
 
TWEWY is the best game I have played all year. I would go for 100%, but I just don't have the time. I need to spend time with other games.

Yeah, I was fairly certain that that's how it would wrap up seeing as how the entire game was like a playable hollywood summer blockbuster.
 
Uncharted would have been great if
the writers hadn't gotten piss drunk and turned the game into I am Legend in the final act.

I enjoyed it, but it could have been so much better.
 
I liked Uncharted a lot. It's the best Naughty Dog game I've played.

I might want to mention that the only Naughty Dog games I've ever played are Crash 1 and 2. I wanted to play Way of the Warrior badly though. :)

I really shouldn't read spoiler tags until I finish it lol.
 
Huh?
other than the zombie things, which were lame not only from an enemy perspective, but from a story angle, I don't get the I Am Legend reference.

They just reminded me of the zombies from the movie.
