[quote name='Chacrana']Also, the .hack series is disappointing. I remember with the first couple of games, I actually liked it for a while and it was kinda addictive, but it was also bad. .hack GU was disappointing too... same shit, but with bloom lighting. I wish they would've gotten that series right.[/quote]

Agreed, I only finished the first .hack series since I was somewhat into the story. But I couldn't even get into the first GU game. And I only payed about $10 for that game.
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']Uncharted is getting more fun the farther I get in. I'm guessing I can finish it by like 3 or 4 today.[/quote]

More fun than the demo? Cause the demo sucked.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']More fun than the demo? Cause the demo sucked.[/quote]


Yeah, the demo blew. It's taken me like half the game to finally get into it, but it's actually pretty fun and exciting now.

primus, there are a few I want, but they're all too new for it to be a fair trade.
 
I made the thread at post 499 :D
So, I got like 8 HDDVDs in the mail, and I should be getting 5 or 6 more on Monday. Once I find the Bourne Identity, I think my HDDVD collection can stop growing.

Demo made the combat seem clunky - the courtyardish battle sucked (the first big one)... I couldn't believe my headshots weren't killing enemies in one hit... and I hated how you couldn't carry two weapons. SLING THE fuckING AK OVER YOUR SHOULDER ASSHOLE! I want to use the shotgun til I run out of ammo and not have to backtrack 70 miles to pick up the fucking AK when I run out of bullets. If I were Nate, I'd sling that shit over my shoulder. Douche. :cool:

What's the best Xbox1 2D Fighting game playable over LIVE?[/QUOTE]

Guilty Gear X2 #Reload (bonus that it's now one of the downloadable ones on XBLM) or Street Fighter Anniversary

The combat never gets much better, sadly. You get used to the flow of it and it stops being as annoying. The game would have been pretty much perfect if they halved the shooting and doubled the platforming.
 
I was a bit disappointed in Uncharted. It was still fun, but got stale faster than I thought it would. I'd give it a B-.

Bangai-O Spirits is really fun! J-Pop is the worst thing I've ever heard in my life! Other than Rap!

RATT FOREVER

DON'T TOUCH SANDVICH!!

If it has to be japanese (and it always seems to have to be with you kids) It's got to be LOUDNESS

Jpop is just pop but in Japanese. So pop in general is the worst thing you've heard other than rap? Also even though it's called Jpop, a lot of it is R&B or other genres of music.

Yes. Pop is the worst.
 
I'm really enjoying Uncharted. I'm at about chapter 10 and really, really had fun with the
jeep segment where you're blowing the tar out of everyone coming at you.

I do second the request for a little bit less shooting and a little bit more platforming/puzzle solving, but all-in-all it's a really well done game.
 
You ever listen to Loudness, Rei? they're one of my favorite butt rocking hair metal type bands, and they're from japan.
 
So I replayed/beat Apollo Creed Justice, and now I'm wondering what I should play next after I finish beating FF8 (getting ready to take down Ultima Weapon/get Eden GF). Anyone wanna help me make a decision?

FF9 (still haven't beaten it...)
Tales of the Abyss (played through the first 45-60 minutes, then for some reason, never played it again)
God of War 2 (started on Hard mode, then for some reason, put it down and never picked it up again)
 
[quote name='Kendal']FFIX. It is the best FF fromm the PSX. FACT![/quote]


Quoted for truth.

I'd play Tales of Abyss first though since you only hardly played it.
 
Hmm, I think it's time to get The Orange Box again. I sold it for almost what I paid for it originally after beat Ep 1, 2, and Portal. I can get it and Ninja Gaiden: Black for the credit I got for Lego Indiana Jones on Goozex so I think I'll do that.

Anyone have a copy of Burnout 2 for Xbox they don't want?

Truf. Promote this man!

I was kinda leaning towards it, because it's kinda fun, I'll admit. But the combat just seems...I dunno, slower than ToS...or other real-time combat RPGs. Story was also uninteresting. Sheltered royalty, exploring the outside world? Yawn.
 
Why is my post broken? When I edit it it has links to three different amazon pages, but when i'm viewing the thread it just has one. The one showing up is the super expensive ridiculous one, but they also have one for under 20 bucks that is listed as the complete series.

Speaking of Anime sets, what's the best Evangelion set? I notice there's a bunch of different ones.

You do know there is an anime and manga thread right?;)

But to answer your question about eva , currently the best set available is the Platinum Series , whether it be individual volumes or the boxset. Considering how much ADV loves to release eva though , as well as new movies supposed to be in the works , I wouldn't count out an even better set down the road.

Are you talking about that one?

That one is a bootleg. Its listed as 1 disc. The ultimate collection I think had an MSRP of 69.99 (read: WAY TOO MUCH for 6 episodes) but its long OOP. Actually, its in stock at Right Stuf. Theres tons of extras though. It's really the only way to get for the series. You could always wait for a Broccoli sale (which are incredibly rare) or it could hit the Weekly Specials, OR you could get it at an In-Stock sale.

As for Evangelion, the Platinum release is the best AFAIK.
Its actually on sale at RightStuf right now:

be fore warned, you will be paying up the ass for it. a 6 episode series called Yukikaze (rly good IMO) goes for $200 on blu ray
 
I went to the new GS... no beans. The guys working there transferred from my old Gamestop and are good guys. One of them tells me to call ahead for stuff like this.

So I call a Gamestop that shows MvC2 PS2 in stock and sure enough they guy says they have one copy. So I drive 7 miles out and ask the female (.5/10) cashier. She looks for a copy for literally about 15-20 seconds before she says he (the male cashier) will look. Imagine the goofiest person you have seen in your life, this guy looked like a cartoon character. I wait as he has a conversation with a dad about Soul Calibur IV, Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, and Too Human. He was conversing with the guy for about 10 minutes while I was waiting online and another 10 minutes when the woman told me to wait. So he says what are you looking for? And I reply Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the PS2. He types something in his computer and says none in stock. I reply I called about 20 minutes ago and you told me you have 1 copy left. He calls someone on the phone, he probably doesn't even dial anyone and reads off the SKU. He then pauses for 20 seconds and tells me again no copies. Now usually I'm a very courteous, I always say please and thank you and try to respectful and helpful in anyway as a customer. So I let out a big HUFF and start walking out. As I'm walking out he exclaims in a kind of gloating tone it's $80. I know how much the game costs you fucking fuck tard. I was going to walk out of your story with it for $52 if you didn't fucking lie to me.

I'm convinced they think that if they can get people into their stores they will somehow be tempted to spend money there regardless. fuck them.

I'm going to try out some PSN demos.
 
[quote name='distgfx']Again? Why?[/quote]


I traded my first one for my PS3. I miss Brawl, and I never played Galaxy or Mario Kart, Warioland Shake it is looking sexy, and I wanna finish No More Heroes and Super Paper Mario.

and after all that stuff? then what?
 
[quote name='refusedchaos']Mario Kart for Wii is AWFUL[/quote]

Thank you. I just wish Brawl had it's sturdy (free) online service.
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']Madworld and uh......yeah you're right lol.[/quote]

Save your money and try to play those games on a friend's system. You'll be happy you saved your 200+ dollars.

The most I have seen that for is $150 and it was also a Bandai Visual release, who were known to charged out the ass for things. But who knows what they'll charge for NGE...

I agree. My wii is just collecting dust now. :cry: Thinking about selling it to get a few more PS3/360 games since there's nothing to look forward to.
 
Do you get your Custom title after 1k posts or 1 year?

I might go see if Hastings finally dropped the greatest hits games to the greatest hits price on the tripple.
