GGT 136 is ready for the 3rd Strike!

[quote name='corrosivefrost']That was probably the worst part of Shank. I started a playthrough on hard... might've gotten to the first boss before I decided another run through wasn't worth my time, especially since the last boss would give me an aneurysm.[/QUOTE]
I played on Normal and my head almost exploded on the final boss. He was just fucking ridiculous and totally ruined the game for me. I don't think I'll ever go back to it.
 
Forgot to mention GG in SSF4 AE Uraizen. Despite the distance the online play wasn't too bad, but I fear if we played anything other than AE it won't go as well.

Get hyped 3s tomorrow!

Some guy with Sakura (Uryo) took 3rd place at GodsGarden4 -- some good matches worth watching there as he takes on Tokido and Poongko. (Worth watching those, you might pick something up, as a Sakura player... :) )[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the link Frosty. :D

Uraizen was telling me about this, and how there was a high level Sakura player who got 3rd place, glad I can see some videos of the matches.
 
Yeah, I'm done with Shattered Dimensions. There is no way I can put up with any more of the Noir gameplay.

Deus Ex: HR is getting some pretty good reviews. It's a shame I need to hold off to save for my PC and the fall game releases...

Don't you live in the deep south? Like right next to where amazon ships all their stuff? What games don't they have release date delivery on?

Anyone interested in Skullgirls on XBL? I really dislike the artwork/style, but the core mechanics look great.[/QUOTE]

I would if it wasn't filled with anime girls. I don't mind the art style so much as its content. It seems like they're doing everything else right though with ggpo and a cool fighting system

I don't recall having much of an issue with the final boss of Shank (normal). Might have died a couple of times but nothing enraging.

Same here. I really hope it lives up to expectations.

Not anymore sadly, Kansas these days. I don't think it's a problem with where I live but them just not offering RDD. They aren't offering it on MGS HD Collection, UMvC3, or DR2: off the Record.
 
3SO and new GPU tomorrow, hype.

Douche Ex is pretty sweet. Can't wait to snag a dirt cheap Steam key off of Ebay since AMD is giving codes away with Radeons.

KOFXIII will be fun as hell, even if I end up beating up the AI all day due to shitty netcode.

Dawg, Green Man Gaming had it for $34 and can be used for Steam. I'm a slut for fighting games, so KoFXIII is on that pre-order.

Sure you can. It's GGPO. If somehow GGPO stopped working, fighting games are proper fucked.

Probably because they're straight up budget priced at $40.

I have to admit even if the online is terrible which more than likely it will be I'll still play it online anyway.

On another note I started Vanquish last night. I should have started it sooner because its amazing. :drool:
 
[quote name='whoknows']I can't wait to get mine either, even though I work 4-12 tomorrow :cry:[/QUOTE]

PC Gaming wins with pre-loading!

I got roughly the same hours too and when I get back, I'll be dling 3sOE and playing Deus Ex.

It's for PSN also and I HATE the artwork/style with a passion. However, the game itself looks good, so I'll buy it.

Hey, KoF XIII is really fun, it just needs good netcode to go with it now.
 
[quote name='seanr1221']Tomorrow will be a good day. Only one client, picking up Deus Ex before and an engagement ring from CostCo (yes, CostCo) after.[/QUOTE]

Congratulations dude! That's awesome.

Just looked up a Skullgirls gameplay video due to it being mentioned.

artstyle = :puke:

The gameplay doesn't look so hot either. Maybe it's just extremely boring to watch and fun to play.

really dislike the character design and art direction as well, it seems very try-hard
 
SNK lost my interest for fighters when it went to KoF. I was always partial to SamSho myself. Fatal Fury was okay, but I wasn't big on it. Loved SamSho 1 and 2... 3 wasn't bad from my experience... but they dropped them mostly and moved on to focus on KoF, so I haven't played a SNK fighter since I tried KoF12 or whatever it was and brought it back after 5 minutes.

What's great about the Skullgirls game is they're doing everything a fighting game lover would do if they created a game, I believe.
GGPO, small roster full of really differentiated characters, they even have HITBOX data viewable in training mode.
I LOATHE the artstyle. Absolutely wretched, at least the girl with the giant arms on her head... but after watching other trailers, I'm a bit more intrigued and want to support the devs.

Highlights include but are not limited to:
-A training mode with cool features like save state and hitbox display
-Discussion on future plans regarding tutorial and A.I. design
-One unified, canon story similar to Blazblue (a separate story mode I assume) but with non-canon endings in the arcade mode
-8 characters at launch.

I think I mostly just hate the combo counter and cerebella's arms on her head. :lol
Holy shit... choose your own assist?!

You should really check out KoFXI for PS2. It can be had for like 5 bucks at a bunch of places (TRU, Five Below) and is really really good.

I'm a Fatal Fury fan myself, so I was also saddened when they dropped that after Garou. Also KoF XII was horrible. Don't use that to judge things.

Yeah it is. If you don't have it, and can find it, then definitely pick it up.

So what you're saying is a fighting game lover loves anime girls? I guess that answers why Uraizen loves RPGs so much.

Core mechanics. CORE MECHANICS!
Hitbox data, great training mode features, infinite detection system, ability to choose your assist, etc.

That would get you 2 costume packs for free. I wonder if they are fixing the "only 1 person can wear a costume with no alternate colors" bullshit. :rofl:

Speaking of UMvC3 and 3SOE:

[quote name='Haunts']
So while 3rd Strike Online Edition is just as unbalanced as the original, and you may find a few faults to nitpick -- such as replays not being labeled with players screennames -- but for around 15 bucks you'll hardly get the feeling that you didn't get your money's worth. The game is so polished and so jam packed full of extra features you might actually look at games in your collection you paid $60 for, and wonder how the publishers got away with such highway robbery.[/QUOTE]

*Cough*MvC3*Cough*

[quote name='Haunts']
While you'll probably be very impressed by the netcode if you haven't played a game using GGPO before, there can be some instances where you'll scratch your head wondering what happened due to the roll back system. For instance, I would have matches where the game says "KO!" but apparently the opponent had blocked or something, the game rolled back, and the match in fact still goes on. This sounds strange, but you'll understand what I mean once you give the online a whirl. In short, it never feels like you're playing underwater, but it's not always perfect either.

Overall the online experience is much smoother and far more complete than most other fighting games on the market. Rematches are quick and painless in a player match lobby, and the ranked mode simply pits you against your opponent at the tap of a button. Toss in a slick tournament mode, the ability to save replays and spectate matches, and you'll quickly find it very difficult to put down the controller once you've logged in and started playing against others.[/QUOTE]

Sounds good. Can't wait!

Can't believe Namco/FROM software are giving a collector's edition to anyone who preorders... so fuckin' psyched! Looks nice!

I know! It'd be double awesome! I'd probably just trade GS' code away for a BB code though, since I prefer Wesker and Elvis Modok. They better fix that no alternate colors crap. I don't want to be cockblocked on my AoX Cap.

Yeah, they claim they were trying to slow down the amount of rushdown -- however, watching footage, it's hard to see that when it looks like everyone has less health and XF nerfs haven't really done much. A lot of the new characters seem like they *can* play "lame" [hate that term], especially Strange.

You could always give it to your good buddy frost to entice him to get the game sooner and play against you. :bouncy:
