GGT 143 chainsawed Kudo Tsunoda, not in Gears 3 but for real

[quote name='FriskyTanuki']Ghost of Sparta has a lot of the GoW3 improvements. Chains came out before 3, so there's no way that it could have that in there.[/QUOTE]

When they went back and did all the work upping the resolution, I can't imagine it would have been that much of a hassle to move the button prompts from the center of the screen to the edges. :p If it was just straight emulation? Sure, but considering some of the behind-the-scenes stuff I saw, it was a lot more than just emulating it with a high res texture pack and trophy support. It would have been really nice of them to do that, shame they didn't (or couldn't, but I'll go with didn't for now :cool:).

They're not remakes. They just upped the visuals to HD.

Lookin' sweet.

Hope it has as many infinites as Hokuto no Ken arcade and Sengoku Basara X. :bouncy:
 
[quote name='CaptainJoel']I got K'nex the holdiay season of whatever year they came out and loved them. My parents never bought me legos, just K'nex. In fact, I'd never even built anything with legos until my mom married the guy I now call dad (he has a sweet star wars lego collection).[/QUOTE]

Sounds like a winner in my book. I think the star wars themed ones came out after my prime.

Actually that is correct. But of course you know who we were talking about since you are the same person as linkpwns.
 
[quote name='ihadFG']He actually retired a while ago.[/QUOTE]

Shit. I was wondering who Mr. a;jkfkl;dsajfs was on my friends list. Whenever GT's change I get so confused.

Ooooh, you guys are talking about ihadfg's old GT. Shit, I was wondering what JSP/linkpwns was talking about.

Just because you alter the placement of an icon displayed on the screen doesn't make it a remake. And they did more than just up the visuals to HD, they added 3D and trophy support, and given the low resolution of the original games, I believe they had to do more than just add some upgraded textures to the game.

Regardless, I don't care what you call the games, if they added trophy support and 3D, they could have damn well tweaked the placement of the icons on the screen during QTEs.

They only remastered the game to look better for a new platform, which isn't about changing anything else. Remakes make more substantial changes even if they're not that huge, like Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes.

Though I haven't played RB3 in months, I still have the dongle on my PS3 for the two extra USB slots. The problem is that using for transferring Persona 2 to my PSP takes way longer than without it, so that thing is kind of useless outside of daisy-chaining RB dongles.

[quote name='distgfx']Remake = RE1 on PS1 to RE1 Remake on GC
Upscaled = GoW Origins Collection, GoW Collection, PoP Collection, RE4HD, etc.[/QUOTE]

Agree completely.

That said, the crux of the matter was whether or not shifting the button prompts for QTEs constituted a remake. :p

People mix up the terms "remake" and "port" so much nowadays that I no longer have the motivation to point out the difference. However: also agreed with distgfx.
 
Finished up Gears 3. The campaign did not let me down. There were some nice little touches as well.


[quote name='linkpwns']Yo who wants to play dat gears?[/QUOTE]

Also, this is what happens when you win in gears:

I skimmed the posts, at best.

So this black girl
I say she's black because she is, not because I'm racist. I'm trying to visualize the story for you guys.
who works with me tried to put me and another coworker on the spot by saying something into the walkie when she was just ten feet away from us. We laughed at her.

She then came over to confront us about why we were laughing. I told her it was because what she just did was stupid.

So now we have this whole incident at work that we have to clear up tomorrow, which I'm fine with. Any shit she tries to throw at me, I can throw twice as much back at her.
 
I was at Popeye's one day and this black chick, her sister, and her daughter came in all up in arms over the drive through worker giving them attitude. She said "Who's the fuckin' manager? I dun need ta be disrespected!!" The manager came out and asked her what her problem is. She said the drive through worker gave her some attitude. The manager said "I was working drive through." The black woman said "OK Imma beat your fuckin' ass." The manager said "I didn't give you any disrespect. If you're going to cause a scene, I'll call the cops." Black lady said "OK fine, I'll wait out in the fuckin' parking lot until you clock out, then Imma fucking beat your ass!!" Manager said "I don't give a shit, get the fuck out of my store if you're going to cause a scene and not act civilized."

I laughed and ate my spicy strips.

That's nothing. I used to get my life threatened on a weekly basis when I worked at Gamestop. I have tons of stories from my time in that hell hole...

I think you should blog them all.
 
Probably my favorite story:

A guy comes in and wants to buy the first Two Worlds. As usual when I saw a customer buy a game like that I explain that he's probably going to want to get it used since he can return it if he doesn't like it. He doesn't listen and buys the game anyway. As you can guess he comes back in later that day wanting a refund. Well I can't give a refund on an opened new product. The guy starts screaming and swearing at me because he can't get a refund. I calmly ask him to calm down and not to get so animated. Definitely the wrong thing to say. For those that don't know, when dealing with ghetto people if you use terms they don't understand they assume it's an insult. The guy stops and says, "Animated? Animated!?" Starts screaming even more, threatening to stab me when I get out of work. Finally he storms out, pushing a gift card rack over on his way out.

Why do they always have to push something over?

I was off today, so I played through it. It was probably about 7 hours.
