[quote name='CaptainJoel']I completely agree with you on the story bit.

Man, Gears 3 looks amazing. I can't wait to play Dom. He looks like a bear.[/QUOTE]

The only reason MGS4 isn't higher in my gameplay list is the gameplay is so short and so wildly varied. Chapter 1, 2, and 4 were just wicked though. I think the last chapter really soured it for me. And I wasn't a fan of the city tracking stuff in Chapter 3.

And I didn't even recognize Dom. I think that's sort of what they wanted to convey -- that losing his family and letting himself go made him change on the inside and out. I might've pieced it together if I watched the trailer a few times, but I saw in a linked article that it was actually Dom before I rewatched it -- looking at the still, I still think it's hard to tell. Probably due to (a) advances in the Unreal engine, (b) the new look/aging they did for him, (c) the environment where people are covered in ash.
 
PS3 so I can play online with you when I get it in 2011.

Shoot1UP coming to PSN. Cool!

First XBL Indie to "full" release I think.
 
Damnit... I got my copy of Splinter Cell and it keeps freezing in the same spot. Guess I'll have to go back to gamestop and exchange it.

edit: Nevermind. It seems to be a problem with the game.

That was my problem with MGS4, too. I remember how much I wanted to play it, but there wasn't that much actual gameplay. I think MGS4 is the only MGS game where I thought the cutscenes were excessive. The gameplay that was there was awesome, though. The Metal Gear fight was so utterly epic that I'm still amazed when I see/play it.

I could tell it was Dom, but barely. They did a very good job showing that he's aged. I just hope that his character's actually matured, too. I can't wait to see what kind of awesome things happen in the story. Hopefully they have some good above ground environments and more popcorn moments like the last game.

Yeah, stupid patch. Now I have to play offline.

I thought it was my disc at first since it had a few minor scratches on it.
 
Yup. Months of delays and Ubisoft can't deliver a functional game. Awesome. They most certainly peaked on the original Xbox. Assassin's Creed 2 was a fluke.

Fixed
 
The game is fine, but they released a patch for the co-op that somehow breaks the single player. You have to delete the patch so the game doesn't freeze. I don't even know if the co-op was broken before.
 
[quote name='gunm']BTW, I'm getting Red Dead on 360, if anyone wants to posse up![/QUOTE]

Yea havent decided yet which to get it on. Probably leaning towards 360, especially if the majority of CAGs/GGTers get it in 360.
 
I read the first 8 issues of Ultimate Spider-man Vol 3. Ultimate spidey might be my favorite Ultimate universe character.

Also, women. In gears of war. Impossible.

I actually agree. With the human population dwindling, wouldnt it be best to keep the woman back to preserve their ability to reproduce?

I really enjoyed Ultimate Spider-man until the end of ultimatum. I seriously don't know what to think of it now.

Yeah, I deleted the patch and the game runs fine.

That was part of the plot for Gears, actually. I'm sure they'll have a semi-plausible reason for Anya to be on the battlefield, though.

Also, I hope Dom isn't too emo in 3. I know he's depressed about losing his wife and all, but I just don't want it to turn into a "WHY SHOULD I KEEP FIGHTING" situation.

I think it's actually great right now, especially with the introduction of Ultimate Rick Jones. The art is fantastic, too.

Maybe, but it took a while for it to go anywhere. And I think the new art is ok. Also
I'd still like to know whats going on with Kitty.

I don't think Kitty's a real spoiler... She's been in like, 4 issues now, I think. I prefer Gwen over her.

What she does is kinda a spoiler. And I kinda like her more then Gwen... but I Jessica Drew is my favorite.

Jessica Drew as in Ultimate Scarlet Spiderwoman Jessica Drew? I love her, too! She's great. She needs her own book.
 
Captain Joel just likes any character with the word scarlet in their name.

[quote name='DarkNessBear']The SC2 community can be really competitive dicks at times. The majority of times.[/QUOTE]

The entire community is competitive. There is a huge scandal right now in SC1 now about competitive players fixing matches.
 
[quote name='DarkNessBear']The SC2 community can be really competitive dicks at times. The majority of times.[/QUOTE]

Yeah it's why I don't really play it. I can understand why they're like that I guess, but I don't have fun when I'm playing so I don't play it much.
 
Just Cause 2 is so close to greatness. I hope the (inevitable) sequel fixes the crappy gunplay and annoying health system.

You know me well, my friend.

I ordered AC2 and Prototype from the GameFly sale and now I'm dying to play them. Especially AC2.

I'm going to get it on PS3

If I fix my PS3 by then

Which I might
 
[quote name='Jimbo Slice']Anyone else picking up Final Fight Double Impact for XBLA tomorrow?[/QUOTE]

I kind of want it on PS3, but with my PS3 unable to get online currently, that's going to be a problem.

And as much as I'm considering it on 360 instead, I know that probably sooner rather than later, it will be discounted to 50% off... so I might as well save my points.
 
I'm definitely getting Double Impact, because I'm a huge final fight fan, but I'm not sure which system I'm getting it on yet. Actually, I wonder if I can even get on XBL anymore since I cancelled my Gold account by letting my CC lapse. Last time I did that, it was a problem to even get onto the network at all...

Yeah, they're going to be pricks about that Chac. I believe Rolento had something like that happen and there was a fiasco about them trying to bill him for the $60 for a year and wouldn't accept codes for the account unless the $60 was paid first.

If not Rolento, someone else up ins had an experience like that.
 
[quote name='Mr. Beef']No Final Fight for me. Unless they can somehow get the rights to bring Final Fight 3 onto XBL/PSN, then no dice.[/QUOTE]

I think I'm honestly more interested in it for Magic Sword.

it's $50 a year, if you like paying too much. $30 is more like what it actually goes for.

and you can buy stuff regardless of if you're gold or silver.

Conviction is pretty great so far. Feels very very different from the old games. Very simplified and streamlined. Lets you fudge a lot of things the old games would have punished you for.

I don't know if I like the B button melee win button whenever a guard is nearby. it's like your bailout move if things go bad and dudes are nearby.
 
I'm getting it on 360. More people on my friends list and all that. 400 points would be nice but 800 is reasonable considering the quality of the games.
 
[quote name='dallow']I'll get Magic Sword on PSN if only to support non-Backbone ports and GGPO netcode.[/QUOTE]

I will buy almost any game based on this principle alone.
 
[quote name='SuperPhillip']I beat God of War III last night. I think I'm just going to move onto another game now like Uncharted 2.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it was pretty crappy. Trading it for Heavy Rain. Hopefully that doesn't disappoint.
