[quote name='corrosivefrost']Sure they are. Any character in 13 is better than anyone in X, save Lulu. And since all characters in 12 were bland and mostly interchangeable, the only one worth a damn there was Fran. Vanille is the least tolerable of 13, but it's mostly because of her retarded NA voice actor. I wish there was a patch for Japanese VA with subs.[/QUOTE]
Now that is just crazy talk. The only decent characters in 13 were Lightning and the black guy.

Wrong. :p

As far as I'm concerned, Sazh is right there with Vanille. The only thing that makes him tolerable is the chocobo chick. Even Hope is more tolerable than those two, once the story has played out.

I don't really agree with that, her character is a ditz and I think the voice actor did a good job portraying that; like the Japanese voice actor makes her sound like a ditz too. I mean I find her annoying too, but I think that was the point so I wouldn't say the voice actor did a bad job... especially since there are plenty of games out there with actual bad voice work, and I'd say as far as voice acting goes FF13 is really good.

I say the VA is bad because the type of Australian accent she has seems to change. And the localization really sucks. I'm so tired of casting death and hearing "I'm going to see this through.". :(

Odd, because her voice actress is an Australian.
 
It's just you JSP.

I missed Lost Planet 2 for $19.99. I would've picked it up for that price - Fight Club.

It was that price at both gogamer and amazon for a while. =\

Sucks, I could of used somebody to co-op with.
 
Oh man, I just got to the fourth stage of Ketsui on one credit. Killing that third stage boss was one of the most thrilling things ever... I was freaking out until the fourth stage started, and then i died. And why not? Look at this shit:

XBLA's Summer of Arcade is pathetic. Guwange would've saved it, but nooooo... that's not out till September or October.
 
US getting Guwange by any chance?

Though, with all that Cave announced, I really need a j360.

Ugh. Really wish all these were on PS3. What an odd partnership.
 
I wish they were on PS3 too. Stupid system with no region lock out gets nothing to import. I don't really want a Japanese 360. I don't want a 360 at all really. . .

Guwange is badass.

Yeah, Guwange's coming to the US. I actually think that the US release is what the hold-up is... because Guwange's been on partnernet for about a month. But it should be a simultaneous release across all countries the game is being brought to... which would be great. English language > Japanese.

Still d/l-ing that shit on my J360 so I feel 1337, though. Yay for no region lock-out on XBLA games!

The irony is beyond all comprehension. Last gen, the PS2 was THE system for import games. Now the PS3 has region free games and all the good imports are on the region locked (devs choice, I know) 360.

Yeah, it's lame. Total reversal of how it was last gen.
 
It's a little sad, too, because the 360 has somehow become a much better shmup system than the PS2 ever was. Honestly, I think that with the latest batch of Cave announcements, it's up there with the Saturn and PC Engine. Maybe not quite, but damn close now.
 
Those should really be on XBLA. I can't stand that they're on discs.

Anyway, Platinum Trophy #18, Go-Go Bionic. I need to find a good way to dispose of Bionic Commando in the most gruesome way possible. I hate this game.
 
It's more than a little sad. I have an out-of-the-box region compatible import machine in the PS3...and no fuck ing Cave shmups to play on it. wtf Sorny, yuuu deesuraponyo meeeee.

I'll never understand why people play games they don't like for their e-peen.

I'll use cheese to lengthen the life of a game I like, but other wise theres no way I'm touching a game I don't like.

Same here. I may finish a game I don't like once in a while if I don't realize I hate it until I'm near the end, but usually I'll just stop playing a game if I don't like it. I won't even bother with achievements for most games that I love, let alone the ones I don't like. There's plenty of other games out there that I could be playing instead.
 
I decided to put more time into Tales of Destiny 2 Japan import. Shockingly, still having no issues playing the game in Japanese, but I could be very use to Team Destiny setup for Tales games. I just ordered Tales of Rebirth import.

I decided to play a little HAWX on my PS3, but struggled on a mission due to not taking out radars quick enough.

Mostly just watched more Eureka SeveN instead of gaming all day.

My YS 7 Limited Edition just shipped from Amazon. :D

I like to persevere sometimes. Why? I dunno.

Back to Arkham Asylum.

Play Yakuza 4.

That bears the assumption that gunm can read/speak/understand Japanese.

[quote name='gunm']I haven't finished Yakuza 3 yet Ree Ree.[/QUOTE]

I finished it a few weeks ago... very worth it.

and thats coming from someone that hasnt beaten yakuza 1 or 2
 
I have something like 30 import titles for my PS2. It's great.

I once almost bought the then-new Initial D game for PS3.

Did anyone play Naughty Bear?
I saw a used copy at GS a while back, and couldn't believe the game had come out without any one saying anything.... so it had to be pretty damn terrible.
 
The video review of it made it look absolutely awful.

A serial killer/stalker game featuring teddy bears is like some ICP/Juggalo bullshit.
 
[quote name='panzerfaust']Did you finish the game first? Makes it much easier (but still tons of grinding, regardless).[/QUOTE]

Yeah... Only trophies I'm missing:

All weapons/accessories (have a bunch of stuff... I need a shite ton of perovskite apparently... some adamantite and some dark matter. Then whatever for the weapons -- I already have a system in place to cover traps; just missing Gilgamesh only weapons and tier 2s).
All missions
All missions 5 star (1-51 5-stared, 54/57/58/61 also might be done)
All undying (just 64)
Maxed Characters (all characters are just about lv 5 in main 3 roles, most are lv 1-2 in other roles)
 
I'm still loling at how frosty surpassed my FFXIII progress in like a week.

I played about 5 minutes of it today, I'm at the part where everyone goes to rescue Sazh and Vanille from something. A ship?

Yeah... you're almost at the beginning of chapter 11 when it actually opens up.
 
You're about to fight the toughest boss in the game. Well, only the bad the players say that. The good players beat it without it casting Doom.

After I beat Arkham Asylum on Normal (I've beaten it on Easy and Hard) I think I'll go punish myself again by going back to Demon's Souls.
 
Well my friend finally got me to break down and buy Starcraft 2 even though I'm terrible at RTS games. So far I played a couple of co-op matches with him against CPUs and I've done two of the Campaign missions.

The game is solid and kind of fun, but I still suck at RTS. I will say that having achievements to strive for is nice... though the like 1000 wins playing as one race seems like something I will never accomplish haha.

The built in communication stuff is nice though for text chatting with friends and for communicating with a mic while playing in a party.
 
Gotta say, I'm kinda hyped for the Top Gun game.

SP campaign, 16 player online, including a"horde" mode

Top Gun theme and Danger Zone included?

Hope it's good.
