[quote name='FriskyTanuki']The biggest problem with some shonen anime is when they don't seem to have any kind of conclusion in sight, whether for the current arc or the series overall.[/QUOTE]

Yes that is another problem and kind of ties into my complaints, like they are so long that they typically spread the thing out by wasting many chapters or episodes (often in a row) on characters training to get more powerful or fighting in long drawn out tournaments.

Shoujo manga typically doesn't seem to reach the ridiculous length of Shonen so it doesn't seem to have pacing issues where all character development is halted so everyone can fight each other or get more powerful. I think Shoujo manga reader's typically expect that the comics will end happily and with two characters falling in love so the ending is often important, whereas Shonen focuses on a journey where the interesting part is how the main character reaches a goal rather than the actual moment that the character finally does reach their ultimate goal which is how they get away with making it so long (often in my eyes needlessly so).
 
Well I just got back from going to Target which opened up an hour ago. Me and my brother waltzed right in to a crowd being funneled throughout the store. He got his stuff, and I got my stuff, which included a red DS iXL bundle. It wasn't really that bad.
 
[quote name='jman619']Much time into Uncharted 2 mp? You didn't play it 2 hours worth online. I loved it. I'm going to try to stay up till 3am est to see the Amazon deals. I use to could stay up till 4 easy,but I go to bed before 1 usually these days. I'm tired now.
 
I haven't had any bad experiences with Emerson, personally. They've always worked great for me.

WOOO! My mom is supposed to be getting me ACiT and maaaaybe some other stuff for Christmas! I am at peace now.
 
damnit UPS deliver GT5 already. It's bad enough they screwed me out of release day delivery because they didn't ring the bell when they stopped to 'deliver' it.
 
[quote name='dallow']Time Crisis lightning deal for $23? Ordered.

Now I can sleep.[/QUOTE]

I stayed up till 3 last night and was going to order it and it wouldn't let me add it to the cart. I'm still kind of pissed about it. I stayed up for nothing and feel terrible today. Plus I wanted the game for 23 and now I can't get it that cheap. fuck you Amazon!
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']Would a UK version of Vanquish for work on my US PS3?[/QUOTE]Would work fine in HD. Except any DLC would need to need to be from the UK store.
The only DLC that exists is some weapon pack.
 
Caved in and got a PSP bundle at gamestop today. $38 after credit. They even let me trade in LBP and Karate Kid before I bought it! Pretty lame that they only give you a 1gb stick. I would've bought Peace Walker and Persona 3 Portable on PSN, but neither game fits on the stick.

Looking through the PSN store, I noticed that the PSP is the home of the weird and obscure RPG. I haven't heard of even half of these games :lol:

Any recommendations? Played the Phantasy Star Portable 2 demo...I'm actually considering getting it before anything else. The demo is damn good.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']Well, since they said a Hori Fighting Stick 3 is a top arcade stick, I'd guess Haze.[/QUOTE]

It was MW2. Haze should have came up. That would have been to funny to see all the comments.

I would just buy the Persona 3 Portable UMD honestly, it's well worth the money and the game is fantastic. Im not sure what your thoughts on the Kingdom Heart series is, since I know some of you hate it, some love it, but that would be another recommendation. I haven't played Ghost of Sparta yet, but everyone who has is raving about how good that is.
 
so I called and bitched at UPS about their delivery guy not waiting to for someone to come to the door. According to them its not their problem We're talking literally 10 seconds, and the guy is already on his way.

:rofl:

[quote name='jman619']Hate I stayed up late and couldn't get Time Crisis. Maybe they will have something else I want. I was tempted to buy Reach at 30,but I passed on it.[/QUOTE]

Had a similar problem with AssBros, had to make a new account. -_-
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']Eh, with conversion rate and such, vanquish was still almost $30. Too much.[/QUOTE]

That's how much I wanted the NTSC version for. =(

Can't be. That's not just best FPS ever, it's best game ever.
 
Hurray, my Majin and the Foresaken Kingdom will be here Monday, I'm excited to give it a try. Hopefully I can beat AC Brotherhood by the end of this weekend, I'm just going to focus on the main storyline for now, and eventually go back for the extra side missions.
 
hmmm... only deal I bothered with today was Saving Private Ryan on Blu for $10. There were no good game deals for stuff I didn't already have. :whistle2:/
 
all I got was the PSP LBP bundle for $40 after store cred and a copy of Persona 3 Portable for full price. A cool cag is sending me Peace Walker for $16 shipped. The PSP 3000's screen is awesome, aside from the scanlines. A mile beyond the 2000s blurry ghosty mess.

I might pass on Phantasy Star Portable 2. There's a boss fight in the demo (with the dragon) that was possibly the most annoying and repetitive thing ever. I hate it when you get a bosses' pattern down, then you have to spend an extra 10 minutes whittling them down. Anyone here played it? Is this a common thing in the game? It's a shame because I was sold up until then.
 
Picked up a bunch of clothes and that is pretty much it. Will also pick up a copy of Left 4 Dead 2 at 10 bucks in a few minutes on Amazon.

Can anyone recommend me a high quality surround sound headset that will work with Xbox 360?

I have the Turtle Beach DX11's and I am quite happy with them. They are wired, surround sound. A bit pricey though.
 
I brought too many games. I got Sims 3(PC), Need For Speed:HP, Fable 3, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 and Dance central.
 
Bought Smackdown VS Raw 2011,NFS Hot Pursuit,COD 4,Lucha Libre AAA Heroes Of The Ring.

Would have got Time Crisis Razing Storm If Amazon wasn't being gay last night. Still pissed about that one.

I would buy Heavy Rain and Singularity. If I had the money. I might end of buying one of those. There coming up in the Amazon deals at 12:15 EST.

I know Lucha Libre is prob crap,but instead of 30 at amazon I saw one pop up for 20 used in the warehouse deals. I figured I might as well get it. Maybe I'll enjoy it. :lol:

If heavy rain is cheap enough, I'll bite.

$20 or less, because I spoiled myself with the ending. :rofl:

$15 or less for Singularity and $20ish for Heavy Rain and I'll buy both.
 
[quote name='whoknows']$15 or less for Singularity and $20ish for Heavy Rain and I'll buy both.[/QUOTE]

I've only got one 25 dollar amazon gift card left. If Singularity is actually 20 I'll buy it. If Heavy rain was actually 25 I would be tempted,but I feel they will list it at 30.
 
[quote name='whoknows']$15 or less for Singularity and $20ish for Heavy Rain and I'll buy both.[/QUOTE]

I'll go $20 for Singularity, it's that price at newegg, so they'll probably match it. Amazon's is the one with the comic book, though, so they win. Then again, amazon had Blur for $25 and newegg has it for $20, so we'll see. I SHALL BUY IT AND ENJOY IT TO THE FULLEST, after I figure out which game I want to play first. I think I single handedly doubled my PS3 collection the past few days. It was small to begin with, so whatever.

That's funny. I pretty much doubled my 360 collection by getting Hot Pursuit and RDR for it. Other than that I have like...Reach and ME2.
 
.........I have close to 100 PS3 games, and that number is only growing >.> I couldn't resist RE5 Gold for $20 so I picked that up too. Now if anyone wants to play that, I can join! Im going to try the Move controls out with it, so for that I am pretty excited :D
 
anyone who wanted/interested in RE5:Gold for PS3, it's $20 on amazon right now.

cheska, if you want to play RE5, I'm game whenever, just message me. mercenaries mode or straight up coop.

weird, usually they will not go away until you come to the door -- at least for me. i'll be in REM sleep and he will ring that shit alll morning long, have to climb out of bed, push aside 4 crazy dogs and sign for the package.

"sorry if i woke you."

:bomb:
 
LOL at the Singularity "deal" on amazon. Guess I'm not getting any games this Black Friday. I did pick up a handful of blu-rays though.
 
People on the fence about Heavy Rain -- great game, rent it. Save it for a weekend or something, it's short enough to comfortably beat in two nights. Never really saw an value in replaying the game though to be honest. I know it can branch in a variety of ways but you should really just play it once. Instead of going through it all again to make different choices here and there, just go to YouTube and amuse yourself with other people's experiences.

It's a cool game with an okay story. I'd kill myself if I payed more than $10 for it.

Yea took me like a year... no joke..


[quote name='whoknows']Should I start Hot Pursuit or RDR first?[/QUOTE]
RDR. You'll think it's wayyy too slow if you play it after NFS...
